The Monkees' music was recorded by "the wrecking crew", a gang of session musicians who were involved in most of the 60's hits. There is a very nice documentary about them on netflix named "The Wrecking Crew"

In the documentary they explain how these session musicians where so good, the Monkees' trained for a year before they could play the hits close enough for live concerts.

Yeah, it's mostly all an illusion and mostly it works for most people. The standard script our rulers provide gratifies our emotions, giving us just enough safety to raise our children and just enough of a glimpse into the fearful world (think: police shows) to make us never question them while the billionaire rulers fly from house to house, from beach to beach, with a short stop at the schools to make sure as few as possible of us learn how to self-govern (hint: by emphasizing answers rather than questions).

If you look, at least at American music culture since the beginning of the industrial age, you'll see cycles of people seeking authenticity (the beats, hippies, hip-hop, grunge, etc). Generally, that authenticity gives birth to some consumable form, such as the stuff that passes for hip-hop nowadays, as well as the "corporate grundge" of the 90s. I'm not as familiar with other eras, but I understand authenticity to be a huge point of critique w/r/t 60s pop culture.

My favorite (ironically-meant) part of this article was when they pointed out the music was engineered for shopping malls, as opposed to home stereos and that it is "more captivating than virtuoso musicians." The fact that a cybernetic artifact (pop-by-committee) can supplant the intimacy of a live performance by a master is astonishing and disturbing. I hope it's not true... but if you think about it, even the concept of a virtuoso is an economic artifact of a ruler/leader with excess capital to support the specialization of a lifelong performer. I believe the same or more authenticity can be had from amateurs or mid-level players, although that's probably my own bias.
It seems incredibly hard to "discover" an artist these days. There are so many musicians out there that aren't quite good enough. To be able to pick out the good ones pretty much requires dedicating your life to it: http://www.npr.org/people/2100252/bob-boilen

Its much easier just putting together a dream team of writers and musicians that have made hits in the past.

That being said there is still an amazing amount of great music out there that doesn't hit the charts. Live music seems to be the best place to discover and contribute to those artists. Too bad its mostly focused in a few major cities.

That last point is important. Even ignoring security, NSA, etc. there's the simple point of being a reliable partner. Microsoft has been almost random with how they're deciding on API's, desktop appearance, and so on. Then, without consistency from there. The amount they've fought with users over the damned start menu is probably the perfect case. The kludge I set up for a relative on Win 8 was ridiculous and whole experience reminded me why I'm on Linux (& Win7 previously).

Well, they're there but really hard to find unless you are lucky enough to live in a market with an independent, listener supported radio station such as KXT here in Dallas.

Indy recordings are not all good, sometimes they play some kinda crappy, pitchy local artists but at least it's not the record industry decreed crap everybody else plays. And there are some treasures out there.
The advantage of any checked memory management scheme, be it a runtime thing like a tracing gc or a fancy type system, is not to give a tighter over-approximation of liveness but to guarantee that you never under-approximate it.

In other words, preventing memory leaks is undecidable, but you can at least be sure you're not freeing useful memory.

That if you put money somewhere that has negative interest, you have to pay a percentage for it, instead of receiving it. (=you pay for storing money, instead of getting a reward for it)
Also less oxygen for the cyclist.
But the error is in the 17th place: insignificant. Before such an error represents single digit pennies, you're looking at astronomical money.

The main problem with ordinary, IEEE 754 binary floating point for money is that even run-of-the-mill numbers like $123.45 (nowhere near astronomical) exhibit serious problems when added together, due to 0.45 not being representable exactly in binary, and causing cumulative rounding errors.

This is cured by decimal floating point, which represents $123.45 exactly.

If you deal with quantities that stay within the 16 digits of precision, you will nigh hardly have a problem.

Incredibly fascinating article. The article mentioned both the 'sameness' of pop music as well as blatant copying, but what I find the most interesting is how they pop industry has somehow found some magical rate of evolution to keep most people interested while not changing too fast to alienate certain demographics.

A few years ago, when dubstep was still fairly new, a build up and shift as dramatic as the typical dubstep 'drop' would have been fairly jarring for most pop music. Fast forward to today and you hear elements of it almost everywhere, but it all happened gradually enough to make it feel familiar but different enough to be exciting.
The base is 10, but the mantissa is in binary. Before you add or subtract you must get the numbers to have equal exponents. In other formats you can do it with shifting, but this format requires binary multiplication or division.

I was thinking about this just the other day and looking back at the past 20 years, the small but persistent efforts by Japanese government to provoke neighbors by claiming isles as their own or pissing off WW2 victims by saying they were prostitutes and not sex slaves employed by the Japanese Army, has finally paid off.

All those years pissing off many Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese appears to have been a very carefully concocted foreign policy with the goal of aggravating action from a large military power to bring tension in the region and thus receiving the attention of the US. With the backdrop of China's unprecedented growth and military expansion, this turned out remarkly well for Japan.

I often look at outcomes of today for Japan and their past diplomacy in East Asia, specifically designed to create tension and worry America enough to let the dog from the leash.
It's hard to know what's real and what's not real with TPP, since we don't know what's in it.

Having said that, I agree with your analysis. This move is necessary for Japan to enter into regional security agreements - other countries aren't going to enter into a mutual defense pact with Japan if it can't assist in their defense when they're attacked.
> The result would be the characters that are in the first string but not in the second string

A result would be that, but I certainly would not call it the result.

Another result would be to treat the strings as byte arrays and subtract one byte from another, e.g. [a1,a2,a3] - [b1,b2,b3,b4] would result in [a1-b1, a2-b2, a3-b3, -b4]. I'm sure you could do any number of different "correct" operations. And then it's up to you, as a language designer, to decide what you think string-minus-string should actually do... and there is zero probability that everybody in the programming community will agree with your decision.

There are more good artists today than there ever has been, but the issue is that the Jimi Hendrixs of today are typically tossed to the "not quite good enough" -pile by those who professionally discover new artists. It's unfortunate that nowadays to listen to good new artists you'll need to be active and follow genres where an artists become popular through word of mouth and good music.
>Abe went from being very cool on the TPP to coming out in favor (at least in public) almost overnight an the only thing that changed in that period in US-Japan relations was the US state department giving Japan approval to re-militarize. There were virtually no changes to the deal.

Abe has been pushing for constitutional changes since he returned to the PM's office, and the US has been supportive all along since it means we'll be putting fewer resources into guaranteeing Japan's defense.

This has been in the cards since before TPP even existed.

this is correct, binary dependencies are not supported. The possible way to solve this is to compile non-js code into Asm.js/WASM or directly into js. I think this makes system a bit more stable (null-pointer error in the kernel mode will crash the OS for example) and makes V8 updates much more easier.

Remember the NSA's infamous "I hunt sysadmins" [1].

Software engineers, ops people, and sysadmins at big tech companies with interesting data are high-value targets. If you can can run code on production infrastructure or a large install base, you should assume you are being actively, personally targeted by multiple advanced persistent threats, including at least one state intelligence agency, and adjust your OPSEC accordingly.

They want into your infrastructure, and the easiest way into your infrastructure may well be your SSH key.

Both of the above are true. China is getting more aggressive about control of the oceans near, and not so near, China. China has a territorial dispute with Japan over the islands south of Kyushu and northeast of Taiwan. China is also claiming some islands further south, in the South China Sea, but that disagreement is with Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

China's military parade last week was very anti-Japan. Of course, Japan did invade China during WWII. That's not being forgotten by the current leaders of China. China made a big point of their land-based anti-ship missiles, which were featured prominently in the parade.
So what is your point?
It's bad when crossing the border. Rumor says it's due to traffic analysis by the GFW. I cannot find any source to prove or disprove that though.
Thats 400k*365 = 146 million per year extra in storage costs.
Considering FB's market cap/market worth is 265 Billion with $13B in annual revenue and photos is part of its core service, that amount of extra cost in negligible to their business. Not hard to increase those revenues by at least 3% annually which would bring another $400m a year, easily covering any extra storage costs from photos.
It's true and if you read Chinese, it is already all over the Internet.

I don't know if the popularity of this on HN is a case of the emperors new clothes, or if I am really missing something, but to me this is sophomoric. There is nothing inherently base-10 to finance or any other field. Finance deals in exact quantities but that is because it deals in exact units. E.g. if a single stock tick is 0.1 cents, then a 0.11 cent increase is as meaningless as a 1/30 cent increase. There is no more need to represent arbitrary exact decimals as there is to represent arbitrary exact binary decimals. All that finance needs is integer multiples of the relevant unit. And presumably this is already hardcoded into their COBOL or FORTRAN code.

Nothing presented on that page made me thing that DEC64 would be useful for anything that integer arithmetic in the right units would not be better suited to.
Yeah, that actually looks nice.

Some of the best programmers I know work from places like that. There's a lot to be said for getting away from big cities.

Your missing the point of my comment. The whole system of data-mining, surveillance, stalking, sharing of data with untold 3rd-parties IS criminal - eula or otherwise. The only thing these guys did that breaks with 'current accepted (criminal) practices' is that they modified someone else's code to do what everyone else is already doing.

So yes... I read the article and a bit more...
Adding to what the other comments say, these days a lot of the time through security is wasted on the multiplicity of items that have to go through the scanners.

Instead of just chucking your hand luggage on the conveyor belt, you have to take out your laptop and tablet, you have to take off your jacket, belt and shoes, and assorted metal things (keys, etc.) -- I usually end up having to use four trays for all my stuff when traveling internationally.

I remember the 90s well, when the security gate took less than 20 seconds -- you walked through the metal detector and then waited for your bag. Since the queue wasn't jammed up with people, your bag usually came out at the same time that you were done walking through the detector. Occasionally something set off the detector, of course, but then they just made you go through again without the offending item.

It's definitely much worse now.

That's traditional "external" egr. Many newer engines have an "internal" egr implementation, which just changes valve timing so that some amount of the combustion products are never evacuated from the cylinder in the first place. With cam phasing becoming commonplace, internal egr can be implemented without adding any additional parts, and is thus cheaper. So the "recirculation" part of egr is becoming more and more of a misnomer.

Personally I like internal egr because external egr systems have a tendency to clog in either the passageways or the solenoid controlled valve. EGR valve sticking is a common cause of cars stalling when slowing to a stop after cruising at medium-high speed. And even without the stalling egr is a common cause for check engine lights and smog test failures.
According to the posted source (if that's the actual one) it is just basic stuff.

Less valuable currencies have bigger numbers (eg 1 USD = 17472.5 BYR), so suddenly it's only a few million USD worth of money.

Even worse for extreme examples of inflation. Not that the individual unit is actually worth anything there, but calculating it with enough precision is probably easier than the regulation to deal with where money is allowed to disappear or to suddenly exist.
That's dumb.

Blocking ads isn't theft. I don't mean that there is certainly no ethical problems with it, but it isn't theft.

And, I'm fairly confident that there are more ethical problems in preventing people from doing it, than in people doing it.

If you send me a webpage, and I have not agreed to a contract that you would reasonably expect me to really understand, generally I think I have the right to do almost whatever I want with it (locally, anyway).

I'm not even saying this as someone who blocks ads. I don't, other than flash ads (because I block all flash embeds, not specifically ads)

Some say that if a business can't remain in business while paying its employees a living wage, then the company ought to fail.

I say, if your business can't succeed without embedding audio ads that start playing 2 mins after I've switched tabs (with nothing on the page to show where it is coming from), and me allowing those to play, then your business also ought to fail.

My computer is my property, and I will have it display for me what you send me in whatever format I choose.

If you don't want people to receive your content without justification, then don't send them your content without compensation.

and, again, I would like to emphasize that I do not run any ad blockers. I am not saying this to justify my actions.

I am saying this because I think my freedom is important.
It's all play acting. They figure out how many votes they need to satisfy the people with the money, and any excess is allowed to vote the other way.

Let's say the Congress wants to pass something the banks like, and they have 50 more votes than they need. The party leaders figure out who represents districts that won't like the legislation and those representatives get to vote against. In the end it's a super close vote, on paper, so 49 Congressmen can go back to their district and say "Gosh, I did my best, but we just couldn't stop it."

Look at the Iran deal. Treaties need 60 votes to pass the Senate. Now, Republican voters don't like the treaty, but the Republican establishment wants it to pass. So what do they do? They pass a bill that assumes consent and sets up a second vote that will only stop the treaty if 60 vote against it. Then they go back to their districts and pretend the second vote was the real one.
