> That being said, we can clearly not conclude that 'content is king', right? In my humble opinion, yes, content is not king. But, it's more than just allowing people to put a face…

Something that shouldn't be overlooked is the fact the author is John Graham-Cumming and you are kelvin0. Almost every one in the top 10 leaderboard posts under their real name. Th…

> It ought to be relatively easy. ... Seems like a fairly trivial experiment to run and reproduce. That depends on what you're testing. "Blood test" and "health test" are ridiculou…

That's something that gets overlooked in these discussions of wordpress. Wordpress has the unique ability to use a single install and backend to manage hundreds of sites. If you ne…

> What WP did right is to choose a platform supported EVERYWHERE When WP was created, their options were PHP or Perl. PHP was by far the hottest thing back then, so what they actua…

Considering some of the people I've made wordpress sites for couldn't even figure out the wordpress interface, command line anything is a no go for a large percentage of wordpress'…

I worked briefly for a wordpress consultancy last year. Our main workflow involved using Yeoman, Grunt, NPM, wp (the wordpress command line tool) and vagrant. Locally, we'd run vag…

Please do. That would make for very interesting reading, imho.

Read Rhetoric by Aristotle. You're using what he calls Dialectic (facts and figures) to convince people. Most people either don't care about facts and figures or can't understand t…

Had you been exposed to those concepts at an earlier age, maybe you would have more of an affinity for them. Maybe not. Also, one of the concepts exposed in football is leadership …

You probably learned these lessons elsewhere, but I probably learned it earlier than you did and had it reinforced for 8 years (I started playing flag football when I was 8). The b…

We're talking about playing football, not watching it like a lemming. If you don't know what you're talking about, kindly say nothing.

Nothing I said suggests otherwise. Why the sarcasm and hostility?

I don't understand the hard on people around here have for predicting the collapse of sports. It's like the very idea of getting revenge on the jocks makes you all salivate. Reveng…

It would look like today, sadly. To the extent that fans replace football with another sport (instead of meth or oxy) Yeah, shame.

But I think we'll see the end of high school football very soon, when the lawsuits begin and school insurance steps in. It'll never happen. There's way too much community support f…

Why do you assume he stopped working? He could be working harder than ever, but his productivity dropped. That's one of the cruelties of burnout. It feels like you're working harde…

I went through almost the exact same thing working full time for a consulting company in the USA. The situation was even worse since we had to log so many hours a week due to billi…

I'm not sure why this is making the front page of HN now. It's been around since 2012 and it's predecessor was around for a year or two before that. When they started, they adverti…

I had a slightly different takeaway: who asks a candidate to perform a slideshow presentation at an interview?

This is the point: if there ever was a baby in that bath, it's dead now. Read what Patio11 wrote again and realize his situation isn't an isolated incident. It's the norm. Tell me,…

Journalism is a high-prestige field which, to re-use Michael Creighton's observation, we understand is virtually never right about even the simplest consequential facts about thing…

> I'm less afraid of the police than of my neighbors. I guess that depends on who your neighbors are. If I lived in a city that was 63% black, I'd be more afraid of my neighbors th…
