I'm kind of late to the game in this thread, but my thought about theory is that it should start with physiology and technology. At each level we're reminded that we study the aspects of music that people have already invented, and that we may overlook a lot of important things, such as rhythm.

Physiology: Some of this may be speculative, but it seems likely that "harmonious" intervals, that have a superposition of harmonics, have a physiological effect.

Technology: The 12 tone scale could be described as a technology for tuning an instrument with harmonious intervals. Temperament is a technology for solving the problems of tuning primarily keyboard instruments.

Naturally, math is involved in understanding these things, as with many areas of science and technology.

I would talk about a handful of widely used instruments, such as keyboards, strings, winds, guitars, and drums.

Then you can begin to talk about scales, chords, melody, form, and so forth.
That math doesn't seem right. 100M devices sending 10Mbps is 1,000,000,000Mbps = 1,000Tbps, not 1GB/s.

For an attack of 1.2Tbps, you only need 120k devices at 10Mbps.

The 10b are crops that are genetically altered to resist glyphosate. If glyphosate was banned, then they couldn't sell these crops anymore. Their profits are directly related to glyphosate.
This seems desirable from the perspective of NYC renters. Supply will shift from the hotel market to the long term rental market which should lower rent prices.
I have a pair of the MPOW Magneto's (https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Headphones-Cancelling-...). I found them while looking for an alternative to the JayBird BlueBuds my girlfriend has (which are like $120). The Magneto's have a 6-8 hour battery life (and standby time is days). Bluetooth 4.1. Apt-X codec for higher quality audio. Active noise cancellation. Nifty magnet feature which allows you to pick up calls and ware it around your neck without loosing it. If you're looking for a feature rich pair of Bluetooth headphones that have a decent battery life you honestly can't beat MPOW for the price.
Never, really, because each company would only see my resume once, and they're getting my resume through expected channels.

I'm a pro. I'm an experienced programmer, amateur photographer, edit home videos a lot and do a bunch of computationally expensive tasks on my workstation.

Whilst I'd like to have the absolute latest, cutting edge GPU from AMD/NVIDIA I also appreciate that sometimes last gen parts are cheaper, more reliable (having benefitted from refinement over the manufacturing run) and sometimes cooler running than what's new. I use a Mac (for the forseeable) because I'm quite happy to spend quite a bit extra on form and function over just absolute function.

I'm not the only one, just look at Apple's bottom line.

I think what Microsoft are doing here are going after Apple's (previously) target market, the so called pro user. Windows has typically been a value proposition so it will take them time and clearly ruffle the feathers of those who've built their own PCs and put Windows on top (I for one do that on my gaming PC).

This is not a gaming PC. It's aimed at the iMac crowd. Apple's alienating a lot of professionals who value form and function by focusing on purely form and I think props should go to Microsoft for being the only company (as far as I can see) who is not copying Apple and producing some incredibly innovative new form factors in a very staid sector - the pro workstation.
PHP's functions are interesting. You can always use variables as functions, but the reverse isn't true. So, `$foo()` is fine, as is `bar($foo)`, but you can't do `$foo(bar)` or `baz(bar)`.

> With online voting, the husband or wife can force the other to vote in front of them

For what it's worth my ex-wife slightly reprimanded me after a general election some time ago because I hadn't told her with whom I was voting for, because she would have cast the same vote as me.

On the electioneering thing I have no strong opinion. Just wanting to say that if a person's vote can be so easily influenced by a "volunteer hyping up" someone on the street then maybe, just maybe, that person's vote (and lot of other persons' votes) does (do) not accurately represent la "volonté générale", to quote Rousseau, meaning that universal voting might not result in what's actually best for the people.

I think the instability you're describing is only a result of human nature: aggression is by far the most universally motivating factor because everybody can get behind some camp and feel righteous. This means people can get enormously pumped up to achieve some goal (destroying the bad guys). This is much, much harder with intellectual factors because people need to understand justifications and consequences far more complicated than "they hit us, so we have to hit them in order to {grow,feed,protect,whatev}".

Latest example: Why go to a different planet? Personally, just for the heck of it. The financial problem is entirely artificial, because much larger sums than what Musk is talking about are being played with all the time. This amount of money could be in anybody's pocket tomorrow should the right people feel so inclined (say a couple very wealthy persons taking a fancy). I want to go for the heck of it because fascinating things can, and most probably will, come out of it. What exactly, I have no idea. It's the simple act of doing something new because, why not? What else is there to do except keep bashing each others' heads in?

This is extremely hard to convey to somebody who wasn't born with, wasn't taught, or whose sense of adventure was ripped out in the course of growing up.

My point is, humanity's many civilizations' instability caused by war is an artifact of evolution. Throughout mankind's history, bashing your foe's head in was the best way to survive, and humanity has yet to overcome this rather primitive and impulsive behaviour.

On a side note, not every species survives by war, but by symbiosis.
I'd guess very very low, but I'm not sure. I think they are barging ahead with a wireless future, evidenced by the lack of headphone port on iPhone7 and iPhone7+. If they drop the AirPods that were supposed to make the iPhone 7 such a pleasure to use, they're abandoning a major selling point from their most recent keynote.
Stress can cause growth (like when you exercise) and stress can be toxic(like when you're burned out). The problem with the study referenced in the video is that the people who don't see stress as bad likely aren't experiencing any negative physiological effects so obviously wouldn't die at the same rate as those who hold the opposing belief and experienced the negative physiological effects traditionally correlated with stress.
Amost (or actually) going bankrupt is normal (or at least, not unusual) for entrepreneurs.
I have a pretty substantial amount of storage for things I have collected over the years. Podcasts, YouTube videos, Gifs even stuff from back when Flash animations were popular. All organized and curated. Because it's private I don't really have to worry about copyright laws as well. 6 disks in a raid 10 array with 2 hot spares. It's rather cumbersome now but hopefully the tech will get good enough to be able to maintain itself for a few hundred years before I die. I know some of that stuff will be lost to time, some of it you already can't find online. I call it the ark. I hope some day down the road I can blow some historians mind.

Perhaps, long from now, they might quote internet comments from sites like HN like we quote the Greek philosophers. "cmdrfred the elder once said...". I should make a habit of ripping the front page or so and comments for the ark.

Just get a clip-on BT receiver and use cheap wired headphones. I sweat a LOT and many options e.g. Apple earpods stay in my ear and have not died due to sweat yet after years of workouts (they die for other reasons like me stepping on them).

I picked a random weekend in November. There are 228 hotels listed on Orbitz for < $125/night. Midtown, Chelsea, Times Square, etc. Are people only picking the one single hotel right across the street from where they need to be and extrapolating from that?
> I can't blame the visitors, because they were here for a cheap holiday and knew no better. And the people who rented out their flat are really nice (I'm otherwise on good terms with them). So it's hard to blame anyone but Airbnb and their business model.

I've driven just short of 45,000 miles this year -- over most of the country. And there are easily 30 trump signs for every hillary sign.

The hillary "support" is mostly fake. Just like the fake Carter support in '80.

You'll see.
I have these - not bad if you're mostly sitting but if you walk around with them, they move around in your ear resulting in booming noises.
current voting systems actually work very well with zero-trust.

- You enter into the voting booth with your ballot and cross off your preferred candidate or party. No trust needed.

- You fold it together and put it into a ballot box. No trust needed.

- The ballot box is sealed and driven to a counting station. This is done under supervision of all stakeholders, meaning that cheating is extremely hard because your political adversary is present.

- The ballot boxes are unsealed and the votes are counted. Note that the votes are counted by all stake holders (typically one or more people from each party) making it hard to cheat.

- The final vote is passed on.

None of the above steps require trust in any one person or entity, and the probability of cheating (if the procedure is done correctly) is quite low. If there is some anomaly the votes are saved so they can be counted again.
It's one thing if a handful of students go overboard and start doing silly things. But ultimately it's a reflection on the administration if they allow flagrantly abusive antics like these to carry on for much longer.
Absolutely agree, but convenience does not trump security, verifiability etc. In the example you gave, mail-in ballots were primarily introduced as an exception to the rule, in order to increase participation. They are not a wholesale replacement for ballot-box voting.

I'm bullish too, but any comparisons to Facebook are lazy. Snapchat and Facebook are completely orthogonal (the closer competition is Instagram, owned by FB, and Snapchat, but even then I would argue it is lazy to say they are direct competitors, ignoring the Instagram Stories product).

For better or worse Facebook is a piece of social infrastructure and utility. Everyone has Facebook. All the groups I know of are organized through Facebook. All of the events. And so on.

Almost all of these things benefited me as a consumer and allowed normal people to get an income flow.

You're asking the wrong question. You should ask why AirBnB posed such an existential risk to hotels in the first place.
I disagree. I work in a lab (biology), and I listen to podcasts, books, and music for a large part of most days. I currently use wired headphones, but the cord tugs at them all day. In addition, wires get caught. Just today, I was stooping down to put something on the bottom shelf of a freezer, and when I started to stand up, the cord caught on my knee and yanked the headphone right off my ear. This kind of thing happens to me daily.

If there were a good, long-lasting (battery-wise), decent sounding pair of headphones, I'd gladly jump on board.
Pricey? They are by far the least expensive wireless 2-ear headphones you can buy outside of some no-name alibaba ones with 1-2 hour battery life. On top of the price, you're getting almost 2x the battery life of the Samsungs, seamless multi-device paring, beam-forming microphones aided by motion sensors to only turn on when your jaw is moving, etc etc...

With all due respect, that is the standpoint of a cynic or perhaps nihilist. Which is totally fine, people should have the right to not care about stuff without being judged for it.

However, if everyone was a perfect nihilist, you wouldn't have cheap old cars to drive because nobody would have made cars. You wouldn't have a cell phone, and especially a data connection, if not for the space program. And so on.

So while I don't think it's a problem if some people take your viewpoint, I think it's a problem when everyone does. Somebody has to care enough about the environment to stop rampant capitalism from destroying it so that we have a planet to live on 50 years from now (electric cars, improved public transit.) Someone has to care enough to get humans off the planet so that when it is inevitably destroyed (asteroid, nuclear war, virus, overpopulation) the human race can continue elsewhere.

By the way, slightly out of topic but I was very frustrated with a Cloudflare sales guy who reached out to my customer during the outage and told him that we should switch to Cloudflare to be protected from DDOS.

It comes a bit as gloating in the face of the attack on Dyn and there's no reason to believe that Cloudflare's DNS would fare any better.
> It's a 0-5% margin business for the foreseeable future; and best-case scaled scenarios it's a 10% margin business with huge capex. Google shouldn't be interested in anything with less than a 20% margin at scale. So from a portfolio standpoint, it was a stupid bet.

I know that's standard financial thinking, because a business is assumed to be able to absorb pretty much any amount of capital and invest it at a rate of it's core rate, which for Google is indeed 20%. However, obviously, Google cannot do that. It can invest maybe 10-15 billion, but no more (presumably unless you want to make Google a low-margin business). So that doesn't appear to be true.

Is it better for Google to "invest" their 80 billion or so at 3% in liquid assets versus investing it in a 10% margin business ? Here's the thing: they'll make more profit with the money in Fiber than they'll make with the money in bonds and stocks. Definitely. If fiber provides a 10% return on investment, definitely.

Sadly I know: for the GOOG and GOOGL stock prices, yes it is a better idea to keep cash on the sidelines, as then you get the benefit of investors assuming Google can deploy cash at 20%, despite it being obviously wrong. But it offends my sense of efficiency.
So, the complaint has merit then.
The PowerBeats have the same W1 chip, but they don't have the same motion sensors, beam forming mice, IR sensors, and other hardware and software that goes in to making the EarPods. There's a lot of software involved in tweaking all of that stuff that goes way beyond the W1 chip.

> You don't see any merit to beam-forming microphones for noise cancellation, seamless paring experience, Siri access, other-earphone awareness, or lack of tangled wires

I honestly cannot. They're impressive solutions to problems Apple have created for themselves.

Personally, I don't use the built-in microphones in headphones. If I'm speaking to someone, I either hold the phone to my ear, or use speaker phone.

Taking two seconds to plug my wired headphones into my device is a pretty "seamless pairing experience", and I can use them with whatever device I please, unlike the AirPods.

My wired headphones don't need to be "aware" of each other, because they are connected to each other.

I spend about ten seconds each day ensuring my headphone cable isn't tangled.

> You don't remember how iconic the white earbuds have been as a status symbol?

Where I'm from, white earbuds have only ever been: a) an invitation to thieves looking to steal the device they're connected to; b) a sign that someone doesn't care about audio quality.

> [...] that takes a total disconnection from headphones as a category of device, and I'm not willing to believe that's true.

On the contrary, I think the problem is that I would actually consider a headphone purchase, rather than blindly buying something like the AirPods.
I'm sympathetic to that concern, but I've heard reporters say they don't really fall out without the cord tugging at them.
> I would love it if they were really optimizing anything about iTunes.

Indeed. iTunes has become so bad I bit the bullet and signed up for Roon - despite its eye watering price. It's a vastly better (and of course in some other ways inferior) alternative.

One thing which I like about Roon and indeed a lot of 3rd party software from smaller companies is that I can talk to the devs and product managers on the community forums and find out where the product is headed or make suggestions and get feedback.

As far as iTunes goes, I have no idea where in the hell it's going. It went from a music manager to an eBooks platform, an App Store and now a Spotify clone.

Good time to be a software company specialising in catering to the disgruntled user who wants something a little more sophisticated than what Apple's currently selling.

Yes, this.

As for the Dell's they plateaued then weren't as cutting edge any more.

I used to lust after Dell's top of the range Precision laptop, but not any more.

Edit: That said, I just took a look at the specs of their latest offering, the Precision 7000. They seem to have stepped their game up a bit since I last looked. You can get a 4K display now.
Here's one thing to keep in mind. They both end up doing the same thing, but it's more obvious that the Where implementation is not doing anything subtly different from what you think at first glance.

Without reading the for implementation carefully it's much harder to verify:

* You're looping from start to finish
* Over each element
* You're only adding the items to the new list that match the conditions.

That all said, I think this swap is only a good idea if the thing you're swapping with is commonly used. Which admittedly is a chicken-and-egg problem, but does largely exclude non-library function transformations or one-off transformations.
I've been trying to get Time Warner Cable for 7 years now. The fiber runs on my street, but they refuse to connect my house and won't give a real reason why. Living in the middle of San Antonio, TX, I rely on tethering and the hope that T-Mobile doesn't terminate my line for going 20 times over the 10 GB limit. While the Fiber influence is nice, it's not doing a vast amount for last mile access.

I think a case could be made that the Archive should be the reference by default for citations -- that is, when a URL is cited, the Archive's snapshot API is triggered, and the archive URL is used as the direct link with the original URL being the "backup". Sites/pages change so much that it's more helpful to point the average user to what a page looked like when the reference was accessed and included. It may rob the original URL some traffic, but Wikipedia isn't meant to be a link-aggregator for external content.

The obvious roadblocks are:

- Websites, even content-focused ones, can be so complicated in terms of JS that the Archive might not capture it accurately.

- The Archive's policy is to honor robots.txt and other no-archive directives.
Well I'm sure those are the reasons why Google pass on :)

I don't know why you'd use Material Design for a website. I thought that the purpose of Material Design was to provide a common design language for Android Apps, like the Apple Design Guidelines do for iOS apps. Moreover, Material Design, with its simple platonic shapes and solid colors, seems really targeted towards mobile use. Simple shapes and solid colors can be easily implemented with vector graphics, which means that it's easy to render them in a resolution-independent fashion.

My criticisms of material design come from watching inexperienced users (e.g. my parents) attempt to interact with Google's Material Design apps. My dad refuses to upgrade his Android 4.0 HTC phone specifically to avoid the newer versions of Google Maps. He finds the gestures to be undiscoverable and doesn't like the fact that it takes two to three more swipes to access the same functionality. This is especially a problem if you're using the phone one-handed, while walking around or driving.
