How to Avoid Startup Failure
I would argue that English already ended up with a simplified variant in the form of international English as practised by many second language learners of English. It's not American English, it's not British English, but it hovers somewhere in between, and tends towards leaving out the idioms that require a higher degree of literacy (and being well-read in particular). It's the language spoken at international conferences, colleges outside of the Anglosphere, and political summits; and countless bastardized variants are practised by tourists world-wide.

Bear in mind that ⅔ of all the English speakers (over a billion people) are second language users of the language.

Of course what you are left with is a language that doesn't really reach its potential for beautiful prose until you settle for a specific 'proper' variant of English — with all its bells and whistles, comparatively fixed orthography, and quaint expressions.

A friend of mine teaches computer science at a small Jesuit college.

He was wanting to put together a program where students would go volunteer to help NGOs do software projects in India.

Something he was surprised by was that NGOs in India are almost all oriented around lobbying the government to do things (particularly that they'd already promised to do) and not around provisioning social services themselves.

My understanding is that in some religions, we are living today in the "afterlife" of a previous life, and subject to karma based on what we've done.

If one has bad karma that has put one in an undesirable social position, it's not a stretch that Earth is a hell for those people, and we're supposed to be the demons that make life miserable for them.
Well it was a strongly irrational feeling so it's hard to properly justify but let's say I sensed a kind of arbitrariness in both types of reasons and I was looking for stuff that was more objective. (An example of how our minds loop from rationality to irrationality without settling on either.)
I don't think so. The story here is "horrible things happen to underage girls who hang out on Instagram". So I don't need to be a doctor to evaluate "horrible things". Either horrible things happen, or not.

In the real world, what if somebody would be beaten up in a certain part of town, every time they go there, and they keep returning. You wouldn't have to be a doctor to ask "why does he keep returning".

I wonder if it might be possible to make it a bit more "game-y" by adding some manually-programmed structural elements to the game (like inventory, skill points, etc) and feeding those into the AI to tune its responses.

Maybe some sort of AI-powered D&D DM; the rules of the game would be hard coded, but the AI would determine how the rules are applied and how they fit into the story based on text input from the players, results of dice rolls, etc. (E.g. If the AI were to end a sentence with "Roll for initiative" then the hard-coded bit of the game would have everyone roll initiative and feed the results back into the AI.)

My wife works at a library. The homeless are a problem that the city and the county refuse to address because the library is "open to all" but does bad behavior have to be acceptable? Public drunkenness, abuse of other patrons, messes in the restrooms, smelly, nasty people sleeping in the chairs, just constant problems. They basically turn the library into a place nobody wants to visit in order to not offend a particular demographic. That's not fair to the community any more than the opposite is.

I prefer the old days when the cops would show up and roust them out of there and tell them to go be a pain in the ass someplace else. I feel the same way about crime, too--the cops should be busting heads, instead we have muggers at the mall parking lot because "racism."

You mean for accessibility? Maybe but there shouldn't be any fundamental reason why an accessibility tool can read a windows app and not web app, since under the hood Chrome and Firefox can use the same interface this tool interfaces with.

If you meant performance in terms of runtime, I'm not convinced this is the case. Obviously WebAssembly will have some overhead, but I don't think the overhead is critical enough for most applications to matter. Especially if those applications are written in anything other than C/C++, they'll have similar performance characteristics.

Moving the parts by plane works better because the place where the parts are needed (aka the factory where they are put together) is at an airport, which is where this thing can land and directly offload right into the factory. Barges are tougher because unless there is a waterway directly next to the factory/airport (which isn't the case for Airbus's main factories AFAIK), it can be hard transporting such large pieces via streets between the waterway and the factory.

If the point is calculus, you can give away free food to anyone. That additional condition of "for the homeless" gives the lie to the claim that the goal is merely to share your love of calculus.

There is, in fact, a church in northern San Diego county that has a free meal open to anyone on Friday nights, no questions asked. It does involve listening to a sermon. It's one of the best free meals I attended while homeless and I wrote it up on one of my websites as a model program that should be copied because it was so well done.
That makes things worse, but we would still have a problem with the work being done primarily by us tech workers. I wouldn’t place the blame solely on unskilled low-wage workers. I’ve worked with Ivy League graduates that think I am angry when I ask a question and am just confused. The US education system is moderately segregated and many of our most educated students are not taught to be more critical of stereotypes perpetuated in the media.
I don't think WASM is proposed as an improvement over either HTML or JS. It's proposed as an addition that fills out certain shortcomings for particular niches. WASM is not (currently) envisioned as the "new" way to write for the web, but as a handy capability to reach for if you need it.
Oh, yes, I also often have that issue(although I use middle mouse click for that).

I also have these issues with Vim plugins - suddenly websites make scrolling almost unusable with an animation(which is never seen when scrolling with a mouse, touchpad etc. but seems to exist solely to annoy keyboard users), or they can't be scrolled at all, or the whole website UI is built with crazy JS magic so that the plugin can't even find a single link on the whole page.

Powerline Gigabit Ethernet is a thing, but it's bordering on wireless (uses the power wiring as a "guideline" as to where its RF energy should go). This makes the network attachment unit costly and adoption low. For most applications WiFi is cheaper and more convenient. Anyone who wants really solid connectivity will lay Cat5.

Organisations (and individual people) are semi-constitutionally capable and incapable of different things.

A lot of time, complete outsiders find very high "value" tasks that they can do, seem trivial, but the organisation seems unable to "task" to someone.

A classic example is "watchdog" regulators that are supposed to police an industry. Regardless of mandate, they nearly always operate entirely via well organized, documented complaints. They don't do "outbound" policing, even if it's deeming easy & productive. The

I’m so thankful this has finally come to be. I’m not sure what power the American Farm Bureau has, though. Will this become law?
No, my stipulations don't prove OP's point, and it's concerning to me that so many people think they do. Believe it or not, there is a vast underclass of people who live and work in San Francisco who are actually struggling because they make less than half that. They don't work in tech and they can't even think about these problems because of the more pressing ones they're facing.

You're talking about things like buying a house and finding non-familial child care; these are people worried about receiving government assistance for food and finding affordable rent with bad credit and almost intractable debt. They're scraping by because they wish they could "stretch" a salary like $200k to afford any home and make day care work. Most Americans do not pay for child care, and wouldn't expect to.

I'm going to double down and reiterate here: just because you can't do all the things you want to do doesn't mean you're scraping by. That's a disingenuous definition of the term. If you consider $200k to be "scraping by", what do you call the people who will actually be looking after your kids in day care? How much do you suppose they earn per year?

I'd have no qualms of barring you from ejecting people who refuse to attend the lectures if you are offering food and shelter conditional on a lecture to the homeless - but it wouldn't be defensible for me to do so under separation of religion - I just think it's annoying that you'd feel entitled to control people's time like that, it's essentially reinforcing a devaluation of their lives and opportunities.

But that's a darn good example because free food with a lecture (or timeshare opportunity, or conference on industry tool) is a really common occurrence marketing wise and it raises a question that I can't answer in terms of legal and moral right - those lunch and learn conferences, do some people feel pressured to attend because it's subsidizing the cost of their lunch that day? How much time do they lose to engaging in such things and how many of them missed better job opportunities because of it.

3 unopposed strikes and you're shutdown.

>Also, the strikes remain until the disputes are resolved entirely, so even if you dispute everything, you can still be taken offline.

Note that per https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2814000?hl=en

>If your channel is in the YouTube Partner Program, you are eligible for a 7 day courtesy period after 3 copyright strikes before your channel is disabled. During this period, your copyright strikes won’t expire and you won’t be able to upload new videos. Your channel will remain live and you will be able to access it to seek a resolution for your strikes. If your strikes are resolved through a retraction, or we forward your counter notifications and they are ultimately successful, your channel will not be disabled.

The Youtube Partner Program is the system that allows for monetization, so everyone that's making money off Youtube ads is in it. I.e., everyone who's making money off Youtube ads has 7 days from receiving the strikes to file counternotices, and by my reading their account will remain active until those are resolved one way or the other. It says the channel won't be disabled if the notices are successful, implying that it isn't disabled even temporarily.

Regarding your examples, yes, if there's actual legal action then the creator will be in trouble. But that's true regardless of whether they got strikes or filed a counternotice. I stand by my claim above that legal action in obvious fair use cases is "astonishingly rare".

Food costs more. When I visit people in other parts of even the state of California I'm shocked at how cheap stuff is at the market.

Services cost more (going out to eat, the car wash, childcare, anything where labor is involved).
Politely disagree. I feel like one should already have found a way to make their life meaningful before having a kid. Having a child just adds to it, changes the nature of that meaningfulness, enhances it ... but not be the cause of it.
I don't think the poster was implying the shelters shouldn't be allowed to eject people. Merely that it would, hypothetically, be very unfortunate if someone were compelled to agree to a shelter's demands, because being ejected would mean they are jailed for sleeping outdoors.
Wait, that exists. USB is the standard. The UPS with standardized DC-outs is a USB power bank with integrated pass-through charging.
My guess is that the judges led the way here, with a well-intentioned but ultimately destructve desire for a scoring system that is ostensibly objective, repeatable and free of any cultural bias, but at the cost of depending on gameable proxies as a substitute for meaningful values. Once such a system is put in place, the incentives will drive behavior towards extreme gamesmanship, while at the same time driving away anyone preferring real debate.

I further suspect that, at least within high-school debate, pressure from parents, in the form of a minority incessantly and agressively arguing against the judges, played a part in the desire for 'objective' measures.

Update: here's a relevant quote - note the emphasis on the number of arguments, in light of the fact that it is easier to increase your count by adding another argument than it is to increase your count by adding another argument that specifically refutes one made by the other side:

We developed a situation where one team decided, "I'm going to present eight arguments," and the other team talked slower and only answered six of them, and the judge says, "Well, you didn't answer two of these arguments so you lost the debate because you didn't answer those arguments." So the other team said, "We need to answer all eight of those arguments," and they started to talk faster. And the other team said, "Well, we'll present 10 arguments," and then they answered 12. It escalated to a point that, in some instances, has gone way too far.
I always thought "IME" was a specific name for input methods that didn't map 1-to-1 to keyboard keys (+modifiers) and required more than a new keyboard layout. Why would Esperanto require that? (Or do our definitions differ? I certainly wouldn't compare it to Japanese in that case.)
Absolutely!

And becoming a part of a local community of people who all align with living that way, makes it really easy to live that way yourself.

Which is just another one of the many reasons that I enjoy going.

Everything from my physical fitness, to my mental health, to my nutrition, sleeping habits, and everything in between have improved significantly since committing to a daily practice.
Not everyone agrees that intention is relevant. For me, it’s important to help while minimizing harm and trying to respect the agency and wishes of the recipient, which the fighting analogy violates. that is a challenging balance in practice, but we are talking about ethics, where there is more grey than b&w.

I suppose you could argue that religion is harmful.. but even as an atheist, that’s a stretch for me to agree with.

Learning Esperanto is something that I really want to do, I've just never been able to stick to it. I imagine its because its has no use in my everyday life, and so I tend to brush it off in favor of other things (which admittedly I brush off as well because I'm lazy, but Esperanto prioritises behind those and so when I'm not being lazy I do the other things first and never spend enough time in Esperanto to make any progress).
This is a misnomer. I looked in the education section and the 4th item down was a educational charity sponsored by a religion.

https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summar...

That 31% is donations to churches (from what I'm reading). Not donations to charities organized separately from the churches.

So if there is a catholic charity which focuses on Haiti, then that would be excluded from the 31%.
