This is very much true. I've played saxophone with lots of pleasure for many years without being able to read notes properly (spell notes would be more accurate). But I've found that being able to read notes is a useful skill and once I've decided on something like that I tend to plod away at it until I get it, I'm a pretty slow learner but I have good stamina which is what usually gets me to the end of the race. As long as I'm enjoying myself it will work out fine.

The main takeaway from your comment is that whatever you do with music should be fun, to make sure you don't destroy your motivation. And just like there is fun in being able to improvise there can also be fun in being able to play some piece perfectly (which, as you can see from the linked video I still had a long way to go with on that piece when I made the recording, it is actually much better now :) ).

Incidentally, the biggest consumer of the software in my house is my son Luca, who has taught himself a whole raft of pieces that he likes, he learns far faster than I do and his confidence is impressive, huge jumps from one end of the keyboard to the other without ever looking down, and all that with nothing but the software to guide him. He tends to come to me with some piece he wants to play, we find a youtube video, I extract the mp3, turn it into a score, we polish the score until it looks and sounds just right and then he's off to the races. Floors me every time how fast he will master something and how confident he is when playing.
I'm annoyed by how IBM is trying to add z/OS support to open source projects. It makes sense for them of course. But for the projects there's little upside and it forces them to spend reviewer time on a system basically nobody uses.

Who wants EBCDIC in 2021 [1]? Or workarounds for yet another proprietary compiler everywhere [2]?

Open-source projects might want to think about rejecting patches for working around bugs in closed-source compilers, or patches that port to closed-source OSs that don't have a significant user base.

The hypothesis that this was a gain-of-function experiment that went awry due to lax security still does put a lot of pressure on Chinese authorities, on top of the poor handling at the beginning of the outbreak.
That said, it would be interesting to design a piece of software that helped you learn to play by ear! Maybe something that plays a short phrase or chord progression and asks you to repeat it. Improvisation is tougher because there’s no good way for software to say if you’re making progress or not...
Yes it's not like solar panels are condensed out of the air with zero waste. They have to be manufactured, in a process which almost certainly isn't carbon neutral yet. The materials used to make them have to be extracted from somewhere. They're transported to the installation site on the back of diesel-burning trucks.

It's not because we consume too little electricity: it's because it's not convenient just yet (but we're getting there thanks to tech advance).

One sign of a bubble -- to me -- might be purchases which are out of line with income/yield. One could theoretically make growth assumptions, but even with that baked in, sometimes the PEG ratio is irrational and that suggests a bubble.
Canadian mortgages are not quite apples-to-apples with US ones. They have similar amortization schedules but the term is only generally 1-5 years (although you can get 7 or 10 year terms at fairly awful rates), after which it can be rolled into another one (at whatever rates are then) or fully paid off without penalty.

Your summary is incorrect. They are not taking their results to indicate that their assumption is incorrect, but rather that the anti-female bias must be even stronger elsewhere to overcome the significant pro-female bias at initial stages.

The author asserts "Gender makes no difference in programming skill'. How do we know this is true? Certainly there are men and women who are good programmers and (more) men and women who cannot program. But the assertion that the same fraction of men and women have an aptitude for programming needs to be justified, not just proclaimed.
In the NYC case the property taxes go the other way. A rental unit is taxed at a much higher rate than an equivalent condo. Nonetheless the effect you point (speculation) is so strong that renting still comes out ahead.

Both Cardano and BNB use proof of stake, with Cardano being much more decentralized (but smart contracts are coming next few months), and BSC/BNB being the most popular currently. You can also use BTC as a wrapped asset (backed by a smart contract) on both the BSC/Eth networks.

PoW is going away quickly, but Bitcoin is not going to move, the "difficulty" is by design at least in the current concept of it as a storage of value.

Edit: By the way, it is possible (or will be in the future) to run staking pools on Cardano on Raspberry Pis, and get the same benefits as bigger hardware. Currently it needs 4~8gb of ram afaik, but pis are getting faster every release, next one might be good.

Can you direct me to the thread in which you detail what Stallman did to damage "student perception of anything associated with the FSF" at your university?

I have seen Stallman speak at various universities over the years, and I have witnessed the same speech and its intrinsic message fall flat on its face at, say, Stanford, whilst receiving a rapturous response from students at Berkeley just a week later.

The prevailing student culture has much to do with how well a message is received, particularly in these politically charged and volatile times when people so easily get distracted from the message by the messenger himself, or even third-party reports regarding the messenger's past.
That's not how it works.

Out of curiosity, where does the 30% of gross income max sunken come from? Considering that other living expenses don't also rise with more expensive homes, I don't understand why we'd use a flat figure. If it costs $40k to live per year, and you make $80k post tax, then you have $40k left over to spend on a home per year. If you make $100k post tax per year, you have $60k left over. That's a 50% increase for a 25% increase in salary. There's no reason it should be flat.
As a Canadian homeowner, I don't actually know anyone that floats month to month.

Second: it's more complex than "no 30 year fixed". I have a 30 year mortgage, but I need to 'renew' (renegotiate) it for a new term whenever my term ends- typically 5 years, though I chose a 3-year term last time. The internet rate is fixed throughout the term. At renew, it's totally normal to change banks if they offer a better rate.

> Why is this the best option? Are wealthy Chinese forbidden from buying foreign stocks?

Yes, does it sounds surprising to you?
On the off chance there are policy makers here, I’m surprised there’s not a bigger focus on land transfer taxes and their impact on home prices.

When you purchase a home in Ontario, as a buyer, you are expected to pay an additional 2-5% of the purchase price in taxes. You need to have this money when you close, in addition to your down payment, and it is remitted immediately to the government.

This can be the equivalent of 5-10 years in property taxes, depending on the purchase price and how your home was assessed. And you pay it every time you move (and buy a new home)!

This pushes the tax burden disproportionately onto new homeowners, and incentivizes folks to stay in their homes for longer (don’t forget the additional 5% paid to agents).

It reminds me of Prop 13 in California, which similarly disproportionately taxes new homeowners and incentivizes people to hold onto property forever.

(Note: my numbers here are fuzzy, and I’m not a real estate expert, so someone here is welcome to correct me if I’ve incorrectly interpreted all this.)

If you’re American, this statistic can be very deceiving.

America is used to things like 30 year term, 30 year amortization. This is an American fixed product.

I’m Canada, that doesn’t exist.

In Canada, you have things like 5 year term, 25 year amortization. That’s a fixed product (and it’s expensive).

After many years of locking terms, I just use floating rates for financing all my Canadian real estate. Huge savings.

>> amount to generational warfare

This is such a great comment. It is partly generational warfare, partly class warfare, and partly institutional-vs-retail warfare.

Now matter how you look at it though, there are winner and losers and policy-makers have chosen those winners and losers by way of policy.

Unfortunately, this is easy which is why it is done -- people feel pain but the network of cause-and-effect is too complex for people to put a finger on the root cause.
That is one reason why I never liked C and C++ was a better option when coming from Turbo Pascal 6.

Although Turbo Pascal isn't Ada, it did allow for a similar approach with stronger types, which C++ also kind of supports (but C compatibility spoils it).

A lot of mobile cameras now take high resolution images (108 MP, 50 MP) and downsample them to something like 8 or 12 MP. Since this is done in the same way every time I guess any systematic noise could still be detected, but it will be attenuated and even more difficult to find, and that's before JPEG compression, multiple frames fused for HDR, and so on.

Tying a specific camera to one or a few photos in a criminal case sounds extremely dubious. Natural images are full of different kinds of noise anyway, and each pixel only has 256 levels of intensity.

We are approaching the 20 year mark and they were resoundingly correct.

Disagree re pitch accent being unimportant - it depends what your goals are and what your experience level is. If you’re competent enough with grammar but screw accent up constantly Japanese people get tired of listening to you, when you nail it people are more at ease talking to you in my experience. Like someone messing up stress in English all the time.

If your goal is to get over that then it’s absolutely worth studying, and arguably it’s worth studying early before you pick up bad habits in the first place.

As the parent mentioned, it’s all dependent on your goals.

A much closer analogue would be the words used in English together uncountable nouns:

Which techniques are these?
The problems Canada is having with real estate values is a good argument for high property taxes on real estate. When home owners have to pay 2-3% the annual property value it creates a strong incentive to use property in the most economically productive way. You don't get stuck in situations like this where homes become like bitcoins for rich chinese who want to park money overseas while buying into a bubble.

High property taxes can then be offset by lower income and sales taxes which only affect people who actually live in these cities. The end result is cheaper housing even after taxes.
I mean, it sounds like the Japanese objectively did not smell bad. You also hear about the Latin Americans complain about the stench of Columbus and his crew. Was it just the stench of sailors, or did these cultures know a fix?
English uses those also to some degree: a case of beer, a carton of eggs.

First result I found:

> in San Francisco – as well as many other high-cost cities such as Vancouver, London, and New York – we see a different phenomenon: an
extremely tight housing market with skyrocketing rents, that puzzlingly also has a high vacancy
rate.

...

> It is difficult to know whether an “absentee” or foreign buyer has an intent to occupy the unit or rent the unit, or whether the unit is intended solely to be an investment property.

...

> In August 2017, CoreLogic estimates that absentee buyers purchased 15.8% of homes in the San Francisco Bay area. In September, this number increased to 17.1%. 23 Thus, while we do not know how many of these units purchased by absentee buyers in the Bay Area may be held vacant, it seems to be a significant amount of ongoing sales in the region.

The headline here is ambiguous and potentially misleading.

The judge ruled that the QI factors weren’t met in this case and so it doesn’t apply. That happens in every successful 1983 case.

He did not rule that QI, as a judicially created doctrine untethered from the statutory text, should no longer be applied.
It's a game of cat and mouse of course.
Okay, so entrepreneurs should not be allowed to become wealthy. How do you plan to enforce that? What about politicians, should they be wealthy? How about their friends and donors and special interests that get giant contracts and banking monopolies? Should the people that control the money supply be ‘allowed’ to get rich off of it?

Is there a single example in all of history where attempts at enforcing wealth or income equality didn’t just end up putting wealth into the pockets of those in power? I’m sure this time is different.

If you spend Canadian dollars on Chinese products then what will happen to those CAD? There is a 50 billion trade deficit with China. The Chinese keep accumulating more and more CAD and they don't buy anything with it... except housing and companies because Canadians aren't producing anything that the Chinese want to buy. Now the obvious thing would be to just do the same thing the Chinese are doing. We buy Chinese products, they produce them. They buy our houses, we produce them. Turns out, we forgot to do that.

Of course, this isn't the only factor. There are probably dozens of factors that are causing prices to rise but Chinese investors are highly price insensitive because doing anything with the CAD they have is better than letting them sit around. What else are they supposed to put the money into after all?

There’s an ongoing international failure to protect young people from various investors creating a generation of neoserfdom in the form of REITs, foreign real estate purchases with no intent for the owner to live in the property a minimum of 51-80% of the time to encourage GNI growth, rampant house flipping, the spread of HOAs, and virtually no assistance to first-time prospective home buyers.

In my opinion things are so bad, I don’t know how these politicians aren’t getting killed. Maybe young people are too ignorant to know everyone is screwing them and that’s why we have no civil unrest.
