As far as I can tell, they aren't making actual CRTs, they're using modern display technology to simulate the appearance.

Someone should make a parody video game called Rouge Trader.

You probably mean Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., not John. JFK Jr. died in 1999, and was not anti-vaccine, as far as I know.

Indeed, typo on my part. Anyway, the conspiracy idiot, in case there was any ambiguity left.

The term soap opera dates to 1938. There’s no way that Rod Serling coined the term.

Half of NPR's revenue comes from payments from stations to run their programs, and most of the rest comes from individuals, businesses, and foundations. Those public radio stations are also mostly funded by listeners and donors.

Also, this isn't relevant anyway, because the article is about a dispute about a particular program that NPR was running.

It's faze, not phase. It's a common mistake.

[0] is a good article about this; not least that this has been happening since at least 1889 (to the point where I'd say we could now probably consider it a valid alternate spelling.)

[0] https://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001166.... (no, I've no idea why they're behind the wrong subdomain certificate)

Because they don't really live on that server any more. The correct URL for the languagelog archives is https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/..., but none of the links will keep you on that domain.

Thanks and fixed. Darn autocorrect.

Title has a typo, should be “liberated”.

Edit: I noticed that the article's page title is also misspelled this way.

I assume it's intentional, playing on "libre" (as in libre software, not just gratis software)

As just the biggest problem with that idea, the typo doesn't exist on the page. It's in the HN title, and the page's HTML <title> tag.

It does exist on the page. It's in the description of the repository below the repository name.

Look again.

You're right that the text you're thinking of used to be in that space, if you mean the "About" blurb.

But you're not right about the page contents. The "About" is github metadata, just like the partial commit message "android: multidevice capabilites and accessiblit..." that you can also find. And just like that message, it was full of typos because it's not public-facing.

But there is an actual page talking about the project, which is what we're all commenting on here, and which never contained the typo.

yup it did- fixed it now. thanks!

Funny, I once called out a typo and got ridiculed and downvoted into oblivion. Seems it goes against HN terms of service or something...

Stop minting the nickel and start minting the half dime again (this time in base metal instead of silver).

The title is misspelled, should be “won't”. Even better, just change it to the actual title, “Why I'd never work for Google, Twitter, or Facebook”.

(Wont is a word in English, but it's not what's meant here.)

maybe @dango can edit the title. I don't have even karma for that & yeah add (2011)
