Yeah, but nobody has fun hating on Mac any more right? Thanks for the context.
On the contrary, if I say "I remember it was 5:30pm when I saw X" you can immediately picture the setting. With a world time, you'll need to know where the location is, too.

Besides, as the parent said, we already have a world time. Use UTC.

You're right, the case as given in the essay is a pretty massive stretch from anything reasonable. What I was hoping to show was that even if you take it as straightforwardly as possible, it fails on its own terms. A universal time used by everyone would make it easier to communicate even in this case.
Perhaps they’re holding long put contracts on the Bitcoin ETF that just started trading. Their disclosure would still be true as they own contracts, not shares. An interesting coincidence with the timing.
Right sorry I just edited my comment (presumably just as you were making your reply).

EDIT: As an aside, I think most mathematicians at this point would be shaking their heads vigorously at calling "two" a property and would be counting that as a category error.
> An undisclosed conflict of interest is always a problem.

Can you help me understand why this is? If a known conflict of interest may or may not be a problem for the downside party why does that change if the conflict is unknown?

I can see how it can become a problem, and how the downside party is at a disadvantage but I’m not understanding why this is always a problem.
> I hope there's lots of fundamental things we don't understand well yet.

I suppose there are many ways one could define "fundamental," but if you define "fundamental things" to be roughly "answers to questions of the form 'How does X work?' or 'Why are things this way instead of some other way?'" it seems clear that there can never be an end to fundamental things we don't understand yet.

A CLA is a way for legal to minimize the risk of open-core development. However, at a high level, the company gets free use of the code and the right to commercialize the open source version, but doesn't want any responsibility for accepting the code. Even worse, the contributor way even be agreeing to be liable.

Those same companies will agree to taking on millions in indemnification, on behalf of their customers. They'll take on the risk to make a sale, but won't take on risk to get free work...ugh.
He isn't claiming the $1b tripled bitcoin's price, just that the price tripled while they were holding $1b in coins.

$1b could also triple bitcoins price without the liquidity problems you're talking about because the initial purchase, done intelligently, can increase the price enough to kick-start another buying cycle (bitcoin goes up 100%, ends up on MSM news channels, people download coinbase and buy bitcoin, loop continues).
That is the meaning of arbitrary. It doesn't have any relation to the way sound is perceived. So the power of two relation either doesn't matter or is a coincidence.

I'm also a fairly recent migrant from .NET to Java.

My sense is that the root cause of a lot of it is missing features in the Java language itself. There are a lot of cases where in C# I'd have used an extension method, or been able to lean more heavily on generic programming or Expression<T>, but, since Java has no good equivalents of these things, instead I have to break out a design pattern to accomplish the same task.

And, once you've cracked that seal, it's sort of an, "In for a penny, in for a pound," type situation. Next thing I know, I'm neck deep in it, and I don't even know how I got there.

Just as important as recycling these batteries is making it possible for older EVs to have their batteries replaced years down the road with 3rd party batteries.

In 2031, it should be possible to by a long-past-warranty 2021 EV, replace the battery pack (with one made from recycled EV batteries!), and have it just-work. Just like you can replace the engine of a classic car today if you are so inclined.

It should be possible because the electrical connection of the batteries to EV drivetrains are relatively simple - although I'm sure that will take a lawsuit (like was launched against Nespresso to allow 3rd party coffee pods) for EV manufacturers to release the specs required for this to happen.

It would be unfortunate if EV batteries were non-serviceable except by the manufacturer after they were out of warranty, like phones are today. Instead, battery replacement would potentially allow the tertiary used EV market to flourish, and make them more accessible to people of modest means.

> "First with our contour design that delivers sound directly to your ears"

Google shows this thread as the only place this quote exists. What Apple does say is, "Apple today announced the third generation of AirPods [marketing speak deleted] in a new contoured design", the benefit being that it "[sits] at just the right angle for comfort and to direct audio into the ear".

This is a reference to the previous design of AirPods, which worked great for some people and not well for others (I was in the latter group). The implication is that the new design will be more comfortable for more people.

I don't have a problem with the idea of a formatter (gofmt is freaking amazing), but Prettier itself makes extremely asinine and frustrating formatting decisions.

> It may not always be beautiful, but at least it's consistent and readable.

"Consistent" as in a consistent set of rules applied across the team, sure. But Prettier-formatted code ends up being extremely internally inconsistent. The best example (and the one that drives me bonkers the most) is function parameters (both traditional params and destructured-object params). Prettier forces you to go with whatever decision IT thinks is best about lining stuff up, meaning it'll force you to change:

const myFunction = ({
xAttr,
yAttr,
}) => {
// ...
};

into

const myFunction = ({ xAttr, yAttr }) => {
// ...
};

That is, until you add another param:

const myFunction = ({ xAttr, yAttr, anotherPropIAddedLater }) => {
// ...
};

And THEN it'll reformat it to a vertical list. Which is what I wanted all along! I could go on about other formatting BS it does (hooks in React are another good example) but I think I got my point across.

Again, like- I don't necessarily think formatters are a bad thing in principle. What I hate is the fact that the most commonly used formatter in JS-land is so mediocre in its output.

Ask HN: Where is Aaron Swartz's federal court record dump?
In the USA, public access to federal court records is largely behind a paywall known as PACER. In 2009, Aaron Swartz downloaded somewhere between 1% and 25% of those records (~750GB) [1][2].

Anyone can issue a "cryptocurrency", yeah, but why would anyone accept that crap? Why would exchanges start trading it if it would take them 10 minutes to launch a "stablecoin" of their own? Was they way in financed by millions and millions of dollars in listing/marketing fees? I think that's the only reason tether even exists.
It's a big assumption though, yes? Namely, that the accuracy of information, or lack thereof, will somehow be consistent across topic areas?

It seems reasonable to me to expect journalists to have a better grasp of certain things than others (say politics or law instead of physics), and for this to vary across writers (one writer might have a background in chemistry; another in population biology).

I also think there's a certain variability of opinion on certain topics when you get to a certain level, and experts aren't always aware of this. That is, some (not all) tend to believe they are infallible and everyone else who disagrees is incorrect, or sometimes, "unscientific." There's probably several ways this could play a role, but I do think it plays some role in this.

I think this Gell-Mann amnesia is sort of a real bias that's interesting to think about, but I also think in reality it might not be quite what's being assumed in this essay.
> Why, for goodness’ sake?

It's offset to the left on the chassis so that it will be centered between your hands while typing. If the trackpad was centered on the chassis, your right palm would be constantly in contact with about a third of the trackpad, which could result in accidentally moving the cursor. The asymmetry may look ugly to some, but the upside is optimal usability.

If the numpad was removed from the design, then we could have the best of both worlds... but then numpad users would be turned off.
Context is everything.

Writing an app that going to do like 3 things? Keep it barebones.

Writing an app that will eventually be 100k lines of code that runs a business. Spend a lot of time organizing and abstracting! Mistakes in your architecture will be expensive to correct but balance avoiding those with premature optimization.

And beyond just the purpose of the app, remember who is going to build and maintain it. A project with 100 engineers and a project with 1 engineer should use very different architectures and project management regardless of the problem they are solving.

And yet you arbitrarily choose to base your system on C. With A, I can say A1=55, A2=110, A3=220, A4=440. C isn’t any more special than A except maybe scientific notation being based on C.

Your argument seems to hinge on being able to know the frequency of a specific “C”, but how often is that necessary?
> If the earbuds you use to perform the hearing test are the same ones you use with the resulting EQ profile

You also have to account for the microphone, which can (and will) have its own bias. Measuring from a flat response source, and producing for a flat response mic/speaker combination will produce the most accurate results.

> active noise cancellation

ANC creates sound artifacts at low volumes. It also provides, in ideal circumstances, around 25Db of noise reduction. You probably want between 40 and 80Db (or more) of noise reduction, depending on the ambient noise level around you. The threshold of hearing hovers around 10Db for healthy ears. Healthy ears can hearing your own heartbeat in an anechoic chamber (as close to 0Db as we can get).

> wouldn't the same thing apply to EQ profiles that aren't intended to correct hearing

If you're correcting for a 40Db loss at one frequency (taken randomly from the surrounding threads), applying it to a frequency where you have only 20Db loss can result in an extra 20Db of sound at that frequency. 20Db is 4x louder by perception, and over 6x higher pressure.

For a point of reference, Apple music's EQ curves are 12Db, 24Db if you set the extremes. So yes, they could damage your hearing, but that will depend more on the volume than the EQ.

This assumes that USDT/USD somehow holds at the same time USDT collapses? What will actually happen is that USDT will flood into BTC, driving BTC up in terms of USDT and down in terms of USD.

It’s because they know Linus doesn’t care about software freedom[1] and it’s difficult to find kernel devs willing to sue when they know the boss doesn’t want them to.

[1] e.g. when TiVo violated the GPL he let them, because apparently they found a loophole. When FSF closed the loophole definitively in GPLv3 he refused to adopt it. Also he grumbles about Nvidia but he was the one who created the weird loophole that “some parts of the kernel aren’t gpl” specifically to allow them to violate GPL so Linux could have their drivers.
Angular is the Spring or ASP.NET of JavaScript while React is the Rails or Laravel of JavaScript?
I think the response of advocates would be that the solution is for more people to use AGPL, which would fix that "loophole".

Now, I don't see AGPL becoming widespread personally, but this is essentially its reason for existing.

Same here. For me the best flow comes from a simple information dense book, like any famous tome from Springer Graduate Texts in Mathematics.

In relation to this, IMHO the best way to learn the foundations of mathematics is to teach yourself either:

* Linear algebra and real analysis (if your end goal is ML or statistics)

* Logic and type theory (if your end goal is formal methods or PLT)

For the first option, a typical sequence (like the one taught at Harvard Math 55) is Halmos (or Axler) plus Rudin (and a good companion like Gelbaum & Olmsted). A more practical bottom-up approach is to use a good matrix analysis book such as Meyer, plus a more practical calculus (vs analysis) textbook like Hubbard & Hubbard.

For the second option, a good theoretical logic book (Ben Ari and Schoening are my favorites) paired along with Girard. A more practical option would use Huth & Ryan as a logic volume along with Pierce's TAPL.

An argument isn't weak because it relies on specific language, it's specific. If we can't agree on what the word "merit" means (or indeed "weakness"), it's useless to continue to discuss what is and isn't meritorious (or weak).

> changing Safari tabs

FYI, command-<number> will let you switch between browser tabs. So command-2 will bring you to the second tab (starting from the left), etc. I tend to only navigate between the first five tabs or so in this manner (basically, what I can reach with my left hand), and I drag tabs I'm likely to navigate to like this to the left.

What this looks like in practice is:

<tab1> some admin console </tab1>
<tab2> email </tab2>
...
<tab10> documentation about the admin console </tab10>
(drag documentation in tab10 to occupy tab2)

Now I can use command-2/1 to go between the console documentation and the console itself. IMO, the cost of dragging a tab to the left is much cheaper than having to break your visual connection with the screen in order to hunt through the touchbar.
