> > All I want to know is where to put my fingers. Note length, tempo, [...] is minor in comparison

> NO!!! Music is the combination of rhythm and pitch. In many cases rythm is more important than pitch!

Lots of folks have jumped on this line, but surely if we put on our principle-of-charity hats we can presume that the author is saying rhythm's not important for the purposes of their notation - e.g. because it's meant for learners playing songs they're already familiar with.

They're presumably not claiming rhythm is unimportant period - nobody who's heard music thinks that.
If the /rss query always return the current front page order articles, then I wonder how RSS subscription services work to mark some of them read and some not.

Should probably need to know how RSS actually works.

Dogs fail the mirror test.

They are certainly quite intelligent, but technically don't meet the criteria for self-awareness.

And the scent thing where they spend less time on their own scent, or don't mark over their own scent, is dissmissed as a reflexive action.
Thanks for a detailed reply and analysis. There’s nothing I can disagree in these since it is an attempt to explain further why we do what we do. Also replying to other comments as well, life might leave one without much choice when especially living under deprived conditions and having family. But again it’s all about choices. I think downvotes are to the tone of the comment rather than the statement itself. Fair enough.
No the steel material was dug up in India, but it was Middle Eastern blacksmiths that made it what it was.
Sana. I'll spare you the stories, but it fit all criteria and we're yet to have a spelling or pronunciation problem across many borders.
"Hell freezes over"

Honestly this is potentially one of the most monumental events in Open Source. To have Linus himself say it's not okay to treat people like garbage, and seek actual help in correcting his behavior, will set such a wonderful precedent if he follows through properly. I admire someone who can do things one way for nearly thirty years, and then say, Hey guys, I was wrong.
Hmm...not sure.

My wife (25) has the name Lisa, which is the mother of all fad names: Not even in the top 500 U.S. female names today, but it was #1 for eight years straight during the 1960s.

She doesn't really love the fact that "Lisa" almost always refers to a 45-60 year old woman.

How to Drive Traffic from Quora by Sharing Links
Not sure about worth, they cost more.
Might be useful to some: i realized some time ago (yeah it took me a while...) that most websites that don't have a RSS feed do have a Facebook page.
So now i just add those Facebook pages as RSS feeds in my reader and i can follow with RSS those websites that don't have a RSS feed.
At least Facebook is useful now.... :-)

"The big rewrite" could be adopting the system of a different country that has more desirable outcomes. I only know a little about zoning, but from what I've heard Japanese zoning is rather simple and doesn't seem to produce endless sprawl.
The irony is that I saw this headline using an RSS reader. That's how I read the Hacker News stories.

So sad to see an article written about Nuclear energy origin without the origin being mentioned. The origin of Nuclear energy was Zimbabwe mines where it was called Uranium. European physicists get all the credit.

By contrast, the polarizing political movements of 21st-century Europe demand much less of their adherents. They don’t require belief in a full-blown ideology, and thus they don’t require violence or terror police. They don’t force people to believe that black is white, war is peace, and state farms have achieved 1,000 percent of their planned production. Most of them don’t deploy propaganda that conflicts with everyday reality. And yet all of them depend, if not on a Big Lie, then on what the historian Timothy Snyder once told me should be called the Medium-Size Lie, or perhaps a clutch of Medium-Size Lies.

This is an interesting theory. The author says that for Poland, the "medium size lie" is that "a nefarious plot brought down the president’s plane in April 2010". And for Hungary, "It is the belief, shared by the Russian government and the American alt-right, in the superhuman powers of George Soros, the Hungarian Jewish billionaire who is supposedly plotting to bring down the nation through the deliberate importation of migrants, even though no such migrants exist in Hungary."

What is the equivalent "medium size lie" for other countries? As an American, I'm particularly interested in what people think the lie currently is for America. Are there just two main lies, that each major political party believes about the other? Or are there combinatorially many, what each subfaction believes about each other subfaction? Can opposite answers to the same question be the same lie? I'm not interested in debating whether any particular lie is actually true, and more interesting to hear what people believe, and to try to understand why they believe it.
There is a free version where you can only install two apps and have five users:

But it's open source, so if you can life without the automatic updates and the app store (install apps and updates manually through their cli utility) you can still install more apps.
That's it? Time has been so influential; it's so hard to fathom that it could go for $190M.

Ask HN: Need a website that correlates Airport safety with weather events
Is there a website that can correlate when airports are inaccessible at various times of the year due to storms, typhoons, snow etc. based on past events ?

E.g.

- September : Typhoon in Hong Kong in 2018

You just answer your own question? With RSS you'd only use app when you feel like to involve, but social media platforms generally want you to stay in the app, hence no incentives.
Your post is blatantly wrong and is trying to subtly conflate digging up raw materials with making those material into something useful. Who gets credit for Nuclear Energy? The mines in Africa where Uranium is dug up or the scientists in Europe who made it into something. Middle eastern blacksmiths developed Damascus steel. Middle Eastern merchants also managed the mines in the western part of India (modern day Pakistan) that dug up the material.
Great advice, thank you.

The Bezos backlash: Is 'big philanthropy' a charade?
There is a common theme in the USA and Europe.

People are tired of subsidising ethnic underclasses, who commit most of the crime, do not integrate, have lower workforce participation rates, have a lower average IQ, and have a higher reliance on welfare.

This underclass is only brought into the country to provide cheap labour - privatising the gains - whilst the social ills and welfare burden falls on the taxpayer - socialising the losses.

Poland, Hungary etc. are right to oppose this.

The centrists and left-wing politicians can simply embrace immigration restrictions. Its what the Democrats in the USA should do: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/07/the-dem... and it will take away the primary campaigning point of right-wing parties.

Statistics show that in the USA, Whites provide an annual surplus (Taxes - Welfare) of $2,795, Hispanics -$7,298, and Blacks -$10,016.

https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/05/11/fi...

There is already a widespread conspiracy in Europe to interfere with the free reporting of information - by Leftists. The ethnicity data of offenders in Sweden is no longer collected - as it would show the overwhelming majority of offenders are non-Swedes, and non-Europeans. In Cologne at New Years Eve 2015, the media held back the information of mass sexual assaults for two days. In Germany a month ago, the Police held back the information that a German man was murdered by two illegal immigrants, until it was leaked by a police officer.
Don’t modern mining pools work exactly like coin voting? The entry level is buying hardware instead of digital tokens, but it’s not like proof of work is a democratic process anymore either where every small timer has as much to say anymore.

Kycoera is one popular brand. But off late it seems like ceramic knives have hit upon some production efficiency, and there are many brands to choose from.

They do blunt, say after 6 months of use. Kyocera for one, provides a free sharpening service if you mail their knives in. Ceramic blade gets sharpened on diamond wheels, and they have to be mailed in.

You calling Linux here "asshole"... does it tell more about Linus or about you?
Founder here. I'm going to give you my 2 cents but staying anonymous for obvious reasons.

My background: I dropped out of a respectable CS degree 4-5 courses short of graduation (burning bridges too) and went on this crazy ride of building a random company lol. I went about $250K in debt and had to move into my parents'... I made every mistake a founder can make and came close to being completely ruined many times. I saw some of my very truly smart/genius level friends start companies that crashed and burned with the friends going down with them (mentally that is). My friends all got married, settled down got a good job and moved on with life + good salaries at good companies.

Here's why I managed to fight all these adversities and never burn out: I simply enjoy it!
I enjoy the process, I truly don't give a crap about the money but the process is super captivating to me and although my patience has been tested many times I never thought about giving up. I think no matter what happens my company will survive because I love this game so much that failure is pretty much undefined for me: There is no binary goal, only a process and I love the process and am constantly getting better at it.

Now here is my blunt advice and since I'm anonymous I can tell you this: you either have to genuinely love the process or you won't survive. If you think about quitting you should quit and there is no shame in that. However, there is shame in crashing and burning and losing people's money, hopes and dreams. You owe it to the investors and people who work for you to replace yourself if you feel like quitting.

Hope this helps and best of luck :)

P.S. You can reach me and I will help you as much as I can (anonymously): hope.i.can.help.2@gmail.com
In machine learning's POV, this means the models these researchers proposed underfit the real-world.
My question. How does it go when Linus does get out of it?
Yes. Especially if you get the median income not from work, but from your assets.
Agree, some are truly like that.

My comment, which is nothing but a rant was against the senate hearing, and the way it is conducted. It is nothing but a circus to make believe the public that senators are acting for the benefit of the public. Far from it, they just serve to certain interests. What I do not like is that they are just putting a show, and what they do is showmanship. Oh they make all those CEOs behave like a little school boy, right?!. Sweating in front of the principal, nice! How about themselves? For Iraq to be invaded these people needed to approve it. Now we know that all the evidence was bogus. Have we seen any such hearing on them? Any remorse, and resignation? They are flashing light to blind you. This is not democracy. That’s all I have to say.

Thanks :-) Yeah, I've read that stuff. I meant, after about 2 seconds it disappeared from the Ask page(s), couldn't find it anywhere. I'm not sure how else to describe that. Maybe having 2 links triggered auto-removal? Well, must have been, I guess, it was a matter of seconds.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. I was trying to say something about my feeling that having a policy of respecting people because it's good for productivity seems obscene to me. Once you are thinking that way, whether you decided it's good for productivity or not, you no longer respect people, it seems to me. That is often called "losing your soul".
Same thing in the hedge fund space. When you start seeing people walking around who are basically like Creed from The Office and you start to wonder 'what does that guy actually do all day'. It's normally a good indicator that PnL is going to get rough.

But it also helps that the relationship between money in and money out is more explicit in finance. The feedback loop is more immediate.
well i guess there are other ways but as i built a RSS reader, i've added this feature.
But you're right they deprecated the api, so it only works for public pages, and not people's profiles.
If everyone refused to build guidance systems for missiles, perhaps the missiles would never get built?

I think likely yes, because if the zeitgeist among engineers was strong enough to make it nearly impossible to find one willing to build a missile guidance system, it would also be strong enough to make it impossible to find someone willing to build the actual missile.

To directly answer your question: no, I believe no weapon of war is OK. The reasons are all of the typical pacifist ones but I don't think it's necessary to reiterate verbatim here unless you feel otherwise.
From one person embedded in 'reality' to another.

There's a fine line between striding for truth and being a dickhead. Linux consistently leaches across to the latter while occasionally being the former. Fortunately he's realised this now and not later and chosen to work on himself to better his community.

Unlike you. And your 'feels'.
Sounds snarky, but perhaps this is true in that Economics cannot be science in the Popper sense since our experiments are usually too noisy to lead to reasonably falsify any hypothesis.

Still, I don’t think we’ve come upon a better method of knowledge acquisition in this realm.

Well, you and everyone else stopped reading the print edition 10 years ago. That's what happened.
Then office politics really pick up, and it’s no longer about being a team, but playing affiliations instead. People will totally throw each other under the bus when a promotion is up for grabs and there’s real money at stake. Power shifts between factions and people must make decisions about not only how to present themselves in the situation, but how to align themselves. People will gladly take credit for the successes while blaming others for the failures. If you think politics in real life can be a shit show, there’s times where the workplace may not be that far off, since it’s still real people afterall.

People become invested for themselves (in some ways that always true with work, but there’s levels of obviousness). It’s like that with every trending “gold rush”. Opportunity arises, FOMO strikes, and hell breaks loose. A worplace that suffers 0 damage would be incredibly rare, but having the presence of mind to accept it, plan for it, and confront it in a positive way makes a huge difference is the ultimate success or failure of a place.
What happened? The economics of media we're reshaped entirely by the internet. In print, people buy your content and adds in a giant bundle. You get money upfront AND you sell dozens of ads all at the same time. You can produce diverse content because there's plenty of room in that magazine, so have some in depth thought pieces, some witty stories, and some pretty ads and everyone will be happy.

On the internet there's a ridiculous amount of content available completely for free. You don't ever buy content because why would you? All you have to do is click on what you want to read and it appears in front of you with some ads which you'll ignore 99% of the time.

That 1% is significantly less valuable than what that old print ad space was worth, but it still has value. So the entire game becomes centered around that click. So the company tumbles in value because no one will buy print and no one clicks on headlines which don't indicate something that will absolutely captivate their attention.

So the company is steadily becoming worth less and less, and in order to squeeze out some revenue and stay afloat you have to target those clicks, or should I say, bait those clicks.

I know you probably asked "What happened?" rhetorically, but this is what happened and if you were in the same position running the company, you'd probably make the same decisions or go out of business 6 years ago. I agree that it's unfortunate, and we all need to find a way to support in depth journalism.
I think the causality behind the "passion hypothesis" is misunderstood.

To a person, the most successful people in any field, are obsessively focused on whatever they are successful at. It's impossible to be at the absolute top of your field without obsessive, driven, focus, aka "passion."

HOWEVER, having obsessive focus doesn't mean that the rest of the world will reward you for it. You might be "passionate" about the wrong thing, or even maybe the right thing at the wrong time. Which is I think what is left unsaid here.

It's certainly possible to cultivate enjoyment out of anything you put dedication into, but obsessive passion is an extra 1 or 5 or 10% that sets apart the absolute top of the field with someone who just enjoys it.

So passion does not equal whatever metric you would define as success, however at the extreme end of your definition of success, you will only find the passionate.

Passion then is "necessary but insufficient" for success.
