alt Hacker News> What? You had a whole thing about rewriting history because the parent said the NYT adopted 40 years ago, then you made a big deal about how it was in 1986 and resurrected in the 80s and talked about rewriting history.
It's simply a fact that the term was revived in the 70s and popularized in the 80s. The person I replied to was trying to imply that was incorrect, by suggesting that the NY Times was some long-time holdout.
The 70s was 50 years ago. You may have been alive then, but that doesn't make it "recent".
Given the magnitude of more recent shifts in language around equity, 50 years is ancient.
