There seem to be a couple of different questions and concerns in this post that have been confused (the first step: clarify the question). One seems to be the question of why we study old philosophers in the first place (1), another is the question why we study them in their original language (2). The most discernible answer the author proposes, to the first question at least, is that reading old philosophers is a way of learning about the methodologies employed by a philosopher. My brief response...

(2) The original text is the original data. The first task is to understand what exactly it is that a philosopher said. Nailing that down can itself be the subject of debate. As multilingual people who've used more than one language in the course of intellectual work know, translation is often an approximation of the original text. Language is bound up with culture and what words denote, their connotations, their significance, etc, aren't always translatable in a straightforward fashion. By comprehending the language, we have a better grasp of the content the philosopher was trying to communicate to us. That doesn't mean good translations can't exist, but that, too, can be the subject of debate. From there, we have all manner of commentary which begins a tradition and can spin off into still other traditions. Science operates in essentially the same way. There is a scientific tradition with important figures that have initiated fruitful traditions themselves and who are likewise inheritors of still older traditions. Some traditions fade for a number of reasons. Understanding both the commentary and the original text can clarify things better than understanding just one of the two. Your understanding becomes more perfect.

(1) The notion that philosophical theories at time T+1 are necessarily better than those at time T is an appeal to novelty, i.e., a fallacy. Theories fall out of favor not necessarily because whatever takes their place, so to speak, is more formidable. That kind of progress isn't a given nor is it that straightforward. For example, that Cartesianism and its fallout has dominated a good chunk of western thought for the last few centuries does not mean that the Aristotelianism it "replaced" was inferior.

In response to the proposal that we read Aristotle to absorb his methodology, I'd like to answer in the context of what I wrote above. The methodologies he uses are communicated through the tradition and numerous commentaries have been written on the methodologies Aristotle employes (they vary depending on the subject matter he is attending to). However, it is a mistake to think that that is the only thing Aristotle offers. Aristotle's methodology, after all, is a means to the truth. Philosophy is a theoretical endeavor where "theoretical" means it is done to know things for their own sake.
> Cannabis, even at a very "strong dose," will cause none of this.

It's ridiculous to compare cannabis to heroin, but it's still worth pointing out that giving a strong dose to someone who is 9 is a very bad idea that would probably be very unpleasant for the kid. There can be a tendency for people to overcompensate to "reefer madness" propaganda and tell people there are no issues with marijuana. It's probably a lot better than alcohol, but it's still a psychoactive substance that needs to be treated with respect.

Fortunately, the mother in this article seems to realize that and has put in a lot of effort into proper dosing:

>After the cookies finished baking, I’d taste a few crumbs and annotate the effects in a notebook. Often, I felt woozy. One variation put me to sleep. When I had convinced myself that a batch was okay, I’d give a cookie to my 9-year-old son.
Kinda.. it didn't turn out so well. Leaving soon :/
I'd recommend a classical treatment of presocratic philosophy. I'm watching the Heraclitus episode and he completely misrepresents him. The sparseness of fragments that remain make it very easy to read into them what you like, and that is exactly what happens here.

And without the hysteria about cannabis we might have more double blind studies to find out.
Ok that accounts for maybe 150,000. Staggeringly high. But I still call Hyperbole on 'millions'
The point, though, as I take it, is, would you be satisfied if someone took the time to isolate and synthesize the active ingredients in weed and made those available in prescription form?
It definitely has, both for me personally and in my observation. The classic example is Google Keep. It was launched during while Google was killing off a number of other products and services. I don't know of any person who uses Google Keep for notes or to-do lists (of course, it helps that there are literally hundreds of other services that have superior functionality).

> The pervasive modern belief is that philosophy is mostly meaningless word-games that can be dismissed, and science should be the basis of everything. But collecting more observations of reality does not help answer these questions. Furthermore, without knowledge of the implications of certain answers, you easily wind up advocating positions that don't actually hold up. (E.g., many people think neuroscience has disproved the existence of consciousness, when all it has proved is that consciousness is closely related to the brain).

One thing I will add to your commentary on science and philosophy is that more recently (the last 30-50 years, especially), several sub-fields of evolutionary biology like evolutionary psychology and sociobiology have begun to fundamentally unlock new ideas about why humans behave in ways they do and why and how we created many aspects of our culture, philosophy, and sense of being (consciousness included). This overlaps significantly with what philosophers have been discussing for millennia, but now we have many more scientific tools to help understand some fundamental questions. These are complementary disciplines for understanding our existence.
The 'assignability rules' of TS catches type-errors in a way that 'solves' all the problems JS ever had. You can critique the nature of that solution if you want (after all, there are an infinite number of solutions in the solution-set), but I think it's a perfect solution.

Give any good developer TS to code in, and he'll know how to use it to check every type in every variable, class, or method parameter, and the checking will be 100% perfectly reliable. That's what I mean by "problem solved".
On the other hand, marijuana has been used to treat those symptoms. It may be your friend had some other problem that was being masked by the prolonged marijuana use.

Or one of the other many reasons why there can be correlation without causation.

Not sure if I agree with the contention that old philosophical arguments don't get less correct over time. Look at logical positivism. I don't think anyone believes that there is a clean divide between positive and synthetic statements anymore.

> polyfills are a temporary solution until browser support is available everywhere

Well, you might be waiting a while! Web components are actually four separate specs. While templates are widely supported, the future for custom elements, shadow DOM and HTML imports is less clear (well it's very clear for HTML imports — it ain't gonna happen). Edge is 'considering' whether to implement shadow DOM and custom elements, Firefox says they're 'in development' but from the outside it looks like that development has stalled.

Even if web components had major advantages that outweighed their disadvantages, personally I'd be very hesitant to use them until browser vendors make their intent to support them much clearer.

> The United States always needs an enemy. Hitler, communism, Russia, Viet Cong, acid rain, drugs, them...

Not really "the US" per se, but the lobbies behind politics (the police likes the war on drugs because they get massive federal grants for it, and equipment resellers are happy to oblige - and where there is big money, there are influencers to make sure politicians go a certain way) in order to thrive.

Add to that that the public opinion is pretty much against drugs in America, and it's fairly straightforward for politicians to double-down on that kind of topic and enforce rigidity.
Usually just specifying a reasonable blocksize works for me. bs=1m or so.

Without that it does literally take hours.

I suspect the default blocksize is really small (1?) and combined with uncached/unbuffered writes to slower devices, it just kills all performance outright.

I think the problem hovers around the idea of first class ness. In Clojure, I can use a function like '<' as a key in a hashmap. In Python, I can't. Because '<' isn't a function, it's an operator in Python. First classedness has to do with non-complectedness. Python has operators and statements in addition to expressions. Clojure, because it's a Lisp, gets by with just expressions.
Folks are still thinking about the problems of yesterday. Yes, overseas factories 'lost' a lot of jobs (actually employment worldwide went up). But today its automation baby. Explosive automation. Factories come back from overseas, but nobody is in these new factories.

Its growing geometrically. In shockingly fewer years than we think, there will be essentially no 'labor' jobs left. America will never again employ labor; its an obsolete idea. Our civilization is leaping forward, and we should plan on a humane response.
We need a robust testing system to reduce bugs, improve performance and do some recommendation where code quality can be simplify or better security. I believe not many community can affordable the time to write testing, even expertise skived and problem appear at compile time.
This. It is incredibly irresponsible to run the equivalent of clinical trials on your child. She pointed out a single medical study of cannabis for children that was a bust. Clinical trials are highly controlled and dosage is tiered for safety. Cowboy drug trials are dangerous and stupid. I don't care if it's cannabis, crack or aspirin. And she tested the cookies on herself to see if they were ok? Did she realize she was giving her child the equivalent of multiple times the dose?

I hope for her sake and her sons the long term effects on children are ok and that she isn't giving 10x the required therapeutic dose because she whipped it up in her kitchen.
Yes, "interactive SSH works but I can't scp files" is also a common diagnostic for broken MTU setting/discovery.
Sure, what you say is true but that's not the question she raises. Yours is simply a functional question. A very useful question, but not an insightful one.

To reframe her question with your example, she's asking: "Everyone says I should learn to write French to talk to French people. But the French froze their spelling in the 17th century, while languages like English and German have modernized their spelling. Why should the French be different?"

That is an interesting question. Hers is also: why is philosophy treated differently from, say, Physics in this regard?
That is a lot better, thanks. hh-aws is unmaintained and only supports a tiny, tiny fraction of AWS.
I want to echo, in agreement, with the many people here who are saying that there will likely be protests, but not against automation itself. Present evidence suggests that it is true.

However I want to push back against the idea that current protests against, for example, lack of manufacturing jobs are totally misdirected or will be in the future (if they are not against automation). While I think blaming NAFTA and outsourcing for a loss of jobs is ridiculous at least people are recognizing that the problems are structural and public rather than technological.

What would protesting automation even look like? Stop the machines? The last movement to do that was small, ineffectual, and was perceived to be ridiculous.

Some kind of safety net or redistribution of wealth is needed in my opinion. The classic response to redistribution is to say that it's paternalistic, but if automation doesn't make up for the jobs it destroys what are the alternatives?

If modern civilization survives climate change ours and the next few generations are going to be judged with a very heavy hand and rightly so. There is no dearth of knowledge or critique in our culture, but there is an exceptional amount of inaction and passivity.

One of several reasons I left my first job out of college is that the boss made me remove the ability to cancel a subscription from our web application. I thought it was pure jackassery to make people call and then try to wheel and deal to keep them on, but it did make a surprisingly real difference to the bottom line.

No doubt something similar is at play with Adobe. Personally, I'm not sure I'd be opposed to a law or regulation of some kind that any subscription you can sign up for from a website you can also cancel from the website.

The whole "let's make it hard to cancel" play is so slimy.

> Of course there is no reason to put pot smokers in jail - but this antagonism about the 'war on drugs' is very naive, unsympathetic, and dangerous.

The part of this sentence after the hyphen is where you're fundamentally wrong. You listed a lot of sad facts and stories about drug abuse, but those do not constitute a defense of the war on drugs. It's naive to excuse the war on drugs simply because some drugs cause horrible effects for some people.
But I think your explanation sort of highlights why promises of "safe nuclear design", at least in my opinion, have a tendency to be overstated by nuclear proponents, and then result in a complete backlash against nuclear when things go wrong.
Fukushima was a Level 7 disaster, on par with Chernobyl, that will result in large swaths of Japan being uninhabitable for lifetimes. Trying to make a distinction that it wasn't really that bad only makes your average Joe discount any assurances that "passive safe" is safe at all.

Damn that hurts my brain to read, and in hindsight, I have to agree. The n900's open platform built on debian, functional resistive touch and a hardware keyboard should have gained traction.

Thank you for your commentary, allover. You do bring up a good point, I think. It does address a slightly different issue than I wanted to bring up though.

Consider this: I can still use Delphi to make Windows apps too, but where am I going to find a job? Being able to use an old tool isn't my point. My point is that while you may still be using Express.js where you work, there are many other Javascript companies who aren't using it anymore. They've moved on. Even the Express.js developers have moved on to something else (Koa), so by mastering Express.js, you sort of paint yourself into a corner in your career. You most likely won't show up on recruiting radars, since you don't have the latest JS buzzwords on your résumé, and if you try to go get another Express.js job on your own, you'll have a more difficult time of it. The high turnover rate of JS frameworks works to your detriment, I would think, because it is more difficult to keep up with all the moving targets.

If JS programmers don't see their framework-du-jour culture as a problem, then by all means, keep doing it. I just think you'd be better off, and attract more developers, if you congregated around the best framework or two out there, and worked to make them the best they can be, instead of re-inventing the wheel every other day. I'm simply bringing it up as a point to consider for making the JS community more stable and cohesive, and worthy of personal investment. I know this fly-by-night aspect of the Javascript community is one of the reasons I don't bother with server-side JS. I know a lot of other developers in my area who feel the same way.

Just something to consider...
It will for sure not be pleasant, but the kid would be back to normal in a day or so. It's not "probably a lot better than alcohol", it is empirically a lot better than alcohol. The amount of alcohol found in an average home could kill a 9 year old a few times over if consumed, the same can not be said for any amount of cannabis.
"Almost all of the drug users I know are highly motivated and very successful people. "

It's definitely selection bias.

I too lived in an urban/cool area with 'pro' drug users and (mostly) never saw a problem, though there was one accidental OD in my circle.

But get out into the real world, working class areas where meth and crack in particular have laid waste - it's another story.

Rural areas, working class areas, ghettos - another story - and I think they represent the 'majority' of users by far.

In fact - I think that this bias is the #1 contributor to the misinformation about 'the war on drugs'.
That would be an interesting study, but it's not relevant to the discussion of the war on drugs. The comparison you'd need to make it how those people you know would be doing if they were in prison for using illegal drugs. I'd wager they'd be doing worse.

Chernobyl occurred prior to the warming in relations that resulted from Gorbachev's reforms, so it is understandable that the Soviets perceived a significant threat from admitting the accident occurred. Unlike Fukushima, Chernobyl slowly released radioactivity for days due to the fire. Initial Soviet assessments of the accident severity were optimistic. I'm not saying that they were right in delaying, but the fire was still burning and the atmospheric release ongoing when they publicly revealed it.
