The autotune you refer to as "janky and fake" is when autotune is used with intention to create that sound as an artistic syle. Autotune is used across most pop (and other) music, but in such a way that that you never realise it is there.

It is similar to special effects. People complain about how bad and fake they look, but this is only for the effects that are bad enough that they are noticible. People don't realise the sheer amount of special effects being used in scenes they never realise they are being used for.

Anyone know if there's a similar service to Privacy in the UK?
This is precisely why "going cashless" is silly. At least leave the option to those citizens that care about their privacy to be able to pay with cash and not be tracked the heck out of them.
I'll add that the same goes for resharding. The KCL sees and handles the Parent/child shard relationship, getting a lease on the children, but waiting until the parent is "drained" before reading from the children. And it handles this through the shenanigans that occur when resharding in non-multiple/evenly-divisible numbers

You're missing the "and their constituents want it" part. That empty lot and McDonald's might meet all the standards, but if your voting base is too NIMBY, you're not going to allow them. These organizations using public resources as storage space are both creating a cost for communities and thus their politicians, _and_ the citizens of many citizens are turning against them because of all the externalities they are generating.

When you meet an asshole you've met an asshole. When you meet assholes all day, you're probably the asshole. These dockless companies are complaining about everyone's reaction to them, which is making me think they might just be assholes

Maybe for recorded mainstream pop music that is true, but we can tell because the performance then sounds bowdlerised and dull.

It can't really help with a live performance and a for a good singer, recording multiple takes is going to be faster/more economical, punching in/out is so easy and with modern digital DAW's like ProTools (which does this by default) it keeps all your takes for you anyway - no need to waste another track on your 24 track tape or tape over the previous one.

Here's another viewpoint:

https://www.quora.com/Do-all-most-singers-use-pitch-correcti...

Fantastic vocal performances were captured all throughout the last century without the parachute of pitch correction/autotune. I'd rather listen to an imperfect take with flaws than to a machine assisted correction any day. Each to their own I guess.
Since you're talking about the Chrome GC I'm going to assume that you're writing code in JS. If that is the case and you have to need such performance that you're having to worry about GC and tacking references then you are probably using the wrong language. Admittedly Web Assembly is pretty new but it sounds like that is your solution, or even asm.js would be worth considering.

Two curious integrals and a graphic proof (2014) [pdf]
Federated CI
A large proportion of the so-called public R&D spending is actually backdoor subsidies to company's normal production activities.

Here in the EU there has been a relentless lobbying push by industry to redefine 'Research' to include the higher 'Technology Readiness Levels' [1].

Traditionally 'Research' was deemed to be up to TRL-3, and 'Development' up to TRL-5. The distinctions are important as there are far stricter subsidy percentage limits on public funding of 'Development' then on 'Research'.

Now industry lobbying is trying (successfully) to have everything up to TRL-7 be labeled under 'R&D'. Sad times for the real research in the EU, as overall budgets aren't increased and the higher the TRL, the higher the investments that can now make a claim on the money.

A single car factory production line development subsidy can eat up a region's whole yearly R&D budget if left unchecked. It's not private enterprises aren't already swimming in public money, but this is a further land-grab on public funds.

An example: at the same time VW got fines for diesel-gate in other parts of the world, Belgium (which holds the dubious honor of being both a 'tax heaven' for companies with rates in practice close to 0%, while at the same time being the world record holder for taxing workers pay of around 54%) was cutting VW new deals and funneling VW millions of € in subsidies).

No, the air quality wasn't the "worst ever" (not here at least) for several weeks- That is not the truth. In any case I've tried to answer your questions the best that I can and I am not inclined to care why you are on presenting this as truth.
Nice save way not to say "New Deeper Fakes - now full body!". This is hardly just about dancing. This can be used to create anyone doing anything. The quality will improve, far beyond the quality levels of the hands now and the other interpolated body parts far past the quality necessary for games.

I had a few informative but controversial comments in the past... that may be the reason.
It's insane, a complete waste of time, and a sign that the software is turning to garbage, releasing major api breaking changes just for their own goals, but to meet the goals of the user. Same goes for frameworks to a lesser extent. If one can't point out any real advantage of upgrading to a major version other than the developers want you to, that's the sign of broken software that's about to be insecure because the developers can't stop or even slow down with it for it to be practical. At my current job, I've been working on a few apps for almost five years and they are all version one. It's almost impossible to keep up with all the upgrades and deprecated packages. The only way to justify it to the business is to point out that the only reason we need to upgrade is because the original developers have abandoned the software and therefore we cannot get security packages. The new versions for the most part, offer nothing new but demand days of research, upgrading, and testing. Ironically the language was the waist l easiest to upgrade in our case (php) because it's one of the few that values backwards compatibility and has sane major version upgrades. The frameworks ... Angular 1 is all I need to say and it just goes on from there. I wish the original developers had thought about this. Finding decent open source software to write apps that will live for more than a couple years is extremely difficult. If only we had some reputation system that rated developers and companies on long term support, that would help.

Counterpoint: "A Universal Scripting Framework, or: Lambda: the ultimate “little language”"

"Abstract. The “little languages” approach to systems programming is flawed: inefficient, fragile, error-prone, inexpressive, and difficult to compose. A better solution is to embed task-specific sublanguages within a powerful, syntactically extensible, universal language, such as Scheme. I demonstrate two such embeddings that have been implemented in scsh, a Scheme programming environment for Unix systems programming. The first embedded language is a high-level process-control notation; the second provides for Awk-like processing. Embedding systems in this way is a powerful technique: for example, although the embedded Awk system was implemented with 7% of the code required for the standard C-based Awk, it is significantly more expressive than its C counterpart."

Stay in hostels. Many of them have private rooms in addition to dorms. Ask the other travelers and hostel staff for recommendations. Book directly and help the hostels save money on the ridiculous commission fees. (It's usually cheaper too.) Don't plan too far in advance. If you travel outside of high season, finding accommodation isn't a problem.
Bear in mind that the musical aptitude being measured has little to do with how skilled they are as a musician. They are measuring things like ability to differentiate tones separated by 1/2 to 1/30 of a semitone, rather than how much you would want to listen to them play.

What I think will happen is that we will see a different type of decentralization become popular. Common platforms are needed or convenient. Right now these platforms are generally controlled by large companies with something approaching monopolies in various markets. For example, Amazon provides services and a destination that help people sell things. The problem is Amazon is a company that also sells things and is trying to maximize profits. So vendors are competing with the company running their vending platform.
Uber provides a platform for people to make money with their cars and to get around. It has the large network that drivers and riders need. But they are also so dominant that there is very little competition and so they can price things unfairly.

My belief is that A) we do need common platforms but B) the monopoly platforms are unfair and C) decentralized technologies can provide common platforms that aren't controlled by monopolies.

So what I think would make sense would be for drivers or even self-driving car companies to use decentralized protocols to make one large network and platform. That platform is open source and decentralized and used by many competing companies that want to provide transportation services. This allows companies access to a large pool of drivers and riders and a core technology implementation, but does not relinquish control to one company, so we can preserve competition and fairness.

That particular one, "career progression" only seems to apply to those who consider it a progression to move into management. That seems to be a minority opinion among engineers, but, more importantly, there are far fewer management roles than engineering ones, especially at a startup.
I disagree - the analogy seems appropriate. The poster was comparing the features of each vehicle in use, disregarding the source (manufactured or ride-shares). Similarly, shouldn’t regulations not look too far past the actual impact of an entity?
i dont know if it counts as monopoly, however you defined monopoly rather abstractly. Monopoly is defined by choice and not by the definition of the market. In terms of e.g. network lock-in facebook doesnt have an alternative. There was competition at a time , but then every alternative 'real name' network gave up. Where else would you publish the kind of personal stuff that people post on facebook. where else would you learn about your friends?
You are right, selling is the wrong term. I will update my comment to use the word "utilising" instead.

People won’t usually believe random articles over statement from government or other authorities body. But most often, the articles never gets debunked since there are so many, and even if they are, it could be too late to repair the damage already done - business getting hurt etc., and the authorities statement may not reach everyone that believed the fake stories.

If there are no laws and there are no consequences making up such stories, nothing can really stop this.

I just have a giant .txt file, one for each programming language. Anything I google more than once goes there.

It's an optimization. Useful for rare bits of code, but not so useful for common things like converting an int array to string array. The common things become muscle memory and are removed from the file.

CTRL+F to search. Most of it is self-documenting, in the form of functions or methods that I can just copy into a project.

I don't think any cloud based tools are useful for this because they're too slow with login and search.

We ARE that far. Any deep fakes you see in the wild are the hobbyists applying the tech to the lowest common denominator. There are professional state sponsored groups creating serious fake video, easily manipulating presence of people at news worthy incidents.
Thank you SF. Too many scooters littered on too many corners of streets - makes walking near places like hospitals quite the hazard. The litters don't seem to care since they're not in the area.
I was restating what they were getting at in a way that could be easily traced back to widely studied economic theories. It was an elaboration, not a disagreement.
Oh, of course. Google is actually really benign. They don't sell your data. They just automatically scrutinize it in unfathomable detail to make as much money as possible when they pimp you out to anybody else who wants to manipulate you.

Please accept our sincere apologies--Google is such a nice company with a 100% ethical business model!

Also I feel like some of the bad behavior was vandalism by haters. Who the hell would put black sharpie on the QR codes or shit on scooters themselves? Probably not someone who uses them.
It is still noticeable in normal performances. You can hear unnatural overtones from autotune used as intended. Even more so when supposed singers use it live and have to stay glued to their mic to isolate any outside noise.
How so if I may ask?
Microsoft broke backwards compatibility when they introduced generics in .NET 2.0. Java, on the other hand, is still getting flac for refusing the break backwards compatibility to introduce reified generics.
I don't think 'would be useful in a post-apocalyptic wasteland' is the usual definition (or a very good one) of a non-bullshit job. It's more about how much genuine value the job creates in the real world today.

Rather than JATO bottles, a better option may be to have an 'electric runway', that allows you to draw ground-power while accelerating down the runway, which might save a non-trivial amount of battery capacity, and may allow you to run your motors at a higher power output than the batteries would normally allow.
As an added bonus, the runway could be shorter.
Ever had to try to get a flight/hotel/car changed or cancelled through Expedia or a similar site?

booking.com works well in that regard. When a room is cancelable and you cancel via the site it works at no cost and without hassle.

That said I have very mixed feelings about the service. For starters it's a parasitic business model, which is not very transparent or honest. I.e. places that pay higher comissions are more prominently ranked. Which is not obvious to the site user.

What's outright galling is their unfairness towards hotels. "CaptainZapp, prices in Sapporo just wen down!" after booking a hotel in Sapporo a few days in advance.

In addition to the spammy nature of such mails it's an outright lie. In that example the hotel was booked during golden week (first week in May when virtually all of Japan is on holiday) and hotel prices during golden week don't go down, ever!

It's dishonest and totally unfair towards the hotel, which I just booked.
For all the talk about bullshit jobs, I don’t recall seeing a single example of one that made me think “yep, that job is clearly creating no value for anyone”.

Dog washer is mentioned. Sure it’s a luxury, but bullshit? There are clearly people willing to pay for that service.
Successive versions of Python have some really great features that keep pulling me in. Pathlib for scripting, asyncio for concurrency, f-strings for everyone. Similar in Django.

I'm sure if I had to deploy anywhere else than a server I ultimately control, I'd be a lot more conservative, but until then, this stuff makes things fun.
Part of the issue here is likely the pressure that dev teams feel to be outputting <italics>something</italics> rather than nothing at all. There definitely seems to be a huge overemphasis on quantity over quality.
I've got pretty much the same experience.

I worked for a couple of startups in Berlin and England and I had to work like crazy, then I moved to Norway and started working for a large company(Software Engineer for the oil industry).

Everything is completely different, reasonable working hours, paid over hours no crazy deadlines. On the other hand everything is much slower, e.g. I had to apply for getting a license for Visual Studio and then it has to be approved etc etc.. A lot of bureaucracy.

Overall I've got a better time working here that the startups.

Good luck in your job search.
