Kanji are composed from a much smaller set of radicals, so you look it up by the radicals that compose it. Some dictionaries also divide characters up by stroke count. For the past 15+ years, electronic dictionaries with handwriting recognition have been popular, and now you can just use your phone keyboard.

In practice, sometimes you can also kind of guess at the pronunciation (since characters with the same main radical often have a similar pronunciation) and see what autocomplete lists; maybe that's less true outside of the joyo kanji, though.
> We’ll never measure the interior of a black hole, for example

Don't say 'never'. You can say we are pretty confident that the interior of black holes can't be measured now or in the future, given our current understanding. But science is not made of absolutes.

> What do we do with a theory that conforms to every measurement ever made, but whose predictions aren’t testable

Then it's kinda worthless, at last for physics. If two explanations agree with all observations (so far) that means they are completely interchangeable. You might as well use Occam's Razor and pick the simplest one. Until such time we find experimental differences, then we can compare again.
Ephemeral or the kind of stuff you would like to archive?

Well, water shortages in some places are coming dangerously close to the Malthusian problem eventuating.

Drought has contributed to the Syrian civil war and Egypt threatened Ethiopia with war over their megadamming project on the Blue Nile. Places like Yemen have an order of magnitude more people than in 1950 while relying on the same water resources.

This is not an easy problem to solve, water is too heavy to transport in significant amounts to places like Sanaa (elevation 7000 ft, over a million people, mild desert climate).

There are many threads here in the manner of “the American obsession with racism”. Different does not mean “does not exist”. I wonder if the commenters have digested C.L.R. James or Walter Rodney.

But even then, what do you mean by “namespace”? Like, if we’re talking XML namespaces, CSS has that. But I don’t think that’s what’s meant. But I haven’t the foggiest idea what is meant (hence the request for clarification).
It's not just Python that has this problem. In Debian the zlib package is called zlib1g. I'm not sure what the '1g' is for, but what really puzzles me is why Debian's package for the Rust bindings is called librust-libz-sys-dev with the description "libz library (also known as zlib)"

I guess it's too late to fix this apparent typo? The project is called zlib, ''libz'' is simply incorrect.
I had a pretty bad case of Coronavirus, had a high fever for nearly 2 weeks, but I actually never lost my sense of taste or smell! Those around me who contracted a mild case, actually lost smell and taste. Pretty odd stuff.
It is, but not on this side.

First point of complexity that's always being lost: power users aren't born, they're made - made from repeated exposure. First point of nuance being lost: being nice to power users means having features available and discoverable; it doesn't mean you have to clutter your pretty, simple, polished UX with it (and so decide to not do the features in fear of design impact).

Why it matters? Because operating a lot of hot, hip software - like Trello - ends up being a dayjob for many people. If you're sitting 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for years, using mostly a single piece of software, you're in a perfect position to become power user of that product, entirely effortlessly. If that software is "pandering to power users", then your work speed, quality and reliability will keep going up over time, as you get more proficient and efficient at using the tool. Whether you'll use saved time to rest, to slack off, or to get more work done - that's up to you, but you have a choice, and your employer saves money (whether through increased efficiency or reduced risk of employee burnout). Meanwhile, if the software embraces the "simple use only" principle, you'll just be wasting your life in front of a glorified Fisher-Price toy.

"Power user friendly" really means "leaving space for users to grow".
Yeah, that's really the crux of the problem: an inadequate safety net for these folks.

You can absolutely ignore it, even without switching inputs; it appears above the menu/input bar at the bottom and isn't modal.

However, it reappears every time the TV is turned on. At some point, a houseguest (assuming those are a thing at some point in the future) is going to hit "okay", or I'm going to do so accidentally while fumbling with the remote, and that isn't the same thing as actual/deliberate consent from me, the owner of the device.

No, I don't think so. For example, they have a feature that allows to follow a some twitter feed. Twitter does not have RSS feeds, so they wrote a code to handle that and charging money for that. I'm totally fine with that.

Reddit has RSS. Here is an example - http://old.reddit.com/r/all.rss . To subscribe to it, you need to pay 12 dollars per month to Feedly. And this I think is scammy.

I'm not sure that I understand either. From the abstract (which phys.org failed to link to):

Yeah haha me too. Gonna keep submitting it daily for a bit - sometimes it just takes a few tries.
The inflexibility of the current system is an issue, at least the ability to try different schools/home school options allows people to try everything until they find what works, more so they can find a school that works best for their child.

Just like remote learning, if I don't like K12, I can try another online school, same as I dump Netflix for Hulu. I'm not even geographically limited. If there is a teacher that specializes in teaching dyslexic students and I have a child that's dyslexic, I'm no longer limited that the teacher isn't in a school within 5-10 miles. The teacher can be in another state even technically as long as she's board certified in my state. There is also a geographic arbitrage advantage, if my school system doesn't pay teachers enough to live comfortably in my city, maybe the teachers can be hired where its cheaper to live. Or teach for NYC and live in rural NY state.
Japan seems fairly adaptive. Unlike China in the 1800s, they recognized that they had to open up to the West and did so, taking the West at their own game. They were pretty successful at that for about 100 years, going from feudalism to a modern colonial power faster than anyone else, until the people in charge decided to bomb Pearl Harbor. Contrast with China, which refused to open up, got invaded several times, and then embraced Communism which destroyed their economy, and they are still lagging behind Japan in many areas (fashion, literature, manufacturing quality, building quality, general living standard, etc.) It's hard to say that living in Beijing/Shanghai is a better quality of life than Japan, and outside those two cities Japan is definitely better.

China hasn't thrown off Confucianism, either, just pieces of it, and not really so much in the rural areas. The Confucian solution to conflict by avoidance and/or top-down control is still there, and women still have it pretty rough.

I think you have very valid points on all of these.

@tastyfreeze's comment had said a lot of what I wanted to say. I'm going to add to that.

When we think about "feeding the world", what frame are we using to look at that? If we were to look at it in terms of total yield distributed for everyone, we'd probably fall short with permaculture.

That set of calculations can be done from a top-down, mechanistic view of the world, wheere all inputs, processes, and outputs can be adequately described. Implicit in this view is that the these living systems, ecologies, and communities can adequately modeled, predicted. And that it can be deployed in a way that can get the results that we want.

However, as James Scott had argued in his book Seeing Like a State, there is a tendency to force these systems into forms that makes it easier to observe, measure, and control, and in doing so, fail. (https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/07/26/a-big-little-idea-call...)

We can't actually know what happens when something falls outside of the model, and there's a bias to avoid considering how complex adaptive systems behave when you can no longer model or control it.

Permaculture design principles were developed from a different frame: it is a way to work with, cultivate, and evolve a complex adaptive system (the local ecology) such that human communities can thrive within the ecology it belongs to. That is why you see design principles as "Slow and Small Solutions". Permaculture is something that isn't just decentralized, it must be implemented in a decentralized, site-specific, community-specific way.

Even with this, it is true that getting to 100% food self-sufficiency for a single family is extremely difficult. There was someone who made the news in the permaculture circles who accomplished it for a year. He did it to prove a point, but it wasn't expected that everyone does this. Instead, what where we are talking about is slowly increasing the self-sufficiency of a family, and gradually including others in the neighborhood.

If you are looking for the academic core of permaculture, check out Bill Mollesin's and David Holmgren's works.

I don't know if there are published studies done when we start considering the whole, or studying these living systems as complex adaptive systems. If you come across something like that, I would be interested in checking it out.

Or call it a mathematical model. It’s possible to work within a model and establish truths that follow within it as verifiably true assuming the conditions of the model. That’s actually a pretty interesting way to work in mathematics - ie whether you’re adding the point at infinity in complex analysis or not makes the topology similar to a sphere or plane, respectively.

So why the finger pointing like all the other commenters on HN? Go out and fix it!

the cut is only for salary. the majority of comp at stripe is stock.

so someone making 400k total comp may only make 160k in salary and so the cut would be 16k. (4% of total comp)

You could investigate the option of immigrating to the US as a Registered Nurse. Last I looked (which was some years ago) nurses were exempt from the Labor Certification requirement -- meaning you don't have to prove that there are no qualified Americans willing to take a particular job, because a long term shortage of nurses is assumed.
Not just Anglo-Saxon but Northwest Europe, and the pattern goes back at least 400 years. I haven't seen any maps but I think it probably very roughly corresponds with the Hajnal line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajnal_line

Of course, modern American notions of the nuclear family are a little different from the historical norm as wealth and health put limits on its expression. Modern, middle-class East Asian norms are probably closer to the pattern hundreds of years ago in Northwest Europe.[1] But in terms of comparative culture the distinctions are crystal clear across time.

[1] Of course, hundreds of years ago (or just 100 years ago), many East Asian cultures had uber multigenerational clan households and even entire villages. I heard a story over dinner once from an elderly Chinese-Singaporean. His parents were migrants from China. His father died when he was a baby, and his mother died when he was about 8. Every night his mother had him sing and memorize a song that described his [paternal] family's village. Fast-forward to his late 60s, he finally has the urge to travel to China to find his roots. All he had to go on was the general region and the song, which described some kind of confluence of mountains and rivers. He got close enough that a local was able to recognize the details and tell him the precise village. When he got there the villagers--mostly cousins, and even an uncle, IIRC--already knew all about him and his parents. Both his parents' death as well as his birth were recorded in the clan books, even though they happened in Malaysia and he has no idea how news traveled back to the village. They even showed him the shrine to his father, which was tended to by the new occupant (presumably a distant cousin) of the house his father had previously lived in.
> We are net exporters of all the major staples. At the very least, we can ratchet down subsidies until we are no longer a net exporter of agricultural products; that level of production is sufficient to handle all our essentials.

lol not if a world war happens buddy. regardless of whether we export staples or not (and we eat more than staples), staples taste horrible without spices, which we import at net 60%, and we need more of everything when we're defending liberal values from being wiped off the earth.

Biology puts some limits on that. Fertility of women goes down in the fourth decade of life. The # of aneuploid ova rises sharply.

It is possible that there will be scientific development solving that, but so far, we do not have enough young fertile people to practice your obvious method, unless they were ready to have 4+ kids each.
I’m wondering what you mean by “real estate prices are so high in Japan”? Relative to other countries? Or some point in the past in Japan?

My assumption is that declining population is leading to surplus housing and declining real-estate prices in most of the country.

And even in the Tokyo area where demand is still strong, homes are still more affordable than in other large cities like New York and London.

That's all correct, but ~60% of the weight in PCE and CPI-U are given to housing, healthcare, and education costs:

https://twitter.com/jmhorp/status/1308799186301747200

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/relative-importance/2019.txt

Even if housing costs have gone up more than overall inflation, other things have fallen, and OVERALL inflation rate is the best rough measure of "cost of living".

Keep in mind that this still means that we ought to solve the rising house price problem (by liberalizing zoning restrictions) and reducing healthcare prices (either by having the State subsidize all of it or better price transparency). Doing so just improves the inflation-adjusted wage even more than it's already improved.
Time for them to cash-in on the anti-big-tech rhetoric wave they've been riding since the anti-trust hearings.

Also, are there other laws that are phrased like this? That you have to "earn" a right that you already have? They should just right-out say they are forcing the choice of having rights stripped or following the laws of a newly-created lawmaking body(committee).

Could this new body force them to use a backdoored encryption, or even a particular NSA-made software? What a farce.
The issue not so much the extensions scraping the individual user's own data (or data about them) but scraping data about advertisers and about other users.

Facebook is harmed through resource consumption by the scraping, the infringement of any copyrights they hold on what's scraped, and potentially harmed in their relationship with their advertising customers and their users.

How bad Facebook's own practices are is irrelevant to the issue of what these extension makers have done. Dirtbags have rights too.
