Ambiguous, leading statements allow a listener to assume the content in lieu of specifics. In the spirit of the MSM's "Fake News" news lately, I submit a seemingly innocuous example: Of all of the "Supermoon" articl

Parse the wording of the statement(s) in question. Look for lapses existing between the actual language of a message and it's intended result. Wordsmith's are expert at saying nothing substantial while allowing(encouraging) the au

"interests of most people"(eg. shareholders) is not necessarily the same as"increase shareholder value", which is their legal mandate under corporate law. In this case, I have no doubt, and admittedly no proof, that this

Cannot help but chuckle at the irony when I forget to allow goog/gstatic when using gmaps and get the non-blank-page stating "without js all that's left is a blank page".

Thumbs up fir Bryson. To take it a step further, Boorstin's "The Discoverers" is a longer, more encompassing version of scientific discoveries. Also, "Empires of Light" is a great chronology of events and people(Tes

In AZ we now have drywall techs and landscape engineers. Don't assume these lofty new names accompany any sort of rise in wages, it's merely newspeak.

In hindsight, this is deliciously ironic advice considering the noteworthy cesspool of Dreg's creation. In 2012 I ventured into the Craigslist chatroom to determine why a posted item I had listed was 'ghosted'. I believe the

Sure about that? The first paragraph of your link is pretty ambiguous, both in the vague criterion for "tested positive" in the first 10% and the unspecified doubled number for "had used pot within hours of a crash"... h

Remaineds me of the joke: Most famous last words: "Hold my beer". And in spite of the ubiquitous alcohol related injuries & mortalities alcohol is peddled 24/7 on every marketing platform to date. Dichotomous & dising

I concur. Some of the most talented, guv skeptics I have met began their careers in military roles(eg:education & training). A blanket ban would be no different than a witch hunt in terms of justice and harm to falsely accused.

My recommendation doesn't carry into the digital space but does explore the history and constructs of early a/v propoganda. The author was the twelfth Librarian of the United States Congress and a critical historian. Considering t

In addition, on my mobile, when I accidentally or intentionally hit the downvote, it doesn't take the first couple of times. This has saved me numerous unintentional downvotes. Thanks, HN!

I am going to chance another downvote to say: Thanks for the clarification.

Hey, sorry to be off-topic, but your post does not have a downvote button for me. The rest do, and I do not want to downvote you, but I am curious as to the 'why not?'.

That was a helluva rush when the cold water flowed up my bicep and into my chest. I was weighing in around 170 then, they always asked why I was so skinny... perhaps probing for indications of a drug problem? Am 6ft 0in, and 25 years later

That seems like a lot of plasma your body has to replenish. Sure the platelets are put back, but sounds extreme... IANAMD. I am referring to my experience in the '90s and it may have been allowed more than 2xs a month, but that is all

The other 1/3 seem to be malpractice lawyers and sugar products... unless you included the sugar in the drugs category. This is why I watch sports on pirate feeds, the repetitive, inane ads replaced by a static image and bad(not worse)

I do not disagree and am not aware of any other significant disclosures from Manning's data. However, the families of the victims deserved to know and the FOIA tequest was nefariously(IMO) denied. Stats don't tell the whole story.

But they did ratchet back the prices! Back in college I went with friends to donate plasma(I had a job, didn't 'need' the money). It was interesting and paid $75 for < 2 hours of my time. Wow! I went back once(twice?) a mo

This tour of Amundsen-Scott Station makes it seem like they're not "roughing it" so much anymore. Sure the sun may not set, pull the blind. Plenty of indoor light for the long nights, as well. Too cold to go outside? Go do a

I believe Obama's pick for VP was an obvious enough contradiction of his platform. Retaining Gates & Geitner solidified, IMO, "change" was not in the cards. Trump is an anomoly to the vetted & selected candidates we u

Valid points, but while I agree resistive sucks in every other instance I have experienced, the n800 and n900 were extremely well implemented iterations. Precision was spot on using fingers, fingernails or the included stylus. As for the sm

"Wasted time first with Maemo"... Damn that hurts my brain to read, and in hindsight, I have to agree. The n900's open platform built on debian, functional resistive touch and a hardware keyboard should have gained traction

Wow, thanks. I made an erroneous connection between the two over a decade ago and have assumed ever since that Lessig was somehow involved with the Archive(board member, legal team, early Kahle collaborator). TIL.
