Fascinating. People answer the trolley problem different if in their native and second languages.

Sorry for the Facebook link, I don't have another source.

This seems very level-headed to me. Forgo the talk of revolution and get back to the 'boring-ass, not sexy' problems for the next ten years and then maybe we can start to get jiggy with it.

#Jurisdiction. Juris law, diction = words. The words you use determine the law you are under. #Common-law is written in a #common #language so that it is easily understood by the common #people.

#Legalese, referred to as "Words of art", is a language created in the bowels of #hell to #trap and #ensnare the #unsuspecting #individual into #contract-law. It is intentionally #difficult for the common individual to understand, with the words being used having meanings which are vastly different than in common usage. The #etymological #root #meaning of the words have not been changed in law, they cannot change without losing their ability to bind.

They have been #hidden from the common individual through the implementation of slang, the bastardization of common language, and the revision of common language dictionaries. Moreover, use of the Words of Art is a #dark #occult practice and a form of #black #magick carried out by the lieutenants and #High #Priests of #Baal, these being the #attorneys and #judges of the #Bar.

An interesting essay on language use.

To me (who else) there are some important shifts in language that reflects where we are a a culture and enhances. The shift from think to feel, for instance, marks the move away from evidence and facts, reducing questions and isolating individuals.

I don’t particularly pay attention to spelling or pronunciation but using the epithet boomer prompts me to want to cross examine the speaker to truly understand their position with the intent of dismissing their feeling based blanket statement.

Almost exactly 40 years after I moved to Sweden, my kids are going to move there to live and study for a few years and who knows maybe they decide to stay there instead of moving back to France or even the US.

I have started teaching them Swedish, together with Babel for self-learning, found this book a great start for beginner level.

It is fun spending several hours per day on Signal app to have virtual classes and go over the material, pronunciation, basic grammar among other things.

One really amazing thing is that both of them have problem with the "R" in Swedish, they both pronounce it like the French, even thought they have no problem with it in English. I guess their bilingual mindset is switching to French mode when trying to learn a new language.

Farsi is funny!

There are 2 type of T and 4 types of Z..

This is the different ways of writing the word Tanz (comedy, joke, comic).

Only one is correct, but it's kind of funny.

#Google don't like C++

Based on this experience we expect that high assurance memory safety can only be achieved via a Secure-by-Design approach centered around comprehensive adoption of languages with rigorous memory safety guarantees. We see no realistic path for an evolution of C++ into a language with rigorous memory safety guarantees that include temporal safety. As a consequence, we are considering a gradual transition of C++ code at Google towards other languages that are memory safe.
