Yes, it's a silly interpretation. Especially inconsistent since if Yoda is Luke's hallucination as the article asserts, then Luke himself is "killing the past" in the same way that Kylo Ren does, and treating the film as a Millennial attack on the Baby Boomers is rather short-sighted when they are both doing the same thing.

As far as I can see, the only thing approaching a coherent theme in TLJ is the question of how one can move forward if encumbered by the past (Finn and Rey also have these
issues). This offers perhaps 1% of the thematic and political subtly of the Lucas trilogies. But even this seems a challenge for the script to grapple with coherently -- surely Yoda (presented as a figure of wisdom) should not be using lightning and fire (Sith tools) to destroy embodied wisdom. And if we are to view Luke as doing the right thing then surely the only logical conclusion of this way of thinking is that Kylo Ren is on the right track.

Ironic that Poe Dameron (who destroys most of the Rebellion) is seen negatively when all he was doing was clearing the way for victory by getting rid of all those ships (human lives)!
In theory, yes[0], but DAB in the UK at least is tending towards low bitrate, and often mono, streams -- see, e.g., https://www.astra2sat.com/radio/uk-digital-radio-bitrates/

Then I am just not familiar with this use of the term "compound". I was thinking synonymous with "mineral", as in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral

"Minerals are chemical compounds, and as such they can be described by fixed or a variable formula."

But now I think it means like:
http://www.scienceclarified.com/everyday/Real-Life-Earth-Sci...

"COMPOUND: A substance made up of atoms of more than one element, chemically bonded to one another"
>but actually change the attitudes and eventually behaviors of those you are trying to help.

It might help out some, and some of those students will go on to college and they won't return to the same community to make it any better. Having children wake up early to ride the bus for an hour is avoiding the root issue. Communities should have local schools that they can take pride and ownership in. Having school close to home also makes it easier for parents to be involved.
The spectrum is regulated by governments everywhere, so it doesn't have to. Or, if you prefer, "that ship has sailed" a long time ago, so let's look at what it gives us as it exists now.

Technologically effortless dissemination of content from a central source, scaling to infinite receivers with no congestion and no loss of quality. The production of the content itself need not be vertically integrated; individual programs and segments are licensed and syndicated from third-parties.

Airwave broadcast has a natural place in the world, ideally by playing popular content that's always in demand. In our rush to go point-to-point, full-duplex, and on-demand, with both cabling and wireless, we have occasionally reimplemented services that are one-to-many simplex on top of lower layers that aren't made for that, whereas airwave broadcast has always fulfilled the same usecase with a different set of tradeoffs.
What does this even mean? Contracts are already formalized agreements. Indeed, that's their entire purpose, to formalize and memorialize an agreement between parties. The post in the OP is right: contract issues arise from human interpretation and performance issues, not any of the simplistic automatic elements "smart contracts" might be able to help with.

> FM demodulators can't really demodulate AM signals. AM demodulation can demodulate FM by tuning a bit off the carrier frequency thanks to the fall-off of the filters but the quality isn't great.

By "isn't great" you mean, "I might be able to understand something with a tailwind, downhill" - right? :-P

The mode of operation for an AM radio listening to FM is akin to a slope detector.
I think this is a good solution. Almost any start up is going to have a one year cliff before your first vesting period begins. And to be fully vested often means remaining at the company for 4 years. So now you are that 5 year mark and if the company doesn't IPO by then and you want to leave you have to buy all of those options.

So if you don't foresee being at the company for at least 5 year or foresee having the money to purchase the options you have accrued after the 1+ years then you are better off asking for cash. Companies of course don't like this because it costs them nothing if they pay part of your comp in options that you then leave on the table when you leave the company. This is calculated, the companies know this.

How many startups can you expect to work in your career where you stay for 5 years? Lets say you work for which would be 20 years of your career. How many of those 5 are going to actually IPO? The math suggests you leaving a lot of money on the table. If you take the comp in cash you can put that money to work for you in other ways.
> it's not worth my 30 seconds to unlock my phone

It takes me ~4 "seconds" (saying "one-one thousand" aloud) to do it when typing in a password (sorry, don't have a stopwatch handy). Just did it 10 times just to test. It'd be even faster with pin/fingerprint/face unlocking, or with no locking at all.

I also used Shazam and Google's "what song is this" feature for somewhere less than 5 minutes on the initial few seconds of 10 songs and my battery indicator didn't move a single percentage during my testing. Shazam scored 10/10, Google missed one (a song from an esoteric Chicago band called Terminal Bliss - all of the songs I chose were intentionally fairly obtuse to try to find missing info in the databases).

But I can say with fair assurances Google's not shipping their entire database on phones, just whatever's most popular up to some (probably size driven) limit; any given CD releases with about ten songs, any given year sees tens of thousands of CD releases (about 75,000 albums in 2010 alone). Worse, the entire feature's use case is better suited towards less popular music since you're less likely to know the song's name if it's new or esoteric - so you can almost immediately guess that those 70k songs in that database is just ~30 years of various genre chart topping hits.

All you've done is cement my convictions that this is absolutely a solution in search of a problem.

There are 2 things here, There is the cut that the founders hold, and there is the portion under the control of Ripple labs.

Ripple labs has a very strict way of handling the XRP they hold. It's not just "lose structures" in place, they are using the Ripple blockchain to escrow 55 billion of the XRP and release it on a set schedule of (I believe) 1 billion per month, and any that is left over at the end of the month is re-escrowed. So they can't just "flood the market" at any time, there is a set limit to how much they can even sell without hardforking the blockchain in their favor.

The founders have free reign on their 20 billion XRP, but I don't see why they would ever use it to crash the price.

Yes. But slack, like HipChat thinks I want to pay 500MB RAM and $7 per user per month to chat and voice call.

Effectively all I want is a lean chat/voice app that’s also ideally free. This is pretty easy - but when you throw in the other Skype features (group voice, screen sharing, mobile apps) as requirements, it’s actually pretty hard to match in the free tier.

Skype is $0 regardless of company size and the resource use is pretty reasonable.

On that topic: Why aren’t more companies using discord instead of Slack? Looking at feature matrices it seems discord does in the free version a lot of what Slack does in paid (e.g group voice)?

Show HN: Twiggy – Git branch management for Vim
> "850,000 AI engineers across America"

Seriously ?
Are you using the OneDrive file stream? I forgot what it is called.
Inspired by item?id=16114907 I figured I'd try my first Show HN with a vim plugin I released almost four years ago and didn't really promote.

The idea was mostly to get a quick view of branches in vim and sort by MRU. It of course has a smattering of other features (like checkout, fetch, delete, etc.)

This is the first and biggest vim plugin I ever wrote so obviously am a little embarrassed of the code. While I haven't updated it in three years, I still use it every day. Obviously this means I haven't updated it to add backgrounding-support but it does work with dispatch.vim.

Looking for feedback, contributions, and the motivation to improve it.
> Let us say that we have a computer system so complicated that it is capable of mimicking a human being with perfect accuracy. You would probably say that that computer is not a being that has consciousness, because it is merely doing calculations to replicate behavior.

Actually, I would seriously consider the proposition that it is intelligent, especially if it wasn't mimicking one specific person, and would be inclined to take Occam's razor to the proposition that it is actually faking it in ways that cannot be explained.
ballenf didn't mention anything about only agreeing with scientific papers that have positive effects. ballenf is asking if "the knowledge of the paper's findings benefit society" or if "a mechanism by which the paper has a positive effect".
I'm only partly kidding.

The parent complained that they don't like hearing music while they work out, and advocated for _every other gym user_ to provide their own music, presumably by ensuring they have a music player + headphones on at all times.

An alternative option is for some (probably most) people to listen to the available music (or their own if they prefer), and those (presumably few) who want silence to do so by putting earplugs in to block the sound. (I think most gyms play music because they've found that doing so keeps more customers happy, but that may be a mistaken assumption.)

From an economic standpoint, the choice is between N people buying/using headphones + a media player, or M people putting in (cheap, waterproof) earplugs. The latter solution is substantially more efficient, and has the added benefit that _most people_ in the gym are probably going to have headphones-off, and more aware of their surroundings, and be easier to talk to or ask questions of.

One way gyms might cater to both views is to have set times/days where they play music, and times that they don't, so that you can adjust your workout schedule to meet your preferences.

If it matters, my personal preferences are to listen to (nice music) > (annoying music) > silence > (personal music), because I'd rather be unencumbered.
> The commission said inequities are caused by the fact that schools are most funded with state and local tax dollars.

That has always baffled me living in America - how poor districts end up being doubly punished because their children also get less funds, and less resources. If anything, shouldn't it be the opposite, if poverty is prevalent, wouldn't that school get more funds? A wealthy district can probably manage and do well for its kids even with less funds because it probably can have less teacher, less time addressing and manages trauma and behavior stemming from growing up poor and everything associated with.

There is an interesting phenomenon at play, I have heard more about "think of the children first" in this country yet when it comes to actions they point in the opposite - "think of children last, think of profits first" basically.

> “How much is spent on schools is not as important as how the money is spent.” For instance, he said, simply increasing the salaries of all teachers in a high-need school district won’t have as much of an impact as identifying high-performing teachers and increasing their salaries.

Throwing wild ideas around -- I think it has something to do with teachers already being burnt out and used to certain patterns of behavior, most likely in response to lack of support, funding, some because classes are too large, regulations, etc. Giving them a raise might not break that pattern and make any difference. I think they'd need to bring in fresh teachers and give them higher salaries to start with.

Fresh doesn't have to be new graduates, could also mean teachers from out of town. Wonder if it makes sense - to provide incentives for teachers to move to other schools. Say if they move they get a higher salary, it would be federally sponsored, and include, generous bonuses and all paid relocation etc.

Thinking about the above, try to remember if you knew a burnt out coworker, or yourself if you were burnt out - would getting a salary bump make that go away? I have not seen it yet. The same is true for other professions I imagine.

That's because the link between funding and performance is tenuous at best. You are going to get down-voted by liberals because you're starting to engage in "wrongthink", but, deep down, they understand full well the issues and behavioral problems that are present in these public schools, which is why they will NOT send their kids to these schools, instead opting to self-segregate and send their kids to private schools - while at the same time bashing conservatives who wish to do the same.

This is extremely prevalent in diverse urban areas dominated by liberals, such as New York City.
I don't have direct experience with 1Password on Linux, but customers have complained about how AgileBits has treated the Windows and Android builds as third class citizens and not put in a lot of effort into those. So I'd be cautious, try it out and then decide instead of taking someone else's word for it.

For multi-platform password managers with browser extensions, Enpass (enpass.io) is an option. Dash lane is another, though it's about as expensive (or more) than the 1Password subscription that AgileBits pushes (the dark pattern on the AgileBits website about completely hiding the standalone license is something I don't like).

Last paragraph is terrifying, does China not have privacy laws at all?

More interesting than prospects for some may be the sheer volume of intimate data available and leeway to experiment in China. Tencent’s now-ubiquitous WeChat, built by a small team in months, has become a poster-child for in-house creative license. Modern computing is driven by crunching enormous amounts of data, and generations of state surveillance has conditioned the public to be less concerned about sharing information than Westerners. Local startup SenseTime for instance has teamed with dozens of police departments to track everything from visages to races, helping the country develop one of the world’s most sophisticated and extensive surveillance machines.

I'm struggling to find even a single thing in your comment that isn't a terrible negative generalization or just plain incorrect.
Depends on the SPA. If you're trying to do something relatively simple, where the events and state clearly map to the UI, jQuery isn't too bad. It's even fun.

Once your SPA goes through an iteration or two with a few different programmers, you find your events have nasty ordering dependencies and your data becomes inconsistent all on its own. You have no idea why because you can't reproduce any of these issues on your own. You have to watch other people interact with your app just to reproduce bugs ("why the hell would you double click a link?") and git bisect becomes the most productive tool in your toolbox. Most project discussions end with a shrug. You yearn for the days when it was possible for a single human to ever understand the entire app, but that was six months ago and management steadfastly refuses to fund a rewrite. You look wildly around for any sign of hope...

As for Angular, agreed, but I'd rather work with it than a bunch of jQuery. React and Vue are quite pleasant.
And it's such a fascinating term! Holding is what Warren Buffett does, after having applied his unique evaluation skills before buying, hodling is what a True Believer does. "If you are not a True Believer and cash out early, you are not deserving of eventually entering the paradise of a bitcoin bet retirement."

And to people who self-identify with the term, I think it might also be a kind of rhetorical last line of defense for when someone criticises their trust and belief: "those may be fine arguments or not, see I don't care, I HODL which means I just don't take it as serious as you. Mind your own business and let me dream my dream". Could also be motivated as a psychological hedge for the day after, "sure, it was expensive, but look at fun we had!"

If I have them stored via digital media and don't provide it with significant forms of security, then yes - and it's my own shame if something "goes wrong". Besides, why would I take pictures or video of that if I wasn't going to look at them later? That's part of why I never got up in arms about the Apple photo breach; people stored images on a remote server whose security they were unable to monitor.
