>will make you view/perceive problems in a different way, so does learning a new natural language, given that it is different.
This as well as the initial statement you've made is controversial and generally frowned up by linguists.
We do not have any evidence that people perceive the world differently nor that it bears any relevance to how they view it. There were attempts at it, but the results are either not very convincing or are based upon farfetched conclusions.
>I can't explain how
Well yes, because it's a broad and unquantifiable claim as well as one that's not really supported by evidence.
As such I don't think it's fair and justifiable to say that learning Japanese changes the way you think. You're just adding additional unnecessary mystique to it.
>It has tourist amenities without really being touristy
All the results it gave are flooded with tourists, and some of them are among the most expensive you can get in Croatia. :shrug:
Unsure of what to think of the results, as it seems to have very little relevance to the input description other than being in Croatia and being tourist spots.
I don't think we are missing the point, we were looking for a Slack alternative and found one. They charged a bit to give you push notifications, now they charge more of it. If not having push notifications were an option for us, we'd have simply downgraded.
They decided to up their price per user by a significant amount not too long ago... our self-hosted instance suddenly became more expensive than Slack but with an obviously not nearly as polished product as Slack. So we moved over to Zulip because at least they do their own thing, we haven't had any regrets over the switch to Zulip.
We use it at work. We first switched over to Mattermost, then to Zulip. Mattermost seemed like a clone of Slack and we were initially "satisfied", but didn't see it get improved that much nor noticed any attempts of it trying to tackle other problems. Then they raised their prices to even higher than Slack's, which we took as a bit of dick move seeing as we were self-hosting it + it has nowhere near the experience of Slack. Push notifications in general didn't seem to be that good.
Zulip has a nice spin on the way discussions work with their concept of "topics". It lends itself well to how we conceptualize the discussions across our development teams, without unnecessarily creating many ad-hoc temp channels (something we'd have done on Slack). We're liking it thus far. That being said I do need to check why it's using about 35 gigs of RAM on our server.
> TBH I wouldn't expect Xinjiang mummies to be of Indo-European origin, given that Xinjiang is in east Asia.
Apart from the other comment pointing to the Tocharians of Tarim Basin who were Indo-Europeans, the only thing the classification Indo-European means that the language they spoke had Proto-Indo-European as a common ancestor. Even right now there's an Indo-European language right across Xinjiang's border - Tajik. This wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary.
Slightly higher distance, but the landscape is more prone to delivering noteworthy views - Croatia and Italy. There's a thread going on on Skyscrapercity detailing views of up to around 250kms away ( https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/distant-views-photo-t... )
They did not say that they were hoping for feedback on their tool when they submitted the patch, they lied about their code doing something it does not.
>How does that fit in with your explanation?
It fits in the narrative of doing hypocritical changes to the project.
So even back in 2017, Tether was backed only by a fraction of USD.
>Until September 15, 2017, the only U.S. dollars held by Tether ostensibly backing the approximately 442 million tethers in circulation was the approximately $61 million on deposit at the Bank of Montreal.
Wonder how much of the tether they pumped out through last year has been backed?
Since the claim that they closed their position in itself would potentially influence the market to their benefit, I don't see a reason to trust their statement.
>If the BIG TECH majority even find you a threat, not only will they cut off your ability to communicate, or deploy to a server across the world, but even prevent you from writing software in the First place.
This seems like an exaggeration. There are alternatives to hosting your platform on AWS.
Of course, you're not supposed to allow users on your platform to issue death threats and act like you're not supposed to do anything about it.
I can't agree with holding Parler as an example of "freedom and the openess of the internet".
