It's a tough translation. That section starts "The lord is my shepherd", and continues with a sheep metaphor, with "green pastures" and water, the things sheep need. Sheep draw confidence from the shepherd; they're herd animals and the shepherd is their alpha. Sheep are very herd-bound, far more than cattle or horses; a little bit of guidance and the whole flock follows. They've been bred for docility for millennia; the ones that were easy to herd were kept and bred. The people who wrote that were writing for an audience which knew that; today's audience has probably never seen sheep being herded.
Modern versions face the question of how much explanatory material to attach, or whether to try to express that in the main text. Scholars prefer translator footnotes; preachers don't.

Still, if you're not translating between languages, it's probably best to stay with the original. Compare, say, Kipling's "007".[1] This assumes some knowledge of railroading in the steam era. "Modernizing" Kipling would be a terrible mistake. It's probably best to leave anything post-1800 entirely as original. And don't even try to "clean up" Shakespeare. It's been done.[2]

The Amazon-Whole Foods Acquisition: Tech Execs, VCs, and Analysts Sound Off
Agree that lane weaving is annoying and frequently has no good explanation - there are no tight curves, the road markings are in perfect condition, there are no obstacles ahead and no one is changing lanes in front of the car.

I also wish that left-most and right-most lanes were special-cased, with a bit of preference towards left and right side respectively, instead of sticking to the center of the lane no matter what. Just seems safer overall, and with fairly large number of US roads not exceeding 2 lanes in one direction, seems like a pretty good rule of thumb.

The difference between autopilot and examples you mentioned is that autopilot can decrease safety. If it works correctly 99.9% of the time, you get used to it and when 0.1% arrive you will cause accident, because you weren't paying attention.
I don't use a Facebook profile, but it's not because I have a strong opinion about Facebook. It's just that nothing about its core product particularly appeals to me. But I also don't find anything about it morally repugnant, and I respect that many people really enjoy using it. I even respect that many other people don't enjoy it at all (and even find it repulsive), though they may be fatiguingly militant at times.

However, I'd probably work at Facebook. I respect and admire Facebook's overall security organization more than just about any other large tech company except Google, Apple or Microsoft. I haven't actually looked for employment there, but I've heard it's nice, and there are probably really interesting roles available for cryptography research and engineering.

I can only speak for myself, my calorie intake is restricted by about 20%. Most of it has to come from fat, not protein and your biggest problem is how can you eat that much fat. So lean meat is fine, but bacon, pork, steak is better :) And whole eggs, butter, cheese, avocados, carb free peanut butter, mayo. I measure everything, and it's still a lot of food. Since your blood sugar is basically constant during the day you don't feel hunger.

Yeah, you need fiber, but not a ton, just a teaspoon of psyllium husk powder daily, I mix it with my protein shake. Works.

There are fewer than 500 nuclear reactors in the world, and those reactors have massively higher oversight and mature safety compliance processes in place than the innumerable websites on the internet (for which approximately all of them share the same default state: insecure).

I understand the spirit of your point, but that's not at all a fair comparison. They're just altogether different things, and part of the problem is the nature of the tech industry, in which layers of complexity and security debt from different languages and frameworks can be piled on each other over and over again.

I think you should consider Dunning-Kruger here: instead of comparing Facebook's security to nuclear reactor safety, compare it to a company you believe has superior security; moreover, do you think you are appropriately qualified to condemn Facebook's security organization for the proportion of failures it experiences?

It is not the only problem, unfortunately. For example, there is no way to specify the order of quantifiers, which is very important (if you commute existiential and universal quantifiers, in general you change the meaning of a formula). So, for example, the definitions of pointwise and uniform continuity would we written identically, and that is not tolerable.

Probably you could solve also this by adding another index to quantified quantities, but at that point are you really solving the problem of complexity? Complexity is not only measured in terms of verbosity (i.e., length of the expressions you produce); ability to quickly locate information and ease of manipulation are also important, and it seems to me that this formalism fails completely. In the "traditional" formalism you separate the "final fact" you want to assert from its "conditions", given by the quantifiers; usually, you want to process those pieces of information at different times. Also, you have rules for quantifier introduction and elimination, which seems to be a nightmare with the proposed formalism.

That said, I do encourage new proposals and experimentation with notations, as with anything else in mathematics, even from young students. There have been cases in maths in which some good idea for a new notation made an entire field much easier (I am thinking for example to Einstein notation for tensor calculus).
I actually disagree with most of the other posters about bringing your own laptop. I only own a desktop and chromebook.

In the USA are there not rules about which lanes you use? Various dash cam videos from the US seem to show drivers choosing any lane, though I could viewing then wrong.

In the UK you use the outside lane if you are a slower vehicle and use the inside lane(s) as overtaking lanes, with the inside for the fastest speeds (within the limit) . If you are using one of the inside lane and are travelling slower that traffic in the outside lane you can get stopped by the police and fined, and will certainly feel the ire of of other drivers.
Getting papers refereed and distributed does cost. I think many journals are now charging more than £1k for accepting papers for open access, conferences charge fees ~£.5k or more (+ travel). Of course you can submit to arXiv, but that's moderated - not refereed and is sponsored by wonderful people - but what if one day the people paying for it stop being so wonderful.

In the past the cost of papers was paid on the demand side and borne communally, now the cost is paid on the supply side. Science still values paper counts and citation counts - but it seems to me that folks who can afford publication now have an unhealthy advantage that they didn't used to!

When Tesla say you can't drive passengers commercially it is probably because of liability concerns. Insurance for taxis are much higher than insurance for personal vehicles.

They don't have to be shares; they just need to be securities, and over the last 80+ years that term has been defined fairly clearly and broadly, and ICOs clearly count.

For example, one definition of a "security" is an "investment contract", and what is (or isn't) an "investment contract" is defined by the Howey Test, which looks at whether:

1. It is an investment of money (or other assets)

2. There is an expectation of profits from the investment

3. The investment of money is in a common enterprise

4. Any profit comes from the efforts of a promoter or third party

The typical ICO very obviously meets all 4 elements, inasmuch as it involves a company raising money via an ICO, where purchasers of the tokens 1) give money to the company 2) expected to profit from purchasing the tokens 3) the money was to be invested in building the company's core business and 4) their hope of profits would depend on the company's actions.

> Owning a token dies not necessarily mean you now own a portion of the company or profits.

That is correct, and one of many reasons why tokens are a bad investment, but it's not actually relevant. Securities come in a thousand flavours.

(And no, the argument that tokens just look like securities, but if you read the fine print they don't actually promise profits or whatever won't fly either. If someone can show they purchased a token based on a representation from the promoter that there would be profits, the fine print doesn't matter.)

Thank you for this comment. Most people aren't aware of the relationship that Bell was in with the gov't because of its status as a monopoly. Before the gov't broke up Bell, it agreed to let Bell have the monopoly on the telephone system, and in exchange, Bell "gave back" to the public in the form of new, "public domain" technology. Not just the transistor, but also Unix and the C programming language. Sometimes I wonder how farther we might be in our technological development if Bell had never been broken up.

I like the minimalist approach. I could probably use this to spike a few prototypes quickly, but I see one caveat: the lack of 2-way binding...

> especially when different fields seem to use the same symbols to meant totally different things

That is the problem: there are by far too few letters and symbols to describe all the objects used in modern mathematics. You need to reuse symbols, and therefore any paper must declare the symbols they use. Sometimes they are even forced to use the same symbol for different things, so you need to have some experience in the field to understand which is the correct reading each time.

The symbol declaration can be done explicitly (by stating the fact, usually at the beginning or in a dedicated section; some books also have a table of notations with references to definitions) or implicitly, when the paper is targeted to scholars that are most probably already familiar with that notation. The latter is probably not very friendly to newcomers, but in most cases if you do not know what implicitly defined objects are, then you probably cannot understand the paper anyway.

In short, there are very few "short ways" into mathematics. If you want to understand things, you have to spend time and study them.
That car is driving oddly. It stopped for pedestrians who were on the sidewalk, and several times it stopped after making a turn. I could see that being really frustrating for other drivers and even dangerous if it's doing unpredictable things no human driver would do in those circumstances.

I must admit, I don't understand this often repeated notion of "cruising speed" in interstellar space.

To me, it feels like some people think of crossing the void between stars as crossing the the Atlantic in a bottle, trying to blow my mind with how long the crossing will take, even if that bottle is given an absolutely amazing initial throw.

For interstellar travel to make sense, there _must_ be a 'cruising acceleration', not speed. The notion isn't that strange - after all, cruising speed in a ship on earth requires a constant engine power, which in space would mean constant acceleration.

IIRC, a comfortable cruising acceleration of 1G would make it a 4 year trip (6 as experienced by Earth). We just need a whole lot of efficient fuel and an interstellar propeller :P
