It's usually not a good idea to tune a guitar as you described. Basically a guitar has to use "temperate tuning" because it has frets, so you can't be absolutely in tune everywhere, but you can minimize the error on each position. So if you tune string by string relying on fretting the last string, you will "carry" the error, and the resulting tuning will be wrong. It is good for a first pass, but you then want to check that some specific positions do sound good. Depending on what you are playing (for example if you rely more on some open chord position), you might even want to tune the open string to make those position sound especially good (at the expense of some less common one). That is commonly referred to as "sweetened tuning".

EDIT: I might have confused things indeed. If you fret, you should not carry the error. Usually, an practical way to tune two string is to play harmonics and listen to the "beats" between them. That will carry the error. Fretting should work, but in practice does not really because that suppose that your intonation is perfect (ie the fret are perfectly placed), which they usually are not, especially on acoustics with no easy way to set it up.
Interesting that it only resolves on 'google tuner' rather than 'guitar tuner' searches.

I believe it would be better for an army to put its manuals on the internet publicly so its soldier could read them easely than to have them semi-secret. What good does reading a tank manual do the enemy?

"Oh, the armor is weak in the back?"

I have seen the same problem in companies, where manuals and reports are hardly accessible and thus effectively lost in the name of confidentiality ...
Do you have any specific examples? What do you mean by 'clean up' exactly?

My understanding of lightning is, that unless you run your own node (which requires a lot of funds and needs to be online 24/7), you are using a third-party node for these payments. The positive would be, that there are (I presume, don’t know) far more nodes/services available to choose from than there are credit-card firms.

This is just what I remember from reading into lightning a few months ago.

The Chicago Outfit figured this out after Capone's conviction. What you do is fill out a tax return and pay the tax owed, without a signature, without any form of identification. Failure to file when taxes are paid is a misdemeanor; the maximum penalty, 365 days in jail (minus 55 days for good time=310 days, minus 3 months halfway house). So it's not the end of the world. Failure to file when taxes are owed is a felony and a whole other matter entirely: five years (or is it 10? I don't remember and I'm too lazy to look it up)in federal prison.

You are dreaming if you think a tax return which shows both illegal income and personal identifying information won't be shared with other enforcement agencies. Even the Post Office reports suspicious mail. Ditto FedEx and the "American kilo" (two pounds instead of 2.2). Even Amtrak alerts the DEA of suitcases containing legally-purchased California weed when the train will leave the State.

Money can buy you financial freedom, more holidays than you'd know what to do with, good place to live almost anywhere in the world, trust fund for your heirs and all that other stuff you mention. Good money - the kind you can reasonably fast and predictably accumulate in California today, say ~decade at FAANG, but have near 0% shot at reaching in Europe. To me being able to retire in 30s and have a lifetime to yourself, own pursuits and family is much more enticing than a lifetime of neverending 9 to 5 grind no matter how chill it is and how much parental leave they give (it can't beat ∞). But indeed generally Europe is a better place for the less successful/lucky. Not everyone is ambitious and lucky enough to make it in the US, especially outside tech. Good thing capital is mobile, you/your kids don't have to stay in the US forever once you've reached your target.
Funny you mention it: she could make phalluses of all different members of the animal kingdom, and determine empirically which one is "best".

One group being wealthier than another group does not automatically make interactions between those two groups "exploitation" / if that is the definition of exploitation that you're using it is practically meaningless.
Setting aside political beliefs/leanings, it would be very difficult to argue that they don't get a lot of things right.

This type of rhetorical question or quip is a pretty good example of the mentality I was drawing attention to in my comment: it's entirely possible to think that something is generally bad (eg.: you might think the CCP is, on balance, not great or even terrible) while also recognizing that there are positive aspects to it.

Recognizing the pros of a thing doesn't mean you have to forget about the cons. Being able to hold both in one's head at the same time also helps formulate better criticism of the bad things, as such criticism often becomes more precise.

The heuristic of "CCP/China = bad" may very well be correct in a particular situation, but such heuristics are a very dangerous mode of thinking.
With New Flashy Tools, Pinterest Is All Set to Take over the E-Commerce Market
Ehhhh. I had a good reminder that s3 is only as good as its supporting interfaces a few years ago. I needed to create some test buckets with production data for dev work while I was getting a project of the ground. Sure, I could have made a new, separate read only username just for the task and all that— but it was a simple task and I was crunched for time, so I logged into the web GUI with the account admin login, made the copy, ran my tests, and deleted it. No problem. I thought. I got a VM a couple of days later from their support team saying they had reason to believe they’d lost some of my data — apparently the GUI delete had a (quickly detected, fixed and proactively addressed) bug that was deleting entries with the same relative key in every vaguely similarly named bucket, including my production bucket. Luckily it was the beginning of the transition and I sill had local copies.

Anyone could validly make the argument that this us user error and sloppy ops work — but that’s almost always the case in data loss events… be it unverified backups, abusing root, etc.

I still think there’s value in diversifying both in vendor and physical location.

I enjoyed it but that enjoyment came with some discomfort. Parts of the film are pretty tense and not in a "James Bond flick"/building excitement kind of way.
It would make some sense ( from his point of view). India have nuclear powered ballistic missile subs, but no attack ones, and if i recall correctly they're working with Naval Group on an indigenous nuclear attack sub design.
Shipping is also not the issue.

>The busiest US container ports are moving up the global rankings amid record import volumes, but the deluge of cargoes continues to exceed capacity with growing ship queues on both the East and West Coasts.
To get around this restriction, IRS special agents work on task forces w/DEA, FBI or Homeland Security (aka Customs) so they can request the records directly.

See my comment about the Chicago Outfit in this thread. They figured out the best way if you have a lot of illegal income.
Are you suggesting that old people uncomfortable with math and tech are the best people to be leading major corporations? Even Herb Kelleher was only 40 when he started Southwest.

Okay, positive attitude: We congeal the oil in situ in the tanks into plastic-blocks. It renders the ship unuseable but the ship is already unusable, but it at least reduces the hazard on final breaking apart.

With guitar you are much more likely to have to re-tune during a performance. I can think of a couple of reasons.

Steel core strings (on guitar) have a much higher coefficient of thermal expansion than gut-core strings (on orchestra instruments). If you start a concert at dusk your guitar will go quite a bit sharp if you have a cool breeze blowing across the stage after the sun sets.

Some of the playing styles require large bends or use of a tremelo which is much more likely to throw some of your strings out during a performance. Having a pedal means you can quickly re-tune between songs without having to blast it over the PA.

Also at an orchestra it is expected that the crowd will be relatively quiet so that the musicians can hear their instruments while they are tuning. At a rock concert you will have a tough time hearing your instrument while tuning, and you don't necessarily want to subject the crowd to your tuning noise over the PA.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I should add - most other string instruments aren't fretted so the musician has the opportunity to correctly intonate a slightly off-pitch string. The frets on guitar means the strings have to be perfectly tuned unless you can bend them in (which isn't really a standard skill)
> Bear in mind that Republicans hate Amazon because of Bezos’s Washington Post and because the whole tech industry is (somewhat correctly) perceived as progressive

Do Republicans actually hate Amazon all that much or do they just go on Fox News or Twitter and proclaim that they do? As much as they might complain about certain corporations, they don't seem to be at the top of the hit list.
Well, there's another option - they are allowed to arbiter, but aren't allowed to control the rules on the arbitration, at least not directly - instead, an overriding entity would do that. The entity would be, most likely, the government, but as a window dressing, an "independent body" whose members are selected by the politicians can be established to give it a veneer of being removed from everyday politics (protip: it never is). While not a lot of people would admit to preferring this model now, I suspect, a lot of them are pushing in the direction that can't lead anywhere but there. Of course, once such body is established, its natural evolution would be first to control all large public speech platforms, and then to attempt to control all speech in general.
Decades old might definitely mean duct taped and unstable. In about 1995 I witnessed the beginning of the end of at the time very successful company that just had tripled their whole organisation. But the code base was 5 million lines of a lot of copy pasted literal spaghetti code. And only a handful of ageing coders that had been with the company almost from the start could get anything done. And then, one day, those damn customers demanded a Windows application, instead of the classy DOS application.
After Redford's A River Runs Through It, it seemed like every wealthy guy went out and dropped a few grand of fly fishing gear.

I still remember this guy in the biggest pair of waders I have ever seen, catch a trout. He threw it on the beach. He had every gadget, including a vintage creel.

I didn't say anything. I just wasen't in the mood for a confrontation.

His wife beeped from the car, and said she bought lunch. They ate their McDonalds lunch, and the left the fish.

I picked it up when they left, and ate it, but always remembered that guy.

I'm glad the wealthy moved on to different hobbies.

I aim for succinctness where I can.
If that replaces your staple crop, that is indeed dangerous to eat though, or at least leaves folks with dangerous nutrient deficiencies.
I’m gonna get heavily downvoted. But one cause of this is the expansionary monetary policy of the US. Money printing has gone wild. And it’s not a coincidence that the last peak was in 2011, after the same phenomenon of money printing and low interest rates put in place after the 2008 crisis.
Benchmarking the oksh shell, or, let's look at a lot of C compilers
I'm the last person to claim any knowledge in this area but isn't this analysis completely missing the possibility of a more accidental fundamental lower-level OS or networking bug that cascades. The whole stack presumably is built on the same underlying frameworks and TCP/UDP/IP protocols so if there's a precarious update or unexposed time or memory contingent bug, that'd surely be quite damaging? I know he speaks of resilience and says that "they’ve seen everything imaginable that could go wrong" but that just seems like hubris, no?

Also with the FB BGP disaster we saw an example of how their resilience/RED-team/etc. learnings failed to highlight how hard recovery from a real-world outage would be irt to something as basic as building access. Plus the hilarious fact that widespread network outages make difficult the kinds of cross-location/timezone communication that would be needed in order to collaborate and apply fixes. FB teams experienced this apparently. The tools they rely on to communicate obviously relied on the assumption that such a network failure could never occur. They were left relying on non-internet comms and non-FB platforms.

To claim that Amazon is simply too experienced to let such things occur seems quite arrogant and naive.
In Finnish army this was in the tasteless dessert pudding they served at every meal. The theory was frequently tested and proven to be true. You would get annoying and embarrassing morning wood if you skipped the dessert.
I wonder whether warming the mold up, e.g. immersed in hot water, would make it easier to get apart.
> the name matches so that's nice?

To me it sounds reasonable that Microsoft tests/optimizes their JDK better for Azure, and Amazon -- for AWS.
That's not a ponzi. The key element of a ponzi is that new investors' money is used to pay off old investors because there is no real business. The airlines do not promise you anything other than a seat on an airplane. There is no investment.
Xi wants Taiwan, he knows Biden is soft and alienated our EU allies, and there's an arms race in the region.

The best time is while Biden is in office. Xi does not want to risk dealing with Trump again.
My thoughts exactly. They might be reluctant to show they have so much power, but they're definitely not reluctant to wield it.
What excites me at the moment is space - and specifically the advent of space as an accessible, valuable, but dangerous place to be - a perfect place for robots.

I think there is a massively exciting amount of development to be done in space robotics, planning, simulation, hardware, etc.

The other exciting venue I see is bioinformatics. The advent of mRNA as a usable technology combined with AlphaFold is a new development that I see unlocking a lot of possibilities.
That's very interesting. The tuning for a violin is always (afaik) to make the open strings a perfect 3/2 fifth apart, but then of course you can play to whatever tuning you want. (If you have the skill to do that - I certainly don't!)

That makes tuning a guitar a much more complex thing in principle, with choices and trade-offs to be made, so maybe that's a better explanation for the prevalence of tuners.
You are dissing a product that you didn't pay money for, and comparing it unfavorably to one that you did. How is that fair.

There are metronome and tuner apps that are way more pleasant and functional than any hardware product, if you could shell out just a few bucks (< $10). You also have fewer batteries to manage.
I don't understand. People would rather spend a day per week working on google's stuff than their own project?
> Don't forget all of the future losses by losing the trust of both the customers and the employees.

Who's going to remember this? Even a large percentage of the stranded passengers are likely to fly Southwest again to save $36 on a flight.

> This assumes that they can absorb these losses.

If they couldn't, then they could very very likely receive a bailout or other assistance. It is the existence of these safetynets that allows these businesses to operate so lean. The cynical might say that bailouts encourage the practice.
I'm in a similar, semi educated situation as you are. But my interpretation of what I have read so far is different:

As far as I understand it: When a channel you have open is closed by the other side of the channel your wallet needs to know this within a certain time (24 hours? Can't remember).

So to avoid having to read the blockchain updates once a day, you would subscribe to some service that tells you when one of your channels is closed.

I also think you only have to do that if you distrust the other side of the channel. If you select a channel partner (a friend, a well known institution, a bank?) and only keep a small amount in that channel, I think you can just trust them and not sign up for any "watchtower" to watch if they try to cheat on you.

PS: Looking up the growth of the Bitcoin blockhain it seems that even if you do the watching yourself, that would only mean to read less than 1MB per day? Here is the data:

Common usage of leak includes deliberate action by the owner of the information, not just misappropriation.
You don't need a lot of funds, or to always be online. You can run the software quite happily on a cellphone (I have previously), the requirement to be "online" is only in the scale of occasionally (once a day would be more than sufficient), and even that can be delegated (dork "watchtowers") with little to no risk.
Payments should be treated like a public utility services, so that they cannot deny customers or uses that are legal. It is a bad idea to let any private service that is so widespread and fundamental to function as a proxy regulator of speech.

This problem was very apparent when Wikileaks faced a payment blockade a decade back (https://www.commondreams.org/news/2012/07/18/wikileaks-break...). We are overdue to reign in Visa and MasterCard, just as we are with giant social media common carriers.
Yeah, the relative probability of scenarios may be wrong. Maybe even some of them are totally bogus. This doesn't undermine the main point of the article though.

I think the main point is that there's quite a lot of eggs in that basket and we should see this as a problem. Any single organization can think they have contingency plans for a big cloud region going permanently down. The problem is that when all of them try to execute their plans at once it won't work.
Thank you for writing the post. Newbie question about “nonlocal” from your example:

def outer_function():
x = 11

def inner_function():
nonlocal x
x = 22
print('Inner x:', x)

inner_funcion()
print('Outer x:', x)

I get how the example works, but don’t see the point of the declaration? If I just left out the “nonlocal x” line, wouldn’t the example still work the same?
> If I donate food after I have eaten my fill, am I being noble or selfish?

If you could have sold it instead?

Maybe not noble but also probably kind to some degree whatever your motivations are for being kind.
Feeling compelled to comply with a court order and voluntarily relinquish your property is still very different from being seizable without your consent.

Especially with the nature of civil asset forfeiture, in which many people never recover their money or property even after proving their innocence, unseizable property has it's appeal.
