That kind of rubs me the wrong way, but I'm not sure why. I like having the option of overriding the doctor if I disagree.

Ask HN: Advice for a newbie on l10n and internationalization
Hi HN! I've been thinking about giving back to the community, as a happy user of a lot of free software, mainly Linux/Android, and it seems to me that I could be a decent translator (I'm spanish).

My current idea is to join the team of my Linux Desktop Environment (and follow their own guidelines, of course).

For Android (F-Droid ecosystem) I plan to use Stringlate: https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Stringlate/blob/HEAD/README.md

I'm asking for advice for a beginner, common pitfalls, good readings, good practices, and great stories on i18n & l10n.

Caveats: I'm not a programmer, hardly a family sysadmin, more like a regular user. I mean a regular Linux user, but still

Thanks for reading!
Pretty sure it was a fake thread for promotions.
It certainly feels to each person that they are in control of their decisions. However, there is strong, convincing evidence that people are easily influenced and often times can be led to make bad decisions. This is true for all of us. I’ve never had an inclination towards drugs but I know this has much less to do with my morality or lack of personal failings and much more to do with luck.

It’s ok to view addicts with grace and be thankful that the forces that led them to addiction did not affect me thusly. My failings happen to occur in other areas of life.

> The third parties (i.e., children or wives) that are killed in drone strikes are surely collateral damage.

Can you give some details about how you are certain that the death by drone bombing of Awlaki's 16-year-old son was collateral damage?

Keep in mind that Awlaki was targeted by drone two weeks before his son was killed. They are two separate drone attacks.

Exactly. Most MS degree programs in the US cost $5000 per course, and 10 courses are required. That's $50,000 in tuition, so $10K is a great price. GT's MS degrees are easily the most affordable grad degree from an elite school in America.
Addiction is a disease. And I also think it can be a moral failing to play around with addictive substances. I say this as one who has a long family history of addiction and who has struggled with his own addictions: I was wrong to get involved with certain things.

When I reached out to my parents my (normally quiet and ultra-supportive) mom’s first words were, “I thought you were smarter than that.” And her next sentence was, “How can we help you?”

Once someone is trapped preaching ceases to be helpful. But preaching the morality of good decision making to avoid the pitfalls of vice can help prevent people from entering the funnel.

My view is unlikely to be popular on this board, but I think your point is a classic example of the either-or fallacy.

I've read that some mining is done at a loss because it's a way of laundering money or exfiltrating money from countries with capital controls. Most large scale money laundering or exfiltration schemes are costly. A 20%+ before tax haircut is common, and then you usually have to pay taxes unless you want to go down like Al Capone. It's the cost of doing business.
Perhaps in a free, highly competitive market. But that doesn’t seem true in a state-controlled market like Chinese IT, where collaboration with the government is required. The CCP is free to pick winners and losers, intrude and interfere with little recourse for the companies who disagree with their decisions or end up on the wrong side of them.

At the end of the day the patients are the only ones taking the pills, no matter how you look at things.

It's personal responsibility first of all. I don't want to live in a world where I need prescription or permission to do anything that is potentially risky to my health. What happened to the idea that you are responsible for your actions? We already have too much prohibition and government picking and choosing what is and what isn't allowed in your life.
What is with scare quotes? It's a non-pharmaceutical method with only passive intervention (i.e., measurements and abstaining). The word "natural" seems at least as appropriate here as "organic" and "processed" foods; all of these are oversimplifications, but they communicate something that's not meaningless with reasonable fidelity to an unsophisticated user.

I understand most reporters are going to bring an existing set of political beliefs to the table, but I wish they felt a higher duty to present an objective account. (Like a judge.) This doesn't mean pretending there's no fact of the matter and all sides must be given equal time uncritically, but cooly assessing arguments is different than weaponizing the words on the page.
We are too stressed in the US. Our companies don't treat employees like people, treat them like automotas. No paternity leave, very very little maternity leave. 2 weeks vacation. We are working too hard and burning our selves out.

> Property taxes are awful and illogical

So are sales taxes, and income taxes are even worse than that. Which of those do you prefer, and for what reason beyond selfishness? Or are you one of those people who believe all taxes are bad, which is tantamount to saying all government is bad?
The second point here is the most important. I know a handful of real estate investors and one that is far away the most successful. He buys everything in cash. He has a contracting team on payroll that fixes whatever needs fixing so he's not immediately outlaying any additional funds to fix up a property, other than the opportunity cost of having those employees busy. He hasn't mortgaged a property in probably half a decade or more.

If he thinks a property will appreciate and make money, he will absolutely buy it and let it just sit on his books for a decade while the RE value increases and he waits for an opportune time to develop or rehab it.
So like a normal office, then? :)

Not at all.

States are sovereign, counties are lines on a map. The county that I live in is an artifact of a feudal Dutch patroonship and was 3x larger a 150 years ago. A county about an hour from me is the legacy of a land-grant to a revolutionary war hero and is mostly berfit of people. Why should a mountain be better represented than my family?

Apportionment of US Senators doesn't violate the constitution because it is explicitly referenced in the constitution. The Senate has always been a reactionary force in US politics, placed there to ensure the political power of the south -- since their population of "human chattel" would have limited their political influence. The openly corrupt nature of it's early makeup (ie. no direct election of Senators) was partially addresses via constitutional amendment. The legacy of the Senate isn't pretty -- it is directly responsible for the system of vigilante lynching that terrorized the south, for example.

What's ludicrous is replicating that legacy of regressive policy and difficult to hold accountable representatives in other layers of government.

It’s gotten to the point where doctors are no longer strongly pushing meeting all the RDIs for eating healthy and exercising if you’d otherwise be working, since (absent other risk factors) how much earning power you have at 35 is a better predictor of your total life expectancy than whatever amount of permanent damage you’d do to your body before then.
That’s what I meant, it’s (a type of) censorship, not surveillance.
How I Got Over $11,000 in Free Bitcoin
The anti-human sentiment in this context is generally referring to environmentalists who thought large amounts of clean nuclear energy would cause population growth beyond the carrying capacity of Earth wrt other resources. I doubt it's meant to be insulting.

1) Just because the fission chain reaction can be used as a weapon does not mean you should be anti-nuclear reactors. We've seen that lots of people can make nuclear bombs without having any reactors at all (just need some centrifuges) so why are we avoiding making clean nuclear energy (which has positive clean-energy attributes that mirror the destructive side) for a misplaced fear of weapons?

2) Temporary evacuations should happen in events like Fukushima and then people should be given the data on the dose rates at their home compared to scientific studies showing the likelihood of a dose rate causing them harm relative to other risks. I guarantee lots of people would choose to move home much sooner than they are if they had this information. Chernobyl is kind of another story because there was no containment on those reactors. Reactors should either have containments or be inherently stable designs. Chernobyl was neither. Still, climate change has the potential to cause much more damage than these accidents.

3) Waste disposal has several known responsible and appropriate technical solutions. We just need people to stop blanket-stating that it's a forever unsolvable problem so we can move forward like the Finns are doing [1]. Then there's deep-borehole disposal which is not developed but very promising.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onkalo_spent_nuclear_fuel_repo...

4) This is what the parent is talking about; the industry has been regulated and delayed by professional anti-nuclear intervenors for decades and then they always say: "Ha! Nuclear is bad because it's expensive and always has delays!" The industry itself could certainly do better (the Japanese and Koreans had/have been building plants in record time and on budget and are shocked when they hear US contractors sue each other on a construction site), but the cost overruns are not inherent to nuclear energy. That's a social thing.

5) Nuclear advocates definitely need to win trust; the carbon-free, super-safe energy source is currently less popular than straight-up burning oil. Anti-nuclear people need to catch up on some of the latest low-dose health effect studies if we want to talk about lying. The linear no-threshold model is what we've been operating on since inception and it's very conservative. As we've gathered more data, it makes sense to re-visit such models and see where the waste is in regulation and design.
I only use closed platforms like Facebook and Twitter when it's absolutely necessary (ie in case of Twitter, almost never).

Why would Twitter even block anonymous users from read-accessing its platform? Whatever the reason might be, it's not beneficial to me, the spirit of open communication or society in general.

This is like a newspaper that only makes a special version just for you, and won't let you peak at what other people are seeing. I don't believe they have anything good in mind. With Twitter they can't have so much control over your communications but they certainly try their best.

For the record, bandwidth is not a problem. Even including the massive amount of spam (2,400 tweets/day/account are allowed) and over 300M tweets per day, the total size of a daily non-compressed archive would be under 80GB, probably closer to 40-50GB pre-compression and less after that. It could be distributed as a single torrent with virtually no cost to Twitter.

"government administrators creating more and more regulations"

David Graeber makes the compelling case that corporations begat bureaucracy, which then metastasizes into government.

The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy http://a.co/ih4ixmv

Comparing the medical loss ratios of public vs private, single payer systems like Medicare vs private guarantors, seems to support Graeber's thesis.

Anecdotally, providers claim their overhead dealing with government is less than dealing with private insurance. I'd like to find some comparative studies.

TL;DR: Overhead in healthcare administration is driven by private insurers.

4. You can't compare GDP of countries to the effectiveness of their Social Safety net. It's not black, and white problem.

4. Might agree? Yes--living in America is very stressful.

5. Kinda agree. My county is the second most wealthy county in America. We are highly addicted, but seeing pricy doctors.

6.

7. Is the economy that much better? The long term unemployed rate is still staggering. Is the opioid crises worse, or just better reported? (Many doctors just cut off their pain patients when the shit hit the fan. I wonder how many former patients went to the street to procure drugs?)

8. You are comparing the Japanese culture to the American culture, in a few sentences?

9. Will not talk about about evidence in a rant? (And yes--this is a rant too.)

10. You got me on the suicide rate. I would move to Sweden if I had a do over. Then again, I had a ex, whom said the weather is beyond dreary.

Author of Pixelblaze here :)
FastLED is an awesome LED driver library with colorspace and fast math functions. I highly recommend it.

Pixelblaze is that plus a web interface, compiler, IDE, and pattern library all over WiFi. You can reprogram your work remotely without cables, and all real-time, or even on a phone. I found that quickly iterating I could get a better intuitive sense of the changes I was making and get the look I was going for with less hassle.

For apa102/sk9822 LEDs, the 32-bit math engine in Pixelblaze along with the HDR driver (5 + 8 bits) lets you get better color control at lower brightness levels and smoother transitions than what's currently in FastLED. I have a number of desk and/or nightlight projects that look just as good at 2% brightness, where with 8-bit per channel color you start to get extreme posterization and color mixes start failing.

Another slight advantage is that Pixelblaze uses a pipelined driver where pixel data doesn't usually need to be buffered before being send out to the LEDs. WS2812 are particularly sensitive, so there is a buffered mode for them, but for other chipsets Pixelblaze renders the pixel data just in time and doesn't require a framebuffer.

I feel like the key thing about a "growth oriented mindset" or some near-equivalent buzzword is that the normal state of affairs to not know things. This is the foundation (in Socrates) of our civilization.

What I've been trying to articulate here and there in the past few weeks that the object of intellectual development should be acquiring structured ways of not knowing. Rigorous mathematics is such a way: in basic analysis class you get red marks for thinking you know things you can't prove. The buddhism of the Heart Sutra is another: the Heart Sutra boils down to "we want to know big truths about emtpiness and suffering to transcend it and achieve Nirvana, but because of emptiness there's no way to know and nothing to know; therefore, recite these magic words because that's what wise men do". (It sounds like a scam, but it's really deep in how the argument is actually made in length).

This of course runs counter to beliefs in "ultratechnology" such that we'll soon soon craft our own transcendence. But eh, we shall fight in the shade.
