From the paper linked:

"For the above idea to work with unmodified off-the-shelf microphones, two assumptions need validation. (1) The diaphragm of the microphone should exhibit some sensitivity at the high-end frequencies (> 30kHz). If the diaphragm does not vibrate at such frequencies, there is no opportunity for non-linear mixing of signals."

The devices tested include hearing aids, smartphones, smart watches, etc, which are all likely to include small surface mount MEMS microphones. I doubt any of these techniques will work against a larger dynamic or condenser microphone, where the mass of the diaphragm makes the system inherently insensitive to ultrasonic frequencies. There's a reason the jamming signal is inaudible, and it's not because our auditory cortex contains an ideal lowpass filter.

>even at newly formed companies in that most forward-thinking industry, tech.

I dispute this heavily, I've worked in both tech and some traditionally other heavily male dominated industries, like construction and oilfield work.

While both have their sexists, I find that the problem is far worse, and far more accepted in tech than either. Blue collar workers often just have an old fashioned view of the sexes, but tech workers often have an actively virulent anti-woman persecution syndrome, as extolled by the post above.

Women I have seen go into heavy industry lines of work seem to fare far better, and face less bullshit (anecdotally of course).

The early decision you will have to make is whether you want to be a theoretical specialist who will mostly make money consulting working at a consulting firm or university or whether you will be solving actual business problems down to the metal.

Each has a completely different trajectory at this point in your life.

A great example is to read the great debate between Andrew Tanenbaum and Linus Torvalds over kernel design as its closely related to what you're currently studying.

Linus would have clearly failed Tanenbaum's OS class.

Yet I use Linux every day, as does millions of others, while Tanenbaum's MINIX is on a CDROM that came with the book that I bought for my OS class.

This is not to say Linux is still a monolith, but that would be getting in way too much details.
Some designs eliminate the electrolytic capacitor. That's the first component to fail. If you want 10+ years of operation, it has to go. You can get rid of the electrolytic, but you have to add an inductor.[1]

It's worse because it's self-serving. It's unprecedented because he's outspent every candidate (I believe in the history of the US) and it's all his own money.

Nothing wrong with that, if you are a generalist you will find yourself intersecting those. Else you will find yourself focused in one. There are very few organizations in the world where you get to do all of those, except for a startup in the initial stage or by you pursing your own side projects. Something like game programming might intersect all (programming - using GPU, app development - the game engine, software engineering - building a scalable game server, computer science - utilizing appropriate algorithms and data structures that most people will tell you they never use in the real world)

if you want to do the programming thing - learn low level programming, buy an arduino etc and learn to program it.

app development - build websites, mobile apps, desktop apps.

software engineering - contribute to a large scale app
(kubernetes, postgres, etc)

computer scientist - study latest CS papers, replicate result, write your own paper and come up with your own ideas.

This makes no sense. Julian already stated that Russia had nothing to do with the DNC leaks.

From wikipedia [1]:

On December 9, 2016, the CIA told U.S. legislators that the U.S. Intelligence Community concluded Russia conducted operations during the 2016 U.S. election to prevent Hillary Clinton[11] from winning the presidency.[12] Multiple U.S intelligence agencies concluded people with direct ties to the Kremlin gave WikiLeaks hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.[12] WikiLeaks did not reveal its source. Later Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, claimed that the source of the emails was not Russia.[13]

The submission hit some software penalties, like HN's flamewar detector. Moderators didn't touch it or even see it until a few minutes ago (I'm getting a late start this "morning"), when I saw it and turned off that penalty. This placed the article back on the HN front page.

We moderate HN less, not more, when YC or YC-funded startups are in a story. That's literally the first principle of HN moderation, in the sense that it's the first thing PG told me when he was training me to do this in 2012. I didn't even have time to grab a chair before he blurted it out.

It's natural for people to question this, so such questions will always come up. We're scrupulous about following this rule for two reasons. The first is that we need to be able to answer the questions in good conscience; the second is that moderating any other way would be dumb. The community's trust is the most valuable asset HN has. In fact, if you think about it, it's the only asset HN has.

The Wikipedia article for Cut, Copy, and Paste[1] seems to have this bit that's cited to that book:

> Inspired by early line and character editors that broke a move or copy operation into two steps—between which the user could invoke a preparatory action such as navigation—Lawrence G. Tesler (Larry Tesler) proposed the names "cut" and "copy" for the first step and "paste" for the second step. Beginning in 1974, he and colleagues at Xerox Corporation Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) implemented several text editors that used cut/copy-and-paste commands to move/copy text.

I imagine those "early line and character editors" refers to vi's delete, yank, and put, and emacs's kill, copy/"save as if killed", and yank. I wonder what other editors had back then, before the names he came up with became standardized.

I also wonder how the idea of the operations developed before Larry Tesler contributed to it.

Looking at POSIX[2], it seems ex has delete, yank, and put, but I can't see similar functionality in standard ed (GNU's ed does have yank, but I guess it's an extension).

git still supports a variant of that (if you set the "ident" flag in gitattributes), though it uses the blob hash of that file, not the commit hash.

But in general, git doesn't look kindly on gratuitous modifications to source files. Those modifications can never occur in the actual files in the repository, since you can't hash something that contains its own hash (unless the hash is broken). And having the file in the working directory not match the file in the repository makes life difficult in various ways (diffs, etc).

Ask HN: Considering a Paying Side-Project
I may have the opportunity to inherit a full-stack project I previously worked on that can support a partial developer (.1 to .2). There's one customer who uses it and wants to continue to use it, with some feature development now (which I think can be done in that .1 or .2 timeframe). I have no ambitions of growing it as a company, just keep running it as a side project. If I take this on, what are some things that I should keep in mind?

> He's not beholden to anyone's interests or greed or kickbacks or special interests.

What a laughable statement. Of course he is, he's beholden to his own interests as a billionaire. Bloomberg is special interests personified. How is it possibly a good thing that any single person in our country can elect themselves via sheer wealth?

Also incredible that you phrase being beholden to many people's interests as a bad thing. Of course there is corruption by another name when candidates take money from Super PACs (Buttigieg/Biden), but isn't it a good thing that, for example, Sanders is now beholden to the interests of his over 2 million donors? Almost like he's beholden to the interest of his constituents, as an elected representative...

I would add to this that you shouldn't be afraid to refactor when you hit a wall where you can't add the feature you want to add because of the way the other features structured your code. Better to take the time to modify the basic structure a bit to make it work than to try to kludge something together to sort of make it work.

You'll find that doing it right allows other features to be added that you haven't thought of yet. If you somehow force it to sort of work, you'll end up doing that for a lot of other features, too.
Nit: Trump being super wealthy is arguable on many grounds - definitionally ("super"), wealthy at all, debt superseding wealth, etc. Bloomberg is _actually_ super wealthy.
So you think he is spending hundreds of millions out of goodness of his heart? Just so he would get the chance to help average citizen?

Perhaps stating the obvious here, but if the money comes in small increments from millions of people who are broadly representative of the population (ahem, Bernie Sanders, ahem), then the politician will be beholden to the people they're actually supposed to be beholden to: the voters.

If we allow the extremely wealthy to have an extreme advantage in campaigns, we'll end up with a government that only serves their interests. Why would we expect anything else?

The solution to this is public funding of elections that puts all candidates on an equal playing field, or at least overturning Citizens United and only allowing direct donations under the maximum including from yourself.
It's actually perfectly in line with our democratic process. It's not subverting it, it's working exactly as designed. Spending a personal fortune is well within the rules. We should be criticizing the design, not the people taking advantage of the design.

In other words, hate the game not the player.

Having worked on low cost online educational content & as a bootcamp instructor previously - I think there are a few forces that lead to suboptimal outcomes:

1. No or low admissions bar. Some students very simply SHOULD NOT be admitted to what is intended to be a 3 month course. They either don’t have the learning ability that is required to absorb all of the content in 3 months or the drive.

2. Curriculum pacing - pretty much every human learns different concepts at different pace. A lot of code schools are just trying to assembly-line their course & put people in one end and shove them out the other end in 3 months. If these boot camps offered remediation at a unit level, students on the whole would go much further much faster.

3. Curriculum focus - some people want to be data scientists, others want to write backend code, others want to be iOS developers, others front end. A lot of bootcamps really have curriculum hitting very broad strokes in that 3 month period: big-o, SOLID, html, css, npm/yarn/etc, command line interface, JavaScript, react, elixir, etc. etc. is too much to cram into 3 months IMO. This is a consequence of students hearing this buzzword soup from friends and internet & bootcamps not owning responsibility to serve students.

4. Outcome reporting is hazy at best - CIRR is IMO the best framework for reporting student numbers & should be used as the gold standard. However it should be enforced strictly, if a member doesn’t report CIRR numbers within 3 or 6 months of a cohort finishing they should be penalized in some way by being removed or fined or something. Students need good & recent data to make good decisions & it’s just not their these days.

There are more problems but those are the biggest IMO. There is still a huge opportunity in helping people learn to code but I think it looks more like learncodethehardway.com than Lambdaschool.com

This would create a mechanism through which issues of taxation could be resolved through tracing the "heritage" of a corporation, then leaving the divvy up of tax extracted value to be sorted out by internation tax agreement.

It certainly sets up a pleasing symmetry in process between dealing with Corporations and people by my estimation, and cuts down on the attractiveness of creating corporate hierarchies with the direct intent to play shell games with your taxes.
