RSU comp usually works like this (using made-up round numbers and assuming the share price is flat to keep things easy):

* Day 1: You are granted $100k of RSUs[1] vesting over 4 years

* Day 365: 1/4th of your original RSU grant vests ($25k). Your boss likes you, so you are granted a "refresher" block of $50k of RSUs vesting over 4 years.

* Day 730: 1/4 of your original RSU + 1/4 of your new RSU vests ($25k + $12.5k) = $37.5. You continue to do a good job, so you are granted an additional "refresher" $50k of RSUs.

* Day 1095: 1/4 of each block vests. You have ($25k + $12.5k + $12.5k) = $50k of shares vesting. You get a promotion and are granted $100k more RSUs.

* Day 1460: You have ($25k + $12.5k + $12.5k + $25k) = $75k of shares vesting. You get a refresher of $75k RSUs.

* Day 1825: Notice that your original block of RSUs is now exhausted. You have ($12.5k + $12.5k + $25k + $18.75k) = $68k of shares vesting.

[1] RSU = Restricted Stock Unit, not the same thing as options. RSUs are like stock, except that it's really a promise to give you real shares at specific dates in the future, provided that you meet certain obligations (like continuing to be employed by the granting company).
Technically, it does remove the cookies. And then instantly you get new ones, from being logged in to your G account at the browser level.
This isn't just about cookies though. When Google designed HTTP/2 they kept cookies in favor of a separate authentication mechanism. Arguably because otherwise people would end up removing cookies altogether making themselves harder to track and with Google losing ad money in the process. Now Google have seemingly decided they want to have their cake and eat it too, just only for themselves. This isn't one incident but Google manifesting thier direction for themselves and the Internet. (Just recently they also disabled sign out from their YouTube app for instance). If you disagree with this direction that is certainly a good reason too quit sooner rather than later. Pretty much everyone I have ever talked to that ended up changing e.g. jobs because of a disagreement wish they did so earlier. It is very easy to sit in the same position and hope that things will get better and hard to see what else is out there even if it is very clear in hindsight.
I don't care about your privacy enough to convince you. Just click agree on everything and don't be surprised when your pics, texts or name ends up in laxative ad, condom ad, whatever else ad.

Oh atomicnumber1 just cured this latest STD, only if he would use our gummy friends he would not have to spend 200$ on antibiotics.

I like Shazam, but I love Soundhound. I've found it way more accurate and I also found their other audio tools through it. Such a cool company.

Congrats to Shazam though!
From the article, about 4% of the energy from the bow is ejected as sound but even that seemingly low figure may be near the top of what is possible, mechanically speaking.

Even with amplification, there is always a desire for more potential volume since that gives the musician a wider (potential) dynamic range. And an instrument that is more sensitive is often more capable of the greatest volume.

I think it's fair to say that the tone/volume struggle is a balance. No-one wants a harsh-yet-loud instrument. And a beautifully resonant, lush instrument that can't rise above the 2nd and 3rd chair instruments will be resigned to solo work, only.

there's a saying in the luthier world : "you can give 'em volume or you can give 'em tone, and they'll pick volume every time."
Ad money is what lets him crush or acquire competitors. The thing that isn't discussed is how commodotized social media software is. Sharing photos and comments and likes is the core of these businesses and it's extremely easy to replicate over and over from a tech perspective. The hard part is acquiring users, scaling and monetizing and FB has won that game. That's how they can take anyone else's product or idea and best them at it so quickly.
In my experience, the blind drive to the cloud comes from above. It's someone's pet project and you're either on-board or not.

I won't go as far as calling it yet another cyclical IT phase, but it has all the hallmarks of one.
See that's the problem. There are people who object to the CoC, and are quite reasonable about it, and there are people who come out of 8chan or wherever, post "SHITCOCK", and then leave. And then equivocators like you say, "Well, one side is being reasonable and the other is posting nothing but filth." And Ms. FUCK YOU CISHET WHITE DUDES[0] gets the free pass she's been angling for.

If you were conspiracy-minded about it, it almost seems like the SHITCOCK posters are agents for the other side, in order to discredit the opposition. (It's happened. Look up Meg Lanker-Simons, a standard issue SJW stupid enough to get caught sexually harassing herself.)

This functionality has been around for a bit actually, you may have missed it. You have to connect your Spotify in the Shazam app. And every time you Shazam something it auto adds it to a "My Shazam Tracks" playlist in Spotify. Been using that feature from them for about a year now! :)

I think you're confusing "more homogeneous" with "less trashy".

Trashy is just whatever the local minority does that the local majority finds repulsive.

A lot of the opinions conveyed in the commentary on HN that are reasonably well accepted would go over like a lead balloon in some other communities.
This sounds like a bug. Could you please file it at https://crbug.com/new?
This type of stuff happened a lot during the dotcom bust. It seemed like good times would last forever. People would get hired with great salary, options, benefits, etc and fly across the country to start their new jobs only to find the business had shut down. It's insane. These companies would hold job interviews and hire people knowing full well they are about to go close shop.
I find the idea intriguing, but it's not clear to me from reading the site what is it for. What cool things one can do with this Node-OS that wouldn't be possible/easy with another Linux?

Also, what's the story for GUI applications? npm is mostly used for libraries, not full apps, so I'm not sure why that was a good pick for an OS. I guess it would be nice if there was a web view as the default GUI mechanism, so one could use web apps as if they were native without having to resort to things like Electron.

And if they implemented these "features" as part of the core browser update rather than as an extension, it would have been okay?

There may be a legitimate debate worth having here, but basing the complaint on the good code hygiene practised by Mozilla's developers is silly.

These so-called "compromises" were nothing in any practical sense. Meanwhile, every web page you visit leaks the fact of your existence a hundred different ways and 99% of us don't care much.
> Resources are rarely allocated to look into things that are not yet (completely) breaking...

This is my experience too. The cynical person in me often entertains the thought of letting a system crash so the powers that be give it attention and resources. What is even more worrying is the hero worship that goes with fixing the crash. Rarely do I see anyone recognised for preventing the system from crashing.

I agree — malicious would be to hide the Google cookies that are associated with your browser-level Google login.

I’m not sure that I understand the first sentence of your comment - are you saying that you think it is an error for the authors to make that specific conclusion? Or are you saying that clinicians should never see mental illness as immutable?
> The problem is that they fail to recognize that there are potentially cases where even though it is a bad thing, it is still the least-bad option. It comes down to a fundamental philosophical disagreement, I guess. I think the computer belongs to the user and they should be able to do things even if they are dangerous as long as they acknowledge and accept that danger. But there is this -- unfortunately very prolific -- idea among developers out there that the computer belongs to them and users are beneath them, a lower life form incapable of making their own decisions that needs to have their hands tied.

I don't think you really recognize the complexity here. Even if you could conceivably 'kill' the task, the kernel would still be in a broken state. It wouldn't fix the problem, it would just create a bigger one - now you have absolutely no hope of recovering as the task that could do so is gone. Keep in mind a task in `TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE` is already sleeping, it's not doing anything. Killing it doesn't change anything or unblock the kernel, it just removes the `task` from the scheduler.

On that note though, it's worth noting the kernel people do (or rather, did) recognize this is a problem, hence why is has already been addressed in several different ways. As mentioned above, timeouts solve the problem in most cases (And if there isn't a timeout, that's probably a bug), but the `TASK_KILLABLE` state was added around 10 years or so ago to solve this problem - as a properly written kernel task that sleeps in that state can be killed like normal and will leave the kernel in a safe state when killed.

Human Endogenous Retrovirus-K HML-2 integration within RASGRF2 is associated with intravenous drug abuse and modulates transcription in a cell-line model

Not all humans have the same HK2 viruses in their genomes. Here we show that one specific uncommon HK2, which lies close to a gene involved in dopaminergic activity in the brain, is more frequently found in drug addicts and thus is significantly associated with addiction. We experimentally show that HK2 can manipulate nearby genes. Our study provides strong evidence that uncommon HK2 can be responsible for unappreciated pathogenic burden, and thus underlines the health importance of exploring the phenotypic roles of young, insertionally polymorphic HK2 integrations in human populations.

...

Based on our cell-line experiments, we suggest that RASGRF2-int leads to enhancement of dopaminergic activity through higher expression of the first exons of RASGRF2, which then results in increased potential for addiction.
I really get pissed when popular software takes on humann names. Like for example , the name “Siri”, Alexa, Cortana are all dead names now and the poor souls who are named that right now!!! Also people named Jason who work in tech (.json files)
I am afraid grocery stores will start this. (Or perhaps they already do.) Virtual sales for certain people for specific products. But it is hard not to pass up the huge savings the "bonus" card gets you.
Here is an old cnet article from 2015 that explains how to do it: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/get-a-spotify-or-rdio-playlist-o... - Probably just need to translate that flow to whatever the current Shazam UI is for settings.
Interesting. “Full” is a weird way of saying 35mm. Aside from that I’ve come to think that software beats hardware in photography. My m43 body can drive the sensor around using the IS actuators to take a high-resolution image with no color filter artifacts. With a speed booster and an old Nikkor lens there’s a stupefying amount of light hitting the sensor. Best pictures I’ve taken in my life and I’ve used all kinds of cameras. So what’s magic about “full” frame digital?
Senior developer agrees.
I have some bad news for you: your perception of free will is a by-product of your ignorance of how your brain works. Every decision you think you make is actually just a bunch of neurons firing, and those neurons were built by your DNA.
I imagine a couple hundred fruity lawyers are wording a cease and desist letter to perfection right now.
You might want to ask why those cheap ingredients are cheap and you will find a bunch of farmers getting huge subsidies from the taxpayers to grow otherwise unprofitable crops.

Kind of like how if you remove all the subsidies given to fossil fuel producers, some forms of renewable energy suddenly become much more competitive.

So when you add a whole cost center for IT, the inefficiencies of the way they operate suddenly make the cloud efficient.
How does networking work with this?

Do your base images need to adhere to some kind of network interface configuration at all?
There are a lot of interesting camera products being released right now—the Fuji X-T3 is another: https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x-t3-first-impress....

I personally think most of these full-frame cameras are overly pricey, especially for the marginal gains over APS-C-sized cameras, but someone must be buying them.
Shazam is the closest thing we have to witchcraft.

They have a caveat "Some shows record their own ads which Stitcher cannot remove". It would be nice if they marked which shows were actually ad-free. It would be even nicer if they put auto-skip markers over the "unremovable" ads. We've had that technology for TV for more than a decade (comskip.exe, MythTVs comflag, etc).
Hoping this technology will eventually make its way to a prosumer mini camera like the lx10. I’ve been waiting for 4k60 with some form of built-in stabilization. Sorta wish GoPro would make something along this front given their investment in custom ASICS for hypersmooth - dream of something like a hero 7 with a bigger sensor size to deal with low light.
I think that, as you are so fond of the letter of the law, in the future you should try to make an effort and remember this:

Even Google has declined to assist the US government. There is no difference here. Everywhere else, iOS is significantly worse.

Apple charges more because they know they have enough rubes that will buy into their marketing spiel, even convincing some software engineers to buy programmable devices they aren't allowed to program. Google doesn't sell your data either, and as I've already shown, Android spies on you less.

Can Google make the web faster without taking over the web?
Our right to privacy should not be confused with access to absolute privacy. Absolute privacy is not possible in today's society without significant tradeoffs. Instead, privacy requires that in our dealings with institutions, we can have the following questions addressed:

- Who is collecting information about me and my family?

- What exactly is being collected?

- Why is it being collected?

- How long will it be kept?

- Who is it shared with?

- Can we opt out?

- Can we request to be forgotten and how?

You should take privacy seriously in as much as you should demand your institutions to disclose this information to you and allow you to make an informed decision as to the tradeoffs you may be making.

It's hardly "littered" though. I use Shazam a lot and always found the ads very unintrusive. It is good news that they're going completely ad-free however.
I know at least in Shakespeare's day (and I would presume also in middle ages) gold was considered to be a shade of red, so Golden Retrievers would also have to watch their back.

Agreed 100%. It's the one app that truly does feel magical to me. And it still impresses people I show who don't use it regularly when we are out somewhere and they ask the age old "what song is this?" Pull out my phone, click one button, and in less than 5 seconds it's there. Blows my mind every-time.

Apple doesn't really need to mess with the tech behind Shazam too much, I've personally found it to be lightyears ahead of the competition. I switched to Soundhound for a few years back in 2010 when both were relatively new, but the difference is unbelievable now. Shazam can get popular songs in less than a second, it's like some sort of musical L1 cache.

I've never used Shazam, but I used a similar feature on my LG Chocolate back in the day. How is Shazam any different than what my LG Chocolate did (aside from the Spotify integration)?
I think the "bath" is the long "a" vs short "a" split[0] (usually associated with north of England vs south of England) rather than r insertion. There is however something called the "intrusive r" among "non rhotic" speakers "such as those in most of England and Wales" [1] which I learned about thanks to this recent research, where "r"s are inserted where they don't exist, e.g. "supernova-r-in the sky" and "law-r-and order".

OP here, let me share a bit on the backstory of this.

1 odd month ago, our interns were starting to build this little project, our goal is to integrate into the current product (a cloud-based BI), so our users could easily understand their database structure to analyze them.

After a few weeks, we realized that it could potentially become a standalone application to help data analysts/developers design or share their own database diagrams, so we decided to bring it out as a free tool.

The feedback so far from our early users has been really great, so we decided to launch here on HN. Please give it a try and share with us your feedback!
Yeah, Shazam was the last Zero to One moment I had with Tech. A true, visceral in-the-moment 'wow' that no social media giant or app has come close to emulating.

The user value to time investment ratio is off the charts for Shazam. I love music and what they have done for it, especially in the context of other music apps like Spotify et al.

Second the Don't Ruin It Apple plea, but congrats to the creators on a well-deserved exit.

Why would they do that? The show was developed with Shazam's blessing and probably a hefty license fee.

It's literally a 30-minute commercial for the app (including a play-along game you do with the app).
I believe that this restriction has been in effect on mobile for quite some time (in fact, I don't think mobile Safari ever had WebAudio without this limitation.)

So, if your code works on mobile right now, it should also work in Chrome 70.

As a developer, it's kind of a PITA. But as a user, I appreciate the fact that websites won't be able to just start playing audio without some interaction from me.

Also, to clarify the fix, the WebAudio context must be either created or resumed in response to a click/tap/etc. I usually just provide some "Go" button and then create the context in the click handler.
I'm not sure why you persist in arguing against a point that I never made. It is well known that the majority of cases of some of the most expensive diseases such as type 2 diabetes or COPD are primarily caused by poor lifestyle choices. Whether effective lifestyle interventions can be found is an entirely separate issue.
