I read that some recording studios were filtering to ~40 kHz, on the premise that the ultrasonics would generate audible intermods in the ear. Maybe it’s audiophile nonsense.

In any case, the 96 kHz sampling would yield an additional 3 dB dynamic range vs the 44 kHz sample rate.
According to the Economist, the whole structure was created to minimise tax [1]

"What emerges is an outfit that ingeniously exploits the quirks of different jurisdictions to create a charity, dedicated to a somewhat banal cause, that is not only the world's richest foundation, but is at the moment also one of its least generous. The overall set-up of IKEA minimises tax and disclosure, handsomely rewards the founding Kamprad family and makes IKEA immune to a takeover. And if that seems too good to be true, it is: these arrangements are extremely hard to undo. The benefits from all this ingenuity come at the price of a huge constraint on the successors to Ingvar Kamprad, the store's founder (pictured above), to do with IKEA as they see fit."

What's even more important, this progress is happening without, or with limited amount of, its downsides.

Like, fewer and fewer children dying does not result in uncontrollable, Malthusian population explosion: number of children in the world remains constant, population grows just because of growth of life expectancy.

More and more people getting electricity does not mean we are using more and more non-renewable resources: consumption of coal and oil remains nearly constant and only natural gas is on the rise (while this is the cleanest fuel and there is a lot of it left).

Same can't be said about clean water, though.
Sure, call tax evasion tax evasion, but AFAIK Kamprad wasn't doing it. Authorities go very hard against tax evasion, the illegal thing. Tax avoidance is by definition things that are legal, not tax evasion.
I was at a smart grid workshop in VA a year after Obama took office; Steven Chu was there. It was mostly technical staff from grid operators. We were there because we'd been doing vulnerability research on smart meters, and a smart meter vendor had asked us to go.

There was a guy talking exactly like your comment in our working group. We'd all be talking about some technical detail of, I don't know, off-peak power storage or something, and this guy would keep interrupting and demanding that we talk about EMF and EMF weapons.

We all just looked at him like something was deeply wrong with him. Little did I know that years later I would read this comment and know the truth.

BTC was $8k around 20 Nov, so anybody who bought any time before that is massively up.

Still, I agree with the essence of your post.
I used to be that guy; brush and floss after every meal from one checkup to another, and there was still buildup. Very morale-crushing. No longer.

Only habit change: I dropped net carbohydrates to 20g per day. I did that for a chronic condition, but the change in dental health was a pleasant side effect. My dentist told me he's never seen such a dramatic difference. Gum-inflammation was causing gaps between my teeth, and that receded to where he couldn't detect it any longer. I went from a teeth cleaning once every other month to once every four months, and that is only by personal choice to get what little buildup he can find (the cleanings are nearly perfunctory, about 10 minutes now). Yet my dental routine has worsened, as I no longer brush and floss after every meal (going to one meal a day at the end of the day also gave me time to brush and floss after that).

YMMV. I suspect a large genetic component, and dropping carbohydrates will impact dental health for some even with a modest drop to 1-200g net carbs per day, and not at all for others even down to 20g net carbohydrates.

I didn't pay that much attention to the story but I figured it was either some kind of IC ploy to discredit Cuba for political purposes or figured it was remotely possible that somebody was testing out some new tech and being dicks to Americans due to the tense relations between our country and the godless communist scum that operate the Cuban gulag. It's fitting that the US has its own gulag there since the whole island is really just one big jail. Someday they will be liberated and Marxism will be eradicated once and for all.

Anyhow, if you want to see mass hysteria, a far better example is cryptocurrency "mining" and the people buying that hype.

Ok. But when why not donate the tax savings to an org that can use it? I just can't see "I don't care" resulting in hoarding (so much money).

No, they succeeded because of aggressive marketing campaign, an example of which I provided.

Neither Symbian, nor WP phones had such campaigns, and this is why they got beaten by inferior product.

Why do you think Macs stopped selling when Jobs was gone, while ux didn't change?

Apples user experience is so bad, that there literally are paid Mac apps that fix their flaws. And they sell.

There are no iOS ones, since you cannot customize anything besides wallpaper and ringtone there, everything locked.

I bet you did not even have top tier phone other than iPhone in your hands, cause you'd admit it yourself.

No matter how it is worded, someone needs to be the shield for the development team. There is a constant stream of requests from customers, but the team should not be exposed to all of them. That is the responsibility of the product manager. A coherent system, and decide how to use the limited ressources to develop the product the best way.
this is such a weasely way to phrase agressive tax minimization. It's the "I spent all day eating Sam's Club food samples" of business. You didn't need to do it, you're helping no one but yourself, and you look bad afterwards.
I think the first sentence of this article may hold the key. Weeks after the President takes office with the mission to undo every accomplishment of his predecessor, the Cuban embassy is 'attacked' with Cold War era fantasy weapons with no motive, suspects, or physical evidence. Giving the President the excuse he needs to revert another of his predecessors key accomplishments, and return to locked-down relations with Cuba.

Its no wonder the administration has done nothing to de-escalate the situation, but instead fanned the flames of public speculation, and re-enforced the claims of the affected embassy workers.
It still seems an hypocrisy to me. In any case, they use the flag as a marketing tool, something which, from my point of view, doesn't show much respect for the flag.

In 2008 or so The Hot Club of San Franscisco[0] (gypsy jazz/hot jazz a la Django Reinhardt) played a live accompaniment to some work by the silent film actor/comedian Charley Bowers[1]. It was definitely one of the better performances I've ever seen/heard. What a perfect juxtaposition, not even taking into account the obvious caliber of the musicianship.

Ever since I've been on the lookout for similar "soundtrack" concerts, improvised or composed. A live rendition of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" orchestrated by a Denver jazz guitarist is another favorite.

If one were to argue to someone "The reported facts don't matter. Your own instincts on the matter are wrong. Here's what's really going on. You should believe me." and they did believe you, that sounds like the setup for a cult. So maybe the people you were talking to had their defenses up in anticipation for that sort of thing (whether or not you took such a tone)? (I like to argue that cognitive dissonance can actually be valuable for this reason)

Your claim shatters people's reality. You should make sure to propose some objective rules for the universe that can be used to scrutinize your own claim among other possible explanations.

There should be some logic.

>as (mostly) low-status low-value workers

Here you're projecting your own bias against them. I'm not suggesting "the system" is without flaws, but the average joe seems to be doing alright in general, especially if you consider average joe historically and globally.

>The reality is that wealth concentration among the hyper-rich is accelerating as they capture an ever-increasing share of global productivity.

Wealth concentration among the hyper-rich doesn't concern me in the least. Generally speaking wealth is created by providing value, not taking it.

>If the Internet were likely to fix this, we’d have seen some evidence of this happening by now.

The internet is in the process of unseating media monopolies and democratizing information. The poorest of the poor across the world have access to information that was previously only available to the wealthiest who could attend universities in rich countries. The internet has allowed small businesses with basically no infrastructure to reach the entire global market. It's allowed families to keep in touch instantaneously across oceans.

>You only have to think about that for a few moments to see how far we are from that kind of Internet, and just how locked down, siloed, chokepointed, gated, and obsessively monetised the Internet we have today is.

You're comparing the internet to some fantasy you have. I'm comparing the internet to the world before the internet.
You're not calling a spade a spade, you're calling a trowel a spade. While they have similar means of operation and mostly similar results, their definitions are commonly understood to be different. Trowels are single handed tools, spades are double handed. Tax avoidance is carried out publicly and legal, if possibly unethical, whereas tax evasion is carried out in secret and is illegal.

Edit: I misinterpreted the question at first. I guess in TS you declare a class' properties explicitly while in javascript it is usually done in the constructor. The feature must be related to these dynamic properties. Original answer below.

This[0] page says this problem can be also seen in Typescript. But TS has the arrow function as a class method feature that in Javascript is only at stage 2 in it's way to standardization, so it's easier to solve there.

"This is potentially important in the context of a racing driver because if they have an injury that is affecting breathing, the oxygen content of the blood will begin diminishing immediately."

That depends on your definition of "immediately"... It can take several minutes of apnea before the oxygen saturation level starts to drop off. This is particularly true of people in good cardiovascular condition (which F1 drivers certainly are).
> You can't handwave away your lack of understanding of a problem

well we do use packages written by others all the time which we don't necessarily need to have a complete understanding of.
I think that the best editing experience would be editor combined with debugger. JavaScript is a dynamic language, a lot of autocompletes before run is just guesses. But if you're running program and stopped it at that line, you know all available objects and their properties, so autocomplete would be perfect. It would require a bit different development style, but it might worth it.

If IKEA can generate a higher return on capital than generally available, it could make more sense to accumulate and compound the money for as long as possible so he can donate a bigger amount later. Hard to quantitatively compare to the utility of early philanthropy.
Ok. But when why not donate the tax savings to an org that can use it

Technically the IKEA Foundation (www.ikeafoundation.org) is that charitable organisation. And technically they do donate a bunch of money each year to various causes. Of course they're not the most transparent of organizations so it's hard to really judge their philanthropic efforts.

Maybe "Money doesn't motivate me" would be more accurate?

At the risk of trying to psychoanalyses a man know very little about,I'd say that "personal wealth doesn't motivate me" is probably the most correct statement. He obviously cared very much about his businesses and making them as successful as possible, and as such probably cared deeply about money to the extent that they're the 'points' used to judge who's winning that game.
I agree, that makes sense for C/C++ because working with pointers and dynamic memory is a lot more complicated - Types make sense for C/C++ because the focus is execution speed and flexibility (not development productivity).

The case you describe very rarely happens to me with JavaScript; having fewer primitives to work with greatly reduces these kinds of issues... Sure it opens up the possibility that you'll do something stupid like trying to add an object with a string; but that's a pretty silly thing to do. If you name your variables properly then that never happens.

With C/C++, there are many primitives so you might get errors when you try to assign an int64 to an int8 (for example)... With JS, however, because there are fewer primitives so the odds of that happening are much much smaller.

Because there are so few primitives in JS, it's easy to remember how they all interact with each other. The only exception is the boolean truth table for '==' (which is a mess); that's why it's usually recommended to use '===' instead.

I find it hard to see how this kind of voyage could be done with a trireme however in Hellenistic times they were building much larger ships like the Tesseraconter http://www.naval-encyclopedia.com/hellenistic-ships/ .

I have seen a lot of theories over the years mainly because of the Pytheas journey mentioned below but without evidence they are just theories.

The commonly understood definition of tax evasion includes that it must be illegal. You are simply appropriating more severe terminology in an attempt to inflate the strawman.
