> for someone to gain someone else must lose equally

Oh, you can gain love, satisfaction, respect, and all the other things that money can't buy and it doesn't cost anyone else a thing, but the minute you gain something that money can buy, you've gained a little bit of trading power within the economy, which everyone else has lost.

> They certainly don't increase in lockstep with economic output, either globally or locally, but neither are they fixed-sum, where for someone to have more someone else must have less in the same degree (except maybe "political power").

Safety from harm and freedom of expression, perhaps, don't come at the cost of others, but those examples were meant to illustrate that some things of value--economic value even--truly are "fixed" and do not increase simply because of progress and innovation. But "political power" is the biggie, anyway. That's the most important one. That's what extremely wealthy people are buying. It's not yachts and mansions. It's political power, which has enormous implications for the rest of us.

I worked in the public sector of Denmark for years and you’re going to have some real issues handling authorisation of users from external sources such as our digital identity called mitID without JavaScript.

Some forms and many parts of a government website can indeed be done without JS and should at the very least be done with server side rendering to minimise the usage of JS as much as possible. But large parts of a “modern” government website will typically require some JS in order to operate properly.

I’m sure some people would accept being paid to try out without the company having any commitment to hiring, but those are probably not the people you’d actually want to hire. If a company can’t commit to hiring then why would a confident professional bother with the company? A probationary period seems like a reasonable compromise where the company commits to the expense of onboarding while still having an escape if it goes poorly.

Adding whitespace is a pretty simple solution. Heck if you really, really absolutely needed to resolve tonal ambiguity in kana you could add something to Kana to do that. That'd enhance the readability even further since, it's basically impossible for foreigners to learn correct intonation in Japanese unless they explicitly study it and that's on top of memorizing all that Kanji, but it would become explicit. I can recall exactly once in the last 10 years having a conversation where the there was ambiguity between two homonyms and someone asked a clarifying question to resolve it. The vast majority of the time it's just clear from context.

So.. I would say even that ambiguity isn't something people would actually have much a problem with.

It feels as if spending too much time on Physics has some psychotic effect on the mind, not unlike psychotropic substance abuse.

There's much wrong in delegating authority over the concept of time to physicists as there is wrong in delegating authority over any concept to any science that did not create it.

But of the specific case of Physics dense conception of Time, there's more wrong to point out.

However I can only say that the heart better understands time than the mind does.

I thought this was an interesting read. There's certainly a lot of room for improvement for websites that allow you to sign up for government benefits (although i suspect in some cases the friction is intentional).

My biggest gripe with govenrnment websites is not the parts where they're taking in user data, but the parts where they silo their public data. In my experience this is the worst at the local and federal level. Infuriatingly, my local city council does not OCR their most recent minutes, but they do OCR their archived minutes. So you can search their minutes, just as long as they aren't relevant anymore. Another thing is using javascript buttons to serve PDF files, and filenames have no refeence point with their titles. So if you need a few at once you've gotta stop and manually change the filename from 123455325.pdf to something intelligible.
Seniors can be mentored, too, and there are always ways to grow. A few examples: learning new languages/frameworks, applying AI, having more of a leader role, communicating more effectively, getting more involved in product, trunk first development, writing better tests, etc.

I had to choose between a Panasonic OLED and a LG OLED when buying a TV.

I went with Panasonic and don’t regret it for a second. The TV turns on in 10 seconds flat from standby to picture, there are no ads anywhere (it’s just not a thing Panasonic does), the OS is invisible, and the picture is amazing. For other readers: don’t buy LG garbage.

It took me a few goes to refine the idea. I started with the word sorrowful and thought "ok what could not possibly be sorrowful?" -> a car parking space.

Ok then what attributes could a car parking not have -> being liquid

Then once I had got the idea then I wanted some other physical attribute this nonexistant thing might have and that got me to temperature.

I agree with your idea that it's quite interesting to think about properties of concepts we are currently unable to communicate at all in our language. For example if my intuition is correct, even if you have two concepts which are completely meaningless you would be able to discern similarity/difference between them conceptually, and this is leading to your centroid idea. If we look at those centroids, some might land in semantically meaningful places ("Who knew? The average of tennis and squash is badminton!") whereas some might end up in this void space and that might be quite fascinating.

I've always thought[1] that creativity is essentially about making connections between concepts that had previously been thought to be unconnected and therefore it seems to me that some (not all) of these void spaces have potential to be joined in to the mainstream semantic space over time as people find ways to link these concepts to things we already have some meaning for. That's very interesting to me.

Apple optimizes for IPC and power, that means wide architecture and large die area. The rest optimize for throughput and cost. That means small dies and higher power consumption.

No one bought it on those alternative ISAs, however. The Alphas and MIPS vendors had a port but what percentage of those systems ended up running a Unix? This time it is different since DOS and 16bit Windows is out of the picture.

> The best numbers I'm seeing for calcium and magnesium indicate that it's only about 10% daily recommended dose in 2L of tap water. I'm pretty confident I'm eating enough veggies to make up for that loss. Also I'm a salt fiend so I get plenty of that from my food.

It's not about nutritional intake, but the acute effects of ingesting it. If you put cells in distilled water, the cells absorb water due to osmosis and rupture. There may be some minor risk of chronic damage accumulated to the upper digestive tract (though I'm not an expert).

> I find the water from my still tastes actually really good. It's silky smooth, nothing like distilled water that's been sitting in a gross plastic jug for weeks.

Does it actually taste, or do you just enjoy not having a taste? If it has a taste, it is not entirely distilled; there are residual minerals and substances in it (which negate the potential risks of drinking it, at least from the previous point). However, that kind of defeats the "distilled" aspect of it...

How about an SD card slot with a configuration in a plaintext file, so that one isn't tied to the software which may or may not be available in the future.

I just got myself a Sony Mavica which shoots photos on a floppy disk, and I can still use it without thinking about which OS my computer runs.

Same thing. My point is that the cost of the digging up is proportional to the cost of the diggers. Cheap labor digs up the fossil fuels cheaply. It isn't that labor becomes expensive for everything else except for the machines, and the fuel for them.

> No, a flatter income distribution is not inherently better.

I didn't say it's "inherently" better. I said it's better for "the non-tech workers", which is just a stand-in for "anyone below the median." I'm sure flattening the income distribution might not be regarded as better by people above the median. Oh well!

> Which is better: 90% of people with $60,000 income and the top 10% with $600,000, or 100% of people with an income of $10,000?

The latter example is better for everyone except for the people who would've been in the top 10% in the former example. The scale of the dollar amounts is just arbitrary, after all. It could be a flat income distribution where everyone makes $10,000, or $100,000, or $100,000,000, and it wouldn't make a bit of difference.

> Again: I care about my own material conditions. If a genie gave me the choice to double my income doubling (in real terms, as in the actual value of goods and services accessible to me doubles), while everyone else's income increases tenfold of course that's be a good thing. Why would I forego an improvement to my own conditions?

You haven't. You just experienced a loss in your material conditions. Congratulations. Now, everyone else has 5 times as much income as you (assuming everyone started equally). They can easily outbid you for housing, for food, for vacations, for everything. You better think fast and invent something of value that they don't have so you have a little monopoly at least for a little while, otherwise you're screwed.
The amount of Chinese words is usually much greater in written Japanese or in legal/technical/scientific jargon than in casual spoken Japanese.

The proportion of Chinese words also depends on the manner of accounting the compound words and the inflected words.

I have seen the claim that the modern Japanese vocabulary consists roughly of 45% Chinese words, 45% native Japanese words, 8% English words and 2% words borrowed from other languages, mainly from Portuguese or other European languages.

I do not know what assumptions have been used to compute these percentages, but they are similar to the frequencies of the words encountered in many modern Japanese texts.

There are a lot of modern Japanese words that are composed from two or three or four or even more Chinese words. If all the compounds would be counted separately, the proportion of Chinese words in the Japanese vocabulary could increase a lot.
There wasn't really an "industrial revolution".

The term is just carefully doctored spin and propaganda from the British Empire.

Europe has been manufacturing at scale with industrial processes for centuries before the "industrial revolution". (And industrial-scale mechanized mining dates back to the stone age.)

Basically, it wasn't a "revolution", just a gradual slow development of more of the same.

I learned hard way that you have to:

- have GOOD ventilation and don't bother with water washables,

- nail down Resin XP2 Matrix test prints,

- use BOTH stirrer wash and ultrasound, and dry prints for hours before curing to mitigate swelling(marginal effects),

- and use 10-15x longer exposure for first layer curing time,

for SLA prints. Otherwise resin crumbles apart, leaves ugly marks on surface for first half inch, and so on. If magnetic beds are used, Z limit switch trigger arm must be adjusted too. Support-free is possible, people doing skyscraper towns are to some extent cargo culting.

Yup, 余光中 is one of such authors who urge people to write authentic instead of "westernized" Chinese. I wouldn't call it "blame", though. Just like in English, there's certain standard on good writing. In Chinese, 白话文 is really the way to go. That's why among the authors in the May 4th movement, 钱钟书´s modern Chinese is just so much more pleasant to read than Lu Xun's. If you don't believe me, try reading his translation of Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls. Oh my...

Joan Pinkham wrote a book titled The Translator's Guide to Chinglish[1]. It's a fun book to read and really teaches native Chinese speakers how to write good English. Interestingly, a lot of the lessons in that book can be applied to Chinese writing too, such as avoiding nounification, and removing duplication. For instance, just say "dislike" instead of "to have a dislike for". And instead of saying "give guidance to", just say "guide".

> coal (a fuel you can run the engine on) is of course going to be very cheap and abundant directly above the mine where it is being produced and for the atmospheric engine to make sense as an investment the fuel must be very cheap indeed.
