So what happens when, for example, you're trying to get a home loan to buy a new house, and the loan officer is an older person who doesn't use texts? (This is something real that recently happened to me, and for which a phone and voicemail were indispensable.)

I find that while I can do what you suggest for friends and family, there are just enough situations where I can't do that, that I need to still have voicemail. Doctors offices that robocall to remind you of an appointment are another one. The occasional lawyer, or other professional who have a particular way of doing things. Getting rid of phone and/or voicemail just isn't a realistic option for a lot of people.

AT&T assembly style significantly predates C++ (and C# by like two decades), and co-evolved with C. And strictly this isn't an assignment, anyway. Assignment is an abstract operation in a programming language. This is a machine instruction[1] for a physical machine, which does exactly one thing.

[1] Pause while the peanut gallery points out that in fact there are like ninety six different instructions in x86 called some variant of "MOV". Yeah, yeah, we know.
In putting forth my proposal, I also considered an argument against it; but I did not mean to present it as a conclusive argument defeating it.

It's a turn of phrase borrowed from judged sports with a jumping/dismount component, especially gymnastics. If a gymnast dismounts from a balance beam and lands without stumbling or bending the knees too much, one would say he has "stuck the landing". In the headline, OP is saying that, by virtue of the landing being near-flawless, SpaceX "stuck" the landing. This is used quite commonly in aviation/aerospace, but colloquially.
Yes, Azure IoT Hub.

Works pretty well, and the Business Intelligence backend is pretty powerful. Not sure what Google's version of that is here.
That whole effort was such a waste of time and money. If civilization collapses, what does it matter if the waste storage site is disturbed? It's not like it's going to be a threat to humanity. Without advanced technology, any damage from radioactivity would be limited to the local population.

To extract a large amount of contaminated material and spread it around the world, you would need an advanced technological civilization, which would then be able to detect radioactivity. If anything, a big concentration of it may help accelerate their scientific progress at some point.
You're being down voted for stating an unpopular truth.

As much as I might wish it wasn't the case, I still agree with what you said.
It is not at all clear in the research that economic migration is an IQ sorting system. It's a question that gets studied specifically, because it speaks to the malleability of and environmental influence on intelligence.

That doesn't make a broader version of your argument false. Migration may very well be --- intuitively seems probable to be --- a system that makes the rich countries richer and the poor countries poorer.
Hey, just saw your comment. Looks like a pretty slick library; would something like this run in a jupyter/azure notebook?
If the HSR is fast enough, it might induce a long distance commuter community in bakersfield as it induces demand. So it's hard to say.

I dunno, there's a line. Being a little bit uncomfortable can spur one to action. Most new parents are driven to be attentive partly out of a fear of killing or harming their child, for instance. Being just miserable enough to be motivated towards something healthy is actually good - the trouble is that it's very easy to be tipped over into destructive comfort-seeking.
> I kind of expect it to follow the order assignment does when I write in C++, C#, etc.

There is no special precedence that should be applied to C. Similarity to C only imparts benefits to those that are fimilar with C-like languages or variants that follow that structure. That ends up being a lot of people because of how popular C and variants have been, but that's doesn't inherently make it better.

It's sort of a pet peeve of mine when people point out differences from C as problems without any objective facts to back up whether it actually is more or less useful in some aspects. If we never stood up to that type of thinking, we'd all by much poorer in the programming language department.
Not really a new phenomenon, at least globally. Similar 'slumming' tours were popular in London, during the 1880's.

OTF is dead easy if you use XeTeX (specifically the xelatex command). The fancyhdr should give enough control over headers. Yeah, floating images can be annoying.

I use it mainly for technical documentation (product manuals, etc.), so I've never tried the memoir class. But what I find myself doing mostly these days is makinng my own classes, usually based on article because it seems to me to have the most 'neutral' defaults.

It's a very steep learning curve, but I've found it an extremely valuable technology to be able to use.

Asking questions on the TeX stack overflow is a pretty good way to get help also.

Yeah it's always great to see concepts implemented and working. My favorite similar project I would use as an argument to bring Nim into a legacy C codebase is https://github.com/ckkashyap/nimxv6 which started off by taking the xv6 kernel and replacing uart.c with uart.nim. Every step of the way you can test your translation was correct, and once you have Nim in the build process you can start using it for new things too.

QED. I stand humbly corrected!
I mean, the advantages of C++ are complexity management and the downside is its abstractness which is what Linus' argument was about (It is a behemoth compared to C therefore easy to make mistakes).

Rust might prove to be a possible candidate because it can help with safety. This is a different rationale than what the argument for C++ was about, so we cannot say.

The bigger problem I see is how premature the Rust eco-system and understanding is. It needs to go quite a long way people people start believing in it and before the language is well understood by more than a niche group of people who learn it just out of interest.

I don't think I know anyone who loves open data and transparency more than Robert. MusicBrainz is open source to the core and all the development as well as most of the business stuff happens on public IRC channels and our JIRA.

It's been a crazy time lurking on IRC and seeing him juggle both huge technical problems that are worth more than a few blog posts as well as most of the business work for the last two years (until he recently hired someone to handle most of the latter).

Of course one shouldn't make this too much of a personality cult and there's always been an amazing team working with him but I can't imagine anyone other than Robert taking MusicBrainz to what it's become today.
Pretty sure I've always seen them vertical. Maybe because I've always driven Japanese cars?

AWS has an IoT platform that offers roughly the same features. They also have "Device Shadowing" which lets you store up some state that behaves as the device when the connection is lost. https://aws.amazon.com/greengrass/ also looks interesting if you requires some edge computing services for your IoT devices.

I don't actually use either of these platforms currently. I put together an in house platform for the few features I need. Provisioning new device firmware and updating are probably my biggest pains. Yocto is kind of awful as well, but its the best that we have right now.
It's gonna be a long 10 years.
MusicBrainz was created partly as a reaction to Gracenote's handling of CDDB; see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/About and https://musicbrainz.org/doc/About/History

It would be completely against the spirit of the project to close in on itself, and as Leo_Verto mentioned, also pretty hard. With the core data available as CC0 and all the source code needed to run the servers, anyone could legally take all the data and set up a "LibreMusicBrainz" in some hours in the unlikely event that the MetaBrainz Foundation (the organisation created to support MusicBrainz and the other *Brainz projects) should ever flip.

Exactly. If you're worried about your portfolio halving, you're either too heavily invested in risky assets for the timeframe you wish to start drawing down, or you're not and you need to stop looking at the day to day performance of financial markets.

Your automatic order is just as likely to misfire and sell just before a recovery than it is to prevent you from losing everything. And worse, you need to realize that just because the markets have fluctuated, you haven't actually lost anything but paper value — you still own the same number of shares in the same number of companies. Selling those during a downturn is just cementing that loss in real dollars.

And so say you've sold. That's only half the problem. Now you still need to figure out when to buy into the market again, unless you're planning on just hoarding the cash under your mattress.
This isn't right wing. This is just crony capitalism. Find the "right winger" of your choice and ask them what they think about this.

Even if you did give all those the opportunities, what about the rest?

One workaround is to put your Opus audio in either a webm or mka container.
> which is why I export in mp3 as well as wav; wav for higher quality, and mp3 for labeling purposes; I could probably just use flac but compressed audio like mp3 also has the benefit of being less space intensive

You could replace the WAVs with FLACs and save a bunch of space on that account. Maybe enough that you realise you don't need to keep both lossless (WAV/FLAC) and lossy (MP3) copies around. Since FLAC is lossless, it will have the exact same audio quality as the WAV files they'll be sourced from. (And, as you mention, FLAC supports tags directly.)

What exactly is the spirit or ethos of cryptocurrency? I thought the big selling point is that there is no spirit, no ethos, no regulation. Folks who are disappointed that a cryptocurrency investing channel has no safeguards against exploitation can't have it both ways.
I'm paying them, no wonder they're friendly. Normal wear and tear should be factored into their prices, same as if I was renting a hotel room or apartment or car.

Airports might be more useful if the security theater were eliminated. The shorter the flight the greater proportion of time I spend not traveling anywhere (i.e. standing in the TSA line). If I can avoid the TSA, god help me I will.

Thread-starter here.

I have raised VC, PE, and debt. Early-stage and late stage. Here's my take on "ICO vs VC."

ICO's:

For the investor, they are akin to commodity futures trading. The underlying value of the token is nil, as is the degree of control over the underlying property. But returns from price speculation can be very rich.

For the issuer, they have the money virtually without strings attached. There is no other form of assistance and no loyalty implied in either direction.

For example, I'd be shocked if there were positive "operational" returns from a token like the Brave coin. For that to happen, Google, Facebook, and the rest of the ad industry would have to grant sanction to the vendor of a Chromium-based browser startup yo turn the entire industry on its side. I doubt it. Seriously.

VCs:

For the investor, they get some modicum of ownership and control of the underlying property – sometimes not much but usually a lot. There is an implied responsibility to help with follow-on funding, but nothing solid. The investment is risky but not speculative.

For the issuer (of preferred shares AKA the company), they get the money with all kinds of strings attached. If the VC is top-tier (e.g., Fred, Kleiner, NEA, etc.), significant branding, easy intros, and many other benefits can accrue. If the VC is less prestigious, the operational impact is more neutral. (No VC can make your company grow or be successful – that's on you.)

My opinion:

1. If I could pull off an "ICO" (bad name) at my next company, I'd do it immediately. Great upside and little downside.

2. I say "immediately" because I don't think that this vehicle will last long in its current unregulated state. There will be failures. There are enemies. There will be evil deeds (fraud), and those deeds will involve unaccredited investors.

3. The ICO will be a short-term speed bump to VCs.

4. That all said, who wants to join me and start an "ICO production" company to create the coins and infrastructure for them to do their own ICOs? Speed is life, and I know some VCs... :)

> What I do expect and find important, and should be legally binding, is that no business should be allowed to hide the actual impact of purchases behind legalese and long-winded "financial product" descriptions, and then put the blame on the customer for not "reading through it".

And in general, as I pointed out here, such contracts tend to be invalid in court. However, signing a piece of paper in plain english certifying saying "I read it" when one did not ought to mean something.

A legal doctrine where one can not bother reading contracts and yet get them decided in favor of ones imaginary terms doesn't sound like a workable system. The whole point of written contracts is so there's a record of what the terms were and what was agreed upon.
True, the characteristics matter a lot. Even so, a principle demo would require only two transducers and a simple lab setup rather than some fancy stage managed demo for reporters to charge a phone. And it would carry a lot more weight with the tech crowd, they keep on doing these demos that scream 'snakeoil' even if there is an outside chance that it is not.

And if the transducers they need to make are not cheap then the whole project is dead in the water anyway. Wireless charging with a custom backing or sleeve over a phone that costs a fair amount of money coupled with a large array of expensive transducers every so many meters in whatever space you're trying to use the system in would likely not take off, assuming they can get the efficiencies working in the first place.
For major airports, LA has Burbank and LAX. In fact, avoid LAX where possible. The other issue is LA is so spread out that that's its fundamental problem; it needs much faster, more pervasive and efficient public transport that ties into national and international travel.
AAC when well encoded sounds great, but there are too many sub-par encoder implementations that just don't sound good - sometimes worse than MP3.
