Organs are not really tuned with the stops, the stops engage or disengage banks ('ranks' in organ terminology) of related pipes. The only way this would affect tuning is if you have a secondary rank with an alternate tuning, you'd have to disable one rank and enable another.

Organs are tuned directly at the individual pipes (just like string instruments are tuned at the strings). Each pipe, depending on the kind of pipe used has a slide that goes in and out on one end to match the pipe length or, alternatively, a tiny tongue of metal that is rolled up or extended. Tuning (or 'voicing') an organ is super labor intensive and time consuming.

For a large organ it can take weeks.

Great point. We need to make spying costly though a 2 pronged strategy:

* Develop technology that makes it expensive to spy.

* Pass legislation that makes it expensive to spy.

Bad actors will be still spying, but hopefully we can economically contain the spy activity to high profile targets, instead of mass deploy it for everyone.

The thought of running wire between these chunks of battery to the motor, enough wire to carry that power, ... nope. Running 12ga and 10ga for stereos was hard work, running multiple spans of #00 for battery packs where the transmission and gas tank and whatever else used to be is not feasible. The insane fringe of hobbyists will do a few but most of them, even, will be using single, swappable commercial packs they cram in $somewhere.

Walking through an art museum a few years ago, I was struck with how many depictions of Jesus had red hair. Once you start noticing it, it’s tough to miss... even though the chances of him looking like that is likely almost nil.

Having someone who looks like your local populace, or what your local populace aspires to be, could help with people embracing or identifying with the person in the picture.

I don't share your pessimism, but you do make a very interesting point, or diagnosis.

There are other evolutionary traits to consider: bigger groups of animals do not necessarily correlate with better communication, hence economic/evolutionary friction (loss of efficiency). We're in a different situation where no one moved but everyone got connected, maybe this will let adaptation (good evolutionary traits and genes) spread faster across the species, or boost their completeness faster in time. Who knows. It's impossible to predict evolution at this stage, especially ours.

These warnings should be considered and taken into account, but not impede our drive to improve.

On a deeper political note, I and it seems more and more people seem to envision the idea of a much more granular organization and tiered, i.e. instead of 250 countries with average 30 million people, allow for much more diversity at a 1-10 million scale, and form meta blocks of ~1 billion to manage world affairs more easily.

With a 'true' bottom-up democracy, this would allow much diversity at a local scale (geographically, but we can already imagine some of these few million-people groups being almost entirely online).

That's 1 possible and desirable scenario for political evolution in this century IMHO (15 years of research in that domain lead me to this conclusion; there are other likely scenarios obviously).
Not to discount the anti-spam algorithms. I religiously mark spam emails as spam. Gmail is quick at learning. 90% of my email is promotions which I never look at.

" The fact that plastics do not break down, and therefore accumulate in our ecosystems, is one of our major environmental problems."

Not really. Landfills are safe and clean and plentiful. Ocean plastic is a problem, but comes almost entirely from intentional dumping. Litter is a problem, but it seems silly to assume that someone who cannot be bothered to put plastic in a trash can will put it in a recycle bin.

The real issue is the carbon footprint of making/transporting items, plastic or otherwise. I'd like to see how this compares in that regard. If this uses more energy than just making new plastics it will probably exacerbate a real problem (global warming) in order to help with a fake problem (landfills) which, unfortunately, is pretty consistent with modern environmentalism.

When I was a young angry kid it was sometimes pointed out to me that "yes, maybe that other kid deserves a real beating, but you should not do it."

I was only so successful, I was liked - and somewhat feared - when I left one particular school.

The idea still stands, just because something should be done doesn't mean the person who does it is innocent:

If Eve is jealous and breaks into Alices house and kills her and that leads to someone discovering that Amice was plotting a bomb attack against a local school it still won't help Eve in court.

Edit: I should probably point out that the person who said that would never beat a kid (or anyone else for that matter, and neither would I, now that I have grown up. It was a way of speaking, but I can easily see certain HNers reading it literally. )
Don't worry about lasting change, worry about what your contribution to the problem is. I think the veg*n community is a good example where a proportionately small group of people stuck to personal commitments to not eat meat or animal products, and have (decades later) gotten mainstream acceptance for that. You can now have a vegan meal at Burger King, but only because a group of people weren't worried about making lasting change they were just worried about living in line with their values :)

This is how a human would code the same (a human would know, for instance, that (s)he wants to multiply 50 times, passing that in %rax (that would be your "n" in C), something a compiler can never know, which is one of many reasons (and there are many!) why a compiler can never, ever beat a human at coding in assembler:

DotProduct: subss %xmm0, %xmm0
.Loop: movss (%rdi, %rax, 4), %xmm1
mulss (%rdi, %rax, 4), %xmm1
addss %xmm1, %xmm0
subq $1, %rax
cmpq $0, %rax
jnz .Loop
ret

...potentially, depending on how 80x86 processors work, the Z flag might be set when subq $1, %rax reaches 0 and the cmpl $0, %rax could be optimized away, making the code even shorter (and faster). But I'll leave it in there because this handily beats the compiler in both size and speed, even with the compiler often trying to cheat with nopw instructions to warm up the data cache. Now compare that with the garbage GCC generated. At -O3 no less! What a bunch of garbage!

On a personal note, you forced me to write code for a processor architecture I do not even know (80x86 family of processors in 64-bit mode), at all, so you just assumed my primary system is powered by that intel / AMD garbage of processors, and I don't appreciate that one bit. And you doubted me, which I appreciate even less.

Rather than thicker-gauge wire, how about going all-in on the crazy hacks and running thin little high-voltage transmission lines through your car, heavily insulated—like, undersea cable ratio of insulation to core—with transformers on either end?

Agreed, it’s a really concise and clear articulation of one of the main traps of inheritance thinking.

I also think people are very receptive to this once you point it out. You’re not trying to make a class hierarchy because you come to the problem with a presupposed mental model. Instead you should be letting your attempt to solve the problem with no abstraction teach you about the places where abstraction would help. Maybe it should be organized as inheriting behaviors via mixins instead of specializing behaviors based on a hierarchical relationship with a parent type. Or maybe all the classes just need to be simple record / tuple wrappers and the methods that operate on them don’t belong to any class at all.

The reason examples like car extends vehicle cause harm is that they can be superficially taken as an endorsement that you should bring preconceived mental models of relationships between components into the solution, before trying to solve it with zero abstraction and observing where this breaks down.
Agreed, this approach is misguided.

Removing standardized tests removes a useful metric admissions can use to analyze applicants as part of a holistic process. Is it a perfect metric? No, but the scores are good predictors for diligence which is crucial for college success.

If you need to go to college to develop fundamental critical thinking skills, then something is very, very wrong with your basic education system.

Wouldn’t it be more optimal to develop those skills from the beginning of life, through the family, bolstered by a rigorous basic education BEFORE you start college?
In similar news, popular athletic app Strava has announced that they will be dropping Bluetooth support because of an issue with their code. https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032979131-Re...

Strava aren't fixing the bugs, just dropping the feature altogether. They even admit that other athletic apps implement Bluetooth without bugs, so it's not a platform limitation.

So sometimes people decide that an easy fix is a better choice than a "correct" fix, which would be either adding bits to the train axle counter, or implementing a way that didn't care how many axles there were- such as having a head and tail indicator for a train, and not counting the axles in between.

Car options are pretty limited. Hands down Toyota makes the best cars on the planet in terms of value, reliability, and longevity. Unfortunately they have no options that are comfortable for me. Quality drops off a cliff for American created cars.

I see a reference to cancer below, I recently started looking into this, it's actually fascination.

There is actually some research being done on non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib or diclofenac for treatment of leukemia.

Since Leukemia is actually related to an increase of white blood cells which are produced in response to inflammation/infection I was curious if there's any relationship and immediately found articles such as the following one:

"Celecoxib suppresses autophagy and enhances cytotoxicity of imatinib in imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cells"

There's also a bunch of initial research on herbal medicinal herbs and their effect on certain cancer cells. And a lot of them actually were used for their anti-inflammatory properties.

> If a dual-class share structure allows the CEO to divert 100% of dividends into his personal bonus

> Does an investment with those properties sound like a good investment to you?

It's plainly obvious you don't hold an investment in a public company that does that. Your setup has a self-correcting action: the investors sell if they can't derive the expected benefit from owning the stock because the CEO is sending all the profit into their own bank account.

Why doesn't Zuckerberg do it for example? Because the stock would implode by 90%+ overnight and the best employees would immediately flee as they see their stock become worthless and future stock compensation goes to zero. Then the rest of the corporation would collapse in time without the employees required to keep it operating at a high level. Even monopolies can easily lose their position. Just downgrading your average employee by one grade, eg from a B to a C, will collapse elite tech companies over time. History is littered with examples (from HP to IBM) of what happens to companies when they can no longer attract the best.

Standards, (almost?) by definition, do stand in the way of innovation.

Think about the standard represented by the micro-USB for low voltage charging and data connection.

If we standardized on power connections in 1990, we'd have barrel jacks on many things instead of micro-USB.

For that matter, if we standardized on USB connectors in 1996, our phones might all have giant USB type-B connectors on them. Can't go against the standard, of course.

It also allows you to prewarm a read replica before sending queries to it. You can also do this by slowly ramping up traffic to it (and may want to do that anyway for other reasons) but depending on the app and query patterns, that by itself may not be enough especially if you are worried about your p99 latencies.

It can also be helpful when you have network attached storage (eg. EBS volume in AWS) since even if it is SSD you still have the network latency for each IO.

They(Boeing and FAA) weren't even looking into it, they were %100 sure that the plane is fine. How the public is suppsed to know that this time is different?

Okay, they may change the name but if a crash happens the media will roll the ball to point out that this is re-named 737 MAX. Is this still cheaper than developing a new plane?
