In my experience as a long time trumpet playing dog owner, the dog is generally thrilled when there is less richness in the noise, and generally less trumpet playing period. I say this with experience owning many dogs and having played the trumpet in a range from really badly and inexpertly, to pretty good... they don't care. Trumpets in person are just way too loud and a bit too much in general for most dogs.

The problem is that your speakers were not designed to reproduce sounds at those frequencies, so instead of faithfully reproducing those sounds (that you can't hear anyway) they may emit unintended artifacts/distortion (that you can hear).
My understanding is that by definition, a 500 year flood has a probability of 1/500 per year. But I live at the top of a hill in the Midwest, so a 500 year flood in my locale has a much different severity than a 500 year flood in Houston.

How do we know that the trumpet still sounds harmonically pleasing above 20 kHz? It may sound nice to the human ear, and a horrible mess to anyone with ultrasonic hearing capabilities.

Have we asked the dogs?
The correct answer, at least in some cases, is don't use objects in the first place.

That at least fits my interpretation of what Fowler meant by "use the relational model in memory," though--if you're using a relational database, don't try to directly map objects to relational tables, but take advantage of what SQL offers instead. That's consistent with not using objects in the first place (although I suppose it doesn't require it).
Does this mean that the lower end OEMs may not provide this on new devices at all? Or if they do it themselves that it may be a very low-quality calibration so the feature doesn't work well?
Of course your theory is quite sound, but I will point out that in practice most 4k streaming content uses an HEVC codec, while most 1080p streaming content uses an AVC codec, so you'll likely have much better results on your data budget with the 4k signal even if significantly downsampled to your display.
I don't see any connection between safe identification and safe use.

Yes, I've measured my eyes' resolution to be about 60 pixels per degree. I made a black-and-white grid and set it as my desktop picture, with a one-to-one magnification. Then I backed away until I could not discern the pixels. There's even a moire effect, like with cameras, as I reached my threshold. Then I used trigonometry to calculate my angle of view.

Most living-room TVs are probably placed at a 15- to 25-degree angle of view. 1920x1080 is enough for up to a 32-degree horizontal angle of view, which is 7 feet away from a TV with a 55" diagonal, for example. I will say, however, that movie theaters look a little better with 4K, since 30 degrees is supposed to be the back row, and the front row might be 60 or so.

The video linked in the top-most comment will beautifully answer your questions. It's also on YouTube.

You can think of it as in the sampling rate provides a mathimatical solution to the waveform - it's simply 100% accurate all the time. The bit depth adds extra "buckets" to divide the volumes into . If you have 2 bits, you then have volume levels 0, 1, 2, 3.
Wormholes have radiation fields in them so even if they did work you'd get radiation poisoning at least when you get to your destination and might need medical help.
Look, let me explain this as someone who's seen a lot of this: VCs make money on, approximately, the 2&20. 2% of the deposit and 20% of the exit.

Here's why that matters: Most VCs will NEVER EVER SEE THE 20%.

Most VCs suck, and they don't have any good exits, or often any exits at all. So they know they'll never get the 20%.

Therefore, being rational optimizers, they try to suck that 2% dry by creating new funds (for their firm) and new funding rounds (for their investments). The investment is always just about to get big, we just need another round for more runway!

HN tends to focus on the like 5 VC firms that make money as opposed to the 995 that don't. All kinds of shady stuff happens to these investments on life support, like kicking back money to the VC, paying for "business" travel for the VC, yadda yadda. The founders have no incentive at all to talk about it, since they need to get money for the next idea and it's all a reputation thing.

My freshman year of college I proposed a study to our hospitals IRB to strap small lasers to three week old infants in an effort to measure concentrations of a chemical in their blood. The most frustrating part was not the arcane insistence on ink and bolded study names, but the hardline insistence that it was impossible (illegal) to test the device before getting IRB approval - even on ourselves. Meaning that without any calibration or testing, our initial study would likely come back with poor results or be a dud, but we couldn't find out until we filled out all the paperwork.

Incidentally, I recall it being much less painful than this, at least to get to the approval step. I would expect that each IRB varies greatly from group to group.
Confluent doesn't understand the ANSI SQL standard. Support for aggregating over windows with standard syntax goes back to SQL:99, so it's been around for 18 years. Any company playing in the SQL space should make a point of understanding the standard.

There is a good explanation of ANSI SQL standard windowing at http://sqlstream.com/docs/conc_applicationdesign.html?zoom_h.... The document describes both tumbling and rolling windows as well as how they are achieved with standard syntax.

SQLstream could not agree with you more that an up-front explanation of SQL compatibility level is necessary to evaluate a product. SQLstream Blaze is SQL:2011 compliant.

What I'd really like to see is Mac Pros that use Core i5 and i7, starting around $1500 or a bit more, compared to the Xeon models starting at $3000. These new machines would be called the Mac Tower and the Mac Tower Pro.

Then Apple could make a smaller, quiet, SSD-only Mac mini, and push down the starting price.

I figure that there are two groups who like the Mac mini: those who want a cheap and small desktop Mac, and those who want a modular desktop Mac, but don't need a Mac Pro.

I think you are being unfairly downvoted for your opinion. I upvoted you though I disagree.

I'd like to know, how do you feel about the legality of cigarettes and alcohol. Presumably, you don't want your kids smoking cigarettes. Would you like them to be illegal to sell?

I'm also not really sure your thoughts on availability really hold in the way you are thinking. Take for instance glue and paint. These are both widely available for getting high currently, but are rarely used to do so because people understand the negative tradeoff associated. Under your view though, it would seem you prefer these be made illegal to prevent availability?

The distortions are not present in the source. They occur because the speaker is a physical device subject to physical limitations and can't perfectly reproduce the waveform. In the process of trying to reproduce the ultrasonic signal, the speaker can produce audible distortions. If the ultrasonic signal is not there to begin with, then it can't possibly cause distortion.

So would you rather have substances like this unregulated? Allow black market dealers to sell to minors and people who don't know what they're getting into? I'd rather have substances like this regulated, taxed, and give people who want to use substances like this a chance to be educated on how it will affect them. People are going to use this stuff regardless, how about we make it safer for those who want to partake and society around them. That's why decriminalization is a good idea.
Yup.

>But, first, every rational number is exactly representable in any base (as a fraction, rather than as a decimal expansion).

Fractions are great until you actually need to evaluate them to use their value. Saying that any number can be perfectly represented with fractions is much like saying that any integral calculation can be performed by simply writing a tall S in front of an algebraic expression. You still have to calculate the final result.

>Second, this doesn't help you at all if you're taking trig functions of almost all angles, where the result is not rational.

That's just it though: we have no closed form way of calculating the values of trigonometric functions. We only have algorithms that describe how to approximate their values with acceptable amounts of error.

I'm a woman. I tend to effervesce. I actively work at toning things down.

I wonder a lot how much of that is innate wiring and how much of that is socialization. But, generally speaking, when a guy does the same thing, it gets interpreted as gay.

Stereotypes tend to come from somewhere. We don't just make them up whole cloth due to innate assholery.

I don't have all the answers. In fact, I am not sure I have any answers. But I feel like I am finally starting to ask the right questions. And one of those questions is "Am I really just innately feminine or is my concept of femininity a learned cultural construct that is not serving me well?"
Only with the benefit of hindsight, which isn't helpful to the newcomer.

To someone new who is just trying to work through some web framework tutorial or hack out a half-formed proof of concept, it can be several minutes (or much longer) of trying, failing, copying error messages into Google, and following some guide written for Debian but failing to get it working because you're running Red Hat (or vice versa). When you stack up enough similar problems getting the rest of the stack to work (e.g. configuring Apache or nginx), it stops a lot of new people in their tracks. When they're given something that just works, it's a godsend.

Because people in your parents' generation had it easy. The post-WWII boom allowed even those without college degrees to find well-paying jobs, keep and advance in those jobs for decades without having to job-hop every few years just for a meager raise, and retire with nice pensions.

If you consider following the law "government harassment", then your comment makes sense. But I'm pretty sure not declaring a commercial activity is illegal and not declaring revenue from that activity is called tax evasion, Airbnb or not.
What stopped you from testing on yourselves anyway outside the study?
Which really you're supposed to be doing on both OSs at this point. As an iPhone user there are still apps that don't support the 6 size screen and it's obnoxious.

iOS has four different retina screen resolutions on the phones, more on the tablets. For all we know there will be more in two weeks. Creating pixel perfect layout doesn't work very well anymore.

It may be easier to exhaustively test on iOS because there aren't quite as many variations, but devs should definitely be using flexible layouts.

The elephant in the room is that most of the information people get today is filtered through the same entities that are benefiting from all of these privacy invasions. The conflict of interest is real and intense.

I may indeed have interpreted that uncharitably.

I don't understand this. Even if they can't assess the risk in any one property, can't they estimate the total amount of flood damage in (say) the US each year, and spread the risk across thousands or millions of properties?

If the answer to that is that only people in areas vulnerable to flooding would buy insurance, and the companies would have to pay out too much - well, that means the insurance buyers are pricing the risks better, and the insurance company should hire some of them.
So long as all frequencies you're trying to represent are below the Nyquist frequency, there's still only one band-limited reconstruction of the samples. So yes, it's still possible to reproduce everything accurately so long as all of the individual frequencies (no matter their relationships) fall below 1/2 the sample rate.

> now it's a mislabeled sex offender?

The only way you could construe my comment as saying Google is a mislabeled sex offender is if you completely ignored the actual point in lieu of keywords you chose to focus on.

My prior comment can be reduced to "if you're going to make a moral argument, use evidence of morality in that argument." That you responded with what appears to be an apoplectic fit doesn't really leave your prior argument any better off.

> I'm fine saying Google's actions were immoral.

Obviously. But why? I'll even help you out a bit. There are two parts of this case that are distinct as I see it, that Google suppressed search results of a new search result service they rolled out, and that their supplying their own data from the knowledge graph for shopping results when other services exist it itself monopolistic and punishable. In the former, I agree that's behavior that should not be tolerated or someone in their market position. Of the latter, I think that's a far overreach of any government. If nobody can compete because Google is just doing that much better because they've built the base of audience and information to handle it better, then Google is outcompeting the others in a good way that's better for the general public.
To whatever degree it was true it was a lot MORE true when you only had to worry about the original iPhone screen, or the original plus right now, or maybe the five.

It's no longer just one or two sizes on iOS. Probably a minimum of three assuming you don't want to do a tablet app, and that may change into weeks.

I think your top comment is being interpreted as "not responsible enough to use [any form of psilocybin]" - that's how I read it until I saw this comment, which makes me think you were actually referring to dosage safety and presence of toxins.

I strongly disagree with the first interpretation: I can't imagine any connection between identifying plants and having the introspection and self-criticality to know if, when and how much of a psychoactive substance to use. But I agree on the dosage/toxicity aspect. Way more stochastic than what your everyday recreational alcohol or marijuana user is probably used to.
> Fractions are great until you actually need to evaluate them to use their value.

What does this even mean? Fractions are already a value, or rather they are a representation of a value. The same as the decimal number 25 is a representation of 2×10¹ + 5×10⁰.
There is definite value in cutting out a few of those middlemen or even just decreasing their capabilities.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, but I think that's sort of the point. You want a high enough pixel density so you can't perceive pixels at normal viewing distance, and I can definitely see pixels on my 42in 1080p screen from across the room.
