The syntactic structure of both "code" snippets seems equally clear (or maybe "uncertain in the same ways") to me, though my understanding might be a bit off if the author has biased the comparison by following generally

Perhaps you know more of kazinator's history than I do, but that HN account wasn't even created until 2014, so saying kazinator is the one who started this very old argument requires some extra evidence.

Is nobody else at the FSF capable of public advocacy? It seems to me that Stallman's unique ability was formulating the FSF's ideals in the first place, but once the platform is laid out, anyone who holds those ideals ought to be

Epstein's argument seems to assume that any information which shifts an undecided person's view is biased. Basic chemistry lessons make the claims of homeopaths seem downright silly. Does that mean that teaching chemistry is biase

I'm fine with paying a bit extra for more comfort and better service on a flight, but anything short of double the cost of the cheapest coach-class ticket never seems to get me that.

Seeing some people's apparent fixation on the dog park data fabrication as invalidating the whole effort, I have to wonder whether actually collecting the data for that paper would have made all their other hoax papers "legitima

Because reputation spreads. The linguistics department understands that the literature department's behavior does not reflect on the chemistry department, but the electorate seems not to grasp that so easily. Since STEM depends heavily

On top of that, the argument rests on the kind of error you expect to see freshmen making in a discrete math course: > The basic argument is as follows. For simplicity but without loss of generality, assume there are n past price changes

Most of that time is spent trying to figure out how and where to access the W-2 from my employer’s payroll provider. As soon as my employer made it hard for me to download my W-2, I withdrew consent to only receive an electronic copy.

That surprises me, because languages like Lisp, Smalltalk, Ruby and Haskell are all about powerful abstraction capabilities so you can express yourself exactly as you need instead of writing a lot of boilerplate. There is a mindset that&#

Seriously, be open minded about subjective opinion. There is no right/wrong. Risk tolerance is, but refusing to diversify outside of real estate and precious metals is objectively a risky strategy without a history of outperformi

The subs I've heard about banning were echo chambers dedicated to the idea that "this group of people I don't like ought to be [starved|exiled|thrown from helicopters|raped|enslaved]" and such things. If that makes you t

Then A is free to do so, but if he's not actually worth more, then he's likely to find out in his job search that he can't command B's salary. WSJ seems oddly unwilling to let the free market resolve this issue.

If you can't see what's in front of your car in time to react appropriately, you are going too fast for the current road conditions. Reckless driving is a risk created entirely by the driver, not the cyclist who happens to be in f

It is perversely fun to read stories of people who started their own business in order to not have a boss, only to realize that they suddenly have a dozen bosses who don't even coordinate with each other to keep their combined demands

It's a popular idea that there are two legitimate sides to every issue. It's also a wrong idea. "Tolerance" as a societal ideal does not require treating ethnic cleansing as a legitimate goal, a respect-worthy political
