I'm sorry, but I just don't get it.
I'd say I'm pretty interested in languages but as English is not my native language I guess I forgot most of the grammatical technical terms that don't map to the German ones I kinda remember.

I think some example sentences (with translations) at the start would go a long way (Not 6 different ones, just some.. explanation of the currently shown one). Maybe it would also help if you fixated the example sentence (e.g. via css) so it's visible while scrolling. I don't speak Turkish, so I suppose I'm bad at remembering the whole sentence while scrolling down and reading the rest (not so much a problem for the first paragraph)

So I see how this could be cool to play around, I lack a bit of motivation as I don't understand the differences, and maybe a translation that changes (or not!) with the users' settings would help. Might also be that I'm tired and currently surrounded by people speaking Spanish and my mind isn't able to focus on yet another language ;)
I received few marketing emails related to a topic that I had mentioned only in a Simplenote note and also started seeing online ads for few days. It might just be coincidental but since then I have moved to Notes.app temporarily and I am looking for a replacement - a third party minimal and private note service.
I was introduced to probabilistic programming by Frank Wood and Brooks Paige at DARPA’s PPAML program, and they are excellent teachers. Highly recommend this resource! Anglican is a great language embedded in Clojure so this is particularly good for those on JVM
But do you really find going around telling people that they're not going to win the lottery makes them stop playing?"

Not 100% successfully, but of course it helps. Why don't you go around and ask some people why they don't play the lottery?

I think such advice misunderstands the psychology of why people gamble on very long odds.

It's why I don't gamble. It's why lots of people don't gamble. People aren't completely rational, but they're not completely irrational either.

Helping people put understand the true odds of what they're engaged in is a good thing.

What do you have against people knowing the facts?

Where did the data catalogue come from?
The interesting part of this to me is that if you read the details the FCC published about the order that was signed, https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-347927A1.pdf it goes into great detail about the court cases about why the FCC has no authority to effectively regulate net neutrality unless the ISP's are classified under Title 2.

(This is true, in fact, and the court cases it cites and the DC circuit have been clear on this point for years)

The order then reclassifies the ISP's outside of Title II.

Outside of the arguments around privacy jurisdiction (which were always dual jurisdiction with the FTC), i don't know what they are thinking.

Given that the courts have already decided the FCC has no authority to regulate in this space (outside of Title II), and Ajit himself has said it numerous times, arguing pre-emption seems like a loser. If they don't have the authority to regulate around it, it's hard to see how they will argue they have the right to pre-empt others: all the court rulings involve determinations about the scope of the statutes involved, which in turn is a valuation of what congress intended to regulate/how far pre-emption goes.

It'll be interesting to read the complaint to see what leg they are trying to stand on.

Besides the existing court cases making super-clear the lack of authority, just the sheer the number of statements and orders from Ajit saying the FCC has no authority here seems like it will be hard for the FCC to overcome.

They would have been much better off saying "we have plenty of authority here and we explicitly choose not to exercise it"
Native Turkish speaker here, interesting project. I think it'd be interesting to think about which of the selections don't make sense (somehow filter them out?). Say, I chose "accusative" and "personification copula" + "alethic modality" and it gave me "Abbasi asikti." which doesn't really mean anything. In fact, it's confusing because "-i" could also be used for genitive and thus "Abbasi asikti" sounds like "his/her Abbas was in love" (so genitive -i instead of accusative -i). I wonder why accusative doesn't really fit there.
I found it quite helpful if practiced regularly.

No worries. It happens all the time.
Small world. Yeah, the Kickstarter was good. Not good enough to finish the game as full-time work unfortunately, but that was my bad estimating of how long things would take.

The experience on it got me another good job when I needed to go back to work on something that'd actually pay money, but I still want to finish it (for the people that have bought into it, and for myself), so I'm doing bits when I can. Working on a hopefully fun singleplayer mode that'll help alleviate the fact that there's no-one on the multiplayer.

Should've coded it in Umajin. ;)

I think the content is solid on average, but there are some challenges here with how/when to connect figures (really, this seems like an impossible task). For instance, Mackie's denial of moral facts is a disagreement with quite a lot of people (ditto for Hobbes' contention that we are just machines). I was similarly surprised to see that Ramsey's connection of justification to reliable belief formation had no connections to reliabilist epistemolgy in the late 20th century.

As far as the individual sentences, I didn't go through everything, but I thought the gloss of Sellars on the given was not on target. Also, did Anscombe really think that we needed new values for a secular culture? She was a devout Catholic, and frequently wrote from a Catholic perspective.
But is standing out _just_ marketing? Or is standing out something that requires originality in idea (as well as marketing to allow buyers to see the originality)?
When angular 2 was released and I noticed that I had to re-learn angular I changed frameworks as I thought it was more work than learning react.

FWIW my 'wrong side of history' comment was meant facetiously, nobody can know what the right side of history is until long after. Though in your specific case, I'd say they were, hopefully their day will come.
I wonder how the business that I conduct with my ISP is "interstate commerce." The wire connecting my house to my ISP begins and ends in my state. As I understand things, it's the speed of data running up and down that wire that net neutrality seeks to protect.
It's easy for the cloud providers to track, explicitly against their terms of service, and nothing prevents them from turning off both the seller and receiver's accounts for this.

Other than that it's a swell idea...

> Smaller websites already make no money on the web. Nothing in my scheme prevents them from explicitly requesting money or whatever else.

It's definitely difficult for small sites to make money off of ads (although there are some that have been able to do so), but I don't think this is the right solution for that, either.

> I wouldn't let ISPs refuse to contract with content providers. They'd have to carry all content, and they'd have to distribute their profits according to whatever scheme we come up with.

Even if the ISP is required to contract with you, just getting a contract with all of the ISP's is going to be a huge hurde. There's tons of providers in the US alone [0], and many of them will likely want a formal contract rather than offering a simple sign-up form. If you have visitors in other countries, it gets even harder, since now you have to worry about taxes, currency conversion, etc.

Most likely, you'd end up with some kind of "micropayments-as-a-service" company that would do it all for you in exchange for taking a percentage, but that still feels like it shouldn't be necessary.

> My hope would be that by recategorizing ISPs as "dumb pipes" all of these problems go away.

I'm not sure it's possible to make ISP's "dumb" while also giving them control over how the money is distributed. In theory, you could make a really exact specification for how they have to count views, how they have to make deals, and how they have to distribute the money, but I'm guessing that there's always going to be loopholes that they can take advantage of. Particularly in the US, ISP's have a history of being monopolistic and engaging in shady practices - I doubt that's going to change once they're given more control over how websites operate.

Yeah, a guy I worked with was from Saudi Arabia, he noted that most people wanted to get a comfortable government job and ... not do a great deal.

monetDB is a sort of drop-in replacement for a regular database with all expected features and good compatibility.

On other hand ClickHouse will be incompatible with most of existing tools and it's better to learn well its limitations and workaround technics in advance. But once you dump into it substantial amounts of time series data you'll find it 10+ times faster and 2-3 times smaller than monet.

Right, I'm moreso curious about the validity of the conspiracy theory.
Legally, it's "piracy" (infringement) if you acquire copyrighted material from those who aren't licensed to distribute it, even if you already own a legit copy.

Morally and practically speaking, there is no harm, and it's almost indistinguishable from a non-infringing self-made backup copy (unless there are tags indicative of being a pirated copy), but legally there is technically a difference.
That's an argument straight from the 1960s-1970s. Creating jobs 'at all costs' is definitely not the answer and should not even be an option.

I smoked for many years (over a decade ago) and I was under the impression at the time that the filters on my Camels were cotton wrapped in paper. Still litter certainly, but nothing that wouldn’t biodegrade. Not that it matters now, but maybe people are just ignorant? Either way, if I was still a smoker I assume this would be one more reason vaping might be more appealing these days. Less mess and smell.
You're right, that is an example of an awkward or inappropriate use of a first name.

Rhetoric from the current administration and 'news' agencies.
Uppercase Liberal politicians and their education wizards (those who forgot liberal values, but would rather inflict collective punishment as a "solution") had forced bussing of kids in Northern California in the 80's and 90's. I had to ride the bus for an hour and a half each way, three hours total per day, because there were "too many" whites and Asians at a better school one block from where I lived. And I got to deal with gangs (XIV and XIII), drug dealers and far worse. Getting up at 4:15 am and not getting home until after 5 pm... at 8-11 years old. Affirmative action, my left foot.

I'm a backer, and am now very used to non-delivery after backing hundreds of projects as a gamer on Linux. The non-delivery of projects, either complete failure or just failure to deliver to Linux, is probably around 20% or so in about 100 projects backed.

As a FOSS proponent I'm obviously biased in this, but I believe failed projects have a duty to release source to the backers in some way. In a perfect world, the community will help carry the project over the line, but worst case at least the backers receive something of value and can do with it what they will. It doesn't matter if the original developer has concerns about levels of quality or completion.

Please see this both as a general comment to the community, but also a plea directly to the developer in this particular instance.

Algolia: "No stories matching by:dang community identity"
If you are going to hire someone to promote your site it's important that they know the details about how to use each site without getting flagged as spam.

For example, the ShowHN have a few rules https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html . In particular, the submitter must be the creator/owner/developer of the site. Did you create this site? Or ryaheybourn? Or joshabrahms? Or heybournry? Or jasharland?

Also, the hn users must be able to try the site. It's not very clear but I think that it means that the site must have a free tier or some kind of sample.

And also remember to avoid oneliners in HN. You can break this informal rule, but it's more safe to write a longer comment.
His framework for how to think about bringing a product to market is what I found most valuable.

What's the competitive environment? Who is the customer (in the most specific sense)? How will the product compete against other offerings? How is it priced relative to the competition? How do you talk about the product - i.e. communicate its value? How does one think about growing the market for the product?

These are questions any product or brand need to answer, regardless of size.

The article omits the Redmonk ranking [1], which is imho much better than TIOBE. The Redmonk approach uses github and stackexchange as complementary data sources, and shows a two dimensional main result.

The top 20 in the Redmonk ranking are

1 JavaScript
2 Java
3 Python
4 PHP
5 C#
6 C++
7 CSS
8 Ruby
9 C
9 Objective-C
11 Swift
12 Scala
12 Shell
14 Go
14 R
16 TypeScript
17 PowerShell
18 Perl
19 Haskell
20 Lua

Considering how different languages occupy different niches, the relative ranking withing niches seems reasonable. And ranking across niches scales according to size of the niche.

Client-side web scripting is a huge niche, hence javascript is in the top spot. General purpose desktop/server applications are another huge niche, served by Java, C#, C++, C, Scala, Go (in that order). And so on.

It seems pretty sane, and the results have been stable enough to interpret the rise of upcoming languages and see the resilience of top contenders.

Would it be possible to content providers to send a URL to Google basically saying I made this, here's a timestamp to prove that you actually released it first, and whoever copies it and backdate it won't have any reliable proof they actually did publish it first?

Whenever I publish something I made, I submit the URL to the Wayback Machine so if it gets hugged to death at least there's a public copy somewhere else.

BrainNet: A Brain-To-Brain Interface for Direct Collaboration Between Brains
Wickard v. Filburn

It is considered interstate commerce to grow wheat on one's own farm to feed one's own animals under the theory that by doing so, he removed himself from the interstate wheat market (where he would otherwise have bought his wheat).

Since the internet plays a major role in interstate markets, one could easily extend this arguement to say that even local internet connections are interstate commerce.

One could actually argue that most anything is interstate commerce. This is one of the main reasons we don't hear courts arguing that federal laws overstep the constitutional authority of the federal government: everything is interstate commerce.

Can't comment on Unity but Unreal4 definitely allows this, although you may have patch the engine source or implement your own base classes etc. I would imagine Unity is not that much different.

See Astroneer for an example of this, the planets surfaces (which are deformable by the way) are procedurally generated, even if they are deployed from a kind of template specifying the parameters.

UE4 has a ProceduralMeshComponent for this sort of thing, not to mention procedural foliage component etc.
Not OP, but legally you have to claim asylum in the first country you arrive in, continuing further to get to a more desirable country makes you an economic migrant, not a refugee. For example, if someone flees from Syria, they can legally only claim asylum in the first country they enter, continuing on to Germany, UK, France, etc. means they legally aren't refugees as soon as they leave the first non-Syrian country they enter. That's probably what OP is talking about, if someone flees a country because they think their life is in danger, they shoudln't be allowed to travel though multiple safe countries and apply for asylum once they get into a country with better social benefits.
