    1. Certainly not.

      so they are discussing the nature of who is consider a creator? it seems that they consider a craftsman someone who physically makes the piece, and that you are classified as an imitator based on if you replicate the work?

    2. a human beingwho knows every craft as well as everything else anyone knows, and thatthere is nothing of which he does not have a more exact knowledge thananyone else, we should assume we are talking to a naïve fellow. He hasbeen deceived, it seems, by an encounter with some sort of sorcerer orimitator, whom he therefore considers to be all-wise. But that is becauseof his own inability to distinguish between knowledge, lack of knowledge,and imitation

      are they trying to insinuate that an artist is simply an imitator that fools a viewer that they are a craftsman? as well as a viewer being a fool for believing a painter to be a craftsman?

      for - quote - no evolutionary history explains form and behavior - Michael Levin

      observation - evolution alone is insufficient to explain life - These novel, artificial life forms behave in novel emergent ways, there is no natural selection at play here

    1. while postmodernism thus represents a new awareness of how our paradigms construct our world, it appears markedly blind to its own worldview — its own postmodern metanarrative.

      for - key insight - postmodernism is blind to its own narrative - quote - postmodernism is blind to its own narrative - Annick de Witt - observation - adjacency - postmodernism - alternative facts

      adjacency - postmodernism - alternative facts - observation - also we are seeing the shadow side of postmodernism in the Trump era where "alternative facts" have become dangerously fashionable - obviously the complete denial of an objective reality is not tenable while the complete denial of constructed reality is also no tenable - what we need is an integration, as Annick contends

    2. World views create worlds

    1. the United States is not a democracy it's an oligarchy with elections that are providing the legitimacy for this one party state to continue to exist

      for - quote - US politics - one party state - Yanis Varoufakis - observation - Trump was groomed by toxic US corporate culture and only now is the US is experiencing the blowback of that - new meme - hostile corporate takeover of the US government - from - Climate doomsday 6 years from now - Jerry Kroth

      quote - US politics - one party state - Yanis Varoufakis - (see below) - The United States is not a democracy - It's an oligarchy with elections that are providing the legitimacy for this one part state to continue to exist

      comment - With Trumps win and the nomination of a slate filled with many billionaires to lead major US departments, it's more obvious than ever that what Trump is doing is:

      new meme - A hostile corporate takeover of the US government - We shouldn't be surprised as Trump was groomed by the out-of-control corptocracy in the United States - Remember that NBC made him famous with his show "The Apprentice" and during that time, he was celebrated by American corporate culture. Why else did his show reach top position in Nelson ratings? - Trump is the child of the toxic corporate culture of America where money is king, the metric that rules over everything - people and the environment - Trump is merely running the government the way he ran his companies (into the ground), with total control. - On the apprentice, he made famous the phrase "your fired" - We should not be surprised that he is making the US government in the image of himself that he has well publicized for decades.

    1. Wiener arrived at the ISI at a historic time for India as Mahalanobis had been appointed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to draw up India’s Second Five Year Plan that focused on rapid industrialization and the development of the public sector based on statistical analysis and research at the ISI. Weiner was impressed with what the people and institutions he collaborated with.

      it is interesting to learn that he had a great role to play in the future of our countries development, just because he was a great scientist who wanted to explore beyond his country. It makes me think about how science is universal and scientists are seldom concerned about politics. Yet, bureaucratics and governments consider everything as a product of their country and try to protect it from other nations. For better or worse. Writing this, I also get reminded about Oppenheimer and how it beautifully dissects the crossover in science and governments from the perspectives of both governments and scientists,'

    1. Plants are natural. Plants are normal.

      I understand but question his thinking. It's more of saying we can't put someone on death row because he is still human, which is true, but what makes something as natural to it's predecessor, I would say it's based on the value of negative influence it could rotationally have. Simply, is the author saying this because of his experience with it himself?

    1. Black and Latino applicants, who make up about 80% of the candidates applying for sales jobs

      If these groups are truely a minority (look up Black/Latino vs White population statistics) in this country, then the fact that even despite the disparaging factors laid out earlier, they make up 4/5ths of all applications should send a signal to you that these groups might have passion for the field

      (Though avoid profiling them, "Oh you're Latino, so you must want to work in retail.")

    2. data from the résumés of current and past employees

      The data she is working with is based only on employees that have been there.

      If minoirities we're represented in the past, then their patterns won't be well represented in the future.

      Besides, current employees have been leaving frequently. I think their data should be used with caution.

    3. the company’s salesperson attrition rate falls by nearly 15%

      While an improvement, it isn't a guarantee that this was all the success that could be garnered vs a more inclusive algorithm.

      With a greater field of candidates to chose from (since 80% of applications aren't white), their is bound to be a selection from them that could be a good match.

    1. She knows not what the curse may be,

      In this stanza, the lady of Shallot sits in a tower, weaving a tapestry. A curse of some sorts looms on her, but because she is unaware of what the curse is, she doesn't worry and continues weaving. This poem was published in 1832, a year after the death of Tennyson's father, and a year before the sudden death of his close friend. Although Tennyson cant see into the future at the time of writing this, the "looming curse" certainly sounds like it relates to one of the losses he experienced when the poem was published.

    1. From a practical point of view it's highly desirable to specify them to prevent page reflows as mentioned above. However those suggesting it should be in the html because of this are missing the fact browsers use css when building the page initially. If they didn't the page would have to be redrawn for floated elements, specified padding, margins etc.

    1. My preference here is biased by the fact that I spend everyday at work building web components, so Svelte's approach feels very familiar to slots in web components.

      first sighting: That <template>/<slot> is part of HTML standard and the reason Svelte uses similar/same syntax is probably because it was trying to make it match / based on that syntax (as they did with other areas of the syntax, some of it even JS/JSX-like, but more leaning towards HTML-like) so that it's familiar and consistent across platforms.

    1. Model on tl,t,t� which to form our selves. Or ruther to imitate

      Imitation makes another appearance, which (as mholder pointed out with Vico) "was one of the dominant methods of instruction in rhetoric up through the Enlightenment".

      I think imitation is particularly important in terms of women's education, as women often would have little to go by but a model, specifically one observed (over ones read about).

    1. sten to students discuss the classes they hoped to get, and visit departments to watch faculty advising students on course selection. She would want to observe secretaries typing, janitors sweeping, and maintenance personnel plowing snow from walks.

      If she observed from the points of view of so many people on the campus, she would not gain the full perspective of a single group of people: she could become biased or have knowledge that not everyone she's observing has access to. Researching the school from so many points of view could backfire and create a different kind of outside opinion.

    1. Interdependence and Regeneration2c5c7 A very important feature to be noted from the discussion in this section bears upon the interdependence among the various types of structuring which are involved in the H-LAM/T system, where the capability for doing each type of structuring is dependent upon the capability for doing one or more of the other types of structuring. (Assuming that the physical structuring of the system remains basically unchanged during the system's operation, we exclude its dependence upon other factors in this discussion.) 2c5c7a This interdependence actually has a cyclic, regenerative nature to it which is very significant to us. We have seen how the capability for mental structuring is finally dependent, down the chain, upon the process structuring (human, artifact, composite) that enables symbol-structure manipulation. But it also is evident that the process structuring is dependent not only upon basic human and artifact process capabilities, but upon the ability of the human to learn how to execute processes--and no less important, upon the ability of the human to select, organize, and modify processes from his repertoire to structure a higher-order process that he can execute. Thus, a capability for structuring and executing processes is partially dependent upon the human's mental structuring, which in turn is partially dependent upon his process structuring (through concept and symbol structuring), which is partially dependent upon his mental structuring, etc. 2c5c7b All of this means that a significant improvement in symbol-structure manipulation through better process structuring (initially perhaps through much better artifacts) should enable us to develop improvements in concept and mental-structure manipulations that can in turn enable us to organize and execute symbol-manipulation processes of increased power. To most people who initially consider the possibilities for computer-like devices augmenting the human intellect, it is only the one-pass improvement that comes to mind, which presents a picture that is relatively barren compared to that which emerges when one considers this regenerative interaction. 2c5c7c We can confidently expect the development of much more powerful concepts pertaining to the manner in which symbol structures can be manipulated and portrayed, and correspondingly more complex manipulation processes that in the first pass would have been beyond the human's power to organize and execute without the better symbol, concept, and mental structuring which his augmented system provided him. These new concepts and processes, beyond our present capabilities to use and thus never developed, will provide a tremendous increased-capability payoff in the future development of our augmentation means.

      I think these notions of interdependence and regeneration are a very key observation.

    1. Yet I add the observation that if they had applied as many months as I have years to judg-ing these precepts accurately and to arranging them in order, I certainly do not doubt that they would have left us arts that are far truer and more distinct.

      an astute observation, in consideration of the advantages of time and distance allowing objective critique.
