I think you should learn a handful of grammar rules right up front.

Obviously,
* Desu/deshita/de arimasen/de arimasen deshita
* Masu/masen/mashita/masen deshita

Then add a few more
* if
* while
* want to <verb>
* passive
* honorific
* etc.

You can learn one a week or one a month. There aren't very many to learn. But having just four or five up your sleeve (in addition to verb conjugation) can really improve your comfort.
> Are centralized wealth redistribution programs really what rural America needs?

Moving to where there is economic activity is what many rural Americans need; identifying the fruitful places for that for one's individual circumstances and executing the moves, however, is harder to do when you can't meet subsistence needs, and sometimes people are going to need retraining to have new opportunities, or simply be past the point of having new opportunities, requiring additional individual support.
According to Bloomberg, Musk sold 250 million dollars worth of Tesla shares and emitted 750 million dollars in convertible debt. That's not exactly the same as borrowing 1.2 billion dollars.

40 Of The Smartest Entrepreneurs Alive Were Set To Answer The Most Critical Question In Digital Marketing…

What’s Really Working, Right Now?

We’re Smuggling Out 7, 8 And 9 Figure Insider Secrets That Were Never Meant For The Light Of Day! We’re working in an era of rapid change. Media platforms - marketing strategies - even the culture in most major industries is in a constant state of revolution. Snapchat launched in 2011. Now it has 301 million monthly active users. Disruption is the new name of the game. If you’re not ahead of the curve - you’re getting crushed under it.

Daymond John, the CEO of FUBU said that. For a long time it was true. Inventing new ways to do business was risky, and expensive. You were better off copying what already worked. Now? You don’t have that luxury. What worked last year might be broken today. What worked five years ago has become totally obsolete.

That’s why Mark Zuckerberg has said, “In a world that’s changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”

I'll leave this here as a consolation for you:

Chuck Berry teaching Keith Richards the lick in "O Carol"[1]. Keith had probably 40 plus years experience at that point and still didn't get it right the first time, and not the second and third...

Filipino is really similar in terms of the use of particles/markers! For example, to say: "The cat is eating the fish", we say: "Kumakain ng isda ang pusa". The verb (is eating, kumakain) always comes first. The subject (cat, pusa) is identified by the "ang" marker, while the object (fish, isda) is identified by the "ng" marker. We could also say "Kumakain ang pusa ng isda", although that's rarely used.

The "-um-" affix in "kumakain" makes the verb active ("is eating"). If we instead used the "-in-" affix (as in "kinakain"), it would make the verb passive ("is being eaten by"). So we could alternatively say: "Kinakain ng pusa ang isda" to mean: "The fish is being eaten by the cat".

After hopping back and forth between Windows and Linux for 6-12 months at a time for a many years, I've realized that I spend at least as much time dorking around with Windows and related software after a clean install as with desktop Linux distros. Still I keep hopping, because both worlds get too frustrating after a while.

Out of the box, Ubuntu & friends (which have improved a lot in 6 years) are far more functional than Windows, assuming the hardware is properly detected and configured. When something goes askew, it's a toss-up whether it will be easier to fix on Windows or Linux. Familiarity/experience play a huge role here.
Which advertising preferences in Windows have you seen with this?
This article does a great job at presenting a gist of the Japanese sentence structure. Nevertheless, it makes me want to point out that it's not the whole story. If you take into account topics such as modality and conjugation, some of the information you add to a verb is placed after the verb and cannot be freely reordered.

Japanese verbs are "greater" than English verbs in the sense that you conjugate/suffixate a verb to express negation, conjunctions, conditional forms etc, making it longer and longer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_verb_conjugation

In contrast, English has a relatively simple set of inflections of verbs. Many of those Japanese verb forms and suffixated long verbs are translated into multi-word phrases. Compare:

Anata wa kyou nemuru. (You sleep today.) -- verb is in normal form ("nemuru")

Anata wa kinou nemurenakatta. (You were not able to sleep yesterday.) -- verb is in continuative form ("nemuru"→"nemu") + possibility suffix ("reru"→"re") + negation suffix ("nai"→"naka") + past suffix ("ta"→"tta")

Just as you're piggybacking on the countless cash and man-hours that humanity spent developing computing and network tech, as well as literacy programs, just to post comments online.

If you feel your posts are your own work in spite of all the piggybacking you do to post them, do give Musk some credit for actually doing the work no one ever did.
Not sure what stops you from searching for something. All stores have good search functions. What other discoverability do you need? All of the above is again completely orthogonal to streaming or not streaming.

While I feel better when Google acquired FB, I still would like the ability to switch away from FireBase (costs, China firewall, etc). I couldn't find something like a 'database abstraction layer' I had with SQL. Thought about writing a store-FireBase interface, then I discovered GraphQL & GraphQL cloud dbs....

FireBase's analytics are very strong though, would be on top of list if I wanted to do something outside GraphQL again.
As one of those people: I've used Linux for quite a while in the past but switched to windows since windows 10 came out.

As someone else in this thread pointed out, I've only seen the Candy crush ad once, that's all.

With bash on Ubuntu on windows, great hyperv based docker and the windows system I'm just much more flexible. I have an the advantages of Linux with WSL (windows subsystem for Linux) and at the same time I don't have to spend time on getting my computer to work.

Whenever I see someone presenting using Linux, they have to spend like 10 minutes configuring their beamer. I'm just connected, with great scaling handling and ready to go.

Additionally, I have a surface pro 4, so whenever I want I can just start sketching on it (great for a programmer).

Stop judging people by the technology they use, because maybe you're the one being fixated.

EDIT: Oh, and PowerShell is actually a nice to use terminal.

> Common sense would say that if you give someone money or vouchers, they would be immediately materially better off to the extent that you gave them money. I don't dispute that. Common sense also traditionally held that any public charity needed to be coupled with discipline and oversight to prevent a worsening of social ills.

Your definition of "common sense" is strange. You use commonsense and go straight into an elaborate concept.

Also your statement of failure of section 8 is without substance or source.

So I had to google it up.

You also don't provide evidence at all on either side.

You present your side of argument without any evidence and went on opinion. No sources.

Wait, I'm already in the first paragraph and I had to bail out. How on earth did they arrive at a figure of "30 million editors"? The number of active English Wikipedia editors is more in the ballpark of 30K according to http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/graphs/active_editors. The Daily Mail is only confirming why they were discouraged from being used as a source. Some really basic fact checking should have raised suspicion at such a ridiculous number.
Absolutely! You're not going to get anywhere in any language with only either grammar or vocabulary.
>An entity with many disparate aims needs a complex world like our own to fulfill those aims, so is going to maintain the world in its current complexity

I can buy the "complex world" part but not the "like our own" part. I do not believe a complex world implies humanity is unharmed, we have a complex world as it is and humans are harmed and brutalized every day. It could be that and worse at the hands of an AI.

Moreover, humanity is just one species on this planet and so far we appear to be responsible for the greatest worldwide extinction since K-T. One could argue that a complexity loving AI would see benefit in a downsized human presence on earth.

I think it's wishful thinking to believe the only kind of SI that would come into existence would be one that would not harm humanity.

The SI could create its own complexity, its own culture, its own societies that would make ours look like ant colonies in comparison. Does a city government check the ground for ants before it designates 20 square miles for housing development?

An SI is to us as we are to ants. I think ants are super cool and I have a vague sense of the importance they play in the biological ecosystem, but their individual life and death does not play a significant role in my actions. Maybe it should, or maybe you hope that we will be more significant than ants to an SI, but I think that hope is unfounded.

a bit off topic. NVIDIA driver for mac is kind of suck. the bug, which showing a transparent window whenever you try to open an epub file with ibook.app, is been there for a very long time, and still no fix yet.
Well, to be clear, particles and pronouns are very different things. (In fact, Japanese pronouns basically just act like nouns, from a grammatical perspective.)

Japanese is a so-called "pro-drop" language, which means it's normal to omit pronouns completely when they can be inferred. "Watashi wa tabemasu" would only be used for specific emphasis, as in: "I specifically (as opposed to somebody else you were just talking about) am eating." In any other context, it sounds unnatural, and you would just say "tabemasu" even in formal situations.

Separately, you can omit particles in colloquial speech when they're obvious. So for instance, in a polite setting you might ask "ashita wa, nani wo shimasu ka?" (meaning "what are you doing tomorrow?") But in a casual environment, you could say "ashita, nani suru?" and still be understood perfectly.

I like that except that when learning something it's hard to know in advance how many days it will take. Instead, you could substitute key pieces of functionality for days.
I always thought this on Windows-- the Linux subsystem is weak and I won't be happy with it until Windows is developed on a UNIX kernel, i.e., never. So then I switch to some distro with Gnome3 because it's cool and that's where the problems start.

HiDPI support has been garbage for at least 2 years. I'll get scaling and resolutions right for my XPS13 QHD, and then I'll plug in a 1080 monitor and it goes back to looking like crap. The sound goes out unless I cold boot twice. Then I need to use Wine to run Photoshop in a barely legible font size because hidpi scaling won't work. God help you if you want to manually configure your display manager, as you'll end up with an unusable display and hours of SO on your hands.

That's not to mention the ton of visual and "feel" issues behind using even Pantheon/eOS, which feels like a fork of OS 10.5.

I recently built my own hackintosh and am quite happy with it. I do all my work on the Mac with integrated graphics (don't need a GPU, which is great because the Nvidia web drivers are indeed terrible) and switch to Windows for games. Couldn't be more pleased.
Last year, i saw the videos by 3Blue1Brown and inspired by it went on to read some of the standard text books like linear algebra application by Strang. I had seen the Strang videos earlier but somehow did not follow it through. This time however my perspective was changed. I was approaching the subject through the lens of intuition and simplicity. Wherever i found something challenging, i waited for the next day to again re-do it (because i know that this should not be that complex to understand or the understanding is wrong). And to my surprise, again and again, the difficulty was in my rigidness in understanding. The next day , or even later during the day, when my mind was fresh again, i can reason through the concept and get the intuition behind it.

Since then i have seen the Strang videos again and again. Beginning to end. Read the book chapter by chapter and exercises by exercise. And what a delight it had been. And then i jumped upon Joe Blitzstein's probability lectures. What a blast ! Is there a list of teachers like these there, who in the pretext of teaching algebra/probability etc are in reality wiring up our thinking process in ways immaterial to subject they are teaching. Many of us don't want the material to be too casual/layman terms (which hampers self understanding as its no challenging anything within us) and not too rigid (where we cannot break through the challenge).
What if your personal website hosted some dynamic content where an uncaptioned sound bite appeared, and you ended up being faced with legal action?

Then I'd have to take the content off my website or use a service that automatically captioned it. To suggest anything else is to say that my website is more important than the accessibility of the internet to disabled users, which is nearly nonsense. A personal website is utterly trivial in comparison.

Businesses will very often do the minimum possible work to make money, which leaves anyone who can't access content due to their disability having to pay more than people without disabilities or it leaves them completely shut out of the service just because the business doesn't want to pay to make their service accessible. That's clearly and obviously not fair, and not something I want to happen in the society I live in, if only because I realise that I might have an accident one day that leaves me disabled and be in the position that disabled people are in now.
The grammar perhaps, but then you get to the writing system :)

Meanwhile over in Korean, the writing system was designed from scratch to be very simple (I'm led to believe - I don't know any Korean)
About the linked study, it's important to emphasize that it's retrospective -- it tracks the behavior of people who applied for and received opioid prescriptions. This means the stated results may not apply to a person not inclined to use opioids.

A hypothetical prospective study, obviously impractical on multiple grounds -- one that chooses study subjects from the population at random -- might produce a completely different result.

Or the outcome might be the same -- for ethical reasons that deserve to exist, we may never know.
Wasn't he hired by Khan Academy recently? It's great if that helps a wider audience to benefit from his work.
In general, you can drop everything except the jitsugo (verb or adjective most usually) if the other bits can be inferred.

eg: Taberu (eat) or Hayai (fast)

Well, I think we should calm down from the paranoia a little bit. Nobody has ever proven any actual spying on windows 10 (it's actually a very secure system)

What everybody's talking about are metrics. Anonymous usage metrics. And trust me, as a user and programmer I know of no company that doesn't collect metrics like that. It's totally common.

Between, as far as I know, from the next update "creators" (this or next month) you can actually turn them off too.
I never had the pleasure of taking them myself, butI'm pretty sure Japanese grammar classes are not so fun as you imagine.

Putting aside that the norm in Japanese school is rote memorization and pedantic attention to details (e.g. you'd memorize dates of historical events), the Japanese grammar that is taught in class is traditional Japanese grammar. It's pretty streamlined compared to the abomination that is medieval Latin grammar (which remains the basis for English grammar taught in class), but it still targets Classical Japanese and uses rather obscure terms where clear diagrams would suffice.

I'll have to ask, but I think that instead of diagrams, Japanese students mainly need to memorize the difference between Izenkei, Mizenkei, Renyoukei, Rentaikei and Shuushikei, even though the last one is irrelevant for modern Japanese.

And of course Japanese wasn't "designed" any more than English was. There are dialects with widely varying grammar and vocabulary, and there some aspects which are very hard to learn even if you ignore the writing system (e.g. the proper use of Wa vs Ga, the proper use of emphatic sentence endings like no/n'da or yo). Inflection is way more regular than English, and syntax is pretty streamlined, which is a boon.
Here's the actual study, rather than a summary of it: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/66/wr/mm6610a1.htm

Here's what it says about adjusting for pain intensity:

> Third, information on pain intensity or duration were not available, and the etiology of pain, which might influence the duration of opioid use, was not considered in the analysis.

> I don't really see a need to glorify this in the local news. He's just a man who can buy time to proselytize very cheaply. To me, the fact that he exists is a signal that our existing social safety nets are insufficient to set folks up with clean clothes, let alone get them into housing.

Ok that's true, but what's the economic return on proselytizing?

I'll take a free mug from a vendor at a software booth, why should laundry from a religious guy be any different?

Taxes to fund direct cash transfers and housing subsidies are being cut by a government run by zero sum pessimists. How is this guy involved in that?

Yes, that is also my concern. I hope Matt will share his experience here.
Yeah but a few examples of common things that I can do with a UI with windows but had to edit text files and figure out the syntax in linux:

- Setting up a scheduled job

- Manipulate the firewall (I don't include third party packages as "UI")

- Configuring a website

- Changing permissions on a .py file to execute it

I also had huge problems a few years ago when the only Linux servers I could rent from OVH had no UI, and I didn't manage to figure out how to install the UI from a command line.

I'll need to get into Linux. But I find it to be hard work (for someone who does that as a hobby).
> An investigation by this paper has revealed how Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as a source after just 53 out of its 30 million editors voted to do so. Their spurious argument was that the Mail could not be trusted to be accurate. But — as the internet’s inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee says online ‘fake news’ must be tackled — what about the accuracy of information on Wikipedia? Here, two writers describe their Kafkaesque experiences when they found their entries were littered with mistakes . . .

From reading the first paragraph all I can think of is "am I going to learn anything from reading this article, because it looks like a basic retaliation tantrum."

Just by skimming:

>"Kafkaesque experiences," "tantamount to making a Faustian pact with Fame," " obscure ancillary page called ‘revision history statistics,'" "being plunged into a disturbing world similar to the one conjured up by Kafka in his novels about the oppression of the human spirit by sinister, powerful forces."

Emotional hyperbole, conceit, and superfluity. This reads like an opinion piece, and if it's any bit a representation of the larger DailyMail publication, I can understand why it was banned from being a source.

Laws single out particular people based on preferences all the time, if you define "we won't subsidize/will penalize your choices" as "single out".

Some people prefer to marry men, they can't get singled out. Some prefer to rent a home rather than buy, they do get singled out. Others prefer no health insurance, they also get singled out. Or as it relates to gay marriage, people who prefer to be single get singled out.

The text pretty clearly says you can't pass a law "no voting if you have gay preferences". That's very different from requiring legal privileges for gay relationships.
You have to show her the videos from 3Blue1Brown. They're so good
For me, the problem is fear. A decade or so back, I badly broke my arm in a mountain biking crash. The event itself barely hurt at all, but the muscles around the broken arm all tensed up, and after several hours were extremely painful. The hospital gave me morphine.

As far as I could tell, the morphine did nothing. I remained in significant pain for a few hours while I awaited treatment.

It's impossible for me to say why. Is morphine just ineffective for that sort of pain? Or was I underdosed to prevent negative interactions with the drugs they gave me later? Or was I underdosed as a precautionary measure for opiates due to addiction?

All I know is that I'm afraid of ending up in pain in the future and being denied effective treatment out of misguided concern that I will become an addict.

I do not fear addiction. I fear pain.
You mean... war?
