It looks like the good ole Pantip Plaza, (in)famous for all kinds of computer hardware and software of...err...dubious legality and contents, is a big food court now.

@econ_martens Can I get one?

[Chayanin @chayanin]

@scomma คิดว่าโดยหลักการก็น่าจะทำได้แหละ แต่ยังไม่เห็น implementation

[Chayanin @chayanin]

@scomma หมายถึงตั๋ว single fare ปรกติมันใช้ได้หนึ่งชั่วโมงหรือเปล่า ถ้าแบบนั้นที่อื่นก็มีแหละ ไม่ได้ตัดเงินทุกครั้งที่แตะ มาคำนวณสิ้นวันทีหลัง มี cap รายวันไรงี้ได้ด้วย

ยังไม่เห็นที่ไหนทำ EMV กับ pass หลายๆ แบบ ที่ซื้อล่วงหน้า (ตั๋วอาทิตย์ ตัวเดือน ตั๋วนักศึกษา ฯลฯ)

32 years ago in 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine declared independence.

That year I was graduating from high school. The world around me crumbled. I realized that my life was a lie. Everything I had been taught about the world was not true 1/

Picture from the 1980s of people queuing up waiting to use a lone public phone. The cost was 1 baht for 3 mins. The people at the end of the queue most likely waiting hours. Source: Rattanakosin FB page.

My twitter feed is full of people supporting Data Colada against a $25 million dollar lawsuit from Francesca Gino when they blew the whistle on her data fraud.

At the exact same time Harvard Business Review is promoting an article from Gino about how “speaking up” is dangerous!

if someone is a speaker of Saxon varieties, are they a Saxophone?

since there's Low and Upper Saxon varieties, i suppose a speaker of Upper Saxon is an Altosaxophone

[Chayanin @chayanin]

It wasn't too surprising (to me, at least) that someone coined "Batavophone".

Apparently, though, both "Dutchophone" and "Netherlandophone" seem to have even more hits on Google Scholar.

[iwsfutcmd will see you at VC5 @iwsfutcmd]

it seems that the pattern is "use the English term for the language as a prefix up until a Latin prefix can be found, preferably as distant from the English prefix as possible."

so:

"Sinophone" not "*Chinophone"
"Batavophone" not "*Dutchophone"
etc.

any more examples?

This is absolutely hilarious (h/t Al Roth): a business ethics paper examining references to Machiavelli accidentally identified the cluster of matching theory papers cross-citing "Machiavelli and the Gale-Shapley algorithm" and "Ms. Machiavelli and the stable matching problem," which naturally have nothing to do with The Prince 💀 https://t.co/lpjbwdFN3X

RT @ThaiEnquirer: The speeches from the MPs and senators have concluded, and the voting process will soon begin.

The voting will be done…

From time to time I learn of a cognate relationship between English and Dutch/German that seems so obvious ex post, but I never figured it out myself.

Today, I just learnt that (en) ‘cheap’ is cognate with (nl) ‘koop’ and (de) ‘Kauf’. (The correspondences are all there!)

Is using (what looks to me like) the Optima typeface on this book cover some sort of designer's joke? Like a visual pun?

เมื่อ 7 ปีที่แล้ว ผมและเพื่อนออกมาเคลื่อนไหวรณรงค์ไม่รับร่างรัฐธรรมนูญ 60โดยทำแผ่นพับ 7 เหตุผลในการไม่รับร่างฯ

จากกิจกรรมนั้นเราโดนจับ ติดคุก โดนยึดเเผ่นพับทั้งหมด ตอนนั้นผมได้ฟังผลประชามติจากในห้องขัง สภ.ภูเขียว ทั้งแพ้ ทั้งติดคุก มันดับความใฝ่ฝันและตอกย้ำความพ่ายแพ้…
