I mean, in this context I agree. But most people doing math in high school or university are graded on their working of a problem, with the final result usually equating to a small proportion of the total marks received.

The quality of comments on HN has really started to degrade.

Can we leave these painfully overused sarcastic comments to reddit please? This adds nothing to the discussion. I've been seeing these types of comments more frequently on HN. What's happened to the moderation?

OP obviously meant people should wear a cardigan or jumper to keep themselves warm if they're not already. I swear at least 70% the comments on HN are just lazy straw man arguments and people like me wasting their time to point them out as such.

So don't use Safari then? Seems like a pretty simple solution.

A masters is typically one year full time, two years part time.

Do you have adblockers or did you turn them off for this experiment? I would assume most people on HN have adblockers and other browser ad ons to prevent the malicious tracking that so many companies are hell bent on using. It's an anomaly for me to see any ads on my devices.

This is one thing that really pisses me off about hacker news. The excessive use of abbreviations only hinders communication, it doesn't improve it.

Sorry, but the suggestion that marijuanna use leads to narcissistic personality disorder is absurd.

Purely the first season. Unfortunately, the show has gone down the drain and focuses more on action than interesting philosophical discussions.
