I read this article and have to admit that I instantly sided with Radiohead because I have a natural bias toward them and against Lana. I'm just not a fan of her music. Then I listened to her track. I'm very familiar with the Radiohead track. Radiohead is just plain wrong on this one.

Here's the problem - your average jury/judge/lawyer does not have the required music theory knowledge to understand how asinine Radiohead's case is. There is a short list of 3-, 4- and 5-chord harmonic progressions that literally 90% of popular music is based on. What makes these songs different is the overlying melody and (to a lesser degree) the rhythm. Because these progressions are so commonly used, your mind doesn't automatically go "this song sounds like that song" because they all somewhat sound like each other (in a harmonic sense) and none really sticks out. We focus instead on the melody and rhythm.

Now in the case of this Lana Del Rey song, she is using a far more rare chord progression in the verse where the last chord in the progression moves from a major chord to the minor of the same chord instead of resolving to the tonic. It creates the sense of dark tension in the song. Radiohead also uses this technique in Creep. Lana has really done nothing different from all the other pop musicians who use the same harmonic progressions as each other, but in this case there are very few songs to compare it to since it's a very non-standard progression. So when you hear this next to Creep, your brain goes "wow they do sound very similar". The melody of the vocals in the verse seems to carry some similarity to Creep as well, but it's really a pretty natural melodic line to sing over that progression due to how strong the color of the harmonic sequence is. Most importantly, the chorus shares nothing in common with the chorus of Creep.

In court, Radiohead will likely win because the general population just does not understand this in-depth. They haven't written music and therefore don't get how easily one song can sound like another with absolutely no plagiarism intended. The sad thing, to me, is that Radiohead DOES understand this and they are still choosing to go ahead with the lawsuit against another creative artist. I guess that's what happens when you still need to make money and your career effectively ended decades ago.
Then the article title is very misleading...
Here’s a first-hand unverified heresay report from a grey-beard who worked for Tektronix back in the day: on assignment he drove out to China Lake for some high level troubleshooting, his vehicle came to a large gated facility and upon reaching the inner gate, he noticed a fleet of SR-71s, all with the same tail numbers. He was quickly escorted off the premesis and sent packing.

This is the same guy who personally claims we were actively experimenting with directed energy weapons using the San Onofre nuclear plant and that he personally saw the damaged tail of another YF12/SR-71 that had been hit by a Russian laser weapon.

Western people are largely indoctrinated with the idea of life being sacred and the necessity to protect it all costs; many Asian cultures are much more matter-of-fact about death as the worldview is more cyclical than teleological and reincarnation is quietly assumed as the natural order of things.

I don't want to derail the thread, but I have discovered the 7th Continent thanks to last year discussion on HN. I ended up buying it (but I have not received or played it yet). This is a kind of remix of "Choose Your Own Adventure" in board game set in a early twentieth century with some fantastic elements (inspired by Lovecraft, Poe, Verne, etc) that can be played solo or in group.

If you were interested by the game, the 15th of January, so in less than 24 hours is the last day to pre-order it (and at this stage it probably won't be released by any other channel, so the last chance to get the game)

It's not hard to make original music. It's easy! But it's way harder to find listeners of original music.

>As a hobby music producer I just can't wrap my head around the logic behind copyright infringement. It's so arbitrary. It's illegal to steal a melody but sophisticated chord progressions are fine. It's illegal to copy the text of even the simplest verse but reverse engineering some complex synthesizer sounds is fine.

So, what's not to understand? Seems very well defined. Melodies and lyrics are more important than sounds and chord progressions.
I have struggled to master guitar-based songs on my handy electric Sousaphone for years. I grab a small bass guitar and POOF: pop songs are mechanically easy on this device, it's right there under your fingers. Turns out: the instrument informs and constrains the creation.

Double entry bookkeeping seems like a good place to start to develop a conceptual understanding of accounting, and it's a useful skill too.
"Growing up" those shelters were considered around smaller, kiloton and low-megaton sized weaponry. The whole civil defense project fell apart after the 1950s once 100 Megaton hydrogen bombs become the norm. There's no sheltering from a city killer inside of a city, hence the reason the US quit pretending there was.

I still like Switzerland's idea of civil defense, but then nobody is going to attack the place where all the world's criminals keep their wealth anyways, so even there it's a complete sham.

I only get two posts on here because HN mods hate me, so I'm going to just add this: You don't have to worry about North Korea. At. All. The threat is already over.

As far as the false alarm in HI goes, maybe ask questions in the direction of "who is it that would like to embarass the current US Administration?"
Can someone explain to me how on earth Ethereum is still a thing? People have lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the Ethereum ecosystem, many due to basic flaws in the "Solidity" language. For example, last November $280 million was frozen in Parity wallets because function visibility defaults to external rather than internal (see the previous HN discussion here[0]). Just for fun, I was looking through the Security Considerations[1] in the Ethereum docs, and here are two so-called "minor details":

- In `for (var i = 0; i < arrayName.length; i++) { ... }`, the type of `i` will be `uint8`, because this is the smallest type that is required to hold the value `0`. If the array has more than 255 elements, the loop will not terminate.

- The `constant` keyword for functions is currently not enforced by the compiler. Furthermore, it is not enforced by the EVM, so a contract function that "claims" to be constant might still cause changes to the state.

WTF?! Trivial loops won't terminate to due (unchecked) integer overflow, and the `constant` keyword does nothing? It's a complete gong show. I'm not touching anything to do with this language with a 100 foot pool. Is the hype bubble just that big?

Edit: Oops, it looks like I'm mixing up my multi-million dollar screw-ups. First in July $30 million was stolen due to the "public is default" debacle, and then the fix for that problem introduced another bug (the developers forget to call the `initWallet` function), which lead to the $280 million being frozen in November[2]. Holy crap.

Ben, every point I've been lucky enough to witness you argue at Twitch has alway shone this Neutral Good seed behind it. Unjustified process, user-harmful acts, and any worsening of free speech cause you to interject, never to "wait and see" forever and never to disagree without speaking up.

I honestly have become better at this skill by being nearby when you exercise it. And I believe I have spread that to others in my life in turn. I absolutely would be a different person had our desks not happen to end up across from each other through three office shuffles. And I never met Aaron, but I believe by influencing those around you in this way you've done so much more to honor him than the two big ticket items you give yourself credit for.

Meeting and Helping Japan's Homeless (part 4)
The guidelines are vague, but the site was still never intended to be exclusively about engineering - hell, initially it was called Startup News.

I find it useful to look at the submissions by the site's creator[1], before he passed over the site's management to others, back in 2014. As you'll see, it actually has very little engineering content, and on the contrary, has many articles from mainstream sources.

I'm sure HN has ebbs and flows on the ratio of engineering articles, but it was never supposed to be dedicated to those; maybe you just joined at a moment when the ratio was bigger.

I saved some money by buying a kit that included most of the parts. I confirmed that this setup works and have already completed assignment 0 with it.

1. Raspberry Pi 3: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CD5VC92

2. CP2102 USB TTL adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K3Z3TL

4. microSD card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B1AR50

Note that I didn't need a microSD adapter since my laptop already has a SD card port, and the card linked has a microSD-to-SD adapter. Overall, this was $64 vs $98 for the above parts, and it all had free one-day shipping.
To be honest, I don’t really understand if there are any practical motivations to race for the tallest building in record.
Both styles since both reward the creators of a block and both select the creators of a block through some form of randomness. So in both schemes there is an incentive to bias that randomness in your favour.
Some features from the examples [0]:

At a minimum, I personally know of active school/university debate societies in the United Kingdom and Australia. And while it sounds like you've had some bad experiences, my personal sense is that the majority of people with formal debate experience are actually better, on average, at staying within the bounds of civil discourse.

Having said that, there is indeed an overly aggressive subset of the population that is, as I think you're suggesting, attracted to debate for all the wrong reasons. But based on the literally hundreds I've met, I'd say as a population they are on average more civil and more likely to follow norms of "fair argument". They are much more likely to aspire to be erudite policy wonks than to be angry talk show pundits. YMMV obviously.
Oh they know, but either rationalize it or say 'it's too big for me to fix' and go about their day. It takes a certain sort of perversity to actually dedicate your puny efforts to interfering with the machine.
>What if it's a conventional bombing, or you're not directly in the blast zone? Or if the nuke fails to detonate?

Yeah, this has been the most frustrating thing reading all of these accounts. A "ballistic missile" does not necessarily have a nuclear warhead. I don't see anyone correcting this and it seems like an important thing to know.
I used to just delete LinkedIn emails but started to hit unsubscribe on each email I got, one month after another. That lasted for 6 months before I flipped and said that this was the only warning I’d give that they’d be taken to court if they ever emailed me again. Not a single email since that point, so an internal blacklist must exist.

Additionally the geography must be able to support sky scrapers. In some places solid stable bedrock is hundreds to thousand+ feet down. This also makes it impractical to build structures beyond a certain height in such areas.
I meant you could execute every instruction with cryptographic check, i.e. AES check for every single step if this instruction could be executed. That would bring speeds under Z80 and will be overwhelmingly secure if protocol is correct. I hope nobody would try to add it to normal CPUs in the future, but security guys are sometimes too idealistic.
> It occurred to me though — when did they start calling them "fallout" shelters rather than "bomb" shelters?

Sometime after the nuclear bomb was developed and first used to end the second world war. The "fallout" in "fallout shelter" refers to "nuclear fallout" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fallout) which would not have been a term that would have existed prior to the creation and first use of a nuclear bomb.

So sometime circa early 1940's to mid 1950's timeframe would be a good guess.
The Azrieli School of Architecture building at Carleton University in Ottawa is a bizarre building that a lot of Architect students have their courses in. The legend on campus is that the building was designed purposely to be filled with architectural flaws so that students would learn from them. I have no idea if it's true, but it certainly would explain a lot.

Perhaps your architect's school has a similar idea in mind. Because seriously, that is a dull looking building.
>We (the audience) just love repetitive bullshit too much. It's our fault.

Why is it a fault? Music is about what people love. Why should they stretch that to love something else? Because some consider it more "serious"?

>Jazz, although built on a (less) restrictive harmonic foundation, tends to not have this problem, because the musicians and the audience are more talented.

It tends to have the problem of very few caring about it -- and that audience is tiny (as seen in streaming rates, sales, etc) compared to other forms of music.
I hate USSR, communism and socialism but I'm very nostalgic to late years of USSR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perestroika) and early 1990s. It was time full of hope for new capitalist Russia (inspired by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher). Unfortunately, all these hopes fell short when Russia fell under control of clans which later transformed to Putin's Russia.

Anyway, here is my 2 cents of nostalgia:

We have been using Sops for a few months, it's pretty impressive really.

reading your Sops config during githooks allows you to ensure everything is encrypted before commit.

The only downside I have come across is that if you accidentally encrypt a file twice you essentially lose the data. obviously, this is user error but some additional protections around this would be good.
This guy's writing style (is really annoying!)
For example, here I needed a configuration file that will have a list of IP addresses, which I will iterate in for loop.

This was the smallest requirement that I needed for my problem.

My instinctive solution would be even simpler --- a text file with one IP per line, similar to a HOSTS file.
Does Facebook really need to take on this role of news publisher? I get that people are accustomed to it now, but wouldn't it be easier for everyone to undo this, let Facebook be the place where you go for the occasional family photos and local event updates, and let news be somewhere else? We don't need Facebook to be a newspaper at all, people were doing fine before it.
I suppose it's sort of like the practical motivations of formula 1 racing. The things learned while trying to push the limits to the extreme can lead to practical uses for everyday versions.

For example, if these tall towers figure out a smarter way to move people vertically (non-cabled elevators?), that can be applied to the many 50-story buildings being built for more normal purposes.
> Also, cooking at home doesn’t really make sense from an economic standpoint when you think about it.[1] Like everything else, cooking has economies of scale and specialization, so it’s cheaper to cook for many families at once.

Cheaper for the restaurant, yes. In don't see why it's cheaper for me if you add the restaurant's margin to the price.

Not even talking about taxes, labor, equipment, housing and food safety costs the restaurant has (and will pass on to me) that I don't have when I cook myself.

(The quality control I have is another point, though not a purely economic one)
The difference is that this is made public. There is no secret conspiracy and marketing campaign to change public opinion. It is taught in schools and encoded in publically accessible law.

I think I may have got the tone wrong here, but it was more self deprecating than trolling. I am a competent guitarist, but know little musical theory. The same was true of many of my friends. The guitar is easy to start out on and impress some non-players with. You can get a very long way with a few chords and tab.

However I would never claim to be a musician. I don't read music, I don't think in scales. I used to hang round with music students who marvelled at my solo improvisations, but I couldn't compete with them when it came to music theory. I learned the blues scale shape and added the interesting notes which my friends had proper names for..but it didn't stop me playing songs.

Those who do learn music theory have my utmost respect, they could do harmonic things I can only marvel at, but I knew 20x more guitarists that just learned songs from the magazines (before the internet), song books and each other until they had enough building blocks to do their own thing
A reasonable point, but it's sad that people consider surviving a nuclear war a more practical endeavor than altering the political direction of the country. Admittedly they are somewhat orthogonal, but I'm trying to highlight the problem of equating war with natural disasters as opposed to something over which we have any sort of political control.
