This compiles to "He likes 2 green cats" in English.

The representation makes no assumption of SVO order, the grammatical category of numbers, and what cases and tenses are available.

(OPRESENT ((OSUBJECT (OPRONOUN (3, 0))) ((OVERB, "like") OMUL (2, (OCAST (OATTR (OCOLOR "brown")), (ONOUN (OANIMAL, "cat")))))))

I'm sure someone smart will tell me what assumption I made that's invalid in some language I do not know, but this already is better, and simpler, and more correct than a lot of text-mapping based internalizations I've seen.

And I will be able to correct my S-expr to get rid of more assumptions, and I will just make it longer perhaps, but I won't need to write all the convoluted code prevalent in the article.

Also, with AST-based representation you can add whatever context you need. For example, were I to have used "pig" instead of "cat", this would have already worked fine, since we have (OANIMAL, "pig") and not (OPERSON, "pig"). This is trivial, but you can add whatever amount of context required.
No need to take his word for it. If you look at the Austrian school theories you'll see that those things aren't accounted for. Another crucial element that isn't considered is velocity of money, and the concomitant effects on money supply. The Austrian school has a lot of important insights, but it omits several important factors. It has a good and useful set of ideas, but it's not the grand unified theory of economics that many libertarians (like me) wish it were.
Another way to read this is that a best practice is for a professional CEO to take pains to share power with the founders in critical areas.

If you have a strong CEO with the humility and discipline to do that, it can be just as powerful a combination that lets a founder still add maximum value.
From my experience with professional translators I would have to go out of my way to specify context if I wanted a good translation, because professional translators are too technologically illiterate to get stuff right.

You really need to take the time to learn and appreciate the food culture in Italy, oddly we have a very diverse and broad/spread culture all over the country. I personally don't enjoy Neapolitan cuisine that much but even that it's to say very little, you can literally travel a few km away from a city and find completely different food and cuisine. If you get bored of eating stuff in Naples, that's because you are only eating the same stuff every day. Try to discover more food and more cuisine even just in the neighboring town, because I can guarantee it's going to be very different.

Maybe I'm a bit biased because I'm from Bologna in Emilia-Romagna and I would say that's among the best cuisines in the world. We brought you prosciutto, tagliatelle, ragu', tortellini, lasagna, balsamic vinegar, etc etc. :) And even here there are a lot of differences in food from town to town.

What if a fat person is trying to lose weight ? Ads have measured that this individual is likely to buy cake and present him with delicious assortiments everywhere he goes. It's beneficial for the companies but what about that individual ?

Conversely, what if the algorithms have decided that the person is a good lead for a local gym, and those ads push him or her into losing weight?

We're all influencing each other, constantly. In a way, banner ads and such are some of the most honest ways of going about it, since they're clearly delineated as such.

The algorithms can only be accurate to who you are, not what you want to become.

If aforementioned fat person searches for "weight loss" and Google starts showing ads for that, haven't the algorithms been accurate to what (s)he wants to become?
I disagree. That logic has to go somewhere anyway - you can't skip it because it's inherent in the problem of displaying a proper message. So you could at least write it in an expressive language instead of encoding it into what looks almost as readable as regular expressions.
A piece of advice from a non-Italian who never lived in Italy:

Don't listen too much to people who left their first world country and tries to convince themselves it was the right thing to do.

At the moment quite few Italians leave Italy: Only around 80,0000 yearly (~0.1% of the population).

For comparison, Denmark, with 1/11 the population of Italy and usually ranked one of the best places in the world to do business, experiences emigration of 45,000 per year (~1% of the population).

The immigration into Italy dwarfs the migration away from Italy.

Thank you for your comment, you really express my thoughts. I'm sicking of hearing people say that, just because they're not willing to expat or because they have their shoulder covered. I wanted to live with my boyfriend, have my own house, buy me a new computer, etc... I couldn't do it in Italy. I could just work and live at home with my parents so I didn't had to pay rent and expenses.
A lot of my friends does that but I'm 26 and I deserve to be independent, so I expat.

Starivore Extraterrestrials – Interacting Binary Stars as Metabolic Systems [pdf]
Why don't they count? AT&T and Verizon are also broadband providers. They're not dial up services. Isn't that the definition of broadband? The cell providers are listed under "Advertised Speeds Above 3 Mbps Data" or above. Just because Comcast has the fastest service doesn't mean it has a monopoly on broadband services. The vast majority of the American population don't need 100Mbps+ anyway. If they did, there would be more competition in that market.

Oh, sidenote: probably the biggest italian company, FIAT, recently moved (fiscally speaking) out of Italy, towards states with lower fiscal pressure (Netherlands, if I recall correctly).

And FIAT was/is big and competent enough to handle all of the sh*t italian laws impose.

Just saying.

"Enormity" is one of those words. It used to be strictly "horrible," conveying a sense of wickedness, and to use it as a synonym for "enormousness" was glaringly wrong. But the mistake was so common, even among journalists and writers, that that it has gained acceptance in at least one English dictionary.
I'd rather not do things that give the state more power and control over individuals. So I'm not a big fan of regulation in general. I'd rather pursue voluntary means of encouraging virtuous action where and when I can.

Engineers who directly enable this kind of technology are (in my view) not materially different from individuals who write malware. These engineers are members of the group of decision makers, because they know exactly how the code they are writing will be used. I think it's right to not encourage or support their behavior.

In other words, the degree to which I would shun someone is proportional to the knowledge and control they had in the situation under consideration.

Technically, I have four, maybe five choices, only one of which is practical.

Wireless - Poor reception, technicians unable to connect to uplink/head-end equipment

Cellular - Too expensive, data caps, and poor reception (really).

DSL - I used this for four years at my home and was generally satisfied with my private DSL reseller's service. I only left because their service only allowed 1.5Mb, which was no longer satisfactory. Ironically, AT&T now offers 6Mb/s service in my area but DSL resellers apparently aren't permitted to resell "U-verse" even though it is provided via an industry standard protocol, ITU G.992.3

Cable - I have cable now 15Mb, the highest speed they offer. They keep promising to roll out higher speeds, but have yet to do so.

Satellite - Does that count as broadband? Not for me. High latency and low uplink speed rules it out, and expense.

This is an especially crazy situation for me considering that I live near a major internet backbone corridor (0.5mi from my home).

So, strictly speaking there is no monopoly, but the result is hard to distinguish from that of a monopoly/cartel situation.

This is because you (like manny others) are unfamiliar with what racism means. Racism (when applied to processes rather than individuals) means practices -- intentional or not -- that result in an unequal distribution of power among races. If a computer program perpetuates or increases the unequal distribution of power among races, then that program is racist. The same definition, BTW, applies to sexism, where that refers to unequal distribution of power between the sexes.
Well, the $199bn are not spent in the sense they are gone. The SNB of course now holds Dollars and Euros it bought with Franken. Of course, if the Franken now appreciates, they are taking a loss on those Dollars and Euros.

To be clear, the SNB is not "spending" money. They were intervening to prevent the CHF from appreciating, not the reverse. In this situation, they (as the central bank) are creating new money (CHF), which they sell to anyone who wants to purchase them for EUR1.20 each.

The result of this is to accumulate enormous amounts of EUR, which is typically used to purchase EUR area government securities.

The SNB actually made a profit of CHF 38 billion in 2014 from price changes/interest on the securities they hold as well as FX gains. [1]

They of course will now be taking significant losses on those foreign currency assets as the CHF appreciates.

This American Bro: A story of the worst guy ever
There's more good than bad in this post, but Ben had to ruin it, and his credibility in general, with this:

Bottom feeding publications such as Valley Wag

Valleywag is cynical and harsh, but it has done more good for technology and humanity than all of Sand Hill Road combined. Ridicule is extremely powerful (see: Stetson Kennedy's exposé of the KKK in the 1960s) at taking down a reputable evil.

In the ongoing war between Frat Boys and People of Substance (aka Real Technologists) the Frat Boys have local advantage, because they've got better playa skillz with the VCs. It takes a continuous rash of ridicule to draw attention to the global concerns of technological advancement (also known as Real Technology) and keep us out of the shitty local maxima that Frat Boys tend to bring us to. If we want People of Substance to have a chance in the VC-funded world, we need a strong "yellow journalism" to ridicule bad actors and, thereby, clear the field a bit for the good.

If Ben Horowitz really can't see this, then he doesn't deserve to be a leading investor. Of course, this post is five years old and his views may have involved.

>They do this because to peg the currency to the Euro meant they had to buy an unlimited amount of foreign currency to make up for it, which gets very expensive in the long run.

It's the reverse situation that is typically unsustainable from an expense perspective (as the Central Bank of Russia has been dealing with).

To prevent the CHF appreciating, the SNB creates the CHF it uses to buy EUR to defend the peg. There is no theoretical limit on the amount of CHF they can create in this process as they are creating new money. The key issues are that:

1) The CHF has depreciated significantly on a trade weighted basis since the peg is only against the EUR (which has depreciated substantially against the USD).

2) The monetary base has reached 60% of GDP as a result of the high demand of CHF at the artificially low price (and getting lower given continuing EUR depreciation) and continues to grow.

There is much speculation, but most market professionals agree that the timing is due to the expected imminent QE by the ECB and the likely implications for the above two factors.
The expense and severe limitations of cellular data service rule it out as an equivalent or practical home ISP. It is superior to satellite based service, but that's not saying much.

Exactly. And that's why everybody is advising not to start a business there. Do you want extra challenges when you are doing something that is not easy already? Probably you think there is something "heroic" in it, but that's not the case for everybody.

I am an iOS developer. I left a country where I had a job I didn't like (not in iOS, but on Microsoft platforms) for a ridiculous salary, where working for yourself is a suicide. And I was one of the lucky ones. The moment I moved I got triple the salary for a job I liked and later was able to start my own business. Accounting and tax declaration here in NL is really easy, and fiscal pressure is much better. Frankly, since my life got immediately so much better outside of Italy I don't need to implicitly justify my decisions. I have plenty of explicit reason I can list.

You might find it disgusting that Italians throw mud at their own country, I find it sad to see people defending it only because it's their own country, and as such is exempted from criticism. Maybe you are the one trying to implicitly justify your decision to remain.
