Same thing with mass produced vs man-made products.
The melodyne software will do this with vocals, but I believe it requires a lot of manual intervention. Melodyne will "auto-tune" vocals and that sometimes sounds really weird in equal temperament since vocalists will fluidly switch between equal temperament and other modes of intonation depending on accompaniment context.
Minor nitpick but "10-bit HEVC" or "10-bit H.265" would be better terms. x265 is just an encoder for HEVC/H.265 and devices don't decode x265 output specifically, they decode HEVC/H.265.

They do. In Scotland the tap water is really good (unlike where I live now). There are still large sections of the supermarket with bottled water.
Reminds me of a time when I was in Seoul. I had just bought a crisp pair of all white walking shoes.

I was on the train with my girlfriend (att) and she deliberately stamped on my foot. Of course, I was quite confused; however, she explained that my shoes looked too new and thus needed to be dirtied up a bit.
They didnt factor in the environmental impact of extracting, refining, transporting & storing fossil fuels like diesel. Which would represent the fossil fuel, hydrocarbon based equivalent to a tesla's batteries.

Small changes only take a few minutes to roll out on Akamai's network. Another commenter talked about Fastly's POP count. Akamai has far more as can be seen here: https://www.akamai.com/uk/en/solutions/intelligent-platform/...

No doubt having so many POPs (some probably legacy and slower to update) likely extend the update time.

I don't really get this, MacOS is super tinker-y. You can script multi-app work flows with Automator, set up folder actions to magically transmute files (I have one that insta-shrinks the images in PDFs for me and puts them in an output directory), cast magic spells on selected data using custom services, use the full range of Unix commands for text processing. You have Perl and Python right there.

The things that are resistant to tinkering in MacOS are the UI and how you do stuff. Those are infinitely flexible in Linux, but heavily standardised on the Mac. However when it comes to getting useful stuff done, the Mac has a wealth of tinker-y toys waiting to do your bidding.
So, in the end, disagree, or agree? The head spins.

> If they do it’s because the tap water infrastructure (as a whole, up to the kitchen’s tap) alter the taste and quality of the water badly enough...

That's not it. People don't drink tap water because they don't believe it's safe.

People who don't drink tap water usually have no trouble drinking it after it's boiled.

And non carbonated bottled water tastes just like tap water and you couldn't tell the two apart if there were from taps and brands you are not familiar with.
One of the benefits of car-free superblocks is that outdoor spaces within the block become much safer for pedestrians.

Where in a modern city would you find an area 400 meters across with zero motor vehicle traffic? Maybe in a large park. Car-free superblocks bring that park right to your doorstep. It's even better than a real park in the sense that when you actually need a car, it's only an elevator ride away. It's an absolutely fantastic proposition for parents of young children or people with impaired mobility, especially in a country where drivers aren't known for being gentle.

Superblock development has many other pros and cons, but I think the car-free aspect is a very strong argument in favor of it.
> the fragmentation as every studio decided they needed to build their own streaming service.

Don't forget to mention how awful many of them are in terms of quality, usability and choice. 4OD here in the UK leads with multiple minutes of HD ads, and when it switched to the actual content, the player regularly crashes, forcing you to reload and watch the ads. They also only release content for 30-ish days after airing, and then it disappears until the content appears on DVD.

Now TV (the only afaik supported way to access Game of Thrones in the UK other than subscribing for 18 months) caps their streams at 720p and doesn't support an Android TV app.

There's also the hell of discovering where and when things are available. I don't know where watch Brooklyn 99 in the UK and in willing to pay for it - as I understand it it's available on Netflix US but the latest episodes aren't on Netflix UK.

It's a complete mess.
Show HN: Counter-Strike analytics for all skill levels
I'm working on the Counter-Strike Global Offensive analytics site https://www.noesis.gg with my partner. We're bootstrapped and have been working on the project for a bit less than a year.

The product has been tested by users in our closed beta since November last year. In March we opened it up to the public with a paid open beta.

There are a few other competitors in the space, primarily https://sixteenzero.net/ and https://shadow.gg/. Their product is targeted pro-teams and cost significantly more than ours. Something on the order of 1000€ per month, against our 30€ per month.

We're super happy that we've received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our users! We've even been told several times by users that have access to both ours and our competitors products, that ours compares very well to theirs. Even without taking the major price difference into account.

We're steadily getting more users, but would of course love to accelerate our user acquisition even more. So far we've been making partnerships with different low-tier teams and streamers, and paying for ads on facebook, twitter, reddit, and google. We don't see a lot of conversion on our paid ads though, and are looking for other options to reach new users.

We would love to hear any growth hacking ideas that you may have! As well as on the product itself, of course :)

Easy File Uploading with JavaScript – FilePond
Not directly related to the post, but I remember back in the day we had a black-and-white TV which could receive only 3 basic channels in the country. I connected a co-ax cable to the output of a receiver and connected it to a dipole antenna. Now, after tuning the TV on the exact frequency of the antenna, I could play anything on the TV. It was a simple in-house broadcasting station. Of course, had to disassemble it due to concerns with electromagnetic waves.
Ok, we've put some mice in the title above.
Pretty much anywhere you go outside of larger cities in Scotland(if you like outdoorsy stuff like I do) has warnings that tap water is supplied directly from the nearest stream/river/lake and is unsafe to drink untreated. I'm perfectly happy to drink tap water nearly anywhere in the UK but any time we go camping in Scotland bottled water is a must because safe tap water is a rarity.
> Etymologically they may be unrelated but come on. Every single time you say one of those words we all know what word people are going to think of instead

But surely this must hold all the more strongly for the "a" word? Even if you're hearing it in a music video as a reference to a social ingroup, it basically amounts to propping up one of the vilest racial slurs around, which just seems self-defeating.

I don't just go to Paypal first necessarily. If it's easy and obvious I'll do it on the site then cancel in Paypal. But sadly most services don't make it easy so it's kinda on them if I go to PayPal first. Would be no different than if I used Privacy.com with a fake name. Good luck coming after me then.

Also fail to see how it's "abusive" since if you implement Paypal you should have your service setup to handle Paypal cancellations.

Politicians waging war against finance and the private sector is the origins story to venezuela's impressive economy today. What could go wrong?
I get reminded of the situation of domestic violence. Both men and women self-report the same amount of being victims, but women uses less lethal violence and thus die more from domestic violence compared to men.

The method matter when it comes to outcomes. With suicide it means men die more, with domestic violence it mean women die more.

Addressing the misery that causes people to cause violence against themselves or others is a good idea. What ever priority we want to use for one is likely a good choice for the other.
Hi friends created a mini chat room. just out of boredom you can use)
Let's back up a bit.

Earlier, you made a post where the whole end chunk was about how going without plastic bags assumes the use of a car.

Then someone disagreed, with detailed examples about how it's not dependent on a car.

You interpreted this as condescension and not trying to understand you. What the hell? They were disagreeing with a part of your argument that wasn't about you at all, since you don't have a car.

They weren't dismissing you because of anything you are.

Also, being able to name a way a policy hurts some particular poor or disabled person doesn't mean it's overall bad for that group. For example: Plastic bags can hurt some poor people that can't easily use alternatives. But when bags aren't free then groceries themselves will be slightly cheaper. This will benefit a different subset of poor people.

Sometimes other people want to add nuance, too. Disagreement with part of what you say is not dismissing you.

> Then why do you expect women will start using more effective methods?

Because we are seeing the beginnings of method substitution in the data, especially for older women.

> Why are they not using them now?

We don't know, which is why it's a complex phenomenom.

We can make guesses. We can guess that women find it easier to access support than men, that women are less isolated than men and so more likely to be found after an attempt, that the elements of contagion around suicide and self-harm prime men and women differently so they use different methods.

Research is tricky and we don't have much.
That was soon! Nice work!
It depends (sorry :) what uploader you want me to compare with, there's different differences with different uploaders. I think we tick all the boxes feature wise though. And Uppy is modular so you can easily leave out what you don't like (e.g. just use Core and roll your own UI, or just use Webcam support, or not at all). If you build with e.g. Webpack, that makes Uppy a lot smaller too.

One big differentiator with other open source uploaders is that we go above and beyond to get higher degrees of reliability, to the point of ridiculousness, maybe:

- We use https://tus.io under the hood for resumability to make file uploads survive bad network conditions (train enters a tunnel, you walk to the basement, share something from a club, switch cell towers, walk in range of wifi, have spotty wifi, are in rural areas). Tus is an open standard with many implementations.

- Our 'Golden Retriever' plugin can recover files after a browser crash or accidental navigate-away (full post + video from our hacking trip where we built this: https://uppy.io/blog/2017/07/golden-retriever/)

The reason we obsess over this is that Transloadit (our company) was getting complaints about files not making it to our encoding platform, even though the platform was stable. We realized one out of maybe every thousand uploads just fails due to bad network conditions. Something you don't notice when you either have a very stable connection or don't upload so many files. But it's wild out there, and if you handle 150.000 uploads a day, you can see how many complaints you might end up receiving. So we got a bit frustrated with the state of uploading (downloading had been resumable since HTTP/1.1) and that's how we ended up creating https://tus.io (, and then Uppy)
The highways were not needed because there are a lot of cars. They are needed because the city is structured poorly and with a lot of segregation between functions so that anyone who wants to do something that is different from the function of the current block (e.g. they want to work but they are now at home, or they want to get a haircut but they're at work) requires a trip by car.
I've heard that that is apocryphal. The airline pilot drawl was a consequence of early voice activated microphones. They would stretch out the first syllable to wait for the mic to turn on.

I do not know if this is true.

By using disposable cups, aren't coffee shops extracting value from the environment but not paying for the privilege? Surely the correct answer is to ban disposable cups and let the market decide who survives? My local sit down cafe does very well with reusable ceramic mugs. Why should the likes of Starbucks get special financial assistance from the environment when the cafe doesn't need it?
Usually it is the question of age. If it is just a few years, you might have a chance. If it's more than 20, you're probably either wrong about the potential or it's a really tough market requiring huge investment or paradigm change.

> Beijing is a large city with 16,810 km² area. Building superblocks is a reasonable choice in Beijing

This is the cart before the horse. Beijing didn't start out as a large city. It is municipal annexation that makes Beijing a large city, which is fairly common in China, e.g. Beijing and Xiong'an, Guangzhou and Panyu, Nansha.
