The low end thing just isn't true at all, and I don't know where that myth comes from.

I have a room-corrected setup with two properly adjusted subs, and MP3 does just fine on deep bass content.

Regarding solo vocals, the history of the MP3 format says: "The song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega was the first song used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the MP3. Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time refining the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice".

That's not to say that they did a perfect job, but human voice was a very high priority.

And the encoders have continued to improve. So an earlier encoders may have messed with the voices, but a reasonably recent version of LAME would do so much better.

MP3's real weakness is fast sharp transients, such as castanets and harpsichord in sparse recordings, where no other sounds can mask them. It's a fundamental weakness in the format, and cannot be completely solved.

Newer formats such as Ogg Vorbis, Opus and AAC do not suffer from this weakness.
You sure about that? That would mean either running an electric oven, or an electric hob, or an aircon. But no more than one of those at once.
I also do not understand the Linked-in notifications at all. They send an e-mail like '5 job changes' which I actually find interesting to learn about.

But when I click any of the links this information is nowhere to be found. So after a while I don't click on the links anymore and my engagement goes down.

Seems like a lot of the decisions are focused based on quick-wins engagement instead of an long lasting useful experience for the user?
Not sure what you mean. The current European superchargers use a Type 2 Mennekes adapter, but the protocol is proprietary.

I gather that European Model 3s will have CCS sockets (a superset of pins of Type 2 Mennekes) so they will be able to charge at other networks' stations.

its only a 4 or 6 digit number and you rarely have that many of them unlike passwords so i just remember them. its not actually that much of a stretch for most people to do, if you think back to the days before you carried a mobile with you at all times you likely knew at least 10 peoples phone numbers by memory so memorizing pins is easy

Hey Indiainfo,

I have been using it for about 20 mins now so not a lot of time to give effective feedback. I like it so far and also hope that you more Django >2 version soon.

Good luck with on this and I will raise a bug report on GitHub when I find one. So far I like it and would love to contribute to resolving a few of your reported bugs in future.

Thanks for this.
There is a lot of low-hanging fruit available in teaching people from research backgrounds about what we would consider baseline computer use and software development practices. It turns out there is a large population of brilliant people who can accomplish things in Python that I can barely comprehend in abstract, much less line for line, who have also never heard of Git, unit testing, or modularity.

Can someone explain what the 'proper' treatment plan is supposed to be for SSRI?

Doctors mostly advertise it as a tool to help get a leg up in overcoming depression with the idea being that it helps you get your shit together and somehow become not depressed. But when you actually get diagnosed, they just prescribe an SSRI and move on. If you ask what you're meant to do, they'll recommend therapy if you're lucky.

And then we come to posts like this and comments like here, about people who have become dependent on SSRI just to have the same quality of life as they did before ever touching it. But now they have to go through hell to get off it.

What's the idea here..? Is there an actual success path for SSRI? What percentage of patients lands on that success path?

They were talking about this change in 2017, and actually said it will come in 2018,so they kind of actually took too long to implement this.

That said, I'd say the Store is not breaking any records. It looks like their reaction to that is to allow other stores on Windows while taking a step back and concentrating on being a good platform.

That is an unreasonable number. That is 160 kwh of power which is double the largest model 3 battery. This would require everyone to drive nearly 600 miles a day at highway speed. Roughly nine hours of driving a day at 75miles an hour.

The expectation is that people drive 30ish miles a day. This is about 11kwh. Over 8 hours a night, well within reasonable limits.

I wouldn't be mad, I would just choose to take my business elsewhere.

First of all I do not trust Facebook in any way and would no longer trust my bank if they trusted Facebook. FB does not have any kind of obligation towards me (at least none that they're willing to uphold, even if it means bending or breaking the law). I consider banking to be a critical service to me so I personally wouldn't want them to have anything to do with my bank.

Second of all FB and the bank could at any time share data that would negatively impact me and we already know there are no negative consequences to that as far as the companies are concerned.

And lastly, my bank using this even as an opt-in sets the trend and suggests their intentions in the future. Continuing to use it means endorsing the behavior. Like buying software from a company that also sells to oppressive governments. If I have a choice I avoid it.

> the heritability of every trait ever examined is vastly larger than the effect of the shared environment

You're entirely misunderstanding heritability. Heritability is just the passing of traits to offspring, genetics may play a part in it, but likely a small part. Do children that read lots of books do so because their parents gave them good "book reading genes", or because they nurtured them in an environment where that was encouraged?

Dawson illustrates this well with the heritability of tattoos. People are far more likely to get tattoos if their parents did, thus it is a heritable trait. According to your reasoning, the parents must have passed down a tattoo gene.

Heritibility has as much (or more) to do with nurture than it has to do with nature.

The solution to keyloggers is not partial passwords. The solution is requiring two factors! In Norway there is a shared authentication infrastructure used by banks and other services called BankID: https://www.bankid.no/en/private/ They facilitate second factor auth either with an OTP device or via your cell phone's sim card. It just works.

All Norwegian banks use a password + second factor. And these days I think most of them have liberal password rules, in that you are allowed quite long passwords. Schemes like the one described in the post seems like a poor attempt at improving security.
This seems related to the way graphs are often implement in code - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_matrix

Just in that case you can start with any graph, not necessarily bipartite, so you don't divide vertices into 2 sets X and Y, just use the same set of all vertices V twice, so the matrix is always square:

V * V -> R

I wonder if the properties from this article still hold on adjacency matrices. Would be very useful.

But that's you. Some people don't give FB that kind of info. And they definitely don't want the social media identity to be irreversibly tied to their finance. It's not only about what you give FB, it's what you indirectly give to the bank. How long before they share data and that does affect you?

Again, your personal choice could be to post you CC data on your FB wall, you're free to do whatever you want. But you're seeing this very one sided if you assume everybody should be just as comfortable with FB and anything real in their life sharing data, or relying on a 3rd party with 0 obligations towards you for those critical services.

And mind you, the problem isn't that the bank is relying on a third party for things. They may already be using a cloud service, they could also be using an Apple ID or a Microsoft account. It's that they would use a social media platform in general (thus allowing data sharing which will never do the customer any favors), and Facebook in particular (since they have some of the most atrocious morals and unreliable promises).

> higher overall resiliency.

yes. because making a page render dependent on the availability of 10s of independent network services is going to greatly improve your resiliency.

I guess it's a matter of perspective.

If you are willing to count a partially working experience as still working, then yes, you might be able to say you're more resilient because only, say the service to add a product to the basket is down - you can still look at products, so technically, you're still up.

That's not how availability is measured normally though. In my (and definitely in my users) book, a site where some stuff is broken is broken. Period.

And if that's the environment you're working in, you're really not improving matters by adding unnecessary network layers between components of your application.
You are confusing Chinese companies with Chinese government. In most areas, whatever restrictions/laws on foreign businesses, are also put on Chinese companies (private). Most foreign companies lost Chinese market due to fierce competition from local counterparts, not any imaginable barrier. Back in 2000s, Chinese government even gave green light when Huawei tried to sell [ref] itself to Motorola, but only been turned down by the American side, and in the past few months Huawei ascends from nowhere to the #1 target of US spy agencies.

Some of the backstory, in case anyone is interested:

We found this through invariant fuzzing @ronomon/crypto-async (https://github.com/ronomon/crypto-async), which depends on OpenSSL.

The invariant fuzzing simply does a few thousand random roundtrips (encrypt, decrypt) through all the OpenSSL AEAD ciphers we want to support, corrupting any of {key, iv, ciphertext, aad, tag} and asserting that the authentication guarantee is maintained by the AEAD cipher.

In addition to the CVE, this quickly found a few small unrelated issues:

EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_TAG fails for OCB [1]

AEAD: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_iv_length is oblivious to EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN [2]

EVP_CipherUpdate() setting AAD for AES-256-OCB returns incorrect `outlen` [3]

Not really. You would probably be visiting every now and then about side effects and probably being switched to different SSRI. This can go on for years and bring no benefits to patient. Now patient is focused on getting his/hers health back instead of just depression.

2) if the job is detrimental to those others

Sadly the five eyes couldn’t proof a single backdoor in Huawei products while the history of backdoors in US hardware is quite well documented.

If the five eyes hadn’t shown time and time again, that they don’t give a damn about the laws and rights of other democratic nations, and quite definitly use “security” as a token for industrial spionage, I might show more support.

But please show more than some fiction in which Huwawei has backdoors nobody managed to proof just yet.

Not true. I've been on several long interstate trips in large western states, including very large sparsely populated ones. Coverage was never a problem. There are plenty of superchargers. The network is really impressive... and growing! On my trips I met other people at the superchargers who had similar experiences in the west, the midwest, and the east. Met people driving from Chicago to California for example, and they were doing great. You can pretty much drive anywhere in the US, although you clearly want to choose a route in such a way as to visit chargers when needed.
