I don’t understand what’s wrong with the quoted passage. How can that be interpreted in any way that is even the least bit offensive?
> find yourself with a time crunch

It's also important to ask why that time crunch happened. Avoidable mishaps? Random chance? Poor management?
There are lots of ways to structure a firm. Some of them involve the sort of partnership that would effectively make the debts of the firm into shared debts of the partners. But others the debts of the firm are just that, and the only thing a debt of the firm can do to a shareholder is make the shareholder's share worthless. In the first case the partner might have to sell their Berkshire Hathaway shares to help the firm pay a debt. In the second case the shareholder doesn't have to sell off the BRK-B, or their house.
Since this felt like a highly non-credible story to me (because how on earth would this not get funding for a Phase 3 study?), I searched for some corroboration, preferably from a few months ago. And there is some:

If a company wants a passionate programmer, one who has an active Github profile, then in return I want the freedom to maintain that profile and program what I want and post it, without the company saying they own every creative thought I have after they hire me. They can have me while I'm working my 9-5, they can have whatever I create in relation to assigned projects. But if I decide to create a cool game engine, or a programming language, or work on a framework, and especially if they aren't paying me for those specific activities, then I should be able to do that on the weekends if I so choose. Without having a constant fear that their lawyers are going to sue me for "giving away company secrets", when that code has absolutely nothing to do with my job at the company.
There is a fun program that can display this sort of data as you play notes with your ordinary QWERTY keyboard:

https://github.com/kevinacahalan/piano_waterfall

It's portable to Linux and Windows at least. It won't run well in a virtual machine (including a ChromeBook) because it needs a GPU that can scroll the window fast enough.

There are 3 windows. One just shows the selected waveform. The others show an 8192-bucket FFT in red, a 1024-bucket FFT in green, and the active MIDI notes in blue. It's live, scrolling up at 93.75 pixels per second.

The QWERTY row becomes the white keys, and the number row becomes the black keys. F1 through F4 choose the type of sound. Left and right arrows change the octave in use; your speakers probably don't handle the full range very well. The program turns out to be a great speaker test, especially if you change the sound to a sine wave. It's also a great keyboard test; see how many keys you can hold down before your keyboard won't register any more. Individual colors in either window can be toggled with the 2x3 keypad that has Insert, Delete, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn. (the screenshot has green toggled off)

To make a trombone sound, first switch to a type of sound with lots of harmonics, like a sawtooth wave. Pick a low note, then find notes to line up well with the first two harmonics. Switch to the sine wave, and play all three of your chosen notes. For more of a clarinet sound, release the middle of the three that you have selected.
well said, thank you.
Another reason is a substring of a nul-terminated string is only nul-terminated if it is a suffix. So slicing out a substring generally requires copying to a new buffer so you can append the nul byte.
A lot of people think journalism has always strived to be impartial and that couldn't be farther from the truth. In the 19th and early 20th centuries newspapers were explicitly biased like Fox News and MSNBC.

This article has the best summary I've seen. It has less to do with the academic usage of a slur and more the arrogance and forcing everyone to agree with your POV and telling them how they should feel. It wasn't simply an utterance but their unwillingness to listen to opposing views. As well as some allegations that the n-word had been used much more casually by the same offenders at other times. It makes the academic argument seem disingenuous.

I think a definition of thinking close to how the article is using the term is more like:

Thinking is a process of considering options and reaching a conclusion.

Using that definition, or something like it, then I think it's pretty evident that decision making shortcutting is an absence of thinking.
It's a stripped down version of hexo's dark cactus theme: https://github.com/probberechts/hexo-theme-cactus

Don't think it's too popular, but the inspiration may be from elsewhere if you've seen it around.
An interesting social science result is that one (in my mind, the primary) result of wokeness is deminished empathy for impoverished whites. I took ops comment to mean "hey, don't disregard my struggle because i happen not to be black", rather than seeing, as you apparently have, "racist drivel". A point I'm sure has been made a million times, and which you are no doubt impervious to, but one that remains valid nonetheless.

Uh. An API that provides currency exchange rates is a textbook case of a read-only API. Unless that privacy policy is the nonsensical "we receive and process your IP address" (or course you do, that's how the internet works, duh), it has no reason to have one because no data flows in that direction.
Back in highschool the n-word was a daily occurrence because my school was 60% black, 20% hispanic, 10%white, 10% asian. It was also the mid 90's and gangsta rap was en vogue. I remember an occurrence in shop class where a student used the n-word to greet his friend when the teacher became infuriated and told the student to "Please stop using that word. Its insulting to all of us of african descent." The student being the usual class clown he was responded "You mean NI*" shouting the n-word. Everyone laughed. The teacher just shook his head. Another time some of my classmates were singing lyrics to an Onyx song (judicial use of the nword in bakdafukup) and were messing with me saying "come on, sing with us, just say the word" I was petrified to say the n word and they laughed that I wouldn't say it "Oh the white boy is scared to say n** hahaha." Though they finally cracked me and I did sing along and they cheered when I said it. No big deal. Another time a white teacher was also upset with the use of the n-word that she strait up said to the student "So if I said to you 'whats up n**' you would not be offended?" the student casually said "nah its cool now." Times have changed.

Though casually the n-word is used all the time. My puertorican tenant (commercial) uses the n-word with his black coworkers in normal conversation. Even my Guyanese friends use the n-word among each other and their black friends.

So when I read articles like this I am befuddled.
Is 'shroommarkets.com' really a good source for this information?
> Of course, this is a clickbait article and I'm wasting my time even responding to this, but I had a visceral reaction to this that I felt I shouldn't ignore.

Hey me too! I'm _phenomenally_ more creative and productive when "in the field" doing experiments, than when I'm at home / at work trying to predict problems and come up with novel solutions. I'm definitely thinking faster and better when equipment is on the line and stakes are higher.

I really do believe I am more _engaged_ in a problem when it's urgent, expensive, and imminent, rather than very far away. Engagement produces better results for me.

Maybe that's because I'm not thinking faster, but I'm thinking with a higher duty cycle on _this one problem_, but that's not a meaningful, operable insight. Like everything on fs that somehow makes HN.
Yeah, I'm also Gen X and have noticed the same. I have a hard time comprehending incidents like this:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-54107329

(professor suspended for saying a Chinese word mistaken for the epithet, in context that clearly identified what he was saying, on video)
Downvoting of this comment is ludicrous.

This is a very serious accusation and it's irresponsible to fling around such charges without evidence.

There's no way Apple is doing this.
Don't apologize for being optimistic.

I wouldn't have gotten where I have without someone telling me to take my shot and apply to a good college I dreamed about applying to when I was much younger. My parents encouraged me to with their blessing. There were plenty of neighbors and friend who told me it was a moonshot to get in, that I should go to state school, that I couldn't afford it, I wouldn't fit in, yadda, yadda, yadda. But I got in, went, graduated, and I've done well.

I'm sure if my parents told me it was a long shot, I wouldn't have applied. And, I can imagine internalizing this idea that I never had a chance because of who I was and where I was from.

So don't apologize. You don't need to feed the self-righteousness of others.
I think this is completely wrong. Use of charged words is governed by Trust. You have to trust the speaker that they are not using the word in a hurtful way - that they are either using it in jest, or for historical purposes, or for meta purposes.

However, if there is no trust between the audience and speaker, almost any use can be misunderstood. In the particular example from this article, it's not that hard to imagine that him repeating the description the girl gave, but replacing 'the N word' with 'n*r' was not an attempt to be gratuitously shocking or even making fun of their use of more PC language (and not, as I do believe his intention was, an attempt to clarify what had been literally said). They already didn't trust his judgment on issues of race, and they had no idea of his vast experience and institutional standards of when it is acceptable to use this word.

Another note is that, when you don't know what level of trust there is between your audience and you, it's better to err on the side of caution. For example, I don't think it would have been smart of me to use the full word here, because the HN audience doesn't know me and I haven't established my well meaningness and care with such matters. In fact, even if I had established such a reputation, it would likely be a bad idea, since HN is also constantly visited by many first time viewers who would be unlikely to know of said reputation and may well take my use of it as being needlessly hurtful or careless.
You're making a claim too, kevindong.

I'm just asking whether there's any meat to your claim.

I can tell from your response that there is not. For example, evidence would be "this happened to me and I didn't encounter the same consequences for my Apple account."
You still have to provide a password. Fingerprints are not passwords. They are usernames.
Sorry I didn't really specify. By red flags, I mean, an indicator that he comes off to other people as a huge asshole but doesn't realize it. It seems like he is likely to regularly make people uncomfortable and then not notice, or out of self-righteousness, intentionally ignore, obvious social cues that a normal person would respond to.

He says his girlfriend suggested he was a high functioning Aspie. It sounds like she's right. I think I'm a high functioning Aspie. Learning not to do exactly this kind of shit was something I needed to do manually. I don't feel he's done that.
Why all this hate on journalists and newspapers? It is a demanding and very underpaid profession and the whole industry is squeezed.

A few owners sadly own large parts of the media and push an agenda, but I really do not want to imagine a world where newspapers don't exist anymore. They are not perfect and its easy to criticise articles after the fact, but its incredibly difficult to pump out timely and relevant news.

There often is no single truth but rather many perspectives and I don't think we can expect a journalist paid a barely livable wage and working long hours to keep up the highest quality standards every day all day.

Please have some respect for the role this media plays, holding authority to account and getting by and large useful and correct information to the public. That doesn't mean you need to trust every written word, but comments like yours that newspapers are not/don't try most of the time to be honest and fair is simply not correct or fair.
Think of it like simple decisions. X=>Y

You start with some of them: A=>B, C=>D, B=>C, E=>F, B=>G.
You now get A, and need to decide which tool is better: D or F. You start the reasoning: A=>B=>G&C=>D. After 4 reasonings you arrive at the solution: D. If you need to do this reasoning several times, you 'learn' A=>D. Now, when you need to make the same reasoning, you do A=>B&D. You get the same output but twice as fast. You 'learned'. Muscle memory is also a very good example of this.
> Even if it is a larger evil competitor, these do seem like legitimate problems.

I’m asserting that they are likely to be legitimate.

My suggestion is that the reason we are hearing about them so much at the moment could be Facebook’s influence in setting a tone which encourages people to write about problems we didn’t otherwise hear about.

But yes - it absolutely could be a symptom of a breakdown in management somewhere in Apple leading to more customer unfriendly policy outcomes. It wouldn’t be the first time they have gone through such phases.
I think this will be the rough direction, but not exactly text, rather some other efficient, machine-readable embedding of speech that is also able to carry tone and rhythm effectively and pronounciation accurately and unambiguously.
Good point, but I am not sure how much weight it carries. Safety in numbers? You are fine as long as you don't offend anybody?

Have we accepted censorship just like that? What is next, coded language to escape the thugs?

This is true for all groups, though: black, white, Asian, gay, Romani, Irish, Jewish, Catholic -- all of them. And it's a matter of degree. I'm pretty sure a white guy in Appalachia doesn't like being called a cracker (or maybe that's one of the C words) by other white guys in Appalachia, but he really doesn't like hearing this word come out of the mouth of a black person or a coastal, urban white person, or a tree hugger or whatever. And this isn't a new thing, either. It's just that people are more vocal in their irritation. People act like this is some new invention. It's not. People have never liked hearing people in some group who they feel has unearned power over them use the epithets that encapsulate and symbolize this relationship. Maybe it's wrong, but it's a common feature of people generally.
Is Cloudflare's WARP project contributing to a centralized web
Just found out about Clouflare's WARP project and at first glance it seems like a nice initiative - speed up users' connections and make them more private and secure.

But a friend of mine brought a good point - it seems like a step towards Cloudflare centralizing the web towards themselves. They can arbitrary choose what you can access and/or ban resources.
Any opinions?

Spectograms of each note will also make it strikingly clear that there is a dominant frequency invoked and overtones (harmonics) also being invoked that give the sound its full sound-profile. If sound is atmospheric texture, the overtones are irreplaceable grooves in the ether.

The simple sine wave is exactly one dominant frequency in a spectrogram, a line. Instruments such as a trumpet will have upwards of 12 overtones, parallel lines, lessening in strength.

One interesting idea that came to me last night was trying to reproduce the physical 3D model of an instrument based on its spectrographic fingerprint. With enough samples, this ought be possible, and with a 3D printer one might even be able to create interesting physical instantiations of instruments based on spectrographic fingerprints. One could even create never-before-seen instruments based on a generated spectrogram, in an interesting radar-to-ocean operation (as opposed to ocean-to-radar, how radar normally works). Maybe topography-from-radar is a clearer way to state the same.

Generating audio from spectrograms is an open problem and I would love to see more open-source work in this domain.

This is a good framing for thinking about policy, but if you were talking to an individual company that seemed not to be working hard or executing on their goals, then you would give them all the standard advice about correcting that behavior.

This difference between individual advice and group-level policymaking (mentioned elsewhere in this thread by chmod600) accounts for a lot of talking past one another in political debates. They are two totally separate levels of analysis.

What do you mean by "without losing the profits"?

A tax-funded electric firm would surely not share its profits with anyone, and even if it did it would still be at a net loss to the tax payers. (Since _all_ the funding would come from the tax bill - so its entire turnover is socialised.)

A private firm would actually contribute _more_ to our common because it would be a net tax payer.
do you mean "yaweh" ??
