I got to read, shortly after the Tao, a book that compiled for part of the texts something like 4 of the 'best'[0] translations. It was very enlightening to see how different yet similar they could be. If you think of it as semantic vectors, I would say the meaning is probably the common part between all translations. It is definitely a recommended exercise to read different ones.

It's not unique to taoist texts either, as I recommend to check different translations of works such as Dante's Comedy, Beowulf, or Goethe's Faust. When there is meaning, style, sub-meanings and connotations, a translation can only convey some parts accurately. Different translations will usually make different trade-offs.

[0] Note that 'best' is a term that markedly changed meaning these last two centuries, for anyone who would read more in-depth about the subject. For instance some of the earliest translators dismissed more modern taoist authors as having strayed too far from the Tradition, but the attitude changed in a few generations.
I've seen this sentiment mentioned many times. That at school "abuse is more likely to be noticed". But how much more likely? How likely is noticed abuse to be resolved in a meaningful way?

As an anecdote I have close family member that teaches younger elementary school grades. They have told me about signs of possible abuse they've seen but no available recourse.

I'm also aware that school is a also an environment where abuse occurs. How can we say that we are not exposing public school children to more abuse per capita than homeschooled? There is a school in my neighbourhood that often has the police called in. Lockdowns over students bringing in knives and attacking each other.

It would be good to know these things if making an argument that pivots on abuse.

One last anecdote. All the experiences I can remember having that I'd consider abuse occurred in either: school, work or public transit. Some were bad interactions with strangers in passing, other were more chronic (generally at school).

While it is true terrible things can happen to kids at home, you need stats to compare this with the alternative before a stance should be taken.

> For the life of me, I can’t understand why anyone but a public-sector teacher being finally held to account would fight against giving parents options to place their kids in a school they see fit.

Because they want to indoctrinate your kids. A lot of teachers get into the profession because of a compelling social justice urge, much like a missionary from the church. When they are outside the public school system they are harder to reach.

Additionally, the more kids in the system equates to more political power for the teachers unions since they get to expand.

Looks great. When measuring impact ideally you would try these changes out individually instead of all at once, as that's really what will give you learnable lessons. But running such experiments is very time consuming, so I'm still happy with just this.

"Breathing in mineral dust is bad new" was pretty-common knowledge several centuries ago. So I'd bet that there are a h*ll of lot of other systematic workplace safety failures in Australia.

Amusing idea: Medical, disability, and death benefits for the affected workers are paid with the revenues from a new tax, levied on properties where engineered stone was installed. Thus giving property owners some reason to be wary of $TrendyNewThing, especially when it's being pushed by an industry with a dodgy worker safety record.

I had an escalation clause in my offer, but I adjusted it so it said something to the effect that the clause would only be in effect for comparable offers. Then I defined comparable offers to be offers that were for the same type of loan with a minimum down payment and deposit amount. I wanted to protect against the buyers getting a higher offer that they were likely to reject on some other basis, but using that higher offer to make me pay more for the house. The downside was that I could be beat out by other legitimate buyers whose escalation clause didn't consider the quality of the offer they were beating. I cared more about not feeling like I was being swindled though. I got the house after about a $10k escalation, and the seller's agent presented the competing offer so I could verify it met the conditions of my escalation clause.
Yes, cheap money literally means “profitable next year” becomes “profitable _someday_”. To people who have only been in the tech industry for the last decade this feels like “profits don’t matter” because it’s never been “someday” in their entire careers, but now with interest rates back up “someday” is coming very fast at many companies (and has maybe already arrived at some).

We're going to have to agree to disagree about that. Have you ever actually faced that choice? I haven't. Until I have, I don't think I'm in a position to make that decision on someone else's behalf.

Here's another thing to consider: we allow people to put their lives at risk in exchange for money and social prestige by joining the military. The only substantive difference I see between that and selling an organ is that the latter doesn't provide any tangible benefits to the elites who make the rules whereas the former does.

My problem with homeschooling is that it's completely unregulated. This is a huge problem given that parental involvement is the single biggest determinant of children's success and growth.

Public school is treated like a huge daycare by many, but at least kids from negligent parents _had_ to go. My concern is that parents can now say "we're homeschooling" when in reality they're doing fuck all and, worse, are using their kids as house labor.

This is where public schooling is hypocritical. There are various forms of education about race, gender, etc., but almost no mandatory education on religion?

I'm not saying indoctrination, but education. Shouldn't everyone have a basic understanding of the history and tenets of Buddhism? Atheism? Hinduism? And so on? I think so. Even if the prism of importance is postmodern and focuses on respect fo others' self-identification, religion is clearly a major aspect in self-identification or we wouldn't treat the subject as controversial.

There are pros and cons to the abstraction that an ORM brings. Assuming it’s decent (like Django), you can be guaranteed that the queries it generates are good enough. They’re not always perfect, and sometimes need help depending on how convoluted your schema and desired query are, but they’re decent.

The downside is this can cause devs to never have to think in terms of what the DB is capable of, so they may not consider writing the code such that the ORM decides to write the query differently. I’ve specifically seen a dearth of semijoins in output, even though they’re a common construct in RDBMS, and often far faster for the desired end goal. Sometimes the SQL planner itself will produce them, of course, but that’s not a guarantee either.
So many people so concerned about CO2 emissions from computing devices... all the way down to Microsoft setting the default timeout for Bluetooth on Windows 11 to ONE MINUTE. It took me 2 weeks of hair pulling and updating everything before I realized why my mouse and keyboard would stop working, because it NEVER occurred to me in my WILDEST dreams that an OS developer would be given the insane task of creating a timeout like this, and writing a UI to control it. Then I realized that some middle manager in the guts of Microsoft probably got a bonus by being able to tell his management that "Microsoft" was now saving a collective million pennies a year of energy costs by crippling this basic feature. Well done, guys.

It's very hard to ask one of these systems to copy an entire piece of text and then change one or two things in it. They will often make small errors. So it's easier to ask for patches and apply them manually to edit the code or text that's being worked on. Happy to talk more how do I find you?

There is no silver bullet. Money works on most contexts, but sometimes reputation, social structure and idealism work too. The open-source culture and Wikipedia are great examples.

Your reply presupposes that "empirical tests" are the only way to establish truth, which is inadequate. What is the "empirical test" for a mother's love for her child? Or a teacher's love for a student? What is the empirical test for someone being the mayor? What is the empirical test for whether someone is in a relationship with someone else?

Empiricism is blind to most of human experience.
"only" is a strong word and obviously not true. Mainly? Sure... but only? a company with thousands of employees "only" wants one thing?

And saying it's illegal is a bit too strong as well. Maybe in the EU but even then? The EU just made a decade of things obsolete when forcing Apple to switch to USB-C so saying "companies can't do that because illegal" obviously isn't true.

And what is illegal in EU is legal in America or vice versa... or brazil... or China... so saying "society doesn't allow" is too simplistic on that level as well.

In America it's illegal to break DRM. Companies like Apple and Nintendo do stuff so that you can't run custom code or use unauthorized attachments/parts/etc. if you break the DRM you can get sued as a company that provides that service.

And you haven't address the fact that MS, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, etc all have to have stable trustworthy platforms for gaming - that goes beyond "they only want money"- sure, they want money but part of getting that is having platforms people want to use. That they trust. That makes cheating harder and provides a level playing field.

Take a step back and realize that "greedy" companies aren't as simplistic as you want to make them out to be and even if they are "greedy"? They do have valid reasons to do shit like this.
It's the distribution step that's illegal, since you don't own the original binary. If you can't distribute the original binary, why can you distribute a modified version of it?

On the other hand, did you know Tantura (1) Deir Yassin (2) where confirmed cases of killing and raping of minors -per the vets who served that time? and around 1mill Palestinians were forced to leave their houses and homeland back in 1948, and most of them ended up where? in Gaza!, that also has their refugee camp bombed yesterday.. Gaza since 2005 is an open air prison, even years ago they tried to march peacefully to the borders to show the world that there are people still in there dying slowly (3), so drop that victim tone because a “victim” cannot cut water/electricity/internet/food/logistics instantly and proceed to drop 18,000 tons of bombs that’s equivalent to 1.5 times the force of bomb of Hiroshima. Israel is who created that resistance by occupying the land and violating all international laws, most of these resistance fighters are orphans who have their parents killed in previous bombing, and the west bank is under a strict martial law that will put you behind the bars for likes on social media, trying to isolate what happened in Oct/7th as the previous 75years were two loving peaceful “sovereign” nations next to each other before one attacked is pure rhetoric propaganda, only fools will believe it.

> Hashes should be salted. If you salt, you are fine, if you don't you aren't.

> Whether the salt can be kept indefinitely, or is rotated regularly etc is just an implementation detail, but the key with salting hashes for analytics is that the salt never leaves the client.

I think I'm missing something.

If the salt is known to the server, then it's useless for this scenario. Because given a known salt, you can generate the hashes for every IP address + that salt very quickly. (Salting passwords works because the space for passwords is big, so rainbow tables are expensive to generate.)

If the salt is unknown to the server, i.e. generated by the client and 'never leaves the client'... then why bother with hashes? Just have the client generate a UUID directly instead of a salt.
That's what IBM thought.

I'm not fond of the calories/lb calculations because everything's really relative to where your caloric equilibrium point is, but this is an aside. Let's take your numbers at face value, and now consider that in 1970 the average American was eating 2,025 calories. Whereas by 2010 we were up to 2,481 [1] - a total increase of 456 calories/day!

If we take your numbers at face value, that'd be a delta of 684 pounds per 20 years. Again kind of an obvious indicator why these long term calorie/pound measurements are pretty dubious, but at the same time also an indicator of why diet is just so much more important than exercise for weight management.

you'll also get some sort of mental and spiritual diabetes from such an approach to life. my impression is that people who die don't have a better idea about living healthy and happy than those who are blessed with health. those recommendations from the death bed seem to be rather reflecting regret regarding what ever area of life that person used to neglect.
Conventional methods for bed bug eradication, such as chemical insecticides, are often ineffective due to the bugs' growing resistance. Moreover, these chemicals may pose health risks to humans and pets, and their repeated use can lead to environmental concerns. Vacuuming and cleaning can help reduce bed bug populations but are not always sufficient to eliminate the problem entirely.

> He has translated many works from other ancient languages

Not really. Most of his other "translations" from ancient languages were made the same way as with the Tao te ching: he simply rewrote existing translations. As far as I can tell, the Book of Job translation is the only one made from the source text. I don’t think you understand how notorious Mitchell has been within the field of literary translation for decades now.

> is a trained Zen monk.

Zen and Taoism are different philosophical systems. As the linked paper underlines, choosing someone with a background in Zen to translate that foundational work of Taoism, was peculiar, but it is understandable within the context of a Western publishing market that wants to cash in on wisdom lit and doesn’t really care about the details of Asian religions.

> There is room for multiple translations and interpretations.

Attention is finite and marketing is dishonest. There are myriads of people out there for whom the Mitchell Tao te ching is the only one they will be exposed to, and they won’t even be aware that it isn’t a real translation and they will need to consult other translations in order to make up for that.
