...and the secret sauce of keeping rents down have been conscious efforts at keeping second and third tier cities and towns attractive for business, which distributed demand and thus kept it somewhat in check in the naturally attractive metropolitan areas. E.g. most of those small, highly specialized industry (car and other) suppliers that are the backbone of the German industry are based in cities you never heard of, that's not a coincidence but the result of careful balancing.

In recent years (decades, actually), we seem to have dropped the ball in the counter-centralisation game, maybe as a consequence of reunification.

>This always comes up and it's just like the Russian phrase "and you are lynching negroes."

I find nothing wrong with that argument.

In fact, the actual disingenuous Cold War practice of whataboutism was rather the accusation of whataboutism itself.

It was meant as a thought stopper, to only allow one-sized criticism and to prevent putting things into perspective that doesn't flatter the first side.

Knowing that both side X and Y did bad things is totally compatible with trying to fix them (in fact it's a prerequirement).

It also stops you from painting Y as some uniquely evil, while letting X get away scot-free.

But only hearing side X attack Y on some bad shit, and not the other side (because that would be "whataboutism"), just serves to hide what X itself does, and to portray Y as some uniquely evil figure.

>Those bad things should be criticized, but I am certain had you the choice to be born in the pre-enlightenment world that you would not take it.

It's more of a wash. There are tons of places and social classes I'd like to belong to enlightenment, and tons of places and social classes I'd like to avoid being enlightenment.
Things are much better in SF now too. I remember ~8 years ago, we would call for a cab in SF after going out at night. We typically would end up standing at a street corner for 30 minutes waiting for the cab and it usually wouldn't show up. This would sometime leads to missing the last caltrain of the night, which was always a bummer...

The irony of resources of this nature is that they're not really available on the internet...

My dad was the office manager for a water company in a small town. In one corner of the office was a card catalog sorted by address. Each card had a little hand-drawn map showing the distance and bearing of the home's shutoff valve. If you didn't pay your bill, someone would pull the card, copy the data off it, show up at your house, take some measurements, and hopefully dig a single hole in your yard, and turn off your service.

A resource that you can see today would be the Bell Systems cabinet of punchcards. Every site would have a couple of these large chest-freezer-sized beasts, filled with a motorized chain of buckets, each filled to the brim with punch cards. Each card held a microfiche of an engineering drawing or technical document.

It is a daunting amount of information, and I haven't delved into the indexing of it, but... I can barely imagine it.

Anyway, you can see one in Seattle's Museum of Communications. After that, head a little bit away to the Living Computer Museum where they have a working punchcard sorter.

Lastly, apropos to this, in games like Bioshock and Dishonored I have mused about the walls and walls of filing cabinets found there. I can't imagine how a bank would function with just ledger books...

Higher-paying-than-average jobs are for a minority pretty much by definition. Do you just want to outlaw paying people different amounts of money?

Agreed, which is why pro-housing policies are necessary. Make it easy for the market to build reasonably-priced housing, and have the government build housing itself.

> For minorities and poor people, the EU fares a lot better on individual freedoms than the US does

That's not true at all. All you have to do is go to France to see how far Europeans are willing to go to restrict the individual freedoms of minorities.

Of course, you won't get data on just how much those groups are in the minority, because France has also conveniently made it illegal to collect this data, but you don't have to have exact numbers to see that the French government has no problem passing laws that directly curtail minorities' freedoms.
Yeah, along the same lines, the actual definition of insider trading is a lot narrower than people think, there's interactions that would be insider trading if it came from the CEO, but is not insider trading if it comes from a guy who overheard the CEO on the phone in a coffee shop or something. Multiply that by thousands of employees with "sensitive" information having unguarded conversations that they're perfectly allowed to have, and there's a lot of information out there.
what will happen, however is that the officer will get 3 months "paid leave" (vacation) while her buddies perform an "internal investigation" that will find she did nothing wrong. or maybe they'll find wrongdoing but she gets a slap on the wrist like a demotion.

This is the exact comment I intended on leaving the second I saw that logo. Funny for a product intended for throw-away. It must be effective design though because it isn't even the garbage collection my city uses. That said the product itself may be worth excitement. As a developer working on APIs for a consulting team I'm going to show them this and give it a shot. It may be more effective than nitpicking at my swashbuckler generated swagger.

What are they supposed to do?

1. Not create good jobs

2. Collude to pay lower wages to ensure they align with regional prevailing wages.

Quoting David Doty from Just Intonation Primer (highly recommended if you can find a copy):
"7:4, 7:5, and 7:6 can be identified with the flatted seventh, fifth, and third beloved of blues and jazz musicians". He may not be the most well known person to write about music theory but his understanding of the fundamentals of music/tuning/harmony is solid. Anyway, it is fairly self evident that the blues scale would not sound the way it does if it didn't have these three intervals (the others just being the fourth, fifth, and octave, which is about as basic as you can get)

As an aside, the flat third certainly has a different representation in 5-limit tuning (6:5) but both this as 7:6 are approximated by the same interval in twelve tone equal temperament.

Also:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-limit_tuning

In the section 'Approximation using equal temperament' you can see the tritone represented as 7:5.

To be more accurate with my wording, its not that the 'tritone is 7:5', but rather what we call a tritone in 12 tone equal temperament is really an approximation of the interval 7:5. Look at the 7th and 5th notes in a harmonic series, which interval do they most closely resemble?
The most basic and literal form of an interval is always the smallest possible whole integer ratio that can be used to represent that interval, in this case, 7:5.

As you mention, you can arrive at something similar by going up 6 perfect fifths, but the ratio ends up being 729:64 -> 89:64, if you take out the octave. The only way this would have musical significance is if its used as an approximation for 7:5.

Scales that are built by stringing perfect fifths do not produce a clean 'tritone', hence its relative shunning in classical music (and its absence in 5-limit tuning where the interval you mention is more of a byproduct).

It sounds like you are writing from the point of view of twelve tone equal temperament tuning as the standard by which intervals are defined, whereas I'm starting from the concept that the harmonic series is the basis of harmony and (most) tuning systems are just attempts to emulate it.

nil is weird in Go, and in most languages with an equivalent concept. It's a "hole in the type system"

In Smalltalk, nil just contains the sole instance of the UndefinedObject class. It's not a hole in the type system. Instead, it becomes a paradox in the inheritance system, because it's used as a superclass.

Here's a WAT. Smalltalk is actually strongly typed. It's just that everything has the same type of Object. (The type system has no holes. However, it's the size of a thimble!)

Notably, the Safe Browsing Update API never sends the URL itself to the server: it does a local lookup with hash prefixes of the URL, and only if that finds some threat does it then send the hash prefix to Google (which gives some degree of deniability, given they never know what actual URL you've visited, and only rarely get anything).

I presume the two southern cables are independent components and support independent platforms. Why would they both break at the same time, if not for some exogenous event?

Google doesn't want you to use URLSs.

It must be this. They haven't given a single positive reason, except "users need not concern them with this information", which is so vague it's not even a reason.

Google is still (partly) a search engine, and people interacting with the address bar is pretty much the opposite of using a search engine. So Google wants to discourage that. They will never teach users how URLs work, how to read them and definitely not how to construct them, because it makes people less dependent on their search engine.

Think about it. Even the security part. Google wants to be the arbiter of what is secure and what is trustworthy. Anything that lets users figure this out for themselves, or that can be mediated without Google coming in between, takes away from this power.

They don't show http/https any more, just a coloured lock icon. The meaning of that lock icon is for Google to decide, unlike the meaning of http/https.

Now they take away information from the address bar, claiming it is irrelevant and none of our concern. They just want you to click on the links in their search engine, or some app or assistant thing.

One thing it is NOT about though, is distraction. If anyone knows that users can tune out irrelevant information perfectly fine, it's Google. They are an advertising network, after all.
What a disingenuous comment. The link you provided explains pretty clearly how machines are used, and that is in splicing up the documents and doing first-pass OCR on them. I imagine they're only delegated to humans under a certain confidence level.

You have zero idea what their technology looks like or what it's level of sophistication is, but don't let that stop you from posting this cynical snark.
Another commenter wondered if the feelings that music evoke are cultural or inherent. I think that's really an interesting question!

I wonder if there exists music that makes individuals feel differently based on their background and preferences, or if it goes even further - are there certain chords or progressions that don't have a consistent emotional association?

I'm not aware of any, but I'm not an expert in the field.

FWIW there's also a Python emulator for the Wirth RISC. It's slow. It's written to be easy to inspect and trace in a debugger so it does a lot of extra work to "spell out" events in the chip logic. (But if you want speed there's the C emulator, or FPGA!) In any case, the Python emulator will load the disk image and, if you have Pygame installed, it will open a screen window and paint the Oberon Desktop, etc...

If I can buy X for $1.00 from location A and sell it for $1.01 at location B, then the only thing I need to worry about is what happens if the price moves against me at either A or B between the time I send my orders and the time they're accepted.

I guess you could technically call that "trying to read the future", but the (big) difference is that the horizon is on the order of probably a few milliseconds at most, not 5 minutes.
