Some context to note:

* The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) Governor and Deputy Governor have, more than once, publicly expressed the view that all cryptocurrencies should be banned for all purposes. A few years ago the RBI even instructed banks not to work with cryptocurrency exchanges, but that was overruled by the Supreme Court two years later with the justification that there was no law to do that and that this action was disproportionate.

* The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has publicly made statements that cryptocurrency is “spoiling the youth” and that all countries should come together to control (which in his view is banning) them.

* In the recent annual budget announcements, the finance minister announced an unexpected 30% tax on all income from “virtual digital asset transfers” without allowing any set offs (except the base cost). Also added was a 1% TDS (tax deducted at source, or tax withholding) for every transaction calculated on the transaction amount!

Given these biases against cryptocurrencies and the strict need for capital and current account controls on Indian Rupee transfers that the RBI is addicted to manage (it actually prefers a steadily but continuously depreciating Rupee), it’s not a surprise that public utterances about macroeconomic stability would be published as a stance. The RBI and the Finance Ministry have been struggling to get a grip on the economic levers (with COVID making it worse), and believe that anything they cannot control easily is a threat to them, first and foremost.

The Indian government is more focused on protectionism and controls than on capitalizing on opportunities.
Ancient Greek and Latin letters ultimately go back to a Semitic alphabet. Any meaning of the names and shapes of letters must go back to Proto-Semitic eg Aleph looked like an oxhead and means ox; Bet (originally) looked like and means House. This is akin to if the first letter of our system were called apple and looked like an apple and produced the short "a" sound; The sound "b" was represented by a letter that looked like and was called banana; etc. Greek (and others) adopted the letter shapes and kept the names (Aleph=>Alpha, Bet=>Beta, Gimel=>Gamma, etc) even though Alpha Beta etc bear no meaning in Ancient Greek outside of the letter name. More importantly Greek (and others) adapted the letter shapes (graphemes) to fit their letter sounds (phonemes). For instance, ancient (and modern) Semitic alphabets do not include vowels. Ancient Greek really needed to write vowels. Semitic used glottal stops that Ancient Greek didn't. So, Ancient Greek took the letters of unused sounds (like Aleph, which was originally not the vowel "a" but a glottal stop not used in Ancient Greek) and attributed a vowel sound to it. After appropriating the breathy sound of Het to the long "A" sound of Eta, and a few other vowels, Greek still needed more. So they invented Omicron and Omega, which are just self-explanatory names of "small (ie short) o" and "big (ie long) O." Likewise Upsilon and Epsilon (psilon in Greek means naked/plain; so "plain uh" and "plain eh")
All of this is to say that the meanings attributed to Greek or Roman or Etruscan letter shapes in those respective languages were appointed after the fact. To get at the original meaning of these letter shapes, one must refer to its Semitic origins.
If interested, one may read what Theo Vennemann has to say about how the Futhark Runes may reflect a direct adoption of the Semitic alphabet by Germanic peoples rather than the more commonly held belief that Germanic tribes got the alphabet from Greeks, Etruscans and Italians.

>These freedom convoys are protesting in an illegal way

"Illegal" is whatever the government decides. In Canada, they have written broad laws to make most forms of protest illegal. I am annoyed by protests for things I don't care about (or even dislike), but I acknowledge that protest has an extremely important place in democracy. It has been the force for positive change throughout history. To acquiesce to the de facto position that protesting should be illegal - and that is the effective message here - underscores a profound lack of understanding of the importance of the deeply democratic act.

I can't recall the exact Monty Python line, but the sentiment seems appropriate now: "you may protest in the designated protesting square in the fenced section behind parliament. Just don't make any noise."

To quote the infamous American Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, "the whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable."
All in all, I will say that I don't mind tech being concentrated on the coasts. Being a Midwest US person, I am happy with what's available job wise and fine with the lower cost of living when compared to the coastal cities.

I used them at the previous company I worked. They were just launching their products.

They have the best support I ever encountered, we were having weird delivery issue on some specific clients and they help us debug the whole problem.

They have more than fair pricing and actually do a manual verification when you want to start using them (and not just testing with your own domain).

I really don't understand all the hate in the comments for this article. This seems like a really fine introduction to a lot of the concepts. I had to scour the web a long time before understanding that the scales were constructed because of the simple/reduced ratio of root note to the others, which is clearly spelled out in this article.

Music theory is, in my experience, typically taught as a list of facts to remember. Deriving it from first principles, insofar as it can be, is not common. This article is attempting to start that process.

Some commentators are saying that the article doesn't address why we have 12 notes but I wonder if they even know why (one answer is because it's a good compromise between number of notes and that have simple/reduce ratios to each other [0]). I'm also skeptical of music theorists that can't even attempt an answer to basic questions about note length frequency, why some chords are "sad" or "happy" and other basic questions. It's difficult because music theory is a hodge podge of theory that's attempting to describe what's effectively an evolved language (with different music evolution for different regions), but there are some basic tenets that probably apply.

I don't claim to have deep knowledge but there are a few key facts about music and music theory that are really obscure unless you know where to look. Any attempt at coming to music theory from a more rigorous foundation should be encouraged.

> "The idols" in jazz did knew and did applied theory

When jazz music appeared, there were no conservatories or theory for it. The first jazz conservatories emerged fifty years later. Today they find many graduates, for example, from Berklee. But this is a development that has only begun in the last forty years. It didn't make the music better, it just made it different.

Fundamentally, the entire issue of toxic is baffling to me as is the call for greater moderation. If you see someone you deem as toxic, ignore their comments, simple as that. Moderation ALWAYS introduces the moderator's bias. If moderation is limited to language, i.e., keep it family friendly as one of my sports communities is then it works. If it extends further as with Facebook, Twitter, et. al. then it simply becomes a biased echo chamber that benefits no one. Most folks today are simply too sensitive and think they should be shielded from thoughts that run counter to their own views. And something that many people never learned in school or in life thus far -- differing or minority opinions aren't always wrong whether the topic is COVID, climate change, or any other current obsession.

This is true of individual crypto-holders too. The people with billions in crypto are all over twitter saying how holding coins and NFTs is for the people.

The crypto ecosystem is almost exactly the same as the massive wealth concentration in America, except worse. The narrative from those at the top, and the willingness of people to defend them, is the same.

People rabidly defending Elon Musk is equally strange. He’s trolling on the internet, not looking out for you.
Well not yet you can't, as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what I'd do if I had to pay for everyday things in crypto.
SSH keys authenticate you. They are an identity. You probably don't need more than one or two identities (maybe personal and work). You can just get a couple of YubiKeys and configure the OpenPGP applet, or the PIV applet, with an authentication key/certificate and use that for SSH. Take the token with you and you've got some pretty strong authentication.

More modern SSH servers will let you use U2F security keys in the same way, which are cheaper than the full YubiKey.

I've learned recently that YubiKey has really good documentation for how to set up their tokens to achieve different goals, it would be worth reading their docs if you're considering getting a hardware token for your keys.

Until the point that nobody wants to be the USD bag holder.

I've wondered why no one has bought wolfram alpha and used it to power knowledge bases. Certainly it seems cheaper for Apple to have down that as a start point than to start from scratch. Maybe it's too technical for most users?
You sell 1 ton for $20, and I sell 1 ton for $10 but thereby increase the demand (for my cheaper iron) more than double, I'm not only going to outsell you in "tonnage" but also earn more cash than you. My cheap iron will make people make things out of iron like never before, things you wouldn't even consider back doing with $20 iron.

The scalability of software greatly amplifies this point.

It's not the work being done that creates value, the work must be done, sure, it can be done by anyone.. Most programmers have the technical skill to build billion dollar products, and some of them do (mostly for others), and yet, most of us are not "fu" rich, because we've not had the idea for what to build with those skills.
> yet advise banning it as it competes as a currency to the Rupee.

You're (perhaps unintentionally) misrepresenting their case as saying "competes as a currency" being the main reason for the ban. They lay out the many reasons for it, including (and I'm giving their opinion here, not mine) its inherent lack of stability, the energy usage, control being in the hands of foreign companies/economies, and also that when people try to use it as a currency, it can lead to destabilization because it tilts the advantage in favour of currencies of A[dvanced]E[conomie]s. The last point is the one you mention, and even it isn't a concern about cryptocurrencies themselves being competition, just it opening doors for stronger and potentially destructive competition from already stronger currencies.
unittest is included in the Python standard library. Adding third-party libraries is a huge step to take for a project, and just “nicer to work with” does not cut it. Third-party libraries come and go, and depending on one means being subject to the storms of changes and lulls of inactivity and death. But the standard library is dependable.
And to this point, those who have asked for a return to "immutability" within the Roman church have been pilloried, mocked, and continually derided by the current Pope and his henchmen.

> Well, to be a little pedantic, Perl cannot be statically parsed, since some constructs require runtime context.

If you're going to be pedantic, it's important to be correct; there's no such thing as dynamic parsing.

> If it could not be parsed it could never work!

What's the logic here? An interpreter doesn't have to operate on an AST, a language doesn't have to have a nontrivial grammar (consider Brainfuck). Perl is just a language in the same category: it doesn't have a (true) nontrivial AST, it doesn't have a (true) nontrivial grammar, and it can't be (truly, nontrivially) parsed.
The term validation is overloaded so I’m avoiding it.

EV is/was proof of identity. And proof of identity needs a scalable solution for the web. Certificate pinning won’t scale unless the browser knows all possible certificates in advance.

Knowing whether something is a scam is a separate topic from verification. Think of other verification systems - people may be known, but bad. Admittedly twitter muddied the water here terribly by removing verification badges from people that twitter considers to have broken their terms of service.
> take advantage

You are assuming that these hypothetical "south east Asian women" are being exploited due to their contrast with "white men" i.e.:

- They are not white

- They are women

And they are being exploited solely because of these factors. This is both racist and sexist, which is just entirely a bad starting point for a view of the world. Everyone that you speak of has agency and makes choices. Perhaps you feel one side has been coerced, but frankly I do not see it from what you've pointed out here. All I see is people using the agency they have to make life choices that they think are best. That's a good thing.
Can you give an example of a master speaker who doesn't know how to read or write, and are completely ignorant of grammar and how language works? And can you really say that one such example would make speaking mostly unrelated to language theory?
I would consider myself a generalist, but at the same time still say I'm a back-end dev as that is my focus and strength. I can't imagine what strength a 'generalist' brings that isn't covered by an experienced specialist (which gets breadth through experience) or a full-stack dev.

Sounds maybe like a fullstack dev that also wants to own product research and development. A founder for a startup could fit.

All teams need good problem solvers. There are what are called 'T'-shaped developers. What I would consider a generalist is merely a TT (or TTT-shaped, etc) ones having more experience.

Another good area might be Data Scientist that work on problems and solutions without doing the work of figuring out all the implementation details (data engineers).

If we compare these to people who contributed to basic science and technology, I think we must draw a line between industry giants and enterprise giants.

Morgan, Ford, Edison, Carnegie, Rockefeller, were enterprise giants.

Tesla, Holonyak, Salk, were industry giants.

I fundamentally think this is not a solvable problem using certs. Short of calling up the company directly and asking no amount of signaling in the browser will help.

Also why do I care about an EV cert as a user? does it tell me anything actually useful? Things I do care about as a user:

* Is my connection encrypted? (Browsers tell me this just fine)

* Is the site known to be malicious? (Browsers tell me this just fine)

* Have I been MiTM'd (Browsers protect against this just fine)

Things I don't care about as a user:

* Is this site actually owned by a specific Corporation?

Literally have never cared. Not once. Knowing this has never made me more secure or given me more confidence because fundamentally knowing who someone on the internet is does not tell me how trustworthy they are without way more context.
Well they don't need your public key as well to do that kind of MITM so not sure thats really relevant.
