People without perfect pitch (even non-musicians) can often hear that an equal-temperament major triad is a little bit more dissonant than a just-temperament major triad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcCkn0p7HDE.

I don't have perfect pitch, but as a guitarist I often tune my 3rd string to be a little bit flat (relative to equal temperament), because many chords I play have their major 3rd on that string and it sounds better to have it closer to just temperament.

Regarding singing, one of the reasons that Barbershop music has such a beautiful/smooth sound is because the vocalists sing the intervals of chords in just temperament, despite the fact that the bass note moves around in equal temperament. This is covered well by the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music.
The intent is pretty clear. Unfortunately, the actual legal language is as clear as mud:

"that does not expose or give access to, directly or indirectly (e.g., via a wrapper), the Timescale Data Definition Interfaces or the Timescale Data Manipulation Interfaces to any person or entity other than You or Your employees and Contractors working on Your behalf"

If I have a system, and it has an AJAX API, at what point am I violating this? Virtually every system I build provides customers with access to data via some API which uses "SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE" "via a wrapper." I have no intent of competing with TimescaleDB for hosting, but it's hard to argue that data interface don't provide some form of access to Timescale Data Manipulation Interfaces "via a wrapper."

"the customer is prohibited, either contractually or technically, from defining, redefining, or modifying the database schema or other structural aspects of database objects, such as through use of the Timescale Data Definition Interfaces, in a Timescale Database utilized by such Value Added Products or Services"

I won't even begin to get into this one.

If you build on this kind of legal language, you're taking on a legal liability the size of a moon crater.
Yes, "Guns" is wildly entertaining. Why we stopped at domesticating horses: Donkeys are only mildly irritable. If a Zebra bites you in the thigh your only option is to shoot it.

I sensed an intuitive truth to the instructions on manipulating people. And I sensed that Karl Rove was following this playbook. Whether it has scientific veracity, to my dismay it worked for him.

As for "Sapiens", I love how it's translated into so many languages. There's even an Audible version in Catalan. It's so much easier to learn a language when you know what the text is about to say.

But how do you get to bribe school officials so your kid, who obviously is entitled to go to MIT, gets in? You're telling me they have to actually work!?

What's sad actually about that is it was far more meritocratic than the current system in the US. Now it's just an extension of high school that honestly has become just as easy as most high school classes depending on where you go.

I mean really. Do you really think that if someone who's unsuccessful because of laziness that if only they hadn't heard about systemic racism they would have a better work ethic? The laziness comes first. The excuse is crafted after the fact. If it wasnt that they'd claim to have some other disadvantage or problem.
Agricultural land or just Arable land?
Makes perfect sense until you consider the massive amounts of inputs, measured in land or energy, it takes to grow those crops on the smaller amount of land footprint you ARE measuring.

I see no harm in banning advertising based on personal information (at least without explicit consent) and a lot of good that would result.

This isn't about banning any type of ad, this is about removing a destructive way of targeting ads.
Big question! Posting on HN is good but of course it’s a one off. Then you are looking at SEO, article marketing, social media. You need to think about who wants this and where they hang out. I normally find tools like this in Google, or more recently DDG.

If your product is awesome enough you could post it in Reddit’s directly. I’m not sure it’s there yet because there are a lot of competing sites that do the same thing. Maybe technically you are better but from a user point of view I seem to get the same kind of result as any other domain name suggester.
It seems like an efficient, uncruel and expeditious way to take care of the task at hand.
Is it even interesting though? How can it be trusted at all?

This kind of study is really easy to massage into the result you want. You're dealing with extremely variable, large-scale supply chains.
You're confusing the problem here.

Sometimes coping with issues is just learning to ignore them, you must learn that even though you feel hurt there it is not worth putting energy into dealing with what people say and do.

People forget that 50% of the people on the planet are below average, its best to remember that when you're dealing with life. You can't expect these people to have reasoning and logic skills, emotional resilience or even base levels of compassion.

"Toughen up princess" can frequently be the best advice you can give someone.
I've built a lot of control systems, and I've learned the hard way that switches and relays (including solid state) can fail. And they can fail in both the "off" and "on" positions.

It would probably be beneficial to monitor the status of the control outputs, to see if they actually agree with the inputs.

Also, of course the microcontroller and its code are points of failure like you say.

A spoken math exam was the following:

There were printed tickets that contains different question (typically 3) from all math coursed tough in school.

A person randomly picks the ticket (that were present, and questions unknow before you pick it) and was given time to answer the questions.
After that he sit face to face with person who take the exam (typically if was the professor form university) and explain him your answer, while examiner can ask you additional questions related to your answer, etc. Based on your answer he grades you.
In this system you cannot cheat the exam, since examiner will quickly realize if your answer were from cheat or you knew the subject.
The data very clearly shows the opposite: economic development and rising income levels are very strongly associated with decreasing number of children per mother.

Birth rates in nearly all the high income nations are below replacement. Most of the middle and low income countries are on the same path, with central Africa being a notable exception.

Before his dead Hans Rosling did some great talks about this sort of thing. I'd suggest watching at least one of them on youtube or such.
That's good and all but the taste is still far off from normal. Impossible is a lot better but still not an exact fit.
Definitely for me. Having to sign for pens snd pencils was a thing at one place. They later went broke. My contract ended two years before they did, I wonder if it was the stationery budget or the bad will it caused?

The design of Clubhouse doesn't start with rooms: it starts with people. You follow people you want to listen to, and when they happen to be in rooms--rooms either they started or that were started by someone they know who they follow and so they joined and were invited on stage--you get notifications and see those rooms on your list. You don't go into Clubhouse searching for rooms--they didn't even try to add features to let you rhino about rooms until December, and it frankly felt like they simply gave up on their vision--you search for people. (FWIW, that a system where you value people above content, and where rooms largely fork out of cliques of people who want to be associated with each other's followers, leads to "a circle jerk for the hosts", as you call it, might be obvious... at least in retrospect ;P.)
I'd argue further that the most successful are not at all distinguishable as adds. They masquerade as content but are paid placements or placed just for the sake of advertising.

Gonna state the obvious: it seems like you two came there for different reasons: being entertained (you) / meeting up with acquaintances (parent). Like YouTube versus WhatsApp?
He's saying implausible sounding ideas should be dismissed because they are implausible, not because of the credibility of the person behind it. Then he makes one exception which is when the person is credible.

That's different to saying that the idea should be dismissed merely due to lack of credibility of the person, which is what the second statement is talking about. The primary reason for dismissal in his first statement is the idea's implausibility, not the credibility of the person.

If his first statement said "all ideas should be dismissed, but for ones proposed by credible people", then that would be inconsistent with his second statement.
Kind of how I feel about dead people voting. Or people voting who don’t live where they are registered. Or votes being counted without valid signatures.

For instance, I started re learning guitar and sax after almost a decade of playing neither. And unlike being a loser kid in band, as an adult, I fully recognize they're cool skills many people actually appreciate which makes it extra rewarding to practice in my free time.
Not familiar with old Russian system but there are oral exams for math in France when you apply to "École d'ingénieurs" (engineering school), and it still exists today:

It's basically like a coding whiteboard interview, but instead of being asked to invert a binary tree, you're asked a math question (proof of something, etc)
They are referring to cash settlement, not spending ability, I believe ("You realize that settlement takes weeks?"). The difference is nearly unnoticeable to the end user, whether or not the actual cash is moved, because they can still spend it.
And 5x more sodium, which is a shame because I really do like the way they taste.
And if you’ve tried one, just about 99% less taste.
In many cases what people failed to anticipate was simply how successful online advertising would prove to be. Many of these ideas were just ways to lose money when they were first implemented.

For much of the 20th century, studying effects of electric and magnetic fields, and microcurrents in bodies, was effectively forbidden in the US. You couldn't publish, get grants, get tenure. (Robert Becker somehow got a free pass, from the Veterans Administration.)

I have no clue how it was enforced, but the best guess I have for the reason is that it was to protect broadcasters and electric power distribution system operators against liability for any such effects they caused that might go wrong.
There's too much soap in each tab (to sell more tabs). They also often include things that a dishwasher do need but not where the tab goes. For example some have salt in them (which doesn't belong in the main compartment but in the water softener).

Thomas Kuhn. I feel sorry for the guy. His work is the basis of so much armchair worldview building about the modern world and is relevant to a cultural practice of science that died out 200 years ago.

I always assumed that this was an artifact of recording technology: if you can record a movie or music, then you can have a handful of actors and musicians service the entire world, but without that each city needs its local musicians and theater troupes. If that's correct then we've been in this state for maybe 1 century.

For writers though it's been centuries, since writing enabled distribution of content in many places.
That's a big if. I'd be happy with just GPT-2.

Well, maybe it seems like it's just trying to get you to shut up, but part of that message is that you're the one who's in control of your reaction, and that's what you can reliably control in that kind of situation. That even if your feelings are hurt, fundamentally you can still be OK, if you can learn to let it slide off you rather than getting all tied up about it. That's a pretty helpful, if difficult, lesson to learn.
Interesting update.. I thought it was a bit disappointing that they're building a community in discord though, as there's good open source alternatives available like matrix.

I'll stick with the IRC channels anyway.
No they aren't. They hold worthless knowledge that literally anybody capable of reading and writing can do. They aren't some sort of priestly class that are only allowed to read and edit Wikipedia pages. They just wasted time getting a degree in something that people only do for fun to satisfy they're curiosity. There is absolutely no skill in being able to read and write about something if everyone else is capable of reading and writing.

At least in the US, the university system has become another enormous mid upper-class handout scheme, much like healthcare. It's governed and protected much as a cartel might protect its turf.

Again as with healthcare, all you have to do is look at who got all the money from the cost of education hikes - where did it all go - over the past two decades. We know where it went, we know who got that money. There is nobody willing to do anything about it, the latest proposals are to just throw more money at the disaster (which will send the cost of education even higher), more de facto welfare handouts for an already well-off class of white collar parasites.
My business has generated more profit than it has spent on ads. ;-)
I did the above and truly recommend it. Great mix of theory and practice.
I went the opposite, initially wanted humanities (history) but went into CS/Math for money. I ended up quitting after two years and just taking an associates (started at a community college,) but I wish I’d have stuck with humanities. I already knew programming from doing web design as a kid and trying to start a dozen companies so I didn’t learn much and I passed all my classes with flying colors despite hardly ever showing up and never paying attention. Not because I’m a genius but because I already knew CS 1&2 + data structures and I did Kham Academy up to Calc 2 as I was just interested in it personally (this I think aids your point that you don’t need school) but the one history class I took really had me. It’s the only place where I could talk about all the history I read and listen to where people knew some stuff to debate. Only time get to discuss history outside of Reddit these days is with “WW2 history buffs” which is like the Saturday morning cartoons of history.
I too wonder where the samples from music I listen to comes from, and thank goodness the Internet already documented it for me to find :)
I'm using the teensy for a bunch of keyboard projects and having a blast.

On the other hand, FPGAs have warped my sense of what is possible though. Allocating s corner of a chip to one role and having other areas do other tasks at the same time with no context switching (...because hardware) gets very addictive.

I think those networks are based on things are useful without the social network, the network itself isn't something they use on an on-going basis (for example, I doubt Ferrari owners gather everyday to increase DAU numbers on an app, probably more like bi-monthly track meets which is fun by itself).
Wait, what?

We went from "teaching about systemic racism might be harmful", to "systemic racism doesn't exist", to "Blacks are inherently different from other races, which will naturally lead to different outcomes" to "critical race theory might lead to nazism."

This is a wild rollercoaster of a thread and I want off of it. To jump off the original commenter's point, if you're concerned that there might be harmful outcomes from teaching students that society is keeping them down, why aren't you worried about similar outcomes that might come from teaching them that their race makes them inherently less suited for certain tasks?

I mean, think about what you're implying here. To claim that inherent race differences is the reason there's a Black wage gap -- ignoring everything else about that statement, it's way more fatalistic than telling kids that there are adverse social structures they should be aware of. Imagine being a teacher in a poor neighborhood and telling your class that the negative experiences in their life exist because of the fact they're Black -- not because of systemic racism, not because of laziness, not because of luck, but because of how they were born. You really can't get more fatalistic and harmful than that.

It's so utterly embarrassing to see comments like this on HN, directly under other comments that claim that racism is a solved problem. Sometimes this community really creeps me out, I'm watching people in the same breath argue that racism is solved and that Blacks are genetically predisposed to being poor. How does this pass muster?
> I think our industry is big enough to have some parts where your point applies, and other pockets with completely different dynamics.

Yeah, I agree, that was kind of my point.

I see a lot of people who talk about software development as if FAANG is the only game in town, but like you said, our industry is big and only getting bigger. If you know where to look there are tons of laid back tech jobs that don't expect you to eat, sleep, and breath code.

I disagree with you though that there are only a select few who will be able to get these jobs. I think as time goes on, were only going to have more legacy systems that will require knowledge of older languages. Also as tech continues to infiltrate every other aspect of our lives, more and more companies will start to need one or two in house developers to do random tasks where no one cares whether you're using the latest and greatest technology.

> That said, California's water is probably best used in high value add industries like semiconductor manufacturing.

California has some of the best soil for farming in the country (or even the world). A gallon of water used for agriculture in California will be more effective than a gallon used for agriculture in most other places.

As far as I know there is nothing that makes California a great place for semiconductor manufacturing. A gallon of water used for semiconductors in California isn't more effective than a gallon used for semiconductor manufacturing anywhere else.

That argues for prioritizing in California water for agriculture over water for semiconductors.
> For some, there's the cost of paying for a product or service that an ad misled them about. They may pay more than they should have or get something which is portrayed a certain way in an ad which doesn't hold up in reality.

This is a big one. Something being free with advertisements doesn't mean that we're not paying for it, just that the way we're paying for it is hidden. Companies don't pay Google money for altruistic reasons, they're paying because they can earn more.

If you think about it, we're actually likely to pay more when we pay through ads. Google wants X dollars. In a subscription model, we pay X. In an ad model, a company gives Google X, because they think they can make X + P (profits). So they get us to buy a product we don't need, and in order to recoup their loss we need to be paying the manufacturing cost M (we'll pretend other costs like transportation and retail markups are included in here as well), plus X, plus P. Otherwise the advertising isn't worth it. Instead of us paying X to Google to us their products, now we're paying X+P+M for their products in a very roundabout way, and then calling it free.
Beyonds sausages imo are much better than their burger.

Impossible is the real burger king in this category
So is that comparing against plain red meat with no salt added? Because if so that’s not really a fair comparison because you generally add a decent amount of salt to burger whereas you don’t really need to for beyond
Less taste? That's not a complaint I've heard nor experienced. I've always found Beyond burgers to be a bit strange, sure, kinda like the uncanny valley of hamburger patties, but I certainly never found them to be bland.
I feel like most comments here reflect actual reality. Middle class of America is incredibly privileged. I feel like vocal minorities took over the media circles and got amplified disproportionately, especially after the pandemic hit and the only way to get information was through these narrow channels.

If possible, go out. Talk to people. It's quite refreshing how different the world is outside of the media machine.
I agree, but also find joy in the larger “burger experience” (toppings, bun, fries, soda, presentation, etc). I hope I’m not the only one.
