pontificate

Do any of you, so ready to pontificate, have proof this is a valid attack? ]

Hell, HN is full of people who I'd guess are in the 90+ percentile and most of what we do here is pontificate and build chat apps so people can share pictures of their cats.

It's very easy for a wealthy VC to sit on a stage and pontificate like this. Not everyone has opportunities in front of them to work on a project they believe in and make enough money to pay the bills with it.

If you are professional orator, you will eventually get to the point where you can pontificate the same speech verbatim without a single note. But for the rest of us, a note card of bullet-point topics can keep us on track.

It's fair to pontificate on, but to try and tie it as the next stage from people getting angry over rising real estate prices is incredibly alarmist.

When this problem was novel to me I used to pontificate about the best packing configuration and create a detailed plan. When unpacking I would find some things wouldnt fit and others would have too much space so the plan needed to be revised.

They like the prestige and the money, along with the platform to pontificate, which they are so used to having by now. Then you realize why associate professors are so desperate for tenure, and by that time, it's really too late to change careers.

But if you're really using seriously, why pontificate about it. Since many are pontificating against it, I think people deserve to be exposed to counter arguments.

If you know nothing about football, either watch enough that you can pontificate about the off-side rule, or go back to talking about the weather. If you're in London, you can often substitute complaining about public transport for the weather or football.

Let's not be petty; it's reasonable to take his post at face-value and assume that he just wanted to pontificate about something that interested him.

Yelp is where people go to get recommendations and people with unrealistic expectations are given a soap box to pontificate. I'm not saying every negative review is uncalled for, but I can't count the number of times I've heard someone say, "Fine, I'll write about this on Yelp."

Why do people think that computer science gives them the authority to pontificate on any topic of their choosing? Clearly the author has no idea what they are talking about, as by their own admission, "I’ve only taken 1 metaphysics class" and has a "suspicion" about the entire field.

Who is more likely to give you more lucid answers to problems with big data, having even touched a NoSQL database and pontificate on the advantages/drawbacks of that vs. relational?

Substantiate each one of these points and conclude using all this data that the influence of Techcrunch may not be what is once was, then pontificate what the future may hold. Writing a proper story would require effort - it is a lot easier to take a screenshot from compete, call somebody a dick, submit it to HN and appeal to the masses.

So while I'm pulling in a 6-figure salary, have insane perks at the office, flexible hours, live in an amazing city, and have the money and time to pursue my dreams, I'm not going to stand on a soapbox and pontificate to everyone how, if they had only followed their passion, they could be happy too. The reality is that we are the lucky few.

Yet another Dorian Nakamoto moment for the mainstream media.

Choice and options in all syntaxes is good, along with opinions and preferences that pontificate that every framework is somehow an advantage when MVC, generally is MVC. All of this points to the fact that customers don't care what you code in as long as you don't have to re-code it because the cement will harden in a few years. Universally, what gets put off now, waits for me later in some form of tech debt, something worth considering in any language and framework.

I disagree - when it comes to drug policy, politicians always pontificate about enforcing bans & leaving them in place, which in the US originate strongly with Protestantism & believing that austerity is the solution to various vices seen in society. The Prohibition era is a perfect example of that, and that attitude has never left US politics, which is fraught with religion driving political agenda.
