In spoken Mandarin Chinese you can normally derive the meaning from context but in Classical Chinese (or in fact anything written more formally) it's not necessarily so straightforward. There is a poem that illustrates it, where each s

From my experience with Chinese, the classification in the article follows the established convention but seems to use non-standard terminology for each category. Arguably, it's much more straightforward to categorize the characters as

A while ago somebody suggested all video submissions should be accompanied by a brief summary. I think it's a good idea in principle, just not really sure how to describe what I just saw. I'll try: In a very traditional Russian co

You are not even the product, you are a resource that is being harvested, processed, and packaged as a product. Another way to think about it, a product is an output from the system, and you are just one of the inputs.

It's more than just text, make sure to click "Turn bullshit on." I almost missed all the bullshit I could experience, which I guess illustrates why all the successful bullshit is always opt-out, never opt-in.

Since this is in huge part about ethics, not skills as such, there was a related submission recently: the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct . It didn't gain much traction (perhaps it was discussed earlier) but the document i

If a non-stop itinerary is an option, and you're flying in business with a fully-reclining seat, it'd of course be preferable. In economy though, I'd likely rather have a stopover than a 10h+ non-stop long-haul flight, or at

A380s are much more comfortable to fly in, even in Economy: there's more space around, cabin air is better (thanks to higher humidity). They're also much quieter and apparently less likely to suffer turbulence. In Business/Fi

Really well-made and easy to use (I'd just change the interface font to proportional). OCR text seems to be without errors beyond the occasional "hyphe- nation." Photos are downloadable in high quality, and they also link to

They were lucky to be using hot springs with temperatures north of 80°C (176°F). Not sure what the median temperature of a hot spring is but anecdotally it seems many are not that hot, which makes them perfect breeding ground for amebas and

Very comprehensive and well-written. I'm positively surprised. A lot of it is applicable to other professions as well. Definitely worth checking out. In particular the sections about FOSS and user privacy (1.5 and 1.6 respectively) are

Netgear isn't (wasn't?) really low-end though. At least not priced as such. One would think they'd be making enough without having to resort to such tactics. You're right Ubiquiti did it though and I believe their device

So it turns out these names refer to actual lakes indeed (of the remaining three I mentioned, the two are in Ontario and one in Minnesota). It did not occur to me to search Google Maps directly: seems they are not notable enough to have Wik
