>The writer doesn't seem to understand loudness here.

I don't think it's about scientific understanding but rather about using the same descriptive words as everyone else in the audio world.

>This is exactly the opposite effect of DRC (dynamic range compression). Music gets less punchier

Yes, you're right (scientifically), but "punchier" as a description for less dynamic range already has a long standing and widespread use. E.g. See numerous examples about adding more compression to reduce the dynamic range to get a punchier sound:

There're thousands of companies in Russia using Telegram as main communication tool.
In the US, this varies per state. In most states, though, it is illegal to "unnecessarily" honk your horn. But as the sibling commented about the UK, it's rarely enforced and is at the discretion of the officer.

I don't think most people know it is illegal.

For the record you don't need to use Tor in conversations, it depends on your threat model but using Tor protects against middle man figuring out which services do you use. If you use third party server even when the message is encrypted you are leaking metadata (where do you log in from, who do you contact).
I hope I will be able to adopt this attitude some time, because right now, the imperfections really bum me out.
Are you kidding me, you can't even click on hyperlinks in that "desktop" app. You have to copy-paste them manually in your browser.

Edit:

It seems the links do open, but they open silently in one of my minimized browser Windows. And of course it opens in chrome even though my default browser is Safari. Wonderful quality.
Emacs has a different way of doing just about everything than the rest of the desktop environment. Kill ring vs clipboard. Emacs windows/frames vs GUI tabs/windows. Subshells vs ⌘Tab to Terminal. C-X C-C vs ⌘Q. Actually, all the default keybindings are gratuitously different from other text applications.

Most of these are different because Emacs invented them for non-GUI terminals before any conventions existed. But now it's just cognitive overhead to have two ways to do everything, depending on which app is active.

It's powerful, but I believe I'm stuck on a suboptimal local maximum. A similarly powerful IDE better integrated with the rest of the system would be better, but unlearning and relearning is more effort than I'm willing to invest at any time.

The size of the community matters if you want third-party add-ons.

My understanding is that we're unable to created effective vaccines against RNA viruses as RNA replication doesn't have the built-in "checksum" mechanism that DNA has. When DNA replicates, because the two strands of the helix are essentially mirror images of each other, it is easier to create an exact copy without mutations. RNA, not having this property, allows for more mutations during replication. This increased mutation rate is what causes the viruses to change so quickly and what makes the vaccines we create quickly useless against the changed virus.
Hey I made that! Never would've thought it'd be shared here. Makes me very happy :)
> For example, the user downloads a printer app on their phone that contains a master pubkey. On the other side, the printer would have a device pubkey signed with the master private key. When the phone receives a new printer message, it first veriffies the key signature to ensure that it actually came from a legitimate printer.

To further increase security, the certificate (signed pubkey) presented should also contain some unique per-device identifier (serial number or some PIN code or something). Otherwise attacker could possibly extract keys from a similar device to conduct the attack.
> Overpopulation is already a problem, everywhere you look: pollution, climate change, depleted marine stocks, loss of biodiversity, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, melting ice caps, resource wars, all have one single root cause: too many people fighting over too little planet.

No, there is not one single problem. I can just as easily blame incorrect market structures which enable negative externalities. A carbon tax corrects one such market distortion, for instance.

The Earth can support many more humans than are currently living if our production methods didn't allow for negative externalities.
It's definitely not just the media, it's throughout the culture at this point. When it comes to agenda on both broad political sides, it has largely become a scenario of: if you're not with us 100%, then you're on the other side and against us / evil.

The political machine is now fully running on that. The extremism of the partisans in the US is at fever pitch.

This is fundamentally how someone like Matt Damon gets lit on fire - plausibly nearly having his career destroyed - for saying perfectly reasonable and rational things, while simultaneously fully agreeing with the MeToo movement. There is no room for anything except for extremism and absolute agreement. If you so much as tilt your head the wrong way at the wrong time the political correctness machine will destroy you. Damon made the mistake of thinking you can still ask questions and call for reason to be in any of the hot topic discussions in the culture. Reason is out the window, it's all emotionalism all the time, spiked to the nth level.
I don't think you're supposed to be infectious for more than a week plus a couple of days at most. Admittedly, there is a short time window where you might be shedding while still asymptomatic. Still, as long as you keep your hands clean (which you should do anyways) and don't cough on people (which you won't if you're asymptomatic) and maybe refrain from shaking hands for a few extra days after having been ill the remaining risks are negligible. We're already entering regions of unlikelihood here where we're bordering on picking nits. You could just as well stand next to a road and yell at the drivers for gassing civilians.
You might like Seattle. It's illegal to honk except for emergencies[1]. But even if it weren't illegal, no one would do it anyway.

> Informed people should be absolutely allergic to the suggestion that someone promoting or opposing a given policy does do because they have malicious intent

This. Once you dig into the research, or just have a lot of conversations with people who have opposing viewpoints, you realize that the vast majority i.e. 99% of people have the same goals and well-meaning intentions. For example, conservatives and democrats both want to maximize human flourishing, they both want people to be happy, they want to prevent poverty and provide people with an environment that maximizes well being for everyone. All sides come from this same starting place morally.

Its on the best pathway to achieve our common goals that people differ in opinions. This is why I always advocate for more scientific method in politics and governmental processes, we need better data and models and we need to test those models so we can better discern which paths are best towards reaching our common goals.

> I guess I see your point; there might be people who dislike crime and have done their homework on the policy, and the model unfairly labels them as dupes.

That's exactly what I was trying to say.
Thank you for putting it down so clearly.
>> Perhaps it is part of the point, but the stigmatized narrative is no more correct according to the 4Q model than the sanctioned one. That is it appears to map 'troglodytes' as morally virtuous.

Your first statement is often correct, the stigmatized narrative may not be "correct". But no-one is trying to say the 'troglodytes' are morally virtuous either, and suggesting that's what TFA is trying to claim would be it's own attack on the model.

The whole point is that the model contains 4 types of people and the media will only allow for the existence to 2. Anyone that may have something valid to say that doesn't agree with the agenda is dumped into the lower left quadrant even though that may not be who they are.
agree with the other posters, could you guys please publish something on what you're doing?
Yup, I wear my Bose noise-cancelling headphones on the subway most of the time without music -- it just takes the edge off the rumble, the noise, the screeching.

It works really well on the subway, since the frequencies tend to be lower (similar to planes). Outdoors it's less effective, since the bothersome noises are the higher-frequency sirens, the beep of backing up, jackhammers...
Ugh. No. You need vendors having common interest banding together to standardize on some parts for everyone's profit (what WHATWG essentially was).

Otherwise, no matter what the committee does, it's doomed to fail because there is no incentive to support them.

And given that no one wants interop with their systems (except for some users, but who cares about them?), an interest group is unlikely to appear.

I don't understand. What other side? And why are Filipinos special? How is that fundamentally different from any other race-based selection?
Yeah... This article seems just as pandering and guilty of conflating ideas and moral value as the media personalities it's trying to predict.

> Wayland doesn't grant Wayland clients permission to those resources, but without further sandboxing and using technologies like Linux namespaces, AppArmor, SELinux, ... that's completely useless in itself. Wayland only makes it harder/impossible for trustworthy applications to do their job, while malicious applications just take one of the many other routes to get what they want.

What you described is exactly the paper of Flatpak, I think it even used SELinux for it. AFAIK, Flatpak with Wayland is a good way to sandbox apps on Linux.

> Once you dig into the research, or just have a lot of conversations with people who have opposing viewpoints, you realize that the vast majority i.e. 99% of people have the same goals and well-meaning intentions.

Suppose counterfactually that one side or both sides are in fact motivated by malice. Do you think you would be able to detect this by examining their officially stated desires and morality?

Nearly all people want to think of themselves as morally good and are good at telling stories (often to themselves) about why they are good. This doesn't provide strong evidence that they are in fact good.
Rather than an "inflection point", I would think of it as a phase transition between the phase where new jobs are being created fast enough to replace those lost due to automation, and the phase where new jobs aren't being created fast enough.

Also, instead of a thinking in terms of a "backlog", I feel like the average human only has a roughly fixed amount of ability, while hardware+software is increasing in capability all the time, such that it might become more cost-effective than any human worker for any economically valuable task eventually.

Yes, humans are very flexible, and the same body+mind that can live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle can also live a modern office worker's lifestyle, but we're never going to be able to outrun a car, or beat a specialised chess AI.

There is no law of economics which says that the economy will always create jobs which humans can do better and cheaper than machines, unfortunately.
I prepare for interviews but rather than rehearsing technicalities I make sure I know all I can about the company, I think about what problems I might encounter in the role and what solutions might look like, and I think how my skills and experience might benefit the company.
I'm not sure if it's normal, but I can flex the muscles inside my ears. When I do it I can hear the muscles trembling loudly which overpowers other sounds. It helps reduce the noise level and pain if there is a loud noise, especially when I cannot put my fingers in my ears.

I started with Jekyll which had tons of freely available themes (no link) then went on to Hexo but it was slow ( https://100dayz.js.org ) compared to my next one Hugo (no link again) but Hugo was the fastest to generate since its made in Go. Then I used different documentation generator like Docute ( https://datastructures.js.org ) & Docsify, etc...

Then now. Personal opinion but I love Gatsby ( https://www.gatsbyjs.org ). For me, it is the best static site generator out there. Yes more than static site generator as it is a PWA by default. It is infinitely scalable. It prefetches content before its loaded (think about this as you get the data of Previous Blog Post & Next Blog Post when you are on the Current Blog Post). Its so fast that you will actually feel the speed. Also, with little efforts you can make it work offline too.
I'm guessing that Filipinos aren't obviously "white" or "black", and thus get to dodge all of the baggage that Americans have about the topic of race.

Just another guess: "Filipino" is also associated with a single geographic place, unlike most of the other races that Americans typically think about.

I don't understand the relevance of your response to my post, and wonder if you meant to reply to a parent. We are in the thread about Foxconn, talking about implications.

My point was that at a macro level, automation seems to be a steady process that's gone on for much longer than any of us have been alive. But right now, it seems fashionable to assume a sudden discontinuous increase in the rate of automation is right around the corner. This only makes sense to me if there is a lot of "low hanging fruit" that people have not been automating until now. Which I think is implausible.

Social media is not a mirror of society.

When I go and spend time with friends or family, I’m doing it fairly unrestrained and of my own will. Sitting around a dinner table chatting about whatever only involves the people at the dinner table.

Social media takes this idea and tries to move it into a browser seemingly innocuously, but adds algorithms and manipulations all with an end goal of selling attention to advertisers and personal information to marketing companies.

It may feel like it’s just the real world society except online, but every little interaction is so drastically transformed, you’re left with something completely different.

The deeper point is that it doesn't matter if the promotor of a policy "are in fact good". This is largely unknowable and the tribe-based proxy that many people have come up with ("my tribe is good, so the policies my tribe propose must be good") is rather insufficient.

What matters is if the policy is good.
Anicdote: in my teens I worked on a turkey egg production farm. Due to this it was mandatory for me to get a flu shot. Every single time I had one, I would vomit a few hours later and have other flu symptoms for a day or two.

My dad hasn't had the shot in my life time yet. I don't know if he ever had it before I was old enough to remember. He's now 52 and I can only recall two times he ever had the flu
