I'm a native English speaker who learned Spanish, and some Russian & Esperanto.

I'm thinking about Esperanto. Perhaps most relevant to this discussion is its benefit of being by far the cheapest workable global route to everyone being able to talk to and understand each other, even if haltingly. For some people, learning English is simply too hard. For the rest, it's still a very big effort, and Esperanto is extremely easy by comparison. In terms of global cost/benefit, Esperanto seems like a big win. (And it's fun.)

Further, I have started thinking that Esperanto should be everyone's 2nd language, simply because it's so easy to learn yet seems ~"complete", and more importantly, has been shown to make learning other languages easier to the point that overall you learn, say, more French (or probably English) if you learn Esperanto first, than if one spent the entire time studying French. So learn whatever you would have learned as a 2nd language, for the 3rd, and you saved time and got farther, overall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Third-language_acqui... [wikipedia.org]). And it seems to me the easiest way for someone to better understand the grammar of their own native language, by seeing a simple & clean example. (Some in one forum I saw dismissed the studies, but when I read the dismissals it seemed a case of believing what you want, with the studies being more persuasive to me as they put much more work into it, but I would be interested in more info.)

(I don't think most users see it as a replacement for a first (or native) language, though that has been done intentionally by some (per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Esperanto_speakers [wikipedia.org], or search https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto
for "native").

(There are other interesting constructed languages each with their pros & cons, but none with nearly the same amount of traction or interest as Esperanto. It's interesting to consider, given all that has been learned in the field so far, how to "optimize" a constructed human language, considering various factors like ease, familiarity, beauty, efficiency, computability, or whatever one sees as most important. ... )

Claude Piron made an interesting/enjoyable video, I think in different languages, showing some benefits of Esperanto. Here is the one in English:

(edit/ps: I hope to use Esperanto when my personal organizer gets the ability to use multiple languages for the same "knowledge". AGPL: http://onemodel.org .)
(pps: had i noticed the "more" button I would have realized others in the discussion already wrote about this.)

Apple Is Closing a Deal for Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits
Specifically,

"Before Christie’s sold Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi in 2017, it staged high-profile public exhibitions of the painting around the world, and made an expensively produced video to showcase it – in effect, an ad. On the face of it, all this activity was a flagrant waste of money: almost nobody who consumes the marketing for a da Vinci is in the market for it. Christie’s salespeople knew all the potential buyers personally. They can, and did, visit them in the privacy of their penthouses.

"Yet Christie’s realised that those buyers would pay an extra few million for the privilege of owning a painting that was “iconic”. This isn’t some quirk of billionaire art collectors; it’s human nature. We value things more highly when we know that others value them."
"Regulations are written in blood."
That was more likely flagged due to the MeToo topic and not the China topic.
It's completely absurd that anyone would choose IBM or Oracle, but having heard first hand the sales pitch that IBM cloud give you I understand it a bit given that a lot of people with decision-making power don't have enough tech expertise to detect nonsense and FUD when they hear it.

In my case, the guy spent half the pitch flat out lying to me about AWS and how Amazon charges etc. (sample lie "They basically don't let you transfer any data out once it's in the cloud"). I let him go for quite a while before I revealed that I actually know what I'm talking about and calling out his bs ("Gee that's pretty weird because I host quite a few servers in AWS and I'm able to get data from them just fine. I wonder how that works?")
Super easy to wrap into futures or IO to make it asynchronous. It is scala afterall, not python
The pendulum effect. Cultural change typically tends to go first too far in one direction then retreat and go too far in the other direction. Repeat every few decades. And maybe not fair to say it swings equally in both directions. Long-term progress is made but it tends to happen in a series of over-reaches and then pull backs.
How are variables in "<p>{text}</p>" replaced? Is the security of it just an implementation detail left to the programmer who use it? Safe way would be finding the P and then doing p.textContent = data. But how do you find element by value efficiently? Or do you just to text replace?

That's the problem isn't it -- fake news is generated for the people who want to believe it. Censoring it won't make them suddenly become rational.
I've never been a fan of paredit, but paredit, smartparens, and lispy are all far more powerful and (for me as well) more intuitive. I agree that parinfer deserves credit for being widely available for different text editors and for being fairly easy to pick up. I do think that the method is unnecessarily complicated though. When "paren mode" was still necessary, I think it was a much poorer choice for a newcomer than it is now.
OLED is also capable of going much dimmer and retaining contrast than LCD. Something I’ve always been jealous of Galaxy phones for.
This doesn't answer my question.

Then they shouldn't use Google for military projects, which Google has already said they won't pursue (AI for weapons). But DoD =/= military, and if you are equating them here then you ignored what I wrote and are making a blanket statement rather than analyzing the specific case.
I'm extremely sensitive to screen brightness. I can't leave auto-brightness on, it just never picks the right level of backlighting. Using multiple monitors was extremely annoying until I made a keymapping to change the faux-brightness of all three monitors at the same time.

F.lux is great. I keep a MacBook around solely for Darkroom mode, it's the only way I can use a computer at night without it messing me up the next day. I can't really use my phone for anything anymore other than playing Threes on Dark mode, it's just too bright. I reach for the MacBook if I want to browse Quora or HN. What sucks is that I can't just leave f.lux in Darkroom mode, I always have to switch it on.

There's a 'flow' I can get into at night, if it works right, I can stay awake and aware and intellectually engaged, without sleeping, and the next day I don't feel sleep deprived. It's a bit of a moving target, this last week I've been sleeping really hard.
But that's not necessarily interoperable. E.g., some JSON parsers might produce IEEE754 doubles, but others might use arbitrary precision representations -- what then? One answer is to make JSON support only IEEE754 doubles, but it's a bit late for that, so at most one can recommend that implementors stick to IEEE754.

If you are starting from scratch, and want to support only platforms that support IEEE754 in hardware, and so on, then yes, just serialize the raw bits.
I would really love to hear more about this.

"Imagine we scored you as a likely alcoholic because people with a case history like yours indicated a high risk of alcoholism. So we start taking preemptive measures and the entire system grinds into gear, partly trying to prevent you from falling to the bottle but also preparing for if you do. You really wouldn't want to interact with a public system that's put the wrong label on you, trust me."

That's exactly the sort of specific example that is missing from the stories about ML doing things like encoding existing biases.
It was also made because quite a few services used RSS feeds for uses like auto posting bots and what not, where they got information from a blog/news site and posted about on their forums/social media service. In those cases, you didn't want it to post the full article.

Yes, that's correct.

We have a portfolio of hundreds of applications, and needed to make sure every one worked OK on IE 11 before upgrading from IE 9.
Don't you think that the amount of people being victims in #metoo are just louder because they can be on twitter and tweet #metoo? Silencing them wouldn't bring your topic up because it's doing a bad job at promoting itself already (how could they?). It would just bring up other topics that promote them self.

Of course being a dick about it, doesn't help the issue either.
Parinfer seems popular in the clojure community (even among those who have been writing it for a while) and among people new to lisp. In its favor, parinfer's listed selling point is simplicity and not power. I don't think it does simplicitly perfectly, but I think it does it better than paredit, for example.
High-profile scandals always have more impact than atrocities against poor people. Not saying it's right, but that's the way it is.

It may seem unfair, but I think the reason I would give as to why it isn't is: you have to pay for that source of data. Using satellite imagery to analyze sales, imho, sort of falls into the same area where HFTs pay for feeds from exchanges so they can take advantages of widening gaps in bid/ask spreads.

When it comes to insider trading, it really seems to boil down to: did I obtain the information in a way where no outsider would have possibly done so? With your example, it certainly seems possible that other groups could perform the same analysis. So as you said, it wouldn't be insider trading.

I think another one of the aspects of insider trading is _certainty_. If you're an insider, and you know your company is going to miss earnings, the likelihood of you making a wrong bet are near 0. If you're analyzing imagery of parking lots to see if sales at Wal-Mart are going up, theres still a non-insignificant chance that you could bet wrong. Maybe the reason theres so many cars it that they are running promotions that actually don't increase revenues in an expected way. Maybe there aren't any cars because people are taking public transit. When you're an outsider, theres way more variables that go into your trade, compared to when you're an insider and its a simple question of "how will this information about my company get reacted to?"

Insider trading is probably one of the most interesting aspects of modern finance. As you can probably tell, I take most of my information from Matt Levine (he gets linked here pretty often, but his column is Money Stuff on Bloomberg (also an email newsletter so you don't use up your free articles))

Again, not an expert, take everything I say with a healthy pinch of salt.
Your views are compiled down to JavaScript beforehand. Your example would be compiled to something like:

The disruption to business is sufficient for blanket mistrust. This is referred to as reputational harm. The ethical and legal considerations are fully investigated by both parties before the contract is inked. In business parlance this is called due diligence.

Speaking from a contractual perspective what does a customer care about the service provider's employee motivations? How would the customer reach into the confidential internals of the service provider's office to qualify or answer that question?
So, you think the Chinese culture is “decades behind” the American culture? That sounds racist to me.
This is standard kit on most machines I administrate - it has a really great variety of summaries in addition to standard `top` output - but it''s all colorized.

It also has a remote mode so that you can page through a group of remote systems from a single infrastructure system.
As a misophonia sufferer, the acoustics of loud restaurants have, at times, caused me to walk out and eat elsewhere. If I was with company when this urge to leave happened, I would squirm and wince in my chair, toughing it out. The worst offenders to my ears are piercing, sibilant s sounds and low, loud, bassy voices. I circumvent 90% of my discomfort by wearing Airpods emitting a low dose of white noise.
> What is the endgame for companies like Twitter and Facebook? ... Is it not acceptable that they're making money?

The difference between Twitter and Facebook is that Facebook can make money.

In case of Facebook, it would be like:

"Can you get more users?"

"Nope, we already have the whole planet. However, we can squeeze more money from them. The users already accept that their timeline is created by an arbitrary algorithm. So we can make them bid against each other for appearing in their friends' timelines. If you want your mom to see your photo from holidays, you can pay $1 to make sure it happens."

In case of Twitter, it would be like:

"We already have the whole planet. We can ruin people's careers, or drive them to suicide, more than any other web service."

"Great, but can you make some money? For the shareholders, you know."

"Uhm... if we started charging people for using our service, most of them would leave, so..."

"In that case, no more money from me."
This is great! One question: when would you need 60 FPS in a terminal? What CLIs or usages does this make a difference for?
If you use a lot of bandwidth a CF sales person contacts you and tells you it’s time to pay.

And it’s not cheap. More expensive than Fastly in our case (though we went with Google CDN and saved a bunch of money and got better performance).
I switched from iTerm to Terminal about a year ago, since I am using tmux for multiplexing and emacs for file management with magit.

I don't really miss any iTerm features. Have to look up what's new!

In this bubble. I think a lot of people here would probably be surprised how many automobile purchasers have never even heard of Tesla--or at least are only vaguely aware it's "that electric car company."
It seems important to you to prove that certain products are objectively bad, and the people who like them are somehow wrong to do so. Why? Tastes differ.

Are you aware of the fact that your computer runs a lot of scary code that you can't see anyway? Do you audit the firmware of your drives?
Then there is this:

"[In a recent article for the New York Times, the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci] found the same pattern on non-political topics: videos about vegetarianism led to videos about veganism; videos about jogging led to videos about ultra-marathons. The stakes were always being upped. YouTube, she concluded, was a “radicalising instrument”. That isn’t, she says, because YouTube’s engineers are zealots. It’s because Google (YouTube’s owner) is selling attention to advertisers, and its algorithms have learnt that the best way to keep people hooked is to push ever more extreme material on them."

It's pessimistic, since by design it can only get worse.
Thanks for d information.

>> People only voted for Trump because they were 'tricked'.

This narrative implies we lack free will and is really insulting to people. They’re using fear to position the reader as a potential victim who should continue reading their articles to avoid a similar fate.
Is there somewhere we can view the feature roadmap for this? Will iTerm2 support ligatures at some point in the future? I'm also interested in future performance enhancements, and a comparison to terminal.
>Why not focus our helpful energy on...oh, I Don’t know, the armies of people living like animals, defecating in the street and wandering downtown San Francisco naked with severe mental wellness issues?

Because this is California. Why bother with all that when I can just get back in my financed Mercedes which costs equal to a mortgage payment in Iowa, drive back to my gated community of postage stamp houses, then go to the mall and forget about it?
Agreed on using standard terminal. I’d like if someone could explain what utility they get out of iTerm (or any other non-builtin terminal).

I’ve found the performance of iTerm in particular to be far inferior to builtin, especially when the buffer grows large. iTerm even has a fixed buffer size by default and still has worse performance.

Alacritty is supposed to be fast, but then doesn’t support any scrolling, has a poor window resizing flow, and doesn’t have tabs. The suggestion is to use tmux for all that, but then Alacritty+tmux is slower than builtin.

- “performance” above means smoothness of scrolling and general “perceived performance” type things. Haven’t actually tried any real tests.

Looks well designed, and Li Haoyi generally writes great software. Still, it seems the main use case for this lib is “simple, synchronous API where you don’t care about concurrency.” Personally, I wouldn’t use Scala at all for these problems. I use Scala a tonne in high load services, that make 100s or even 1000s of requests per second - for these, Play WS with it's non-blocking IO works great. For projects where small, simple, and synchronous makes sense, I personally reach for Python, not Scala.

I still think this is a nice library to have, but I don’t see it becoming big. It’s serving a use case that I think most people aren’t trying to satisfy when writing Scala.

For one example, see https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy/

The author has a similar package for python, but it is not as powerful because of python's syntax.

If you want to transform the error on it, you can either:

1. Define a conversion between the two errors that adds the context.

2. Use .map_err() at the callsite to do the transformation there.
I think this is true. I would have to look to find a case where this was what happened, but I would be surprised if such a case did not already exist.

I think this situation is much more difficult to find and enforce, however. As an executive, you have to file with the SEC for share purchases (I believe its either a certain number of shares or a certain $ amount bought/sold. I also believe the form is form 4)

So it becomes a matter of figuring out when the senior exec knew the information and traded on it, and I think its a bit more difficult to enforce because its not your typical insider case.

I like your example, because it really hits at the edges of what is material non-public information.

Something that just occurred to me: if you are a senior exec, your compensation is probably tied to share ownership in $ME. Even if you trade on $THEM, and make money, you're probably going to take a pretty substantial hit on your own $ME holdings. This isn't to say its any less fraudulent/misleading, but its an interesting thing to consider.

I wish I had a better answer to this scenario.
It supports them now. I use fira code.
There's a strong recency component.

Indeed, following 9/11:

* Delta, Northwest, United, and US Airways filed for bankruptcy

* New York City lost $320m in tourism revenue

* New York City jobs were cut by 450,000 and wages by $2.8b over three months

* Even unrelated tourism was affected.. I lived near Orlando, FL, and the entertainment parks were near ghost towns for weeks.

Assuming Europe stops the regular cadence of large Islamist terror attacks, this fades from memory and in a decade everything is back to normal in the public mind.
I'm sorry, it still sounds like woo.

There is a correct answer. You can't wave your hands and say we may not ever really know and that's that, be happy with the mystery. That you'll believe what you believe and I can believe what I want to believe. That's not actually solving anything. That's not answering the question.

It's avoiding the question. If I ask you to prove your claim, saying "it doesn't need a resolution" is just dodging.

You're even engaging in a type of "argument from experience" where you casually infer that you were once like me, had all these questions, but were convinced. It's a way to try and get me to accept your conclusion without demonstrating your process. But if your process is flawed, then we must question your conclusion.

I mean you emphasize that it has taught you things and made you aware of things you weren't before.

But that's vague. Non-specific.

And if the tulpa is simply a mental construct that's not a distinct personality, then your statement that it's more aware than you are is just wrong. You just don't think you're as aware as you are. And when your perception of self disagrees with your observed self, you assign those differences to your "tulpa".

I mean, I talk to myself. I argue with myself. I will construct mental models of people to look at issues and problems from various angles. Try and imagine what someone who is not me might say. So I can try and better prepare against criticisms or find issues I may not have considered yet.

But I'll never claim those fabrications are completely independent of myself. That they're thinking independently. They still are only as knowledgeable or aware as I am.

I mean the real crux of the issue is that one of the better ways to demonstrate your tulpa would be to find a way to show that it has thoughts that you cannot have. But we can't just trust your word that it does. We need to find a way to present it information that you cannot know, then find a way to show that it received the information. But without you knowing about it. Then we need to confirm that you actually don't know the information. Then we need you to learn the information and demonstrate that you have. Basically we need a way to show a demonstrable gap between the time we give the information to the tulpa and to when you get the information.

Why do you think I would feel there is something wrong with it?

There is a failure mode where someone uses others’ willingness to trust their vote advice as a manipulation tactic, but in my original comment I suggested the idea of vote copying as a positive strategy in the case when you feel ignorant but don’t want to abstain.

> “If the majority of the population is to dumb to make good choices, the problem isn't that the voters are bad voters, the problem is that the state is a failed state.”

I agree, but that does not imply the ignorant people, who were failed by the state, should project that ignorance into voting rather than abstaining.
In terms of gender equality, yes, decades behind. Don’t make generalizations that the OP didn’t make.
