Spatial audio per se is not a scam, but its effective simulation is actually potentially rather complicated and I too worry about its successful implementation by Apple… Funnily enough, I had plans for a system to implement spatial audio using smartphones/headphones originally back in 2006 and more recently wrote an app for iOS trying to implement it (…prototype/demo. that I made worked pretty well - used what I learnt working on games/interactive audio design…) I had toyed with starting a business myself over the years but life got in the way sort of… Before all this was announced I even (naively) wrote to Apple sort of roundabout-ly trying for a job in order to improve their spatial audio offering, believe it or not, but only got a polite sort of: ‘don’t call us we’ll call you’ kind of reply, which was understandable… (…don’t be thinking differently! :) Some students I taught/supervised/wrote a brief for a project of’s up at the university here subsequently started a company making a 3D binaural audio plugin thing - the business was bought by Facebook, whete they were afterwards employed implementing spatial audio into some of their offerings also… Anyhow, don’t want to bore anyone, but happy to answer any questions about it (do actually know what I’m talking about more or less in this area, as opposed to most stuff I read on HN.! :) P.S.

The primary reason is that it uses all of your computer's available cores to walk through directories and copy files, effectively speeding things up by a factor directly proportional to how many cores you have.

On macOS, this is augmented by regular files being copied using the OS's fclonefileat and fcopyfile mechanisms under the hood, which allows even very large files to be copied near-instantly (when compared to copying them block-by-block as classic cp does).

I don't think that it is difficult to determine the scope of the violence, eg: 'gang on gang' compared to 'an angry mentally ill person shooting random people'... which is typically peoples main concern, and you can explain that in a matter of seconds.

It seems like the lack of context gets used to skew peoples perception of an issue just as often as false information, for example classifying gang violence and robberies as "mass shootings" without giving any other details. This can be applied to just about any topic out there. It's easier to leave out details and use esoteric language, than it is to lie about what happened. People can at-least deduce bias/flaws given enough narrative, and a track record of inaccurate context damages an organization's reputation.

Interesting use of history manipulation on that site - back button takes me first to their landing page of stories before letting me go back to HN.

There is a nugget of truth to the propaganda, which is one reason it persists. Critical Race Theory (which seeks to understand the relationship between racism and law) is a branch of Critical Legal Studies (which seeks to understand the relationship between more generalized oppression and law), which is a branch of Critical Theory (which seeks to understand how societies reinforce power structures). Critical Theory arose from the Frankfurt School, and drew significantly from the thinking of Marx and Freud. So, yes, CRT is fractionally inspired by Marx, a notorious racist and anti-Semite. But the Red Scare is alive and kicking in American discourse, so this tenuous link makes for effective gish gallop.

No, it isn't. My motivation for running on EC2 was that benchmarking on a laptop is somewhat noisy due to thermal constraints [1]. I specifically used a bare-metal EC2 instance in an attempt to have a less noisy environment (since VM performance is less predictable and depends on the other workloads running on the same hardware) with proper cooling.

It's not that simple - modern screenreaders cope pretty well with dynamic UI elements (so long as they are implemented correctly); it's actually pretty unfair to force someone who has a screenreader to keep having to start again at the top of a page and navigate back to where they were every time they interact with the page, because you wanted to keep things simple and clean and just serve up plain markup from a server. Sighted users can keep their place on the page across a reload, but screenreader users might be back to hearing the title and top level nav options again.

Remember that what blind users use to interact with plain web navigation is called 'assistive technology' - it adds more interaction options onto plain web pages. You couldn't build such a thing with just HTML.

In general, JavaScript offers the opportunity for web-delivered experiences to be improved - for all their users.

Browsing with Javascript disabled means you are not going to get to enjoy those benefits. And I don't think that businesses should all feel obliged to try to provide a completely equal experience for someone who chooses to browse with such a restriction.

> I wonder if big aerospace and defense companies like Boeing, and automakers, and heavy industry, and so on, might decide it's in their interests to collectively buy and open-source an existing commercial CAD package rather than risk being held hostage to the vendors that gatekeep their engineering.

I doubt it. The vendor/client relationship is a lot more collaborative and symbiotic than most people would think. I'm not sure about Boeing specifically, but I do know that their competitors work very closely with their CAD vendors. Part of the contracted agreement is to have a software team on the vendor side work with the engineering team on the design side to produce essentially a custom fork of the software.

On one hand, yeah, the CAD vendor could play hardball and hold a client hostage. But on the other hand, there are only so many Boeings out there. So if you push them away, that revenue will be hard to replace.

Most likely situation is the one that's played out a few times before: acquire your vendor.

I think there is mismatch in publicly here. When private consumer's computers gets hijacked, those kind of stories can show up in normal non-technical newspapers, as a warning or a horror story for other consumers.

But does hijacking of servers create that kind of publicity? Sometimes companies have to admit that they have been hacked because of data leak. But do they publicly admit for every breach? Is it in private companies interest to go public with that kind of information? And if they do, does it reach non-technical newspapers?

735 and 775 are pretty useful too. They clearly communicate why a page wasn't available and what the user can do about it (get a proper browser, and fuck-all, respectively).
I don't get what's so difficult to understand here. It used to be straight-up illegal for certain people to live certain places. The system shifted to covert discrimination once that overt discrimination was outlawed. Housing became an investment so the people with equity would never want to dismantle the system, and all the accessible jobs went away. Now the people who used to be overtly discriminated against have no ladder to climb.

Okay, so… there is a way. You can value things by tax auction.

- first every owner self-values their assets at $V and pays X% of $V

- then an interested buyer bonds $W>$V earnest money

- then the owner pays Y% of $(W-V) or the buyer gets it for $W plus tax of Z%

Rates around 1% could replace all other taxes in this scheme. Do I think it’s a good idea? I don’t know. Recipe for bureaucrat moral hazard.

"It turns out many of the best jobs really can be performed from anywhere, through screens and the internet. [...] This is, I believe, a permanent civilizational shift. It is perhaps the most important thing that’s happened in my lifetime, a consequence of the internet that’s maybe even more important than the internet. Permanently divorcing physical location from economic opportunity gives us a real shot at radically expanding the number of good jobs in the world while also dramatically improving quality of life for millions, or billions, of people."
The point is that starting a discussion with “black people ______” and “white people _____” sounds like you’re speaking about all (or even most) black / white people.

If you say “As a black person, I feel uncomfortable with a majority white Senate granting a holiday when I don’t feel respected by government institutions or feel like the need for reparations is being respected” it gives space for people who disagree with you to still hear your opinions.

The average person's knowledge of ancient Greece and Persia doesn't extend far beyond 300 and other sword and sandal type epics. They think of Greek deities as ancient history. Worship of the Greek pantheon isn't a mainstream thing. They probably don't give any thought to the ancient Persians' religion. Certainly I don't imagine most people know it's still around.

Well, if we go by Twitter, it is a stereotype, though as stereotypes they can be wrong, such as when someone recently on Twitter tweeted before the Id of the perp was made public said, another white male (about a mass shooting). Unfortunately? for her and her retweeters, that ended up being wrong.

Also it's the stereotype for serial killers. So, what, now they can't mention if they guy was white because it's a negative stereotype?

> Their "best effort" would be to change the filibuster and get it done.

This seems like an iffy proposal. Changing most judicial nominations to simple majority has had a significant impact on the judiciary. Eliminating the filibuster for potentially short-lived gains while handing opposition a nearly blank check for future legislative victories seems like a long-term problem. It seems likely to exacerbate political tensions rather than relieve them.

One can argue that the deliberate nature of the Senate is inimical to justice and therefore has to change, but when the pendulum swings in the other direction it may prove to move too rapidly to injustice.
And how is that comparable with an appointment to the number one top position in the authority over thousands of regulations governing thousands of companies etc.

Man is made is god's image, or vice-versa, in either case religion is always about humans and their deeds.

You've rather missed the point if you seek a religion not focused on humanity, because in every case religion is an explanation for the persistent mystery of the purpose of our own self-knowledge. If a cosmology does not present a teleological explanation for the existence (and often, attendant suffering) of its followers, it is more a pseudo-science than a religion.

Arguably Scientology strays the furthest from "human centered," with an eschatology apparently centered around humans being mere vessels for other beings. But still, this is an apologia for the existence of humanity.

Questions around the math aside, in Australia for federal elections the polling booths are open from 08:00 through to 18:00 - and the process to hop in and vote is typically fast, at least compared to what we see on the news for USA elections.

In either case, it means the number of people who can't get to a polling booth during those 10 hours on the Saturday is relatively tiny. And, as you and parent noted, early / postal voting is a convenient, non-contentious, trusted option.
