> Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Kennedy are literally Hitler.

Clearly not. But neither are they the unambiguously virtuous "good guys" that Americans like to imagine that they are.

Let's stop taking everything to extremes. Will a Trump presidency lead to mass executions of civilians in gas chambers? Probably not. Will it lead to innocent people -- mainly Muslims and people with dark skin -- being deported, separated from their families, tortured, and killed? Very likely. Trump has explicitly promised to do all of these things, and I see no reason to doubt him on this. Do I think it will happen to me? Probably not, but that's only because I'm a rich white guy. But I take little comfort from that because once xenophobia takes root it tends to grow like kudzu. I'm a rich white guy, but I'm also Jewish, so there are absolutely some Trump supporters who would like to see me go back to where I came from along with the Muslims, the Mexicans, and the niggers. The best way to keep those people out of power is to keep Trump out of power. And if pointing out the parallels between Trump and Hitler helps to do that then Godwin be damned. Sometimes the Nazi shoe fits.

[UPDATE:] FWIW, it's not just me making this argument:

I stand by my assertion — the idea that an IP address can have "reputation" is fundamentally flawed. The SMTP example that you cite is actually a good one: the whole reason why we started assigning "reputation" to IP addresses is because we could not be bothered to improve SMTP over the last 40 years or so and it still assumes we live in a world of trust.

CloudFlare (and everyone else for that matter) should stop assigning "reputation" to IP addresses. An IP address is a network location, think of it as a temporary storage box which could be occupied by anyone and anything. We should move beyond coloring boxes.

Because supporting lossless audio streaming is as useful as supporting TIFF images or UTF-32 text encoding. Nice to add to the spec sheet; mostly useless in a practical setting.

The only purpose that comes to mind for delivering lossless audio within a web page is to build, somewhat ironically, a lossy codec comparison tool which would in turn demonstrate why lossless audio isn't necessary.
That isn't true. Most crimes require mens rea of some kind. This can include intent (I'm going to kill that guy with this brick), recklessness (I'm going to toss this brick out the window, who cares if it hits anyone), negligence (I'm going to put this teetering pile of bricks on the windowsill over a busy street, hope nobody knocks it over), and some others.

This is true of all kinds of common crimes. If you accidentally enter the wrong house, it's not trespassing. If you accidentally pick up your friend's phone instead of your own, it's not theft. If you get in your car and drive away without realizing a strange kid had gotten into the back seat, it's not kidnapping. These are all acts that only become crimes if the person doing them has a "guilty mind".

"Ignorance of the law is no defense" does not speak to intent or mens rea at all. Mens rea is "officer, I hit that guy with my car because I hit a patch of black ice and skidded out of control". An attempted ignorance defense is "I didn't know it was against the law to hit someone with my car." Similarly, "I didn't know this material was classified" and "I didn't know it was illegal to distribute classified material" are very different arguments.
As you might have noticed, I didn't write "our grandchildren won't live", just that they "won't have a planet to live on". I'm sure they will adapt. It's just that they won't be able to experience the same green planet that we do.

No. You are 100% wrong.

Not believing that there is any sound economic principle to validate your position, I checked your reference:

Your reference says nothing other than a few, very basic things about how the Fed is structured. It says absolutely nothing about the difference between 'raising debt + open market bond purchases' (how the fed does it) - vs. the hyperinflationairy issues related to governments that influence their central banks and basically print money.

So not only are you wrong - but your borderline lying by posting references that have nothing to do with anything.

In summary: aside from taxation, the US government generally can only raise money by issuing debt. They cannot print money willy nilly as they do in places like Brazil.
In all fairness ALAC is very similar to FLAC in its inner workings, but differs in arbitrary, minor ways that result in more complexity over FLAC (and of course, incompatibility) for little gain.

> You see this play out with every generation. I read an article recently that incredulously reported that Millenials - the car rejecting generation! - have started buying cars. Of course they have, because they're coming into the age where they get married, have kids and move to the suburbs.

European prospective: in most cities and towns it is not hard at all to have a family with kids and have no car. Many things are at walking distance and for the rest there is a widespread public transportation network.

The only people that _need_ cars are those living in rural areas or on the new suburbia-style boroughs born along secondary highways (new development of the last 50 years).
>First of all it makes it very hard for others to estimate your speed

In my experience, the more harrowing near misses with cars have been where they don't seem to be aware that I'm there, rather than that I'm not moving at the speed they expect. If they know that they can't accurately assess my speed, they'll most likely be more cautious.
So not only are you wrong - but your borderline lying by posting references that have nothing to do with anything.

I see. Nevermind.
You're right that you couldn't do a 'boot camp' style short course and land an EE job, but it's not a hard as you make out if you set your sights lower.

To give one example, let's say you want to start out by making guitar pedals. There's a healthy market for boutique guitar pedals, plenty of existing designs available online that you can modify when starting out, and when you're ready to start making designs from scratch you're looking at stuff you can understand with entry level electronics knowledge. Furthermore, there's room to grow as your knowledge improves (can get into DSPs, for example).
Since when? AFAIK they only invalidated his passport.
Naive response:

FBI can probably monitor both sides of those nodes (tap the data centre?) if they're in USA? So can't they monitor all the nodes clients, then do something like block returning traffic and look for timing or other meta data of the re-request from the command server?

Anyone tell me how reasonable that is?

Yes, groups that society consider to be trash or defective from the get go. Not "those people" who don't "deserve" such things to happen to them. The law enforcement response to opiods versus crack in the 80s shows us how society views these groups, and what the solution is (militarized police for one, "treatment" for another).
Flashing doesn't need to be on-off. Many bike lights now pulse - e.g. constant light of 700lm with pulse of 1500lm. twice a second.

Patterns are also common e.g. strip of 5 LEDs with 2 on at a time, sequence changes a few times a second.

Anecdotal, but in my experience pulsing lights signfificantly reduce SMIDSYs over solid lights along. (I ride around 2hrs a day, in the dark in winter months)

Even more effective than pulsing lights is helmet lights. When you scan the road you're creating moving light and much more likely to be seen. A quick glance at a motorist waiting at a T-junction to pull out and you've maximised your chances of having been seen.
One of my best friends died of an overdose a few years ago. His mother was informed in a horrible way.

The police called her and told her that her son had overdosed and was on the way to the hospital. In the middle of the call they all of a sudden say "actually, he's dead!" like it was nothing special. His mother of course screamed out loud, which made the police upset (they said "hey, it's not my fault" or something like that, I don't remember exactly).

I normally have great respect for the police but I think this was handled catastrophically. They showed very little sympathy.

Wow, an important talk was pulled because of this? There is a continuum of disagreeable statements and a corresponding continuum of appropriate responses. The response from the conference organizers was grossly disproportionate to Crockford's behavior which was clearly not malicious and probably not even deliberate. A reasonable alternative would have been to privately contact him and express concern about his past choice of words. Removing him outright is unfair to both Crockford and attendees who were looking forward to his talk.

Did he? (Asking seriously) All I have seen were allegations. And of those allegations, the ones that were looked into more closely turned out to be completely false.
I don't know.

I know there's a class of civic/legal philosophy that says that people should stick around and face the consequences of breaking unjust laws, even if the law is unjust.

I admit, despite hearing the position stated, I've never really been able to reconcile why this would be deemed a reasonable position at all.

Clearly it plays to the interests of the authorities enacting the unjust laws, who would want people to be within their grasp and thus punished when the law is broken. And it would be beneficial for such people to try to instill in the general populace, and the lawbreakers themselves, beliefs that they should just stick around and "get what's coming to them".

But as a general philosophy I admit it seems prima facie absurd to me. If you believe that a law is so unjust that its ok to break it, i really don't see how a reasonable person would expect that a perpetrator should hang around and be punished. Have the strategic option to choose to do so to further one's ends, sure. But a duty or expectation that one should be punished for breaking an unjust law...I just can't compute it.

People with a... err...i can't think of a more appropriate word apart from "hard-on", so forgive the vernacular...for authority, sure, i can understand and predict they would have such a position. But I wouldn't call that reasonable.

If anything, it sounds like a nice example for an intro into discussing Nietzchean master/slave morality, or even the Ted Kaczynski's concept of oversocialization :P

Your reference confirms the parent's interpretation as well as yours:

> During the braking phase, up to the time the landing radar locked onto the surface, the duty-cycle margin was over 15%. After the radar acquired, the extra computations involved in converting the body-referenced radar data to the navigation coordinate system lowered the margin to perhaps 13%. When a monitor display such as Verb 16 Noun 68 was added, the margin shrank again, to 10% or less. Buzz Aldrin was perceptive when he said after the second 1202 alarm, "It appears to come up when we have a 1668 up"[16].

> With a 10% margin and a 13% drain, the LGC simply did not have enough CPU time to perform all the functions that were required. Thanks to the flexibility of the Executive design — and quite unlike what would have happened with a boxcar structure — there was no collapse.

[...]

> Having a relatively low priority because of its size, SERVICER got last crack at the available computation time. With a negative time margin it was SERVICER that had not yet reached its conclusion when the next READACCS, running punctually, scheduled SERVICER again. Because it had not reached its end, the earlier SERVICER had not released its core set and VAC area — so the next time READACCS called FINDVAC to schedule SERVICER the Executive assigned a new core set and VAC area. That SERVICER also did not finish. After a short span of such operation the Executive exhausted its supply of core sets and/or VAC areas. When the next request was made the Executive, unable to comply, called BAILOUT with a 1201 or 1202 alarm code.

[...]

> The interesting effect of this train of events, during P63, was that the problem fixed itself. The software restart reconstructed only the most recent incarnation of the SERVICER job, and flushed the uncompleted SERVICER "stubs" that had accumulated. In addition, it terminated functions that had not been restart protected because they were not deemed critical — including the DELTAH monitor Verb 16 Noun 68. This is why, following the two alarms in P63, the display returned from Noun 68 to Noun 63.

[...]

> During P64 the situation was different. Added to the regular guidance equations was new processing that provided the capability to redesignate the landing site. With this addition, the essential software by itself left a duty-cycle margin of less than 10%. The alarms kept coming. There were three 1201 and 1202 alarms within 40 seconds. Each time, the software restart flushed the Executive queue but could not shed load.

> At MET 102:43:08, forestalling the next alarm, Armstrong switched the autopilot from AUTO to ATT HOLD mode, easing the computational burden, and then entered semi-manual mode P66, where the burden was still lighter. After 2 minutes and 20 seconds spent maneuvering in P66 without alarms, the LM landed.
You paint taking drugs as something every "kid" does and drugs like something innocuous, cocaine certainly is not.

If your daughter took cocaine it has probably a lot to do with your attitude towards drugs as a parent.

I volunteer with drugs addicts and drug areas. My work along with other 10 people or so is telling them how terrible drugs are and to offer alternatives(teach them a job, organize and create a community, make them stronger against those that will try to initiate kids, offering model or reference for dysfunctional families...).

Sometimes it is really really tough job as you have to remain strong in surreal situations. But in the end it is probably the most rewarding feeling you can experience in life when you see the people you helped to recover and even prosper in life.
A little poem (for fun) /r/Python
When I said "cheap," I meant in price. I'm averse to low-quality books, and would rather pay a few dollars more or hold out longer for a copy with clean pages and little wear. Especially highlighting is usually an immediate deal-breaker. Finding a fairly nice copy typically isn't a problem, though - low-price hardcover is often a more difficult request to meet.
The neuron fired not only (say) when the monkey reached for a peanut but also when it watched another monkey reach for a peanut!

These were dubbed "mirror neurons" or "monkey-see-monkey-do" neurons. This was an extraordinary observation because it implies that the neuron (or more accurately, the network which it is part of) was not only generating a highly specific command ("reach for the nut") but was capable of adopting another monkey's point of view. It was doing a sort of internal virtual reality simulation of the other monkeys action in order to figure out what he was "up to". It was, in short, a "mind-reading" neuron.

I don't really see how this follows- maybe the neurons are just recognising things that happened, like seeing a peanut being picked up. That doesn't require "adopting another monkey's point of view" or "figuring out what he was up to". It could just be the brain attempting to verify that the action happened, which is going to be seen regardless of who made it happen.

Ask HN: How to prepare for a leadership role?
I'm currently evaluating a Head of and a VP role.

I know for a while that my next step is not going to be a purely tech role. Tech leadership has been part of my work for a while now and I've been taking more responsibilities in that direction and enjoy them a lot.

Going with Head of or VP role would be a new step for me. And last thing I'd want is to become an example of Peter principle.

So what does make a good Head of Engineering or VP of Technology in a software company? What are the lessons you've learned? And what books are mandatory read?

Any advice is highly appreciated.

> have there been any significant developments in the lossless compression of audio since then?

One thing that is lacking in audio compression is the same thing as the difference between JPEG and MPEG - using past data to predict future data and only storing the difference.

Music has lots of repeating notes and passages. Isolating them (from other notes played at the same time), and only storing the slight change of how the note was played this time, vs last time should greatly increase compression ratios.

But I have not seen any audio compression that does this.

(Note this applies equally to lossless and lossy compression.)
