Not sure if your use case includes automatic rendering (new/delete/mods) when the underlying data changes. If it can be done automagically (via unique id in the data) that is a big win (aka, code I do not have to write). Things like shadow DOM et al, are not something I want to implement or maintain.

That's not academic research but that's R&D. And the React team has shown they're very thoughtful about what they're building.
Greece had the alternative of dropping out of the Euro and defaulting on their debts but even Syriza, a left wing party, when faced with that prospect, balked.

Greece's fate was sealed when they joined the Euro and started borrowing huge amounts of money that they could never repay, whilst also not carrying out structural reforms to improve tax receipts (like reducing some of the tax evasion in the country)

Their government appears to have decided that this path is "least bad". Not sure that I'd agree but I'm not in Greece to see the options first hand.

Edit: as I'm getting downvotes, I'll provide references :)

As Warren Buffet would say Facebook leaders need to start imagining seeing all their words and actions on the front page of WSJ and act accordingly. Nothing stays private. Say and do the right thing, don't play games.

This is the biggest corporate f'up I've seen in a while. Someone needs to own it and step down.
The other choice was to let the Greek govt default on its debts; there're almost 300billion reasons why Germany & France didn't want to do that...
I think a big problem in general with big corporates is that we are moving more in to the era where huge companies crush their competition just by having more data. The more data you have, the better user experience you can provide, killing competition, through which they start getting less and less data of their own, eventually dying out.

I guess in a way it's similar to having capital. If you don't have any money, it's hard to start a business. Similarly, if you have no data, maybe in the future it will be hard to start a business as well.

There's still a long way to go to reach that point, but I think we are seeing the start of it. For example, it's pretty hard to build an alternative to GMaps/Apple Maps. Even if you have a novel take on how mapping data could be used, you'd still first need the data to build the technology around it.

How do you fight that? Should it be fought? Or should we just accept it as a new requirement of building a business? In addition to starting with a good team (i.e. industry experts) and having money, you now need to immediately start building as wide of a dataset as you can.

Think of gases. You can describe them in terms of volume, pressure and temperature. But you know that they are in fact just a bunch of molecules bouncing around. There's nothing new about pressure, volume and temperature that can't be derived from rules of bouncing molecules. But we still value the description in terms of these high level qualities because they provide convenient shorthand for describing how a lot of bouncing molecules behave together.

Same way you can think about chemistry and physics, and biology and chemistry.

Reductionism just says that complex behaviors come from simple rules applied to large number of interacting parts and no additional magic whatsoever. Which makes it only way of looking at things that is grounded in reality, as confirmed by science.
I took a quick look at English / Swedish, and noticed that the Swedish version of Three Men in a Boat is badly encoded: the (vital) Swedish letter å has been consistently replaced with a. On the other hand, ä and ö seem to be present as expected.

So (based on a sample size of one), I'm afraid it doesn't look like the translations are necessarily reliable.
But it's the same belt for all three? I find it both fascinating and unsettling that there seem to be so many smart people that prefer and defends punitive action so reflexively that they will go to great lengths to give it the benefit of the doubt, even without ever doing some background research.

Austerity is a great example of this. They intentionally starved the Greek economy to make a political point rather than produce an economically rational deal. Yet, at every anecdata like, HN, The office lunch table, etc. too many assume with confidence they have only themselves to blame and parrot obvious propaganda about the lazy, barely working, tax-dodging Greeks that's applied to them all, bottom-up.
The most popular tokenizer for Japanese is probably MeCab. It can also give you readings, but in cases where the reading depends on the meaning of the sentence, it's about as likely to get it wrong as to get right. My current approach is to also use Kuromoji and compare the output so that I can at least notice which parts might be inaccurate.
It's unfortunate that pain is so damn complex. It seems possible that repeatedly oral exposure to capsaicin results in long-term neurological consequences (for better or worse) in addition to the local effects which are regularly discussed. But hey I'm no scientist.

I might give this argument a little more credence had the ”little belt tightening” measures not been so transparently politically motivated wealth transfers from the poor to the rich. Funny how ”belt tightening” always applies to the least powerful.
It would work better on poetry, where skilled translators themselves are poets and do seek to match up the verses; in parallel texts I own.
We do have a tool that does real paragraph matching based on the Gale–Church alignment algorithm and offline dictionaries. On top of that we have an additional manual process to make sure that the alignment is correct. However many of the books were pre matched and we didn't align them using our tool.

Nothing stops Greek government from defaulting. Just miss your next coupon payment, and viola.

But once you default, you have to balance your budget, because nobody will lend to you, and until 2017 Greece were running a deficit. Default would cause even more pain than so much hated austerity.

I am with you. I actually love gnome a little bit. To be fair, changed theme and two extension are essential for me. It's so awesome once you got accustomed to the shortcuts and UI idea. Typing everywhere, I can pretty much never leave the keyboard if I want to, BUT if I am lazy I can also never use the keyboard. Honestly there are so many good ideas there, I wish they would rework the core and default aesthetics, to achieve real greatness.

KDE on the other hand is somewhat fine, if you don't touch anything. Customizing opens hell. UI Inconsistencies, weird bugs, stuff drawn off screen, almost guaranteed... Horrible IMO.
That is because for an obstetrician the consequences of medical malpractice are profound and expensive. They are basically either killing a child or crippling that child for the entirety of their life. If the child survives their malpractice then that child will have a life that is much shorter, or much more unpleasant, than it needed to be if the obstetrician did their job correctly and the insurance company will be paying out big money to support that child for the entirety of that child's life.
Austerity stunts growth - it's only a short-term solution.

In your analogy, it only pushed the cliff further away. The cliff is still there, it's still as steep and still as high and we will still, inevitably, fall off it and suffer the consequences.

"We" (I'm Greek) as in those of us who haven't yet crashed- haven't yet been rendered homeless, or forced to live hand-to-mouth, supported by soup kitchens and community handouts and so on.
I keep a list of things that need doing. I use alarms to give me a heads-up when something is supposed to happen or I have to change tracks. Without an alarm, I would miss meetings, appointments, and possibly food breaks.

At the beginning of the day, I try to have one to three largish goals for the day. I might break those into milestones for each goal. Or if I have lots of little things, I might have it broken up as three goals for the morning, three during the early afternoon, and three at evening.

I subscribe to the don't worry philosophy. If I can't affect something, don't worry about it. If I can affect it, either chose to or not to do something about it and don't worry about it.

I deligate (and follow up - again, prompted by an alarm or calendar event) where I can. In my personal life, I'm lucky to have a great partner who shares in the load by handling most of the domestic stuff.

I avoid multitasking. It is a great way to do multiple things poorly. If I have to switch gears, I try to leave some notes to help pick back up when I get back to it.

Though I've fallen out of the habit, daily weight and cardio training helps so much. Planning on getting back to that today, as it so happens.

Take down time. Liesure is important. A game of billiards. Sitting outside watching the scenery change. Reading a fun book. Play a game, video or board variety. Meet a friend or few for some hanging out.

Yeah, we took those translations off of a pre matched corpora of books. We did, however develop later a system for automatic matching of translations, but unfortunately didn't get to use it
"There is no point in cutting healthcare spending for preventative services, for example, if those cuts result in higher long-term costs. "

By that logic the government should simply increase spending 10x on disability and everything will be great!

Everything has an ROI, everything has an efficiency.

Canada and Germany both went through massive austerity in the 1990's to re-tool their economies from massive debt overhang - and it worked. Both Canada and Germany emerged on reasonable footing.

I think arguments should be less about spending and more about efficiencies.

> The weird part is, the British public go along with this.

I don't think they're 'going along with it' - you're making it sound like they don't know what they want.

UK society doesn't have much of an anti-government movement like in the US, but low taxation and leaner governance is a pretty common, mainstream preference here. I think if you speak to a diverse group of voters in the UK you will find a lot of support for austerity and low taxation.

It's not even a Conservative thing! See my sibling comment for an example.

The NHS is a strong outlier in people's preference for extra funding. Child education is another. But for social security? I think the appetite in the UK is less than you think it is.
My local (Labour, not that it really matters) council has taken pride in not raising council tax for the last 5+ years. Yet inflation has pushed up wages and expenses and somehow they expect to maintain the same quality of local government. Impossible!
Back in my days working in Infosec at a bank, we had a naive filter on Internet bound mail looking for "bad words".

I had to review the blocked mails if there was a query about why it was blocked.

One time I came across a mail and couldn't for the life of me work out the reason, I ended up writing a script to match on the wordlist to find the problem.

Turns out the troublesome phrase was "Don't be too hard on yourself"

We updated the block list after that...

My guess is they just went with whatever was most convenient and worked. I doubt if this kind of questions were even on the radar. It's security research, not a production website. In research you tend to go with whatever tool does the job.

Look at the overall complexity of this work. Maybe the author simply felt more confident with Python 2. You take whatever shortcuts that make things simpler, even if it means using 20 year old software.
How much would, say a new Audi A4, cost you in Sweden?

Singapore is expensive because of the additional taxes that get added on to the base price. From what people (on HN in fact) have told me most Scandinavian countries levy significant extra taxes on car purchases.

So the $40k car might actually only be $15 to 20k in other countries such as Germany and Belgium?

Some folks I've talked to disagree but I think not an insignificant reason is ubiquitous usage of GPS and the internet (knowing precisely where to go and how to get there in the most efficient way possible).

EDIT: and then I figure another leap was the convergence of the two. gps/internet on cell phones.
No, they want the Internet non-power users (who use less than the price they pay for) subsidize other users so that they get more advertising revenue from power users.

I'm not sure that's the primary reason for people to disagree. A larger reason is that a smaller language has a smaller ecosystem, and solutions in a common language need to be completely rewritten to the new language.
This report is so horribly biased. The "austerity" in question is a decline in spending as a proportion of GDP since 2009, NOT actual cuts. That's normal when recovering from a recession!
Austerity is not 'punitive', nor is your assessment of the OP's comment as 'reflective' necessarily correct.

"They intentionally starved the Greek economy to make a political point"

Greeks are smart people, that they are begging for free money from Germany does not mean that Germany is 'starving' anyone.

"parrot obvious propaganda about the lazy, barely working, tax-dodging Greeks that's applied to them all, bottom-up."

It's not propaganda - or at least not the 'non tax paying' part.

Not only does Greece not have a functional tax system, they also demand to retire earlier with full benefits than workers in other nations.

The Greeks have nobody to blame but themselves.

Also when you say 'do a deal' what you mean is 'give Greece more free money' - i.e. throw good money after bad.

The Germans would in fact, do a deal with the Greeks if they instituted proper economic reforms, by the way, which would not necessarily have to include austerity, but would definitely have to include reform of the tax system, possibly tourism industry etc. etc..

But Greece cannot do that, they are not functional enough to pull it off.

The easiest option would be simply to devalue their currency, which they cannot do ... which might give you a clue as to the real source of economic Imperialism that is the Eurozone.

Countries that cannot keep their books straight for whatever reason, but are otherwise functional, may have an intrinsic need to devalue their currency. It might be the best way for them to move forward - but the EU does not allow for that ...

... so maybe the Eurozone should be more of a 'trade zone' and less of a currency/political union, as so many people would like.
It is a base unit, a unit for lots of stuff, and it is not dimensionless it is 6*10^23/mol
It's a strange world where rising public sector spending as a % of GDP is looked at as horrific spending cuts.

People are blaming the wrong thing - it's long age which is causing this. Even though spending is rising, it's not rising 'fast' enough to keep up with the giant bill senior citizens are creating for the NHS and DWP. As the govt has massively ramped up NHS spending and locked pension rises at a historicallg high level, it means every department that isn't catering to this is seeing larger cuts.

Not really sure if just endlessly rising public sector spending to cope with old age can work long term.
Which is why it should be conserved for as long as possible to lubricate an electrified world.
