> Buying options shouldn‘t be a concern at all as long as they are lossless - you simply convert them to the lossless format of your choice. There won‘t be any quality lost. Lossless to lossless is still lossless.

Absolutely, but it's an extra step that to me brings little practical benefit, since FLAC is already the source format & is more widely used practically everywhere outside Apple's ecosystem.

> Your format of choice should be dictated by your mobile platform - if you use iOS device or simply like iTunes, go for ALAC. Any decent player will handle FLAC and ALAC, but Apple requires ALAC. If Apple isn‘t a concern for you, there‘s no reason to use anything but FLAC.

I use iOS as my smartphone platform for now, (waiting for the Librem 5), but Linux on the desktop, so that's why I prefer FLAC. It's worth noting however that iOS itself does support FLACs perfectly well, just iTunes doesn't, (I prefer not to deal with iTunes at all, so not a concern for me), but if you use something like Airsonic, you're set.

I do have a set of AirPlay speakers however, since I wanted something wireless, but still lossless, which kind of means AirPlay is the only option & that does transcode my FLACs to ALAC on the fly, so there's definitely an area where I use ALAC, even if indirectly.

Yes the solution would need to be better than these as the problem still exists.
If you can manage it, I really recommend visiting places in the off-season. You’ll get an entirely different perspective of the place, especially if it’s a touristy one. E.g. Dubrovnik in August is a humid, crowded nightmare. In February it’s an empty seaside village.
Don't tell Samsung and Micron, they've been printing extraordinary profits the last two years in the memory segment.

Micron went from being a basketcase for years and a relatively cheap acquisition target for the Chinese (state owned Tsinghua Unigroup tried to buy them in 2015). To generating a $5b profit in 2017 on $20b in sales. In 2018 that skyrocketed to $14b in profit on $30b in sales, epic margins.

Micron's balance sheet improved from a positive $11.8b in net tangible assets, to $33.8b in the latest quarter. They cut their long-term debt from $7.1b to $3.3b over that time.

Samsung has an even larger memory business than Micron. I wouldn't be surprised if they cleared $18-$20b in profit in 2018 on memory alone.

Amazing things happen to pricing and margins when you consolidate an important segment down to only three players. If you slash Micron's 2018 profit by 50%, they'd still only be sporting a six PE ratio presently and would still generate $7b in profit. Memory will be a tremendous business until / unless the Chinese bust up the party (as they hope to in the coming years).
So you still went with them after exposing their incompetence?

That's a moonshot. I am a native Nairobian, and would like to know how you will revolutionize the sector. Biggest employer, biggest component of GDP but still extremely low yields, low income and inefficient with lack of adaption of tech.
Tons of interesting material in your comment. It actually sounds like you’ve just cooked up a viable start up idea. One issue I don’t see addressed in any of these modes of transportation is the enormous amount of noise the jet engines produce. Any insights on that?

I wonder whether it would stay consistent if you gave it a solid background line
> I believe you are willfully misconstruing my position instead of trying to engage in the most charitable interpretation.

I don't believe so.

> You original comment which has now been flagged suggested that 0 economists took the issue of the gender gap serious. By "denialism" I meant to refer to your position of denying that this is an issue at all. That it is an issue treated by serious economists is a fact. You have since reneged from that denial, which I consider a step forward. What you are now questioning is how big an issue it is.

I have no idea why it was flagged because it was a normal comment, and not even a very controversial position to hold. You're saying "has now been flagged" like I called for all women to be killed while swearing and offending people (perhaps to discredit me/my opinions?).

As for changing my mind (or even "reneging from that denial"), I think you're overestimating yourself: you didn't present anything that made me change my mind. 10% of unaccounted "discrimination" would be proof that this is an issue? Even if it was (which we don't know), like I said you can find 10% of people that will discriminate against anything: Italians, women, attractive vs. unattractive people, blacks, blond people, fat people, skinny people.

This whole thing is overblown. There are certain people that want to see injustice everywhere and will use the 10% pay gap that is unaccounted for to prove that there is a problem of women being oppressed, while either there is no problem, or it's so little to be negligible and most importantly similar to other biases.

> I am afraid you are also incorrect in picking out the end of the Wikipedia section I linked to. As this section I linked to points out, the Uber setting is very special because the pay is set via the Uber company without hiring the drivers in the usual sense.

I think it's a perfect example. Even taking away human bias--so, removing the hiring process, men and women perform differently. That's why it doesn't make sense to compare men and women like they're exactly the same, or why when you do you'll get a 10% discrepancy.

You know what we could agree on? That we are human and will naturally be 10% biased towards anything. Not only women, but all groups of people I mentioned and more. Sometimes it's women, sometimes it's Italians, sometimes it's attractive vs. unattractive people. This obsession with equality of outcome creates a lot more problems than that 10%, considering that while you may lose 10% on your workplace because of bias/opinion X, you might gain 10% in other aspects of your life and at the end it just averages out. In first-world and second-world western countries people have equality of opportunity, which is what really counts.

EDIT: HN doesn't allow me to reply to your comment below (thread too deep), but it's not worth it anyway.
But only with context right? It is completely ambiguous if the character is 6 or 9 without some other clue, like which way up the paper is, or from the 4 next to it (if you assume that an arbitrary rotation may have occurred).
It is just a sign to me that doing some rotations as data augmentation is not good enough. Rotation invariance needs to be built into the architecture of the network (like translation invariance sort of gets in via max pooling).
I think it should be giving a 50/50 classification of duck and rabbit at all rotations if it was working as expected.
Facebook has indeed not shown to be truthful in any way. And rhis is far beyond a small mishap where they hired the wrong person for the wrong spot and managed to deal with it for now. A beliveable transformation of their corporate culture would take a lot — starting with a resignation and a self-denunciation of Mark Zuckerberg himself.
Americans not wanting to learn from other countries is just so puzzling to me. If I ever get an answer to why it's often "the US is much bigger than Sweden, it wouldn't work here" to which I reply "then why don't your states look at the European countries? Germany and France have way more people than any US state" to which I get some defeatist drivel about that too.

Meanwhile in Brazil, China and India curiosity reigns.
I don’t think your review can be seen until after the host has also reviewed you — so they couldn’t respond to a negative review in the counter review. But I do agree that there is still pressure to give positive reviews - both the pressure of not wanting to be a dick and the pressure that comes from knowing that future hosts are incentivized to avoid guests with a history of giving negative reviews.

My strategy is to just not review if my review wouldn’t be positive.

Been using Airbnb quite a lot in Europe the last few months though and I have generally found some very high quality and accurately advertised listings — only had 1 that really fell below expectations.
I had that Sonic & Knuckles cartridge as a child.

Sadly I never had Sonic 3 so I never experienced the "Real" game, but it was fun plugging in Sonic 2 and other games.
That's ~similar to one approach in TFA:

> Negative reinforcement was one proposed option. The suggestion is to stand by the chicken yard with a loaded water gun and squirt a bullying chicken as soon as it pecks at its target. Negative reinforcement isn’t exactly a groundbreaking idea and this didn’t strike me as a tactic that I wanted to pursue further, although the mental image of a school administrator blasting a bully in the hallway with a SuperSoaker was enjoyable nonetheless.

Maybe school administrators can't blast bullies. But they can ignore bullies getting blasted. When I was 9-14, I changed schools a lot. So I tended to get bullied. But I was typically the top math and science student, so teachers tended to like me. So when I blindsided bullies, they played dumb.
Is a better ag.
I assume this will be worse in that department than motorcycles. And I assume they kill way more lives than save.

It's because most people don't confuse the etymology or history of a term with its actual use and current meaning -- and aren't stuck up with BS pedantic distinctions.

There's no "original Unix" (except the first Unix back in the day). There's lineage of operating systems.

People will indeed logically and correctly choose devices which wont opt to kill them. In fact they wont buy anything that will ever opt to deliberately kill them in any circumstances.

The challenge is to ensure the machine has a survivable alternative in the broadest possible range of scenarios to avoid making bad choices.
As a life-long gamer, I was almost ready to give up on the fun kind of gaming experience I knew as a child, thankfully the Switch came along and it even got my wife back into gaming, who hasn't gamed since N64.

I hate micro transactions with a passion, because I _know_ they exist to keep taking money off of you just to get an enjoyable experience.

The only game I buy micro for is PoGo because my wife enjoys it and it's something we can do together, outdoors, but PoGo doesn't even need you to buy them if you're in a well populated area.

I like your rule based approach. I think I'll try it for myself.

My main "problem" with organization methods, is that I feel they get in the way of my creation process.

If i'm creating a PPT and I need an icon pack I don't want to think to where should I donwload it, if the project as a folder, where to export it or whatever... Just give me the icons, right now Im creating a presentation, I could care less about how my files are structured.

The final presentation will end up on google drive, or somwhere else "safe".

Your approach allows me to do this, and keep everything organized at the same time.
I don't think the point of RISC ever was a minimal instruction set. Heck, there have been (theoretical AFAIK) Turing-complete single-instruction computers. Is anything more than that CISC? Of course not.

A more useful distinction is perhaps "death to microcode". If you have an AES instruction, that is implemented with microcode running on the "normal" ALU's; Yes, CISCy. OTOH, if your chip has hardware for doing AES, adding AES instructions for using that hw doesn't sound particularly "un-RISCy" to me. Then again, many ARM chips apparently microcode some instructions, so meh..

Who Runs the World – Infographics Website for International Women's Day 2019
Ok fair enough.

Personally I wouldn't buy a car without a test drive, checking the boot fits a pram etc. Doubly so for an EV where things like how the accelerator and brake pedals work are still in flux.

So from our highly scientific study, we can conclude Tesla are cutting themselves off from 50% of the market!
Yep. A huge waste of resources when compared to other modes of transport. Very noisy, too.

All for an elite few who can afford it. That's not helping in saving the planet, people. Quite the contrary.
It's scary that with crypto such things can make it so hard to get your money back. I know there was talk of fixing it with a fork to the Ethereum chain one day. Not sure what happened there.

Haven't demonstrated that headers are not bad. Just that there's a involved, error-prone, half-manual, workaround to "automate" their discovery and use.
I can of course see how they are not criminally liable under Arizona law where the Automotive laws are pertinent... but, what if someone turns off safety features of a device and then someone is killed if those safety features had been on - would that be manslaughter under Arizona law?
I went to the Pollock's Wikipedia page and at first thought that the photo of his studio floor was one of his paintings.

I don't think it's meant as an example of a 'dumb prediction'. I think it's an interesting example that inspires (me at least) to think about how this recognition and classification works, and what could cause this effect.

False positives are only a tradeoff when someone is following. The single most important advantage that driving computers have over humans to make up for their inherent deficiencies is that they don't have to split focus. The computer has no need to check the rear view mirror before going all in on the brakes, it should at any time know the current risk of a rear collision and tune thresholds accordingly.
"moonshot of moonshots"

This is an ambitious and cool project, but it is not a "moonshot" and it's sure not a "moonshot of moonshots". This kind of ridiculous hyperbole just dilutes our language.

The first "moonshot" was when a nation state developed a manned space programme to land people on the moon. A flying motorbike, no matter how cool it is, is nowhere close.

"Y Combinator’s $150,000 investment is an early step for the moonshot effort" :eyeroll:

I'd say do both... in New Zealand we have the idea of an "OE" (Overseas Experience... and every other country is overseas for NZ). The OE often goes through asia and ends with working in England (often London) for a few years and doing excursions into Europe. Some of that can be soulless, you never really experience a place and its people. So you definitely do want to slow down and take your time with some things. But some stuff, you've read the history, the stories of a place and you really just want to go to the place and just "touch" it to feel connected to that piece of history.
I find myself to be somewhat allergic to old books. The older they become the more my nose runs when I spend time too close to them. It'll start slowly until eventually I get a full on sinus attack.
This is exactly backwards from reasonable.

Ultimately systems will require no intervention for very long periods of time punctuated by very quick precise actions that most people are terrible at in the best possible scenario but that computers will be very very good at.

If you task the user with doing the right thing in 5 seconds time after thousands of hours of inactivity a sizable portion will react after the entire affair has come and gone and those are the lucky ones. The remainder will act 3 seconds into the crisis and screw everything up.

What you are describing is the worst possible combination of man and machine wherein you let the machine handle the part the human could easily handle and you task the human with the part they are worst at to ensure maximum carnage.

That's only if you make superficial changes, and is already possible in non-Lisp languages.

What about changing core semantics though?
Generally speaking, in language acquisition papers anyway, vocabulary size is done a "word families" rather than words. So "police" and "police station" are counted as a single "word" as long as you also have "station" in the list. Phrasal verbs ("look up to" vs "look in to" for example) are counted separately if I'm not mistake because while the root of the word is the same, it's not the same "word family".
Honestly the main reason I enjoyed XCOM (the new one) over X-Com (the old one) was that AI felt a lot smarter than me. I found it entertaining in how clever it was. You'd think you set up a clever perimeter and all and oops, got flanked by a little Sectoid hiding behind a post box.

SSRIs don't "tell" you to think anything. Your comment is ignorant about a complex subject.

If you'd "rather be depressed" then you've never suffered from depression.
If we assume that your second sentence is solvable (and I think it will be over time), the 10-22 minute number at the speeds they are talking about is huge.

For example, for someone who works at the Googleplex in Mountain View, 10 minutes gets you to Fremont (less oppressive housing market), 15-17 minutes gets you to Santa Cruz or SF/Oakland, and 22 minutes could get you to places as far away as Gilroy or Concord. All of these are spitball estimates, but they are directionally correct.

“As the crow flies” distances are deceptively short, and the impact this could have on housing markets, commuter towns, and “suburbs” could be huge. One could imagine a scenario in which the savings on housing would easily make one of these bikes look downright cheap (e.g., house in Mountain View versus similar house in Fremont). While there are issues of whether one would want to live in Mountain View or Fremont, the fact is that the option will exist in a way that sucks less than spending ridiculous amounts of time on the Bay Area highways and interstates.

For any serious writing, Microsoft Word is one of the worst pieces of tools out there

Why? I'm no big fan of Word and doing any sort of layout in Word is painful, but for actual writing I don't see a problem. It has good tools for outlines, TOCs, reviews and comments, tracking changes, footnotes and citations (when combined with EndNote) and just about anything else I've ever needed. Hell the equation editor even lets you use LaTeX if you're into that sort of thing. What makes Word so terrible in your eyes?

And yes I wrote my Masters thesis and most of my other university work in LaTeX, so I know what I'm comparing it to.
In most programming languages, a fact like "Foreach loops have a variable binding, a collection to iterate through, and a body" is guaranteed by the parser, and the rest of the language implementation can assume that the foreach loops are well-formed and concentrate on lexical and type checks.

An S-Expression parser will accept (loop for in do), and the rest of the language implementation has to deal with detecting that there is no variable, no collection and no action.
