> CDs had a big problem with mastering.

You are correct. Lots of the early releases once the goldrush started still had their RIAA equalization on them (aka "shovelware"). Even those that used original sources simply didn't sound all that good because of the mastering engineer's inexperience (first release of The Wall, I'm looking at you). There were still gems made though, like Brothers in Arms

Because of the loudness war, I've started looking for earlier releases on discogs.com. Anything listed as "Remastered" is viewed with suspicion.

I don't know why you think your constitutional rights disappear outside the geographic US. That is not the case. Constitutional rights protect citizens from our government regardless of their physical location. Indeed, geography was not a part of the Obama administration's justification.

As for your other point, self defense is a long established affirmative defense for murder, yes. However that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

If the government has a case to kill a citizen, that case needs to be made in court and evaluated by a jury of peers.
> Please refrain from eating shark, puffin or whales. The only reason why we are still killing endangered species is solely tourism. The local population does not eat them. Please try lamb soup instead. Or one of the amazing Iceland hotdogs.

I don't know where you get the idea that Icelandic people don't eat these things. Admittedly puffin is not a very common dish, but whale meat is consumed by Icelandic people, and shark meat also has some following.

My friend's company in Iceland invited their employees to dinner a few weeks ago. The menu? Hrefnukjöt (minke whale meat).
I can respect that... however, sometimes it's not worth fighting... you can export your bugs, content, etc from github, and import into self-hosted gitlab, or other options if so desired. Then you lose the community aspect, but it's not exactly hindered.

I just don't see GH turning into SourceForge. I know it can happen, doesn't mean it will, and if they (GH) ever head down that path, people will exodus.
"Trade prevents war" was everyone's diplomatic policy for a while. Until WWI.
This is absolutely fantastic!

I recently taught some "intro to web design / development" classes to college students (mostly designers, so coming to it more from a creative perspective as opposed to "coders at heart"), and this is the "textbook" I wish I had had then! The order that concepts are introduced is perfect, and I think the decisions made about what to explain vs. what to ignore are spot on.

When I got to the part with hr and br tags, I was thinking to myself "tsk tsk, the closing slashes are unnecessary"... then the next paragraph explains how they're unnecessary but the rationale for using them is a good idea (in the context of learning).

I also very much appreciate that it's strictly HTML and CSS and doesn't start off with all the extra mental overhead of build tools, compiled languages, server setups, etc.

Really well done!
Ambiguous, I would say.

No, Obama simply wanted to shift from invasion to engagement.

Trump is purely an anti-establishment impulse (lubricated by racism, sexism, etc). To claim it's a reaction against Obama is to claim (ludicrously) that Obama == establishment.

Mini Discs use a different process than burnable cds. I think its more robust, but I can't verify. My 20 (yikes) year old minidiscs all work fine, when I dug them out of storage and tried them.

Tapes can go too. Depending on the binder the tapes have to be baked to restore them. (Video and audio tapes may suffer from this).

When CDs came out people really liked them. They sounded great and didn't involve the care needed with records or tapes (cleaning records and tape pinch rollers... ug). You could skip to any track without flipping it over. Minidiscs came out many years after cds.
Records probably are the most archival since its music in physical form.
Supposedly the reason being analysed is his South Indian name ' Sidd Bikkannavar ' ; I'm curious to know the story behind his name being a South Indian myself. The part of the name 'annavar' is generally found in interior villages being associated with village gods but I have never come across anyone named this way, perhaps it was 'Siddarth' which got shortened to Sidd.
I agree with your first sentence, but I don't think that's what the article was saying. (Or at the very least, it was poorly written enough such that that did not come across.)

I had never understood how imaginary numbers had any bearing on physics (probably because I'd never been taught). But lately I've thinking about how all mathematics must have some natural physical equivalent or relation. E.g. how does multiplication happen in nature.. what does it mean really to multiply something?...how does this happen in nature? For the most part, we take these things as facts and learn the mechanics, but in physics, it seems to me, you really need to understand how these algebraic interpretations translate into physical realities (also, perhaps sort of obvious for everyone reads HN). For someone who enjoys discovering these perhaps obvious things later in life, it's clear how mathematicians and physicists could clearly come to the same mathematical conclusions from completely opposite vectors.. I guess this probably happens all the time.
Annoying nerd pedantry: It's only sort of doing TOTP (Yubikeys don't have batteries, so need a software client to provide the clock), and on a slack with almost 300 crypto nerds in it, I don't know any of them that use the Y4 for TOTP (I'm preparing myself to be surprised in a minute when someone there reads this). TOTP is something you do on your phone.

What do you mean by 'finite proofs'?

In cases where the set of all possible examples is finite, I can see this trick working. Maybe a similar approach still works when all possible examples are enumerable or even recursively enumerable.

None of these hold for the intermediate value theorem on the real number line though.

In the late 90s/early 2000s I couldn't wait to hardwire the 'net into my brain.

Okay, this makes more sense. The problem is that the spillways will fail in the sense that the downstream capacity cannot handle the volume of flow, so will flood those regions, as well as possibly flood areas not typically even near water as it carves its own paths.

In Lie theory, given a Lie group, there's a general notion of an "exponential function", which maps elements in the tangent space to the identity to "full" elements of the group.

In this case, our group is the unit circle in the complex plane. This is not circular logic, by the way. If a, b are complex numbers on this circle, then |a| = |b| = 1 and so |ab| = |a||b| = 1.

The identity of the group is the complex number 1 (with plane coordinates (1,0)). So the tangent space to the identity is the vertical line 1 + it, for t a real-valued parameter. In two-dimensional coordinates, that expression looks like (1,0) + t * (0,1).

(To be completely precise, the tangent space is a vector space, not a line displaced from the origin. In particular, the tangent space must contain a zero vector.)

If v is an element of this tangent space, then in Lie theory the exponential of v, exp(v), is defined to be g(1), where g is the unique geodesic on the circle (passing through the identity element 1) whose velocity at time 0 is v.

Visually, this is sort of like taking the tangent vector v = ti, placing its base at 1, then wrapping it around the circle and marking where its endpoint ends up at. If the vector is v = pi*i, then it has length pi, so it will end up demarcating an arc length of pi on the circle. Since we're working with the unit circle, this takes us straight to (-1,0).

I'm still leaving a lot out, of course -- most importantly why this notion of exponential has anything to do with the ordinary one.
I think we must be looking at different scales, and I'm probably mixing up terms and not making myself very clear.

Evolution defaults to aggression as that is how it squeezes out fitness, and cooperative behavior is continually at odds with that and only seems to survive on one level up every so often, where evolution just starts treating it as giant agents anyway and the cycle starts again at a higher level. Similarly, we humans still have countries and borders and are only cooperating one level up. Cooperation is still merely being used as a survival tool, rather than an end in itself.

I.e., two people working together are working against another two people, those people if they somehow manage to combine are working against another collective, multiple collectives may combine and then work against other collective, etc... such developments may potentially be worse than just individuals fighting each other.

Similar to the idea that in a first contact situation, there may be an advantage in shooting first, and that often also implies only one iteration. I think shooting first is the default, and needs to be actively fought against.

Cooperation is not the default or preferred state for evolution, even though it's more efficient. To get there, it takes a lot of suffering and bloodshed. A few thousand years AI-caused suffering before it figures out that cooperating is useful more than one level up (if it ever does, as humans have failed so far) is not really what I have in mind when I talk about cooperative ethics. Cooperative ethics should be fundamental, not derived from short-term RoI computed in the moment.

The Maclaurin trick is what I'd call the "standard proof", and I think it's the source of a lot of the lack of intuition surrounding e^i... It's exactly what you call it, a "trick", where you prove two rabbits are identical by transforming them both into an infinite number of hats.

On the one hand, it's all sound logic and algebra, but on the other hand, I certainly don't blame Randall Munroe for seeing that proof in high school and going on to say "I have never been totally satisfied by the explanations for why e to the ix gives a sinusoidal wave."[0]

>the lines you meant as absurd will be proudly paraded by the same people you were mocking

You can cite centuries old examples of this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankee_Doodle#Early_versions

>Traditions place its origin in a pre-Revolutionary War song originally sung by British military officers to mock the disheveled, disorganized colonial "Yankees" with whom they served in the French and Indian War, apparently written c. 1755 by British Army surgeon Dr. Richard Shuckburgh while campaigning in upper New York.[13] The British troops sang it to make fun of their stereotype of the American soldier as a Yankee simpleton who thought that he was stylish if he simply stuck a feather in his cap.[1]
> The Russian point of view is that they were stopping an ethnic cleansing right on their border, before it could get too far. It's not a crazy point of view

No, it's not crazy, it's just pure propaganda. 25% of Georgian Ossetians lived (and continue to live) outside of South Ossetia[1]. Not to mention that the Russians were happy to allow the _real_ ethnic cleansing of Georgians to happen after their invasion[2]. And the Ossetian militia had been shelling Georgian villages before it all happened[3] (most probably, with weapons provided by Russia).

>I think that one's home computers can probably handle the load of searching all of one's own data.

You seem to be implying that I have one computer at home. I mostly use the computer in my pocket, but sometimes I use "my" computer in "My office" at home. Sometimes I use "my wife's computer". Many people I know have a computer attached to their tv. I'm looking into putting a computer in my garage. Someday I'm likely to get a laptop or tablet computer for travel (I've had these in the past).

We need to get off the mindset of one computer per person - it was never really true, but for the average person today it is less true.

> I don't know for certain, but I'd guess WOW does the same thing Norwegian does: hiring staff on short-term contracts from places where labor is cheap (IIRC Norwegian hires its flight-deck crews from Estonia and cabin attendants from Thailand) in order to get low wages and avoid the overhead of full-time employment, registering most business operations in places like Ireland with favorable tax situations, and then ensuring most flights pass through at least one second-tier airport with low fees.

Every time I've flown a WOW air flight, the attendants were Icelandic. So I don't think that's true.

Immigration is keeping health care affordable in Germany and probably a bunch of other European countries. Until the Brexit, cheap foreign labor helped keep prices low in the UK.

The USA don't have a problem with immigrants - they have a problem with the runaway corruption of their political leaders. Corporate lobbyists get to write laws for representatives to rubber stamp. The reason the same drugs cost 5x more in the US than in Canada has nothing to do with immigrants.

I often find bathrooms that were around before ADA [0], and have since been retrofitted, have the worst designs. That's why I try to use the handy-capable stalls, or "suites" as I call them, whenever I have a chance.

Most newer bathroom designs seem sane to me, since they were designed with ADA compliance in mind. Except for airport bathrooms for some reason, where you have to cram yourself and your luggage into a stall that's the same size as any other stall outside of the airport.
