Maybe the system should actually check what's at each page. And you should read more carefully. I did not suggest the thing you say is a bad idea.

The point is that we don't want duplicate content, even if it's at slightly different URLs.

First they'd need to have an idea of what intelligence is. At which point they could probably write a simple AI anyway.

Lists are for authors who can't figure out what's important and emphasize it. It's just a long, monotone drawl that abdicates some thinking.

Just don't eat when not hungry. Most people eat large quantities of food all at once. Stop half way and wait 20 minutes and you might not be hungry anymore. If you eat too quickly then you don't know at what point you'd eaten enough to sati

How is it possible to "generalize" from one data point? The normal method of generalizing is finding a similarity shared across many data points, and proposing it applies more widely. Perhaps one could generalize badly with 2 data points, b

The way he "compared" them was to say the list of criterion applies to both of them, and that it clearly shouldn't apply to the other things. What's wrong with that?

If it has certain merits, and certain demerits, then as long as you carefully select which things to read normally, and which to read with it, it will help you. If you want to skim or go back, don't use it. But there are sometimes things yo

Guy is amazed you can get 28th on google in no time. You can get first on Google for obscure terms just by commenting on YC. The site you are on matters, the issue is only whether knol gets special treatment or matters in the normal way.

Not the same. "Depending on the number of screens used, these high-definition video teleconferencing systems that deliver life-size images of the participants used to cost $500,000 or more per room." Life-size video chat!

I agree with you that !, &&, || aren't the best idea ever. I wonder if the reason behind them over words is so you don't have to put spaces around them. Omitting spaces seems to be popular with the infix crowd (e.g., they happily gi

You said you use "unless" in English as if that proved it was good to use it in boolean logic too. It doesn't. For example, I am happy to use !, &&, and || in my code, even though they aren't English. The criterion for what makes go

I love ruby, and use ruby at my job. I just don't write unless. Certainly there is no cause for someone to say a statement is mistaken just because it used if+not. Nor to guess that someone won't like ruby just because he doesn't like unles
