Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

EDGE (enhanced display for environment)

did not even try

whoops! that was our error! It's actually "Enhanced Display for Grocery Environment" which is at least an acronym. Fixed.

[–] bitofhope@awful.systems 14 points 10 months ago

Still 1/5 acronym.

Word unrelated to displays or groceries
Secondary meaning as a sexual term
Already used by Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution which is itself a mediocre acronym at best
Two of the four non-particle words, "enhanced" and "environment" are meaningless filler only there to make the acronym work.
