Hacker News Reader

In this context, it's a common acronym. Maybe you are just not as well read in this area as in others?

Googling CICO on an incognito window are 100% hits for calories-in-calories-out.

That's how I figured it out, but I consider 'this context' to be Hacker News, where 'API' is common, but 'CICO' is not.

Reading the linked article is a prerequisite for discussion of said article. The term is defined in the article.

Highly recommend it by the way.

It's defined in section two, on page seven, and only used three times. I will admit that I only read the introduction and conclusion, as I didn't want to spend two hours reading the 80-page paper.

I see your point, but if you’ve got a question over acronym usage, the right answer is not to ask somebody to do the prerequisite reading for you. You made it seem like it was their failing for using an acronym that you couldn’t be bothered to search for within the article in question.
