> Can you give a specific example of a word in Kalam or Tariana that cannot be expressed with a short sentence in English? It would follow that a short sentence in Kalam or Tariana may translate to a long sentence or short paragraph in English.

I’m not sure there are any examples which cannot be expressed with a short English sentence, but here’s one from Tariana:

Masitetakakakadekaɾupidanapitaniki.

‘We did not make each other smoke again at all, so I leant from someone else.’

The problem with this translation is that it doesn’t completely get across the ‘feel’ of the original — e.g. the fact that this information was learnt from someone else is an integral part of the original sentence, whereas specifying this in English feels somewhat unnatural.

> I'm sure the same would be true the other way around.

Exactly. A Kalam example:

Bin ak ñapanŋaŋ anup sop ak wki d ap tan d ap yap geb.

‘The woman is soaping her child.’

> And that the differences lie in which ideas can be expressed concisely and which must be expressed verbosely?

This is not something I entirely disagree with. Generally speaking, anything which can be expressed in one language can be expressed in another. The differences go beyond verbosity though: it is often the case that such a complete translation sounds really unnatural. For instance, Kalam sentences make it easy to express motion, so you get a lot of sentences like:

Bin pataj ogok am yg pak dad ap-elgp-al…
woman young the go dig hit carrying come-PST.HAB-3PL…

A literal translation would be ‘Young women used to go and dig and hit and carry and come back’, which doesn’t sound English-like at all. A more idiomatic translation might be something like, ‘Young women used to dig for rodents and kill them’, which focuses less on the sequence of events involved, but places more focus on the animals which were killed — something which is unusual in a Kalam sentence.
Presumably using the app?

The thing I hate most is if I click on search it starts autoplaying some random thing that has no relevance to my social circles, until I start typing my search query (usually just trying to find a friend or an account I already follow).
>"1.04c/kWh) are for huge industrial installation,

Unfortunately thats where the real action is, as much as i'd love to replace all energy generation with 'people's solar' its unlikely
Oh, for sure. There are always other factors in the real world.

But I think that's the main one that allowed Linux to snowball ahead of the other Unix(-likes).
Definitely still read it, that's not a spoiler. The implications of the Dark Forest are very pertinent to this sort of search for other life.
Typically they’re warranted to keep supplying something like 80% at the 20 year mark. They’ll actually keep producing a lot longer than that.
The thing I hate about Instagram is how lenient they are on nude pics. While Facebook has a strict policy, on Instagram a lot of celebrity content is borderline porn.
What could I possibly have posted that would trigger these ads?

Oh.

(Like I said. They know their audience.)
Yes, it is possible to do things ass- backwards. The first way is better for consumers, the second way exploits consumers at a subconscious level, and is more often leveraged to maximize profit than to benefit consumers.

E.g., Imagine all the good pharmaceutical research that could be funded if we just allowed blatant snake oil to be sold for unlimited profit? Surely the ends justify the means?

Corporations trend toward consumer exploitation and as they get bigger, there is less chance for any human concerns like ethics or morals to correct negative behavior.

I suppose the air (the wind) tends to be colder than objects in the sun, since most sunshine pass straight through the air.

A way to investigate this, is to step barefoot on flat black stones, in the summer sunshine
They are crazy at the start. The ones that do succeed do so by having a plan. Not by trying to be crazy / rebel without a cause. We still don’t know all the variables. Those with experience knew some and ultimately executed on it. They were informed by hands-on experience. Note the governments and the navy SEAL units from multiple countries are getting involved with the operations. Imagine being whomever you are and advocating for your solution. What message are you sending? That everyone should haggle with these operational experts and get an answer for why their ideas wouldn’t work?

Don’t you think the time, attention and energy that these people expend dealing with famous cool guy’s ideas are ultimately resources that are taken away from the core operation.
I generally assume that installing an app to use a website is voluntarily opting in to a worse experience, so you're probably right. Still, though, maybe a PiHole would be effective?

PDUFA and MDUFA (user fees) have no influence on FDA decision making. They are basically pocket change compared to the cost of bringing something on to market. Many think the fees are too low and ought to be increased.

Surrogate measures are a trade off that we as a society have decided to make to reduce regulatory burden and accelerate brining new therapies to market. Maybe you disagree with it, but someone with a terrible disease waiting on a new life saving treatment might see the issue differently. In some cases it is clear that the surrogate is a good endpoint. In others maybe less so. Regulators have the tough job of balancing the risks, benefits, and science when making the call on whether to accept one.

Generally FDA is doing many things to streamline and accelerate the regulatory process. This is good. We want them to innovate and take advantage of new scientific knowledge and technological breakthroughs.

Finally I would say that the real precedent for this was the decision for the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy drug (also happened on Woodcock’s watch). I kind of had this sinking feeling this was about to happen when I saw that she was acting commissioner. Say what you will about Trump, but Gottleib was a damn good appointment - at least until he got fired for going after vaping. Azar was a pussy and basically an empty suit.
I follow a few artists on it. It's good for when you want to see what people are making without the kind of chatter you get on Facebook or Twitter.
It’s not conjecture that the trades lobby against well understood policy changes (modlular housing, cross laminated timber construction) that increase productivity, it’s just not something written about in newspapers or academic studies because it is extremely niche and there is basically no audience for the content. There’s maybe 250 people in the state of California that understand the state of things here; they’re lobbyists for developers, lobbyists for trades unions, lobbyists for affordable housing non profits, and a few legislative aides for people on the relevant committees. They mostly know each other and don’t need a newspaper to report on the goings on.
My mindset goes like this: in the early 90's, if I had a Sun SparcStation, I could do all this; a raspi2 is reasonably on par with that, so I should be able to do the same with a raspi2.

What makes it a bit harder is that some software that ran on a SparcStation was carefully tailored to that machine while Chromium is not actually designed specifically for a raspi2... But you can go by with it. This thread gives some hints that I didn't try at the time like changing the cpu governor or using zswap. I didn't even overclocked it out of fear to reduce its lifespan.

But you of course, you're limited by what you can do and how you do it. I even began contributing to gnu-nano because I needed some features that weren't available on it and never got used to emacs/vim, but that is another story.
Looks like Ice Energy went bankrupt and they were leading the charge with these ice storage air conditioning units.
The panels I will be installing guarantee 90% output after 25 years.
I got a RockPi4 instead of raspi4. Definitely not as powerful but I don't regret it.
> Imagine all the good pharmaceutical research that could be funded if we just allowed blatant snake oil to be sold for unlimited profit?

Head into your nearest pharmacy and check out what they sell. Aisles upon aisles of homeopathic "drugs" that do nothing and cost nothing to produce.
I don't plan on selling, but the fact that my home will have $0 electric bill should help swing the price higher.
I feel like as soon as you start using Firefox and Chrome on these highly customised low-powered machines the power/ram saving customisation goes down the drain.
Agree with this, I'm a big fan of sci-fi and high-fantasy art, and follow a great deal of amazing artists on IG, there's more than a couple of great space paintings in my living room that I saw on the site, contacted the artist and offered to buy a print from. That and of course seeing friends in their own necks of the woods is what makes the platform for me.
I buy things from ads if the things solve problems I have. Sometimes I don't know about the solutions and the advertising works because FB/Insta know what I like. They work well and I'm grateful I get relevant ads.
> Am I likely to be missing anything interesting by largely ignoring Instagram?

I'm going to say, no. But then, if you consider mid-40s elderly, I'm positively geriatric.
Generally, though they did recently nail me by sending me an ad for a new type of earplug. The algorithm must've figured out I suffer from misophonia.
I see that as absolute win.
Before I completely dropped social media, I had a f—k the algorithm attitude towards the ads. I made a point of clicking through everything that was completely uninteresting to me. That road led to a non-stop flood of class-action lawyer ads.
Similar to endisneigh I take as many steps as I possibly can to avoid letting advertising influence me. I block ads wherever possible, and anything that slips through goes on a shit-list of companies that I will avoid buying from unless I have no other choice.
What’s Wrong with the Meritocracy (November 30, 2020)
https://archive.is/5m1Jf
I’ve heard this claimed definition of defunding over and over, and it just feels like gaslighting or a distraction tactic. I still think defunding is an unacceptable concept for multiple reasons:

1. Minorities want police. Not social workers, police. Progressives want to play the role of a white savior, but they ignore what minorities want and need, which means this whole push for defunding amounts to exploitation of minorities for political goals.

2. I find the rhetoric around police response to be hyperbolic. Your use of the word “bloodbath” feels that way to me. Use of force is rare, and unjust use of force is incredibly rare. The entire notion of defunding is disrupting an effective system to address a near non-existent problem based on a few heavily popularized anecdotal incidents.

3. The defund movement and abolish movement are the same. First off this is true in the literal sense since to “defund” is to stop all funding. Second, activists regularly claim they truly do mean abolish - at best they are attempting incremental steps towards that dangerous goal. Third, both reduced funding and complete defunding of police go hand in hand with other dangerous ideas like restorative justice policies in places like SF, the goal of which is to not enforce the law in order to reduce consequences (like prison time) in search of “equity”. I would reject any reduced funding policy that is part of this collection of related policies, so the semantic debate doesn’t feel particularly useful (for me).
If you're looking to cut down on solar heating, steel roofs or even lighter colored or painted roofs would be a far more cost effective option.
Opposite for me, I go out of my way to avoid brands that drown me in ads. I don’t mind the occasional ad, that’s just nature of doing business. It’s the ads that are nonstop in your face or the forced viral campaigns.
Right, I agree with what you say. And in a number of ways, my introverted trait is for similar reasons to yours (I too have no difficulty lecturing to a large hall full of people, etc.), but what's actually relevant in this context is the reason I've mentioned in a somewhat earlier post, specifically:

"<...> Of course, what's relevant to this story and these comments are the reasons behind the motivation for why some people are introverted and or why they act this way—as critically it determines whether a person considers said trait to be either distressing and unwanted or desirable and necessary—or perhaps even essential:"
Some of your younger friends / relatives / colleagues think Facebook is for their parents’ generation and put the stuff they want their contemporaries to see on Instagram. But not too young, there’s a generation behind them that thinks Instagram is for old people.

In terms of pure functionality there’s absolutely nothing special about Instagram. At this point the two products are reskins of the same functionality.
I expect you can find installers cheaper than IKEA. I got quotes for a 8kW system at the beginning of this year, and prices were €0.7 - €0.9 per watt, before incentives.

Coke stopped buying advertising once. Cause everyone already knows about them, so why pay for ads? Their sales dropped dramatically. Now they pay for lots of ads.
Plenty places restricted or entirely stopped using the adeno-based vaccines because of the clots. The test you suggest would be useful, but is there a reason to assume there is an effective way of testing for risk? Once the main mechanism was found, tests to detect it happening/distinguish from other clots were developed to make it easier to treat. It's not like nothing happened about this.

The marketing is overkill. And I have never enjoyed water out of a can. Glad to get 750ml of carbonated water out a glass bottle than 1L out of a plastic bottle for the same price.

I'm working on a little side project where you can share snippets of your design to test them for clarity (5-second tests, basically). The idea is you can go through everyone's designs, answer some questions about them, and then get feedback on yours.

Not sure if it'd be helpful for what you're looking for (and I'm just getting started so there aren't a lot of posts yet — working on that), but hey, worth a shot. IsThisClear.com
Yeah, I do this too. I don't know why or how, but on a subconscious level, my brain registers online ads as something bad / malicious, and so anything I see through an ad is automatically labelled as bad.

I even freak out if I accidentally click on an ad on mobile because I feel as if I have downloaded a piece of malware.

I don't know where this comes from...possibly due to having been there back when many ads really were malware? I am not sure.

This is a bad attitude to have, but at least if implementing those (largely useless or unnecessary) features they would be able to try out new technology, new architecture, or something to give their day a little something.
Why are you browsing celebrity content in the first place?
This has already been the case in Seattle for a while, where even some upper middle class neighborhoods (not just wealthy enclaves) will organize a community-paid private security program just like businesses hire similar services. It’s necessary because the police have been woefully understaffed for a decade or more, and have been unable to investigate most crimes like burglaries. Here’s an article from over 5 years ago detailing the rise of private residential security in response to “blatant lawlessness” (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/citizen-anti-crime...). Unfortunately, re-reading this now, I can say that every problem detailed here has only become worse since then.
> From a technical perspective, European emissions standards do not reflect everyday usage of the vehicle as manufacturers are allowed to lighten the vehicle by removing the back seats, improve aerodynamics by taping over grilles and door handles or reduce the load on the generator by switching off the headlights, the passenger compartment fan or simply disconnecting the alternator which charges the battery.

1. the pricing is almost as expensive as Slack. May be a free tier or longer trial?

2. How does one discover past decisions? Some pointers from documentation? Some easy permanent URL’s? How do we ammend/link (new decisions taken on old questions, given new marker conditions)

2. how do you suggest we prevent blaming/pointing-fingers about bad decisions? I understand it is not a tooling problem, but just curious if you had any ideas around it.
Judging from five minutes of browsing the go runtime sources, they poll some lambda API:

https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-go/blob/159d1c69878562cd54...

The response is apparently posted to another API endpoint.

Googling for the environment variable actually specifying the API endpoint, I found https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtimes-custom... which seems to spell out some of the details.

Of course that just moves the question to "where does the runtime API get the event from?" but at that point they could be doing all kinds of things, I guess.

Now I'm curious to see what happens if you ask for more events before returning a response for the first event you got. Can you actually process events in parallel?
Yes, somewhat. Though probably not good for snow or high wind load. But an unconditioned, properly-ventilated attic with radiant barrier probably gets most of the way there with less labor cost or roof deck damage.
After a day of trying it out, I have to say... this is really terrific. I was fully prepared to be disappointed, but I was pleasantly surprised by it at every turn. I hope I can replace all my yml files with a single Earthly file someday.

> it's questionable if I learnt anything useful other then how to get hobby DEs working on ancient hardware

I did similar things, and on one hand I feel it’s ok that it’s not all “useful” - it was a hobby after all, but on the other hand I do feel it had benefits - you learned patience, creative thinking, problem solving, and working on those projects for a long stretch of time almost has a meditative effect I felt. I’m sorry that a lot of modern kids probably don’t get to experience this as much as everything is pre-packaged, system-on-a-chip, non-fixable etc. (And people are more careful of how they dispose of computers due to privacy).
Does anyone know where companies get those style of illustrations from? I always see them

Yeah, they’re tailored. I get ads for perf dev tools, compilers. I still get ads for vehicles months after buying one.

I’ve only had one ad that was “eerie.” Coworkers were talking about a kind of beverage I’d never heard of (talking over zoom, on a work-only machine), got an ad for the product later that day. Could be that I just recognized the name from our convo which caused me to scroll back up...

It's important to remember that GNOME is primarily funded/developed by Red Hat, who are owned by IBM. Red Hat's goal isn't to make something for the kind of person who would install Linux on a laptop themselves -- they're trying to make a clone of macOS they can sell in bulk to enterprise customers.

yeah it could be all of that and it could also be supply chain delivery/manufacturing techniques that cause the difference... who knows? I've worked with some generic drug manufacturers and some big name drug manufacturers and the clean room/processes are definitely different. it's above my paygrade as to why it is more effective though; that's for sure.
The fact that you use the term "bait" illustrates that it is about self-control and not compulsion.
