A child/foreigner can point at "inconceivable" and ask: 'what does "in-con-ceiv-able" mean?' as opposed to 'what does "..." mean' A japanese beginner will see 照り焼き and say "uhhhh..

If you replace kanji with katakana and keep hiragana for particles and conjugation, you can call it a day. Easy to learn, no more trying to guess if it's on/kunyomi, immune to mispronunciation from using a foreign alphabet, the li

That's exactly why you need more than just hiragana, it'd be too difficult to tell what each character was parf of at speed. Something like katakana replacing kanji and hiragana for particles would be perfect. Modern Japanese coul

Spotify seems to be partially gearing for that. A lot of reasonable sized artists' pages have an "Offers" section where they sell records and other merch.

Spaces carry a lot of semantic weight, as do other components such as capitalisation and punctuation (most of which in use in Japan is borrowed from romaji anyway). iimagineitdgetprettyannoyingtryingtoreadenglishifitwaswrittenlikethisbutits

fun fact: when the dagger you've used to indicate footnotes is attached to a person (the user), this typically indicates that the person is now dead. i thought you were applying some subtle commentary about the change until i saw you a

Same, but I typically take that as a cue to stand up and go outside, sitting all day is also phenomenally unhealthy.

And how do they continue to "farm" you for gold if you unsubscribe because you no longer feel a part of the world?

The ad-blocker vs advertiser fight has just turned to total war, your target audience uses ad blockers more than any other demographic and you bet your profits on advertising. Brave.

I also believe psychedelics can transform lives in a hugely positive way; since my first (and not last) experience with them last year my quality of life has been constantly improving and remains at an all time high. That said I found this

I really like this idea. Without knowing too much about bar associations I feel like a programmer association with a code of ethics similar to the ABA model rules (perhaps including the Six Fixes[0]) would be a great start to reining in pri

West Germany had a similar culture to their occupant, the east not so much. Germany also became the centrepiece for a US vs. Russia proxy war, Syria would likely become the same and is arguably already in that state. In any case it would de

The number of answers there are to that question is phenomenal. Here's one I just thought up: You stop going between A and B (home and work) for 6 months. You're now either unemployed or working from home; the latter can probably

Not sure why you're being downvoted, the only thing that convinced me to use a Mac (for a while) was the BSD base on some nice hardware. Without it it would be like trying to develop on iOS: slow, locked down and flashy.

Every bank I've ever been with has had a pathetic limit on its online banking passwords. One of them (NAB) was limited to something like 10 characters and only numbers and letters. Maybe that's changed recently but still, firewall

State run (or private) telecoms need to be greased individually and only reach as far as their individual customers. Far easier to lobby internet.org as a whole to censor a particular topic across a sizable portion of the globe.
