bodyThe term "planet" is poorly defined - well, more contrived as it has no basis in anything other than itself. Generally, good schemas derive from properties in more generic schemas, they're constructed from something rigorous. Poor definitions exist to collect unlike things that are convenient to distinguish. One thing we know about good definitions is that if you apply some transform t() to a thing to change it into another thing, there is a corresponding transform of similar nature, t'(), that applies to the nomenclature. If you have a triangle and add a side, you get a quadrangle. If you take the ingredients for a cake and follow the recipe, you get a cake. You can produce diagrams that show the one-way and two-way relationships. For the current definitions of asteroid, planet and comet, you can't do this. You need external parameters that are arbitrary, and you cannot say in advance if a relationship is one-way or two-way because the definitions refer to properties wholly unconnected to the object. That's not good reasoning. Nor is it acceptable to define the maximum permitted number of planets. We do not limit the number of cities in countries, or the number of countries, to suit school geography grades. No, we need something better. There are a number of definitely topologically distinct objects in a solar system. There are objects with no structure, they're grains held by gravity with no adhesion beyond that. There are objects with no core, they're homogeneous. There are heterogeneous objects sorted by mass. There are heterogeneous objects that are unsorted. Both have one core. Then there are objects with multiple cores. Some objects are child objects, spawned from another. Our moon is one. Many small asteroids have evaporated and recondensed, so are not primordial. Ceres seems to be a captured comet. These may not be the attributes you'd use, but they show intrinsic attributes exist and can be used. Such properties will be true for all observers for a meaningful length of time. So why not start by forgetting a meeting of the IAU that may have violated quorum rules and decide what is intrinsic enough to satisfy a planetary scientist, cosmologist or astronomer as being useful to everyone?

bodyMost seriously strong contenders are European. Simply America has little need for them. To explain this is simple, America rarely modernizes; business put something into service and leave it there forever as long as it is serviceable. With a local domestic market of a quarter of a billion people who needs to modernize especially something like a lock. Another thing is American mentality toward crime, when people in America act anti-social such as breaking and entering they go to jail. Afterwards these professional criminals cannot vote, have issues obtaining drivers licences and are barred from a lot of professions and no government work. While in jail they studied hard to become a better criminal yet any further unlawfulness on their part is paid for by insurance companies, which is priced into a customers premiums. So simply there is no need for a truly secure lock in most of America, those who need ultra quality locks simply import overseas models. So overseas models are virtually unbeatable even by the best penetration testers. One model from France actually has the key as a part of the lock itself, so unless you know you will be fighting this design no matter how skillful you are you cannot beat it simply from lack of the required parts . . . And thank you for your wonderful comments previously ! ! !

bodyThere is really no difference between the two, at the abstract level. It's all about having a pattern of some sort that's expected and having a bunch of other patterns that will work regardless. It's then a game. Can the lock designer make it too hard to find those patterns? Can the lock breaker find the careless mistake or overlooked possibility? You might know the history better than me, I rarely went into the locksmith groups on USENET, but I'm fairly sure Kryptonite locks were broken in the early 90s and I've not heard of any better mechanical lock since then although there must be many by now. What are some of the top contenders in the running these days?

bodyWhat do I know I have invented the ultimate lock that cannot be bypassed, gunned, shimmed, forced or picked; in fact i have bought a 3D printer to make the prototype but I am also sure many other smarter people than me have thought they had the ultimate lock also. The aim is a simple mass produced secure cheap lock that is undefeatable but again how can one know until it is made and field tested by experts. . . and thank you for your comments, I have no clue how electronic locks work but I know a lot about mechanical locks : )

bodyI've tended to passively watch such discussions in the past. I really only get involved in maintaining computer security, but you cannot begin to understand security if you do not start with understanding what an attack vector is. And you cannot understand that without seeing how the problem is tackled. That's the first element in all this - from the perspective of the engineer on either side, there is a problem and there are anywhere from zero to infinite solutions. The morality is a social construct - an important one, but not one that the lock cares too much about. Something works or it doesn't. It's all covered in The Magician's Nephew. The second element is what you do about those solutions once you have them. (Of course, you can't do anything about them until you have them.) This applies whether you're in this for sport or profession. Once you've mastered a lock, be it Yale or Kryptonite (yes, that is a brand), it's going to get boring very fast (to those in sport) or troublesome (for security engineers). There's only one answer to that, build a better lock! Design a lock and key that will work easily (so it's practical) but where the flaw you exploited is absent. Those familiar with the British TV show The Great Egg Race will be familiar with such projects. Scrapyard Wars did something similar, but not quite as well IMHO, as The Great Egg Race was limited to common household items. Besides Prof Heinz Wolff was without equal in eccentricity and style. Only thing that could have made it better would have been adding Richard O'Brien. Anyways, the bits and pieces around a home are ample to construct, and experiment with, different lock designs. Though to be able to test the design properly, you'd need to have metalworking tools to construct a model suitable for testing rather than the loose assembly of junk that was the prototype. Why does this matter, if there are locks you can never defeat? Because, really, when you get down to nuts and bolts, you know there are always exploits. Perfect locks do theoretically exist, but even if someone designed one, it would be too expensive to produce. Complexity reduces reliability (unless you add extra quality control) and introduces new ways exploits could occur (unless you add extra testing). Doubling complexity quadruples the quality control AND testing required, but only increases security a diminishing amount each time. Consumers won't pay insane prices for a lock thats only 0.001% better than the cheap one next to it. So you know the lock can be beaten. All you have to do is get into the head of the designer. Engineering is methodical and systematic, the laws of physics don't vary, so if you can design a better lock, you're halfway to knowing what a "better lock" even means. From there, it's analysis all the way. You know the why, because you discovered that with your own experiments. You know the what, because you can look. The rest is just cryptanalysis, how to turn your knowledge into a pseudo key. Electronic locks are an exception only because the DMCA forbids you from knowing how they work. Even where no similar law exists... well, just look up DeCSS Jon Johansen's terrifying treatment as an example of what happens even when such examination is protected by law. However, what you do in the privacy of your bedroom should be ok.

titleSumerian Word of the Day - Ud
bodyUd ![D](http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/edition2/png/UD.png) is the Sumerian word for "sun". When the Babylonians arrived, this became Utu. There are a number of different types of sign in Sumerian - they used logograms (a symbol that represents a word) and syllabic signs (a symbol that generally represented a consonant, followed by a vowel, followed by a consonant, although there were symbols that represented a vowel-consonant pair or a consonant-vowel pair). This is where things get fun. We really don't know what the vowels were, they were never written down in any of the early Middle Eastern languages. Most of the vowel values are based on what other people - such as the Greeks - thought they heard. The bilingual and trilingual texts that exist have phonetic approximations, usually of names as these didn't have an exact translation. Here are some attempts to render the sound of Sumerian, to give an idea of how scholars think it worked. [First few lines of Gilgamish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcTsFe1PVs) [Conversational Sumerian](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H-Vhsma7ck) It's much, much easier to find Akkadian and Babylonian speech, as Semitic languages follow similar rules. It's therefore easier to reconstruct. Besides, the Babylonians are better-known. However, this makes it rather boring. Anyone can do the possible, given long enough.

bodyhttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5b/Proto-cuneiform_Lu2_list.svg/1280px-Proto-cuneiform_Lu2_list.svg.png Now, the general belief is that the Sumerian writing system evolved from the above characters. The idea is that they turned them into crude outlines, which became simpler over time. There are some competing ideas, but they don't matter for this. http://www.ancientscripts.com/images/su_signs.gif I do wonder if some of these characters were adopted by the Egyptians. The very early forms do look a bit close to Egyptian hieroglyphs but I'm unaware of a link and, frankly, there's not much you can do with primitive outline art.

The very early forms do look a bit close to Egyptian hieroglyphs but I'm unaware of a link and, frankly, there's not much you can do with primitive outline art.",

titleSumerian of the Day
bodyhttp://cdli.ucla.edu/dl/daily_tablets/RSM7-521c91d137921.jpg The writing implement used in writing cuneiform was a reed that was cut at a slight angle so as to produce more of an arrow rather than a circle. The Sumerian word for this reed was, apparently, gi-dub-ba, where "gi" meant reed and "dub" meant clay tablet. The literal translation of gi-dub-ba was therefore something like "reed of the tablet". Oxford University in the UK has a handy guide for writing cuneiform. Well, script has fallen out of fashion, it's hard to get decent paper, so it only makes sense to have an alternative. http://cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=how_to_write_cuneiform The Sumerians called the arrow/teardrop symbol "santag", but I'm unhappy with the suggested etymology. A complete list of symbols (known) and what period they were used in is kept at the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative. It's a comprehensive site, albeit not always useful. http://cdli.ox.ac.uk/wiki/sign_lists Yoda would have appreciated Sumerian. It's confusing and the word order is weird to us. One of the annoying things about Sumerian is that is was never designed to render speech, it was originally designed as a memory aid. As it got more complex, symbols became simpler and writing more complex, but advanced shorthand is still shorthand. Anything "obvious" never gets included. Unfortunately, it's not obvious now and that makes it difficult to read or speak. (Side note to sci-fi fans - Anne McCaffery based several novels on just that one point, and many visions of the Singularity event in society depend on it. Quick, easy, assumption-free - pick any two.)

bodyThat is truly a superb reply and I'm now following your posts - partly brecause you understand, but also because it's only fair that if you can help me, I should try to do the same on the rare occasions I can. Different perspectives mean that you get to feel just as supported. Thank you very much for the advice. Somewhere, in my mind, the theme to Mission: Impossible started, but I know this isn't impossible, just tough. In essence, "colloquial english" (the stuff people use) is a foreign language that's used by what might as well be a foreign tribe. Experiences long ago did not help. If I don't make it back, the survivors can share the imaginary chocolate cookies.

bodyAll I can say is that I'll definitely give it a try and that I definitely appreciate the advice. On my steemit-ideas post, I've expanded a little on the idea of people buying papers smd making them stories, which I still think holds promise. It would also be easier than making The Change. It took me three years to write a four page story, and that took a lot of help. Whatever happens, though, I truly appreciate your response, kind words, advice and all. Still think mastering ancient Sumerian will be easier, but ancient Sumerian is also less useful. So thanks and we'll see what happens.

bodyBrilliant article. It describes a lot of the problem, though not quite all. My own research into this paints a picture very very similsr to yours, but with a few extra twists and turns. Not all of which are necessarily actually there. It's easy to confuse cause with effect. What I would love is for you to produce a sequel, maybe more than one, that explores not only what could be done but the consequences of such a change, and how to cope with balancing the diverse needs involved in getting a broad enough focus and a broad enough range of freedoms with the highly eandom variations in abilities of individuals. Education theory has gone wrong, although it's not obvious how or why. We need something that will work better and not have disastrous side-effects. I've my thoughts but they're unusable as they are. I'm wanting to see thoughts that will work, just as thdy are, and you're so close to giving just that in addition to the situation that makes it necessary.

titleAssorted Steemit ideas from a geek of many chromosomes
bodyThe first of these, I've plugged elsewhere but will put here as an actual posted idea for discussion - the multi-queue. The idea is very simple. You have a proto-story queue, which I am tempted to call the Firehose but won't. This is a story marketplace, an incubator for overly raw material. People like me who have decent enough stories to tell but no capacity to tell them present a story that's been redrafted to death, we're sick of it, but it's not "prime time" material. Decent writers shuffle through and buy up the stories that interest them. No obligations, but they now own the rights to it, end of story. If the decent writers can then make more off the main site than they paid, everyone wins. Although the price for a draft is likely to be very low, due to the fact that although it may be content-rich, it needs to be story-rich. People need to have a reason to care about what comes after. The second idea is based on the fact that some people write stories. Scrolling stories is ok, some people like it, but I would like to propose an interface to the OpenLibrary code so that stories can also be read just like a book. Data is just data, having multiple ways to view it might be good. The third idea is an author's scratchpad. Have each author with an area where they can scribble notes, sort ideas, doodle, etc, where it isn't a story. The author has access, nobody else. It's where half-formed ideas develop. The step before incubation, but an important step, it's where ideas don't get lost or get pushed forward when not yet ready. The last idea is to have a link into other social media. Not WasteB, err, Facebook, I'm thinking more along the lines of Utherverse, countercultural venues such as Freenet and Syndie. Syndie would be the difficult one, but a Freenet connection to Steemit should be easy. No guarantees over who - or what, as they might not be human - would cross the bridge, but I can say it's likely to do odd things to the balance of articles. It should diffuse the stuff that's pretty turgid, effectively bulking up the quality, as well as increasing site activity.

bodyI understand and appreciate what you're saying 100% @alfar, online content consumption definitely favors the short and flashy. However, the good news, which I only know through personal experience, is that online writing is definitely a skill you develop, not inherit. A few years ago my writing was probably much closer to your style than my own, (minus all the science and math lol), and even still I often struggle with trying to turn what I think should be a 10 page essay into a 600-1500 word blog-post with flashy images. But I've struggled through the process enough times now that the struggle is more mental than anything else ("<em>but I wanna write how <b>I wanna</b> write!</em>", he with a nasally whine and a childish stomp of the feet"). So my humble advice is to just keep grinding away and try to make each post slightly more easily-digestible than the last. You'll be surprised how quickly your writing will transform itself if you just take continue to take baby steps. Good luck my man!

title
bodyAs with many of these advisory posts, I absolutely agree with every word but I can't find any way that I can implement them. Partly because of the nature of the content, partly because of the nature of moi. The only solution I can think of is to have a system whereby someone like myself drafts a piece and someone else rewrites it into a form that's intelligible and desirable by others. Because, frankly, nobody is going to change for my benefit and I'm very unlikely to change for theirs, yet I honestly feel that there's actual information content in my posts that others would want if it was in a form they would want it in, in an article they could tolerate reading. It's frustrating, yes. Because decent copy editors and collaborators are expensive, anyone who followed this approach immediately rules themselves out of the capitalism market. That puts it in about the same league as a science journal, where you pay to play. One might argue that that's not what Steem is about, that it's where you benefit by writing good stuff. Well, no, you benefit by writing popular stuff, and since I have never been in that category, I don't expect to benefit. That's just the reality. If I could find a collaborator who could take my basic papers and create a popular piece from it, they would earn every Steem point that piece earned because it's that popularity that is doing the earning. Is this fair? Probably not, but I can think of exactly one science text that reached #1 on the best-sellers list and it wasn't on the feeding habits of an obscure marsupial on Fridays after 3pm. Curiously, there's a reason for this. Those who are good at finding these sorts of things out are often terrible writers and usually worse communicators of why anyone else should care. That's life. For the perfectly capable but "stylistically challenged", guides like this should have a revolutionary effect. I expect many to benefit dramatically. For those of us who are more lexically challenged and whose style was surgically removed by Martians in the 70s, it's going to take something very different and I don't know if Steem has the ability yet. If the necessary features are to be added, it'll have to be people like the original author who proposes them because if I knew what it took to pair people up I'd have already done it. Therefore I don't, which should be obvious from my reply anyway.

titleCursive Writing, Recipe Books and a Challenge
body<html> <p>I include for your delight and/or memory exhaustion (it's a big file) and/or patience exhaustion (it's very hard to read) a scanned page from Caroline Duncan's handwritten recipe book from the 1800s.</p> <p><img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif" alt="Your browser does not appear to support TIFF images, or just really hates very large ones"/></p> <p>( If the image above does not appear - and don't be shocked if it doesn't as a lot of browsers hate TIFF files, the link is: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif</a> )</p> <p>To me, this is cursive writing at its very best - full of expression, full of care, full of swirly bits. It's also why cursive has deteriorated over the decades, although the density of information is greater than with print and although it does develop fine motor skills that the majority of most modern adults simply don't have, it's a pain and three quarters to read. Indeed, that's kind-of the point. Cursive was for slower times, when care and attention mattered more than getting the gist of things.</p> <p>The book is not horribly long, but I can't find anywhere online that is capable of storing images at a high enough resolution, and I can't find a decent program for converting bitmaps of this kind into programmatic descriptions.</p> <p>Anyways, onto the challenge. Well, two challenges.</p> <p>The Geek XYZZY-Prize shall be given to whoever can find a way to convert this kind of image into some useful representation, such as Metafont, Metaplot or Asymptote. Unless that can be done, I can't post the rest of the book.</p> <p>The Recipe XANDBACON-Prize shall be given to whoever can actually read the book.</p> <p>The prizes will probably be limited to something stupid, I don't have a whole lot and I'm not making a whole lot, so it'll be mostly for the glory and the pain unless there are intrigued whales. Sorry.</p> </html>

      "body": "<html>\n<p>I include for your delight and/or memory exhaustion (it's a big file) and/or patience exhaustion (it's very hard to read) a scanned page from Caroline Duncan's handwritten recipe book from the 1800s.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif\" alt=\"Your browser does not appear to support TIFF images, or just really hates very large ones\"/></p>\n<p>( If the image above does not appear - and don't be shocked if it doesn't as a lot of browsers hate TIFF files, the link is: <a href=\"https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif\">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49824751/Recipes-HiRes-Page01.tif</a> )</p>\n<p>To me, this is cursive writing at its very best - full of expression, full of care, full of swirly bits. It's also why cursive has deteriorated over the decades, although the density of information is greater than with print and although it does develop fine motor skills that the majority of most modern adults simply don't have, it's a pain and three quarters to read. Indeed, that's kind-of the point. Cursive was for slower times, when care and attention mattered more than getting the gist of things.</p>\n<p>The book is not horribly long, but I can't find anywhere online that is capable of storing images at a high enough resolution, and I can't find a decent program for converting bitmaps of this kind into programmatic descriptions.</p>\n<p>Anyways, onto the challenge. Well, two challenges.</p>\n<p>The Geek XYZZY-Prize shall be given to whoever can find a way to convert this kind of image into some useful representation, such as Metafont, Metaplot or Asymptote. Unless that can be done, I can't post the rest of the book.</p>\n<p>The Recipe XANDBACON-Prize shall be given to whoever can actually read the book.</p>\n<p>The prizes will probably be limited to something stupid, I don't have a whole lot and I'm not making a whole lot, so it'll be mostly for the glory and the pain unless there are intrigued whales. Sorry.</p>\n</html>",

bodyFirstly I currently live with an Aspie . . . Not a lot of people know much about Aspies and almost nothing about Aspergers so please believe I understand probably about 7 % of your journey and maybe about 4 percent more than most others reading your post . . . Currently my Aspie is busy into his thing in life and nothing is allowed to intrude into his precision world, so maybe I do understand something of what your saying. During a recent moment of speech he described himself as an obsessed narcissist. That he and many Aspies can be obsessive does not mean he is truly a narcissist, he is just wired differently. He is nothing to me except we share the place habitat currently and sometimes I want to throw my Aspie into the lake; but truly he ' grows ' on you , he is simply a great person in so many ways. Put another way he is nothing to me and yet he has managed to make himself a central part of my interest. Yes he drives me crazy rarely but he is so great in other ways . . . I think autistic individuals have difficulties in finding themselves; but once they find their true calling they tend to become amazingly good at it. This is not just conjecture but by noticing decades of life experience and some health professional studies. Personally three months ago I was a terrible writer, but I am improving. The funny thing is this; so is everyone else who is persisting at Steemit : ) thus I remain firmly wedged in my own little pond as a minnow. Over time I will find the identities of these higher minnows and dolphins, "cleaners " and ' hit-men ' will be dispatched; I will move further up the Rewards and Reputations charts. . . In the mean time I will follow your posts and see whatever I can do to help out a fellow steemian who is trying to be helpful and increase his/her market share in Steem. Over time I think I will get further by helping others achieve a little so that everyones shares in Steemit grow. That way when I sign out and close my eyes at night I know there is some little ten year old Asian boy in Korea tirelessly working to improve Steemit for the benefit of mankind ( and WOmankind ) [ PC = Political Correctness ] while I smile blissfully as sleep overtakes me and I realise this strangers actions are increasing the value of my Steem : ) / hugz : ) P.S. While you say there are hundreds of thousands of words in the English language; daily people actually use only under 5,000 different words. In fact most people never use more than 30,000 words during ordinary lifetimes. Remember your here not to write long articles like I do, they seldom get read; your trying to reach simplistic people, so avoid big words. Write short punchy sentences, maximum of 99 words for the entire post keep it simple. You must remember most of the people reading this either did not go to college or spent some serious time in college using some serious gear like booze or weed. These are not university professors here, so try and find some quality authors and try and find your little niche where you can enjoy posting your content. Try and understand your audience; many autistic people are very smart actually so you will need to simplify your content for fools, it seems that your desire for precision is what gets in the way of you learning to talk down to idiots . . .

bodyI am willing to believe that everything you say is 100% correct. However. First off, that's inherently not me. As an autistic individual, part-time obsessive and long-time sufferer of abuse if I get the slightest thing off or ambiguous, I've become fanatical about precision. Pictures aren't precise and haven't proven useful to me to get my points across. It means I probably lose a lot of Steem dollars, maybe thousands, but a lifetime of conditioning and my inability to express what I need visually means the only way I can do this is collaboratively. I need my sanity, what's left of it. If someone thought my posts could be spiced up, made successful, I've no problem with me giving them a draft and them keeping 90-95% of the Steem dollars produced from the finished product. There's no obvious mechanism in Steem for doing this, though. I can read through style guides that I sincerely believe are superb, but I can do nothing with them. Secondly, there are dangers in oversimplification. Every word provides a degree of freedom, which may or may not be used. If it isn't used, removing it isn't any big deal. However, English is a very poor language, it has only 26 characters (too few for phonetic spelling) and only 300,000 words. Grammar, the thing that lets you use such a poor, enfeebled language in complex ways, is a dying art. Aztec codices are picture-rich, word-poor and content poor. They also got grotesquely misinterpreted by the Spaniards who had virtually all of them burned - along with the Aztecs. There's a reason Gaiman (brilliant artist) produced Sandman comics rather than Linux developer guides. A comic book version of Lord of the Rings will have less subtlety and none of the nuances of the novels, even though it could be perfectly good. This isn't impossible to solve, but it requires art to progress. Styles of art have changed, but art itself hasn't seen any really new techniques in 12,000 years, other than colour - and that was 3,000 years ago. Ideas have evolved a lot in that time, but art doesn't have any means of presenting them. To get this extra information, all the nuances etc, you need to do something to art that is the equivalent in magnitude to its discovery 35,000 years ago. Since someone discovered it, it can be done.
