Your Dunkle Sans posted:Really dumb question, but in America, why do we (by common parlance) feel the need to label people as African-American, Asian-American, etc but do not hyphenate white people? It's not Caucasian-American, it's just "American." Well, White Americans used to discriminate against each other. Ever taken a shot of Dutch courage before going Dutch on a date, only to get in Dutch for staying out late? It's just been toned down lately. It mostly came from the African-American community, because a lot of racists tended to poo poo on whatever was the term for black people at the time, which kind of lead to a weird escalating war of making up new names for black people to avoid previously racist connotations. And they ended up with African-Americans. With that said, I have never met any black person who's really cares if you called them black. African-American is for polite writing, black is the common vernacular. Same kind of thing kind of happen with Asians. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese immigrants, really don't want to be mistaken for each other for historic reasons. Much easier to just label them all as Asian-Americans. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Feb 20, 2016 |

It's not Caucasian-American, it's just "American." I wonder if other English-speaking countries do this too. From the years I've lived in Australia, I've never heard children of foreign-born parents being called "Greek-Australians" or "Italian-Australian". Separate question: My iPod Nano doesn't let out sound anymore. This is already my third Nano's and they all had had problems, so I'm thinking of just buying an MP3 player. All I listened to on my Nano are podcasts. I'm looking for something that allows me to sort episodes of the same podcast into their own 'folder' or 'playlist'. So I can move from Folder Podcast A to Folder Podcast C and listen to episode 5 of Podcast C without actually having to sort through File A-1 to File C-5. The JB Hi-Fi guy I asked said this might be able to do that , but another guy from a Sony store said it definitely couldn't. Back in Indonesia the local electronics shop guy I asked said almost all MP3 players can do that and led me to this. So my question is, which is it? Can most mp3 players do what I wanted, arranging podcast files into folders and moving through folders instead through individual files? Thank you.

Flipperwaldt posted:There's definitely cheap stuff out there that can't do it. Doesn't matter though, the most common recommendation on these forums for a decent, cheap-ish, non-apple mp3 player is something from the Sandisk Sansa Clip range, which can all definitely navigate to and play from folders. Sweet. For some reason common electronics stores here in Australia doesn't sell Sansa Clip Zip, so I'll just get the only one available, a Clip Jam. Thanks!

The Clip Zip has been out of production for years, that's why. Currently there is only the Clip Jam and the Clip Sport.

If you have a smartphone just use a podcast app.

tuyop posted:Yeah I can't find the thread now at all but a dude posted a "walking across America AMA" thread and his plan was to walk along highways in summer in Nevada with a backpack and a bike stroller trailer thing he bought off craigslist for 80 bucks. He bought all his gear from Walmart and refused to open or test any of it before he would need it, it still had tags. He also refused to listen to anyone about gear and only changed his route slightly after like 30 pages of yelling. Was there a This American Life or Radiolab episode about this guy? I remember hearing about a similar story on one of those podcasts.

toanoradian posted:Separate question: If you want something with really good podcast handling (including things like removing podcasts from device when listened to but keeping them on your computer, keeping track of your place, etc), pick up a used Zune HD. They also have really good battery life and are nice and small. The software is also still supported on Windows 10. The 16 GB model goes for about $35-50 on ebay, the 32 GB goes for $75. the 64 GB goes for about $150.

What are the etymological origins of the phrase "to jump down [person's] throat?" I found a brief explanation that mentioned that it first occurred in a novel called Cousin Henry from 1879, but the explanation gave very little context and no linguistic explanation at all.

No no no, a centerpiece is the main focus of a spread, so unless you want to make the final speaker feel like he/she is some driftwood afterthought avoid that term. Also, you do not have three keynote speakers - you have one, like every other conference. That is the nature of a keynote speaker and they will probably want to go last to summarize what everyone learned and add their thoughts. I'm not trying to be rude but who put you in charge? You don't seem to know what a conference is for. e: you really could have just searched wikipedia for the term "keynote speaker" following your invitation to run the conference. For your sake I hope none of them have any sort of ego or self respect. Kings Of Calabria fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Feb 21, 2016 |

You don't seem to know what a conference is for. A keynote speaker doesn't go last to summarise or whatever, a keynote goes first to set the tone of the conference and discuss the broader themes that the conference talks will be going in depth on. I mean, if you had actually read the wikipedia page you're talking about, maybe you'd know that. quote:A keynote in public speaking is a talk that establishes a main underlying theme. In corporate or commercial settings, greater importance is attached to the delivery of a keynote speech or keynote address. The keynote establishes the framework for the following programme of events or convention agenda Kind of hard to establish the framework for a program that has already taken place...

dupersaurus posted:The only difference between the highly reactive fluorine (9) and high not-reactive neon (10) is one electron: fluorine badly wants to have another electron, so reacts with everything to get it, but neon has all the electrons it needs. Likewise sodium (11) has one more electron than it really needs to have, so it really wants to share it with others. Huh? i thought was how ions worked, not normal elements.

Oh it's a complete tangent that my mind's been on from catching up on the pseudoscience thread, long story short it's a fancy lamp at mark up because it claims to "remove negative ions from the air".

I would assume photomikey is referring to three different opening presenters of three different presentations for a conference. Like, if it was a photography conference, there could be a presentation on "Modern photojournalism" a presentation on "Going freelance" and a presentation on "Tools of the trade" Each could be a few hours long, and feature multiple speakers, with a headlining speech for each. In which case centerpiece still would not be an appropriate term, you'd probably want to denote presentations by the time of day rather than importance, with a morning, afternoon, and late-afternoon or evening one, and simply label keynote speakers by their topics. If I'm giving mikey too much benefit of the doubt, and he actually is misusing the term, feel free to disregard that advice.

Baron Porkface posted:Huh? i thought was how ions worked, not normal elements. You're right, that is how ions work. The difference between elements isn't (necessarily) the number of electrons, it's the number of protons. An atom will usually have the same number of electrons and protons, and when they don't it becomes an ion. But it's the number of protons that determines an element.

Baron Porkface posted:Huh? i thought was how ions worked, not normal elements. The gold/platinum question is an electron question since its electron energy levels that define things like color and reflection. In the bigger picture of what makes one element different from another, electrons are still a big part, but other factors (like protons and isotopes) make up the sum total of how an element interacts with the world.

What's a clever name for the mid-span keynote? First keynote speaker. Second keynote speaker. Third keynote speaker. IF your conference really has three different themes and corresponding breakout sessions. Otherwise the first one is the keynote, as previous posters have explained.

This is also not strictly true, the processing of a material has a ton to do with how it behaves. In this example, polishing metal can change it from black to shiny silver and there's no appreciable chemical action going on there. Basically the original question isn't small or stupid and the answer takes more than one paragraph posts. Not knocking anyone else's responses, as they're all part of a good answer.

Planning on renting a pocket WiFi hotspot and wondering if I should go 40Mbps Unlimited Data or 75Mbps with 10GB of data. It's about the same price and I will be the only one using it. I'm thinking of going with the 40Mbps since it will just be for me but wondering if the 35Mbps difference in speed is that noticeable for basic web browsing?

I really doubt you'll be able to consistently get 40 megabit let alone 75 megabit service for a lot of the day, if you're anywhere near a populated area. So just go for the 40 megabit unlimited plan.
