I was surprised at that detail, too. I’ve never seen wine decanted at a restaurant.

The ceremony is a bit silly with ordinary wine because they all use synthetic corks now. But almost no one knows why they are being asked to smell the cork or taste the wine, anyway.
> Perfect pitch means that, if someone plays a sine wave with no context, you can tell what pitch it is.

What bothers me about that definition is that it doesn't specify accuracy. If I play a sine wave at 498.753 Hz, how many of those decimal places will someone with perfect pitch get correct? Since classical music is based on discrete notes with intervals of at least a semitone, maybe an error of less than half a semitone is acceptable, because that's enough to sort a note into the correct bucket? But then what's the average error for people who don't have perfect pitch?
This is a bummer. I gather that I'm one of the few users of Google Play Music, so it's not surprising it's being killed. But it was one of the few streaming services that had the ability to upload your own music, a good catalog, and widespread device support.

YouTube music is OK, but worse in a bunch of respects. It separates out your uploaded music into a separate library (admittedly the matching in Play Music was always a bit wonky, but better than just giving up on the problem) which makes finding and managing music much more annoying. The UI is also really, really slow. Tt loads a single page of albums / songs / whatever at a time and takes a second to load the next one.

This can turn the process of scrolling through your albums, which has been effortless since iTunes debuted, into a multi-minute process. I've been hoping ever since they announced the switch that they would improve this stuff but it doesn't look like they've made any progress.
I wonder if they got the idea from the Seinfeld reunion episode of Curb your Enthusiasm where George used his skill in identifying acceptable toilets in New York City to create the "iToilet" app[1].

Apple is a hardware/design company. Google is ad tech company. They have fundamentally different motivations.
In this case, yes. But other rules like "60% to pass a law" are not tyranny of the majority. (Might be tyranny of the status quo, though.)
Can you elaborate on this? I've always felt that the Node community, and the wider JavaScript community alongside it, has always been open to and embracing of constructive criticism, whether or not it's regarding the language itself (TC39, codemods / babel transformers, TypeScript, and any language that targets (Node)JS's ecosystem), established frameworks and libraries (underscore -> lodash, moment.js -> luxon), package management (pnpm, yarn), or even governance (the io.js fork, which was later on merged back into Node) and module systems (es modules, commonjs, et cetera).

Ryan's original criticisms regarding Node were totally valid, but most of them weren't really easily addressable without significant breakage or a long migration strategy, which potentially could've caused a _lot_ of issues and unclarity for many years.
This is RELATIVE pitch, which anyone can develop. Perfect pitch is kind of a mystery. (However, there are some known dogs and frogs with perfect pitch)
I've heard a story of adult acquiring perfect pitch [1]. He made a tool for Win32 platform years ago [2].

I play (hobby) harmonica and I feel them differently. I like dark tone of G (blues in D), bright and someone neutral tone of C, I have A and don't play it much. How can one explain this?

Do you experience Doppler effect on ski elevator? It was devastating. Can it be that harmonica trains ears to find a hole and bend notes? But any fretles instrument should have same requirement (violin).

Some people claim adults can't learn languages, while in reality we lack not neuron plasticity but time, patience, culture. Maybe skill learned by adult and child is different but serves same function. It is fine by me to learn "perfect ear equivalent". At least I can train myself and play with a kid, maybe he would acquire this skill in full potential.

I think youtube-dl failed 1201(a)(2)(C) and 1201(a)(2)(C) because of that README. Like I said, they should fix the README. However, I still consider it rotten that they would forcibly take down a project as big as youtube-dl because of something so innocuous.

A simple "cease and desist" against the youtube-dl project regarding their README examples almost certainly would have been sufficient. Instead, the RIAA took needlessly drastic measures with a DMCA takedown that paints RIAA as a poor defenseless victim from start to finish. This was not an attempt to right a minor copyright infringement, this was a public declaration from RIAA that they are aware of and object to the youtube-dl project.

This part of the DMCA takedown document is particularly rotten:

> The clear purpose of this source code is to (i) circumvent the technological protection measures used by authorized streaming services such as YouTube, and (ii) reproduce and distribute music videos and sound recordings owned by our member companies without authorization for such use.
It’s also a valuable tool for making fair use of content from YouTube without further degrading quality with an additional re-encoding further ruining quality. Of course, little surprise the RIAA would ever admit these tools could be used for anything but piracy.
I am a personal gsuite user, and migrated multiple companies to gsuite over 10 years now (?). That means I tried to force everyone on to hangouts / chat / meet / duo / allo / etc etc. It's not just a turn off in a personal space. It's at the point I have given up on trying to get folks to standardize on google's products.

Google just did a slack competitor, but to click the screen share button (very common in slack to want to talk and screen share to collab) you are forced over in to meet land, which forces you out of your chat and defaults to video (not wanted). It's just such a total mess its totally incredible.
> The early United States overtook Great Britain as the largest economy with minimal central planning leadership.

There is no formal central planning.

The early US presidents are very conscious of the prospect of the nation. They purposely expand the land, clear out regional security threats through wars, deliberately prioritize economical prosper over the claimed moral high grounds (slavery), foster rule by law and encourage participatory democracy.

All these polices are markedly more coherent and centralized than modern day US policies.

You should view totalitarian as a tool to achieve uniformity and consensus. But not disregard uniformity and consensus as being unnecessary foundation of strong nations.

Plus, democracy is a mechanism to reach consensus in a human way, and should always be the most effective and efficient one, if citizens are informed and capable of independent thinking. The rationale men were not only the foundation of free market, they are equally important for democracy. When US leaders purposely dumb down their citizens, they are undermining the very foundation of the strength of democracy.
Maybe not Copyright, but perhaps CFAA, for accessing the site in ways that was not authorized by the site owner.
If e2e encryption is backdoored, there are no safeguards. If a court can read the data, then any "encryption" is privacy theater: either the key has been leaked and stored on government-controlled servers (which means an adversary who got access to the government-controlled servers could read your data without your knowledge too), or the e2e encryption is entirely fake and there's a plaintext copy stored somewhere that, similarly, adversaries could access. If the government can read all of your data, a hacker can too — which in today's age, also includes foreign (or even domestic!) government surveillance programs.

Backdoored encryption isn't real encryption. It's theater.
Wait, you're saying that the market is bonkers because it's so cheap, right? Or is it 150k for an empty lot with no house? Because from my perspective in nearly middle of nowhere Oregon, a house on 8 acres for $150k is crazy cheap.
Would fluorocarbons be detectable in a remote spectrogram of the atmosphere at the levels they existed in the earth's atmosphere? Would the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere be more visible?

From [0] it looks like CFC's peaked on the order of 1 ppb. Humans (perhaps) just detected phosphine at the level of ~20ppb in Venus's atmosphere through telescope spectral analysis [1], but that's on a very close planet that we've been staring at intently for 4000 years; presumably there are compounds present in smaller concentrations that we haven't seen yet. Is there a heuristic for the hypothetical minimum sensitivity relative to interstellar distances?

"Free thinking minority" is so often meaningless that it's hard to find the actual message behind it. 99% of the time it basically means "we share an ideology and are surely very intelligent."
So is the normal usage path to start using osh for interactive use and then use osh in a bash compatible mode to write scripts that are less buggy but can still be run on bash?

Or is it more common to write scripts that tend to then require the osh runtime exist in whatever context they are deployed to?
Which part of the constitution says that?
If you watch YouTube, then probably it's best to stick with Google since you get ad-free YouTube with your subscription (I think?) . Otherwise probably Spotify is better.
TX has a better chance of going blue than FL.

Beto O'Rourke has registered 1.8 million new voters in the past 4 years in the state of Texas, 300k of those were registered in the past 2 weeks. Beto lost Texas by 200k votes.

And so far, TX has been killing it in terms of early-voting. About 75%(!!) turnout so far than what they had in 2016. And we still have 11 days left to go before E-day. Biggest turnout percentage in the entire country so far.

> I think they’re effectively ending the Hangouts brand in favor of Chat. And that includes tying Chat into Gmail. But also a separate Chat app. As for “Hangouts Chat”, which was a thing, I have no idea. I think that’s gone in favor of Hangouts which is now gone in favor of Chat. Again, I think.
Rooms is different. It’s group chat. I think. But it’s a part of Chat, I think. It’s also a part of Gmail which includes Chat, I think. Meet is like Chat for Enterprise with a focus on Rooms, I think. But I actually may be wrong there.

lol! good old Google. As it happens I'm working on my own chat-based discussion site, feel free to check it out. We won't be renaming/repackaging it every 6 months. https://sqwok.im
It's not because OBS does not contain any code specific to circumventing streaming services protection measures. youtube-dl does contain code specific to such circumvention.
Don't they ? It might not be really obvious, but take a Walled garden platform like iOS for example. Already third party developers can't build their own browsers and all are efectively a skin over the Safari web engine.

What this means is that iOS is effectively one lawsuit (ore even major bribe) away from RIAA or other similar unscrupulous group dictating what sites you can access and what you do with the browser. And you can't just sideload another browser due to the walled garden!

And it's not just iOS as there are unfortunately many Walled garden platforms these days - smart TVs, game consoles, browser extensions for some browsers, etc.

Even Android limits what you can do with a ROM that is not rooted - and some high profile apps will refuse to run on a rooted one!
Could you make the argument that the technological measures are not effective and therefore not "effective technological measures" since youtube-dl is able to access the recordings in spite of them?
All these studies like big 5 and gender paradox suffer from "correlation is not causation" syndrome.
I can agree that the studies correctly show what the state is now. But that doesn't mean this is how it SHOULD be.

It can very well be that society is causing these differences. For example, I can claim that women are more agreeable because that's how they are raised by their parents, influenced by their teachers and tv shows, etc. It's a cycle.

These studies didn't uncover some ancient rule of nature. People treat these studies as justification instead of treating them as a wake up call to improve the situation.

You say Sweden has more opportunity yet not many women go in STEM. I see that as a contradiction. Yes, legally, women are free to do any job in Sweden (more or less) but the society doesn't encourage it. Society was built over many years and it developed certain roles for men and women. Go search for boy and girl toys online and see the differences.

I see what you are saying with extremes, but trying to explain this by sports analogies doesn't work because clearly different sports require different physical traits. The fact that there are physical differences between men and women is not under question but does not explain the lack of women in STEM, I would think. The fact that women give birth and take care of children more than men can't (or at least shouldn't) account for this large gap.

> One last time stressing the point: this has nothing to do with individual men and women. This is simply what we observe when crunching the numbers for human populations.

I'll just repeat at the end: observations are just that, observations. They don't tell us how things should be for the better. They just tell us how bad it is now.
> YouTube success is mostly about unlimited access to illegal copyrighted material uploaded by some unknown person in some unknown part of the world

Good point. I quite like that argument.

Not that my opinion actually matters in this case.
Not a lawyer, software guy working in licensing & copyright for 20+ years. Was paid for a few years to talk about this stuff with tech and publishing people.

They're requesting the takedown under 17 U.S. Code § 1201 - Circumvention of copyright protection systems. [https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/1201]
It's a few paragraphs of the actual law at stake here. There's no much to it.

Essentially, they're arguing that Youtube's normal stream distribution technology is "effectively control[ling] access to a work." Given 3A & B from the link above, that will take a fair amount of arguing - there's no encryption, there's nothing that requires information under the authority of the copyright holder (like a key) to descramble the information.

Unless the repo has code that's breaking browser-based DRM, in which all bets are off - breaking DRM is by definition circumventing a technical protection. Doesn't matter if it was easy to break-- you break encryption, there's no more argument over whether you're circumventing. Decryption is right there in the text of the law.

Github agreed to the takedown because they don't want to be distributing a circumvention tool, and they don't feel like going to court over whether this is a circumvention tool or not. There are a lot of repos out there, you can't go to court over every single one. I'd be surprised if it stayed up on GitLab for much more than a New York minute, either.

The EFF might fight this, because there's a pretty good argument around the noninfringing uses; however, they also might not, because there's not much of an argument around whether it violates the Google Terms.

Some us are mentioning that there are use cases for this software that don't infringe copyright. That goes back to Sony v Universal, the VCR/Betamax case, which permitted the production and sale of technologies with "substantial noninfringing uses." In the case of the VCR, the particular noninfringing use was time-shifting of broadcast television, taping shows to watch later. The noninfringing uses here are around downloading works that are in the public domain or Creative Commons, and definitely around offline use. Easily a colorable argument.

The file sharing cases of the early 2000's have drawn some lines around the noninfringing use defense, though. Napster and Grokster both claimed, in court, to support noninfringing uses. However, both products promoted their products as offering free access to copyright-protected works, and the courts took notice of that in both cases-- I believe that the Grokster opinion may have noted that Grokster had never mentioned a noninfringing use outside the trial.

IOW, if you're providing a dual-use technology for noninfringing use that is also capable of infringing use, you absolutely cannot promote the infringing uses to the exclusion of others. Not only do you draw unwanted attention to yourself, you may actually (as in Napster and Grokster) invalidate the most important defense that you have for your activities.
I didn't notice that. Links?
> YouTube Music is ok

No, its quite bad. In addition to being flat-out buggy (I've had it multiple times in the last week just decide to switch to a playlist it invented rather than the one it was directed to play), it doesn't support basic music playing functionality like song or playlist repeat, and (surprisingly) its Google Assistant integration is awful, forcing you to use casting from a different device for basic tasks with an Assistant-powered speaker.
> I'd be willing to bet good money that you don't write PHP without typehints and/or Psalm/PHPstan.

Yeah, think of it like Typescript. Same idea.

> Also, I believe Swoole is process based, not thread or (true) async.

It's a coroutine model, like Go. Very fast. But I don't use it because it's primarily a chinese community, lots of the docs are in broken english. But it's an impressive thing anyways.

IMO, you don't need threading in PHP, there's not really that many situations where it would help during a request-response flow. People generally delegate slow tasks to job queues, which often use https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pcntl-fork.php to fork off workers. Works great.

> That's not what I meant. My wording was poor. I meant specifically `callable`. You can't typehint the inputs and outputs of `callable` parameters. So passing around lambdas, etc, is not robust/safe.

You can though. `fn(SomeClass $foo) => $foo->doThing()`

> and knowing that the inputs/outputs line up with whatever you're doing

Fair enough, but you can use reflection to look at the callable if you care enough. It rarely matters.

> I believe Physics and Machine Learning are really well aligned.

> First, the level of Math that you learn in Physics is a few decades away from what you use in modern Machine Learning. This makes the theory behind machine learning easy to understand.

> Second, and the most important is the mindset. In Physics, people are maneuvering between rigorous theory and actual data, trying to connect them sensibly. Machine Learning is very similar.

> I may be biased about the alignment of Physics and machine learning. Still, I know at least 20 Kaggle Grandmasters that have Physics majors.
As I understand it, there are two definitions of technological measure in the DMCA. One is in the anti-circumvention portion, the other in the anti-cirvumvention-tool portion. In the latter case:

17 U.S.C. Sec. 1201 (b)(2) (B):

a technological measure "effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title" if the measure, in the ordinary course of its operation, prevents, restricts, or otherwise limits the exercise of a right of a copyright owner under this title.
They've had years to fix all the issues people have had with this - and yet everyone still hates it (based on Reddit / App reviews). Playing music offline is broken, browsing playlists is insanely slow, and it lacks so many basic features of GPM/other services (like actual random shuffle and not a smart radio that plays the same 10 songs). Combining Youtube Likes with the music thumbs up makes no sense - I now have lecture videos that randomly play while trying to shuffle my library (that I guess Youtube somehow mistook as music). Even how it integrates with Google Assistant is terrible compared to the old product.

I understand why the switch to the new service was needed, from a license/business perspective. But no idea why they can't just listen to their users and at least match feature-wise the product it's supposed to replace.
I've lost faith in Google's ability to produce software and not just endlessly rebrand things.

Apple has had iTunes, and for a time a music “social network” Ping. The original messaging tool was called iChat before it was iMessage. Apple has also had multiple Internet services that were more or less the same (iTools, .Mac, iCloud). Even Contacts used to be called Address Book, and Wallet used to be called Passbook.

Google still does worse but renaming things is pretty common.

One thing I'd like to point out: The tower in Piza was leaning, and gonna collapse. Then an architect devised a way to fix it. They of course said "hell no" because literally the only thing going on in Piza is the tower. To fix/destroy it would destroy the entire economy in Piza.

Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464
U.S. 417 (1984), also known as the “Betamax case”, is a
decision by the Supreme Court of the United States which
ruled that the making of individual copies of complete
television shows for purposes of time shifting does not
constitute copyright infringement, but is fair use.[1][2]
The Court also ruled that the manufacturers of home video
recording devices, such as Betamax or other VCRs (referred
to as VTRs in the case), cannot be liable for infringement.

How is downloading something from youtube for later offline viewing ("time-shifting") in any way different from recording a tv show?
