You can in fact take courses taught by the greatest in the field. The one does not exclude the other.

Using Firefox Mobile reader mode turns the page into one, continuous brick of text. No way of discerning sections, lists, or anything since no newlines seems to work. I might have missed something, but that ain't a fix. I'd prefer scrolling sideways.

My thoughts as well. He himself went ALL the way through the educational system broadly and were into arts and so on, so did his friend and collaborator Morris. Granted, PG has seen tech talent and success unfold on a scale that few will experience, which gives him a unique perspective. I'm still left wondering what role he attributes having close friends like he did, peers, mentors, community and collaboration...

I for one adore and cherish the works of Plato, and in general put him amongst the most important persons to have lived. Imaging that he could have been overseen, forgotten, or ridiculed fully, perhaps the proper question is: What can I, you, and we accomplish to remedy a norm where money & power override truth, where false beliefs aren't questioned no more. Not in the dumb sense, where some preconceptions of truth rules, but in a truly questioning, scientific style.

As if people aren't accustomed to free speech, free science, free people, free for all, and countless other examples where free refers to freedom. The basic assumption falls flat on the ground.

Get a paid job with experts who enjoy sharing their knowledge and thought processes. Work hard and gain expertise, then share it yourself. Transition from one domain to a related, or step up a higher level. That's the money part. Make sure to have a few, true hobbies with fun, dedicated, and serious folks. But most importantly, be an expert in living a fulfilling, wholesome life with people where love and friendship is the main theme.

Terry Wahls, the doctor who claims she reversed her MS through diet would only partly agree. In her book 'The Wahls Protocol', she spells a diet regime out from a functional medicine perspective.

nLab has been one of the best sources I've come across. My aim is to express and work with philosophical logic in a more formal way, and nLab is a great source for that as well. Milewski's YouTube lectures gets mentioned a lot, but I couldn't make much sense of them before watching Tom LaGatta's more informal and conversational presentation https://youtu.be/o6L6XeNdd_k Good luck and keep at it.

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu in general

- HEADLINE: Improve the l10n framework

- DESCRIPTION: The Rosetta/Launchpad framework for translation was pretty good 10 years ago, but has been surpassed by several online frameworks such as Transifex, Pootle, Crowdin, Weblate, and likely several other services. It would really help if the translation process had access to shared terminologies, project and task management for teams, improved translation memory, spell checking, syntax checking, and ways to report bugs or ask for clarifications to original English text.

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Member of the Danish translation team since 2005.
