Check out the Aymara language, where the past is in front of you and the future is behind you!

As a non expert, I think the general idea is you can see the past, therefor it is in front of you, and the future is unknown, so it’s where you can’t see it, behind you.
Indian English has a great word to help disambiguate these sorts of situations: “prepone”: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/prepone

Also, no analysis of the semantic chaos of scheduling-related terms in English can be complete without a reference to “tabling”: the act of setting something aside for later discussion (to an American), or the act of discussing something immediately (to the rest of the English-speaking world). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(parliamentary_procedu...

And yet, technologies like HTTPS have now become mainstream, in part due to pressure from big corporations (like Google search rankings), in part due to technologies to make safe defaults easier (Certbot, web servers like Traefik and Caddy). Surely with time authentication and authorization methods will get a similar treatment?

It's unfortunate that following X.509 best practices would involve sharing personal information, instead of putting a UUID in some field that only has a meaning server side, since most private information is already stored on sites in some capacity, for example, to enable payments.

It's good to know that people have made progress with WebAuthn, though, even if roaming authenticators will probably slow down the adoption a bit.
I've been doing something quite similar. But sometimes I just get ignored, taking my "I love this but I'm nervous that" as "I love this".
Wouldn’t a sliding scale make the most sense?
> You may believe the 1619 Project is a "major indoctrination effort" and that it lacks "academic rigor", but that's not established fact at all. Many people think highly of it and of her work - including her potential UNC professional colleagues, who wanted her there in a tenured job at an excellent university. It does represent a point of view that disagrees with established ones, but that's almost the point of academic research: Find where established beliefs are flawed. Especially on sensitive topics, that may result in an angry reaction and division; that shouldn't stop people from publishing, and that's what tenure protects.

If the intention of the 1619 Project was merely to use rigorous historical methods to expand the purview of the historical record in accordance with the useful-sounding aspects of truthful claims that have been suppressed, as some insist, it would be a valuable, if not necessary, contribution.

However, the goal the 1619 Project is not, and never was, to improve our historical understanding. Rather, its goal was always to perpetrate a critical historiography that muddles and besmirches it (i.e. problematize). This it seeks to achieve by calling into doubt the American metanarrative and establishing alongside it, if not in place of it, the critical race Theoretical metanarrative instead: that the United States is indelibly racist and has been since its origins. This includes undermining trust in the liberal ideas of individualism and human universality, wherein people are judged by the contents of their character and recognized for their common humanity, and forwarding identity-group thinking that is more useful for (radical) identity politics.

The fact that so many professors at UNC shares a critical consciousness is a sign of how far gone that university is from its original liberal vision of truth-finding in favor of identity politics.

> What distinguishes those things? Who decides? Just because it has happened at some time in some place, is that evidence that it's happening now? Should we eliminate all academic freedom?

If an academic is engaging in critical consciousness, basically creating meta-narratives to further a radical political activist goal instead of truth-finding, it should be treated the same as an academic that mainly teaches baptism of Christianity in history class and produce a revisionist meta-narrative to further baptism. Such a person would not receive academic freedom protections.
This made me think about how we use the term 'over engineered' in our industry. In most industries it seems to be a good thing (i.e. space shuttle). In our industry it's synonymous with bad, unnecessarily complex code. We seem to have a knack of taking positive attributes such as clever, and flipping them!
> Why weren’t they taking those jobs before?

Some people dont like change, the jobs earlier were good enough so they didnt bother making that change.

After Covid people had plenty of time to think and implement that change.

Undocumented workers, maybe?

That makes perfect sense.

When you're moving back into the past, you're talking from your perspective about your perspective. But when you're talking about a deadline, you're talking from your perspective about a "stationary" event in the future. Since you are moving forward, but the deadline stays in place, relatively speaking the deadline moves towards you - so you push it back, in its reference frame, into your future.

If this sounds complicated, blame the fact that we use spatial intuitions for timekeeping. For instance, if you compare "step back" to "push back" in a spatial sense, they also mean opposite things, and for the same exact reason.
Of course, but I was responding to the specific claim that Apple "gets 30% for it."

Arguing about the $99/year developer fee is a pointless rabbit hole. You might as well also accuse Apple of selling the developers an iPhone and a Mac for developing the scam app. And then don't forget to accuse the electrical grid operator of selling electricity to the scammers.
> like what?

List of incidents covered within this general Wikipedia article [1].

A factor I haven't seen discussed much in non-Chinese press is that the Xinjiang region was one of the last (if not the very last) to resist the CCP in the Chinese Civil War [2] [3], with some relatively non-trivial, remotely-originated clandestine support by both the (by then) Taiwan-based KMT and CIA until well after (around 1953) the generally-recognized end of the civil war (around 1949).

I'd like to hear the perspective of native-born Chinese "CCP-ologist" and "CIA-ologist" HN readers on how this historical background might color the CCP's current handling of the region. IMHO, both the CCP and CIA have long memories, but I could be off base.

And Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia... The list is long. Western democracies don't seem to care of all the sweet dollar that is to be made in these countries. At least Russia used to pretend to play by established rules.

The problem with these rules, IMHO, is that they were created to serve the interests of western powers. Hard to force other countries to play by them, then.
In German, "half seven" indicates half past six, everywhere. But - annoyingly, there's also "quarter seven", which is a regional thing. And then you're left to decipher whether both are short for "{half,quarter} [left until the hour] seven" or "{half,quarter} [have passed since the hour before] seven".

It's the latter, btw.

The thing is, in one's peer group it's reasonable to give advice like "just sign up for faster internet", because you know the other person and can judge whether they "just" need a nudge to go check out cable and fibre internet, whether they can afford an extra $50 a month, whether it might be available in their area, whether their housemates would let them just pay for the whole damn thing, whether they'd get $50 of subjective value from reliable and fast internet, and so on.

Giving out advice like that on the internet is interesting because it's almost a problem of being too friendly with strangers, to the point of acting like you know them personally.

As a counterpoint, I'm several hundred thousand dollars richer and got to have a fun year and a half living in SF, because a friend told me to "just apply to big US tech companies and get an E-3 visa", and it actually worked.
It’s weirdly saddening that these are the things ppl need to create a whole list for and keep being reminded of. Yet, it is very often is the case. The vast majority of engineers don’t even consider these to be of big importance. I wonder if this is something specific to our profession or people personalities that follow it.
> Its closer to the sports meaning of perseverance.

Which is itself a hustle per the definitions GP quoted! Probably one of the oldest-going ones. That is, promoting the image of some lofty qualities of a perfect athlete, to give additional meaning and allure to what's otherwise an exercise in competitive showmanship, an entertainment business.

The nature of the swindle becomes visible when one considers that: 1) the role-model athletes, whether today or in ancient past, are people entering large championships - i.e. professional athletes; 2) every player in professional sports is driven to get better, but there's a silent, implicit "but not too much, lest the game becomes too easy, too boring for the audience, and we the spectator money" attached to this.

> Why are you calling it investment revenue?

Fair, will edit to make capital gains. It's late, tired -_-

> You are also adding inflation as a separate line item. Wow.

Inflation is a separate line item and it's effectively a tax. Since 2000, the dollar has lost >35% of it's value, i.e. you can purchase 35% less. They've also changed the way inflation is calculated in that time, it's likely even higher. As an exercise: If you gave someone land, but every year took x% of it -- they'd call that a tax.

> You are being penalized because you aren't paying attention to the market and somehow doing the most inefficient things.

Not really sure what you mean, if it's regarding taxes, I was pointing out how I could be paying 60%+ in taxes. I know there are rebates, discounts, etc but (A) a lot of people don't know these and (B) when you earn enough that disappears. The general point was 60+% taxes is real.

Low head dams like these don't generate a whole lot of power. Wikipedia's article says they generally generate <5MW of power; an individual wind turbine these days can deliver an equivalent amount of power.

Dams are also becoming less effective as climate change increases drought conditions in areas with dams.

Correct.

To the other comments. We where a good customer that experienced an amazing stupidly high failure rate in a part that others also reported the same issue. The cost of deploying these systems and having them fail randomly broke planning and wasted the teams time and impacted our IT cost metrics. The cost of the support ticket, time and replacing and re-imaging a system was not free. We of course tried very hard to be preemptive in sorting this once we ID’ the issue. The vendor did not care, so another path was taken in order to help express our unhappiness to the vendor which resolve the issue. We paid additional money by paying for a brand name vs for white box with the idea that we would prevent this type of failure.
A similar ambiguity that I had to give up on using was “next Friday”. If it’s Monday, half the people think next Friday is the one in next week. The others that it is the next Friday, the one that occurs in five days.

Now it’s “this Friday” or “a week from Friday”
I've used it in unit testing. Where the check is "this string exists in an array" and the failure message includes the nearest result from the array.
Regarding the claim the "semi-" is unambiguous: the fundamental confusion with "bi-" arises from dealing with a rate, and the resultant lack of, if you will, semantic associativity. The same problem can arise in exactly the same way with the former prefix. And there's nothing they can do about it, as avowed descriptivists.

Ehw,no. The ego ( the prime source of identity ) only enters existence when we first encounter another. And even then, it's nature constantly differs, instigated by it's surroundings. In a nutshell, your "Us" and "Them" usually differ from mine and often mutates.
Essentially, this makes divide et impera & us versus them thinking even more stupid as we humans have "theory of mind" for a trait. Unlike many animals.

> You're correct, this is America. You can work hard and build something. America is intentionally setup NOT to give you anything, but to make as many opportunities as possible open to you. That's why people brave deserts to come here.

I am an American who emigrated to another country about a decade ago. I have a six-year-old and have twins due any day now. I don't know what planet you're living on, but the United States has been the textbook definition of a poor rich country. I refuse to raise my children in a place of destitution and precarity that can happen on-a-whim. We're safer in our new country as immigrants with a moderate safety net than we ever were back home.

A turning point in leaving the country: the rise of illiberal democracy (yes, this was evident well over a decade ago) and having to set up a medical fee fundraiser for an impoverished friend whom insurance denied life-saving medical care.

The day the naturalization clock rolls over, you bet I'm executing on that. I don't want a future in that joke country.

> he ACLU exists to defend civil rights regardless of how those rights might be used. They do not (or at least did not previously) exist in order to further a political agenda.

The former is inconsistent with the latter. The preservation of any set of civil rights you might conceive of is, absolutely, a “political agenda”.
Nope, in NL its not ambiguous.
Depress too. Depress the brake the example.
I'm confused about this part: "the capitalist system that leads to environmental destruction". Are you aware of the Aral Sea environmental disaster?

To quote Wiki: <<Formerly the fourth largest lake in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects.>>

As I understand, most of the diverted water was used to grow cotton.

That harm was done during the Soviet Union. Most would agree, the Soviet system was less capitalistic than the current Mainland Chinese system.

All types of governments can cause environmental ruin, and all types of governments can clean it up. Also, not all environmental ruin is permanent. The United States, UK, and Japan had extensive, wide-spread industrial pollution in the 1960s and 1970s. They spent the next 30 years cleaning up, and did a pretty good job.

Nobody is alleging that but you. Personally I don't think either "surveillance system needs a way to store what is collected" or "high-volume customers have economic leverage to demand confidentiality" are particularly intricate concepts.

Really interesting to hear some insight it from someone who is actually doing it for a change.

Thanks for the investigate work! No wonder I was surprised with the figures from the kayaking paper.

I've updated Wikidata to deprecate the incorrect incidence rate from the kayaking paper, and replaced the incidence rate with more up-to-date data from the US BTS which puts it at 0.8 deaths per 100 million vehicle-miles in the US. Using the assumption from the kayaking paper of 100 miles/day being the average distance traveled by car, whitewater sports are therefore 7-8 times more likely to lead to death than traveling in a car.

The key insight you missed is that it doesn't matter how far away in the ASCII table a letter is. Just assigning a 0 distance if equal or a 1 if different, per character, would have made things a lot easier.
