    @Jolly I use Straight Talk, which for $35/month is unlimited talk/text and more data than I ever use. Thanks, Jolly. I've bookmarked this, for use in the extremely unlikely event I will figure out how to use the phone.

    I totally disagree with the video. If anything, we will see a "return of the digital". By that I mean computation with symbols, like in classical programming and logic. This is opposed to the neural network / deep learning stuff, which is basically simulating analog things with digital circuits. There's recently been an interesting article that explains my point in much greater detail. https://nautil.us/deep-learning-is-hitting-a-wall-14467/

    @taiwan_girl said in A Ukrainian Translator Moved To Tears: I think to be a UN translator, you have to be able to simultaneous translate at least three of the six official languages. https://www.asta-usa.com/united-nations-translations-accreditation/ The UN considers the main language to be the language of an internal candidate’s post-secondary education. For external linguists, this generally means the “target language” into which an individual works. Each of the six official United Nations languages – Arabic, English, French, Mandarin-Chinese, Russian and Spanish – are tested. The United Nations Translation Accreditation process is stringent. At minimum, a Bachelor’s degree in the relevant area is required, but an advanced degree is preferred. Most candidates have additionally earned a degree from an accredited translation school. All candidates usually must be able to translate into their main language from at least two of the other official UN languages.

    It was kind of funny. He was sitting on the bed in the front bedroom, at the foot, and I wanted to read. So, I laid down on the bed, sorta pushed him over with my feet, and he stayed there for about 10 minutes. Then, he decided he needed some cuddles, so he came up and laid down next to me. Spent about half an hour there, purring away. Boris is definitely not a "cuddler," yet. In his head, at age 2 ½, he's still a kitten and still has some growing to do. I'd love to see more of this.

    And this is the result when Brady fell three points short of the Super Bowl. Three points! Aargh! Imagine if he'd gone all the way. Enjoy your victory while you can, Ram chops.

    Whatever they wear to space must have been prepared and pre-approved well in advance. Highly unlikely that cosmonauts get to pick a different outfit at the last minute.
