Just because a word describe something that is gendered, it doesn't mean that the word is gendered itself. And using gendered pronouns for inanimate things in English is purely result of tradition and has nothing to do with grammar; it is perfectly normal to use "it" for a ship.

> Gender does not affect grammar in English [...], but it is actually a gendered language with three genders.

A definition of a gendered language is that the gender affects grammar, not whether it has (pro)nouns to designate gendered objects.
I recently went hiking in the pyrenees, and I had IGN maps (french topographic service), randonnee edition maps (commercial, based on multiple sources) and the OSM hiking map available offline on my phone though OSMand.

I found the app the most accurate source. Though the other maps were better about displaying where guarded and unguarded mountain huts were.
Not so long ago, loudness was the stereotype of the English. Booming voices, conversations that felt shouted to their European neighbors, raucous laughter at their own jokes...

This sounds to me like Apple telling Intel. We plan to ship new MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac and Mac Pro after 2019 Keynote. If you don't deliver we will kick all of Intel's product out of our roadmap. Including the modem business, which although offer no profits value but lots of investor are looking at it.

> You want to sell a da Vinci? Well then you have to make private meetings with potential clients, and, you have to create ads that sell it as iconic.

That’s sales, not marketing. You wouldn’t bother to create ads for a Da Vinci, as the pool of people with the means to buy one is so small and the process of buying one is so convoluted. See also jet engines.

> You want to make people buy your brand of beer? Well you have to sell the story of it being generally accepted as a high quality brand.

The article is contesting that what you actually need is to make people aware of your brand at the moment they are about to consume one. The brand associations matter in this on some level, but are tangential. Stella Artois has completely different brand connotations in the US to the UK and EU for instance.

I think this attitude, from more liberal media, towards English is interestingly, alternative. I would say after WWII, in a post colonization world, learning English, is a self-conscious, choice. It means access to, not even arguably, the biggest/best/most up-to-date information pool, on this planet, and the economical opportunity comes with it.

As a Chinese national, I would sincerely say learning English is probably the best investment I made during my college, the ROI is incredible. Not to mention, since it is so pervasive, learning English is actually much cheaper than other languages, the barrier is much lower.

Whatever history behind it, English, for its current status in the world, should be considered as an asset for us mankind, that we are finally blessed a pragmatical global lingua franca.

While I support any effort to improve the situation of anyone being denied communication with their family, lowering the bullshit vendor costs of such a system seems like a cynical approach to what should be a human rights issue. The free market by definition can't operate on a population of a captured sub-population that can't weaponize their own capital to buy better rates.

We need to elect politicians that recognize the horrors inflicted upon incarcerated folks and their families and provide communication with family as a cheaply-provided right, not as a strange sub-contracted service provided within the silly prison economy.

I find it very strange that, according to this study, Millennials and Gen-Z have more faith in business leaders than in politicians. Maybe if they collectively went out to vote instead of staying at home (2016 US presidential election only had a <50% turnout for these groups), they could actually make a difference instead of continuously complaining about how politicians are allegedly ruining their lives.

I also fail to see how business leaders that neither have legislating power (besides influencing politicians, which I assume again counts against politicians) nor are interested in anybody not giving them money, could make the world a better place. E.g. Elon Musk, who is regarded by many as a visionary for a better world, is notoriously anti-union. He doesn't want a democratic entity in his businesses.

The gig economy (which both groups are apparently liking so much) is an absolute scam. Traditional businesses are getting "disrupted" by the deep pockets of SV VC money to push all (existing and working) competitors out of the market to establish a monopoly or duopoly. See Uber, Airbnb, various food delivery services, etc. which are continuously creating problems for their "workers" (that they insist they don't employ) or others around them (worsening the affordable housing problems like in Berlin and Amsterdam). People put themselves into these markets and lose everything their ancestors fought for, including 40h weeks, paid vacation, health insurance, paid sick leave etc. In the EU it's even worse where all those things and more are guaranteed to employees by the state to a much larger extend.

You can always tell a loser EE grad - he carries around one of those cards that has these formulae on it:

V = I * R
I = V / R
R = V / I

I.e. they don't understand the most basic equation in electronics, nor algebra. But they have EE degrees! Don't ask me how this is possible, I'm as baffled as you are.

When they "design" a circuit, they pull it out of a book. If it doesn't work right, they try randomly varying the values of the components until it sort of works. (Instead of calculating what the correct values should be.)
Using Gmail as a smart host defeats the point as mentioned in the root comment of this thread: Google can read your email.

Google also rewrites the "From:" address to your Google account's address, unless you jump through some hoops to add it to your account. This has become more difficult recently, and needs to be done for every address (which is an issue if you use single-purpose email addresses).
I owned an A500 and it's true I never called it a PC. However, the context appeared to me being a Hacker News thread — a place where I would not expect anybody to deny the Amigas were personal computers.

I have no problem calling Macs personal computers — because they are. The whole Mac vs. PC debacle was a misnomer if anything.
"Worse, the destination would say '250 OK' to every e-mail I sent them so I had no way of knowing that the messages had been sent to the big bitbucket in the sky. I got annoyed"

This. I go to a lot of trouble to follow all relevant RFCs, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS. My intent is to help other servers know I'm transmitting in good faith, I'm hopes I'll get the same fair shake.

If it's still not good enough for you, please at least let me know that fact, with a message I can investigate. At the very least, don't outright lie, which is what I take a bogus 250 to be doing.
Flash was good for games, and sure we don't really have anything comparable yet.

But that is irrelevant. The reason it was killed is because it was mostly used for video and it was really awful at that. Especially on mobile.
I think the key thing to keep in mind is that Flash gave you all of that from one vendor in a coherent, easy to make use of experience. We can certainly do the same things with JS and the technologies we have outside Flash, but it takes a lot of mental work to stitch it all together. You have to know so many frameworks. You have to know the type of frameworks you're looking for to do `x`. And then there's a lot of performance tuning because something done through canvas isn't as fast as something done with the DOM, etc. Flash was gross but useful.

I have no idea how the Chinese one was done.
To start, the US (Main HN audience) incarcerates 0.716% of its population. Add on family of those incarcerated, and prison rights immediately effect a sizeable portion of the population. Then there is the societal effects of how we treat those who are incarcerated. Prison is a punishment, but that does not strip prisoners of their rights. The punishment is that they are no longer free to go where they will. Enforcing that happens to come with other downsides, but no part of enforcement includes 'price gouging by state sanctioned monopolies'.

Now, HN isn't supposed to be political. This is where the tech angle comes in. The stuff about using free devices to peddle services. In this specific case, there is a state sanctioned monopoly that exacerbates the issue. Note that some of these services supplant others; meaning that inmates don't have alternatives.
Here in the UK, we have a chain of toy shops called Smyths that's been expanding as Toys R' Us was failing, and they just seem like so much nicer an experience that frankly it feels like good riddance. I believe they've also expanded to continental Europe by buying out some of the old Toys R Us stores.
This.

I absolutely cannot see why people still recommend IRC today for work use. It can pretty much only do text for the moment you're online and no we don't have time (money) to hack IRC to meet our needs.
Can you explain how that applies here? Are you saying that in the situation where China has tariffs it's optimal for the US to also have tariffs?

That's just not true. If the US government doesn't set tariffs then all the gains from trade on the US side go to the US traders. Since these people also set the price they will set it so as to maximise gains to (themselves and therefore) the US. So a US tariff can only hurt the US as a whole. This argument applies whether or not China has tariffs.
In the server/workstation space you can also opt in for an expensive Raptor Talos II system (but you'll get Power instead of x86). There is very little competition in the space for open/libre high end computer hardware systems.
It is fascinating how the whole thing is following the classical hype cycle. This and blockchain will tank, and, then come back at a later stage, hopefully, matured.

I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. I did my masters' thesis in 2004 using evolutionary algorithms. No ordinary person would talk to me about that, even worse, I was easily labeled an outsider and a nerd. Today, people having AI skills are the cool kids on the block. That's the good side of the hype: it's bringing all these nerd topics into the mainstream.

The genres you list are very popular in the English world. It's fine of course but to use that to argue for a supremacy of English language literature doesn't strike me as a very solid argument. It would be like saying that Comics are superior to Bandes Dessinees because you enjoy super heroes a lot. Or that American cuisine is the best because you love hamburgers, tex mex and slow cooked meat. Nothing wrong with that but it's very subjective.

The American cultural machine is also incredibly powerful so it can impose its themes everywhere around the world, which also leads to this optical effect, you end up using it as the yardstick to judge everybody else's cultural output.

Beyond that I find this entire thread discussing the potential superiority of English literature frankly odd and rather meaningless. Anybody who can take English, French, German, Russian, Japanese and, say, Chinese literature and pick a winner is frankly an idiot. How can you even begin to judge something like that? We're talking about centuries and centuries, thousands of notable writers, millions of pages, hundreds of genres, from poetry to plays to novels to biographies. Who wins, Jacques Prévert or Tolkien? Yukio Mishima or Isaac Assimov? Mikhail Bulgakov or John Grisham? Fernando Pessoa or JK Rowling?

Tolerance towards misuse of tense/plural, would be my guess. For example, oral Chinese doesn't distinguish between He/She/It, so we often mis{gender} people during conversation, though under the right context, it is clear what actual meaning is thus isn't really blocking effective conversation, but is not correct either.
I am a lawyer and a coder and I have to disappoint you that that hype is very real indeed.

The problem is two fold
a) Lawyers completely underestimated the decision making abilities of software even without AI
b) People who are not lawyers that completely overestimate the complexity of legal resolution.

(a) Happens because the software we lawyers use is basically... well... crap and most lawyers are clueless when it comes to technology, even ones that specialize on it.
(b) Happens because of TV and Movies have created this fantasy legal world where lawyer, especially expensive ones can prove that they are elephants because of their virtue to win arguments.

Surprisingly and this was also a surprise to me when I started to study law, law and coding is much closer than people think because there is a lot more logic than there is tv drama in a real court room.

Not only AI should not have problem resolving legal issues , judging from its current achievements, but it can help with the most valuable skill for a lawyer which is pattern recognition. Our profession bombards us daily with tons of data that is extremely hard to organize and keep track of. This applies more on civil than criminal law , but most of law is civil law anyway (economical issues), and this data is documents used as evidence, case law (court cases that have created a precedence) and of course legislation.

Also there is no much of an option really, AI is pretty much unavoidable because the ever evolving immense complexity of modern society has made legal resolution so complex that court cases take up to decades to be fully resolved which of course is not a viable solution.

An example is the IT law which has been a huge suffering for courts and legislators to keep up with its rapid evolution in a profession where court cases and legislations take decades to move forward. In IT decades are in legal terms , centuries.

AI will replace lawyers , for that I have no doubt, cause law is a dying profession anyway for the reason I explained above. Obviously lawyers will still be around for a long long time but yes AI will fundamentally change the profession. The profession is in desperate need of modernization as it has barely evolved that last few thousands of years.

The problem was never what AI can do, it can do amazing thing, the problem is supply and demand. AI is a field of huge demand and minimal supply but then this is a problem that has rampaged the coding profession which is why freelancer coders make more money than lawyers.

It leads to an echo chamber because the people calling for Twitter to clean up their house don't consider death threats, rape threats, etc done in the name of the correct liberal cause to be something that should be banned, and they have enough influence that Twitter often listens to them.
As I heard, it is mostly about heat. However, there is also a distance component. It takes an electrical signal about 3 * 10^-9 seconds to cross 3cm, about the size of a CPU. That is roughly one clock tick on a 3GHz processor. Add in 'fill time' (you need some time for the voltage to build and stabilize) and moving signals across a CPU becomes a challenge.
My speed calculations used the speed of a signal in a copper wire, not sure how the minute size and perhaps even angles of CPU wiring affect that.
Its more open than the OS example. There have been community discussions on many issues related to the language. The core team solicits feedback, and designs are often adjusted in light of that feedback. Consider type aliases:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/18130

Its also an example of the proposal process which is PEP like.

That said, changes like this are not decided by the community, but by the core team. Go is an opinionated language and far more ideas have been rejected than accepted. For example Ian Lance Taylor's 5 generics proposals: https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/15292-....

I get impression that people who are not that wealthy try to get into things that should be reserved for "high society". With Pareto distribution of wealth, most of us are just plebs. Of course we are not as poor as plebs in medieval but still we are vulnerable, one bad accident and professor is out of money and in debt.

If you are millionaire or from rich family you can spend all day reading ancient philosophers. That was what high society was doing in earlier days, they had money so they could "waste" time being unproductive.

Then you get all those kids and their parents who want to study something like philosophy. They feel like they are rich and their kids deserve degree. But brutal truth is if you are making $50k a year you might feel comfortable but it is still far from being rich. There are people who buy cars each year for that amount of money.

In the end it is not all about money as people say, but stories like parent comment shows the truth, first make your money and then if you have time and possibility follow your passion. Which is easier for rich because they already have money.

Tele.ga has more features (RSS, sitemaps, etc.) that I still plan to implement for Telepost. The disadvantage of it that is built on top of the Bot API that has limited abilities. For instance, Tele.ga can't fetch history of your channel (works only for new posts) or handle message deletion request. Telepost has close integration with Telegram; your blog will be complete and always be up to date. Also, Telepost also doesn't require adding a 3rd-party bot to admins of the channel.

Still, it sounds like google is walking a line with contractors; some roles/work make sense to have contracted out - but ones where they're working FT along regular hires, or managing a team? That's alarming.

I think more light can be shed on contractors in the major tech shops. Obviously google isn't alone in this practice.
