In some cases the mono mixes were the ones the Beatles themselves were present for. Some of the stereo mixes were the audio engineers experimenting on their own — this is why Beatles mono mixes are highly sought-after. Can’t recall whether Sgt. Pepper’s was a mono mix originally, but probably an easy search to find out — I’m too lazy to go to my bookshelf and flip through to the Beatles studio notes at the moment…

I’ve imagined this kind of solution before, great to see someone doing it. Nice work! How does the grouping work? Is it random each time?
It is mostly PR.

Among all Amazon workers, the median pay is $28,446 a year ($13.68 an hour), a figure the company revealed this year for the first time because of a new regulatory requirement. That’s a worldwide figure that includes full and part-time workers. Glassdoor, an employment site, says average pay at U.S. fulfillment centers has been $13 an hour, according to nearly 900 people who submitted their data to the site.

Amazon’s pay is significantly above the $10.28 an hour that the typical retail worker makes, but it’s less than the $15.53 that a median warehouse employee is paid, according to Labor Department data.

TLDW. But I have counter.dev running with redis as the primary database. It just works. Of course you need consider carefully. One of the advantages I saw is that every query on the database has a documented complexity. I don't need to hope for the database to run the query fast enough. It's more transparent.

I preordered one!

I've ben very excited about the Playdate since it was announced. The company behind it is one of my favorite software companies, Panic, which makes a bunch of well-known Mac apps that I use fairly often and generally find well designed; they recently got into game publishing too and published Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. The hardware was designed by one of my favorite small hardware companies, Teenage Engineering, which makes all kinds of weird and interesting audio stuff.

I have no idea how these two companies got together to make something like this, and it's definitely a bit of a departure for both of them, but I hope it works out well! I think modern tech could do with a bit more occasional weird totally-out-of-left-field small cool projects like this one.

Sometimes it is not avoidable
Didn't say I was offended, but let me elaborate on that part, because I think some guys get confused on what's offensive.

Look, I like guys. I like it when guys appreciate my appearance. They have to look at me to do so. I'm not even offended when they mutter an "mmm hmm" or whatever.

The offensive part comes when someone, no matter gender or sexuality, express their appreciation (or attempt to demonstrate power over me) in an manner that hijacks my attention or disrupts my activities.

They do this by:

1. stopping at the end of an aisle, looking you up and down, and staring at $BODY_PART for several seconds.

2. Initiating small-talk from a non-interpersonal distance and being persistent about it if you don't respond (there's a difference in expression and tone vs. being neighborly or whatever). There's a difference between "hi!" or "excuse me" as you move past and "dang girl, how you doing?"

3. Making comments and then following you around (sometimes continuing to comment unless you stop and say _something_ to sooth their ego).

re: How many gay: I have yet to have a gay guy hit on me, or check me out. Some do judge my outfits. I have a reply elsewhere on the difference between normal perception, judging clothing, and "male gaze" (which TBH should be called "aggressive sexualized gaze" for precision and to avoid discussions like this, even though the shorter form is precise enough.

re: How many male: I dunno, the masc-presenting trans people I know are too self-conscious about appearing creepy to engage in these behaviors. So are most of the techies I run into :)
The straight trans-masc guys I know are also tend to fit in the "def dudes that appreciate but aren't creepy about it" category.

NYT: 'Those Virus Sequences That Were Suddenly Deleted? They’re Back'
City lights are something of an unavoidable problem, but the truly unforgivable scourge is all the "security" lights that electric companies promote in order to burn useless capacity in rural areas. First, the idea that anyone's security is improved by helpfully illuminating unfamiliar surroundings for intruders is risible. I can walk from one end of my farm to the other in pitch-black starless night without stumbling, because I am familiar with my own property. Someone who hasn't been there before will have to bring a light, which will betray their intrusion. (Which, whatever. If they want to take a walk at night and don't damage anything I don't really care.)

Even worse is how these "security" lights destroy one's night sight from long distance. If I'm in sight of one of my dumbass neighbors' houses, I have to be careful not to look anywhere near them, because these devices shine their awful-colored rays in all directions. I'm sure this is even more of a burden for nocturnal animals. I know it is for my livestock.

These lights operate all night long, every night. Those who consent to their installation are typically inside their houses, watching TV or sleeping. These lights' only function is to illuminate the front lawn for a couple of seconds a few times each evening when someone wonders "is the security light still on?" Anyone who needs actual illumination outside uses flashlights, headlights, etc. when they actually need the illumination.
It is a difficult problem. There is a saying: ease is the disease. Seeking the easy path (which most of us do) generally leads to supporting institutions not for their moral worth, but for their ability to make our lives easier. And so companies focus on exactly that: making our lives easier.

Taxes might help. If you tax a company for their immoral behavior, the cost of their goods go up and consumers might make different decisions. But in a democratic society the people who create taxes are elected by voters who want their lives to be easy.

Maybe the best thing would be to throw out democracy and be ruled by philosopher kings who can make these decisions for us. I only say that half-jokingly.

I could get behind some of this but we have to keep some things separate.

Specialization is great. Economies of scale make certain things possible. Awesome. That doesn't mean you have to consolidate power for each of these things with just one big overlord.

I don't agree with the house maintenance for example. Many many renters have a really hard time to get their landlords big and small to fix things. Or make them nice. And you can't do stuff on your own. Want a mini split AC/heat exchanger? Gotta ask the landlord. A large corporation that doesn't want to do this or even listen to you. They'd have to install this for the entire apartment block if they do. A large expense. Now you gotta get all the 50 neighbors to petition as well to get anything moving. And the corp knows they gotta increase the rent if they do this for you but then you will complain about the rent increase later. The same can apply to individual petty landlords abviously.

As a homeowner I already can make use of the benefits of specialization by calling on someone that specializes in HVAC to help me choose whether a mini split makes sense, which models are out there, install it properly etc. Or I can do parts of this, like the research myself or even the installation if I have the expertise.
With this comment we realize that the American experiment has essentially failed - and that in fact, left to their own devices, with only 'freedom' to guide them, people will inevitably devolve into mindless cretins.

It was, and there are even some significant differences. On she's leaving home, the mono mix was speed up with the mono version's length coming in at 3:26 and the stereo at 3:35 [0].

On the one hand I understand that conveying this as an average temperature difference makes the value more understandable, but it also makes some people miss the point that this is mostly about heat capture. And that this energy increase in will be noticed in many different ways.
Moreover the process amplifies itself (eg. when some part of glacier melts, this area no longer reflects sunlight back into atmosphere, but the dark water absorbs most of this, which leads to even faster heat absorption).
The o often has too much space around it in the middle of words. In "stave" the v cleaves too close to the e. (IMO).
Range requests are the star, so I would vote keep them? I mean, technically, the CDN could represent each 4kb block of the file as an individual URL, so that you do range requests by filename instead of by .. range request .. but at some point I definitely think RRs are more sane.

Worse, if the Constitution protects our politicians’ lies and Fox News’ amplification of them, then we may lack the legal tools necessary to systemically stop the lies. If so, then we need to rethink our policy approaches to the entire information ecosystem.

Indeed, this is a good example of how Section 230 might be the solution, not the problem. If the government can’t ban disinformation, but Internet services can–and do–undertake the socially valuable work of curbing disinformation with the protection of Section 230, we get better results than if Internet services are inhibited from doing this work without any protection from Section 230.

That’s one of many reasons why the various “must-carry” laws, like Florida’s social media censorship law, are so pernicious. They would sideline Internet services in the fight against disinformation, when Internet services may be our most crucial line of defense today.
Ask HN: How to Transition from Software Engineering to Application Security?
I'm a mid-level software engineer with mostly back-end and some full-stack experience. I have experience with using static code analysis tools to identify and fix vulnerabilities found in the OWASP Top 10, and I'd like to make a transition into Application Security full-time because I'm really interested in this field.

I've had a few AppSec interviews but most of the time my job applications are ignored. At my current job I don't have the opportunity to work on anything security related and I'm not sure what I can do to gain more security skills and make my resume marketable for AppSec roles, not just SWE. Of course I've been taking Udemy classes and watching YouTube videos on OWASP vulnerabilities but it seems silly to put on my resume that I merely took some classes.

I'm located in the Bay Area but have also been applying to remote roles.
Wait, so they're taking a part time pay for a year in which someone didn't work full time and dividing it by full time hours, even though those aren't worked to calculate an hourly salary below the minimum hourly salary that's actually paid?
My understanding is that Redis is fast because it writes and reads from memory. Postgres is slower because it ensures writes are persisted to disk before responding (among other reasons). So even if you use RDB and AOF with Redis, you can still readily lose data even after the database has confirmed it's been written. The database can confirm a write and then crash before that write has been persisted to the AOF and RDB.

This is why I thought you wouldn't want to run Redis as a primary database.

> what's the point, if natural infections are the only way to get protective immunity?

Natural infection from back with the original virus? I've not seen any evidence and can't think of a logical reason why it would be more effective than a vaccine based on the original virus.

I think the real problem is going to be people who were never exposed to the virus getting a variant that is transmitting effectively through people with immunity to the original virus from any source. A way for a variant to get to that is to reach levels that kill anyone not previously exposed. Fear for people who have an immunity I find misplaced, for those who are immunized or survive an ever more dangerous first infection this is going to be our new flu, and it will send people to hospital and very rarely kill.

> But western countries emissions have been gradually declining while China's has been increasing rapidly.

This is a half-truth. Production based emissions have gone down in western countries and up in China. However, this doesn't take into account consumption based emissions, i.e. imported products, which are extremely high in western countries, and only going up. Western countries exporting production to developing countries does not absolve them of responsibility just because it looks nice on graphs. Unfortunately, the whole global emissions story only takes into account production based emissions, except for oil production, which AFAIK is measured as consumption based emissions (very convenient for some western countries, like the US).

> And China is just as aggressive, did you forget about the recent Microsoft hacking scandal?

The scope of US intelligence clandestine operations, including hacking, vastly exceed the entire worlds clandestine operations combined. Just as their military budget and activity does. We know this by Snowden's leaks. By Wikileaks. The US even regularly hacks western companies and governments (not to speak of non-western companies and governments), as well as forcing all US companies (by law) of handing them whatever information they demand. The entire US tech sector (including Google and Microsoft) is an enormous sink of information directly accessible to the US intelligence community. The scope of the crime of US intelligence is so enormous it can't even be compared to other nations.

> Versus China who supports autocratic regimes such as North Korea and Syria who repress their populations with death and suffering?

It's the US that keeps Syria in perpetual war. Whatever you think about the Syrian government, a country in war is way worse. It simply can't be compared in terms of human suffering.

> was mainly Arab nation's citizens to topple their regimes

NATO literally bombed Libya to dust, which resulted in creating the largest slave market in the world, and enormous human suffering. It's a terrible, awful situation for millions of people, who actually enjoyed peace and European-like material living conditions under Gaddafi. If we put this on a scale and compare, you'd have to be a pentagon war hawk or a totally ignorant person to prefer the former.

> And at the end of the day, it was the Chinese government trying to cover up the disease from WHO

Absolutely not, western corporate media certainly fronted that narrative, which actually triggered WHO researchers themselves to come out publicly and deny it, because it's simply a false narrative. The WHO leadership has literally praised China all along for their transparency and openness. As have the teams of WHO researchers who have visited China for investigations. The media narrative (as well as White House announcements) is the opposite, in direct conflict with the facts on the ground.
How fast does it need to be? The cheapest option I can think of offhand is doing Internet via a HAM radio [1]. It's not fast, at all (I think I saw 500 kb/s in the article), but they say it's only $80 USD for the hardware, with a 300km range. You just need someone friendly, outside Turkey, within 300km who will let you borrow a bit of their WAN link, or who will let you pay them.

It may be clear, but it’s still in violation of the GDPR, which requires clear, unambiguous, non-coerced consent for each case where consent is required. Non-coerced means you have the option to decline and services can’t be withheld if you do.

Some physicists will get an idea for a new particle or decay mode. Then they will postulate various decay modes that could be captured by the detectors. The short-lived new particle arent directly detectable, but daughter particles may be. Particles leave characteristic signatures on the two large CERN detectors, each which consists of an onion of thousands of directional and intensity sensors. Then they computer search quadrillions of already recorded events at the detectors for a significant number of candidate events. This may take months for a postdoc or grad student to do.

I recall the Higgs had about 80-some possible decay modes. Only a handful of them could be measured above background noise. A couple of teams pursued two classes of them and found results.
