> Hint: If you got a wage increase because of a minimum wage bump, you were probably being cheated in the first place.

Let's turn that around and see if you still feel the same way:

> If you keep buying the same product after a store raises its prices, you were probably cheating them in the first place.

Paying less than what you would be willing to pay if there were no other choice is not "cheating". Taken to its logical conclusion, that line of thought leads to the idea that everyone should be paying everything they have for the absolute minimum needed to keep them alive. After all, nothing else is worth anything if you're dead. What would you be willing to give up for a bit of barely-breathable air, marginal water, or half-spoiled food if the alternative was death?

Fortunately the world doesn't work like that; the amount you pay factors in your available alternatives and not just how much benefit a good brings you. Labor is no different. You're not being "cheated" simply because an employer is offering you wages similar to what the next 50 qualified people waiting in line would accept to do the same job.
The lots were previously two smaller apartment buildings. I have a feeling the issue is a little more complex than _just_ the zoning, but the zoning appears to be a major issue from the news and comments in council.

> here is no rational set of preferences that would prefer both non-housing and dense housing to less-dense housing. At some point the meddlers have to stop second-guessing the market.

While I agree that anything productive is better than vacant lots, I do think we need some more dense housing, especially since there are already a couple of other apartment buildings, transit, and high demand for housing in that area.

I also think that it's a bad precedence that a developer can just get the zoning changed by holding their breath and stamping their feet. That said, I often think that zoning laws are a bit to restrictive and could use a broad rethinking _in general_.

I would personally like to see a mixed-use building, with retail on the first floor, but that's another issue entirely.

> Of course, building permits are one thing and demolition permits are another. What municipality happily countenances the destruction of high-density housing without seeing the plans for what's coming next? That is even more crazy.

We moved in after the buildings were demolished, but my understanding was that the buildings weren't in the best condition and may have been demolished by the previous owners. However, there has been a good deal of grading and site prep work going on when we moved in, and all work has ground to a halt since then.
nomachine worked great when I tried it (granted, that was a few years ago). Definitely worked better than RDP at that time!
Dragonfly will fail anyway even if it enters China. Google won't be allowed to do any social, payment or map related business. By offering a search product alone, there's no way Dragonfly can compete with existing eco-system, at best, it can only achieve a market share as much as DuckDuckGo obtained in US.
And internet landscape in China is way more mobile-centric, and iterates faster than US already. Not sure how a crippled Google can fit in.
It makes more sense for Google to focus more on GCP in China. No need to deal with all those political stuff.

The problem is that they aren't being mastered differently - there's a website that lists vinyl releases (can't find the link) and compares it to the CD masters and they're often the same thing. Older CD masters from the 80's or 90's are re-released compressed to drive sales. The latest vinyl fad has just become a new means for record companies to to exploit a "new" medium and race for the bottom - they know many new listeners on cheap players actually just want to hear what they get out of the earbud.

There are, of course, those brands that care about remasters, but I don't think they're a majority of the market unless you're looking at classical and older jazz.
There is the law of diminishing returns on audio quality, as in everything. Empirical data collection is not a thing to be avoided however.

Given that, your rant seems misplaced, and I can't help but think engineering is not the field for you.
Which part or just in general ops with Erlang?

Overall I would say this book is a good start https://www.erlang-in-anger.com/

Supervisors are just a general pattern in Erlang. Any book will have something about it. I like this one: https://learnyousomeerlang.com/supervisors

Restarting frequency and limits are just one of the parameters you specify. So don't need to do anything fancy or special there.

Hot code loading might not be as obvious: http://erlang.org/doc/reference_manual/code_loading.html but is essentially just compiling the module on the same VM version (or close by, no more than 2 version away), copying it to the server in the same path as the original. The original could be save to a backup file. The do `l(modulename)` to load it.

For tracing I recommend http://ferd.github.io/recon/. Erlang in Anger book will also have example of tracing. http://erlang.org/doc/man/dbg.html has some nice shortcuts too, but be careful using it in production is it doesn't have any overload protection. So if you accidentally trace all the messages on all the processes, you might crash your service :-)
Twitter Exec Is Questioned About “Learn to Code”
I'm not denying that climate change is happening and the cause doesn't matter. I'm saying there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Life was better when the earth was warmer and the alarmist predictions claiming the world is ending has been proven wrong over and over now.
I find it hard to imagine such a vague lesson lending support to any view I don't already agree with
While it is an interesting endeavor, two things come to my mind:

Especially with respect to South Asia, there is a tendency to pusstfoot over matters, which while being very important, are also very nuanced. For example: caste, it is a complex phenomenon that still deeply affects people, yet many treatments try to air brush it away.

Also it is an extremely diverse region, whereas it get often portrayed as a largely homogeneous monoculture, when in fact it isn't.
You are talking about hi end. Not hi-fi. Now do you have anything of substance to say?
No way.

Auto dealers will lose alot of revenue to EV. Every media outlet in every major and minor metro areas is dependent on auto dealers, and their message will get out. Every local politician knows the local auto dealers. Automotive is like 5% of private sector employment. The backlash will be huge for anything threatening to kill the golden goose. Nobody has an interest to care about carbon emissions.

EVs don't work for lots and lots of people as well. Half the people on my block don't have driveways. Millions of people live in apartments. Those folks are stuck as second class EV citizens. It will take a long time to build out charging infrastructure, and you'll have alot of resistance from citizens to EV mandates.

My guess is that you'll see EVs slowly climb up and stall out from a growth POV in the US until you see disruptive fuel cost increases.
Yes, but it's not much. To stay with the example given above, group delay is less than 1 ms at 48 kHz fs, largely indepedent of oversampling factor (2-8).
Do you mean what sample rates mixing/mastering engineers work in? They're usually 44.1 or 48 times 1, 2, or 4. Software/hardware DSP effects sometimes oversample interally up to 16x. If you're asking what the ADCs use, they usually have an analog filter circuit for each input, sample at 4 or 8x to digital, and then digitally decimate to 1x, all in one $5 ADC chip.
It engages a lot of primal drives: hunting, team-work, hand-eye coordination, tribal warfare, etc. I mean, we basically evolved to play team sports.

As a Buffett-head, I can't immediately think of another time when he has turned around on a stock so fast. (not counting partnership days, where he would flip stocks pretty relatively quickly, but only after their full value was realized)
I'll just respond by quoting the article:

Why push back against 24/192? Because it's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, a business model based on willful ignorance and scamming people. The more that pseudoscience goes unchecked in the world at large, the harder it is for truth to overcome truthiness... even if this is a small and relatively insignificant example.
> Apps, especially those with millions of installs, need to take the privacy of their users seriously.

This is wrong. So, so wrong. This leads to the "I'm a small dev so I don't have to care, I don't have millions of installs, right?" believ.
It's not simply 'their' privacy in social networks.

The insight that they need to protect their friends is usually very convincing. - My hope is to spread this narrative.
I had to make the decision just a few days ago and as enticing it seemed that previewing at my mail before it was in my hand wouldn't add any value for me. The other factor was that I did not trust USPS (or any
'non-technical-at-core' company for that matter) with the security and privacy of my data. Looks like it was the right choice not to opt in.
The court ruled that he was sane at the time of the murder, and it was extremely pre-meditated. And incited by all the far right material he had been reading.
> I agree with the outrage over FB, but I'm surprised that thus far Google has mostly skated by without too much scrutiny from the general media.

Google has been smarter by being much more low-key about their data collection and potential privacy problems. Facebook's attitude has been so blatantly sleazy, self-serving, and user-hostile that they've made themselves a magnet for negative attention.

Though Google may catch up, due to their questionable permission requirements for some of their apps (e.g. you must enable all the tracking just to use voice commands with Android Auto).
Anecdotally, I only know of unmarried partners buying houses together, but not platonic friends.
Where did they use the term "N-dimensional"? When you say N-dimensional are you talking about what the article refers to as "finite dimensional"? If so, I think you're touching on something about the distinction between finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces.

For any finite n, the cardinality of R^n and R are the same.

I'm guessing that those bijections break down once you step into infinite dimensional spaces, but I haven't found a simple reference for this. Can someone verify this?
Why should anyone force changes into the core language if all you want to do is use an obscure programming construct in a corner case that's easily implemented with a design pattern?

Some of these complains are at best very misguided.
You are putting words in my mouth. I am telling what I actually verified. Amplifiers with lower THD and IMD often sound worse than those with less impressive meausured parameters. Ergo, the measured parameters are not relevant. We need to find the actually important paramters and measure them.

Humanities is distinct from science, to the extent that it's information generated by a specific life-form (humans), and is specific to our specific language and hardware we evolved and implemented.

Studying a great novel, or moral dilemmas, are ultimately about how we process, transmit, and infer information generated by other humans, and shared through extremely high-dimensional, but less structured, contexts, such as language, novels, literature, etc.

To say a physics phenomena is more 'humanities' is a strange statement, and it's hard to understand what they are getting at.

"Treat it like a police investigation" without giving journalists police powers (which they rely heavily upon to complete an investigation) results in a pretty pointless process.
That syntax doesn't make sense. The

idiom is just a clever mashup of Python's dictionary construction literal {}, and * * unpacking. That's why it only works with string-valued keys (which is a major limitation).

Adding a third item to the dictionary literal would require special-casing the {} dictionary construction literal.
Huge props to the founder and crazy story to share about Snigdha. For what its worth, I'm coming across this post randomly and happy to see it in HN.

The internet is very small.

I sat next to Snigdha on a plane once, coming back from a conference in 2013. At the time, she was working at one of the big four consulting firms and was sharing her passion for the Indian cultural market and it's untapped potential around the world. It's crazy to see her company five years later on the front page of HN.

> It's frustrating to know that despite how bad they are, despite every new discovery of terribleness, nothing's going to change, and they're just going to get bigger.

IMO, they need a non-profit competitor. There's nothing surprising or innovative left in "share photos and news with selected people" so there's not much value-to-consumers left to innovate on. There is innovation left in how to monetize consumers, but there's not likely to be much value to humanity in that; and there is likely to be a lot of harm. (Looking at you anti-vaxers.)

Non profit. There's needs to be a non-profit facebook alternative to stop all this idiocy.

He murdered her for a reason: he was a violent racist. His defense never maintained that he was insane and a judge determined that it was an ideologically-motivated murder.

"He had searched the internet for information about the British National Party, apartheid, the Ku Klux Klan, prominent Jewish people, matricide,white supremacism, Nazism, Waffen SS, Israel, public shootings, serial killers, William Hague, Ian Gow (another assassinated MP), and Norwegian far-right terrorist Anders Behring Breivik (about whose case he collected newspaper clippings)."

He also happened to be mentally ill, but that hardly seems relevant. Suppose Hitler was bipolar (he wasn't, but suppose he was), that would hardly be exculpatory.

At least half this article is emotional fluff. It's about 5000 words long.

I feel sorry for the author's loss and the safety incident (curing and sanding fiberglass in a non-exhausted space) she experienced is certainly both hazardous and inconsiderate.

That said, an organization created for the purpose of acquiring ever-larger power tools should have a better rule against that than "be excellent to each other".

This is what detailed, specific safety rules are for. If you found such a space and choose not to have them that's partially your responsibility.

If you do have such rules and the board chooses not to enforce them, then you can make an actual legal complaint against the board. You probably can anyway under some occupational regulation but it's going to be easier with the rule in place.
They have analytics like GA. In particular, they track conversions, etc... So if a company runs an ad on FB, putting the FB analytics on their site and in their apps lets them tracking the effectiveness of the ad they ran.

There is nothing nefarious from the company other than they are trying to figure out what their FB ad spend is worth. FB OTOH is probably using the data for tons of other reasons. Are those reasons dissimilar from GA/Google? I do not know.

I agree with both of these insights 100% — we aim to be both nuanced (that's how our newsletter ended up growing) as well as acknowledge the rich diversity of the region.

> We don't want to shy away from issues like caste. We have a piece coming up on the 'myth of the model minority' and want to talk about how caste politics determined the diaspora's fate in its adopted homes
> In terms of being a diverse region, very very true. One of the ways we think we can solve this is by publishing stories that highlights this diversity.

I’ve checked the site. I was expecting something highly interesting due to the subject, and, the YC support. A magazine startup, ohyeah!!!

I detest this trend. There are more and more startups with worse and worse cheap web design. How do you think you compete to our attention?

Especially true in this case, when the product is the content itself. Put together a few thousands, hire a proper designer.
