hammer and sickle 是 镰刀斧头 的意思

就算新闻记者是无冕之王，但天朝还是锤镰听政。 Even if journalists were kings without a crown, the hammer and sickle courts are still in session behind the screen. http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/10/16/ch...

上面的原文是中文，英文是global voice online的kenny翻译的。

我开始认为是整个这个短语hammer and sickle courts are still in session behind the screen是锤镰听政的意思。其实不是。

这个behind the screen么，翻译成垂帘听政是太夸张了，还是幕后好。

1. (2) screen, cover, covert, concealment — (a covering that serves to conceal or shelter something; “they crouched behind the screen”; “under cover of darkness”)

hammer and sickle 我开始没明白什么意思。一查

The noun hammer and sickle has 1 sense (no senses from tagged texts)

1. hammer and sickle — (the emblem on the flag of the Soviet Union)

熟悉，熟悉啊。：）

镰刀斧头下的法庭让记者么为难了？我看大部分记者不为难。镰刀斧头没和他们挣钱相抵触就行。

non-abelian money; wealth as matrix

Electronic implementation of non-abelian money would be a snap. The social implementation might be a bit tougher, however – convincing people that their net wealth should be a matrix would be a tough sell, at least initially. Still, if non-abelian money changed some key results from economics, then in some niches it may be advantageous to make the switch, and possible to convince people that this is a good idea. http://michaelnielsen.org/blog/?p=269

abelian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abelian_group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Abelian

不明白。但想明白：）大家帮忙啊。我不是指翻译啊。我指数学概念和模型，然后用在货币上。我对现行货币制度太失望了。不公平！让财富成为矩阵吧。

对了。该文章开头举了个例子说什么是abelian money。很简单，有意思。

What would happen if we replaced the current monetary system, which is based on an abelian group [*] by a non-abelian currency system?

[*] If someone gives you x dollars, then y dollars, the result is the same as if you were given y dollars first, then x.

就是说我先给你x元，在给你y元钱，你的收入是x+y了，和我先给你y元再给你x元是一样的。数目和顺序没有关系。这么说来，在non-abelian系统中，先后顺序对结果是有影响的！！想不出来。：）

最后这个提醒很好。现在的货币中确实也有了non-abelian的系统

(It should, of course, be noted that there are in practice already many effects which make money act in a somewhat non-abelian fashion, e.g., inflation.

对，这个例子太好了。考虑通货膨胀的话其实给你钱的多少就合先后顺序（就是时间）有关系了。比如我年初向你借100元，说年末还你100元。到了年底，如果通货膨胀是10％，那么年底的110元才等价于年初的100元。但我只还你100元，其实你的财富已经变化了。把这个例子复杂一点，我年中还你50，年末还你50，通货膨胀假设还是10％。大家算算你亏了多少。：）

这个不是说朋友管你借钱一定要利息。这个是说，通货膨胀因素一定要考虑。比如，说今年大家工资都长5％，但通货膨胀是10％，你实际收入的购买力并没有增加反而减少了。国际上各国的央行、银行、政客最爱用这类谎言。

国家减税也是这样。我今年减税5％，年底通胀10％，你以为少交税了，但还是亏，但政客得到了减免税的好名声。可是国家不去控制通货膨胀，实际受损还是纳税人啊。

今天怎么说和英语无关的。

我确实想了解一下non-abelian的货币系统会是什么样子。大家帮我问问身边有没有特懂数学的。出来给解释一下。

这篇文章的评论也应该看。质量挺高。有人说了通胀不是non-abelian而是

Inflation isn’t non-abelian value of money, it’s time-variant value of money.

negative money的想法一样有趣。：）

Negative money has all kinds of cool and interesting properties. My favourites among those Ben suggested were these: (1) burglars might break into your house, and leave some cash; and (2) people would have much less incentive to counterfeit.

对了，这篇文章的作者也不是一般人。他是过去12年中量子计算领域第一人。不过今年不干那个了。转做完全不同的网络科学写作出版了！

I’m trying to ride my new bike to as many places as possible. Most days this involves riding past Booda Beans. It’s everything you would expect from a neighborhood coffee-shop-that-isn’t-Starbucks, offering coffee in various combinations of size, temperature, and artificial flavor. Plus pastries and bulk candy. On the dark side, the owner drives an Escalade and watches Fox News all day, while peddling caffeine and sugar to strung-out suburbanites. On the bright side, they offer free wireless.

Pastry is the name given to various kinds of dough made from ingredients such as flour, butter, shortening, baking powder or eggs. … en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastries

bulk + majority: the property resulting from being or relating to the greater in number of two parts; the main part; “the majority of his customers … + stick out or up; “The parcel bulked in the sack” + the property of something that is great in magnitude; “it is cheaper to buy it in bulk”; “he received a mass of correspondence”; “the volume of exports” + bulge: cause to bulge or swell outwards + the property possessed by a large mass wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

escalade The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury sport utility vehicle sold by the General Motors luxury brand, Cadillac. … en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Escalade

peddle sell or offer for sale from place to place wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

peddler

string-out set out or stretch in a line, succession, or series; “the houses were strung out in a long row” wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

suburban relating to or characteristic of or situated in suburbs; “suburban population” wordnet.princeto n.edu/perl/webwn

最后一句我不会翻译。似乎是咖啡和糖让人有一种郊区的感觉？请指教。

After all, the US government still holds the pink slip on the “international” space station, and the last thing they need floating through their overstretched, little heads is the image of zero-G Marxism study sessions. http://news.imagethief.com/blogs/china/archive/...

zero-g + Weightlessness is the experience (by people and objects) during free-fall, of having no apparent weight. … + en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-g

零重力这个词对应？

One of China’s under-appreciated pleasures is the enamel-stripping joy of a chewy White Rabbit Milk Candy. I’m not the first to be smitten, as a quick Googling will reveal. White Rabbit even has a Wikipedia entry http://news.imagethief.com/blogs/china/archive/...

大白兔奶糖，大家都知道。后面作者写了一些这个糖纸的设计为什么是”a masterpiece of psychedelic candy packaging design, “。太有意思了。：）

You can always buy a GOL if you get confused. F knows where the F went!!

Comment by Ashley 2007-10-05 15:38:22

The Gol was for the three developing markets, India, Brazil, and China.

I guess to cut down on costs they knocked the back doors off and made the car shorter. The F must have been knocked off to save on cost.

http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/10/03/faw-upd... I love the affordable gol~ but it’s not allowed to be sold in beijing because the its emission doesn’t qualified. Not clean enough.

comfart

wait a sekskunt

just a sekskunt, whadayamean?

of course, he might mean cumfartable/ rather than comfartable, which is more “moral degrading”, but more fun.
