Like I said, I think it was the change in society. We've become aggressively intolerant which is manifesting in various ways. Do you recall during the primaries when Trump supporters were literally being assaulted and hounded, just for being Trump supporters? Or how the media was running, non ironically, pieces literally comparing Trump to Hitler. The sort of stuff you might expect from internet trolls, not actual reporters.

Compare this to, for instance, how the media and society society responded to e.g. Romney, McCain, or Bush. Society has shifted sharply towards intolerance which is making obtaining accurate information very difficult when that information might leave one within the crosshairs of said intolerance. This creates a major chilling effect which leads people to misrepresent their views. Take the state of society today and then imagine somebody calls you and asks if you're voting and if so, for who. You're going to get some decent chunk of Trump supporters that will lie here. Voting is anonymous, but phone calls are not.

The burden of somehow trying to overcome this problem is on pollsters, and the only thing that's certain is that it's not going to be easy. Gallup was way ahead of the game here -- deciding for the first time ever to not make predictions about the 2016 election.
Try living in a country like Japan for a while and you may have the experience of having your idea shit on or ignored because of your race.

It's just a majority/minority thing.

As a caveat, it is still a pretty privileged position to be a white person, even in Japan. I think non-white foreigners have a much harder time there.
Music is completely relative and context dependent. There's no such thing as an absolute minor scale: it all depends on what has been and what's to come. It's hard to derive a strong tonality from just a scale, they're pretty ambiguous.

C major has the exact same notes of A minor, and C minor/aeolian has the same notes of Eb major/ionian (and 5 other modes with different qualities: F dorian, G phrygian, Ab lydian, Bb mixolydian, D locrian... all have the exact same notes).

Even if you think of C aeolian when playing you might be implying a different tonal center, depending on your emphasis, and therefore a non-aeolian progression.

Your ears can latch to any tonal center depending on exact phrasing. With no harmony there is no clear tonal center (and even with harmony, it's easy to switch between related modes, even unkowingly, because they have the same notes _and_ the same diatonic chords).

> But if I just play ascending thirds (R 3 2 4 3 5 4 6 5 7 6 R) in C-minor

Are you playing that in a 3/4 rhythm? (R b3 2) (4 b3 5) (4 b6 5) (b7 b6 R) the downbeats are R-4-4-b7 (no characteristic minor tones) your ears are hearing the minor tones as passing tones. Since aeolian has no leading tone (natural 7, one semitone away from R) the tonal center is even more ambiguous.

You might be hearing that as Bb mixolydian: (2 4 3) (5 4 6) (5 b7 6) (R b7 2), downbeats on 2-5-5-R which is _the_ canonical major jazz progression (ii-V-I). The phrasing implies ii-V (ambiguous if major V or minor v)-v (minor due to b7 of I being b3 of v, establishes mixolydian)-I. V-I is a pretty strong (if not the strongest) tonality indicator.

Bb mixolydian is a major mode, hence why it doesn't sound particularly minor to you.

Try playing the C minor with ascending thirds over a C harmonic minor _progression_ while emphasizing the V-i cadence and the characteristic minor tones (namely, b3 and b6). Notice I said harmonic minor progression, which has a leading tone to strongly stablish tonal center (which is what it was invented for).

Is the concrete seemingly leaking some white powder? If it is, then you have something to gain from external non permeable layer. Something like this?

https://www.rakentaja.fi/keskustelukanava/img/20157/295425.j...

I live in Finland. Here if the walls of a room are not completely above ground, you risk molds and therefore it's never advisable to have living quarters in such rooms.

If you do have living quarters in such rooms, the proper way to do it is to install non-permeable membrane between the soil and the concrete. The renovation looks like this: https://www.vastavalo.net/albums/userpics/13316/normal__MG_1...

If it's just a garage or storage space with no white leaks, I would just wait it to crumble to a degree that justifies changing the whole foundation. I don't see how internal coating could help anything. And external coating helps only very little if it's above ground.

I'd guess SF is so arid that people don't really notice that stuff. It's different in a country like this that has swamps and rain all over.

First-in-last-out isn't a good solution, it's just one of the bad solutions to the problem of firing replacable workers. The idea is that it's the starting point of negotiation, and the employer has to compensate to go around it, and that added cost to the employer is what gives more security with longer employment. It's important to note that it's very common for employers to still keep newer employees and use the compensation workaround.

There is the ACM Code of Ethics that some of us subscribe to. Though I understand if many people have never heard of such a thing.

Vigorously seconded. There is a lot of applications of convex analysis, convex duality, KKT conditions and game theory in ML if one looks at it right. In fact the thats at the very foundation of techniques such as support vector machines (large margin separators in a Hilbert space), regret minimization algorithms, etc etc.

Of course one can choose to ignore all that and only focus on stochastic gradient descent. That will carry one for some non-trivial distance.

Why would a client/server query protocol replace the need to manage client-side state? No matter how you build your client/server syncing there is inevitably going to be client-side state that needs to be managed. You can't just assume that any action will be atomically and instantly synced to the server when you are operating over an (unreliable) network.
If you are going amplified computer speakers (or any speakers for that matter) make sure you buy a set that enables you to hear all the sounds in your music. You can even indulge, spend a bit more then you would as there is a good chance these speakers will be with you for life!

I personally use the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 computer speaker set. These are quite famous for being the best speakers you could get that were targeted/designed to be hooked upto a computer machine. I've had them for about 12 years or more, still work amazing and I've had 6 different people over hear them and listen in for a bit, in turn all of them went out and bought themselves a set as well.

They look great, small profile but made of very heavy solid plastic and they heavier then expected when picked up. I believe they are ~30 watt RMS each, with 3" long throw speakers cones and 3/4" Horned Tweeters each. It comes with well built, ported 6 1/2" 150watt wooden sub.

For amplified computer speakers I have never heard better, to get better quality you are going to have to go with the amplified reciever/bookshelf speaker set-up.

Goodnews is, is that Klipsh still sells them new to this day. But be aware this set is cheaper and by the reviews seems they don't sound identicle to the originals. But if you don't want to spend more then 150$ these should hit the sweet spot.

Is your Business ready for digital revolution?
But why is it that computers are that magical? Computers have been now around for nearly 70 years. It's a technology as new as airplanes were in 1980. (If we include digital accounting machines with storage, they have been around even before the first flight of the Wright brothers, they are even older than any living person.) Computers are also the means by which many, if not most, are dealing with for a living on a daily basis. If we consider users generally as unfit to grasp even the basics, why is it that anyone is still admitted to their kitchen? (There are really dangerous, pointy objects there, which may cause real-life harm, and, if you have a gas oven, you may even blow up the house or the entire block. How could ordinary people tell a knife from a dish and how could we assume that they would know where they put them? Isn't it possible that someone just wanted to have a glass of water from the tap and blew up the house instead?)

Also, I consider some of this very US centric. In many parts of the world, AOL wasn't a big thing. In many languages, people are used to the fact that important parts of a sentence come at the very end, e.g., the verb, at least in some tenses. Moreover, most important identifiers go from the minor, less important part to the bigger, most significant ones. Why can't we tell users that domains work just like their post address? (As in "street-city-country". And there are even funny ones, like "street-city-state-country" and even funnier ones, like "c/o", meaning it's not the usual addressee. Why are people able to deal with this?) If you're living in a western country, even your own name works probably like this. Why this, oh, it's magic, don't care?

I'd say, it is mostly, because we encourage them not to care. Because we say, "Yes, that's really difficult", where we ought to say, "No, it's really simple and you ought to know." The user is still the person in charge. Pampering and flattering the person in charge into incompetence isn't apt to end well.

I'd say, there's a chance to convey simple things, like, the cloud is not on your local machine, or how a URL is principally constructed. Or that a file is saved only, when you safe a file.

Edit: Returning to the obligatory-car-simile, when I did my driver's test, I had to know the intrinsics of an engine, of the braking mechanism, of the steering. I was tested for knowledge of ad-hoc technical repair. It was assumed reasonable for a driver to grasp, to memorize the details, to minutely describe them, and it was even mandatory to do so in order to obtain a license. However, it was less important to drive a car then (you could do well without this in most occupations) than it is to operate a computer nowadays.

Edit 2: And, to level up a bit, how comes that academics are able to correctly cite a book and page, but are unable to parse a URL – and are even flattered for the latter?

Honestly, when I read this kind of thing, I have absolutely no idea what would compel someone to throw away the MVC framework of their choice to logarithmically ramp up the complexity of their apps. Most things that people build don't need anything like this. It is of great concern that code bootcamps are now teaching JS frameworks as the default expectation.

>o compare it to a baseline of something universally regarded as "not peaceful". Assuming you agree that the crusades weren't peaceful then you can't really claim that islamic expansion was peaceful can you?

Though I agree that the Crusades were not peaceful, I disagree that they are universally regarded as such. Many people view them as some righteous expulsion of the terrible Muslims, which is why this comparison is an issue.

>I don't know if this is true or not, but I assume they're referring to the early islamic expansion

Still assuming that the video linked elsewhere is the document, as it matches the description, this is not the case. It may be some other source, but given the difficulty in making anything resembling a fair comparison between the expansions of an empire and pilgrimage invasions, I would guess that source is also pushing a narrative. Why else would you compare all expansion by the Muslims in the 7th century against only a small subset of wars in the 11th?

It's entirely possible that you and the poster are unaware of how loaded that argument is, but it's still used to say Islam is necessarily violent and must be removed.

True. It would be great to show examples of websites that benefit from the complexity of an extra library to handle client side state. I would think less then 1% do.

For example, lets look at how HN handles state syncing. Function "toggle" in this file handles collapsing/expanding threads:

https://news.ycombinator.com/hn.js

function toggle (ev, id) {
var on = !afind($(id), collapsed());
(on ? addClass : remClass)($(id), 'coll');
recoll();
if ($('logout')) {
new Image().src = 'collapse?id=' + id + (on ? '' : '&un=true');
}
ev.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
