I'm 40 years old, starting working with the Simply Piano app a few months ago and spend about 30 minutes to an hour each day practicing. I have zero prior musical experience. I think a piano teacher would probably be an excellent investment, my daughter started piano around the same time with a teacher and she is progressing slower, but I can see that she already has a much more solid base than I do and will learn to play much better than I likely ever will. However I'm not in this to learn in any serious way, just to noodle around and play songs that I like and I find that working with an app that gives instant feedback is a relaxed and low pressure way to do that.

> You'd need to move the towers down to something close to the range of Wi-Fi

It's my understanding that LTE and 5G are designed to scale such that the density of cell towers matches the density of the population. Thus in rural areas you have fewer high powered tower and in urban centers you would have many low powered micro towers.

> You still have significant right-of-way problems because you still need to provide the wired backhaul for these towers.

In downtown Atlanta they have ground level LTE installations with wireless backhauls at heavily traffic intersections attached to the street lights.

This is in front of the Apparel Mart, you can see the antenna arrays next to the red light and further up at the streetlight: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.7610012,-84.3876772,3a,30.8y...

This covers a lot of the same ground as Brendan Reid's "Stealing the Corner Office"[1], which gives a playbook for helping stuff like this work in your favour, rather than against you.

You fit the profile of what Reid calls the "Smart but Stationary Manager" - a guy who is a lot smarter than a lot of the people who do get promoted, but who doesn't optimize for the right factors. Reid's point is that a lot of these guys get habitually overlooked as they optimize for the success of the company, rather than themselves, and assume they will be evaluated on their work alone.

The idea that when you go to work, you are there first and foremost to work on your own career development (rather than the goals of the company) crops up again and again. Even in failing companies, you see people make spectactular career gains.

> That is not how some are reading it. It's not how I've understood Article 28(2) either, though getting new consent each time is nuts (e.g. I change from Mailgun to Postmark and have to ask all SaaS customers for consent).

This makes sense from the user's perspective. Maybe they trust Mailgun but do not trust Postmark. If they have explicitly agreed to you sharing their personal data with one company you shouldn't be able to start sending that customer's personal data to another company without their consent.

If you sign up for my service and I ask for consent to send specific data to SecuriCo for "user analytics and tracking" I shouldn't be able to change that to sending the data to the NSA without telling you. The whole point is that the user should be in control of what businesses are doing with their personal information.

In the first place it is just ridiculous to envision settling humanity on to a planet so close to a supermassive black hole & experiencing such extreme time dilation. It was foolish to have sent an astronaut there at all, let alone the later party going to check on her. But then, Kip Thorne confessed that Miller's Planet was essentially something the studios demanded and he wasn't given an option to exclude it. He wasn't even given an option to make the time dilation less extreme.

I’m one of the first ones to criticize the USA, there is plenty that is wrong to talk about! But open up a thread that is critical of the USA and you’ll rarely see Americans bringing up problems in China, yet discussions about China almost always lead back to discussions about the USA! When china is ready to talk about its problems without referring to the USA, well, it will be ready to become a superpower. Right now they just come off as insecure.

Great examples. The biggest benefit of "smart home" technology is the commercial sector, anyway. A large office building or school campus uses many times more electricity than residential counterparts, and they have the P&L incentive to cut costs wherever possible (such as through smart metering and devices that communicate with one another to maximize efficiency).

I hope that advances made in security for these commercial systems (by necessity) trickles down into the residential space, sort of like how "dumb" construction techniques, high-efficiency window glazing, etc., have all made their way into the residential sector over time.

In my experience, this is when you need the skill to know to refactor to a state machine and/or refactor to some other form of composition (strategy objects, has-a, or whatever).

As taught in school, State Machines are formalisms that fit well when everything can be formally specified. As I have learnt, State Machines in programming help to reorganize things that have evolved haphazardly.

To me, "failing to work" would mean not really usable across a wide range of domains. I can find plenty to fault with Wikipedia including the fact that it tilts further in the deletionist direction than would be my personal choice. A failure to include a lot more articles on relatively obscure topics may be a shortcoming but it probably doesn't, at the end of the day, make Wikipedia a lot less useful for the typical person.

I studied piano performance in college. I do not recommend learning without a good teacher if you plan on taking it seriously. There's a lot that can go wrong. Also, in terms of information sharing, it's very difficult to find accurate/good information about playing the piano correctly without a good teacher (these are in pretty short supply) as a lot of that information just gets passed from student to teacher and isn't typically shared all that openly.
That assumes China becomes the world. Seems far fetched. But assuming western countries would not follow their practices also seems far fetched. I feel the west already does much of the surveillance China does, only not as openly. Our camps are reserved for terrorists for the time being. Pray that term does not get expanded.
It seems to boil down to opinion. To an extent it has to. Though even when there's dozens of citations possible or articles on paper, and verifiable, entries can go because of an admin opinion. (I've no doubt this isn't the policy, but it sure seems like it sometimes. The one time I started to read into it I gave up.)

Plenty that really doesn't seem to pass the sniff test manages to stick around. Though I'd prefer too many edge cases than too few. There's already a mechanism to mark pages with a caveat for needing cleanup or expansion after all.
Unless this is a some kind of deeply sarcastic/ironic answer, I love it as a prime example of how interviewers do not actually know what they are looking for, and most of their questions are just there to reinforce their initial gut feeling about a candidate.

How can points 2 and 3 even remotely co-exist? They are like completely opposite of each other! You by definition cannot be a self-starter and get work done without oversight, if you require to ask a lot of questions to do anything. Yes, it is always helpful to ask clarifying questions whenever you are not sure about something (and sometimes even when you are sure), but this is like the very opposite of a lack of oversight.

Now you may try to clarify whatever you meant, but, oh no, that would mean that you yourself cannot communicate effectively about what you are actually looking for and what you mean, which makes the first point very vague as well.
Is there something seriously wrong with that? The whole argument people here are trying to make is how quickly freedom of speech can erode. In that context, it is absolutely apples to apples when you compare freedom of speech in US, France, Germany, China, wherever.

> something with an event horizon.

... where the vast majority of that something's mass and charge are within the event horizon. To keep Birkhoff happy, and to avoid confusion with event horizons that pop up where a black hole clearly isn't, maybe add that in a small region of spacetime mass and charge inside an event horizon is a black hole if after stationarization electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations in the Schwarzschild metric are small compared to those in e.g. the Minkowski or Robertson-Walker metrics.

I'm tempted to go the other direction: a physically reasonable arrangement of stress-energy can source a black-hole-like metric and that a black hole metric (i.e., an exact solution for a mathematical black hole, like Kerr-Newman) can usefully approximate such that there is a good match between the geodesics structure around a mathematical black hole and the behaviour of observed matter in the vicinity of a black hole candidate.

A practical probe of the null geodesics structure around a BH candidate is surface emissions: we routinely detect them directly and through analyses of radiative efficiency for neutron stars and white dwarfs (whether or not these compact objects are accreting), and a detection of surface emission from a compact BH candidate would rule it out as a source of a BH metric. If all BH candidates have surface emissions, then BH metrics are a poor choice of modelling tool. However candidates which survive this probe and other tests of near-horizon geodesics structure might as well be called black holes, even if we have reasons to hope (or even doubt) that its mass and charge within the apparent horizon is concentrated in the singularity point.

You'll note here that I'm taking a "quacks like a duck" view of astrophysical black holes; I'd go even further and want to be agnostic about event horizon vs trapping surface and so forth. Around BH-like objects, arranged by increasing ease of observation, there will be a predictable (set of) ISCO(s) below which free-falling trajectories always decay or plunge inward (or outward if retrograde); there will be very strong gravitational lensing; there will be characteristic outflows from Penrose-like mechanisms; and a characteristic efficiency in conversion of accretion matter into radiation compared to matter accreting onto non-BH objects of similar mass. These all depend on whether the exterior region near the candidate object is like that of an exact BH solution, and when you have all of the above, and no evidence to the contrary, it is pretty safe to assume there is something very similar to an event horizon dividing the near-exterior region from the non-exterior region(s).

Yeah, a lot of Java things require extensive patching to cut dependency cycles or to make the code compile with the current JDK.

Say what you want about Autotools, but at least the user won't have to install Autotools to build the software. A build tool that depends on Java and dozens of Java libraries that have dozens of dependencies of their own, each with their own set of bootstrapping problems ... it's a tough sell.

> Most public transports reduce the frequency of transports during off peak

Ah, but that's the trouble, right? If you only operate mass transit at the times and places where it's efficient, it doesn't serve the majority of people.

Trains are great for the people who want to travel between two train stations during peak hours, but then there is everybody else.

If you don't live and work adjacent to a train station then you can take a full and timely train during peak hours, but how do you get the rest of the way once the people get off the train and their paths diverge in twenty directions? Even if you do live and work near the train, if you work the late shift and leave between 2200 and 0500 you're waiting two hours for a train every night.

And if you start operating mostly-empty buses to cover the rest of the people then you're back to operating mostly-empty buses.

There is actually a solution to this but it has almost nothing to do with cars and everything to do with building more taller buildings near train stations.

Efficient mass transit requires high density. As long as there is sprawl there will be cars. So if you want less cars, have less sprawl.
