Internet

Laws

• Cunningham's Law - The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.
• Godwin's law - As an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison to Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches 1.
• Postel's law - Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept.
• Hyrum's law - With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.

Stats

• Spurious Correlations - Correlation does not imply causation.

YouTube
