I'm a guy who likes abstract stuff, and that definition seems extraordinarily abstract to me, to the point of obfuscating the actual meaning of what we're talking about. Am I right that seems that the definition of grammar there is an almost-meta abstraction of structure?

I still can't help but believe that, in practice the 'less radical' points I mentioned, like tense, mood and case (which I think would be switches, right?) arise differently in different contexts, if at all, owing to differences in cognition in various groups, and thus reinforces that mode of cognition in someone who learns the language.

The difference in morphology between, say, Ancient Greek and Modern English is pretty drastic, so what gives? In fact, I don't think English has ever been as morphologically-complex as Ancient Greek, and yet some hypothesize that they even descended from the same Indo-European language...if both languages start out from the same point, but evolve with a completely-different grammatical structure that makes different concepts explicit or notable, why would that happen in light of a true universal grammar that is inherent to everyone?

It's one thing to say that everyone at a certain intellectual level have a capacity to understand and use certain grammatical constructs, but to claim them as inherent to all people seems sketchy...

>The theory is that the principles of universal grammar arise directly from the structure of the brain, while the parameters are set during language acquisition.

Wouldn't that prove that language inherently affects cognition, and thus proves linguistic relativism? I don't think you actually made a point in favor of linguistic relativism, but that was the theme of this whole discussion thread.

IANAE (electrician), but per my understanding, putting copper cable inside a PVC (or other plastic) conduit is among the worst things you can do; it gives the strike only one place to go: down the copper.

If they didn't, they should have to send you a letter telling you to stop building your list.

I believe AT&T did send such a letter.
Anecdotal data point to the contrary: the company I work for switched to "unlimited" as of the 1st of last year. I took more vacation on the unlimited plan than I used to than I had on the accrued-PTO plan (4 weeks vs. 3). So it can happen, if the culture is right, and you have a manager that actually understands the value of vacation for both the employee and the employer.
There's more than that though--he actually had a record on civil liberties dating back to the Illinois State Senate, where he pushed through legislation to videotape police interrogations.

In the latter case, you can simply say, "I'm used to X weeks", where X is the number of weeks per year that you personally usually took off while on the "unlimited" plan.

> The idea of a subjunctive tense only exists implicitly in English

I can't say I understand what you mean by implicit, but this is a very strange thing to say. The following sentences use a subjunctive verb:

1. I demand that you return my saw.

2. I will ask that he not show overt disrespect in my class.

As you can see, the english subjunctive form (subjunctive is not a tense; it is a mood) is productive and applies to any verb in the language (and is different from the present tense for every verb in the language), which places it on roughly the same level of existence as, say, the past tense.
Well the UoL one is done by distance and is theoretically open to anyone who can make it to their exam centers (~30 across Canada), not just those resident in the UK.

Or you could take the foundations of comp sci from edX[1] and/or the credited Coursera courses[2](you won't be getting a CS degree without at least a reasonable amount of maths and stats) with a view to 1) completing a degree mostly that way over the next few years as more like them become available with a finishing year or two somewhere that accepts the credits, or 2) using just a few of those courses and a reference/letter to gain mature entry to UoT (bypassing highschool requirements) or something like that with the understanding being that if you can motivate yourself to complete them, then you will be able to complete UoT and it will therefore be worth the money in increased earning capacity.

What if the cause for the accident was that the driver was responding to a 'ride available' text from Uber? It's not a bad argument to say that Uber requires that drivers pay attention to their cell phone when not in an active ride, hence they should be liable when the driver is able to respond to pick up requests (ie, is looking to do a pickup)

Just a tangent here... I donated a car to charity this past year and was really pleased with the outcome. The charity was able to sell the car at auction for more than a dealer and a private party offered me locally - so everybody won. Chances are I will do the same in the future, and would encourage others to do the same, IE: it's an easy way to help a charity. That said, while you are thinking about new ways to move used cars, you might also consider how to get into the charity auction business for cars. Reason I say this is that I was able to donate my car to a large, well-known national organization, but I actually approached several local/regional groups first. The local/regional groups were horribly organized - didn't return phone calls, etc. Perhaps there is a social-good angle you could take, if you are exploring this market, as there are many worthwhile groups that just don't have the organizational skills to handle processing the cars.

English has a subjunctive, but it's only ever visible in the 3rd person singular.

While English may not have a dual number, a case system (anymore, though it's still seen vestigially in the pronouns), or a verb conjugation expressing the future tense, the point is that English speakers are not constrained in what they are capable of expressing.

For the dual number, we simply say "two cows" or "both cows". To express the future, we have "will", "be going to", or a present (progressive) future construction like:

"We play tennis on Saturday" / "We are playing tennis on Saturday"

Whereas other languages use case to express certain semantic/grammatical relationships, English fills this void with word order and a slew of prepositions.

So at worst English speakers expend a few extra syllables on certain ideas. But there is no limitation on expression or cognition, which is the claim made by a strong version Sapir-Whorf.
I think it is fairly uncontroversial to say that the US criminal justice system is a joke. Very few cases go to court (and thus juries) because of the huge amount of power lea bargaining gives to the state.

How does French qualify as using a base-20 counting system? Intuitively, I'd expect that to mean

- special words for the numbers 1-19

- special words for 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, ..., 380

- special words for 400, 8000, 160,000, etc.

Instead, what we actually see in French is

- special words for the numbers 1-16

- special words for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80

- special words for 100, 1000, 1,000,000, etc.

This is a base-10 system (with the odd quirk), as far as I can see.

Right, you basically still need to get the little plastic disks--from Netflix or elsewhere--if you want to watch quality movies, especially recent ones. Someone I know there told me a year or two back that people get streaming with the intention of watching movies but they end up watching TV shows instead.

This doesn't quite apply to me because I quit streaming when they did the whole splitting of physical media from streaming thing. And signed back up when House of Cards came out. But I do view streaming today as a source for TV shows and any movies I want to watch on it are basically lagniappe.

That would be one way to get an electric company to stop overcharging their customers. That would not be an optimal choice. What you shouldn't do is just make the electric company pay back the customers what they overcharged, and have that be the end of it.

The electric company overcharging all its customers is also not an apt analogy. Some people are harmed by pervasive surveillance more than others. Also, most people are hardly even customers. The NSA's main benefit to me, for example, a person living in California, is probably in the tips they give to the DEA. I'm certainly not worried about being invaded by Russia or bombed by terrorists.

When "we" decided to grant the government a monopoly on violence, there was nothing in the contract about letting them hack and sabotage American computer systems or commit other crimes at will.
I think your analogy of an employee commuting to work is wrong.

Is a taxi cab driver only working for the taxi company while they are driving passengers? I think most people probably would not think that's the case. Driving the car is what Uber drivers are supposed to do, so it's not wrong to assume that an Uber driver is working for Uber while driving around, waiting for their next fare. The fact that their insurance doesn't cover an Uber driver while in between fares sounds weird to me, but I guess it's a function of the Uber driver's employment agreement with Uber, which is probably too complex for regular people to be familiar with (I would never have guessed it).

I think the more interesting legal question is whether or not Uber has liability due to how potentially distracting the app is for an Uber driver. Polk and Ellis is a fairly well-trafficked intersection, so if I had to speculate, maybe the driver was distracted by the Uber app, looking for the next ride. If that's the case, and Uber knowingly made an app that is distracting to drivers, does Uber have any liability? If I were the family that was hit, that's certainly a question I would ask.

How sure are you that university is out of the picture? I failed most of high school and then dropped out. Eventually I decided to go to university, where I got a CS degree. I had to take a remedial Math course my first semester that didn't count towards graduation, but overall college was fairly easy and rewarding. I did graduate with student loan debt, which I'm still repaying. I got a job doing programming right after graduation and I've been thriving.

The only thing university admissions required was some kind of high school equivalency and ACT or SAT scores. I took the GED and ACT, and my scores exceeded placement requirements by a huge margin. Your mileage may vary outside of the US.

Are you certain you don't meet admissions requirements for any nearby universities? Have you checked, or are you just assuming?

And if deflation hits, savers will be less fucked, but still pretty fucked.
