Western tonality is a consequence of the biology of human hearing combined with the physics of common Western instruments. The ear converts sound to the frequency domain. If peaks in that spectrum are close together, they're perceived as a single beating sound. If they're far apart, they're perceived as separate sounds. But if they are of intermediate distance, they are perceived as a dissonant noise. Plomp and Levelt investigated this with pairs of sine tones[0], and Sethares generalized it to arbitrary sounds[1].

If you sum the dissonances on the Plomp-Levelt curve of every pair of harmonics from multiple sounds played at once, weighted by the amplitude of those harmonics, you get a good approximation of perceived dissonance. String and wind instruments make sounds with harmonics at (approximately) integer multiples of the fundamental. If you graph the calculated dissonance of frequency intervals of such sounds, the minima will match the intervals of the traditional Western scale.

Other instruments, such as tuned percussion, can have prominent harmonics at non-integer multiples of the fundamental. This requires different tuning for maximum consonance. Indonesian classical music, with its extensive use of tuned percussion, is well known for this.

You can of course ignore this, but most people like their music to be mostly consonant, and if you arbitrarily change tuning you're very likely to end up with something that's mostly dissonant.

> Physically it is the result of sliding an open E chord down the neck to produce higher notes then, la piece de resistance, taking a finger off. Radiohead added a killer feature of turning the gain up on the amplifier for the chorus, genius. It's the kind of thing teenagers everywhere find in their second month of guitar mastery.

The song is in E major, yet G# major and A minor are not chords in that scale.

Firstly, no. All the white keys are consistently in one key, e.g. C major

It takes far less to be an effective fallout shelter than you might think. If you look at lethal ranges on H-Bombs you see incredible destruction, but if you're protected for the first 1hour after a blast you can be surprisingly close to the blast and live.

It's reasonable to assume that a adversary can and will use overreaction against perceived threads as a strategic 'unconventional weapon'. Unconventional defence would include educating a modern populace on critical thinking, thread model evaluation and even things like stoicism.

Ah yes, that bastion of freedom the US. The place that promulgated eugenics as the solution to all social ills and forcibly sterilized the poor and minorities. Whose ideas Hitler so loved, he decided it was necessary to do one further. Who turned away Jews fleeing his genocide because of its own fabricated, racist ideas about genetic “undesirablity,” which were presented uncontested all over popular media.

The problem I see with your analysis is that you're taking a fundamentally creative and subjective process, reducing it to its output, and then making comparisons based solely on the mathematics of the output. That strikes me as akin to comparing two paintings by counting pairs of brush strokes. The reality is much more complex than that.

We have really powerful computers and we know a lot of math, so it's understandably seductive to reduce a problem like this to one that yields to mathematical analysis, but there is something important lost in the reduction. It's a song we're discussing, and not just a progression of chords.
This is not an "article," it is an opinion piece, published in the opinion section of the Times.

An opinion piece is kind of like a Medium post- the view of an author with a clear point of view. Often explicitly by someone in the field or with an "axe to grind". This is a feature not a bug. They are giving experts a forum for debate.

An "article" should be more neutral, more widely sourced, and reports the opinions of others vs the author. (It goes without saying that this is clearly messy and you can't remove all bias.)

I see this frustration about "opinionated articles" incredibley often in critiques of opinion pieces in major newspapers and I can only assume that is because "how to read a newspaper" is a skill which is not taught and also because the web with its direct links makes identifying the differences harder.

The clue here that this is an opinion piece is the "Review" section of the NYT, and the identifying bio at the end about the author.
If any one or two of the song characteristics were similar most would chalk it up to inspiration - but in this case every progression, melody, vocal slide, beat, and crescendo is appropriated. Not to mention the tone of the piece and lyrics.

More than that, I have written guitar riffs and melodies and latter found that they are the same as a song I have never heard before! I am sure this due to the very constrained nature of what is practical to reach with your fingers, the nature of the interval between strings, the tricks that hammer-ons allow you to do between certain notes and not others, the way it is easier to apply vibrato and bends to notes around half way up the neck and on the thinner 3 strings. Millions of possibilities for the competent jazz guitarist, but few of them are practical for normal people.

To my limited understanding of Ethereum and Bitcoin, the network already has rules in place to punish nodes that misbehave or cheat. In the case of Bitcoin, that is part of layer 1 so it is independent of any application layers and thus it should always be at the core of the network.

With PoS cheating is likely to become a bigger issue [1], since with PoW the miners who get punished will have wasted their time and electricity.

Would be great to hear comments from more knowledgable people.

"If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
I agree with the message. I think that it is our civic duty to ensure that debates are possible. Because when a society transcends into Fascism, the first thing that is lost is the right to disagree. If it becomes impossible to question the prevailing dogma and everyone who attempts to do so is labelled a traitor or worse, then the path to totalitarianism is open.

People should remember the Iraq war and especially the build-up to it. Debates were silenced by the rallying call to "Support our troops!" You couldn't claim that the war was a pointless hunt for oil engineered by the oil companies. Because that implied that the "war moms," those who let their sons enlist and fight the stupid war in Iraq, were doing something wrong. Telling it how it was, that whoever travels half-way cross the world to participate in a war against a people they should have no beef with, is committing state-sanctioned murder, was not allowed. I know that is polarizing, but polarizing is whatever a lot of people disagree with. It doesn't mean that it is factually incorrect.

So the next time the US rallies the dogs of war, remember Iraq and what made that war possible. Because it will happen again. When Trump, or his successor, decides that "something has to be done" about North Korea, Iran or Syria, do break the decorum. Don't allow disagreement to become taboo because then history will repeat itself.
It also, if you invest a little effort to produce an appealing profile, does a great deal to make up for weak face-to-face networking skills. The "LinkedIn, faugh, who needs it" attitude around here really doesn't do an introvert any favors, I think.
I think it's safe to assume the 100,000+ Iraqi civilians killed in the conflict in Iraq received no such warning. It's shameful how completely unaware most Americans are of the terror their MIC imposes on others.

Ironically, this incident in HI will feed the collective fears and the wrath of the MIC will extend further still. The opportunity to question the status quo will be lost.
So if a language can't do HTTP and async I/O (with state-of-the-art performance) then we shouldn't consider any other possible application for it? Rust is not Java, you have better languages to build webservers with.

The US military never thought that there was any nuclear attack inbound so not at all. The real danger was that either North Korea thought that this alarm was cover for us preparing for a counterstrike after we preemptively nuked them, causing them to decide to launch, or that Trump saw the news on Fox and ordered a launch and didn't let himself be dissuaded.

If someone did launch a missile, and it were destroyed with a secret weapons system, this is precisely the timeline (alert, not a drill - passage of 30+ mins to write a cover story about shift change, “oh sorry false alarm”) and news articles I would expect to see.

The only thing we know is that we won’t ever receive the truth.

Can you imagine how much worse it would be if the story were “US anti-missile defense destroys weapon headed for Hawaii”?
I don't understand your comment; I can see the tragedy on "The German" side... I think that it's horrible that a nation of normal people got hijacked by a mad gang and then herded, bullied and tricked into an absolute catastrophe. The actual end of Prussia... millions dead.. all major cities flattened.. a sizable percentage of survivors raped.. how can anyone not understand the tragedy of that? Germany was partitioned for fifty years, it's still occupied. It's mind boggling.
That's just not true. Most of PCI compliance is documenting practices and operations. Have you even completed all various levels of compliance? Or have you just done one level?
> and an employee pushed the wrong button

I would assume that was how it was explained to the governor, and that the actual system is software based (right?) - there couldn't possibly be an actual physical 'ballistic missile alert' button right next to the 'shift change' button.

In which case, the triggering of this alert is probably a bit more complex. However, this is treated as a sensitive system so there likely will not be an actual post-mortem on the incident
I think you've got it backwards. You are so attractive that the chickens want to stay outside the coop with you!

Why? What really surprises me the most is that this seems to be a common thought. Did that happen before? Do you simply misstrust your government so deeply that you can not even assume something important like this is done right?

Really if i would get such a message on my phone (not even sure if my country does that) i would definitly expect the worst and act like that.
Since this system had nothing to do with the military, nowhere near.
Making a false statement over and over doesn’t make it any more correct. This is just ugly rhetoric which is why I stopped interacting.

As a liberal I think the left has a huge problem with this kind of narrow mindedness on what opinions one can hold and unwillingness to listen, using rhetoric to disingenuously twist someone’s viewpoint into something clearly offensive. It clearly doesn’t matter what you actually say.

The use of this kind of rhetoric seem to build upon the incorrect assumption that democracy is the default state, and that you can use this to enforce an us vs them so that it’s easier to fight a social justice war. Let’s hope the left doesn’t create an authoritarian state by systematically acting using authoritarian means.
I don't really get the point of this. Why does it matter if it's reversible?
Freezer cooking. Once every 4-6 months you prep about 50 meals and freeze them. Then pull them out as needed and use slow cooker.
There are sites like https://www.laurengreutman.com/category/blog/aldi-meal-plans... that help do this.

We got an instant pot a few years back, and now we use that. Besides replacing the slow cooker, the pressure cooker function of it can cook a frozen meal in 30 minutes instead of 8 hours.

> You can make `rustc` happy by following suggestions, but may end up puzzled as to the reasons for the changes it suggests.

This is how I felt, but it wasn't bad: I think you start to pick up on the patterns. In other words, learning isn't short-circuited after you've made rustc happy, even though you're still a bit puzzled - you'll carry the experience along with you and continue to learn from it later.
The standard stdlib has all useful data structures, mostly the differences are in providing more convenient functions and monadic interfaces that you might have to write yourself, if you didn't use the alternate libraries. There is nothing to "learn" about using another stdlib since most signatures are the same. And they can use a different stdlib if they want.

The migration from standard stdlib to alternate ones is fairly trivial(some signatures might differ but typed language means the compiler will catch them for you), so you can start using the stdlib and if you feel like writing some trivial things that should be in the stdlib or you need some advanced data structures you can use the alternate ones.

Also you need `lwt`(most people prefer this)/`async` library for writing concurrent programs like a webserver. `Cohttp` is a good library for doing http based client/servers. I strongly recommend `Real world ocaml` and the reference manual is excellent at looking up some new type-level features. Also reading well-known libraries code is an excellent way to learn a language.

Traditionally, once the decision is made to go to war, all debate about the justifications for the war must end.

Countries where the debate continues end up having a social split where part of the nation supports the war, and part does not. This kind of civil division is fatal during war time if your enemy isn't similarly hobbled.

Any war, even the most worthy, is susceptible to having its justifications criticized but the consequences of not being unified during the conflict are so catastrophic that people prefer to criticise wars only after they have been won or lost.
