This is a topic about which I am particularly passionate. We teach music so wrong. Classical training is about militaristic precision - the ability to achieve perfect regurgitation of a piece that everyone has heard before.

But this is the least interesting version of music. Still interesting because it requires skill, but, at least for me, not awe inspiring.

Piano is one of the most versatile instruments (like the guitar) in that you can play lots of notes with it (and synthesizers make for a wide array of sounds). It is one of the more powerful tools for speaking the language of music. And that's what it's all about, communicating with the listener. Learning to improvise and compose is a much more rewarding approach to piano than learning to play Fur Elise.

If you'd like some inspiration, check out Jacob Collier, Haywyre, Anomalie, or basically any funk band with a keys player.
Are you from Central Europe? That might be a factor if Russian was similar to your mother's tongue and French is not.
My linguistics professors tended to believe children pick up languages more easily not because they’re being coached more but because they practice with fewer inhibitions than adults. Whereas adults might feel more self-conscious about making mistakes, kids more often don’t worry about it and just try to communicate all day with whatever tools they have, and practice—even with lots of mistakes—helps the brain get better at using the language.

According to Apple (I don't own an iPhone) if you have iOS 14 and go into the Experimental Features settings and turn on support for draft HTTP/3 then it will try to do SVCB (that's the "DNS way to suggest http/3") and if it concludes that HTTP/3 is possible and there's no contraindication it will race an HTTP/3 connection vs HTTP/2

If it notices that HTTP/3 always loses or fails, it will gradually stop trying on the rationale that your network is broken so it's a waste of time.

If your site uses Cloudflare, this Just Works™ since Cloudflare will answer HTTP/3 and emit DNS records saying it speaks HTTP/3 so there's no new work for you. Otherwise, to enable it you'd need to either create SVCB records in your DNS (your DNS server may need to be updated) or use the Alt-Svc: feature and give up on the performance improvement for first visits.
I feel like this is a real black or white, us vs. Them type of situation. An antiquated vision of reliving wars of the past for the fight of freedom and liberty; sentiments that over simplify the true reality of the situation. I feel like these types of conflicts, if escalated will cause an equal and opposite reaction where we will see folks start up their own militias.

CNN / MSNBC are the Democrat version. There are some interesting polls on trust of media by political affiliation from 2012[0] and 2019[1] (these are multi-page sites, interesting stats to poke around).

Then pair that with this interesting talk by Matt Taibbi[2]. His basic argument is that most news organizations target a specific demographics and only cover things that reinforce the beliefs of that group. Fox dominates that for conservatives, while liberals tend to have a wider range of organizations to go to.

See my reply on a sibling comment. Also, it's one of very few popular books that goes deep on the subject of Goedel's Theorem and the limit discoveries in logic and computability. A subject that in my view deserves to be more in our collective consciousness than even Quantum Physics since it's implications are likely to be even more profound.
Who can say for sure what would have happened if Linus had used an MIT-style license instead. Linux would not necessarily have failed. But if, for example, a proprietary version had become dominant, that would have been enabled by copyright law. It's not the existence of copyright law that allows Linux to succeed as an open-source project.

The assumption is that you don’t know how he picks the door when there are two goats. It’s a reasonable assumption when the problem statement doesn’t say anything about it.

> despite having a net positive ROI on its budget

This is a common trope but is hugely misleading.

The issue is that the IRS can spend e.g. $40 on enforcement to collect $100. But what they're really doing is auditing several totally innocent people to find someone who has significantly underpaid and covers the costs of the audits for the others. The problem with this is that it imposes expensive and extremely stressful audits on several totally innocent people, and if you count their side of the cost, the "profits" are totally destroyed. The taxpayer has a better expected value to eat the cost of a certain amount of tax fraud than to pay the higher cost of a certain number of fruitless audits.

Moreover, the purpose of the IRS is to collect money to fund government programs, not to collect money to fund IRS audits. The money spent doing audits is a dead-weight loss which can't go to programs. Meanwhile the ordinary IRS collection efficiency is >99%. Inverting that and doing audits until the efficiency fell to zero would be a tremendous increase in inefficiency and dead-weight losses, but that's where you would be if the metric was "positive ROI" from the perspective of the IRS.

Keep in mind the adage "you get what you measure". If you optimize for CTR, you are not necessarily optimizing for user satisfaction/loyalty.

Case in point: Netflix's auto-play feature used to drive me bonkers, so much that I would try other streaming services first. How could they think this feature was a good idea? The only plausible explanation I've heard is that they were optimizing for user engagement. Users click around more to prevent the video from auto playing.

If we accept the first part as fact and apply the standard implied by the second, then Fox is in a hazy gray area of equally legitimate and not-legitimate, rather than clearly legitimate.

I think its important to call out that, it's entirely possible to become a fluent speaker in any secondary language you commit to, at any age. I've seen it and know people who've put in the hard work.

However, the distinction here is that, the older you get, the harder it is. A lot is stacked against an older brain, both in its ability to quickly make room for the massive amount of new knowledge required and your life's ability to make time for it.

If you persevere, you can get there, but you're just going to have to understand that it's going to feel like climbing Mount Everest. If you're a kid or teenager, it will come to you much faster and maybe like taking a walk up a small SF street.

Kids can learn a new language simply by watching a subtitled TV show or listening to music in that language. Adults on the other hand need structured exercises, dedicated studying time and immersion.

One of the defining characteristics of a functioning state (what you might call civilization) is a monopoly on violence. Conversely, the existence of unsanctioned militias (e.g. cartel gunmen in Central America) indicates a failing or failed state.

What you think of as your 'liberty' is in fact a construction of the state provided to you (not by you) - your playpen if you will. If the state fails, your playpen will collapse, and perhaps only death would save you from the horrors thus unleashed.

I have test drove the S,3,X and while the power was pretty neat, the build quality is a deal breaker for me after having both MB & Porsche. I am waiting for them to get that sorted out before I buy one. We have 2 Porsches now which are fantastic. I am committed to not buying another gas powered car at this point so I am looking forward to the other manufactures catching up with Tesla on their BEV offerings.

As a history - old 1960s Mustang, 1990s Dodge, 1990s Pontiac, 2000s MB ML AMG, 2000s Ford(s), 1990s Jaguar, 2000s Suzuki, 2000s Honda(s) (I loved the Element. Great car with small kids - if they made a new one I would buy it!), 2010s MB C-Class, 2010s Porsche(s). Hum. I am missing something...oh well.

"This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a toxic chemical that in "high oral doses" can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and life-threatening low blood pressure due to dehydration.[2]

Sodium chlorite, the main constituent of MMS, is a toxic chemical[3][4] that can cause acute kidney failure[5] if ingested. Small amounts of about 1 gram can be expected to cause nausea, vomiting, shedding of internal mucous membranes such as those of the small and large intestine (producing so-called "rope worms") and even life-threatening hemolysis in persons who are deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase....

There have been no clinical trials to test these claims, which come only from anecdotal reports and Humble's book."

I think in the case of Amazon selling hosted MongoDB calling it DocumentDB, they are actually using a fork of mongo's previously open source codebase.

That depends on the type of mandarin

You can have clementines, satsumas, tangors and tangerines (plus a few strange complex hybrids). Some have adherent skins that can be messy to peel, the skins in other are extra easy to remove. Clementines are more sweet, tangors are more acidic so are still much appreciated. It depends on the group and cultivar
The objection hasn't been made in your SE question, so I assume I am missing something, but why does 'if a system is finite' apply to the universe? The 'given infinite time' would need to be a 'faster' infinite than universal expansion?

>I would not describe that period of my life as having more "free time" but I can understand how that may look the case.

It’s more than just perception. It’s been awhile since I’ve read it, but The Meritocracy Trap gives the actual stats. Obviously, the higher strata have an abundance of other resources (chiefly money, by definition) but not free time because of the competitive nature of maintaining within that economic level.

I do think that the middle class is attainable for most as long as they do a few essentially things, like graduating high school, avoiding massive debt, avoiding addictions, and avoiding becoming a parent before financially secure. I also believe we should, as a society, help those who are disadvantaged by things outside their control. However, there will always be consequences for life choices and some of those can’t be completed mitigated.

I didn’t grow up with money but I also eventually learned comparison is the thief of joy
Yes, both USA and Soviet experimented with nuclear powered planes during the 60s. The problem was how to shield the pilots from radioactivity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear-powered_aircraft

FWIW, that particular cast iron pan seems to have some sort of ceramic coating, which.. makes it more nonstick or easier to clean, or something? I'm not sure. If you don't care about that, go for the $20 lodge cast iron pan, which will also last a lifetime.

But I agree with sibling comments, you don't need to buy quality for the stuff you rarely use. And/or, you may be able to not buy it at all. A high quality set of basic knives (chef+paring+serrated) and the acquired skill to use them can replace many kitchen gizmos.

No, it wasn't by design, but we just didn't have time to talk about it. I talked about testing extremely briefly in one lecture, but I think we will spend more time on this next time we teach the class.

Which developing countries are rural and sparse but use more land than, say, Germany, where humans use essentially every available piece of land?

That hunter-gathering couldn't sustain the current population is not evidence that the planet would be worse off. Neither are birth rates.

Contrast that with Turkey where I lived for a couple of months: “You sound like a child!” they all gasped in astonishment as I tried out 3 verb tenses. My adult Turkish friends had NEVER heard a non-native speaker of Turkish! So different from the USA where we hear non-native speakers all the time (and I expect plenty of Koreans hear non-native speakers on occasion).
Mine changes both tone and intensity only when I strain my abdomen (as you usually do in a bathroom). What does that mean? Does it depend on a blood pressure? But my bp is pretty normal and lowering it would harm other things, I guess.

I also found out that tinnitus gets worse if I'm listening to it, and almost disappears when I quit giving a fuck about it. Also, if you have one, and you are subject to nervousness do not try that fingers-on-the-nape trick. It will disappear and then may return back two-three times worse for some time. Strangely, I have severe one, but don't care much.

Also, it intesifies in threads like this one, probably because I'm actively thinking about it.

I truly don't understand how your friend has this problem. I have a Model 3, and after I read your comment, I tried to block my view of the speedometer with my right hand and couldn't do it. I tried sitting closer and farther back, higher and lower. I tried every position on the steering wheel. I flared my elbows out. I tried to imagine my hands and wrists were twice the size. I just don't see how this is possible. I'd love to see a POV pic from your friend that illustrates the problem. For my money, having the speedometer on the central screen makes it more visible. My view of a conventional dash is always partially blocked by the steering wheel.
I don't know anything about cars, but do those old BMWs have software that requires maintenance? Tesla likely will.
Show HN: Mytake.org - Wikipedia for Primary Sources
The Oxford English Dictionary traced the use of the word "startup" for a budding business to a Forbes article in 1976 where it referred to the Silicon Valley electronics companies.

So, no, the term "startup" wasn't co-opted but has meant a fast growing silicon valley type company for the last 50 years. Before that it was not used to refer to new businesses.

As a note, "starting up" is not the same as "startup."
We're a group of volunteers trying to build "Wikipedia for primary sources". We've taken every presidential debate in U.S. history, stuffed them into a git repository, and made it searchable. We've also built tooling so that other "factsets" besides the debates could be added in the future.

You can highlight any snippet of a fact, and post it to social media. We render the text of the snippet as the social preview, and if people click it, they can see the full context it came from.

You are entitled to revocation of any unexpired certificates for names over which you can demonstrate control.
