It's not necessarily the only wallet a criminal has access to, and most people don't draw on their savings account all the time.

Uh, cite for that? Sorry, that's ridiculous pedantry. It's very reasonable to call the thing an airship, or an aeroplane (something done in the article only once, and in the context of a sourced quote justifying the distinction no less). I'm aware of no dictionaries or professional categorizations this article violates. It's a device that spans the boundary, and the article is literally about that, as the technology is (well, sorta) interesting.

Why is lack of adherence to your personal aeronautical jargon preferences a criterion for "terrible writing"? And why is this the top comment in the topic? Come on folks.

Yes and no. It’s valid that values change and perhaps in the past this sort of dense, self-important prose was the preferred way to write. No doubt many even today would say it sounds more intelligent or educated. However, if the goal is to write in a legible, understandable, comprehensible way, then this has never been a good way to do that. (Indeed, many scholarly works are still written this way, and they are far less accessible as a result. People might feel smarter for reading them but they probably get less from them than if they were written simply.)

As for the translation, I’m not clear when this was actually translated. The stuff I’ve found indicates a publishing date if 1999. If that’s accurate (and it well may not be) then I think it’s entirely reasonable to expect translators to write easy-to-read text in a modern style. I understand the desire to carry the “spirit” of the work through the translation, but I’m not sure that’s what’s at fault when translations read this way. I wonder if translators enamored with the work are trying to use difficult phrasing to make it seem more impressive or educated. I also wonder if sometimes native sentence structure is being replicated in English, where it comes off try-hard when it’s really just an awkward transliteration.

But that's a completely different dynamic. It's like saying "who controls the government" because democratic control is really limited in a two party system where both parties have similar (or equally problematic) policies on many issues, unelected administrative agencies have wide latitude to set policy (including ones that profit them personally through the revolving door), government employees and government employee unions are a large voting and lobbying block despite the obvious conflict of interest against other citizens, etc.

The problem isn't that Bill Gates has too much money, it's that we have institutions with too much power and not enough accountability, both government and corporate. And then they use that power to conspire together against ordinary people.

What we need is to shrink the size of all entities to be less monolithic and more local and manageable.
I applaud your principles and voting with your wallet, however I find your comparisons frankly ridiculous and tone deaf.

The people murdered by warlord funded by blood diamonds didn't really have a choice. Exploited coffee farmers in the third world who barely make enough to survive also don't really have a choice if they want to feed themselves and their families. They can't exactly say "well screw this farm, I'm going to go write code for Morgan Stanley instead".

The 20-something freshly graduated CS engineers who sent their resume to get hired by those big name devs did so willingly and were probably very happy when they got hired. They most likely could've easily gotten a well paying job elsewhere and if their working conditions really become unbearable they'll probably do just that.

Should we still support this bad industry? Probably not and I think you're right to boycott these games, but it's nowhere near comparable to those other things you talked about.
Example 1: Military captain gives contracts to companies which he is 'affiliated' with in addition to getting direct kick back commissions from them.

After investigation, he was 'forced into retirement'. So basically he accepted bribery (which I'm sure he didn't classify correctly on his bank statements, meaning money laundering and wire fraud) and didn't have to pay anything back, didn't get charged with anything and kept his career. His 'punishment' is having to continue to get paid... while keeping the money.

Example 2: Naval director extorts money from subordinates: he faced a single 'letter of counseling' telling him his failures. He didn't pay back the money he received and faced no financial, career or other punishments. And that is AFTER being caught.

And to be clear, these two examples are taken from a document produced by the US Government to warn employees of the dangers of misbehaving. Imagine the cases they felt were too lenient to include in the book!

I can’t claim to be a big fan of Fulcanelli’s, but in the same text, he talked about how philosophers would communicate with ciphers. I have absolutely no proof of this, but wouldn’t put it above Fulcanelli to embed coded messages in his writing, or to write in a way that suggests a cipher. Again, I have no proof, other than that he fancied himself the man who rediscovered alchemy in the 20th century and, since many alchemists embedded codes in their writing, I can see him playing the part.

> it is really, really good at what it does and it doesn't suffer any of the issues plaguing software development in more modern technologies.

could you provide examples? Because I could really use a better approach to developing in PHP and end my grief where I work.

> The empirical view would be that truly crappy things don't tend to get both the adoption and staying power of something like PHP.

that is a naive statement that disregards the history of PHP. When it was conceived there wasn't anything much better and people just went with it, and it was a lot convenient and filled a gap that javascript just couldn't fill, that is writing code alongside HTML.

> PHP's greatest issue is its accessibility. It is so easy to get started with PHP that for over a decade it was the first language for most web developers

That is far from its greatest issues. There are a lot of accessible languages out there, that is simply not the case. The problem with PHP is that it is bad designed at its core, and not much can be done without breaking compatibility. The surrounding tools are either really bad, example for refactoring, for intellisense etc. or really expensive (PHPStorm). There is less crap code written in haskell, or rust than in php not because haskell is a niche language, but because the language is designed to make stupid decisions hard, something that can't be said about PHP. The language has to hold the programmers hand sometimes.

Even python for this matter has such an idiomatic approach to language design that it feels just weird to write stuff that is not according to the language style guide, even more if programmers stick with style check tools from the beginning.

>Your comment wasn't constructive criticism, it was kvetching.

> But most of the time, "PHP is bad" is just a low-effort comment people make hoping to get a few nods from the internet.

That should not be an excuse to write equally low effort answers. I didn't really think much of my comment, I was just being sarcastic for the sake of it. It wasn't supposed to be constructive criticism. I mentioned criticism in response to what you said about PHP and it's code lines output per criticism.

But just to be clear, I am not saying anything with ill intentions, take this all with a light heart, no hard feelings.

> the explosion of Islam across the Middle East and across to India, bringing with it tremendous scholarship and economic prosperity.

This is a very misleading description of what happened. The early Muslim conquests caused major disruption in the Middle East, otherwise known as the Roman and Persian Empires, as cities which had been full of scholarship and prosperity for centuries were invaded and the population conquered, enslaved, and sometimes killed, with the concomitant destruction of libraries and learning. There is a major disruption of the written historical record during this time period comparable to what happened in the Dark Ages or even worse.

It wasn't until after the "explosion of Islam" that the Muslims gradually realized the value of the Greek texts that were preserved during their conquests and everything settled out such that scholars were able to return to their work.

What do companies expect from Python devs in 2019?
>Yes, I think these communities should take a good look at themselves and confront the problems only they can help solve. Nothing gets done by putting the blame solely on white rich slave master descendants.

On a population or community level pull yourself up by your bootstraps is useless advice. Individually sure, get an education, work hard etc... But across a population, the disadvantages caused by systemic injustice create can't be solved by looking inward.

>My ancestors slaved on the peat mines, but I won't let that define me. It is not helpful at all.

This ignores the fact that discrimination didn't stop with the end of slavery. Until 50 years ago it was still legal to refuse to sell property to a Black person, and today Black people still have a harder time renting and finding employment specifically because of their race.

>I am ok if you say that policing should be about demographic parity, but not if you ignore the costs. By all means, send more police to rich white neighborhoods, to help affluent old ladies cross the road and rescue Persian cats from trees,

Policing by population density means this isn't really a problem, rich white neighborhoods have less naturally have less police presence because of lower population density.

>while gang violence rages in black neighborhoods and continues to ensnare young men

This is the go-to lament of the person unaffected by racism because it makes it looks like they care while costing them the least. You don't end gang violence long-term through law enforcement. We've tried that approach, and it the result is the largest prison population per capita on the planet, which just leads to more criminality, and the positive feedback loop builds. Unfortunately ending gang violence requires us to end systemic injustice, which will cost us quite a bit more than focusing cops on black neighborhoods.

>We all share responsibility to combat racism and disproportionate crime rates.

We do, and for those of us not affected by racism that means agreeing to pay the high cost of ending systemic injustice, not just personally pledging not to use the n-word.
Do we know, is this because of a change in society, such that it became difficult or less important to track these things? or is it because of a change in the people, for example people of Roman descent mixing with local tribes, like the Franks, and the local tribes didn't have the traditions of tracking the things that would allow us to trace this back?

Are you just listening to popular stuff or looking for podcasts about your more obscure interests? Or just randomly sampling?

I like storytelling podcasts for example, so something like "Re:Sound" was great. It is compilation of the best from other sources: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/re-sound/id135072877 (hard to find it actually) This can lead you to a number of podcasts from all over the world.

Critical Role is an amazing very long form podcast of a DnD game: https://critrole.com/ And if you like it, there is another bunch of similar content discoverable by association.

A lot of top-level stuff targets general audience. If that does not appeal to you, keep digging. Possibly treating it the same way you may look for technical information, with specific keywords, exclusion patterns and following the cross-referencing links. Once you hit the niche you like, you can then test different things within that.

The problem is that AI and more generally 'algorithms' are or were presented as neutral and unbiased. As such their biased results prop up a biased system.

I don't think people are against using ML and for biased human systems. Just pointing out the ignorant, naive and lazy deference to computers that often occurs in human systems that share the same bias.

In short I'd think most people who are against biased AI are also against biased human systems for very similar reasons.

The point I made is that sometimes it is morally correct to take things from a person at gunpoint, in the name of fairness. You suggested that it was morally unjustifiable to ever do so ("how can we morally justify taking money from others at gunpoint to make things "fairer"?")

I suggest, and you appear to agree, that sometimes it IS morally justifed to do so. The principle established, with both of us agreeing that sometimes it is morally justified to forcefully redistribute wealth, now it only falls to us to decide when we should do this forceful redistribution of wealth.

Etienne Gilson makes the argument for the designation: "Christian Philosophy," as folks turned to Gospels and revealed truths for inspiration. It offers a clear separation from "Greek Philosophy". As well as encompassing sub schools of thought such as Apostolic, Thomist, Neo-Augustinian and what have you.

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act doesn't do what you think it does...In fact, it explicitly provides that warranties are not required and that the scope can be limited by the warranty-provider, so long as the limitations are fair.

See https://www.edmunds.com/auto-warranty/what-voids-your-vehicl.... Car industry experts agree that off-roading will generally void the warranty of any car not sold as an off-road model, or with off-road capabilities that are advertised as such (like 4WD). This is because, as I previously stated, the demands placed by off-road use are very different from the demands of normal road use.

Also see the insurance/warranty limitations for any vehicle rented on the Big Island of Hawaii, which all deny coverage related to the off-road use of any vehicle that doesn't have 4WD.

You are correct.

But one wrong doesn't make another wrong right.

The campaign exists. I agree. It is horrible. I agree. But that shouldn't prevent rational adults from holding rational conversations.

Bring up non-sequiturs just because I said something that reflects badly on government is not a reason to bring up a non-sequitur.

It's like people who think drugs are bad.

Sure they are sometimes.

But that doesn't mean we can't have a rational discussion about what to do about it. And repeating 'drugs are bad' when people talk about drug reform is harmful to everyone involved. It answers nothing and creates an unnecessary divide. There are practical options that can be discussed instead of theory.

If people behave in an emotional manner not directly answering each other but rather giving off remarks based on feelings... it breaks down communication.

Instead of talking about 'what to do' people bring up theoretical points of good vs bad.

My point was reasonable. Please try to address reasonable points directly... basically engage in dialectics instead of sophism. I'm shocked at having to explain this on hacker news.

I actually feel that is the problem with US politics. People talk to the talking point, not to people's points. Everyone is busy answering the theory questions being brought up on the TV... not the specific instances of individual questions. If I talk to a conservative, since I don't always agree, they think I'm a liberal and talk against liberal points of view which I don't have, and many times which if they actually listened, they would know I don't have. If I talk with a liberal, since I don't always agree, they think I'm a conservative and talk against conservative points of view. No one talks about their point of view and mine as a stand alone argument. In the end, this is pure sophism. It's the desire to beat the other side, not find the truth (dialectics)
