This could still be solved. Streaming services and digital music stores like Spotify and Apple Music could simply allow labels/artists to supply multiple masterings of the same tracks. One would be the default offering; the other would be a 24 bit file mastered with all loudness-optimising compression disabled. Popular music also routinely uses track level compression for artistic reasons and to balance the mix; it would be up to the artist whether or not to pare back any of that. Obviously the artist’s intent should take precedence here.

Then, as an end user, we could choose which we preferred. By default there would be no change in behaviour. Where software updates are available, an the option could be provided to swap between versions at will. For older devices, the streaming service could let the end user choose the high dynamic range version as an account-level default.

Personally I’d want ready access to both versions. When listening to music is the singular activity in a quiet environment, full dynamic range is great. But as soon as I’m not solely focused on music, multitasking or in a noisy environment, I’d actually prefer the compressed version.

If he wants to learn .NET, he should start with C# and then looked into the Framework and if he is particularly ambitious - the IL, etc. But I'm guessing he doesn't want to learn ".NET" but rather programming against MSSQL if he is a DBA. C# is easily the most mature language in this domain.

Also, since he is a DBA, he could be introduced to ".NET" via powershell as microsoft has been trying to make powershell the default IT/DBA shell for the windows world. It's like bash for windows but entirely object driven.
Totally agree with your first two points. I would also suggest experimenting with trial durations. I don't know how long it takes a typical user to setup your product and get to proof of value but perhaps it can be done in 14 days, maybe even 7.

I personally believe that, in some cases and depending on the product, placing urgency on the user can yield positive outcomes. This also grants you additional freedoms to "nudge" the user, simple example, "setup an account and earn an extra week of trial".

Good work and good luck, keep experimenting and measuring.

He wrote a BNF grammar, but his parser is closer to a handwritten parser for an EBNF grammar. Generally speaking, when people write recursive descent parsers by hand in a procedural style, they parse sequences directly rather than using a recursive descent following the grammar.

In so much as you can't get close to zero without radically changing how we build and live in this country you are correct, but the question is why wouldn't you want to make the changes to target zero deaths ? Not only would you be removing the 11th leading cause of death, you would be significantly improving our environmental footprint and literally saving trillions of dollars in unnecessary infrastructure spending.
They've made it pretty clear in a number of threads on Reddit that native apps for Samsung and LG are very low on the priority list.

I've never used a media server before. What advantages does a media server offer over just storing stuff on a set of folders?
Because there are always tradeoffs, and tradeoffs that may actually increase total deaths. That increase would be "acceptable" because they aren't road deaths. Such goals replace reason and judgement with slogans.

For example, consider "zero tolerance" laws. They result in convicting kids who carry a one inch Lego toy gun to school, because "my hands are tied" by the legislation.

As a resident Indian, I would say, America is an astrnomically more democratic nation than India. You can make fun of Trump in primetime television, share it in youtube and still live happily.

> I disagree. It's never been harder to compete by producing a long-term, very reliable machine.

All of your points are related to making it reliable, but all it needs is to be repairable. Then look what happens:

> Your machine is marketed as reliable. This means it has to be reliable, so you put a lot of effort / material / money into your machine, when your competition puts in much less.

Or you do the opposite, get it to market quick so you can undercut them on price. Then people buy it for the lower price and don't mind as much when it breaks because the repairs are cheaper. Paying $500 twice is far better than paying $10,000 once.

> If your machine is indeed reliable, your customers won't show up for another in a few decades(!). They also won't need many spare parts.

If it's of average reliability but more repairable then you'll do above average business selling spare parts because your equipment will remain in service longer. Meanwhile your customers will also notice that they're paying much less for repairs than your competitors' customers, and good reviews and word of mouth will drive new sales from other people.

> Since you are a newcomer, there's little implicit trust to you, right when you are selling very expensive hardware much higher than competition.

Which is where the repairability comes in again. If you can only get replacement parts from the manufacturer then the customer has to worry whether the manufacturer will still be in business in ten years, but if you can get parts from any third party parts supplier even after the manufacturer is long gone then the customer doesn't have to worry about that.

We need to reduce our carbon emissions. Even if/when we do, or die trying, it appears we will need oil for non-fuel petroleum products (at least temporarily) [1]. The process for extracting and transforming that oil should be as efficient as possible. Therefore, providing ML tech to oil companies is not necessarily "bad". However...

Time and time again, we are reminded that we should not ever leave morality up to businessmen. Ethics cannot be outsourced. Get out and vote for leaders who will keep tech from being used in damaging ways.

Why do Americans [anything]? Because in short they are ignorant.

Americans lack perspective on virtually all topics. They don't read enough, they don't travel enough, their educations are overwhelmingly technical and occupational at the expense of philosophy and ethics, and their domestic brainwashing apparatus has left them collectively unable to think.

Transportation is just like any other topic American's are unqualified to comment upon, like healthcare. They've been indoctrinated by propaganda campaigns to believe and repeat a series of false statements: their cities are too spread out (they aren't); their cities are exceptionally far apart (they aren't); their weather is somehow unprecedented (it isn't); you can't take groceries/children/lumber home on the bike/bus/tram/train (you obviously can).

So the answer to the headline's question is the obvious one, the one with the most hard evidence and the one with the broadest explanatory powers. The reason Americans believe these things is because of ignorance.
What if the crash is caused by the device failing? In the case of your car's built in systems, they've been approved by regulators and you probably wouldn't be held liable. If it was an unregulated device that you installed into your own car that caused the crash, I bet the legal circumstances would be different.
The article isn’t really about mass transit- is about lowering speed limits. Even though I’m not a huge mass transit fan, I do agree that speed limits are generally too high in the US on surface streets. In my area, very limited amounts of the metro area are more than 3 miles from a limited access freeway. Many of the larger surface streets have 35 or 45 mph speed limits. It’s not insane to drop many of those streets to 20 or 25 mph, although it works be painful.

Trump is not directly enriched. The last 2 decades of war have directly enriched a connected few.
From the History section of the Wikipedia page:

Jukeboxes became popular in the 1940s and were often set to a predetermined level by the owner, so any record that was mastered louder than the others would stand out. Similarly, starting in the 1950s, producers would request louder 7-inch singles so that songs would stand out when auditioned by program directors for radio stations.[1] In particular, many Motown records pushed the limits of how loud records could be made; according to one of their engineers, they were "notorious for cutting some of the hottest 45s in the industry."[3] In the 1960s and 1970s, compilation albums of hits by multiple different artists became popular, and if artists and producers found their song was quieter than others on the compilation, they would insist that their song be remastered to be competitive.
