You mean horizontal only?

Old Edison disc records encoded single-channel audio in the vertical axis (varying the depth), but regular 78s and single-channel vinyl records encode the audio in the horizontal axis.

When I was in university(mid 2000s) we had this subject called "AI fundamentals" - series of lectures + testing in the end(~2hours per week for 6 months), taught by respected faculty member (or so we thought), it was going to be awesome.
What it actually turned out to be - lecture were dude talking non-stop things like (almost a quote by the way) "AI is not like regular app, it should be capable of taking task in form of 'go somewhere don't know where and bring me something I don't know what' and it would actually solve it. Having that would be true AI and that's what this all is about" and how great would be to have such AI and how close humanity is to it and yadda yadda yadda AI/tech dreamy stuff that you'd see in general media. Once in a while he would mention one or two concepts from AI theory and that would be it. And like that 6 months went by, we learned nothing, passed his "test" (which was pretty much questionnaire about all that blue-sky thinking) to get some default "pass" marks into diploma and that was it.

Lots of smart-y talk, ~zero useful content.

Yes it cares.
If you rename a folder to folder.app then it will change to look and "behave" like an app. Or if you change the extension of a video file to mp3 you'll loose the icon preview.

Finder does try to help with renaming and when you try to rename a file only the filename is selected and not the extension.

Can there ever be a non-work related conversation between employees that is not a "societal and political discussion"? In the past week I have spoken to coworkers about high housing costs (bunch of us are testing the market right now), property taxes, EV rebates, weed legalization, homeless/drug use problem on the streets. All of this is apparently a fireable offense at Basecamp?

People are going to say "obviously stuff like this is okay", but to me that's even worse. The company can and will apply arbitrary rules to whatever they think is unacceptable political speech.

And if they do strictly enforce that employees must only ever communicate about work (and the weather or whatever), then that sounds like a very depressing and dystopian workplace.

Is it really that hard to hire adults who can have reasonable adult conversations (with sometimes differing opinions) without it being a "major distraction"? And is the best response to this really to bow down to the loudest voices on either side and shut down conversation for the 99% who are just...normal?

Have you thought of the fact that maybe you're not the target crowd for film/shows those actors are in instead of claiming BS.
This is a thoughtful post. However, the issue is that these advertisements play into your hopes and fears to maximize the likelihood of getting a click from you. The fact that Google (especially) and other adtech companies are playing into your hopes and fears, by microtargeting and hoarding the most private and intimate details about your life is abusive.

I have to say that I am lucky that I have a print-related disability, because I almost never need to go websites with ads.

Services I get access to (no-ads):

* 975,000+ books for $50/year (Bookshare.org)

* 60,000+ professionally narrated audio books for free (US National Library Service)

* 80,000+ volunteer narrated audio books for $135/year (LearningAlly.org)

* Hundreds of Newspapers and Magazines for free (NFB Newsline)

* 99% of the books posted on OpenLibrary.org for free (even books currently "borrowed")

* Virtually all libraries for print-related disabilities around the world (sometimes free, sometimes paid) (I can get books in foreign languages easily)

Additionally, I use the paid audio apps Blinkist, Audm, and Curio, which everyone has access to. I find them to be super helpful. Blinkist in particular is almost 100% of the time a YouTube and TED talk replacement for me. I also use The Economist app, which has the entire weekly edition professionally narrated, along with the vast majority of the rest of its material.

Law enforcement in most developed countries won't resort to violence to get your credentials but are happy to point your phone at your face.

You do not have the infrastructure complexity and cost of trains. Because vehicles are small (pounds instead of tons), guideways are literally an order of magnitude cheaper. You can build track for $5 million per mile instead of $50 or $100 million per mile. You can build a grid system instead of arterial lines. Guideway is light so can be off the grid and easily avoid dangerous intersections with roads and other ground pathways. A single skytran guideway has capacity of 14,400 per hour - more capacity than 7 lanes of freeway or [3 tracks of at-grade light rail](https://www.liveabout.com/passenger-capacity-of-transit-2798...) and 50% more than grade-separated light rail (which is rare).

Your thinking is out of date.

The expression “employee activists” makes it seem very one-sided.

What about old-school companies where everyone played golf. If you were, say, someone who liked hiking and canoeing, you might have been made to feel like you don’t fit in. Is that the same thing as being made to feel uncomfortable about social issues? Or is it somehow different because “playing golf” is normal, but “advocating for social justice” is not?

A word like “activist” is extremely imprecise. Any time someone is making other people uncomfortable, isn’t that important?

If I was a woman and the water cooler discussion every Monday morning was about various men and their misadventures picking up women in bars, I’d say there was discussion causing strife and division, but few people would say “activists” were involved. If I then complained about the unprofessional water-cooler talk, would I be the activist trying to change the company culture?

If it’s the “strife and division” that’s the problem, we need not restrict ourselves to discussion “activism.” But if the real problem is that we’re ok with some strife and division, but not others, well...

We ought to come clean about that and say, basically, “Don’t try to change anything, not even the stuff that makes you uncomfortable, because this is how we like it, and if something has to change, that something is you."

Ask HN: Offering bounty for bugs in an open source project – good or bad?
We have two well received open source project for web related tools and we could attract a few sponsors via open collective. This means we now have a few bucks we would like to invest back into the community

We thought about offering bounties and then letting users write invoices to our open collective so they can get paid.

The questions would be:

1) Is offering bounties even worth it?
2) What range should a bounty be? min. 50$?
3) Write an invoice and get 100% of the money or use a system?
4) What systems are out there and which one would you recommend?

The Open Source projects we are considering it for is:

> discriminated unions

Java now has sealed classes/interfaces. They are sum types, not sure what is actually the difference between discriminated unions. And with records, you have named tuples, basically product types. As far as I know, Haskell also only has algebraic datatypes.

The syntax is like so:

```
sealed interface Expression permits Add, Multiply {}

record Add(Expression a, Expression b) implements Expression {}
```

(written on phone so it may not actually compile)

And you also have switch expressions enforcing that you have used up every possibility (even null!), and with the coming better pattern matching, Java will become quite an expressive language.
There is obviously a balance to be struck here and I don't think we yet have a great framework for thinking about such problems. A lot of what makes a nice society is social norms and conventions. The group must have a way of punishing bad behavior or that system falls apart.

If there are no consequences for "acting like a Karen" what is the social incentive to stop behaving like an angry toddler anytime you don't get your way? Now extend this to even more extreme behavior like people who say you should be killed just for existing because you're an abomination. Is the argument that we should just get along and there shouldn't be any social consequences for that? Such a view would be incredibly naive at best.

On the flip side clearly people's views do sometimes change, people make mistakes, etc. Changing minds and hearts is a process, not a one-time event, so complete shunning for any perceived slight is rather extreme and can be counterproductive.
Unix-based has almost always used internal metadata, and the "dot" is just another character. I thought Windows was unique in relying on the suffixes, but Wikipedia suggests MacOS inherited some form from NextSTEP.

Wat.

I mean I agree about the incarceration rates, but that's also a complex topic and can't be dismissed as "racism".

Hot take: the Apple TV is easily the best device of its kind on the market and I’m continually confused at why it doesn’t seem to be anywhere close to the most popular option.

Every other steaming device I’ve ever tried is riddled with ads, dark patterns, and slow slow SLOW performance.

I can understand the aversion to a $200 device just to watch some Internet TV but then I watch people making six figures pretend like a $50 Fire/Roku Stick is the best way to watch movies on their $2,000 LG OLED.

If I were buying a steaming device today I’d probably be evaluating the Apple TV against the Nvidia Shield.
It's worth pointing out that there likely is no such thing as the AMO. The scientist who coined the term in some pioneering work in 2000 has, over the past few years, been extremely outspoken that it was probably an errant interpretation of the data available at the time (e.g. https://michaelmann.net/content/rise-and-fall-atlantic-multi...) and even just a year ago published an article in Nature which more or less thoroughly eliminates the possibility of such a mode of multi-decadal variability actually existing (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-13823-w).

What3Words rescue incident
I was researching something similar recently (sticky elements covering anchor scrolling) and there’s a somwhat modern solution to that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/scroll-padd... . As usual with new tech though, doesn’t work in Safari (and hence all of iOS) for now. I wonder if the same property could be used to make pgup/pgdown/space work correctly.
No. Schools are obviously allowed to limit speech inside the classroom. The question is whether that right extends outside.
That sounds good, I had a hunch video playback wouldn’t work. My only other hesitation is that the particular ones only connect over 10Base5, which would involve some extra networking work and SLIP, which I’m not sure is even support on modern Linux given PPP seems to be the go to for that sort of thing now.
The reason I picked and stay with Roku is that they aren't married to a single Big Tech co. I already suffer the lack of a proper YouTube app on my Echo Show because Amazon and Google are having a tiff. I don't want to pick an ecosystem and live exclusively inside of it.

As it is, I'm already in a mixed household (Me with iOS and my wife with Android) and it's a pain to deal with the lack of cross-platform playing together.
Everyone enforces norms some way or another, but their statement implies an unwillingness to forgive transgressions, which isn't a given. Nowadays people's mistakes quite easily become viral memes that are their legacy. Huge mobs of shallowly interested detractors are unforgiving and can cause disproportionate harm.

with the sun at the center
and be able to represent locations at 30 AU (Neptune)
with an accuracy of 1mm, e.g. 30AU vs 30.000...0001AU

FaceID is perfect in no sense of the term.

FaceID works better when your hands are dirty or unavailable (e.g. you're wearing gloves), TouchID works better when your face is covered or your look changed slightly[0].

FaceID has been a strict downgrade for me, there are very few situations where FaceID works and TouchID wouldn't have, the reverse is a daily occurrence. And things would be even worse if I couldn't work from home, as TouchID works just fine with a mask.

However much temperature is increasing, I find the frequency of extreme weather events far more problematic. How many 100/500/1000 year storms has the United States dealt with over the past few years?

Even more to the point, is it possible that the rate at which these extreme weather events is increasing is also increasing?

Without getting into the weeds about particular numbers, it's known that given a global temperature increase, the poles experience the majority of that change. One reason the United States has experienced so much extreme weather of late is because the northern hemisphere polar jet stream has gotten a lot more erratic, in large part because of a declining temperature delta between the north pole and its adjacent temperature bands.

It depends on how you define interesting content of course. For me that is "Tactical or strategic games with a significant enough RNG component to be classified as 'Controlling the Chaos' (think Poker, not Chess) and which have a lively leaderboard. I enjoy watching the competition for Rank #1 and I enjoy competing to see how high I can get. My current favorite game is Team Fight Tactics (Riot Games the maker of league of legends auto battler). You can find the leaderboards here:
https://lolchess.gg/leaderboards?hl=en-US
And my all time highest rank achieved was #540/1,250,000 in North America (not bad at all for an executive and father of a toddler). Pretty much all of the guys competing for rank #1 will also be streamers so finding content is as easy as googling their name from the leaderboard + twitch.

If thats not your cup of tea, probably the best way would be to choose twitch's browse option and just watch the most popular streamers in each game for a few minutes to see if you are into their content. Some are informative, some are looking to appeal to 13 year olds, some are chasing some goal, etc.
Dating sites that make you answer questionnaires and match based on answers are a really good way to get to know people with similar kinks and interests.

While there are specific sites for BDSM dating with more nuanced optoins, the ads for generic dating sites are all very "tame" and try to not deviate from the perceived norm too much (= "find a partner, have a happy family" type messaging)

The reason is that if you do, it's virtually impossible to get included in Ad networks and App Stores.
So you naturally see only dating ads catering to the very conservative viewer.

Example: A BDSM dating site got banned from Googles Play Store after including a background image of a simple leather whip. [1]

It works exactly the same way in macOS Finder as in Windows Explorer. Extensions are hidden by default. You can enable to show extensions (either by individual file, or globally). If a file has it's extension shown, you will get a confirmation prompt warning you of the consequences by changing the file extension.
The tooltip example sounds neat, but that approach will run into problems when your tooltips need to appear near the edges of the viewport.

It's more appropriate to think of this as a class of "the pool of people who might become CEO". It's CEO, CTO, CIO, board members who also have their compensation decided by similar mechanisms, retired CXOs.

Let's take Intel as an example - Retired CEO of medtronic, CEO of Intel, Sequoia, Senior position at Square, former CEO of a foundation, Professor, EVP and CFO Boeing, former CEO of HP, CEO of EA, Darwin Capital.

So in total, of a board of 10, 6 of them are current or former CXOs, 1 is a professor, 2 are VCs and 1 is a senior CXO style position. Yet most of those wouldn't be counted as "CEOs" because they're "retired".
