I believe I did critique the content.

I'm not understanding what you're explaining. Feel free to ignore me, or explain it more, but I still don't see any actual science in what you're talking about. I see technical terminology, but not scientific method.

The layout of keys on the keyboard is not a natural phenomenon that needs a scientific theory to explain, that was a (somewhat arbitrary) choice that has been canonized. The layout was decided in past history for known reasons that mix music theory, engineering and human factors, it wasn't something that science ever had a direct say in.

If this paper is science, what precisely does it explain that we didn't already know? Music theory isn't a science, and nobody ever claimed it was. Music theory is an art.

What, exactly, does this sciency sounding theory here demonstrate? I acknowledge that it's a useful framework for understanding intervals for physicists and computer scientists, but I don't see it actually showing why the major scale is major, and how to use that fact to compose music, do you? Does it somehow prove why a minor chord following a major chord sounds good to most people? Does it scientifically prove why a minor chord sounds sad and major happy? Does it prove why Turkish music sounds good to Turkish people and not to Canadians? I don't see anywhere in this document that anything about harmony is proposed and then proved via scientific method. I'm not sure it's possible, or a particularly useful goal either.

This document only covers a very tiny fraction of music theory, so it simply can't be a good replacement for music theory until it's much, much bigger.
I have been looking for this some time ago and I couldn't find anything.

Some site-specific crawlers exist, but nothing that works the way youtube-dl does: present a unified interface, and have filters for processing individual websites.
I think you're missing that the stock might not be liquid. If you're an employee at a pre-IPO startup, you might not be able to just exercise your options and immediately sell some of the stock (since there's no public market and you may be restricted from various private sales). But you may still want to exercise the options (because you're leaving the company, you're worried about a larger tax bill down the road, etc.)

If iOS appstore license only covered Apple software, then we would not be in this situation. The problem is that appstore license cover all software it distribute, and thus goes beyond that of some system library like kernel32.dll.

Both versions of the GPL have an exception to their copyleft, commonly called the system library exception. If the GPL-incompatible libraries you want to use meet the criteria for a system library, then you don't have to do anything special to use them; the requirement to distribute source code for the whole program does not include those libraries, even if you distribute a linked executable containing them.

I like how core features of React are being considered harmful. First it was component internal state, now it's mixins and next thing will be the lifecycle methods.

React components will then boil down to pure render functions. React will then be replaced by simpler VirtualDOM implementation. JS function declaration boilerplate will be removed from render functions, so they will be more HTML with some JS as the other way around. Also they will be called templates.

We are getting back to good-old-days PHP-style webcoding, but with few HUGE improvements.

1. no globals, mostly pure functions

2. no business logic in templates, but in easy-to-reason-about redux-style state reducers

3. client-side rendering / isomorphic apps possible
And so we should leave it open for everyone to do the wrong thing all the time? With no realistic and enforceable recourse?

There are far from no employees with about 3.5 million truck drivers in the US. A company cannot operate an automated commercial service today because there is no licensing system for driverless trucks. The unions aren't going to allow legalization of automated truck driving with that many jobs on the line.

You're not providing any argument for the ease of legalization here.
I published this article a couple of hours ago, but after looking add PewDiePie's reply[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JqJDRkKlt8], I feel that it was unfair to copy-paste verges headline and link to it, because it's inaccurate.

"Number one: Payola is deceptive to the audience..."

I don't see this being a problem even then because there's no actual harm. The audience is there to see an LPer do an LP sponsored or not. The content of the LP is still entertaining. What WB's agency did was give them explicit instructions to hide disclosures and avoid negative comments. The reason why PewDiePie and other LPers involved aren't being fined regardless of whether they've conformed to these requests or not (in the case of PewDiePie he actually put the disclosure in the description so legally he's off the hook regardless of how you or I feel) is due to the fact the regulation came out AFTER the fact.

"Number two: Payola is harmful to the economy in that it has a "rich get richer" effect..."

Unless there's a communist revolution in the near future I'm not seeing this as criminal as it's not criminal in and of itself. So don't try this angle unless you can show me a law that says rich people can't get richer categorically. I'm not interested in moral assessments in a legal situation I just want the legal facts not one's moral sentiments.

"Also, disclosing at the top of a video description is not enough as those descriptions do not get carried forward when the video is shared on other media outlets (Facebook, twitter, etc)."

Then I think the new regulation needs to be expanded to enforce content non-modification on presentation via third parties (DMCA could work here I think as the justification).

"I'm not sure when the FTC made the rule official, and so he might get a pass based on timing..."

The FTC as not fine PewDiePie and in their press release they've made no further mention of it him other than an example of some of the LPers that were working with the agency hired by WB. And since the regulation came AFTER the game and LPs were done they're not going to be fined, ever. So just deal with the fact his annoying self is going to be gracing YT for the foreseeable future (even I cringe at that thought, eew). But the fact you all are overblowing the actual legal impact of this case demonstrates a critical break from the reality of it and dishonesty on part of sites like the Verge (at least Variety reported that PewDiePie clarified the situation rather than tried to ignore it like the Verge has done so far). So, now I refuse to go to the Verge's site until they add to the beginning of the article that PewDiePie and other LPers are not in violation of the regulations as is. Until then I'm going to call out the writer and the Verge as dishonest. If they want to win me back start by reporting the facts and not supposition.
It is a perfectly good question to ask for the VC-type about to write a check to the one-guy you mentioned.

The fact that you do not speak their dialect does not make their communication any less meaningful. If anything, it means you will always be working for some one-guy or another, instead of being the one-guy.
Yes. Spectral is a bit more about composing using overtones than beat frequencies. I know the latter has been done, but I mixed them up a little, I would have described it as overtones were I to write my initial comment again.

I agree that it's not producing pleasant music to the masses. It's more of an academic exercise, but it is influencing modern music theory and bridging classical music theory with a more recent understanding of harmonics.
Unfortunately things have gotten much more complex since then. Unless things have changed recently, Shippo offers Commercial Base pricing for USPS and you bring your own UPS and FedEx numbers.

The developer documentation for UPS is thousands of pages long. The document explaining how to quote a domestic shipment is over 600. I don't have them in front of me right now, but FedEx is the same. You can't even integrate directly with USPS anymore. You have to go through someone like Stamps.com, Endicia (which are now one and the same), etc.

We only ship 200-300 packages daily, but there are benefits in using multiple carriers. For one, small lightweight and low-value packages always go USPS. Flat rate boxes are free and easy to use. Between the two big private guys, using multiple carriers gives you a negotiating advantage. Our reps probably visit us twice a month to try and keep on our good side.

Our ERP can calculate the best value and delivery time for a given order. For example, taking advantage of the FedEx Express OneRate program for a given package might a) reduce our net cost because the boxes are provided to us for free and b) get there 2-3 days faster for a buck more versus UPS Ground. And we can pack 50 pounds into that Express box under the OneRate program.

Stocking supplies isn't too terribly hard. We probably have 20 box sizes we use, plus FedEx and UPS small/medium/large vendor-supplied boxes and a few USPS sizes. Takes up a surprisingly small amount of space.
While I'm play PoGo, I'm most enjoying watching the second-order effects: how small and large businesses are reacting to the sudden change, how groups of people are congregating in places and with people they'd never otherwise see, how people who see games in general as juvenile see (or don't see) what's happening around them...

Born and raised in California. I haven't been to New York, but I have driven across the country before (but not for quite some time).

> the same basic tragedy religion is present in all state media

Yes, but it's less pronounced where I live at least. I think New York has possibly had some it's cultural identity subsumed by this, but that's is not entirely new. There are portions of the country where historical occurrences from much further in the past inform the mindset of the population (at least a little) to this day. Such as the civil war.

I still think it's worth point out though, as urging people to be aware of suspicious activity everywhere is at best pointless, and possibly counter-productive. Either you can't relax, or you get a false sense of security about situations where heightened awareness is actually useful (such as large gatherings of people). In that respect, it's security theater.

For illegal actions, they should be investigated, judged and if necessary, punished. Just as regular citizens would be for such actions. Being in law enforcement does not mean you get extra slack when violating a law, it means you enforce the law. But if a police officer violates the law, they diminished the rule and respect for the law.

> the evidence is discarded, giving them a strong incentive to follow the rules.

I don't think that is a strong incentive at all. Such absurd exception from law enforcement is so advantageous to the criminal elements in the police and the government that they will use it to their advantage. A situation where one part of government is allowed to violate the law by another part of government with no law enforcement action means the checks and balances aren't working.
Well, Curiosity is huge and at that point needed a power source that wasn't solar. I really am not buying that these are political decisions. I think there's more emphasis on solar and less RTG in some scenarios because everyone is worried about the plutonium situation. No use wasting plutonium on missions that frankly just don't need it.

While I don't have time right now to actually go and count the number of distinct people involved, that's a lot of hands that have touched that source file over the years. And this view's only showing the changes that make up the current version of that file-- there are authors not credited there because their code has since been overwritten or edited by someone else.

>First it was component internal state

You won’t find any place in React docs that claims internal state is harmful. There are some guides claiming that but this is not the official position (and I say this as author of Redux and a member of React team). We use state a lot at Facebook, and it’s a large part of what makes React useful.

>next thing will be the lifecycle methods.

Lifecycle methods are also fine. Sure, it’s best when there aren’t too many and they don’t do too much, but it’s a supported feature for a reason. It is occasionally super useful. They aren’t going away.

>React components will then boil down to pure render functions. React will then be replaced by simpler VirtualDOM implementation.

This is an explicit non-goal of React. We think stateful components with lifecycle methods are very useful. If you don’t agree, however, React is indeed not the best choice for you, as it does too much.

I’ve read a lot of misconceptions around React so I plan to put up “Design Goals” document in the repo so people can get a better idea of the direction that we’re moving into, and why.

4 Ways That Automated Testing Changed My Business
Best. release notes. ever. :)
sometimes the eye roll isnt directed at the person asking the question, but instead more of a "ive answered this question 10 times this week, if i could pull everyones attention for 5 minutes, no one would ever need to ask it again."

but instead employees refuse to read all-employees emails from IT, and upper management does not choose to schedule time for all hands training/meetings. in this scenario the eye roll is directed towards management for not fixing the training issue at a higher level in the company. a once a month hour long training session might fix hundreds of hours of helpdesk backlog. but that would cost money because people wouldnt be working.

or maybe the eye roll is directed at the employee who deleted the bulk-email solution, unread, that was sent out hours,days,weeks,months before they asked the question.

> What is the definition of a large hotel-like operation exactly?

No idea, but I'm thinking more of an absentee operator model with lots of rooms and properties. What your friend is doing is probably too small to impact the rental market, but in aggregate could be an issue if many were doing it. It's easy for me to say that I don't mind that sort of thing since I own a home and people like your friend would give me additional choices when I go on vacation, but the immediate community may think differently and I think that's where it needs to be decided. It's why I'm really questioning Federal regulation and involvement of a local issue.

Taking it to an extreme, look at a place like San Francisco. Someone there doing what your friend does would be impactful, yet the city itself won't permit enough new construction to solve the supply issue. Regulating AirBNB doesn't solve much there, and the city itself won't allow a solution to the supply issue. By regulating AirBNB, the city itself is actually taking additional adverse action on the supply issue rather than doing anything to mitigate - but that's their choice, their voters, their city. It's not my place to sit here in Maine and tell you that's wrong, but that is essentially what a Federal regulator does by proxy.
Not terribly uncommon in nonprofits either -- Often times they're on overlapping terms (3/4/5 year schedules) that occasionally coincide to term-off half the board at once. That's another difference I've noticed actually, many nonprofits have specific terms for their BOD whereas most Corps I've seen have open-ended commitments.
I think it has a more obvious problem. No one will be updating those copies even if they will be released once. It's simply a mess to manage.
The definition of thoughtcrime is that it is punishable to think something. There is not a single German law that punishes a thought (if you found one, please cite immediately because every German citizen can appeal in the Federal Constitutional Court against it). There is one thing that you as a US citizen might never have heard of but is essential to German law: the "Erheblichkeitsschwelle" - meaning that a crime is only punishable if it has an significant effect (e.g. damage). A thoughtcrime can by definition not have an significant effect because it does not realize an action or forbearance.

Most people in this discussion seem not to know this, so you see that what these people (whose homes got raided) must have had a effect on the real world to be punishable.

Furthermore, in Germany if you get charged with something at first there is an investigation by the police. The result is handed over to the prosecutor who decides if there is going to be prosecution (first hurdle), then it is going to court. The judge first decides if the prosecution is even accepted(!!!) (second hurdle) and THEN there is a trial (third hurdle). So it is not like these people are put in jail just because there is an investigation.

I am seriously baffled by the comments that lack significant knowledge of that the hell this news mean.
A) Paywalled link is paywalled.

B) Yet another "Oh no, what if companies had to deal with the labor market as if it were actually competitive?" article.

Yes, under a Universal Basic Income a lot of jobs suddenly have to compete to make their jobs appealing and/or help retention versus turn-over rates. Companies have a captive "market" right now that clearly works to their advantage. UBI would introduce a lot more liquidity into that market. That should be a good thing for the labor market to make it actually competitive.

There will definitely be a shake up in how companies deal with especially "wage slave" jobs: it might take re-incentivizing them, it might take rethinking those jobs from the ground up, it might require not taking "minimum wage" effort for granted. It's a paradigm shift, but maybe a much needed one.

ZRTP is a key agreement protocol. It sets the key for SRTP, which is ultimately responsible for securing the RTP payload. SRTP keys can also be set by the signaling server, but then the encryption is not end to end. There's another protocol called SDP to handle this

Signal does use ZRTP. It just doesn't use SIP. ZRTP is currently the best choice for voice.
This wouldn't solve that problem either. The way around it would be to make a look-alike module that replaces the current driving system entirely (hardware and all) and lets you swap them around during license checks. It'd also impede legitimate updates from the manufacturer, and violate laws that many states have that require that cars be fixable by non-dealer mechanics.

Broken windows, threats, and detention: Is whistleblowing worth it?
"music:
* the Major Scale,
* the Standard Chord Dictionary, and
* the difference in feeling between the Major and Minor Triads. "

Doesn't this already carry a ton of biases in that these are largely constructs of Western music? Certain pieces are based on physics, an octave is a doubling of frequency and the way a major chord fits together to some degree is a constructive interference. I studied music performance and compsci and its amazing to me how much magic and mysticism the music schools believe in. It was also pretty eye opening to see how much they believed that western music was the center of the human sound intersection world. It wasn't until taking a world music class that you realize how myopic even these researchers can be.
Cool. Always curious!
> I'm talking about the car's ethical choices in crashes, not the ethics of the programmers.

There is no practical difference. Computers do what we tell them to do, whether what I tell it to do has a conditional in code (the computer chooses), or instead always chooses one option because I left that condition out is a completely irrelevant distinction.
