> A politican voting to reform a clearly broken prison system faces tons of risks to their career.

Can you say more about this? It sounds like you think that's normal in your community, to think that way. That's not how I hear the people around me talking about prison. I think most of us would support a candidate who talked about rehabilitation.

I worry that by trotting out this old meme as if it were an permanent fixture of our political system that you are actually strengthening it.
That only works if your objective measurements map well to subjective listening experience. Frequency response does not map well. Neither does THD. They're measured not because they're useful, but because they're easy to measure and sound "objective" and "scientific". It's an appeal to authority fallacy with a graph.
I can only upvote this. Exactly the same in Bulgaria. Now telcos don't include the mobile internet as they did previously. If you're to to retain the same amount of data, you have to pay more more expensive plan. The paradox here is there're plans with say 400MB national megabytes, but 1200MB in roaming! Due to the weird formula implied for calculating the limit of data in roaming - related only to the cost of monthly bill you have.

"What are you going to use to actually encrypt messages? You don't want to directly use the public key primitives to do this."

I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Could you explain why there is a need for another encryption protocol beyond a public/private key encryption?

If the protocol is secure against brute force attack, both the public key and the encrypted messages could be open and would not create a vulnerability to the private key.

What am I missing?
I'm not trying to say other types of developers are second class citizens. I'm trying to say that when you're standing in a room with 95% software developers, that's "software developer" is the default type of developer, and other developers are the ones that are going to need to clarify. You're standing in a place that is, if not 95% software developers, then 50% software developers + 50 other types of developers at 1% each. Developer is going to mean "software developer" to most people here. That's just a practical reality, not a judgement against other professions.

Obviously there would be some ambiguous cases, which is acceptable.

You are way over-reacting.

Sine sweeps are a good method to measure frequency response. That's what they were trying to do after all: measure frequency response. That was the stated goal of the test: find a correlation between frequency response and another parameter. They were playing a signal into a dummy, capturing the sound and measuring it; they were not trying to determine how pleased the dummy would be with the beautiful music.

However, I share your overall assessment that present-day transducers are far from perfect accuracy.

I'm not surprised. I might be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure Wells Fargo was also the bank where its employees were opening up bank accounts without their customers' knowledge for bonuses. Oh, and it's also one of the banks where whistleblowers were basically pressured into leaving and then blacklisted on a list that big banks circulate internally so they couldn't find jobs in the banking industry ever again.

The Audio-Technica M50x is an amazing headphone for the price. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

I use somewhat more expensive headphones now (the B&W P7 Wireless) but I mainly upgraded because I wanted the optional Bluetooth support. The B&Ws cost more than twice as much, and they do sound better than the Audio-Technicas to my ear, but the difference isn't huge. For me, like you, upgrading from cheap headphones to the Audio-Technicas was a revelation, and I suspect another quantum leap in quality like that simply isn't possible.

I used it for very limited black-and-white 3D animations, pre-compute the edges, then draw the images in real time and for other tricks.

A few months ago when trying to interface a bunch of hardware to a PC I realized how much easier such tasks were in the past, it's funny how we have made it much harder to expand a computer in our own domains (electronics, interface boards, standard ports with immediately usable i/o almost without latency) compared to how much easier it is to expand a computer towards the domains of others (networking).

You misunderstood my point. Both government-run and privately owned prisons are paid (or funded) based on how many inmates they have in custody.

I'm suggesting that private prisons could be solution to the problem if we change their incentive structure.
In my experience, the divide is similar to the War on Drugs. Most young people understand that it was a poor concept, initiated by racists, from the start. Many old people are still tethered to the propaganda of the past, so there are politicians that can just continue that line of thinking. As long as the current generation is in power (Boomers), we won't see much change for the better.

Obv not all Boomers are this way - to be clear, just way too many.
I'm not going to disagree with you on the technical details, since I'm not knowledgeable enough in the area. But I'm going to take issue with one thing:

"Scientific, reductionist thinking is inadequate to get an accurate picture of the factors that matter to human listeners"

I think you're noting the difference between good and bad science -- science is certainly capable of putting together a picture of the factors that matter to human listeners. It may not have done so, but it's not a failure of the scientific process, it's a failure of the study(ies) involved.

Can you explain this?

I'm Canadian and unless I'm missing something, or just really don't understand our immigration policies, once you are in Canada you can move where ever you want.

I mean provinces, including Quebec, should have absolutely zero say as to if you can live in them once you are in Canada.
I don't see any contradiction there. It can be a place of many human rights abuses and a desirable place to immigrate.

If an immigrant thinks they can avoid the abuses, then it might make sense to come anyway. It also might make sense if they are facing worse abuses back home. But either of those things could be true while still having many U.S. citizens whose rights are being violated.

The truth remains that the U.S. only protects the rights of some groups of its citizens, not all of them, which is contradictory to the brand we project.

Italian major CS minor here:
Not good at math (working on it) but good at programming (full time salaried job with good pay doesn't mean I'm good at it but it'd about the only credential I have) (also working on it).

I dismissed programming as a freshman because I was so bad at math in high school. Turns out my high school teachers were very bad teachers (shocking when they're paid so little, who would've thought? ) I learned Italian fluently, spent a few years overseas immersing myself in it, came home and had a rough time finding my passion. Took a gap year and messed about with some online coding classes (code academy) and realized I loved it. It felt like a new language that instead of being expressively emotional it was a way to express logic and rules. I like logic and rules.

So I completed the minor +4 higher level classes and taught myself mobile development. No regrets... Besides not going into it as a major maybe.

The Constitution plays an outsized role in the U.S. because our voting populace is quite a bit more conservative than our intellectual elite. Our veneration for the Constitution is why, e.g. bans on interracial marriage were eliminated in 1967 with a Supreme Court case instead of in the 1990s when public support for interracial marriage crossed the 50% line. It's why abortion isn't illegal in roughly one third of the states. It's why schools were desegregated by Supreme Court fiat a decade before the Civil Rights Act was passed.

It's a writ small version of the situation that you see with, e.g. Bangladesh. The voting populace there is very conservative, and despite the constitution creating a secular republic, voters have Islamized the country since then. A few years ago, there was a touchy situation where there was concern an interim military caretaker government would not hand back power to the civilian government once elections were conducted. People like my parents (who immigrated to the U.S. from there) who think secular democracy is really important, kind of supported an undemocratic military intervention that might have the effect of protecting it.

> Those are only saved/restored when switching between processes not between threads. Context switching when dealing with threads is typically done in software, not in hardware, precisely so that registers that are not used (like the segment registers) don't get needlessly saved & restored.

You are incorrect. Context switching is done for threads in HW. I think you are thinking of cooperative multi-threading (like pre-Windows 95, or nginx or node.js or V8) instead of true context-switching threading.

On the other hand, what's the average ROI on investing in proprietary software development? It's rarely a question of spending the resources on software development, it's do we spend the resources in an open, or closed way? Nice to see a positive ROI, though - there's definitely a fear that it's just "giving stuff away" and clearly it's not that simple.

I'm all about open-source, but I wish people wouldn't focus on how companies should do it because it's good for them financially (although granted that's probably more effective with the intended audience than what I would say). I wish a bigger deal was made about how it's just a douche bag move to sell software and proactively prevent users from having freedom to understand, fix or modify it for their needs - that applies to more than just the source availability and license.

Hogwash.

We're allowed to involve ourselves in the politics and push to update, modify, and otherwise "improve" the regulations.

There's too much of a "set and forget" mentality when it comes to government.

IMO, that's due to all the fear mongering over governments being bad. People feel obligated to then fight for private corporate power.
