Not the OP, but afaik directly saying you're co-operating with the NSA as a US business entity might be illegal, so Apple not saying it doesn't mean they didn't, quite the contrary (especially taking into consideration Snowden's revelations).

> Around the same time that Kambhampati’s latest application was turned down, another arm of the government, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, gave Dr. Lana Ray, a professor at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., a $1.2-million grant to study cancer prevention using traditional Indigenous healing practices. When the award was announced, Ray said “We need to stop framing prevalent risk factors of cancer as such and start thinking about them as symptoms of colonialism.”
As a keen cyclist who almost got a motorbike license, one massive difference is that a bike weight 10kg (ebike lets say 20) whereas a motorbike upwards of 100, or thereabouts.

I think in traffic you are fairly vulnerable to both, but on a bike, at least if you fall, you don’t have the insult of your own vehicle crushing you as well as whatever obstacle / other vehicle you hit.

I test my backups whenever I buy a new computer... I'll transfer the data from my latest backup to the new computer before I wipe my old computer. After I wipe the old computer I will restore the data from the other backups to test them. I should do it more, but I buy a new computer every 2-3 years and testing the backup is most convenient when I have a "spare" computer on hand.

You should stop once your aspiration to continue is eclipsed by burnout. In other words, you've reached your final plateau, and are so stifled that you must descend.

Note that I am not saying that burnout alone should be cause for quits, far from it, but that you've reached a level of burnout where you are not assimilating what you've learned up to the point of that burnout to help you move past it.

Burnout is always telling us something, that there needs to be some change in our processes.

Of course. Bitcoin is an open ledger that permamently records the flow of tokens to and from each address. You may not know who owns a given address, but if you can tie an identity (by way of KYC laws) to a given address in a chain of transactions, you can "follow the money" as you will.

>Hire someone from roughly your own socioeconomic class and cultural background who won't be tempted to defraud you and just wants a low stress part time job while they work on some personal creative project

The original argument was that you don't want someone who will be tempted to leave soon, because that then is a waste of the time spent training them.

How about pay someone from a lower socioeconomic class enough that they won't be tempted to defraud you, and don't be a jerk to them.
I wish low interest rates were the only thing incentivizing people to invest in real estate. It's tax treatment, it's bailouts, it's government buying underwater real estate and selling it at a loss to the same bank they bought it. It's Fanny and Freddy, ready to take those high risk mortgages off your hands>

And as real estates absorbs all the investment capital, a lot of buildings are built that sit partially or even fully empty, just appreciating. But not really producing anything.

Sometimes, even the shelter a house was designed to provide is not used. People literally buy larger houses for the tax advantages, not because having the space is worth the investment.

Meanwhile, other investments actually produce good and services people are willing to buy and often turn a profit. These kinds of investments are the real source of wealth. A house is something that can only be built using existing wealth, whether yours or borrowed.

All of this is done because someone convinced policy makers that consumption is somehow what causes prosperity. This is incorrect.

It's actually PRODUCTION that creates prosperity. To consume something, someone has to produce it first. Everybody may want a car but until Henry Ford figures out how to produce it cheaply enough, they won't get one.

And that's over investment in real estate is a problem: it takes capital away from innovation. It DELAYS innovations. And those delays cost trillions, depending on what time period you're looking at. Certainly delaying the invention of the assembly line by a century would have cost trillions.
Its baffling to think that the latency between computer and headphones might add multiples of latency added to the signal going hundreds of miles from one computer to another..
Yeah, that makes sense. I’m on both sides on this one, I have two motorcycles, one electric scooter and one electric skateboard. Motorcycles are by far the heaviest thing.

On the other hand, many motorcycles come with sacrifical rubber ‘sliders’ where if a motorcycle is dropped to the ground, the only thing that touches the ground is still the wheels and the rubber sliders on the dropped side. The slider itself is a block of rubber and it’s $10 to replace when ground down sufficiently to a nub.

I’ve found weight to be a less of a problem than I expected in practice.

Just to show how confusing this can get, I’ll elaborate on this a bit.

One confusion is that the word “melodeon” is used more in the UK, Ireland, and Australia (according to Wikipedia) and “diatonic accordion” in the US, but they’re words often used for the same thing, I think?

Harmonicas have free reeds and so do accordions and concertinas, but they don’t use the same parts as someone might guess from the way you said it. Harmonicas (and melodicas) have many reeds cut out of a single metal plate. (Or plastic for some harmonicas.) Accordions typically have pairs of reeds (one push and the other pull) held into a wooden reed block by wax, so they can be individually removed by melting the wax. Some less expensive concertinas use accordion reeds and the crazy-expensive ones use hand-made concertina reeds.

Also, a piano accordion or chromatic button accordion could be tuned to play some notes differently on push versus pull. (For example “Arabic tuning.”) This is rare, though.

A fundamental reason to have different notes on push versus pull is to use fewer reeds, saving weight and complexity, which is more important on smaller instruments. But this resulted in different music and playing styles too so they’re also culturally different.

You are missing the point even more.

The point is: for situations where the government is giving out just money (e.g. subsidies for buying cars, stimulus etc.), it is better to give it to people who use it than to people who hoard it.

That's true if you interpret x86 narrowly to mean only 32-bit legacy environments. Unless I missed something big, the AMD64 System V ABI (x86_64) calling convention has been register based from its origin, likewise with the Windows equivalent.

And people don't realize how "high" latency is for sound in air. 3ms per meter. Sound is 400,000 times slower per distance. Someone 10 feet away in your living room has the same latency as someone about 750 miles from you via magic network pixies (ignoring routing/switching delays, and the latency of each computer at either end going from bits into the network card, to electrical signal changes out the sound jack.)

In your case, 25ms network latency is equivalent to being 8 meters from another musician. That's basically "the other side of a medium-ish room."

It is funny seeing HNers so incredulous that something like this would work, when apparently lots of musicians have been using stuff like this for over a year, without issue. I wish more HNers realized that being smart isn't about knowing things. It's about knowing what you know, and understanding things like biases.

"Well, my knee-jerk reaction is that latency would be a problem. But I'm not a musician and I have no experience here. And clearly a bunch of people put a fair amount of effort into this. Let me see if my knee-jerk reaction is correct by either waiting to seeing what people who have actually used it say, or doing out the math to compare typical network latency to sound-in-air delay."

That's what a smart person says to themselves.

A smart person does not say, "This couldn't possibly be practical, I'm going to comment immediately to that effect."
The point of this benchmark (that you're deliberately ignoring) is actually to have at least one program that realistically shows how bad a language's GC is. Go performs terribly because its GC makes lousy tradeoffs, which is the only reason you're annoyed at its requirements. It's actually probably the best benchmark in the whole set on that site.
The Danish hospital plug looks like somebody who is sick: https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Danish2.html
Key Points:

* Proteins and cells are typically studied with one of two techniques: microscope imaging or biophysical association. With imaging, researchers add florescent tags of various colors to proteins of interest and track their movements and associations across the microscope's field of view. To look at biophysical associations, researchers might use an antibody specific to a protein to pull it out of the cell and see what else is attached to it.

* Microscopes allow scientists to see down to the level of a single micron, about the size of some organelles, such as mitochondria. Smaller elements, such as individual proteins and protein complexes, can't be seen through a microscope. Biochemistry techniques, which start with a single protein, allow scientists to get down to the nanometer scale.

* The team trained an AI platform to look at all the data and construct a model of the cell. The system doesn't yet map the cell contents to specific locations, like a textbook diagram, in part because their locations aren't necessarily fixed. Instead, component locations are fluid and change depending on cell type and situation. With this system, the team discovered new components inside a human kidney cell line, including a new complex of proteins that bind to RNA.

Paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04115-9

Paper Abstract:

The cell is a multi-scale structure with modular organization across at least four orders of magnitude1. Two central approaches for mapping this structure—protein fluorescent imaging and protein biophysical association—each generate extensive datasets, but of distinct qualities and resolutions that are typically treated separately2,3. Here we integrate immunofluorescence images in the Human Protein Atlas4 with affinity purifications in BioPlex5 to create a unified hierarchical map of human cell architecture. Integration is achieved by configuring each approach as a general measure of protein distance, then calibrating the two measures using machine learning. The map, known as the multi-scale integrated cell (MuSIC 1.0), resolves 69 subcellular systems, of which approximately half are to our knowledge undocumented. Accordingly, we perform 134 additional affinity purifications and validate subunit associations for the majority of systems. The map reveals a pre-ribosomal RNA processing assembly and accessory factors, which we show govern rRNA maturation, and functional roles for SRRM1 and FAM120C in chromatin and RPS3A in splicing. By integration across scales, MuSIC increases the resolution of imaging while giving protein interactions a spatial dimension, paving the way to incorporate diverse types of data in proteome-wide cell maps.
As former JSF framework tech lead built on top of Richfaces, the major problem with JSF was its lifecycle model and the fact that Sun et al only defined the basic infrastructure and lead to a forest of frameworks that could hardly interoperate among themselves.

To the point that on my follow up project I ended up recomending for JSP with tag libraries instead, regardless of Sun advising them as deprecated and replaced by JSF.

WebForms never felt as complex as JSF.

I feel JSP like models with component libraries, or MVC are more closer approaches to the whole Web programming model.

No, it was never fixed and probably never will be, because it would make Go perform worse in the latency-sensitive microbenchmarks it wants to do well in.

Yes, TypeScript’s type system is unsound. Yes.

Flow handles some of these cases better, but the invisible keyboard of the market has decided that the extra conceptual/syntactical overhead of introducing co/contravariant types is not worth it for these corner cases. You may disagree, that’s fine. But I’d suggest treating the problem as the engineering tradeoff that it is rather than an absolute fact that every type system must not have any holes and those that do are worthless.
It is consolidation of small time middlemen with a mega-corp. Some people do not have a dog in this fight, but Reliance is already so big in India, I do not see it as positive in long run but the infusion of technology and just in time supplies would change the retail landscape.

Regardless of what you think of this (I tend to agree with the others ITT in that the salesmen here are middlemen just barely above rent seeking), there are two important points:

1. Middlemen form a large part of India's economy, and ripping the band-aid off can send ripples through the rest of the economy (that this will be a negative isn't guaranteed, though.)

2. Continuing from 1, middlemen are also a large bloc, and just like we've seen with the farm laws a strong push from them could lead to new laws to curb Jio's power, despite Ambani's strong links to the ruling party. We've already seen similar pushes against e-com companies leading to some success.
If you're sitting 5 meters from your speakers, you add about 15 ms of latency and, in some cases, people all the way across the globe will hear your sound before you hear it yourself.

Australian plugs are the best I've used for the following reasons (amongst others, mostly mentioned in TFA): two and three-pin (earthed) use the same socket; irreversible (even the 2-pin plug is polarized); the flat pins allow a larger plug/socket contact area for current; small size; partially insulated power-pins stop shorts if stray conductors fall on partially-plugged in plugs.

uBlock Origin is great. It's installed on every machine I use, and for good reason. AdGuard is pretty cool, too, but they're more of a commercial effort.
