Best bit of advice I got when becoming a new parent was from a retired teacher in my church. “When you see a class of 11 year olds it’s impossible to say who got wooden toys, who was breastfed, who had limited screen-time. But you can always tell who had a loving family.”
>So getting exposure isn't just an arbitrary value. It's relative to tons of things, so it's always been possible to shoot darker skin.

In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area (the image plane illuminance times the exposure time) reaching a frame of photographic film or the surface of an electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture, and scene luminance. Exposure is measured in lux seconds, and can be computed from exposure value (EV) and scene luminance in a specified region. [1]

Image lightness can be affected by both exposure and ISO. But since film had a reduced dynamic range, the truth is it can't reproduce reliable both dark tones and skin tones at the same time. It's a technical limitation.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_(photography)

>You absolutely do not need HDR photography to shoot darker skin with lighter skin. In fact most cameras have enough dynamic range today to deal without an HDR capture.

Actually if you have two individuals side by side, one with dark skin, one with white skin you can't shoot both at the same time and have both look good if the lighting is the same.

Cameras can record at most 14 - 15 Evs of dynamic range. The difference between the light falling on those two persons is more than that.

I am not sure whether you are being sarcastic but there is, in a way. If HN detects that you are posting a duplicate, it just brings you to the previous story. It seems easily confused, though.

Otherwise, if you have a doubt after posting a story, you can click on the website name next to the title to see other stories from the same website, which is another way of seeing duplicates. Of course, this is easier with websites that don’t get 20 stories a day.

> Preference was given to women and minorities.

I directly know of an international financial institution (that probably most of the HN-ers have heard of) telling my SO's company, "off the record", that they would prefer to have a woman engineer assigned to their IT contracting position (my SO works for a IT services consulting company). One of my friends works for a FAANG company and he told me that a woman was directly chosen over a man for a promotion only because she was a woman, the man had higher credentials and had done more for the company than said woman but in the end that wasn't enough. I'm from Europe, where things have not gotten so out of control as in the States, so I suppose over there these cases happen even more often.
Green Fast Keto Pills Review: Scam or Real Customer Results?
Green Fast Keto

Assuming you at any point attempted to begin an eating regimen, you presumably realize that they don't work more often than not. That happens on the grounds that the body is continually consuming carbs, yet we are additionally consistently ingesting them. In this way, we really want to invest a Herculean energy to accomplish precise, substantial outcomes. The vast majority struggle getting the body in a province of Ketosis and remaining there for greatest results.It's fundamental for note that you ought not give this enhancement to youngsters. Individuals under 18 shouldn't utilize it, just as ladies during pregnancy.

GP posed a question about why affordable housing in any particular place should be a goal. I offered an answer.

The market price of labor, or of anything else, does not come to us as if handed down by God. It is the result of a social calculation reflecting the things our society values and how much it values them. The fact that MANGA engineers are paid more than teachers is informed by how much we've decided teachers are worth. If everybody woke up tomorrow and decided teachers were more important than we thought today, then teachers would probably get paid more. Our societal values feed into our prices. In this way, we are morally culpable for the consequences of this calculation, and it is incumbent upon us to change things of the results are unjust. For example, by taking a bunch of money from rich people and giving it to poor people. Or by creating conditions for widely-available affordable housing. And I'm not just saying we "guarantee" the housing. We have the state go in and build it.

By the way, I live in Seattle, which raised it's minimum wage to $15 a few years ago to much doomsaying. Research after the fact found no effect on unemployment. It begins to seem to me like the style of laissez-faire economics that have dominated politics for decades (which I recognize may not have much to do with academic economics) is full of shit.

And, yeah, you better believe I care about feelings. Feelings are the filter through which all human experience flows. The economy exists for us, not us for it What good is strong growth if the system that brings it about makes us all miserable?

>The DAC is quite critical for final sound quality (responses to different frequencies, amount of noise...).

This incorrect statement is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. A DAC on its own is useless for listening to sound, it always has to be accompanied by an amplifier stage. I honestly don't know why people have become focused on the part of a DAC+Amp circuit that rarely matters.

If a DAC makes any difference to the sound quality of the device, then it is a bad DAC. All a DAC should do is output the exact analog signal that was sampled in the digital file (provided it is below the Nyquist-Shannon frequency). Even dirt cheap commodity DAC chips do this well beyond what any human can hear.

If there is any fuckery with the sound, it is probably due to the implementation of the pre-amp or amplifier circuits in the device which have far more ability to introduce distortion or noise to the signal, or introduce a sound signature.

Great rant! I never really boiled it down to the bare nubs like that, but you are right.

How did they pick a name? In Japanese it’s:

As a non-american, for all the lauded military professionalism of the USAF, I personally find them to be a bumbling organisation that can't seem to even do basic research before dropping bombs on people.

There have been dozens of incidents of non-combatants bombed to paste over the last decade and it seems USAF will just simply not fix what it is doing wrong.

Its incredible to me that the guys who lament the fall of Smalltalk always blame Java.

It wasn't Java that killed Smalltalk, it was a combination of ParcPlace's hubris and Visual Basic.

In the end, replacing those "green screen" CRUD apps was much easier in Visual Basic. For starters you could collaborate much easier with VB and visual source safe instead of spending thousands of dollars a seat on Envy/developer.

Second, the guys at ParcPlace simply didn't understand how quickly the pentium PC would decimate the workstation market of Sun etc in financial institutions and how good VB got in a very short space of time.

Yet here we are with another article blaming Java. An easy and lazy target to cover up for that elitism that pervaded the Smalltalk community back then and still does today.

When interest rates on mortgages go back up to 8% or more, the prices will return to sanity. A house is a decaying pile of construction materials requiring constant maintenance. It is NOT an investment, it's barely an asset.

YAML's problem is that whitespace is significant. TOML could be superior to it if it weren't for the fact that they forgot to forbid indentation. And now indented TOML is everywhere, including its wikipedia page.

If we have to make a change, why not finally bite the bullet and go to the form that has existed for decades and is obviously superior to all of these formats? S-expressions. There's even been a standard for data notation brewing for some time: https://github.com/edn-format/edn

Then we can actually forego http://xkcd.com/927 and do something useful with our significantly saved mental energy.

edit I see that I'm not at all alone in wanting edn to replace all this crap. So some action points on how to actually make that happen, in order of preference:

- write or improve robust edn parsers for your ecosystem

- write or improve robust x => edn converters for your ecosystems (x=yaml,json,toml,whateverpoisontheyuserightnow)

- use edn in your projects

- advocate the use of edn

From your question and knowing nothing else, I assumed it was probably low - but it depended primarily on salary and total compensation (is it market rate for your friend? How far off?).

From other answers (the company's fair market value is $30- $70 million vs $0 or unknown, the salary is slightly under market rate), it depends on the difference between your friend's total compensation here and other offers (or realistic other offers they theoretically could get).

I'd ask for more than the difference between this start up's total comp and other offers. Why? Expected value and risk. Get a reasonable risk adjusted amount given liquidity and likelihood it will ultimately be worth $0, $1,000, or even $10,000 (good chance it's in the 90-98% range, and if the company wasn't already worth something it'd be closer to 99%).

It's probably in the ballpark of fair, but not quite there for your friend.
In what world is a city deriving its charter from the state "dystopian?" Californian municipalities are wholly creatures of California state law. They derive their authority from the constitution of California, which grants them the power to enforce only "regulations not in conflict with general laws." If the California legislature wants to pass a law saying, "No more single-family zoning," the municipalities don't have a special constitutional right to ignore that, any more than they have the right to pass a law saying their residents can't sell a house to a disabled person, or that their citizens don't have to pay state tax.

There are some matters which are of enough interest to the entire state of California that the state narrowly prescribes how local institutions may interact with those resources. One existing example is the issue of water, which, as a scarce resource, is heavily regulated by article X of California's constitution [1]. Among other restrictions, article X straightforwardly makes water distribution a state concern: "The use of all water now appropriated... is hereby declared to be a public use, and subject to the regulation and control of the State." The consequence: if a city wants to pass its own particular water regulation, and the state of California disagrees, the city is out of luck.

Another issue the state might have a compelling interst in is the issue of housing. Like water, housing is a human necessity, and a scarce resource. This is especially true in the Bay Area, which is not contained in a single municipality, and which is thus subject to the rule of a number of governments whose competing and parochial interests naturally restrict housing supply in the entire region. Specifically, every locality wants to house the Bay Area's jobs, but it would prefer that neighboring localities house the Bay Area's people. The state of California is the only legal actor capable of fairly adjudicating this issue in such a way as to further the interests of residents of the entire region. This is why it would be perfectly legitimate for California to write laws forcing Bay Area cities to abandon overly restrictive zoning regulations.

I recently found my 5 year old trying to insert scissors into the power outlet. Ours have som kind of poke protection (sweden. Not as good as the british outlet where a ground , proper or plastic, always has to be present) which he would have probably overcome given enough time.

I'm not suggesting getting rid of regulation, I'm just suggesting less.

I'm suggesting (for cars anyway) that there is a point where the marginal systemic cost to save a life isn't worth the dollar amount for the safety technology used to save them.

Backup cameras are the best example of this, I'd have to dig thru my comment history, but the mandate of backup cameras adds some huge amount of cost to cars (when totaled), something like 300k or 500k (or more) per life saved, mostly because people are too lazy/busy/distracted to approach their vehicle from the rear and very few lives are saved in real numbers by backup cameras.

These regulatory burdens have hidden costs, and those costs are shouldered disproportionately by the poor.

The same argument applies to housing, the reason only 'luxury' housing gets built, instead of middle income housing, is because only 'luxury' housing has the profit margins to support the protracted development process you have to go thru to build anything.

While yes, it's true that no one builds low income housing, once you have a good supply of new moderate income housing, yesterdays moderate income housing becomes todays lower income housing. But because we stopped building moderate income housing, the progression downmarket just stopped.

Another thing we missed, is the government ripped out a huge amount of low income housing when it closed down the large housing projects in most urban areas in the early 90's, the focus on "affordable" units by private builders, is a wrong-headed approach to get that capacity back.

I have an ancient Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth headphone adapter. It is the size of a pen cap, has a great little display, a a touch-based sliding volume control, can pair to multiple devices (even has an FM radio!) and a headphone jack that works for any headphones I might want to use.

Sadly, these just aren’t made anymore, and the current crop of BT headphone adapters is, comparatively, pure crap where it regards usability and quality. The MW600 feels like an artifact from an ancient higher civilization in comparison.

Anyone know of a decent replacement?

When I was poking PE many many years ago, one approach I took was "make a brute-force solver, feed it small inputs, see if there is an easy way to reason myself to a closed form".

This sometimes involved looking sequences up in OEIS, sometimes the closed for was obvious from the sequence, and sometimes I used differentials to find it.
