alt Hacker NewsI can think of the following:
(1) Translation from one language into another
(2) Transcription from one medium (audio) into another (text)
(3) Deception to obfuscate your thoughts
(4) Posting things like "First!", "This.", "Just google it.", etc.
(5) Textbook answers with no original thought.
> Translation from one language into another
Bad example, because translation is deeply creative. You can't blindly mill one language into another, because words and phrases and concepts and cultural references in one language frequently don't map 1:1. You have to find a way to convey meaning as closely as you can and not necessarily the words.
