Well, how you interpret whether or not what we don't know will occur next can still be considered a fact depends on your core worldview (e.g., compatibilism, deterministic, fatalistic, etc.). I subscribe to the belief that there are four ty

kragen, chromosomes passed on from Spanish people from their own ancestries are not something that people distinguish/highlight--at least not in South America. You are right, however, in stating that, colloquially/conversationally, "Moorish

I'm sorry, but you are only partly right. Let me first say this confusion exists also amongst some Latin Americans because there is a lack of Latin American history (as South American and Central American continents) taught in Latin America

Wow, I'm surprised. You completely misunderstood what I said. Anyway, I don't think it is appropriate to continue with this subject on this type of site.

Not only have I traveled to different Latin American countries, I am from a South American country. Also, I studied it formally (at university) and have written numerous research papers on Latin American identity, history and culture. And n

Could it be you're (gasp!) not informed instead of it being "non-sequiturial"? Saying Miami is more Latin American than Buenos Aires is stereotypical and prejudice because this statement suggests there is something intrinsically Latin Ameri

Again, stereotypical and prejudice. Last I checked, Spain was in Europe.

I understand that. My point is why call it Paleo-anything (2.0, etc.) if it only resembles it in a maximum of 35%? And that's not even counting that you eat cheese, butter, yogurt and chocolate. I'm not criticizing your diet, I'm criticizin

One of the major parts of the Paleolithic diet is consuming at least 65% meat. With this in mind, you can see how your diet is very much not like theirs.

Argh. This is what I don't like about non-tech, -IT, and -CS articles posted on HN: people go off on tangents with so little (useless) information. I'm sorry to say this article is poor on information. Let's stick to the facts. Complex carb

No. Technically, we're a federal constitutional republic and a representative democracy. The "representative" part was implied in my previous comment.

It's called democracy for a reason.

Or: "Small Team + Big Ideas," no? Since the article says, "A year from now, he expects the company won’t have launched 20 small, cool ideas, but it will have developed four-to-six big, audacious ones."

> Did you watch the video? While I don't play violin, my wife's a composer (and plays viola & cello), and that 'electric violin' portion of the video was probably the most cringe-worthy part of the video. I agree. I'm a musician and

Western music theory and programming are similar in that both are systematic concepts and can use numbers or "functions" to express them. The thing is, that description fits many things (even painting, drawing, photography, etc.), so it mak

> Actually, L. Peter Deutsch famously left programming in favor of composing. That's interesting, because I'm actually "leaving" composing in favor of programming. I've never heard of L. Peter Deutsch but will look him up. Thanks!

Let me play devil's advocate (which might actually play in your favor, seeing as you've used that neologism). How do you think new words and phrases make it into the dictionary? It's by a proportionate amount of people using it for a specif
