> Sound perception is extremely parallel at the physical level, each and every one of the hairs in the cochlear duct (a fluid filled chamber that acts as a biological spectrum analyzer).

But isn't the result a curve that can be expressed as the simple superposition of waves? That simply can't be done for vision. (edit: without breaking time by encoding scanlines - which is just serializing it.)

> I'd bet against you. In fact that is a lot harder than identifying the 12 base pitches on for instance a piano.

I'd take it. I'd imagine it'd be as easy to train somebody to recognize 12 pitches from a particular piano in a particular room as it would to train someone on sine waves. But my point was it'd be easier to train them on either than on pitch in general, from many different instruments with different timbres.
I have a feeling that being in-office is a competitive advantage for the product and being remote is a competitive advantage for hiring. And also that being in-person amplifies the benefit of being in a good company where being remote lessens the blow of being in a bad company.

I still haven’t decided where I want to fall on those trade-offs but I think being somewhere that embraces remote but tries its best to get everyone together as often as possible might be the best trade-off.
Docker for Windows isn't particularly stellar either. For instance, you have to actually log in to a machine to have a docker image running. Additionally only one user on a machine can run the host application at any given time.

I have no idea how this is popular.
Agreed. I should have made my post clearer. OpenWrt does not suppport SHA-2 signature hashing or any of the newer key algorithms I mentioned, so you are stuck with RSA+SHA1.
I use Mailbox.org. My only regret is not buying my own domain name for it ahead of time in case Germany started doing things I wasn’t cool with.

I have a few thoughts about this-
1) I dont think it is 'professional' behavior to discuss everyones business on a slack channel

2) I dont necessarily agree with equal pay for each job title. I think it should definitely be in a ballpark based on job function. I've worked long enough that I've seen equally titled employees with VASTLY different work outputs. That isnt to say that the less productive employee was even a bad employee, they just werent the 10x employee the other one was. I dont see a problem with the 10x employee making more money.

3) Is complaining on Slack or posting your salary the best way to accomplish the goal of equal pay? I don't personally think it is, but I am willing to hear counter arguments.

4) If I were unhappy about my current pay, I would approach it much differently. I would first go to my direct manager and tell that person I felt I deserved more comp. I would put together a list of reasons/accomplishments/justifications for this reason. I always keep a journal of what Im working on and try to send a list of "working on, completed, to do" so that I have my goals set properly. I send that on a regular basis to my manager(But I contract so its a bit different than an employee in this regard).

5) If you still feel like you are under compensated or underappreciated, go look for a job. Get an offer. Have leverage. You will either get a raise or a new job. Win Win Its frowned upon to do this often but I think its better behavior than starting a slack channel and asking people to post their salary.
> Then, people just sort of adopted EBITDA as shorthand for “FCF from operations”

Very true.

> then companies like Allbirds took advantage of that to do whatever they want with it.

Here's an insider secret - everyone manipulates Adj. EBITDA (not just "Allbirds like companies"). It's part of the game of business sellers, which is why buy-side auditing is so important to get right. This is more or less why public security analysts exist - to keep pressure on proper reporting from the company. If WeWork actually went public every analyst worth a salt would basically throw out their "Community Adjusted EBITDA" and the term would be rendered meaningless.

> it was my first ever interview in the industry, I vomited before I got there so it was a pretty crazy day

I'm really sorry to hear this, that sounds incredibly stressful. The worst part about stress in technical interviews is that even under good interviewing conditions (which you clearly didn't have) it can really hobble a candidate to be stressed.

I hope this experience (or this HN post) doesn't scare you away from programming or interviewing at software companies in general. Those guys sound like jerks. There are good companies and decent coding interview routines out there.

> Without understanding, we can’t take productive action.

That is not true. You can protect against abusers without understanding them. Whether making sure you respond (so that you are not attractive target) or leaving or going public or retaliating.

But, victims who believe they need to understand and emphasize with them end up excusing abusers, blaming themselves and end up perpetual victims.
Nah, they should just build a vscode plugin that makes it easy to manage docker running inside WSL2. Bam, Docker Desktop is a beached whale.
Originally I read that the inverter is part of the truck and would not be included in the lowest "pro" trim model. After further research, it sounds like the bidirectional charging comes as part of the extended range battery upgrade, which you can apply to any trim model (starts at $10,000 and goes down in price at higher trim levels).

even among people who say what you're saying - there's just so many things that raise insulin levels or contribute to insulin-resistance.

people assume it's sugar. and a lot of it is and it's the first thing people should cut back on.

but people are surprised zero-calorie artificial sweeteners and crystalized versions of stevia and monk fruit do.

people aren't even aware that omega6s PUFAs (which we're supposed to have a 1:1 ratio with omega3s, and are supposed to have both in fairly low levels) also impact insulin resistance

activity does, sleep does, things impact it positively like a wide range of plant foods or teas.

but more simply - without going into the whys or the science, if generally speaking people cut out A. Sugar and B. processed foods (thus removing a ton of salt and omega6s) people would be a million times better off.

> As some of the work force transitions from physical, in-person employment (trading labor for pay) to increasingly virtual employment, some things are de-coupled, like high "cost of living" areas being less strongly related to "high paying employment centers."

First of all, there's no transition from trading labor for pay. That remains in place ... because capital.

Secondly, the coupling or decoupling is mostly a short-term choice made mostly by capital. We've already seen some companies signalling their intention to pay people less if they live outside the local area and work remote. I see no reason to expect that the state of this coupling will change to anything other than what-works-best-for-capital.
That's true and a relief, but they're also bred to be resistant to certain insecticides and to be robust.

I guess my point is that we don't always get what we think we're getting when it comes to GMOs/selection: when farmers selected for Red Delicious apples that were entirely red, they also selected out the gene that made them palatable. Surely they wouldn't have done what they had if they knew we'd be left with the mealy mess Red Delicious apples are today.

We hope we'll get edible plants that also don't do well in the wild, but there's a lot of room for error and testing is warranted in my not-an-expert opinion (I've a degree in Biochemistry, not Ecology or Agriculture).

Southpaw here! I'd never buy a laptop without a number pad. The track pad being off-center is also good.

Gaming? 78462 make for the best movement, and the number pad also has seven non-numerical buttons to bind things to. It also puts your index finger right next to lENTER, which is so useful for games that make use of it.

Programming? Bind the buttons to commonly-used UNIX programs to make for a better IDE than an IDE.

Calculating? So nice to have an ergonomic numerical input.
> they live without the fear of death in a mass shooting

I live in the US without the fear of death in a mass shooting because I understand statistics.

There was a school shooting in my area a while back. There was a huge hue and cry to put uniformed police in all the schools. I (annoying person that I am) pointed out that statistically the children were much more likely to die in a traffic accident on the way to school. This did not go over well.

People regularly drown in Lake Washington, too. It doesn't even make the news. Nobody cares.
Because going into a negotiation with a belief that both parties are expected to be reasonable and negotiate in good faith tends to give you better outcomes.
Apple actually already nixed an employee run pay survey because it collected diversity data.
Their argument was that while collection and discussion of pay is protected, collection of (opt in) gender and race etc. Data is not.
Wait till you're in line for the order.

Then you get an email from a domain that has "apollo" in it but is not mentioned or linked to anywhere on the main site. The person sending the email says your order is ready and asks you to send ~500 EUR to some personal bank account in Ireland.

Uhh... no? I've said thanks, but let's use paypal and I'll cover the extra fees. The idea was that if it turns out to be a scam I can get the money back.

In the end everything was fine. Got the V1200, it worked. Also I got some candy, yay! But yeah, the whole process seemed a bit sketchy.
> 3) Is complaining on Slack or posting your salary the best way to accomplish the goal of equal pay? I don't personally think it is, but I am willing to hear counter arguments.

A slack channel is probably an efficient way to organize other employees for collective bargaining. There are already salary sharing sites like team blind and levels.fyi
The Fed is still reporting M3: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MABMM301USM189S

It's "only" up 31.76% since Fed 2020 / before they started messing around.

It was already regularly increasing by ~7% per year - so you'd expect close to a ~10% difference. So we've got about ~20% more M3 than you would otherwise expect.

If they're trying to cover up data, they're doing a bad job.
Curious how bound I'd be to these terms if I just don't upgrade Docker Desktop. I'm not even signed in to dockerhub and most of our containers are on an Azure private registry.

If you're a worker sympathetic to the organizing effort, it's probably not. Depends on your presumed union leaders.

If you're in management, being 'the adversary' probably means being on the back foot in terms of negotiating and probably compliance with local labor laws.

An unenviable place to be (said with a wee bit of sarcasm).
That's not how virtual machines work on Windows. Even Linux virtual machines use dynamic memory. You assign a minimum, maximum, and a startup value. When the machine needs more RAM, Windows give it to it. When it releases it, it's available for other purposes.
Presumably Apple would remove the pin for the same reasons.
The biggest reason is that in Germany, unions actually take part in decisions. It means that in addition to representing workers they take the company interests into account, after all, employees can't be paid if the company doesn't make money. In other countries they can only protest and so, they work by opposing management instead of trying to find a solution that suits everyone.

Anarchy just implies no ruling authority. It may lead to chaos and disorder, but that only follows if you prove (or believe) that ruling authority is necessary to prevent chaos and disorder.
The way to address it is to treat public health as a national security issue. This is actually what happened here in the UK after WW1 and pushed forward hard after WW2 with the establishment of the NHS.

In WW1 the UK armed forces were shocked at the low levels of health and nutrition in recruits, such that large numbers were unfit to serve. This also affected labour available for strategic industries like arms and munitions. This is why the establishment of robust public health systems and a public primary care system were not controversial here and mostly still aren't. I say this as a lifelong conservative voter. This isn't about socialism. We're not a huge nation and we needed a healthy capable population.

We're waging a global war on this virus, whether we like it or not. What we need is co-ordinated and effective action on a global scale to combat it. The virus itself, and the delta variant has showed that what happens in one country is of vital interest to the rest of the world, we're all in this together. However the first step to effective international action is for the nations with the resources to act globally to put their own houses in order first. Here in Britain this is what we've done, with a few missteps and misjudgements along the way, but we're finally on top of this thing.

Vaccination, vaccination, vaccination. All the other tools we have - lockdowns, mitigating treatments, masks, they're all useful tools in their place, but the Vaccine research efforts were our Manhattan project. The vaccines are the wonder weapons. They're the path to getting on top of this thing.

We're in this for the long haul. New variants will arise that are more infection, more deadly, vaccine resistant, or all three. We need to be ready for them. This is the real deal, it's a proper global war with a massive global body count, and we need to stop bickering about it and get organised.
Practice transcribing music. There are also simple ear training applications you can get for your phone. Relative pitch is a fairly simple concept, so there's a proliferation of apps that teach it, at least to a basic level.

It's also common to have a library of songs in your head that start off with each interval. Everything from "Für Elise" for the minor second, to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for an octave.
The part about being "allowed to" go outside isn't true. Take it from me, I live here and am free to go wherever I please.
DevOps is inherently harder because it is broader. We have lots of show them around time, have them do maintenance or tech debt tasks at first, and save some smaller pointed enhancements so they can feel like they are making progress. Also have them own a major new enhancement relatively early. Take lots of time on PRs and generally be patient at first.

It doesn't matter. And you can see the judge simply had him correct the mistake and proceedings moved on. It has nothing to do with respect, judges do not need to rely on soft power like that. But might impact everyone in the process and lead to a negative outcome.

You can do all sorts of "monopolistic abuse" on your platform as long as it is small and inconsequential. No one cares, even if it was illegal, though it mostly is not.

But the rules and scrutiny changes once you become large enough to be "considered" a monopoly i.e. once your decisions and policies start affecting a significant portion of the market/ecosystem, then your policies are going to be subject to new regulation.

Google supporting side loading from the very beginning was a smart idea, even if its too complex and scary for the majority of Android users. They should have done the same for payments.

> I’ve always wondered how hard it would be to start your own country

Really really hard. You have only a few choices and they're all terrible. First one is revolution, see history for how that tends to go. Second is conquest and then colonization followed by eventual independence, again see history for how much this sucks for your stated aims. Seasteading might work but if you develop and build the stuff to make it work you're unlikely to get any acknowledgement of your statehood from any other nation but might get attacked by them [1]. The last option is outer space somewhere and self-sufficient space colonies are still science fiction and once they're not the early pioneers are going to die a lot and their living situation is going to be awful.

51% of a population having a say over their own lives is better than any other system I know of, because every other system I know of ends up with substantially less than 51% of the population having a say over their own lives. It's far from perfect, but I do think we should realize the comparison is to other forms of government, not some abstract ideal.

And I'm not suggesting that there's never a reason to act violently towards a government, I'm suggesting the people who talk about guns in response to legislation don't understand what it is they're saying.

To use firearms against your government means killing patriots, definitionally. People need to realize this, because they generally don't.
