I agree with the article that it does limit your vocabulary. For example, writers (and comedians) play with words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Playing with paragraphs is a lot harder than playing with words. If you take the word and leave only an "equivalent" sentence or paragraph in the toolbox, the experience that can be created with that alone, changes.

There tends to be lot more mental fatigue involved in parsing sentences than there is in picking up a similar meaning from a familiar word. That process of passing meaning from one party to another is what defines an experience. If you miss a joke and someone explains it to you, you may "get it" and at that point understand as it well as the person who "got it" immediately but you would have had totally different experiences.

This topic is related to the question "whether there are prohibitively unthinkable thoughts given a vocabulary". The answer to that is generally shown in no uncertain terms be a strong YES.
Expanding the definition of what is Upper Middle Class is ballooning the Upper Middle Class.
This is why I think the European Union should be more like an actual union. You should be able to subscribe to it, and your membership would grant you a passport, rights and duties. It would solve the whole Brexit issue, because everyone who wanted to remain a member could do so. It wouldn't even be that expensive - we pay about £185/year each at the moment to be in the EU (£13bn/70m people).

Edit: Obviously this is not a fully worked out idea. What I find disappointing is that no one in the news ever even talks about alternatives, even narrow alternatives.
Really? I don't, at least not that I've noticed. Can you give a rough description or something of one of those?

Here's a politically incorrect thought: we don't need to develop Africa.

We shouldn't assume that everyone has to be like us to be happy. We shouldn't try to "civilize the barbarians" - to use a colonial phrase. Let them live as they live and let them develop themselves at their own pace.

Over the next decade, Africa's population is poised to explode. The great wilderness of Africa will all but disappear, and Africa might become just another blob of concrete, mining, and agribusiness. Desirable? Good for the human species? I think not.
It might be a disadvantage to take off uphill, but I believe that it's desirable to take off into a head wind.

The wind generates some of the lift required for take off, and by taking off sooner there is more runway available in case you need to make an emergency landing.
Er, you should revisit what having that much spending power, even via a HELOC, would place one in terms of percentile. Your oil baron suddenly isn't far off since that graph is somewhat exponential.

Most area homeowners I know are driving Civics or Jettas and worrying about property tax assessments, so. The comment was just silly in terms of perspective and was silly to come across in a thread that already discussed privilege (for lack of a better word, I know it's loaded).

A HELOC is a monumentally terrible idea for the situation, by the way.
I think you are underselling the empirical evidence in favor of weak Sapir-Whorf. In the 70ies Rosch did some famous experiments in Papa New Guinea with speakers of a language with impoverished color vocabulary that demonstrated that colors outside the vocabulary remained salient (and were e.g. used to categorize objects).

However since then there has been a fair amount of research that shows effects which go beyond what you would seem to allow above (e.g. hemispherical effects on color discrimination, http://www1.icsi.berkeley.edu/~kay/tics2.pdf has some examples).
A Jewish Lawyer Says to His Rabbi
"I raised my son to be a good Jew. I sent him to Hebrew school.

I made sure he had his Bar Mitzvah when he turned 13 years old.

And NOW.... he's a Christian."

"Funny you should come to me with this," says the Rabbi with a knowing smile, "I too have a son, and I taught him to be a good Jew: to read the Torah and observe the Sabbath.

And now, he is a Christian."

"Well, what did YOU do about it?" Asked the Lawyer.

"I went and told God the whole story....and God said

'FUNNY YOU SHOULD COME TO ME WITH THIS'"

Interesting to see this actually advocated as this is exactly the thing I tell my wife when we solve world problems at the kitchen table.

The Syrian refugee crisis got me thinking. Why on earth should so many people travel so far to get to European style rule and safety. If that is what they want, why could we not provided it where they already are?

The current system of dealing with refugees doesn't scale. There ought to be a way where you can allow in a lot of poor people without bringing severe economic strains on a rich country.

The problem when Syrians come to a rich country in Europe is that so many of their valuable skills can not be utilized even marginally, much due to different traditions, language requirements, procedures etc. However if there was a European enclave in Syria which they could move to, that could function using Syrian language and customs combined with European rule at the top.

Obviously Syrians would not naturally want to be ruled by Europeans but that is what they volunteer to when they move to Europe. A European enclave in Syria would be the same. You don't have to move there, but if you do, you have to accept European rule. The benefit is that, while not democracy it means freedom and rule of law.

Hong Kong was never a democracy but people there had freedom. Freedom and democracy is frequently mixed up, but they are not the same. By Freedom I mean that there is a free press, independent courts which apply the same law to all people, not just for the benefit of the rich and cronies of the rulers.
That's a very American perspective. In the UK a Duke or Earl can be close to broke, but nobles and gentry will always be considered upper class.

In contrast lottery winners, successful plumbers or grocers and other businessmen will almost never become upper class, even if they are independently wealthy.

Per ton-mile, they're far and away the energy- and emissions-cheapest form of bulk transport we have. Someday, we'll pull container ships by high-altitude kite or something, but until then, 50+% thermal efficiencies aren't something to dismiss out of hand.
Aldous huxley describes the idea that our own minds are "island universes" and that the way those we call "geniuses" think is an experience that can be described but never fully communicated, "that there is little or no common ground of memory to serve as a basis for

I'm not so sure it's illogical. It's tough to kick people out of a country that they were born in. While a 3 time armed robber born in the US and released from prison will be back on the streets of the US - ideally he / she would be sent somewhere else.

Immigration is a rare time when a country can choose what people to allow in or not. I would think that a country should be more concerned about its own residents than about residents of other countries. So for example, when the US sees that visitors / immigrants from some other country has on average high rates of unsavory activities - the US is in a position to restrict entry.

In a slightly extreme example: Imagine a country, safe-istan, has almost no crime. But 50% of immigrants / visitors from crime-istan commit crimes when they visit safe-istan. Should safe-istan allow all people from crime-istan unrestricted entry into their country? Or should they have an application / visa program?*

*I actually think this is a pretty realistic situation - visible especially in the Nordic countries and Japan.
> However without colonization, Africa today would in large part still be in the iron age.

I can't let this pass. This is incredibly, crazily racist.

Africa is a vast continent with hundreds of millions of people. There are more middle-class people in Africa than North America, did you know that?
> Just because there's not a one-to-one correspondence between a word in a language and a word in another, does not mean you can't express the same content through a combination of words and sentences.

The article specifically acknowledges and discusses this in the third paragraph. That means that the fact the parent comment is currently the top voted comment means that very few commenters and voters have read even the beginning of the article.
I find it interesting they rate a passport's "power" by where you can go away to, instead of by where you go home to.
> It's to convince them to pollute less.

That's not the goal. What matters is the total amount of pollution, not how much any individual pollutes.
Actually, this suggestion does not even work. Writing trait::method is not equivalent to writing "|x|x.method()". The latter will use method lookup rules, the former requires the programmer to decide which impl. For instance, in the above example, if the type impl'd to_string, that would be the one used, not ToString's implementation. From what I can tell anyways: https://is.gd/E8pdWc

Edit: Also, auto-borrow does not seem to work with this syntax.

This is a common enough pattern that reducing the visual noise will increase clarity.
I have Australia/Tunisia/USA, but I haven't looked up the total number of countries I can enter visa-free. Tunisia gives me visa-free entry to Turkey and a few African countries, but not much else.

I'm looking to emigrate to a European country once I finish my studies in the hopes of getting a 4th passport - anyone know if that's possible in the EU? I know that Sweden, my top choice, only allows dual citizenship. South Korea looks quite attractive given that I'm in the field of electronics, but language looks like a barrier.
They rate passports, not citizenships.
For those who missed the background to this, CloudFlare’s Indian ISP was modifying the response from the upstream server to their proxy servers; Unable to detect this, CloudFlare serves the fake response to users under an authentic SSL certificate for that domain.

An interesting aside: CloudFlare is likely inadvertently exporting Indian censorship to neighboring countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh.
What Bush did in Iraq and Afghanistan was radically different and obviously idiotic. They took over two countries by force and then imposed democracy on countries with no democratic traditions.

The proposed neocolonial plan far less problematic. You are not imposing a rule from the outside, which would naturally cause resentment. You get the country to agree to a voluntarily giving away a chunk of the country with preferably few people.

Then people will have to CHOSE to live and work there by moving there. Nobody there will live under European/American/Japanese or whatever rule without having chosen to do so by moving. We know people are capable of accepting foreign rule if it is voluntarily. People do it all the time when they move to Europe or the US.

It seems to me as a much more attractive option to have people being able to move within their own country to get freedom and prosperity rather than having to move all the way to Europe and America and having to deal with completely different languages and customs.
Amusingly one of these untranslatable words is is in fact both a direct back translation from another language and has actually taken on an entirely different meaning.

"Take the German noun Treppenwitz, which literally means ‘staircase wit’: that all too common phenomenon of a witty rejoinder that comes to mind just after an interaction!"

Only that's not the meaning in German.

I guess you can make it your job to relabel boys kissing girls without asking for permission as rapist and you can also create all kinds of new genders. I heard that there's now 50+ new genders that have been created by this science.

Edit: I feel it is unfair to downvote ddorian43 just for asking what kind of jobs you can have with a degree in Gender Studies. I'm not aware of a Gender Studies industry where customers pay good money for Gender Studies services and products.
Another cliched example is Eskimos and their 300 words for snow, which turns out to be not entirely correct.
I'd argue that Vancouver is exactly the sort of place where OP's market dynamics have broken down.

The real estate market in Vancouver no longer at all - even remotely - represents the present or future expected economic activity in the surrounding area.

One of the core issues with real estate is that in an ideal state they are priced to reflect their surrounding conditions, many (if not most) have had their prices divorced from any foundational economic growth expectations. Real estate becomes priced on a benchmark of other real estate, not underlying industrial or commercial activity.

If Vancouver's real estate pricing reflected the surrounding economy there should be much cause for celebration - per capita income should be rising by several hundred percent, and the city's economy would be growing by double-digit percentages annually for some time to come!
Ask HN: How can I deal with chronic ligament and tendon injuries?
I love physical activities but I seem to get injured very easily.

I played tennis for a bit, now I have tennis elbow.

I did biking for a while, now I have IT band syndrome.

I tried swimming for while thinking it would be safe, now I have shoulder impingement.

I have had these injuries for decades and have gone to countless doctors, done countless hours of physical therapy. nothing helped. I just sit on my couch all day due to these injuries. I know people all over the world are suffering from much worse but this is making me depressed and resentful. What should I do? also, Has anyone tried stem cell therapy?
Sure, but if they even come close to rent on an otherwise comparable home something is deeply wrong.
How did that happen historically? In the blog post they make it sound as if they invented and built the whole concept, while you make it sound like they packaged up some open source software.
To add to this, I'm not even sure who it's racist against other than non-white coloured people. There is more to the African race spectrum than "black".
It should understand human language. Not commands, functions and etc, just plain human language.
At a certain level you are correct. A compiler certainly should not be reordering FP calculations, for instance. However, at the level these abstractions are typically used they are absolutely fine. For example, if you want to add up the number of hits your web site has received you will be absolutely fine to use a 64-bit integer and treat addition as associative. There is no possibility of overflow. Similarly, if you train a machine learning model using gradient descent you can compute your gradients in parallel and then sum them, taking advantage of associativity, and this will work out fine. (See Hogwild! for some proofs that #YOLO is an acceptable strategy for SGD https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~brecht/papers/hogwildTR.pd...)

So, basically, semigroups and other abstractions are a-ok where they are typically used.
Yes, this is correct. It's what I was getting at in the other thread; this is choosing a method manually.
Heh, 99$/month, not worth it for me as a lowly scrub.

Apropos, as I just sold my house and am moving into a 1BR apartment. My plan was to slowly encase myself in machinery and assistants and diffuse outwards.

I have this semi-related vision of mobile furniture locomoting from one apartment to the next, during a move, like something out of Fantasia.
Google does a lot of driving in simulation, using data captured by real vehicles. They log all the raw sensor data on the real vehicles, so they can do a full playback. They do far more miles in simulation than they do in the real world. That's how they debug, and how they regression-test.

For near-misses, disconnects, poor decisions, and accidents, they replay the event in the simulator using the live data, and work on the software until that won't happen again. Analyzing problems which didn't rise to the level of an accident provides far more situations to analyze. They're not limited to just accidents.

See Chris Urmson's talk at SXSW, which has lots of playbacks of situations Google cars have encountered.[1]

True, but for both of them you already might be able to get the proper key through a trusted channel. Fedora has the keyrings for at least Arch, Debian and Ubuntu (besides its own ones, naturally) in its RPM repos, so Fedora users can get them in a secure manner. Debian also has at least the Ubuntu keys included in the repos.

Fedora's own key is also available over HTTPS so you get at least some assurance when bootstrapping.
Yes they're definitely close, but I don't know if there are subtle differences in semantics between what we have in LLVM and what Swift needs (since I'm not familiar with Swift).
There's a lot of misinformation in this.

>A Linux container is a process, usually with its own filesystem attached to it so that its dependencies are isolated from your normal operating system. In the Docker universe we sometimes talk like it's a virtual machine, but fundamentally, it's just a process. Like any process, it can listen on a port (like 30000) and do networking.

A container isn't a process. It's an amalgamation of cgroups and namespaces. A container can have many processes. Hell, use systemd-nspawn on a volume that contains a linux distro and your container is basically the entire userspace of a full system.

>But what do I do if I have another computer on the same network? How does that container know that 10.0.1.104 belongs to a container on my computer?

Well, BGP certainly isn't a hard requirement. Depending on how you've setup your network, if these are in the same subnet and can communicate via layer 2, you don't need any sort of routing.

>To me, this seems pretty nice. It means that you can easily interpret the packets coming in and out of your machine (and, because we love tcpdump, we want to be able to understand our network traffic). I think there are other advantages but I'm not sure what they are.

I'm not sure where the idea that calico/BGP are required to look at network traffic for containers on your machine came from. If there's network traffic on your machine, you can basically always capture it with tcpdump.

> I find reading this networking stuff pretty difficult; more difficult than usual. For example, Docker also has a networking product they released recently. The webpage says they're doing "overlay networking". I don't know what that is, but it seems like you need etcd or consul or zookeeper. So the networking thing involves a distributed key-value store? Why do I need to have a distributed key-value store to do networking? There is probably a talk about this that I can watch but I don't understand it yet.

I think not at all understanding one of the major players in container networking is a good indication it might not yet be time to personally write a blog about container networking. Also absent is simple bridging.

Julia generally writes fantastic blogs, and I know she doesn't claim to be an expert on this subject and includes a disclaimer about how this is likely to be more wrong than usual, but I feel like there was a lot of room for additional research to be done to produce a more accurate article. I understand the blog is mostly about what she has recently learned, and often has lots of questions unanswered... But this one has a lot of things that are answered, incorrectly :(
This is cool and everything but it distracts from the fact the water drag is 2 (maybe 3?) of orders of magnitude larger than air drag. It might have been a better investment to install vortex generators on the hull (these work like the dimples in golfballs to reduce the vacuum formed behind the moving body). I may be wrong about this, for example if laminar flow is better in an incompressible fluid.

Without saying where they live that's meaningless. In San Francisco they are not even upper middle class, if at all, and they will be struggling even with their 150k. But even in cheaper areas, 150k to me is middle class.

The problem is that wealth/income is not normally distributed! It is heavily - heavily! - skewed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM

I would not worry about any family with <250k annual income when thinking about "what do we do about the uneven distribution of income", I would let those people be. They are not the problem. Look at the top 0.01% (see http://www.economist.com/news/finance-and-economics/21631129...).
The losses from that would probably still be a lot lower than the development aid wasted today. Anyway the locals might actually want to defend their city as they might recent their countries corrupt dictator more than a benevolent foreign power.

It always comes down to negotiation power. To my knowledge, the (incoming) visa requirements should be identical for all countries of the Schengen zone though, as there is freedom of movement inside so having different entry requirements for each country wouldn't make much sense.

UPDATE:

Just did a quick check on this (as it's a curious question) and it seems to be the case:

http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/entry-exit/non-e...

"If your visa is from a "Schengen area" country, it automatically allows you to travel to the other Schengen countries as well."
Usually it makes sense to put the deck house right on top of the engine room. Less wasted cargo space, think funnels, cargo hatches etc. Also, the engine room people appreciate being able to get to their sleeping quarters and the canteen with dry shoes.

Further, putting the engine room as far towards the aft as possible also makes sense, shorter and cheaper propshaft and less cargo space wasted for it either.
I first, somehow, misread the title, and changed "Swift type" for "Swype". Made me wonder how an Android keyboard would be affected by an exponential time complexity algorithm and why would it be a big deal.

Everything makes much more sense now.
I'd be happy to be corrected, but I think this applied to the Fedora keys?
Crystalis absolutely has a save/continue system. You can see some guy demonstrating the save system in crystalis in this video, complete with save functionality: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73za3LHWzwk

From the paper: "Therefore, at least for fatalities and injuries, test-driving alone cannot provide sufficient evidence for demonstrating autonomous vehicle safety."

Note that the number of crashes per 100 million miles is a lot bigger than the number of injuries. One would hope a statement about safety would look at all of the data.
