Seems like this and bloom filters. Constantly on HN. Both mostly useless
- burnished 5y agoWhat if its that thing where when you learn about something it seems like its suddenly everywhere, except it was always there, you're just noticing it now?
- ctcherry 5y agoThe Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon
- Trufa 5y agoBaader–Meinhof phenomenon :)
- alasdair_ 5y agoI keep seeing references to the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon all over the place lately...
- reducesuffering 5y agoI'm losing track of all the references to scientist named phenomena: Baader-Meinhof, Dunning-Kruger, Gell-Mann Amnesia, etc.
- seattle_spring 5y agoThere's gotta be a scientist-named phenomena for that.
- yesenadam 5y agoIt seems the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon wasn't named by or after scientists, if that's what you meant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army_Faction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
- Maursault 5y agoThis could be coincidence, synchronicity or déjà vu, unless it's merely hilarious. Because if seeing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon everywhere is in fact the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, then it becomes recursive. I'm guessing it is hilarious.
- DonHopkins 5y agoWhat is it called when somebody asks you to describe in single words only the good things that come to mind about your mother, and you shoot them? The Voight-Kampff effect.

- function_seven 5y agoI like to think of these things as "in the know" retorts. Things that the writer appear to think are novel concepts, but we've seen them so many times that they're not. * Dunning-Kruger * That xkcd 10,000 People comic[0] (Getting meta in my own comment!) * "HR is not your friend" * "Corporations only goal is to increase share price" * "You're the product" I'm sure I could name another dozen or so if I had the inclination.

- michaelcampbell 5y agoI'm thankful, honestly, that those crowded out the weekly wonderous new battery technology discovered that will revolutionize everything.
