Sesame paste, salt, molasses. The paste with salt makes tahini sauce, the paste with molasses makes a dessert. All three together sound horrible.

Off topic, but I was surprised at the end of the article to realize this was Joel Spolsky's blog! I like the new design.

Not necessarily. At least in Arab countries people used to get married in their parents' home. The wife would move in to the house of the husband's parents.

by hasenj 10y ago
I think your are mistaken. Living with one's parents in most parts of the world is just the default thing to do. The whole concept of moving out for no reason at all is super weird and confusing for most cultures, and borders on a sens

Maybe it's my lack of imagination or not having English as a native language, but how can something be "hard" and at the same time shatter easily? EDIT: nvm found the answer via Google https://www.quora.com/Wh

Many Middle Eastern languages/dialects don't have the 'p' sound. For example, a native Egyptian with no training in English pronunciation would pronounce 'people' as 'biibul'.

That's a circular argument. You're just assuming that these models have intrinsic meaning.
519.
by hasenj 10y ago
> these models are very limited, fixed, and useless without human interpretation. What model _isn't_ useless without human interpretation?

I've heard that iterated by a few other people as well. I find it somewhat amusing, but it's probably better explained as a different way of thinking.

by hasenj 10y ago
The problem with this line of thinking is that any data model for anything has absolutely no intrinsic meaning. It's just an encoding. To give the simplest example: you can model a color in many different encodings, 'red', &#

Actually the English translation seems to produce surprisingly well formed sentences. I'm not a native English speaker, and these kinds of long winded sentences with numbers in them are always confusing, but at least I don't see a

Why does the front page tell me nothing about what it's actually like to use this, i.e. would you at least show me some example code? It's a very generic "I am yet another framework that can do everything you ever dreamed of

Arabic has a couple words that are close دلع دلال Which if you look up in the dictionary, they come up as "fondness" or "petting". I think amae is the kind of the "converse" of petting. When you pet someone, wh

Interesting. Apparently they are called "Contronyms". I thought only Arabic had those. I always thought it was stupid.

Not exactly related, but being in Tokyo, I now see that Toronto's subway system is a joke. I think it hasn't really been updated since I was born. There's like, three lines in total.

When I was a kid in Iraq (1990~) going to school by yourself was very natural. Our school was nearby so we walked every day. Other kids took the bus. The only thing amusing in the article is how Americans are amused by this. I remember on m

Is there some definition whereby Japanese society is not ethnically homogenous?

by hasenj 10y ago
It doesn't work when the population is composed of different social groups with vastly opposite systems of values. Iraq for example (I was born in Iraq). We can already see a similar thing happening in America with different ethnic gro

Two things: 1) Believing in religion and being conservative about it too! 2) Allowing myself to become obese during late teens and early twenties. These two points have done incredible damage to my social life and self esteem.

Might it be soy allergy? I honestly see no reason to halt production entirely just because a small percentage of people are having allergic reaction. Can they not just add an allergy warning?

I can't help but see this as a post hoc rationalization. When Steve Jobs was at its helm, did Apple have failures that it needed to rebrand as "tries"?

That will either be automated, or those workers job would actually be doing that to train the AI that will solve the captcha.

The problem then is it gives too much power to few people. Especially in the case of AI.

Sounds very interesting. Does the book help you acquire the business mindset or does it just show examples of failed businesses with analysis of why they failed?
