Arthur C Clarke wasn't the only person who was shocked at the premiere of 2001.

Stanley Kubrick commissioned the prominent film composer Alex North -- famous for the scoring of Spartacus -- to write the music for 2001. However, film music is only recorded and added at the final stage of editing; normally all of the video is laid down first so that the music director knows exactly how long each scene will be and the music can be recorded at the right tempo to match up.

During the video editing process, "temp music" is used -- typically classical music because it's widely available -- so that scenes have the right feeling when they're viewed by the director. For this purpose, Kubrick selected the opening fanfare from Also Sprach Zarathustra for the start of 2001, The Blue Danube for "floating through space" scenes, et cetera. However, after viewing the edited scenes with the "temporary" background music, Kubrick decided that he really liked it that way -- and so rather than using the score which North was composing and recording, he re-edited the video to match the tempo of the classical recordings he had used.

Legend has it that Kubrick didn't know how to break the news to North -- but however it happened, North turned up for the premiere expecting to hear the music he had spent six months composing and recording, and was devastated to hear the supposedly "temporary" music used instead.

Facebook and Google control close to 85% of the digital ad market. The rest 15% goes to the content creators and to the journalism. If Google and FB would not be able to invade everyone's privacy, that would create a level playing field for national, regional, and specialized media to prosper. But because they know who you are, they can display an ad for you on any platform, say Candy Crush Saga. If you are from Denver, here's an ad for a Denver event on your stupid game. So who needs journalism if an article in Denver Post is on par to Candy Crush? Who needs quality content on the internet? There is a reason why there is no VC investment in the content whatsoever. For this miserable situation thank Google and FB. And say goodbye to your privacy and to ad-supported quality content.

PS Number of countries are looking into the destruction of the news media by Google and FB. The most notable is Australian ACCC efforts. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/accc-seeking-views-on-...
I've watched 2001 twice in my life. Once on my laptop screen, and once in a theater. Wildly different experiences.

On a laptop, it was maddeningly slow. I couldn't bear that scene where the spaceship docks on the space station while the Blue Danube Waltz played. Excruciating. I wish there was more explanation, as my mind was wandering watching this dull film.

In a theater, I experienced a completely different film.On the big screen, I could imagine the scale of this achievement, of a man-made spaceship landing on a man-made space station, all this coordination, against the Blue Danube waltz, and it was all I could see in my field of vision. Not distracted by other things as I was on my laptop. I didn't need explanation. I just felt it. I finally felt that I had "gotten" the movie. It was an experience. Not just plot and explosions and super heroes, like most movies are today.

A powerful film is expressed in images! Film. It's called a motion picture. The more a film can be expressed in images, the more "pure" it is to its medium! And most of the film was silent.

I'm glad Clarke got the chance to make it a novel, and told it in the form most fitting for him.

Kubrick was a filmmaker and Clarke a writer. I think it is natural that they would disagree on the telling of this story. Different mediums call for different ways to tell the story.

A computer cant be bribed. Move transactions online, cut out the middleman and corruption goes down. To do this, you need a strong national identity scheme. Aashaar is a good start but would need to be augmented with derived authentication mechanisms (preferably pki) to reduce reliance on the biometrics
Speaker thingy is just one interface, your mobile also can talk to Alexa.

Shareware isn't remotely the same as Open Source, though. It was a more-than-demo, more-than-full-version copy of a piece of commercial software, generally designed to be useful on its own, but not useful enough. It was a method of marketing the full version of the software.

I've got a few CDs of later collections of the stuff. I remember buying clamshell-packaged games for $5 from Software, Etc (that turned out to be the first 1/3 of the game, for example). I remember seeing the magazines to order it from. I'm aware of shareware, and it's not related to what I was talking about.
I do prefer the 4chan theory, since it satisfies Occam's Razor. That said, the frequency of new videos from multiple channels dedicated to nothing but these videos, as well as the monetisation, makes it unlikely. Also considering the number of subscribers the subreddit has I'm sure that if there were any new 4chan threads suggesting people make those videos it would've been spotted.

It's honestly the sheer number of videos that is the shocking part of the mystery. It's not just a few dozen videos from different animators, it's hundreds of videos from dozens of channels pumping this stuff out. Unfortunately I find it unlikely that we'll ever find out the cause.

I agree with everything in your comment but take issue with your dismissive attitude toward psilocybin as "the newest rage these days."

Western medicine is famously puritanical toward hallucinogenic drugs. Human social history is long and hallucinogenics being illegal is comparatively recent. It's an insult to the study of science that such an interesting and powerful drug is taboo to even study. Thankfully this seems to be reversing in my lifetime.

The + thing is common but is absolutely not universal. I can alias individual + emails on my system just fine (which means that x+a@example.com and x+b@example.com are not equivalent) and most smtp servers allow you to set an alternate character (I set it to '.' and '_' so x.a@example.com and x_b@example.com are aliased together).

In short, Netflix cannot assume things after the '+' are irrelevant and Netflix absolutely cannot canonicalize random emails like that.

Exactly. The only 'natural language' exercise I can think of that compares with programming is the drafting of legal documents, which also aim to specify something precisely according to a very particular set of definitions.

Unsurprisingly, legal documents have a reputation for being at least as difficult to read as some code.

Natural language, designed for human communication, is, by its nature, unsuitable for precise definition, and a precise language is also unsuitable for human communication.

It really makes sense once you realize how much conversation and prose depend on puns, allegory, allusion, symbols, context, emotion, and so on. All of which are hostile to stating a thing as exactly as possible.
Those were never in widespread use in the email era. Anyone who knows about them is already technically sophisticated enough not to make this mistake.

I think you have your facts wrong. Amazon issues RSUs not options. The same process is used for essentially all employees. The annual proxy report describes the process for the top execs (Jassy, Wilke, Blackburn) and it is identical to the process for a L4 SDE.

New hires get RSUs that vest at 12 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 42 months, and 48 months after they start. These are 5%, 15%, 20%, 20%, 20%, and 20%, respectively, of the total initial RSU grant. It doesn't change.

You do get more RSUs in future years, but that does not impact the vesting schedule of the initial grant.

There is no annual bonus at Amazon. You get 1/12 of your base salary each month. New hires get additional cash each month for the first two years (usually more in the first year), but that is the sign-on bonus. It isn't an advance.

The only case I know of that does not match the above is for sales reps -- this is a limited set of people and I doubt that many are reading HN.
SPSS user here, I run a bunch of surveys in Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey, and frequently use their export to SPSS file functionality.

Often, I have questions that take the format of "for each of the following categories please rank them between strongly disagree and Strongly agree". The way these questions end up in the SPSS files are typically as different variables for each row, and a 1,2,3,4, or 5 as the measurement along with the labels.

Frequently, I want to pivot those types of questions by a variable like Region or Number of Employees (categorical), and then see the resultant tables. This is never fun, and inevitably takes a lot of time.

As others have said, statistics is a careful business that doesn't necessarily warrant ease of access to all mathematical functions BUT, handling what SPSS calls "Multiple Response Sets" better would be a godsend, just for the data prep and visualization step. I still ultimately fall back on recoding these or leveraging the MRS functional in SPSS to get this done (sometimes this is better than just using pivot tables in excel).

It would be great to be able to specify this kind of thing in this program, since without it, you can't really use/trust the computed percentages in some question configurations. Take a real look at the SPSS Tables feature, the Multiple Response Sets, and then visualization of them, and consider how that data is actually coded in SPSS files (the common export of survey tools) and maybe you can improve on that feature (It shouldn't be hard, MRS is a pretty bad setup, but it gets the job done).

See, I hate the use of self, or this in code. We want to specify things exactly in code, and deliberately adding that sort of indirection seems halfway mad. If forced to write classes, I would much rather refer to the class name from within methods, or something similar.
You have Internet choice in most of Europe if you count DSL, but people in the U.S. tend to dismiss DSL out of hand. Excluding DSL, in German you've got cable ISPs which largely don't compete in the same geographic area, and almost no fiber penetration. France is similar, though with more fiber (but still less than in the U.S.).
Make sure your ears get rest!

If you are lucky this problem can be fixed, but unfortunately most of the "advise" you'll get is the opposite of what you should be doing. For example some "doctors" recommend to have some white noise, background music or other distractions playing while you are trying to fall asleep. Absolutely do NOT do this!

The following observation can be made when it comes to hearing damage/loss:
- Constant low-level noise is much more damaging than short exposure to loud noises. Driving by a construction site is less bad than falling asleep with headphones playing.
- Ears need recovery like every other body part, depriving them of recovery can lead to long term hearing problems.
- As long as there is still some sensation the damage is not yet complete, as long as you still hear something there is a hope for recovery.

Order of damaging, most > least:
Loud over long period > quiet over long period > loud in short burst > short, quiet noise

concert/construction > aircon/fan in bedroom > airplane flyby > phone ringing/insect flyby

If there is only one suggestion I can make, it would be to make sure the room you sleep in is absolutely dead silent!! Even if the ringing drives you crazy at night, make sure you can hear it! Do not cover it up!!!

Also try to avoid any kind of constant exposure to noise in your daily life - fans, cars, aircon etc. should all be avoided/switched off until your hearing has recovered sufficiently so that you don't notice the ringing any more.
This can take months, your ears don't recover nearly as fast as an injury to your skin for example.
Consider wearing earplugs even in you everyday life, when you are out in the street, at work, etc. It might look stupid but who cares? It's about your ears/sanity!!! Do whatever you can to protect them!!
As a second option try taking vitaming B12 in high dosage together with vinpocetine (google: vinpocetine tinnitus). Attn: this will only work if you follow the advise above, make sure you live in a quite place, vinpocetine could make things even worse because your ears will be MORE sensitive!

And as always:

There are at least two very different cuts of the original, so take that into account when different people have different reactions.
I think they somewhat bring this up, but the "midmarket" newspaper business is toast. I think print journalism will go forward as:

1. Large "destination" national papers like NYT and WSJ.

2. Papers that are bought by a "patron" as alluded to in the article, like Patrick Soon-Shiong at the LA Times or Jeff Bezos at the Washington Post.

3. Small local papers will be owned by large companies like Gatehouse Media. They will have very little if any hard-hitting journalism and focus more on the quotidien aspects of local life, e.g. new restaurant openings.

If there is anything we have learned from the Russian meddling with our elections is that they are masters of counter-intelligence. I am willing to wager 100% these attacks were not by pro-US organizations. They just want the media to report it as pro-US, which hook-line-and-sinker they did. Please don't be fooled.

Oh, please no. I've had to play fixer to too many codebases that used interesting tricks to implicitly import code, without pointing to a source. Trying to suss out the origin of a specific function named 'get' in a 100k line application, in a file that invokes, but never declares it, is an exercise in frustration. Less context, please, more explicitness.
Newspapers had a double whammy. One was Craigslist. But Craigslist at least was a new technology compared to the newspaper classified pages. People could post ads on the spot for free. Better technology, fair competition.

But what Google and FB have done is to learn about people based on their interests, based on what pages they visited, what newspapers they read, and so forth. And then GoogleFacebook NSA-type duopoly weaponized that knowledge against the content creators, and it's now killing the journalism.

By canonicalization I'm not saying any arbitrary practice by Gmail or any other email provider should be considered as standard. I haven't looked at the RFC in some time, but I don't believe the use of plus suffixes is standard either. Nonetheless, I believe plus suffixes are more commonplace, generally permitted, and serve a reasonable purpose. For instance, sending email to a user using their email address as provided is a good practice in order to preserve a plus suffix which may aid the user in organizing their email. At the same time, canonicalizing email addresses in a sensible way, e.g. stripping plus suffixes, can be an aid for preventing unintentional, duplicate sign-ups. Just consider a sign-up form on the homepage of a website. It's not uncommon for people to enter their email and password into that form by mistake thinking they're signing in. Additionally, if the website compares canonical email addresses when checking login credentials, then a user who signed up with an email address containing a plus suffix can sign in using their base email. These two situations combined could lead to the accidental creation of a duplicate account if canonical email addresses are not compared during registration. There are some trade offs with this strategy, but as long as the canonicalization is implemented reasonably, I see it as an aid to the user. Note that reasonably doesn't necessarily mean stripping dots.

As for the second point, I consider it a privacy breach if a service publicly associates my email address with their service without my consent. Sign-up forms do this when giving different responses when an email address is registered vs not registered.

As for how to handle it, if a user signs up with a new email address, you send them an email to verify their email address and instruct them to check their email. Similarly, if a user attempts to sign up with an already registered email address, you send them an email letting them know they already have an account and instruct them to check their email, which will provide them with a link to login.

In the latter case, if they enter the correct password, you can just directly tell the user they already have an account, as they've proven their identity.
