There is no doubt that people don't want to have new language and culture forced on them. There is also no doubt that people enjoy creating new language, and thus new culture.

The strife comes when there is no agreement. The Austrian dialects don't form on the basis of individual expressions of power - they form through consensus, the same mechanism by which wars are fought.

The point is, I believe that there is a balance between obsessively differentiating ones culture through new invention, and establishing the basis of cultural peace through common language.

You've correctly indicated the extremes - but within the scope of those boundaries, there is a means of peace, which is: always be as willing to learn a new word as you are in creating a new word. This is not so easy - there are definitely limits - but those limits are extended with every new word learned, and the contract with every strange word encountered.
I’d like to be better at this. My wife and I are moving from North Carolina to Sweden soon and we’re both very introverted.
You can read all of "Kunstformen der Natur" (Artforms of Nature) at the Biodiversity Heritage Library, along with lots of other beautifully illustrated natural science literature.

Even though it's old, this is still useful scientific information, and digitizing it is very helpful to people without access to a 100-year-old zoological library. As you can see from selecting "Show OCR", there's still some work to be done to get the algorithms working on 19th century German blackletter fonts.

This is about the architecture of iCloud not iOS. Apple has the keys to all encrypted iCloud data (iCloud email is not encrypted at rest).

The only exception is iCloud keychain, but I believe only if you decline the default setting to create an iCloud security code (I'm not entirely sure about that)

I got your point, I just don't agree with it! I think that's a consistent logical position to take, but I don't think it's undeniably _ethical_ because of that.
True, but if you round it down to the closest multiple of (say) 32, you significantly reduce the information content while leaving JS/CSS layout essentially the same.

Indeed, it will surely make resize look less sexy (jumping by 32s instead of pixels), and you might waste a few pixels of screen real estate on some sites at some times -- but it's the kind of tradeoff that some people happily do for more privacy.

Related, does anyone know if privacy badger include "screen size determination" in its heuristics?

Small slow processors are likely to have much lighter power requirements too. Barring a breakthrough in battery tech or wireless power, that’s going to be important for a long time for many applications (especially IoT).

I would be cautious about extrapolating seal metabolism to mammal metabolism. Diving mammals have many special adaptations to deal with high pressure, breathing, oxygen, nitrogen etc. Is an interesting history in any case.
As usual, it is worth testing and seeing the results empirically. For an excellent project testing these and comparing results, see https://github.com/lemire/testingRNG.
Yeah I don't see the connection to Google or how using these non-Google services helps with that kind of thing. It's completely unrelated.

You say "Google can access your data." What exactly does that mean? No single employee of Google can. They put immense protections in place because of just how costly it would be if this happened....it would destroy trust in the company that they have spent billions of dollars building up.

This is a fundamentally different thing than someone's wife logging into their device and seeing their Ashley Madison stuff.
Can't wait to see what their excuse for Autopilot crashes will be then. Maybe something like:

"Yeah, we said we enabled full self-driving features, but we still didn't say you can't pay attention to the road anymore! Just because we're offering the feature it doesn't mean you have to use it."

So to demonstrate you're from the USA, culturally, you have to be so self-obsessed as to imagine USA is the only country in the whole of the American continent?

I don't necessarily doubt it; but it's kinda hilarious.

I’m learning a new language now after moving to a new country and found duolingo was difficult to follow due to the artificial voice.

Memrise has been great though, not only are the voices natural, the app shows a video of a native speaker speaking a new word.

I highly recommend Memrise (so far) for learning a language. The format just clicks for me.

Edit: I will try this out when I get to my computer. Anything to help me learn my new language :-)
Hey wanted to know that I'm super excited to see/use fathom -- I've been using Piwik (now Matomo) for a while, but found that it kinda did too much, envisioned myself writing something like Fathom to scratch the itch, glad I don't have to! :)

It looks like fathom has just the stuff I want to see in a nice stripped down view

Do you want to continue operating a business? If so, then you probably want accountants to handle the paperwork / filings part of running the business for you. You should expect to pay about ~$10k a year for this all in, including the service in English that (reading between the lines) you likely require.

If you cannot operate a business, then you can have accountants wind down the operations of the current business. This will not reflect particularly poorly on you, especially to the extent that the business was more a paper entity than something with material operations. (Failure at running a business is not exactly prized in Japan; infelicitous choices in paperwork can be taken care of.)

I would be happy to give you the name of an English-speaking accountancy in Tokyo that can help you with either of the above. Please feel free to send me an email; my address is in my profile.

You should probably speak to a mental health professional. I don't have a great recommendation for one here; consider asking your friends or, in extremis, your local city hall for a referral to an English-speaking one. If the health-oriented parts of city hall don't have a ready answer the internationalization-oriented part (hopefully) does; this is a Top 10 ask for them.

Some people don't have an easy time imagining something different than it currently is.

I've always had a pretty easy time of it, so it surprised me when my girlfriend (now wife!) told me she had to see a shirt to know if she liked it or not. I stared at the picture, dumbfounded. But apparently pictures don't really do things justice for her, and she can't do it.

Likewise, when we're designing a layout for a room, she has to see it before she can really appreciate it, whereas I can see it in my mind and be perfectly happy that I know what it'll look like.

We've been house-hunting lately, and the ugly houses with horrible wallpaper or gaudy colors everywhere are really hard to envision without them. Even I'm having trouble with it, but she can't see that first picture without exclaiming about how horrible it is.

And there's one other reason: We're trading up houses, and there's a ton of expenses and things to get done. If the house needs a lot of work, like carpets, painting, new kitchen, etc, that means we need somewhere to live while it gets done, or go without a kitchen/etc until it's done. That means holding onto 2 mortgages for a while, which is crazy expensive. (You get it back later, but it's a nightmare until then.) Picking a house that's already what you want is a lot easier, and a house has to be pretty cheap to make that tradeoff.

For the record, it looks like we're going to put the work in. But only the minimum to move in, and then have to do a lot of it over time as we live there. It's a pretty daunting propostion.

Physics is something that is fascinating to anyone with a bit of curiosity, intimately part of the human experience on every scale, and difficult to work through in its more advanced (or nuanced) features. I'd rather he came up with fantastical conjectures than felt like it was forbidden to him. As long as people take it as the musings of a musician and he never presents them as supported by evidence, of course.

Also, "objective experience" is kind of a misnomer I suppose. Is "experience" inherently subjective?

Hell, actual physicists allow themselves to flirt with non-falsifiable ideas.

Regardless, I found it to be apt, and a better description than most of the changing experience of time as we age - and also, perhaps, as our culture changes as well.
> but everytime I tried to do something in laravel, django, or even phoenix, it just couldn't cut it.

Why?
Proposition 13 exists because cities refused to control their spending. Solve that problem before asking to water down or eliminate proposition 13.

For example, the total value of the city budget could be expressed in dollars per resident, and this could be prevented from increasing without a vote by the residents. The property tax rate then varies as required to exactly satisfy the city budget.
The great icon debate: Font or SVG
While the advice here is quite solid, when I went to figure out what their favicon was doing(it had partial transparency, apparently due to downscaling blending opaque and transparent parts), the first thing I saw was a big block of code that appeared to enable tracking by Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Linkedin. (It was a sharrre function with enableTracking set to true on each).

Not entirely relevant, yet considering the topic of the site it's a tad ironic, and a reminder of the prevalence of sites complicit in the tracking they advocate against.
Hmm, the empty space on left side of each button was supposed to be icon from FontAwesome. I think your browser didn't load FontAwesome well.

But that's okay, I've updated Devpen so that FontAwesome icons are now handled properly. Thanks for the report :)

"intelligently"

I only had trouble with Google's "intelligent" sorting; you're better off with a proper filter system, like sieve, and setting it up for yourself. Eg. I remember reservation confirmations going into "promotions".
That’s only the 32core And perhaps 24core TR. the 8-16 will probably be lower than current due to node shrink.
I can see two answers to that.

First is that a single-socket motherboard is still a simpler design to produce with all the advantages that entails.

Second is that you’re allowed to stick two of these on a two-socket board for CPU-bound loads. Better density for when you have the thermal capacity to spare.

Some companies does not allow employees to write code outside of work, I work in a 50+ Billion company, whose policies clearly state that, you can be fired for writing code even in your free time.

60GS – CSS Grid Layout
Sorry, but none of your sentences make any sense.

What is fought about with Austrian dialects? What is the consensus mechanism, what does the notion of individual expression of power mean? You mean self-expression is a power structure? Did you just hereby invent this notion, or is it some echo of power structures inherent in language stereotypes passed as having anything to do with dialects?

What is obsessive about differentiating, what is "establishing basis of cultural peace". These make no sense to me at all.

I indicated nothing, just repeated concrete examples you choose to ignore for the second time. Then instead of giving your own you choose to muddy the waters with some incomprehensible original philosophy.

Also a folding bike is a much worse riding experience than a full size bike but bike theft is absolutely endemic in my city.

Pretty sure it's this above all else. The US is also not in "The West", but it is in a sense "westernized" (it just never had a period where it wasn't "westernized" because of its origins).

The two terms are holdovers from centuries ago, when "The West" really did mean Europe and "The East" meant east Asia (and The Orient was in between, the Middle East + west Asia).

There's even an XKCD about how confusing it can be from the US (or, really, the Americas in general): https://xkcd.com/503/
Another thought after sleeping on it - after a good nights sleep you are often clearer mentally and can see better ideas whereas after broken sleep you feel fuzzy headed which also could suggest REM sleep is about cognition - probably running what if scenarios in effect which is why if you interrupt it you get odd future scenarios as dreams. Its interesting that the networks can probably do that without conscious awareness.
Never heard of it, but the project sounds promising. You still have to install the proprietary client, right?
Great idea. I moved to Berlin recently and I will definitely try it out to complement my lessons. Maybe you could try partnering with businesses that buy lessons for their new employees?

One tip, it would be great to have subtitles on the intro video so I don't have to annoy others with having the volume up.
No, you support the person you donate to. That the "free-riders" are supported too is only a secondary thing. The main aim of FOSS is to share intellectual effort with the world anyways.
Firefox’s tracking protection is the same feature as Safari’s content blockers. [the defaults differ, though], and prevents specific listed domains from loading anything. Except when it turns out blocking them breaks too much. Like Youtube embeds.

Safari’s tracking prevention applies to things that do wind up getting loaded, and limits access to their own cookies/context. [kind of like loading all those embeds in seperate private sessions, even though they're on the same page]
> The drive to create a unique cultural identity separate from other, existing identities:

I don't think that it's a drive, it just happens. Language is cultural exchange, and if the only entry point for a word is some stranger with a spelling mistake, you'll then build upon that spelling mistake and incorporate it into your own vocabulary. The languages and dialects formed in times when most people couldn't read or write.

My point is ignoring features largely proven in mainstream languages is bad.

Even the last version of Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS (7.0) was more feature rich, ignoring the lack of GC for a moment.
Ask HN: When is something ‘AI’?
It’s become a buzzword and I wonder where the line is drawn. When can you call something AI? Is a simple JS bot that plays tic tac toe considered AI?
If it isn’t, it sure feels like the entirety of Product Hunt is breaking the rules. So, given what I’ve seen: probably no.
I think the point of the talk was to say it is very different to engineer features vs to make features learnable. This is indeed very different than "software 1.0".

He also points that the challenges are not where academia is focusing.
Show HN: We Built and Open Sourced a Feature Flagging Platform
Hi. We just open sourced Bullet Train, a Feature Flag and Remote Config platform. It's a collection of tools: server API, admin front end and clients for a bunch of different platforms. Together they allow you to control feature flags and remote config across projects, environments and users.

We realised that we were building ad-hoc feature flag stuff into individual projects over and over, so we had a look around to see if there was a way of doing this in a more formal manner. There are a few commercial solutions around but they were quite expensive and seemed to be aimed more at the enterprise. We wanted something that was targeting start-ups and dev agencies, because that's what we do.

The platform is 100% Open Source, so you can self host all of it if you want. We're also hosting an API and admin front end for people for free right now. If we can get enough interest we will start offering paid hosting plans that are priced for startups and small businesses, but right now we are just trying to build some interest in the open source projects.

Ideally we'd love some feedback on the product and some help writing clients for languages like Go and .Net where we don't have the expertise to do so.

Currently you have to be a member of their affiliate program to get API access. To become a full "member" you have to be a prospect who generates three referral sales (iirc) within a 30 day period. So once in you have the API, but getting in isn't as easy as filling out a form. From there you can get your API rate limits increased from the default 1x call per second up to 10 based on your prior 30 day affiliate sales.

Starting a company to sustain yourself is not a bad idea. You, however, need to find your place in the market. Keep pivotting until you find what you like that is providing enough for your lifestyle.

In my experience, it takes 2 to 3 years for a new online business to start to have stable income, you will get there, just never stop fighting and do not give up. Find a partner to support you in life, find network circles for friendship and business.

Being away from home is tough, we all been there. Making a step back is also not something bad.
This is one of the more important questions. You need a vision for your company aside from "be my own boss" something to build or look forward to. Are you wanting to do consulting or do software contracts? Or some sort of product / type of products maybe?

Given your mental health issues, it may be best for you to pack up go somewhere with more social support. That might mean staying in Japan but working a regular job. Don't worry about your reflection on foreigners in Japan. In fact, handling mental health issues responsibly is something that Japan needs to do a lot more of.

$50k USD is not a lot of money. You can save that within a few years in many countries.

The brightside is you haven't went into debt. That would make the situation infinitely worse. Unfortunately, your runway has run out so you have to return to a regular job like a regular person.

Exactly. In France people have been convicted because they "liked" illegal opinions. As if the fact that such a thing as an illegal opinion exists was not enough of a problem, it's been decided by justice that the semantic of a "like" was "I make this opinion mine".
