Are you just sharing "this is something else on a TV program that amused me", or am I being dense in my failing to spot anything that's similar between the two situations?

Very much depends on the site - certainly there's plenty that are annoying in the way you describe, but there's also plenty (I wouldn't be surprised if either side were the majority) that will take you to the exact same conte

To be fair, I suspect real life is a bit like that too - there will be a big enough % of potential customers who want one of "the classics" for where you are (margherita etc in Italy, pepperoni etc in the UK, whatever) that basica

Sorry but that's bullshit. It's extremely rare for any part of government to have that as an intended purpose. But it's extremely common, unfortunately, for people involved to be willing to accept that as a side effect in pur

I agree with your thinking in the context of "keeping drug policy broadly the same but improving policing of it". But fuck current drug policy. If someone is high on cannabis, or MDMA, or even "harder" drugs like cocaine

Thanks! I figured the orbital paths not being exact circles meant they'd be slight variance in the difference, just wasn't sure if it was enough to matter or if they could treat it as if it was exactly the same all the way around

I agree with you about the majority of "SEO content marketing", but a small minority of it is done by companies who genuinely care about doing good content, that doesn't only act as lazy SEO benefit but also as good marketing

When the two submissions aren't the exact same link, it becomes a subjective question as to whether they're similar enough to count as a dupe or not. They aren't automatically always a dupe just because the overall general to

I often do to, so this reply is not a criticism of your general point, however in this case your would have been better informed to read the actual thing and not the comment you replied to! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

Sorry for doubting you! I had thought it possible someone had set up a dupe-commenting bot (and like I said before, I didn't object if that was what you'd done), and was too lazy to look into whether you were a real person or only

Yeah, I've wondered about that before, but since it seems to more often than not be helpful I figured that even if the motivation was something lame like karma farming it does no harm. I was just surprised this time since it seemed too

Your claims about vaccine trials are not true. I’m not an expert and don’t have time to go and find citations to argue each of your points one by one, but I’ve read enough studies to know that vaccine trials aren’t nearly as sloppy / p

I don't think that apology was needed... at least I can't figure out a reason for it. But thanks anyway (and sorry).

Ironic to post "[dupe]" as a dupe itself.

They didn't say they think there's no benefit (nor give an opinion the other way), just that that's the benefit that counts for a new tool like this, as opposed to the comparison you suggested.

I haven't yet read what the post submitted here is about, and personally I already have the same opinion as the comment you replied to. So I suspect they just wanted to comment about that rather than caring about this specific post, to

I can see that's what they mean now that I've read the replies, but when I first read that top comment I too parsed it as meaning 201k would cost the same as 999k (which admittedly did seem strange, hence I read the replies to con

> "Try that with some names of cities or towns in England." Are you suggesting it's not intuitively obvious that the town 'Towcester' should be pronounced the same as a "toaster" for toasting bread?
