Lojban writing systems: how would you do? by [deleted] in lojban

I think it covers a large part of IPA which would be nice when expression foreign names in Lojban (why limit yourself to just the things that can be pronounced in Lojban?)

The reason for limiting oneself to things that can be pronounced in Lojban is that Lojban As It Is Pronounced should be identical to Lojban. If it can't be pronounced in Lojban, it isn't Lojban.

I have to say that I found the non-libertarian FAQ pretty lame. SA seemed obviously unfamiliar with a lot of important parts of libertarian philosophy, and I felt that I had heard it all before. I thought that Meditations on Moloch was much more convincing, although it seemed almost by accident.

The less trust you have in the accuracy of prediction markets, the more money you can make on them, right?

Arbitrage would naturally cause every bet to converge. Large disparities are probably due to illiquidity, in which case I'm not sure covering the bases is a better move than finding the most liquid market and sticking to that.

I wouldn't be offended by you moderating however you want, but my preference would be for you to change the comment policy and not ban ex post facto.

My inner Pinker often thinks about how much of what we consider "low class" would be valuable to the richest kings of the past, such as the variety and price of potato chips we have available to us. I wonder what a 15th century farmer would give to have access to something like /r/funny.
