This is technically true but in real life people mispronounce tones all the time and get understood fine. Mandarin songs have no tonal distinctions at all and nobody has problems understanding them. Getting tone right is super important if you want to be extremely terse (as is traditional) but you can get away with a lot of tone mistakes if you add context. (I'm also learning Mandarin at the moment, as my fifth language)
Kafka was a Jewish subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, living in what he would have called Bohemia and regarded as a province. I have no idea whether he spoke Czech but I’d be astonished if his grandparents weren’t primarily Yiddish speakers. At his death he had been a citizen of Czechoslovakia for only six years, and German speakers were 1/4-1/3 of the Czechoslovak population.

Giving parents unfettered ability to violate their children's privacy does not serve the children's interests.

Many parents are abusive. Many children are discovering a sexuality or identity that their parents would find unacceptable.

In these cases, and many more, ensuring that the parents can read every single message their children send—and every single website they access—is much more likely to lead to serious negative outcomes for the children (at best, a repressed identity; at worst, suicide due to having one's self rejected by one's parents).

"the 9/11 Memorial Shopping Mall"

I think those words should not be ever strung together, and as they are it kinds of says way too many things about a culture that would use them as such.

Not to condemn all of New York, but the implications of that sentence is way beyond kitsch.

Maybe this is the way NY has always been: it changes, it hustles, it moves. It's never been about a quaint kind of perfection. Maybe it's always been a kind of a rugged, slightly aggressive New World place that maybe should offend the senses of anyone expecting a more refined serenity?

So maybe that's just NYC.

That's not true. You can verify the time based codes or do u2f yourself. You don't need a third party for that.

Thanks for your reply. The Euclid’s Elements example seems possibly a good anchor for discussion.

However I think the difficulty/effortfulness/dynamism of the learning process should signal that the communication/teaching side of the process is only going to be more effortful/dynamic/etc.

In other words whether or not to present Euclid with diagrams and how and when to present them seems to be such a context-sensitive concerns that any generalized approach is going to miss the mark.

As a learner/reader or teacher/writer I don’t think you can do better than to be equipped with some tools (words, drawing devices, audio, gestures, cinema) and then dynamically utilize these to reach your listener/“student”.

But any thesis that doesn’t respect that this as an extremely dynamic & context-sensitive process is going to fail I think.

In my (anecdotal) experience in both attending and teaching classes (/presentations), richer ways to convey information incite the audience to switch off and undergo/experience the "class".

You whip out a blackboard & chalk, and the difference is palpable.

I'm not saying is impossible to teach with "richer" methods, but i am saying that there is more to teaching than conveying information.
Interesting! Wikipedia claims: "The House of Lords focused on the issue of consent rather than a notion of 'parental rights' or parental power. In fact, the court held that 'parental rights' did not exist, other than to safeguard the best interests of a minor."

I am of the opinion that we should give significant credence to a minor over the age of, say, eight who says "I do not trust my parents to act in my best interests." This may generally involve having a qualified doctor or social worker evaluate the child's best interests instead of making the child decide, but at least a doctor or a social worker, unlike a parent, had qualifications to evaluate the options and has no conflict of interest unlike a parent.

"For syntax highlighting, any form of OT or CRDT is overkill; the highlighting is a stateless function of the document, so if there's a conflict, you can just toss the highlighting state and start again."

I first became interested in CRDTs in a case where this wasn't really true. I was writing an IDE for a custom in-house DSL - think of the application as a special language for interacting with a gigantic and very strange database. Basically, the problem was that the use case really stretched the bounds of what is normally done with syntax highlighting. Some requirements:

- It had syntax and semantic highlighting, where the visual feedback associated with a term would depend on the results of queries to the remote database

- It had to be able to handle documents of several megabytes (and many thousands of terms) fairly smoothly, with as little noticeable lag or flicker as possible

- It couldn't swamp the database with unnecessary requests

- The document itself had implicit procedural state (e.g. if you wrote a command that, if evaluated, would alter the state of a term on the database, appearances of that term later in the document needed to be highlighted as if those changes had already been applied)

So I definitely couldn't throw out metadata and start over with every change. I ended up with a kind of algebraic editing model that allowed me to put bounds on what needed to be updated with every edit and calculate a minimal set of state changes to flow forward. It was extraordinarily complicated. I never got around to learning enough about CRDTs to determine if they'd be simpler than the solution I came up with, but they do seem to target some similar issues.
The point regarding Play Services is valid, and if the parent comment had focused on that I would not have objected. But that doesn't mean AOSP is a "very small part" of Android or that it isn't open source.

The flip-side of your experience is that it highlights the existence of a large number of Android devices based on AOSP that don't run Google apps, particularly in the PRC. Aside from the Chinese market, you have a major company like Amazon selling millions of devices with their own AOSP fork on them. On an individual level, I can install Lineage OS on my unlocked devices and use apps from F-Droid as well as many others.

Play Services does have a significant foothold in many users' experiences, which bears discussion, but it doesn't invalidate AOSP. It is Android's open source nature that allows for forks and for apps to be shared across the Android ecosystem much more readily than programs developed for an actual proprietary operating system such as Windows.

The author's general thesis is that the medium needs to lead you by the nose into learning things. It's the book's fault you didn't absorb much because it should have forced you into metacognitive patterns of thinking.

This is a great and important topic to think about but I disagree with the conclusion. Instead I think people need to learn (and be taught) how to learn. Sitting and absorbing media is often ineffective (and something left out is especially recently popular books trying to teach you something are often garbage or could be delivered in a few pages instead of a few hundred).

One resource – which unfortunately is much longer than it needs to be (you can skip the extensive portion devoted to classifying books into types) – is How to Read a Book

In short: to get the most out of books, lectures, anything of the sort you need to do more than just consume at the normal rate. Skim, outline, ask questions for yourself to answer, research outside sources, skip parts which seem unnecessary and pour over the important parts many times, make yourself flashcards, make notes in the margins, discuss with people, teach somebody what you have learned, on and on and on, tl;dr actively read, don't passively absorb.
> the lack of an accent

Everybody who speaks has an accent.

> many people who are native English speakers have terrible accents (ie Texan, Scouse, Scottish, etc etc)

In your opinion. How good or bad a native speaker accent is is entirely subjective. If you have trouble understanding Texans, Liverpudlians, or Scots, that's your problem, not theirs.

I'd also cut foreigners who master English, especially English language novelists, some slack.
I don't see how you reached that conclusion. Once .NET 5 arrives, there won't be any more concern with ensuring portability between .NET Core apps and .NET Framework apps by way of targeting .NET Standard.

.NET Standard will be only one thing, if they end up retaining the name at all. It will be the the interface to everything in .NET 5. .NET Framework will just be its own thing maintained only for legacy compatibility. After .NET Core 3.0, new development will not be added to .NET Framework.

I do agree with you that it would be clearer if they only spoke of .NET 5 and .NET 4.8 Framework versions.

The problem with having a hurricane-proof house in New Jersey is that your neighbors don't -- yet.

fast company's website is giving design a bad name
There are NO chess grandmasters who learned the game at 25. The few late starting outliers started in their late teens.

Talented kids become GMs at age 13-15 these days after 5-7 years of study.

I am not convinced by this argument. In many countries a sizeable proportion of the child population is encouraged to play chess, and very, very few of them become GMs (or any kind of master). The number of adults who pick up chess and pursue it ~fulltime is miniscule in comparison.
"you are naturally selecting for employees that care more about the culture and work/life balance than having the highest possible salaries"

This is not quite true.

You're 'selecting' for all of the things that come along with offering lower salaries, which usually means losing the best talent.

All things being equal, it's rational for even a 'good staffer' to go to Google (or whatever).

And of course, the company saves money by paying people less.

I'm doubtful that there's any correlation between 'lower pay and commitment' once you normalize for talent.

If this is true, they could equally pay people more and get the same or better results.

Corporations speak in their self interest, and other people's interests to the extent it serves their own. If a company is paying less, it's probably because they can get away with it for one reason or another.

It's not just you. Adults get used to being competent and have stupid counterproductive identity issues around learning.

I put it like this:

9 year old who has been learning a skill (say how to draw or play a musical instrument) for one year says, "hey, I've learned a lot over a year and I'm not great yet, but I'm just 9 and have years to keep improving"

49 year old who has been learning same skill for one year: "I've made progress, but it's been a whole year and I still just draw/sound like a little kid"

In my own teaching, adults who put in the same amount of time and energy as kids generally progress as fast or faster.

(I was going to add that adults generally don't put in the time and energy, but then I remembered that lots of kids fail to do that as well)
Hi! Thanks for the elaborate reply. All great suggestions and will consider what is best for my MVP. If I happen to figure out a great medium I'll let you know!
My kids at certain age (between 2-4 yo) picked up a lot of Spanish by simply watching youtube videos for 1-2 hours a day (their fav. cartoon at the time Pocoyo was in Spanish). Compared to my learning efforts it was definitely going much easier for them, especially since it was completely unstructured learning for them, they had to figure out the meaning based just on the visual context. They've also learned a lot of Italian at the same time by simply listening to my wife's family talk between themselves (I listened them too, but my Italian still sucks). Problem is that they also forget most of it very quickly around 5 y/o (I guess it matches the period of infantile amnesia) unless they're exposed to the language regularly. So now they still understand Italian very good, but as they've lost interest in that cartoon they've quickly forgot most of their Spanish vocabulary.
It simply isn't true that there is no getting around network latency. For example, when I tap an image in a Facebook feed in their app, the story actually does load instantly, regardless of how slow my network is, because it is already downloaded on my device. It may even work offline. AMP is an attempt to match that performance with web pages.

Sure, none of this is true if the user manually types into the address bar, but most web navigation isn't done that way.

Welcome to the internet where other people's money doesn't matter.
>I don't really get that. I suppose I've just never gotten used to it, but I just find that typing the name of the application is so much easier and faster. If I know I want to e.g launch Nautilus, why would I first spend time thinking about whether it's a "place" or an "application" or a part of the "system"? Is my text editor an "educational" program or an "office" program or an "accessory"? Or maybe _that_ is a "system" tool?

Well, there are several aspects to this. For an ordinary user, who's just started with the system, they don't even know the file manager is named "nautilus", so they wouldn't know to type it in. The Gnome 2 system aids discovery. Second, a user might not even know they could search for things, or be less comfortable with the keyboard. (Personally I do set things up this way: I have caps lock mapped to KDE's search widget, in the style of Chromebooks. I don't have a "Application" menu at all.)

But maybe most importantly, one usually thinks "I want to look at my pictures", not "I want to open the file manager." In Gnome 2, you would open the Places menu and click Pictures. Which, of course, would open Nautilus already pointed at the correct directory. I have a Places widget with a folder icon on my KDE taskbar for this purpose.

Ya, when I was a kid, we had balloons, but they didn't have helium in them. They just had DLA (dad lung air). This year, my kids didn't have helium balloons either... they just had DLA. They didn't care at all, maybe didn't even notice the difference. So ya, who cares about party usage -- the shortage itself is the real story. They buried the lead so deep they forgot to dig it up.
I think you're approaching it from the wrong POV. First of all, the option needs to be on the site owner/developer side on whether to adopt AMP or not - and not have the decision of not adopting AMP adversely affect search ranking.

As a user, I should just see whatever the site lets me see. If they decide AMP is best for user experience, I would no doubt get it. If they decide to show a responsive mobile friendly site because it works best, then show me that.
>Users of English who can only understand a narrow range of accents (Americans, I'm looking at you!)

Is this based on your anecdotal observations, or is this opinion based on something concrete? Because as an American who knows many other Americans, my anecdotal experience is that we can understand English accents from people all over the world.

This of course varies from person to person, but software engineers I've worked with are accustomed to speaking with people with accents.

> Plus, he has no embarrassment, hesitation, or fear of failure.

This is key. I spent a period one summer in a Welsh immersion course. There were some very well-educated, clever Americans there (I would like to think I was one) and people from more polylingual parts of the world often with less explicit linguistic training. The latter tended to do much better chiefly because they set aside ego and tried to do what they were there to do: learn Welsh. The Americans were afraid to make mistakes and sound like idiots, so they didn't take the risk and consequently achieved less proficiency. The best learners were an Englishman (with a PhD in physics) who had shed his pride through thirty or forty years of vagrancy, and a Breton, who was just gifted with humility.

Here's one significant error:

> Suppose that, contrary to what actually happened, Cavendish’s experiment had yielded a result that was qualitatively incompatible with the law of universal gravitation. The reaction of physicists would certainly not have been to reject Newton’s theory of gravitation and start looking for another one.

Looking for another theory is precisely what physicists do, once experimental error, miscalculation, and misunderstanding the theory are ruled out. Hence relativity and quantum physics, and the current search for a theory that explains dark matter and dark energy.

And another:

> From a purely logical point of view, what scientists do when they blame the failure of a prediction on the background assumptions instead of theory they take to be well-established is no different from what charlatans peddling pseudoscience do...

This is arguing that "falsificationism" requires discarding a theory after a single failed experiment, but forgets that even experiments can be falsified (by finding an error in the experiment or the associated conclusions).

The difference between scientists and "charlatans peddling pseudoscience" is that when a prediction proves to be false, scientists look for an explanation.

The author forgets that the explanation might be found in the experiment or the prediction, and scientists look there first before questioning a theory that's proven itself in the past.
