I believe that's the full dynamic range that human hearing can possibly process where it's a really tiny signal that a human can actually hear with noise underneath vs a really loud signal that is basically pain. Most humans don't have that range. Note that the issue is that the quiet signal needs to be above the noise--so whatever your signal is, the noise floor needs to be below the threshold of hearing given that signal (I believe that while for "normal" signals that noise floor needs to be more than -50 to -60dbm down for very quiet signals threshold of detection is only -20dbm further down).

The trick is that our hearing systems are logarithmic (we can't hear a quiet sound next to a loud sound--that's what compression relies on), so they map to floating point numbers better (ie. 16-bit floating point is way more than enough).

24-bits is effectively for recording engineers so they have lots of headroom and don't have to worry about clipping basically at all (6dbm per bit implies about 18dbm of extra headroom which is a LOT).

However, when you calculate non-linear audio effects, you want extra bit depth (generally floating point) because cancellation and multiplication in your intermediate results can really move your noise floor up into bits that humans can actually hear.
That is great to know, thanks. It was pretty unusable the last time I tried it.
It seems like people from other ethnicities/countries have done well in Silicon Valley, e.g. India, China, Iran. Notably, CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Uber and others are brown-skinned.

Would they have done even better without the racism? Or what accounts for the difference?

> police go into every interaction thinking that the person on the other side could be armed and could kill them on a whim.

They could be, but are very unlikely to be. Despite the huge number of privately guns owned in America, the vast majority of cops will never be shot at nor have valid reason to shoot at somebody. Cops who constantly fear for their lives are operating under a warped view of reality.

I think it's a culture problem for cops. They hang out on cop forums, cop chat rooms or facebook groups; they read cop newsletters and generally socialize with other cops. These groups have the effect of amplifying stories about violence against cops, because those stories are sensational and of obvious interest to cops, and that amplification in turn gives rise to a warped perspective on how risky their job actually is.

If it makes it easier for you to understand, think of it as small-r "racism" rather than capital-R "Racism". It's not equivalent to lynching somebody, but it's still an assumption based on race that harms someone. One doesn't have to harbor ill intent in order to exhibit racist behavior.

One shouldn't think of oneself as the center of this situation. Your dubious appeals to evopysch relate to what's going on (or not) in one's brain, while one's behavior that is observable to others just says "black people are subordinate".
I haven’t read your post in full. To your first paragraph, check my history and you’ll be hard pressed to find another example of this. The quote was posted to another HN thread that has since been merged into this one where the conversation was already underway.

If you're in America, covid19 is not winding down.

In my opinion, React is one of the few libraries out there where the gains from using it is much larger than the effort needed to learn it. It has a relatively small API, more so now that you can get a lot done with just function components. In return, once you grok the whole "components as a function of state" concept, designing data models and designing app components becomes very simple.

I really like react, and I'm glad to see other environments adopting a React-like approach to UI development (Apple's SwiftUI and Android's Jetpack Compose, to name two)

> Go is a Python/Ruby/Java/etc alternative. Whereas Rust is an alternative to C/C++/etc

Except that in this years Rust survey, there were more people using Rust for "Backend Development" than any other purpose. Rust allows you low-level control, but in many ways it's higher-level than Go (it allows for more sophisticated abstractions that can be wrapped up in libraries). It's an excellent choice for web services. And many people find it more productive than Go (although the reverse is also true).

How? How many criminals are members of the NRA? The 2nd Amendment was created precisely as a counter to a tyrannical government. The ACLU fights over the first amendment, the NRA fights over the 2nd — and you can’t have one without the other. Both organizations are valuable. Free speech and free association is an illusion unless there is a means to back it up. If the UK tomorrow decided that everyone had to go to concentration camps, how exactly would that effort be opposed? One of Hilter’s earliest efforts was to disarm civilians. The Soviets also did the same thing. Now why would they do that? To stop gun violence? Of course not, it was to prevent rebellion. Imagine if the students in Tiananmen Square were heavily armed.

I haven't used Rust before, but I can relate to the experience.

In general I lean towards it not being a waste. That's not to say it's always useful for that project but it is usually useful as a learning exercise, that allows me to better identify similar patterns later (including whether generics are worth using compared to primitive types, in situations like that).

For example, I spent a good year or two forcing all of my iteration into functional styles. Now I am much better at coding in that style... and at knowing when a for loop is the more appropriate tool.

By my back-of-the-napkin math, white America owes black America about 10 trillion dollars in stolen wealth.

The are roughly 50 million black Americans out of a population of 330M. Americans own roughly $100T in wealth. So black Americans should own about 50 / 330 * 100T or $15T. But they currently only own about $5.5T.

We could start by allocating some our our Federal tax dollars to making black Americans whole.

It’s very much a matter of “what is your audience.”

My current employer has dropped IE11 for new projects, but we keep it around for already extant products and pages, unless we do a full redesign and rethink. IE11 is such a small percentage these days that the cost/benefit ratio isn’t good.

You're allowed to defend yourself, with arms and lethal violence, against unlawful police. There's a Supreme Court case about it called John Bad Elk versus US wherein police were trying to arrest John Bad Elk for shooting guns on his own land, which was legal, and when the police made to draw on him he shot them, killing at least one officer, and was found to have acted within the law.

A more recent and more famous example is the rapper Tupac who witnessed police beating up a guy for no reason. Tupac grabbed a gun and told them to stop, and when the police shot at him, he shot back wounding one, and wasn't found to have committed any crime. Randy Weaver shot and killed a federal agent and was exonerated at trial.

These are just examples from memory. I'm sure if you looked you'd find many more. It may not be wise to shoot out with the police, and you'd better be certain you're right, but you're absolutely permitted to use your guns on the police and kill them in some circumstances.

Go is a significantly simpler language than Rust, and has a garbage collector. You can learn Go in a weekend, and experiment with it in a couple more.
Rust on the other hand has a steep learning curve which will take at least a couple of months to get good at.
So if I were you, I'd start by learning Go, seeing if it fit my needs, and then learning Rust later on if I had a use case that Go wasn't a good fit for.
Yeah, you're right. Viable is obviously the wrong word.
>I disagree about nil as well; I think Go's zero value approach is useful, and basically impossible without nil (it wasn't necessary in my code, but I may want to instantiate an ApiResponse object without a data structure ready to be passed in).

I like your solution to my imaginary problem, but I am going to counter this one. Now I'm salty because nil interface[1] actually bit me once and cost me. Go's zero value approach also exists in Rust, but is type safe. Basically every primitive type, and Option<T> have zero values. Any struct that is made up of those values can also safely have zero values. Then for those that don't, you can implement your own zero values. This is called Default in Rust. Go's zero value approach is perfectly possible, and arguable better without nil. And even then, the number of times I've seen a service crash because someone "forgot" to initialize a nullable type, and passed it to a function that then exploded isn't an issue I should deal with in 2020.

That is not the starting premise of all who oppose racism. It's not even the starting premise of the majority. It's the starting premise of a few loudmouths who unfortunately were given a microphone. They're doing their cause more harm than good by saying stuff like that.

Why are they doing more harm than good? Because, after a claim like that, the conversation is over. There's absolutely no point in talking to someone who makes claims like that. And it makes you less likely to be willing to talk to the next person, either. So the net amount of whites willing to learn and talk about race and racism goes down when people say stuff like this.

(It's also factually untrue, blatantly unfair, and bigoted...)
I don't have exact answers to your questions, but it basically comes down to the endowment. For example Princeton has an endowment of 29 billion dollars. There are 8,623 undergrads, and if you assume the full sticker price for tuition, room, board, and expenses ($75,210) reflects the actual cost, then it costs $648,535,830 per year to educate those students. That's 2.5% of the endowment if you assume nobody is paying anything and that it reflects the true cost; but the endowment grows by more than that annually just from investment returns!
News about... what? The Kardashians?

It's 25% of 18-24 year olds, according to the story. So, basically people who would never read the WSJ or NYT or New Yorker or The Guardian, or probably even the BBC. Or read anything more than 1-2 paragraphs. That group of 18-24 year olds... you know who they are.

I actually think we should make them stay on IG for 3 years as punishment until they swear they will never go back there. Or maybe just put all the Twitter and IG users into local churches (one on each side of the aisle) and lock them inside until they agree to stop yelling at each other.

> If the data was never secured in the first place can you call it a breach?

Yes. It's a "breach" even if just a security researcher found it. It's sometimes even a breach even if only an employee found it (depending on the specific role of the employee and controls on the data).

> They found this, great, was there any indication it was accessed directly before that? Is that something that can even be investigated?

You can be found "not guilty" by a jury, but that doesn't mean you are innocent. Sometimes there just isn't enough evidence of the crime.

We should care more about whether a crime happened than we care about whether we can prove the crime. In cybersecurity, not having enough logging should be something along the line of negligence.

> Did you prevent 845 GB of data being found by a black hat or did you find that data because of a black hat?

I've seen it both ways. Some employees are diligent and go out of their way to investigate proactively. Sometimes an employee only investigates if there is a sufficiently suspicious finding. I've seen instances where the only hint that a user breached a database was a SQL query error that got logged in an application such that the app as designed couldn't generate that query.
I could see this being very useful.

I recall Joyent's solution to this (similar) problem where you have an object stored somewhere (e.g. S3) and you want to use that object in a container, but you have to copy it over HTTP or something to do any work on it and the object could be very large.

With Joyent's Manta[1] you would spin up a container right where an object is stored (instead of bringing the objects to the container via NFS.) Also has map reduce support.

Police killings are a lot like fear of letting kids walk to school, fear of planes, fear of skydiving. I think there is a term for it but I'll just say it's common misconceptions that have been painted wrongly by news and word of mouth.

Murder rates have gone down since 70's and at their lowest point, but with the introduction of national and world news it makes people think murders have gone up, so they don't let their kids walk to school. Some people have an irrational fear of flying because of news. People have fear of skydiving because they watch too many movies and think a parachute will fail, when the data shows the exact opposite. 99% of are deaths not related to parachute failing.

So I see the police killings as a world that has gotten smaller, video camera's in everyones pocket and social media that has painted a picture of world that doesn't exist. It strikes fear into people and the psychological issues will be felt for decades.
