If you're going to kill yourself anyway, why not just acquiesce? (To Russia.) This question may be stupid depending on the reader but I'm asking sincerely.
One is transparent and the other feels like a lie. Not in principle, but in practice.
Children have never been more affordable than they are now. People's wants and expectations have changed.
It's one of those things American pseudo intellectuals do because they think it's more correct and want to sound superior. Maybe they heard a professor say it that way or read it in a book. Anything but actually process…
My point is that it's based on pronunciation. I didn't mean to offend you.
They do, but only because it's been adopted from British media and literature. You might even say it's a symptom of being over-read, if that's possible. "An historic" is certainly used in the US, but it's wrong in all…
It depends on if you're speaking British or American English. The British pronounce it as "istory," so they use "an" before.
Such reason deprives people of the passion to take sides and argue emotionally.
I'm surprised that better science never resulted from that lady who could smell it.
That's why people come here, they learn these things in the comments.

There are rovers on Mars already that landed on the first try. The approach was rigorous planning and study with the highest standards. It doesn't mean the approach SpaceX is taking isn't valuable in some contexts, but…
They said less than 1% of users were affected.
As someone with no knowledge of the topic, why was electrical reform needed? Wouldn't one assume that either party motivated to do it while in power would be doing it with the goal of positively affecting the outcome…
Regardless of the hyperbole in the title, it's an interesting find. I wonder where they were going and what happened to them.
On the other hand demand for premium seats would be down, lowering their price and making a nicer ride more accessible. Overall this would net to lower prices for the same distribution of amenities on a given plane…
I think that take is a little cynical. If it's only for the rich then the prices will be high. Meaning the capitalist mechanism of resource distribution will be even higher (more paid by the rich received as income by…
There are many jobs where it isn't enforced.
Language is for both. Every concept is tied to a label that is a word. We identify pieces of reality by their common attributes while omitting their specific measurements, and attach these identifications to a label…
Whatever happened to Fuchsia? Is that still a thing?
And for every group there is an anti-group, another set of people for whom the group-included feel justified in feeling resentful towards in some way.
Stupid question: how do we know that the universe is strictly exponentially expanding, and not both expanding and contracting in perpetuity like a sin wave? And could such an idea have anything to do with the Hubble…
Completely agree with you. However, I think over time I've come to realize that those hacks that seem obscure, weird, and impossible are not perceived that way by the people who discover them. It's just their area of…
The point of crypto isn't to force decentralization, it's to permit it. If you'd like to keep your crypto on a service like Coinbase, you have that freedom. Alternatively, if you'd like to self-host your crypto, you…
4 was rounding from 3.7, so I think that seems like a bit of a petty correction. Humans will not go extinct (I hope), but HN is full of some of the smartest people and these are their trends, and I hope that of the…
