No, those work even with sine waves. What the piano tuner is talking about is timbre: overtones can be not-perfectly-in-tune with the fundamental.

Has to do with the thickness of the core windings, I think? Something to do with the string acting partly as a rigid rod, not just an idealized wire. I hear this also in electric bass strings with super-heavy core wires.

I've twice had the pleasure of fundraising in pre-YC SFBA. I admire and respect what Paul and Sam built. I viscerally appreciate it. But stuff like this makes YC extraordinarily difficult to defend. Not worth defending. It's table-flip upsetting.
Force everyone to wear the same shoe. All you get is a size choice (in both length and width).

That's how they solved it for windsurfing - just forced everyone to ride the same exact gear, no matter the weight of the athlete or how strong the wind is, even though normally these two factors are absolutely defining when you select which sail/board to ride.

The rule

“must not be constructed so as to give an athlete
any unfair additional assistance, including by the
incorporation of any technology which will give the
wearer any unfair advantage.”

doesn't make any sense. Of course shoes are slightly different, and so some are bound to be better than others. It's an unsolvable problem, unless you standardize the gear.

Poor choice of words then, it was deprecated and removed over the course of iOS 9 betas, with the plan to make a new system only available to "captive network apps" that could declare a specific list of SSIDs that they manage. Appears they backtracked though? I didn't see any recent info.

The Trump WH could be spun as some well thought out scrappy disruption of Politics as usual, which it is not.

It very much is a chaotic mess led by a massively narcissistic man-child and the cynical and dangerous people he seeks advice from. I am amazed at Sam Altman for providing anodyne quotes which almost seems like he admires the chaos that Trump is causing. The disruption is causing massive REAL damage to the US and its allies - exactly unlike a start-up that improves choices for customers - not destroys the market itself.
It is in no way true. It's dignifying Trump and his staff in ways that make it very hard to distinguish Altman from a supporter. The idea that Trump's success is in execution in any sense, let alone in the way a startup's is, is something you'd have a hard time selling in the pages of The National Review.
Please elaborate on what do you see wrong with sama's quote.

Are you upset that anyone had anything remotely positive to say about Trump?
He also talked quite openly in a piece for The New Yorker (1). While many people I know in the Bay Area thought "wow that's neat!" when I spoke to siblings and friends from other parts of the country, one person's exact response was "what the fuck is wrong with that person?" It was a long piece, but there was enough there where people could find things to like and dislike about him and Y Combinator in general. Sometimes I think people in Silicon Valley aren't aware of the microcosm they live in.

I'm reminded of this article by PG: http://www.paulgraham.com/wids.html

Also, in Silicon Valley, there a social convention of saying controversial, potentially wrong ideas for the sake of discussion. Maybe Sam is engaging in this, with caring that he's being interviewed for a major newspaper.
Furthermore, wouldn't Trump's want to weaken the FTC and repeal Net Neutrality kill off a significant number of startups?
Or perhaps that sort of visceral distaste towards anything conservative is just super biased.
He says they don't use user data without explicit permission and they generate the training data using "turking," which means paying people to classify things manually.

Against Donald Trump? The word "super" doesn't capture it. But don't just look at me. Before the election, Paul Graham said that if Trump won, he would join the resistance.

(You misleadingly edited your comment after I wrote my response. I would not agree that I have a visceral distaste of anything conservative. In fact, I think that's an accusation more accurately leveled against Donald Trump.)

You are (essentially) correct. The language itself is context-free, and therefore parse-able as a regular language. Looking up identifiers in symbol tables is part of the type checking phase of compilation. This is a pretty common misconception, that type constraints effect the parsing complexity of a language. Language type only relates to the process of building an abstract syntax tree from an input, not validating it.
And you seem like the last person who should make the all or nothing security fallacy. Just because fancy rootkits exist doesn't mean we shouldn't protect ourselves against the easy stuff. Isn't your argument basically either turn your threat mitigation up to 11 (nation state bad assery) or give up.
> The new bit is the battery and associated computer system/sensors. That's where I expect possible reliability issues.

Unlike mechanical systems, electronic systems are instrumented to the max, so Tesla can usually: (a) detect systematic issues, and (b) mitigate issues by software update to reduce stresses.
Agreed. It is rare for any political party to hold the White House for more than two terms.
> You're the CEO of Y Combinator. When you tell a New York Times reporter that Donald Trump is "the Silicon Valley President",

> What the hell is the matter with you?

You're completely overreacting to this and misrepresenting Sam's quote, which is this:

"Trump is the Silicon Valley candidate in every way except that the ideology is flipped,"

"He’s an outsider. He took on a system he thought was broken and then disregarded the rules, he got to know his users well and tested his product early and iterated rapidly. That’s the start-up playbook. That’s exactly what we tell our start-ups to do"

This seems like a pretty accurate assessment of events to me.
>It's table-flip upsetting.

Then it might be a good idea to cool down before engaging in comment.

Sam is providing a different perspective for looking at Trump's presidency, which he's made it clear he's not happy with.

That to me is an incredibly admirable action, and one which we could all benefit from trying out a little more often.

Doesn't mean anyone is endorsing anything. It's just a different look.

And that was an absurd, emotion-driven and wrong-headed statement. What resistance is he joining exactly.
Why shouldn't he be a source for it?
His comments on Trump were insightful and very far from an endorsement. Vilifying everyone tangentially associated with Trump failed spectacularly during the election. At this point it's just beating a dead horse without any particular goal in sight.

Sama realizes full well that he's speaking for all of YC, as a YC founder I'm glad he is. I agree with him here.
This is my thought. I LIKE to read clever code. Most often than not it teaches me something. Some neat way to do x. It teaches how to write terse code and I'm probably going to learn how to apply that to other areas of my code.

I would be worried if my code is being reviewed by somebody who doesn't appreciate clever code.

Now, clever is different than complex, or confusing code. Clever code is a neat way to do something. Complex and confusing code can be spotted immediately because it does one or many of the following things:

- Functions get too nested

- Tries to do too much

- Function is too long

- Function is not broken into logical parts

- Confusing parts don't have their own function

- Long conditionals

- Non descriptive variable names

- Modifies state all over the place

And I could go on. Those are the things I would watch out for and that really take a cognitive load on me.

Also, clever code is different than tricky code. To try to use a programming language quirk is crazy. You're asking for your code to be hard to read. Using a little known useful feature is good way to extend your team knowledge of a PL.

I might be more inclined to go for a startup-style government if startups had a better success rate. Sure there are a few great success stories, like Theranos or Uber, but...oh, hm.
While I agree with your sentiment, civility should be seen as the optimal method to make political decisions, not the only way. Blind admonition of tactics that don't fall into its camp can lead to a really limited understanding of politics.
The most concerning thing to me is that after recognizing the parallels between the Trump campaign and the Silicon Valley ethos Altman's response wasn't to be introspective and consider if SV culture has been too boorish but rather to (seemingly) pay compliment to Trump's craftiness.
So numeric modeling bad, finite state automata good? But I guess that's how it is, since people think black boxes are more "human."
You underline what is essentially my biggest gripe with IOC. There seemed to have been an explosion of everyone wanting you to use a new fancy framework to make it happen.

For the most part, constructor logic that simply sets dependent fields (and, importantly, does not do anything) along with not requiring fancy initialization shakeups goes a long way to easily testable things.

That said, people that go out of their way to make a fixture for each individual method can be just as annoying as the folks that only do end to end testing.

Basically, life is easy to argue at the strawman level. Breaks down quickly when there are "boots on the ground." (Or whatever other saying works.)

Drake equation always bothered me when used in argument of contact probability, because it doesn't take into account time. Yes, there might have been billions of extraterrestrial civilizations, but that doesn't mean there are currently ones that 1) already can communicate or receive EM waves, and 2) not yet deprecated use of EM waves. Oh and there's also speed of light issue.
That makes me wonder if it's also easy to create a string that is its own MD5.
I doubt it, I think they hired out of some no name information security firm. These people probably are not the group developing the exploits either. I know if I was in their shoes I wouldn't waste my time using anything fancy, but this whole thing reads like some mid level member trying to create documentation to move up the corporate ladder.

I don't want to rush to judge them because not everyone can be at the top and if it works it works. If I can pop a box using powershell, it's way easier than having to develop some kernel level hack. Additionally when anyones 'private' conversations get leaked they always look like a fool because it shows us being vulnerable and asking dumb questions, but a lot of the posts really do remind me more of the sysadmin who learned some python instead of the cutting edge of private industry.
seems like a "simpler" and more egalitarian solution would be to just encourage more females to be interested in science and technology from an early age in the first place. quota hiring is never a fair system to anyone.
We use 1.6 in production on AWS i3.16xlarges and it's great. We've seen a reduction to less than half the nodes and over 100k per node requests/sec (up from 4k req/sec for Cassandra). Very few issues and those that come up get immediate attention from core developers that actually wrote the code you're having issues with.

Absolutely 100% recommend.
Today's world can focus the energies of vastly more respurces, and people, than any one village or tribe. And no, fundamentally, scale is not relative. That's what scalee effects mean.

A member of Daesh, or the Russian dissident press, or Free Tibet activists, can find the resources of a nation-state or global alliance turned against the, without warning. Enemy counts are far greater. Attacks are at little or no risk.

Again: "Today the observer can be anywhere on Earth, and the data are vastly more detailed. Impunity of the observer is far greater."

I don't believe we're going to reach agreement, and we're both repeating our earlier points, which is my stop rule.
In Ptacek's defense (heh), I'm willing to wager those hypothetical detection rates are far off the mark by orders of magnitude.

I'd expect a microcode-level rootkit to run a five-nines success rate evading detection unless used against someone who's paranoid enough to have _something_ in place to detect it, and I'd venture further that the 3LAs of the world are smart enough not to target the infosec-paranoids of the world.

Can you build vst/au with audiokit for integrating with your daw?
Good point.

It's definitely not going to be 10 seconds for a more serious installation you described. But it will be faster than anything else. You download the binary or compile it yourself, set the path to your repositories, and you are done. No wizards!

I haven't thought about RPM and DEB packages yet, but they will be definitely supported if that's what people want.

Trump is the worst president ever and I hope he gets impeached.

In Iran you go to prison for criticizing the president. In Malaysia (and other Muslim countries) you get kidnapped for trying to spread Christianity. In China you disappear if you start agitating for dissension on any medium. Someone merely observing you isn't taking away your freedom to say or do things.

You really have to ask yourself: Why would women, as a cohort, make the same amount per individual as men? Do you assume that nothing can be different enough between men and women to reasonably justify the statistics?

I know of women who are paid more than me in tech, and I know why. I know of women who are paid less than me, and I can think of n reasons why.

As for sheer numbers, ask yourself: are there any industries where there are considerably fewer men than women? The answer is, of course, yes. Look at nursing. In the most gender-equitable societies on the planet, I'm talking the Norways and Swedens of the world, you'll see 80-90% female involvement in nursing. Look at construction. In those same societies, you will see almost the exact opposite, probably even greater disparities. Look at sales departments, I don't know a single woman who likes sales work, and I know at least a few who have given it a serious try. I'm sure there are some, but you won't convince me that it's the norm without hard data. On the flip side of that, I grew up with guys who love working with their hands in construction, and who like that it's honest work.

My intuition is that men and women(real, living individual men and women) are different in some way which drives them to prefer different work based on schedules, the way their job has them interact with people, the amount of solitary vs. collaborative work, work-life balance, and hosts of other complex differences.

As for harassment, I find it hard to believe that tech is a particularly bad place for it. I would believe you if you said that startups are prone to harassment (HR vacuum). Until I see a non-partisan study with an appreciable number of respondents, a consistent rubric for assessing individual situations, I will continue to believe what I see in person.

No CNET or USA Today article is going to convince me that it's a problem in itself that there is a statistical difference between the average yearly earnings of different cohorts. I'm sure married and unmarried people make different amounts of money on average. I'm sure people with and without kids make different amounts of money on average. Nothing about those statistics says that there is a discriminatory or unfair advantage. If you could prove that a major company is systematically underpaying women for work of equivalent holistic value, then it would be the case of the decade; this case has clearly never happened, because if it ever did, it would be an outrage, and at very least the people making this argument would be pointing at it every time they got a chance.

And I know you'll downvote this before reading it through, but maybe the first few open-minded people will get a chance to reflect. I can spare a few HN hivemind cohesion points.
You know, not every woman who has bad experiences in the tech industry writes a blog post about it and puts it up on HN. A lot of us don't even bother reporting it to HR anymore, since we're well aware by now that HR exists to protect the company from lawsuits, not to protect women from harassment. And lawsuits just end up getting you informally blacklisted. I personally know a lot of women, including myself, who have faced issues with sexism and harassment in the tech industry, and most of us have either sucked it up if we decide it's not that bad, or find another job if it is. I doubt any of us would bring it up in front of a male coworker who hasn't already demonstrated that he's "safe" to talk to about these things. I think it's great that more women are feeling comfortable speaking publicly about issues in the industry, but I think many of us are still struggling not to be the nail that sticks out and gets hammered down. Why would someone put their career at risk to "educate" a coworker who has already demonstrated that he doesn't care what women say about it?
Incredibly handy and awesome - especially when using it together with [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com)!
According to a recent Wikileaks tweet, this leak is only 1% of the files that they have on the CIA. So most likely, they have many more exploits that are more significant.
I don't think it's sexist to acknowledge that a lot of women just want to be moms and wives. A lot of them don't want to do complex analytical work, instead wanting to raise children. And the world looks down on them for that, like there is something wrong with them for not getting into tech. I think that is the real sexism.

I don't like it how women are taught they need to act like men. The fact is they are not men, and their uniqueness and femininity should be celebrated. Instead today we constantly compare them to men saying "your not good enough, not doing enough STEM, blah blah blah."

being a great mom is underrated, but it's an amazing contribution to her kids and society. The real sexism is society telling women there is something wrong with them for wanting to just be wives and moms.

I don't know, some people are irrational about plants and farming. Sure we've grown all kinds of plants in orbit before, but maybe potatoes need to commune with the Earth in order to grow. Turns out that potatoes obey the laws of physics and chemistry as well.

That's an interesting way to spin having your EO struck down as unconstitutional.
What kind of country is this where insurance is not mandatory for owning a vehicle? He wrote that the other driver wasn't insured. So in the US, it's legal to drive a car without having insurance? My mind is blown.

This kind of thing would have cost me a maximum of exactly zero if it had happened here (Switzerland, but I'm guessing it's similar in the EU). Insurance is mandatory and the insurer of whoever caused the accident pays. Unless they flee the scene, but that's its own crime, so most people don't.

That said: We had two larger issues with our Model S so far, one time it had to be repaired in an Italian body shop while on holiday, but that was done in less than 48 hours. It wasn't even a Tesla service center, just one of their partners. The other issue involved the drive train, it started making whining noises after two years. They fixed that for free (new motor and drive train) and gave us a free loaner for a week.

One time it didn't recover from a software update and had to be towed -- again, a free loaner, Tesla paid for the towing and even had the vehicle brought back to our door because I was sick with a high fever and couldn't go pick it up. They usually make you pick it up.

Another time I snapped off the windshield wiper by accident because I'm an idiot, it was on our way to France. The service center in Geneva made room to fix this (had to replace the whole wiper assembly) and we were back on our trip less than 30 minutes after arriving at their shop unannounced.

So I guess it all depends on what's broken and where you are.

Disclaimer (do we need to have disclaimers for this now or is that just on Motley Fool?): I have Tesla shares and used to have Solar City shares as well, but the damn thieves switched my Solar City for Tesla at USD 290, so now I'm short 50 Dollars per share. Serious first world problems, eh?
