Just because a single entity boots up a blockchain doesn't make it centralized. Satoshi set the initial rules for Bitcoin - does that make it centralized?

If there are 196 countries in the world they could all be registered as valid entities using their respective public keys. New entities could be added is through a soft fork of mining/processing nodes that add public keys to the list, and thus would be distributed consensus like other blockchains.

It's my understanding that perfect pitch can be tuned, and also trained to deal with microtonal harmonies, etc. I don't think it is a straight jacket. Jacob Collier, I think(?), has perfect pitch, but going outside of western harmony is his schtick.

I think it's more like learning new words as an adult rather than a cage. But, maybe I'm wrong? I've heard anecdotally of people with perfect pitch complaining about some music being "out of tune", but I somehow doubt musicians are saying that, since as you note, music comes in all sorts of tunings (and the more interesting the music is, the more likely it is to go in weird directions, in terms of tuning, scales, etc.).

Yep, iirc I was not officially "registered" with the uni, but they still opened up free basic german classes if I was interested.
lol, the entire nootropic industry is just one step above pseudoscience. Nobody I know who has started taking nootropics has seen any measurable benefit from them aside from side effects, assuming we are excluding normal stimulants from "nootropics" and mostly referring to *racetams. Additionally, most studies on nootropics that show promising results focus on things like NGF rather than actual changes in intelligence, and only test one potential nootropic at a time, while most people who take them do complex stacks / take much higher doses, which makes me question their safety regarding long-term use

Given that, to my knowledge, there isn't any evidence that increasing neurotropic growth factor will cause significant neuron growth/regeneration in regular adults, it seems the only nootropics that actually work are stimulants and semi-stimulants, which at the end of the day just make you more alert and focused

It's one of those "life hacks" that gives such marginal, if any, benefits that it's not even a productive use of your time to think about them/order them/etc. when you could do more productive life hacks with your time instead

Buried at the bottom, Levandowski's controversial world wisdom -

"The only thing that matters is the future,” [Levandowski] told me after the civil trial was settled. “I don’t even know why we study history. It’s entertaining, I guess—the dinosaurs and the Neanderthals and the Industrial Revolution, and stuff like that. But what already happened doesn’t really matter. You don’t need to know that history to build on what they made. In technology, all that matters is tomorrow."

To what extent does this attitude represent Silicon Valley? More usefully, could we avoid some ill-bred start-up ideas and venture capital wasted if the attitude of Silicon Valley was changed to include just a little more care about history?
A different perspective, from another link to a Pixel3 review I clicked here in HN this morning:

"I wanted to share all of the information this phone captured about me during the long weekend I spent reviewing it. But there was simply too much of it, and in too much detail. Publishing it would put me in real financial and perhaps physical peril. And, besides, I’m not even sure if I am aware of it all, or if I even could capture it all. What's out there? We have no idea."

You make a good point. I have absolute pitch, or at least something very close. When I was 16, we sang several of the songs from Handel's Messiah in my high school choir. A couple of times, our teacher played a recording. And I, knowing nothing about the history, criticized it for being flat. I'm pretty sure it was A=410. We did our performances at A=440 though.

Cool implementation of a covert channel [0]. I always love seeing these.

In the past I used IRC channel topics to encode cryptographically signed messages which are readable by clients without them ever having to join the channels (they used an IRC channel topic query cmd). This had the nice property that I never had to know or care who read the messages.

The tail end of each channel topic pointed to the next channel to query. It worked nicely for securely sharing info without a SPOF.

Thanks for sharing this. The level of novelty remains high for me!

The GDPR was wonderful. One of the websites I use had an export option but it only gave some of the data which didn't include the bit I wanted and then the GDPR came along and now I get a CSV dump of every table for my user.
There are supplements/nootropics that people claim to make all sorts of things possible. The research is often lightly corroborated. But, there has been discussion here about the subject a few times over the years. Valproate, a mood stabilizer, is one such drug, but the study size was small.

I'd be curious what supplements you have in mind, since you included it in your comment.

People can look at other people at identify who they are...

New DNA tech essentially is giving people the ability to look at a fragment of biological material and identify who they are.

You could say the difference is that in order to recognize someone you need to know who they are. Still, I think the bigger difference is that the DNA ability is new and therefore seems unnatural. However, I still struggle to come up with a major argument why it is that much different.

Do you have a right to be completely anonymous at all times? And in public? My answer would be no.
I'm afraid I don't have the time to watch the entire video but, being a physicist, I can still try to answer your questions. Currently, however, your question

> If time becomes space-like, and space becomes time-like, can we think of black holes as "time stars"?

doesn't make much sense to me. Time does not become spacelike nor does space become timelike. In General Relativity, time and space are not individually defined in an observer-independent fashion in the first place. The terms we use instead are "timelike directions" and "spacelike directions" as well as timelike / spacelike hypersurfaces because they are defined in such a way that all observers will agree on whether a direction / hypersurface is timelike / spacelike. So now that we've replaced the terms "time" and "space" with "timelike" and "spacelike", I hope you'll see that your question is not exactly well-defined.

But maybe I'm misunderstanding you, so please feel free to elaborate on your questions. (Or to point me to an explanation from the video in case you're referring to one.)

As for your second question:

> Would every black hole within our observable universe contain information from all light cones within the observable universe? In other words, would different black holes contain different information?

I'm afraid I can't follow this question, either. Would you mind rephrasing it? My initial impression is that you might have a wrong idea of what a lightclone is.

I used to enjoy Spotify until their mobile app stopped letting me play specific songs from my playlists unless I got premium. I don't want their poorly sorted suggested songs, I want the songs I want.

There's a ton of music on YouTube and SoundCloud, I wonder if it's within their TOS to index the url's of that and just have them play the videos using the supported iframe. Wouldn't block ads but it would on a browser with adblock.
No I meant intuitive like easy to understand for humans. (It is also intuitionistic but that's a technical fact shared by both Coq and Agda (though not HOL)). The reason I said that is because thinking in terms of types is very straightforward for people. "Give me a View and Serializer so I can give you JSON" "Why is my code not working? Oh because you can't always find the head of a list, I need to give you NonEmpty List T". Similarly, proving something is a group is like trying to go Group somehow from the objects around.
For those who are hardest hit by student loans, they have become a pretty close approximation of indentured servants or sharecroppers.

If the median college degree holding millenial is making ~50k per year, but is also spending 50k per year after taxes, rent, transport, health care, food/entertainment, and of course, loan payments, then they are not much better off than someone who is working for 30k and spending 30k.

Now, we could make the assumption that the 50k job is more stable over the next decade, or that there is room for meaningful raises, but so far, the economy has not made this a statistical reality to my knowledge.

It goes back to the days of the Irish laborer. The Englishman owned a farm with cattle in Ireland. He hired Irishmen and women to tend to the cows so that they could eventually be slaughtered and sold for awesome profits in London and Manchester.

As a token prize for their labor, the Irish were allowed to sleep at the farm, eat butter from the cows and grow potatoes in the rocky soil in the ungrazeable land.

This was a system that kept the Irish right in their places, until enough cycles of potato blight and English refusal of humanitarian aid resulted in nearly all of their deaths and deportation.

You are right, pairing often fails because companies don't bother to set up the right environment and processes and fine tune them. It's probably the same with things like scrum or remote work. They can work well if the company puts some honest effort into making them work. Most of the time they don't so everything falls apart though
And yet, 7 years after there are still similar problems with self-driving cars. Don't get too hang up on dates.
Scales are based on ratios, and our equal tempered scale is a compromise to get equidistant steps that can be used to closely approximate those ratios. The idea being to be able to use the same instrument to play in any key without retuning the instrument and adjusting the intonation.

So...one could argue for either or both interpretation and explanation. The note names, sharps and flats, is what is most arbitrary about it.

Nootropics, if they have an effect, tend to improve aspects of cognition. For example, focus, creativity, mental energy, verbal fluidity, ability to multitask (ie, listen to music while reading), etc.

Not all benefits are perceivable without monitoring via sites like Cambridge Sciences.
"An anonymous Amazon employee verified by Medium’s editorial staff wrote yesterday that Amazon should not be selling facial recognition software “Rekognition” to law enforcement as it was being used by police departments and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) without ethical oversight."

Almost all the work hours (vast majority) seem to be for the projects in the sections I looked at that I’m interested in. But the projects are almost entirely done on your own with little guidance. For a project that’s supposed to take 6 hours for example, maybe the equivalent of 2 pages of content is given for it. I was hoping it would be more involved than that.

Still great to release the content of course!

It certainly wasn't a hit-and-run because you can't have a hit-and-run if you don't hit anything.

It doesn't matter what code is running server side, as long as decryption happens client side and the keys are never transmitted to the server.
> So basically, according to The Newyorker, a Google self-driving car was at least partially at fault for a hit-and-run causing serious injury and property damage.

That's pretty hyperbolic and loose with the facts.

You can't call it a hit and run, because Google's car did not hit the other vehicle.

You cannot say that Google was at fault for the incident because they had the right of way. While slowing down to let the other car merge would have been safer for everybody, it is on the merging vehicle to ensure they have space to merge safely and to safely respond if vehicles in the lane they are trying to forcibly merge into doesn't make space for them.

There is certainly a point to be made about what type of incidents are being reported. Incidents like this, where the self driving car behaves unexpectedly but legally are important information as we try to create the regulatory framework for self-driving vehicles.

I believe the point is the technology is irrelevant.

We need to learn to place reasonable restrictions on the use of potentially dangerous technology while it’s under nascent development.

I have to wonder how people make up for never getting into the zone.
I'm hugely pessimistic, but I haven't given up. Everyone frustrated by lack of action is another potential protester locking themselves up in front of a fracking plant or daubing graffiti and disabling a pump at a petrol station.

Realistically I don't think there will be much real or adequate government action until the system we have is creaking at the seams. Dealing with migration from poorer parts of the world, dealing with the cost and chaos of weather events like floods and storms. Some actually buying land 500 ft above sea level, away from population centres. Governments having to choose between martial law or reelection will change views on global throwaway consumerism surprisingly quickly.

I also expect to see a rebirth in spending on navies, troops and border guards amongst the developed nations.

Nonetheless there comes a point (as yet unknown) where it becomes a choice of fix it or watch Rome burn. It might even reach a last minute point where it's clearly cheaper to fix it than keep ignoring it. By that time costs could easily be an order of magnitude higher, and far more dependent on geo engineering that might generate its own unforeseen problems.

But every tiny act from individuals might, just might, contribute to a tipping point before it gets that far.

The HondaJet was also designed to take advantage of superlaminar flow over the wings and body. It's why the turbines are mounted on pods held high above the wings, instead of closely slung underneath like a traditional design.
Not sure why this was downvoted. It's an interesting video from a smart musician with a ton of training and experience. He might be wrong, but he's not wildly wrong. Despite this and the one study of valproate that indicated adults could start to learn perfect pitch while using the drug, the preponderance of evidence is still that learning perfect pitch as an adult doesn't really happen all that often (if ever).

Think of all of the musicians who do ear training for years and never develop perfect pitch (but develop very good relative pitch). That's a tremendous amount of evidence that developing perfect pitch as an adult is vanishingly rare. I'm not sure why a couple of tiny studies with somewhat inconclusive results would be considered enough to ignore thousands of musician's experience.

I'd love it if perfect pitch could be acquired as an adult, but I've mostly accepted that pretty good relative pitch is the best I'll ever have, and a couple of small studies don't really convince me otherwise. It's interesting how "amazing new cancer cure" studies are brutally beaten down with "this is a small study, don't get your hopes up too high yet" here, but this tiny study has everybody convinced perfect pitch is totally do-able for everyone.
I feel the more general lesson here is that zealotry in our industry is almost always a bad thing. Whether it be in technology choices, development paradigms, project management techniques, training strategies, or even just how you deal with your staff and coworkers.

Whenever I come across a zealot in a professional setting, I'm fairly certain they're intentionally ignorant toward better ways of tackling certain problems (big red flag).

Never trust credentials for "leaps and bounds thinking". Trust credentials for incremental, linear thinking....
Please clarify what you mean by ‘accurately’ ... without reducing this discussion to a coarse dichotomy between ‘accurate’ or ‘not accurate’ —- which would miss a main point of what models do and why they are useful.

My very rough understanding is that computer simulations of air flow are sufficently accurate for a high percentage of predictions for many kinds of objects. Fair? If not, under what cases does their accuracy suffer? Do we know why?

I am interested in why wind tunnels are sometimes used. Possible reasons I see are:

1. building computer models of an object being tested is sufficently difficult that it is more efficient to test in a wind tunnel

2. computer simulations lose significant accuracy when it comes to certain conditions ... but I don’t know what these conditions are

3. human or policy issues, e.g. some people trust a wind tunnel result more than a computer simulation.
