"Then learn vocabulary, memorising the kanji as you go. Make up stories using the radicals and feel free to revise stories as you go. Once you see kanji regularly, you won't need the stories anyway -- so optimising order to make your stories consistent is a wasted effort. My 2 cents."

Not just your 2 cents...this is the way they teach in Japan, both to natives and at language schools. They have a kanji ordering that is loosely based on frequency, and the kanji are individually presented for reading(s) and (hand)writing, but the actual learning involves memorizing lists of words. In fact, now that I'm not taking exams in Japanese anymore and I care very little about handwriting, it's more efficient to memorize words. I find that new kanji sink in automatically. It's kind of magical, really.

To overgeneralize a bit, the folks I've met who are most dedicated to the RTK method are the ones who have been "studying" Japanese for years and years with little discernable progress. Lots of people get sucked into the kanji memorization black hole because it's gives the impression of steady, incremental progress to a process that is not incremental at all.

Indeed, I don't defer to Marx. But that said, it's been a while since I read him much. I suspect you're conflating Marx describing Capitalism with defining it.

We can describe the idea of buying and selling with money as certainly being a characteristic of Capitalism without asserting that it's a defining characteristic that is absent in other systems.

To be blunt, buying and selling with money is FAR older than Capitalism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism is actually pretty good and neutral

Nobody should pay any attention to the metric because it's a silly way to value a company. Think about it: there are about 7 billion pairs of eyeballs, ignoring maybe 1% who are legally blind and/or Braille ads do not exist. 110/7 => Google revenue is generating $15.7 per viewer per year. And Google expects people to believe that this value will increase each year, when the denominator is increasing and the numerator is decreasing due to competition.

Viewed as an advertiser (Google's real customers), I would like this number to come down over time.

I was thinking recently.. once you have data uplink anywhere on the planet, whats stopping them from blanketing the planet in cell phone towers and taking over that industry as well? They won't be limited by where you can run fiber like the other guys.
A crypto-currency bubble is a good sign
how does that link invalidate the parent comment? No more details on who is saying "backpage is good". And I almost guarantee sex-trafficked women aren't the ones defending it. So why don't we listen to the victims of the crime the bill is about: sex-trafficking. NOT prostitution.
I've found that Duolingo is very good for learning how to read another language (or at least read enough to get an idea of what a text is saying).

It's mediocre at teaching you how to write, bad at teaching you to listen, and useless at teaching you how to speak.

I've found that if you just grind through lessons without actually reading the supporting material, you don't learn much at all. If you actually read the supporting material you'll learn a lot more.

Duolingo is best used as a tool in a toolbox of language learning tools. It's good for reinforcement learning, but not great for actually developing an understanding.

As an analogy, you could learn algebra by looking at a lot of examples and working through worksheets of algebra problems, but you're not going to actually understand what you're doing, or learn very well.

Here is a thought, for those who have insurance. The insurance company can just give you an all expenses paid 12 business class trips (one per week @~3000$ a pop on the web and much cheaper if purchased in bulk) to go to Malaysia and get the 300$ treatment along with hotel stay for a day or two.

And It would still be cheaper by 50%...

We crossed this bridge quite a while ago, it's only the direction that's changing. If I hacked a server in the US from the UK guess where I'm being charged? If I send drugs from Canada to the US guess where I'm being charged? These aren't hypotheticals, they've happened before.

I agree it needs to be changed, but this was foreseeable a long time ago and nobody cared.
The key point is that, if the satellites are cheap enough, they're a safety valve for surplus rocket supply. Or padding if schedules don't make for full payloads.

Essentially seeding their own demand in a market that didn't previously exist (cheaper launch on reused rockets).

As a side benefit, they get the ability to put a constellation in orbit (and continue adding to it) at a fraction of the cost of their telecom competitors.

I think the argument is that more affluent users would be more likely to opt-out, leaving behind less affluent, and therefore less-valuable users, making advertisers desire less and less to advertise at all.

Facebook would be faced with trying to get as much revenue out of the 5% of their users who pay as out of the currently-100% of users who don't, and that would be a very hard thing to do.

That's definitely not true -- They have a $230m Solarcity bond due Nov 2018 and then another $566m inherited Solarcity bond due Nov 2019.

What was paid back were "Solar bonds", which were not SolarCity bonds.

I can see why you would think that though - the PR around that only mentioned what they were paying early, not what was being inherited. (I think by design, but I have a cynical view of Tesla's relationship with the truth so that's only an opinion).

The funny thing is that ad-blocking only works because advertising is a really, really scammy and untrustworthy industry. Ad blocking is trivial to defeat in HTML5. Just use canvas drawing for everything. Good luck filtering out the commands to draw ads (Netflix does this, and yes, they use it to show ads, but only their own). It would present difficulties for indexing, but that can be worked around.

But this would mean advertisers would have to trust websites to actually show their ads, without direct feedback from the client side. And historically, there have been MANY scams of this nature, so websites can't choose to do this, it would trigger the "I'm being scammed" alert in advertisers.

Why ? Because a LOT of advertisements are also scams. And of course, scammers (advertisers) are really, really sensitive to getting scammed themselves.
fake excuse based on comment contents though from what i understand...

You can talk about how users "don't pay attention" all you want, but that seems to me like too big of a number to just put all the blame on users. At some point you have to blame the developer, too.

When you have such high percentages of users doing something, it's not about "user stupidity" anymore. It's about the system's design. Facebook designed its apps to get those high percentages of user approval (even without most realizing they gave that approval).
> I was taught in my german class that "ich bin warm" directly translates to I'm feeling hot

It doesn't though: feeling hot would be "mir ist heiß", feeling warm would be "mir ist warm". Kinda like you wouldn't say "ich bin schwindlig", but rather "mir ist schwindlig". In English, "I am dizzy" and "I'm feeling dizzy" are the same, in German they're decidedly not.

[as a fun bonus, "ich fühle mich warm" is never used, while "ich fühle mich schwindlig" is perfectly fine]

Though it's possible to describe a person as "warm" without meaning sexuality (or things related to that which also describe emotional warmth, like "warme Begrüßung", "ein warmer Blick" etc.), "ich bin warm" isn't something you would ever say (in a non-comedy context) I think.

Describing oneself or others as hot can mean a lot of things, kinda like in English: horny, attractive, on top of their game, very popular, and so on.

Hope that helped :)
I think a problem with that mentality is that it's antidemocratic. Basically you're saying that potentially the only laws you'll recognize are those with which you agree.

If other citizens were to also adopt that policy, we'd literally have anarchy.

This is true, but people in those countries believe in social cohesion and also personally believe that while flawed, they owe allegiance to their respective countries --they are not unaware of their respective countries' failings, afterall.
Perhaps you're right. I didn't know Backpage was a thing until this news cycle, I guess I assumed that people who knew about it also know about other sites. Was this the only site online facilitating prostitution? Apparently not, since craigslist also shut down their personals section. Some of the stories by sex workers talk about using Backpage to network and vet Johns which implies to me that most users were regulars. I suspect regulars will not find something else to do this evening but will instead start by calling up past providers, rebuilding their connections, and likely end up on another site with even more features and less oversight operating on TOR.
I fail to see the point. Investors manage their risk-reward profile by investing different percentage amounts of their net worth. The measure of how much money you have or make per year is in no way an indicator of how capable you are in assessing these opportunities. The fact that only 3% of Americans can invest in this vehicle that by your admission mostly fail may be an indicator of this (I'll admit it's not causal, I'm just being cheeky).
Yes, I know the feeling, having had similar political BS affect me. In that case, you do indeed need to act in your own best interests.
The act of divesting your interest will send a signal to them, which might waken them up, but from what you say, they would have to exit to keep the company alive and have others rebuild the company - which you indicate will not happen (broken promises etc). So manage your exit as best you can.
Do not spread any bad words against them, it will look like sour grapes and might be actionable.
The founder(s) might want to taint you in some manner after you leave, but the people in the business area you are in will not be fooled, they will lay the blame where it should go.
Sadly, there are few ways to glorify an exit, especially if they crash and burn after you leave, so you might have to wander in the wilderness for a period before you get on your feet. Good luck with the process.

We try to prohibit plenty of things, like murder and rape. What’s wrong with that? The imperfection of our attempts in. Omway invalidates those attempts, and the prevailing wisdom supported by evidence is that prohibiting violent crimes has better outcomes than not. Raping children and trafficking them for the purposes of rape is pretty violent, and while some black market will exist, it’s worth constraining, and fighting.

This isn’t prohibition against adults choosing to smoke some pot or have a drink after all, and trying to parlay the semantics of that prohibition to this discussion is grossly inappropriate.

They asked Plessy to voulenteer to be test case, to which he agreed. (And yes, it did backfire).

The railroad company was an ally to the cause due to costs of adding more cars, so they agreed to help.

And I think you missed the point completely and that's exactly why my comment had to be made.

The fact that you use murder here is a perfect example.

Prohibition measures are all about restricting the availability of something to curb the desire of it.

With the sole exception of the Quaalude, it has never worked. A single government had to convince a global industry to stop its production entirely. There were only like 7 or 9 labs making it though. Oh and with designer drug labs in China, you can actually get ludes made now if you're clever.

Human trafficking, coercion and violence is a side-effect of a desire creating a market. Driving that market underground will not eliminate the market, you have to eliminate peoples' desire for that thing.

You can't globally stop the production of human beings to curtail this market like they did with Quaaludes...

Murder is just about the freest, easiest thing you can do if that's your desire. Murder rates are on the decline because it's just something not that many people want to do anymore.

I'll take it a step further and suggest that highly secure applications should be causality gapped - the system is only activated when more than 5 billion light years from Earth, so no data could make it back before the sun destroys the planet.

For critical applications, the system should be launched far enough from the edge of all observable matter, that it is causality gapped to the heat death of the universe.

My experience in the city is that USPS will have a key to apartment buildings and walk ups. I've seen out door mailboxes but everywhere I've lived has had them behind the front door. This means packages are always delivered behind atleast one locked door. FedEx and UPS will ring all the bells and if you're unlucky and no one is home it'll get left in a bush or you'll have to reschedule. I've never had a package stolen, but I've seen the notes left on the front door by unfortunate neighbors.

Consistency is also the reason why Java or C# are so popular for large system. I asked a Scala developer recently why does his company use Java but not Scala, despite their developer's familiarity with the latter. He answered that while Scala is fine for small teams, when we have 100 or more developers there will be factions (scalaz, cats etc...), and it's very hard to maintain consistency between systems. With Java there is only one true style so it's easy to scale with larger number of developers.

That's just the initial system, and they'll be selling globally, not just in the US. It's still about 10 times the aggregate bandwidth of their nearest competitor (OneWeb) plus the later constellation is going to be much larger and more capable.

Additionally, there should be about 150-200 satellites above the US in the initial deployment.

They also plan to upgrade the satellites themselves (according to SpaceX's Mueller) so they're much larger. That should, in principle, allow them to exceed the per-satellite throughput of GSO birds like Viasat's which are over 1Tbps per bird.

They aren't competing with fiber in Denver. They're competing with high-latency and expensive satellite internet in rural areas. It's possible they may eventually dip into the cities a bit if they sell out their capacity and then build out their VLEO constellation (total of 12,000 or so satellites, but in much lower orbits enabling yet lower latency and higher bandwidth).

But Iridium's problem wasn't a lack of capacity, it was slow customer acquisition combined with very high interest rates and launch prices. If SpaceX fills up their network with customers to its capacity, they will be just fine.
I wonder how soon we’ll see a company accidentally forget everyones’ data due to a poorly architected/implemented solution to “right to be forgotten”.
