In both Chinese and English, I feel "beautiful" is as abstract as "rich", and less abstract than "powerful" and "democratic". Maybe you feel differently but that's how I feel.
English linguistics jargon abounds with German words (Sprachbund, Wanderwort, Aktionsart...)

He’s just using the lingo that people come to use as they immerse themselves in this field.

No, it's saying a proper way must work. If you think your approach works, please make the case for that. Keep in mind that the system whereby public school districts are funded by local taxes have a spotty record at best.

Disclaimer: Saying public schools have a spotty record isn't insulting people who work in or love public schools. Objectively, property values correlate with school quality for a reason. And high property values make quality schools more expensive, especially for the poor, but the profits are captured by landlords, not the school system or the general fund of local government. Point being, this isn't a personal, us-versus-them fight.

Ask HN: Why was there so much outrage over SOPA compared to NN?
I remember when SOPA was announced there was so much outrage everywhere. Reddit shutdown for a day(iirc?), fb wall was filled with SOPA related posts, even HN had a black bar (again iirc).

But this time except one or two posts on Reddit homepage it seems not many are outraged. So just wondering whats the reason behind it.

1. Everyone is just tired of protesting?
2. With trump at helm there is not much hope?
3. SOPA was more important than NN?
4. It's Thanksgiving and their plan is working?
5. It's not that urgent just yet?
6. I'm creating a strawman?
She is only asked about it in the last question, and mentions a New York City politician wanting open source algorithms:

> Algorithms make decisions all through his borough, the East Bronx, including where children go to school, where police patrols are assigned, and the schedule for garbage pickup.

Which seems a bit bizarre, open source algorithms would be nice, but the tie in to 'the humanities' seems tenuous at best.
But will they come back looking for something more expensive?

I'm not sure there's any money aiming for the market that buys cheap. On the other hand enthusiast vendors like e.g. PC Specialist in the UK have survived for many years selling PC's in the price segment these guys are going after, because frankly for some of the models you could survive as a small company on a few dozen a month, while you might have to sell 10x-20x as many units to make similar margins to cover salaries and sales costs for lower priced units.

Clam down, there're many ways for China to expand it's influence other than war. Plus, India and China both have nuclear weapons, meaning death trigger for everyone on earth, you don't want to touch that.

Tibet on the other hand is a very long, complex and different story (and South China Sea is whole another different one), I don't think they belongs to the same topic.

I can pretty much tell you that, in China, nobody think of India or Vietnam etc as enemy. Instead, they're the MARKET we can sell our product to. Which, guess what, that's what everybody do now, rather than thinking about war all days.

So, why not trading and be good at it?

There are some other amusing typographical glitches. For instance, I was once curious about the origin of "badass" so I searched Google Books for usages.

Well yeah, so I should have said natural science.

> Besides classical logic, universals, and virtue ethics, right?

I don’t know: I went into the Classics expecting to encounter some great stuff—what with like 1000 years of hype and all—only to be pretty underwhelmed. My takeaway was that The Church put these Greek guys on a pedestal around 1200 and everyone in Europe didn’t know better until the Renaissance. Sure they played a role in history, but I never encountered anything particularly uniquely or irreplaceable or exciting in the Greeks that you can’t find elsewhere.

moreover you can never be absolutely sure that you are indeed blocking all traffic, stopping users that use VPNs for example is tough.

In case you have a legitimate application however, the fundamental way to do this would be to consult a database that maps ip ranges to ASs or country codes directly like this one: https://iptoasn.com/

Once you have the affected ip ranges you can block them either at level 3 in a router or at the application level.

The topic of language is carried by the context and topic of the entire post. Explicit emphasis is redundant.

Now, sprachgefühl is more abstract (after all, it refers to the "feeling", which while similar is not strictly the same as "preference"), but I'd argue that "preference" is a decent replacement conveying everything that was intended, and the best fit given the English vocabulary. If you find a need to be more explicit, try something along the lines of "opinions on language aesthetics".

"Sprachgefühl" is not a widely accepted loanword (it appears reserved for those that pick their own loanwords to show off their diverse linguistic skills—smartasses, so to speak), and it looks awfully out of place for those of us that understand German.

While I don't agree with that '美丽' does not have anything to do with abstract ideal, I don't agree with you, neither.

While 美丽 can be used to describe physical objects, 美丽 in the Constitution does convey a sense of abstract ideal. Because when someone says 'something is 美丽', the statement is already abstract. The statement says nothing about the physical property of the subject, it simply conveys an ideal that may be interpreted differently by each individual.

But certainly this ideal won't be of the Platonic or Aristotelian sort. In this context, it simply means a country that 'everyone finds enjoyable living in', which is indeed an ideal.

I have a winter cabin up in the mountains near Seattle, which so happens to have some of the cheapest electricity in the world.

If I wasn't a bit scared about it setting the place on fire I'd probably do it, but pretty sure I'd end up heating the place for free after a season.

"The state should serve the people, not the other way around."

That depends on your political views, but in my book, sure. The only measure of economic success for a country should be the improvement of the lives of their citizens.

China's current economic strategy have lifted more than 500 millions of people from poverty. A change of that magnitude have never happened before in history.

Do you know how they talk about poverty in the world improving in the last years?. Normally it's not mentioned but it's basically China.

About the capital controls, from the NYT article:
"The government sets a $50,000 limit on the money Chinese citizens can move out of the country in a year, [..]"

It seems to me that the people that feel constrained by this are not the majority of the people in China.
which country is this?
To complicate it, for many subjects there are multiple very similar paintings by the same artist. Sometimes so similar they're often confused.

E.g. Edvard Munch's "The Scream" [1] exists in four different versions that are all referred to by that name (as well as 45 litographs).

Other times simply because the artist painted the same subjects a lot.

Likely a combination of the reasons you listed but given that past protests against ending net neutrality were quite extensive, I'd say protest fatigue is a large part of it. And not just fatigue over the ending of NN rules seeming to be inevitable due to attacks on it seeming to never end but also protest fatigue in general. Protesting just about anything in order to gain social currency has burnt people out, and now we're all left vulnerable due to protest energy having been spent on issues such as 'air conditioning is sexist'. People are tired of being asked to be outraged all the time, which makes it an excellent time for pushing through what would otherwise be unpopular changes.

I think there is a certain stigma to English people using German words, on account of the fact that the nations have a long history of rivalry and open warfare against each other .. perhaps a linguist can pipe in and tell us if there was ever a period where Spanish words had a similar degree of stigma, after wars and so on ..

Since you mentioned "ideal", let me give you an example of "ideal". ＂中国梦＂, literally translated as "the Chinese dream" and a phrase coined by CCP, describes an "ideal" that fits your description.

But no, "beautiful" in this context just means prettier physical outlook of buildings. You can't over-interpret it (at least in Chinese).

>"do we really want to apply 16th century economics rules today? No"

Well, it's not 16th century economics, it's economics if you are a already developed country or a country in process of development. Those are different animals with different needs.

Of course, now that USA or Europe is already developed is time to apply different rules.

This is a nice and simple! Usually I keep a logbook separated for each project but it looks more like a diary where I record failed approaches and new tries to solve a problem.
