> the authors stated opinion on Karma is terrifying.

Man, people on this site overuse the word "terrifying."



"terrifying"

"stunning"

"I'm not so sure..."

"I'm curious,"

"perhaps"

"arguably"

"How My Startup ____________ (In Other Words, Something That Is Not At All a How-To Article)"


I don't really mind things that are said a lot, especially when they express genuine doubt, rather than people playing devil's advocate or intentionally muddying the waters with far-fetched speculation. My problem is the misuse of the word. "Terrifying" is to HN as "slightly concerning" is to real life.

I do like your list, though.
