Good. There is also a video course from Google. For those beginners you may read this article and then visit this site: https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/


Yes, there are human remains on sunken ships. You may simply google it. Caution: you may feel uncomfortable if you click the link. Here are some photos about the human remains on the sunken ships.

Respect people who left this beautiful world:

You linked to a man-man sculpture, artwork off the coast of Mexico. Although other pictures in that search are indeed human remains.


On top of the others' suggestions, I would suggest you to keep the sentence short and understandable. I don't know what company you are going to apply. Just a reminder that not all HR managers have the knowledge of IT/ programming/ coding. Try to prepare an easy version for those who have no IT background.

Showing the impacts/ results would definitely help.


How do you think of its business model? Keep it free to get a big user base then sell it to huge enterprise? Like Whatsapp and Facebook?


I guess they have several more years to introduce something. About the business model and monetization, the Telegram FAQ [1] has long stated this:

>Q: How are you going to make money out of this? > We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free.

> Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation through his Digital Fortress fund, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we'll invite our users to donate and add non-essential paid options to break even. But making profits will never be a goal for Telegram.

Line sells stickers . that's a very effective strategy


Well, they do not aim to earn money out of Telegram, so I guess that'll just work fine if they sell some stickers or things like that. The thing about Whatsapp and others is that they are a profit minded company, Telegram isn't, they just need money to keep it running


“What is a car?” “You might say that a car is a space that's used for movement, tomo tawa”

Luckily, it is not widely used. Otherwise, it would be a nightmare of translators, especially for Google Translate developers!

Before I wiki it, I thought it was a language used by the tribes in Africa or ancient civilization, but it was created in 2001!

Find out more about it on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona


Toki Pona isn't meant as a universal language to be translated from nor to translate into (unlike e.g. Esperanto). When you translate from/to, a lot of subtleties are lost (which is exactly what Toki Pona intends).

Toki Pona is just a "toy" language (for lack of a better adjective), somewhat like yoga for the language (for lack of a better simile). Each person uses Toki Pona in their own way: for some it's pushing language to the limit, for some it's just fun, some others consider it an experiment in psychology, an experiment in language construction, an introspection tool, a challenge, poetry in and of itself...

Obviously it's not the best to communicate precisely, just like yoga asanas aren't meant to walk.


Perhaps 'recreational' rather than 'toy' is a better word. :) The analogy with yoga is good, or plenty of programming languages. They make you better as a person, stretch you, widen your knowledge, and expand your mind, without necessarily being directly useful. For me it is enjoyable, definitely poetry. Though the opportunities to actually speak it is very limited.

sina sona ala sona e toki pona? (do you know it?) ... if so: sina kama sona tan seme?


I assume "sina kama sona tan seme?" means "where did you learn it from?". Did I get that right?

A small nitpick: proper nouns have to be preceded by a Toki Pona common noun or noun phrase (in this case toki, language) and then the proper noun in capitalized case. E.g.: toki Toki Pona, telo Coca Cola, etc. I.e. proper nouns must modify a preceding common Toki Pona noun.

mi toki e toki Toki Pona. taso mi jo ala e tenpo mute. tan tenpo suli la mi toki ala e toki Toki Pona. mi kama sona tan tan mute. lipu Tokipona.net en lipu Tokipona.org en lipu Reddit.com/r/tokipona li pona. lipu Tokipona.org li anpa. taso lipu Forums.tokipona.org li pali. sina wile la sina ken toki tawa mi lon ni: "el" en nimi mi pi lipu HN, lon kulupu Gmail.

(I speak Toki Pona, but I don't have a lot of time. It's been a long time not talking Toki Pona. I've learn it from many different sources. tokipona.net, tokipona.org, /r/tokipona are good. tokipona.org is down but forums.tokipona.org is still working. If you want, you can contact me at "el" concatenated with my HN username at gmail.)


Nitpicking is welcome! mi toki mute alla pona. I've not seen 'toki Toki Pona' used that way though, I've rarely seen it capitalised and used as a proper noun. So 'sona e toki pona' (nimi pi lipu pi jan Piljin e 'o kama sona e toki pona!'). That said, the rule for the extra verb I end up dropping quite often from carelessness, so 'sina telo allo telo Coca Cola?' rather than 'sina telo allo telo telo Coca Cola?' So it was a good nitpick.

'tan seme' is usually 'why', I think (I learned it as a compound lexicon entry I guess). 'sine sona kama tan seme?' for where from?

Thanks.


Ah! Very true. My Toki Pona is very rusty as you can see. I forgot a lot of compound lexicon and idioms :(

I've always seen 'Toki Pona' used as a proper noun following the proper noun rules to avoid confusion with 'good talk' and the like (which I guess is the purpose of the rule in the first place, as well as discouraging proper nouns). I learnt it a long time ago so maybe the requirement has been dropped? Or lousy usage since it's very common that people forget to follow the proper noun rule. In 'kama sona e toki pona' I'd be inclined to understand "learning to talk well" rather than "learning Toki Pona". Perhaps that was the intent? Anyways, there's so much outdated and non-canonical material, and most of the canon has holes and even doesn't follow its own advice. And actual usage has diverted so much too (plus having zero native speakers everyone has their own usage). "Language-ing" is hard :P Even more so in a vague language like Toki Pona.

The Coca Cola example would require 'e' to mark the direct object ('sina telo ala telo e telo Coca Cola'). I've grown so accustomed to a common noun following 'e' that it missing sounds really jarring.

mi toki e toki Toki Pona tan ni: toki Toki Pona li musi tawa mi. toki Toki Pona li pona kin tawa ali! tenpo suli la mi toki mute e toki Toki Pona. taso tenpo ni la mi toki lili e ni.


I think the two parties need to hold a meeting and make some agreements in the future because more and more personal information or activities will be saved on the phone. The number of conflicts between Apple and the government will keep increasing. People need to find out the point of balance.


With respect: I completely disagree. I don't think the govt has any right to force apple to allow them to bypass anything encrypted. IMO, this isn't a balance situation, but rather a binary situation.


Thanks for your opinion. Do you think this is a problem can be solved? Or the two parties will just keep fighting without an end?


I have followed PH for a long time but I did not like its layout before. I think the new layout is more user friendly and allows me to have a good product view list.


To me, I am more red-dot-phobia than red-dot-aholic.

A few years ago when I first used Facebook, I was red-dot-aholic. But after instant messages developed well, I could never get away from work. Red-dots are full on my screen and I know I cannot turn them off!

I became red-dot-phobia!


Error!!! My job is to do digital marketing on Twitter! What should I do now?


Contemplate the wisdom of depending on a company without a service level agreement.


My company hires me for doing digital marketing on Twitter. Can I go home now?


yes
