That one is actually because it's two different words:

"people" is the plural form of "person", i.e. one person, two people, as a group

"people" (pl. "peoples") is a group of people as a unit, e.g. a tribe or an ethnic group or the citizens of a country

"persons" is ALSO the plural of "person" but only used when you talk about individuals rather than a group (e.g. "person of interest" -> "persons of interest", not "people of interest")

Yes this is a bit awkward and yes sometimes what's grammatically possible still sounds awkward even to native speakers (e.g. I'd argue "the polices" is a legitimate term when discussing multiple police organisations of a country as an abstract group but it sounds extremely wrong to most people apparently).

I didn't say he's malicious. I'm saying he isn't insightful or original. He has nothing meaningful to say that everyone doesn't already know. He just phrases it incomprehensibly and vaguely because he's trying to make a living selling books and giving self-help talks.

You are apparently upset that everything turns into a team sport with the left on one side and conservatives on another. Well, you're the one doing that here. I was basing my opinion of him on his own words, written and spoken. I have pretty moderate political beliefs and I don't really see how they pertain to a conversation about a guy that writes self-help books.

Can you show where that stat came from? 24% seems so high that it must be reflecting some major obvious phenomenon. Was there a big class of jobs that doesn't exist anymore? Were a quarter of white men self employed too? Was discrimination was so great that self-employment was a far better way to get work? Is that 24% of black men or working black men, or working-age black men? The statistic on its own leave so much confusion. Maybe self-employed meant itinerant farm laborer? It might not be so sad for that to stop existing.
The Z80 was a contemporary of MOS Technology’s 6502, and like that chip, it stood out not only for its elegant design but also for being dirt cheap (about US $25).

It might be your goal, but it's not everyone else's. You don't get to tell people they can't have freedom because it might involve more violence than leaving them in captivity.
In the chicken post, which they link to in the article in question, it says:

"The OED notes versions in such Germanic languages as Dutch (kieken, kuiken)..."

But chicken is kip in Dutch. Maybe they're talking about older versions of the word.

Also interesting, perhaps, is the other '-en' that comes to mind: boy/boys, which is jongen/jongens

Definitely the former: the way Europeans are talking about GDPR, insufficient respect for privacy is a human rights violation. We don't sanction Cuba because it makes trains the wrong way, we sanction it because we feel it violates its citizens' human rights.
Curiously, Kinder and children are completely unrelated. Child comes from the Proto-Germanic kelþaz which further came from the Proto-Indo-European stem gel-. On the other hand, "Kind" comes from Proto-Germanic kinþa, which comes from a Proto-Indo-European stem ǵenh₁- meaning "to produce, to give birth", whence also "genesis", "genealogy" and "gonad".

German definitely did not cause those curious plurals. We know for sure Old English had them itself from Proto-Germanic, and it makes a lot more sense for a language to retain irregular forms for words that are used very often, than to loan grammar, which is a relatively rare occurrence.

So true. In the UK the government is wringing it’s hands about obesity, introduced a sugar tax but the root cause is simple: it’s what was taught in schools in Home Ec in the 80s and 90s! Eat more bread and potatoes you can never have enough! But never touch fat, and only a little protein! Protein will destroy your kidneys! Basically the exact opposite of what you should do...

But rather than learning from that, they’re meddling again...

Yes! For some applications including machine learning you can set the option to flush denormals to zero so you don't hit this case.

Infinity and NaN can also be a performance problem but it depends on your processor. Though of course if you get those during matrix multiplication something has probably gone wrong.
I don't know. I do know that progress, though slow, was being made without violence. The Irish were given Home Rule by the British HoC in the 1910s. Surely this kind of progress would have continued. In contrast, violence was avoided at other times (the UVF arming to reject Home Rule).

It was not being made without violence. The British didn't give Irish Home Rule out of the goodness of their hearts - what an absurdly paternalistic argument, and one which ignores all the violence involved in upholding a particular political order.

As a parallel in this thread, people are wringing their hands about the violent potential of BLM but none of those people seem put out by the extensive use of violence by police on a daily basis, because that seems like such a part of social infrastructure that many have become blind to it..
Still - I'm pretty sure I encounter the word "peoples" more frequently than the word "datum." :-)
I agree with your first 2 paragraphs. The problem is that people can be convinced that there is an issue where there is none, then resort to violence on weak grounds. It is easy to get people riled up on spurious reasons. I was about to bring up BLM but see you did so:

>considering what they’re protesting, I think BLM has been remarkably NON-violent

Last year only 20 unarmed black people were shot and killed by police vs 30 whites. So far this year the numbers are 8 and 11. Counting all police shootings last year, whites are 457 of them, blacks 223. About twice the number of whites have been shot by police. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoo...

So yes blacks are killed at a higher rate per population. But what about by actual violence? When looking at violence, blacks and whites commit about the same number of homicides despite population differences. Homicide is the most fair stat we have. If we use lesser crimes [like drug possession or other violence], we will see blacks overrepresented due to higher policing and a biased justice system. In fact, as minority areas of cities have a low solve rate, going by homicides may understate the racial difference in crime in favour of blacks.

It sort of looks like, if you want to get racial about it, whites are the ones killed too much by police. And if you look at the numbers for Hispanics, it is even worse. (But that might be an artifact of how race/ethnicity/Hispanic is reported.[1])

Yet that does not stop perception. There was an ad on TV a while back with a black mother having "The Talk"[2] with her teenage daughter about getting stopped by cops and not wanting her killed. Well, let's see: in 2017 one unarmed female black person was shot by police, and that was when a SWAT team raided her and her bf's place. Such ads that portray this as an issue are simple fear mongering. 2018, so far that number is 0. An ad about how to hide in case of lightning storms would be more realistic. Or simply more training about driving. Or avoiding pools. Or practically anything else in the world.

Try it out: Go ask around and see what your friends and others think the true rate is of unarmed people being killed. Ask them what difference in numbers they think exist for black vs white, and ask them about the flip side of civilian violence. My guess is you'll first get some incredibly high statement about how this is just happening non-stop, then when you reveal the numbers you'll get some other excuse about how it is not about the numbers anyways but some other general racial problem.

1: I'm using https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2014/crime-in-the-u.s.-... for a quick view of homicide stats. The numbers could be off by 2x and it would not change the point much.

2: Found it: https://youtu.be/3s20ePvTaME?t=21 "This is not you about getting a ticket, this is about you coming home" to which the girl says "I'm going to be OK....right?" Obviously a dramatization but if you're somehow implying to your teenage girl that cops are going to pull you over and you'll not "come home", you're the problem.
Isn't this pretty common in other European languages though? "Pants" is after all an abbreviation of pantalones
So basically your takeaway from the fact that most of these successful social movements had a violent component to them is that social movements shouldn't be violent?

Sorry, I didn't mean just "spending money". When I mean stupid money, it's mostly there's an exorbitant amount hoping to get rich quick.

Someone that researches a company, industry and the geopolitics involved and invests... let's say a billion USD, then that market crashes to oblivion, I don't consider that "stupid money". At all. Try, fail, it sucks. But they did their own legwork to verify what they're doing. They flat out knew the risks. Their research probably showed that $1b was worth it.

Someone that goes, for an extreme example, "Bitcoin is going to be worth a $100,000 a coin because [insert one random article, bird sign, or because everyone else is doing it]." That's what I have a problem with. That's "stupid money" to me, chasing ambulances, etc.

The first example I don't feel ever really kills markets. Because their investment will be proportional to some research in potential market growth and maturity of the individual. If Google spends $1b on a market, something is there. But they now have a large foothold. There's still market space, but Company B decides only $100m because the chances of beating Google are low and their investment may go to waste. Instead of "If Google went $1b in, we're going $1b, because reasons." Obviously, their growth speculations can be wrong. But having some sort of independent research based speculation will always force someone to be more cautionary than "Oh, he said so, thus it must be true". That cautionary action, I feel, kind of self-corrects a market by never letting it get TOO big and out of control.

It's the second example I think just pumps money for no reason. Just a bunch of people trying to get rich quick because of everyone is doing it.

Eventually, the mature market holders will pull when they get scared because of their research. There's only so much "real" value in a market and competitive market space. That'll drop a market significantly to the point where others follow suite, thus a burst.
I'm not referring to the Visitor pattern in Abstract, I'm referring to the specific solution the author of the article we are discussing employed.

I have a Stealth Cam G42, a Moltrie Wingscapes and a Bushnell. All bought for around $100 on sale or used. Image and video quality is just about OK but they seem to work at night and hold up to weather. You can recognize the animal and see what it's doing but that's about it. Definitely far away from what you could achieve with a DSLR or mirrorless camera. But if something goes wrong like stolen camera (or fire!) the loss is not too painful. There also cameras with data connections but that gets pretty expensive quickly too.

The biggest problem is grass or branches in the field of view that move in the wind. I have had the camera fill the card in windy weather in one or two days because a little branch moved all the time. Now I spend a lot of time finding spots where nothing can move.

Concerning "It seems people in Germany and France were particularly keen on nixing links to their social media and directory details, while British and Italian people were three times more likely than others to target information on news websites."

One or the many things about GDPR I'm not sure of, from the point of view of a search engine/site is:
why would GDPR change anything related to links to news-sites?

Meaning:
one of the main tasks of a search engine is find news related to the search subject => hosting and using such information is therefore absolutely part of the core activities of the search engine => why is then google (and other search engines) willing to delete such infos?

Anyway, I read about this concept of a 6 day week (with a 2 day weekend) without losing any productivity.
