Football is a different case from other college sports for one main reason: physical development. Your average NFL squad has players that are much bigger and stronger at every position.

A receiver who is 5'9" has a fighting chance to be successful in many college conferences where there aren't monstrous cornerbacks but absolutely no shot in the NFL where size is a requirement. Undersized and underdeveloped players also risk significant injury by going pro too soon. College players need at least a year or two to build up the physical condition to compete at the next level.

This is the reason why the worst NFL team would easily crush the best college team. The college team just wouldn't be able to handle the size of your average NFL squad.

Hey there, I'm Joey, a Firebase dev — last November, we shipped advanced querying support[0] to address this! You can now use orderByChild(), orderByKey() or orderByPriority() to build a query.

We also have limitToFirst(), limitToLast(), startAt(), endAt(), and equalTo() methods to further filter your data.

This allows you to build queries like this:

  ref.orderByChild("weight").limitToLast(2).on("child_added", function(snapshot) {
    console.log(snapshot.key());
  }); 
Please check out our querying docs[1], and let us know if you have any questions!

They do support code blocks (cmd-6), but unfortunately, they're not styled in any other way (syntax highlighting, etc.) which makes code blocks somewhat unpleasant to read.

The Power of Names 13 years ago

Sure, I agree that there's some contention over this.

It is interesting, however, if you entertain the fact that because there exists a separate word for different types of snow, you may perceive it as a separate entity entirely from another kind of snow rather than a just "snow" with a different modifier out in front.

The difference between Top Gear and this situation though is that the cars they smash up aren't a shared resource. Top Gear smashing up a sweet car doesn't really affect me in any way (in fact, it can be pretty funny).

One might argue that by making changes to the natural landscape as Parker did, he affects the shared resource that is the environment, which some find to be less than totally acceptable.

Speaking of ways in which our language affects the way we define the world around us, here's a list of Eskimo words for snow names (or rather: lexemes, in the article): http://www.princeton.edu/~browning/snow.html

Some would dispute that there exists a similarly diverse taxonomy of ways to classify snow in English, but I'd argue those rules are looser and more subject to interpretation.

Either way, it's really interesting to learn the ways in which the constructs of our language define the way we see the world. Another example of language influencing thought is the way gender assignments of words affect perceptions of their characteristics as masculine, feminine, or neutral.
