skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
the difference between 'dd' and analog tape copy is a regeneration of the write signal.

In 'dd', the buffered data are written "freshly" from a GPIO into the cassette port. This results in a "stiff" or nearly perfect transition from '0' to '1' (and vice versa) because the output transistors in the chip are able to drive sufficient current into the high-impedance input of the cassette recorder's write circuitry mostly an amplifier (with a 20kHz oscillator mixed, but that's a long story) and the circuitry is able to generate rapid flux transitions and the tape can receive them. The resulting bandwidth of the signal into the write circuitry is roughly 20kHz and the resulting flux transitions in the ferrite are "sharp", "tall", brief, critically-damped, and quickly stablize on the microsecond scale.

When performing an analog copy, those some excellent flux transitions are degraded at least 3 key distortions: First, there is limited bandwidth in the read circuitry. This is roughly equivalent to several low-pass or smoothing filters with various attenuations and cutoffs. They result from the original design intent of the recorder for audio, series inductance of the read head, and imperfect corrections for the frequency response of the media (think RIAA record curve). Additional distortions arise from noise, such as thermal, Schott, EMF, etc. There is also wow and flutter from the imperfections of the tape drive resulting in jitter. When the resulting imperfect signal is then sent to the write input of the cassette recorder, the flux transitions on the media are not as ideal and crisp as when a GPIO pin creates them. In general there are no regeneration stages, except for the "comparator" or differentiator in the input stage of the GPIO which reads the tape and determines at each time interval if the freshly-read bit is to be interpreted as a 0 or 1. The flux transitions may still be reliably read, but not after several generations of this process, and it will depend on the general quality of the tape recorder's electronic and mechanical components, tape quality, etc.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I started practicing electric guitar at the ripe age of 20 (with a teacher I met at compulsory army service), and after 6 years of that, played in a band for five years (including a gig in front of four thousand people). My parents only ever once saw me play live - and I think that actually helped, because I never felt forced to practice (as was the case with the piano).
> As Jim Jefferies puts pretty well: there's almost no reason to own a gun if you aren't a hunter except for that you like guns.

There are (conservatively) hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses per year in the United States, and evidence to suggest this actually lowers the rates of various types of violent crimes (including "hot robberies", where the home owner is still in the house when it is being burglarized).

The right to self-defense is a foundational human right, and logically entailed from that is the right to effective means of self-defense.

IMO a lot of them just wants the "real thing" and not necessarily wanting a lethal instrument, so leading majority to non-firing/less lethal subgenres makes sense. They don't need a real working three-stamp Stormtrooper AR9 for 9mm Monday, but that's just my opinion.

First, gun heightens chance of someone dying. But yes, you can shoot to wound to stop attack. But second, there are special laws that say how and when you can use the gun itself - so legally the gun or not does matter.

think of the children.

anyway, i've seen this trend a million times already. two ideologies:

1. people can't protect themselves, can't be trusted to make the right decision etc, so they need to be protected by some law/government/union etc.

2. people can be trusted, they can make the right decisions for themselves, no government involvement is needed.

in today's America point 1 is very trendy.

There are times talking about sexual orientation and talking about sex overlap. This isn't. bavell stated they meant sex independent of sexual orientation specifically. a_shovel stated they meant sexual orientation outside the context of sex specifically.

A search engine can define socially transitioning for you. The relevance of children having same sex parents or socially transitioning is sexual orientation and gender identity are visible to children in age appropriate ways. Not invisible until puberty.

The law not defining age appropriate is irrelevant to the total ban through grade 3.

The national poll casts doubt on the presented interpretation of the Florida poll.
US reasoning is so weird. It's ALWAYS safer to have no gun than to have one? I'd even say that you have less chance to get shot unarmed than you do armed. Is there any data to back this up?

> habbit of inefficiently thtowing money and people at a problem

I've repeatedly commented on this phenomenon. In my experience this has never worked and unlikely to work. I've seen at least 2-3 startups doing well go completely offtrack by sudden infusion of big VC money. They are then expected to ship features like no tomorrow which leads to rampant hiring. As a result salaries go through the roof messing up internal compensation parity. Also, money attracts a certain persona of people who are good at building empires and not creating value.

I guess what I'm trying to say is; a big infusion of VC money is rarely a good thing for an org. They stop being efficient and innovative orgs. When money is abundant the first response to any challenge is to throw money at it. Is website not able to handle traffic? Throw bigger DB, more machines. Not able to ship a feature on time? Hire a dozen more. Is user sign up down? Run a cash back campaign. This may help them crush a competitor in the short run but by the the music stops and money dries up once efficiency driven org would have lost that DNA.
It's a really hard line to draw. When you realize mistakes you made as a kid and young adult, the pain or disadvantages it caused...and you love a little creature so much you never want them to experience that, it's easy to overstep bounds.

Not that that's here nor there if the framing of the story is true. But we all know there are three sides to every story.
JWTs solve problems about statelessness. Most companies don’t have these problems and are better off with stateful basic auth tokens/cookies that are widely understood and supported and can be easily revoked.

Also, signed and/or encrypted communication is usually easier to implement without involving JWTs.

Best thing to do in security is to not roll your own and instead use trusted libraries that have industry-reviewed sane defaults. One way to check: look at the issues and PRs in the public repo and see if security-focused issues are promptly addressed, especially including keeping docs up-to-date. Security professionals are pedantic (for good reason).

Yes, but that is quite massive dysfunction of those companies. Meaning, we can yell at analysts-programmers as much as we want, what really needs to be fixed is the process that makes finding out requirements so ridiculously hard.

And yes, I work in one of those companies, it very clearly is dysfunction.

I've come to the conclusion that Abstraction Logic (AL) is actually the golden middle between FOL (first-order logic) and HOL (simply-typed higher-order logic with Henkin semantics): You can view it both as FOL plus operators/general variable binding, and as HOL minus static types!

> For example USA gun ownership: 120/100 people [0]. Australia gun ownership: 30/100. So maybe 4 times any many guns in the USA. But gun homicides: 4.12/100 in the USA, 0.18 in Australia. 22 times higher

> The fact the the USA's civil society hasn't managed that makes us think you yankees are a little odd.

First, your stat on US homicide is off by a factor of 1,000. It should read 4.12/100,000.

This is going to be controversial, but the facts are the facts. Gun homicides in the US are vastly skewed toward a single group of people in urban areas. 34.9 gun homicide victims per 100,000 people are blacks. 1.5 gun homicide victims per 100,000 people are whites. Blacks are 23.3 times higher than whites to be victims of a gun homicide. Furthermore, the black victims lived in large urban areas and were shot by other blacks around 90% of the time.

Now, some articles suggest that most guns are owned by white men, but I do not share the same trust in the estimate of guns that you may. How are these estimates arrived at? Anyway, assuming that one accepts the premise that most guns are owned by white men in rural America and that proliferation of guns is the main cause of gun homicides, why aren’t most gun homicides committed in rural areas by white men? Do you see the problem? Or are Australians a little odd?

The issue appears to not be due to high numbers of guns. It appears to be highly concentrated in urban black communities. So why is this not discussed by the media and mostly Democratic politicians, especially when it ravages blacks in urban communities that are governed by politicians that are Democrats? Probably for the same reason that my response which is based on cold hard statistics will be flagged or voted down. The oddity of the US is not the people, but the pathetic politicians that are more concerned about a political talking point than finding the root cause of the issue.

> 2014 travel between NYC and Chicago is only barely faster than it was over 80 years ago.

Your issue is twofold: you are focusing solely on one metric to measure efficiency, arguably the worst one (speed), and you then further narrow the scope by saying efficiency gains must come from one dimension of the business ("aeronautical" advances).

There are obvious reasons for speed to not increase further, namely the speed of sound as you already mentioned, so this is a non-starter. We are simply not trying to make commercial planes faster anymore because that would be useless.

Regarding the second point, I think it is remarkable that you present data that directly contradicts your hypothesis and fail to realize that. If we are starting more flights, carrying more people and using the same fuel, the precise definition of it is an efficiency increase. To achieve that we had improvements in booking, avionics, crew training, business models (Ryanair and other low-costs), etc. The fact that we could make a few flights at incredible cost 80 years ago does not mean that we routinely achieving far safer, cheaper and frequent flights at the same speed today is stagnation, rather the opposite in my view.

Most jobs require a huge time investment and a reliable schedule.

At least theoretically, you could accommodate children by only giving them small roles that require very infrequent time investment on their part, and a bunch of people keeping an eye on everything going on.

The question is whether such a thing can be worked out at all, or whether it's safer just to jinx the entire idea, reasoning that there will be too much rule breaking despite good intentions.

It's definitely going to depend on the country and legal system -- it seems in Russia there's a fair amount of series with child actors in them, and I wonder how well they're treated, because a long running series is definitely going to be very demanding even on adults.

Personally, I doubt it.

My main struggles with piano were chords, and sightreading. Chords aren't really relevant in vocals since a single person can only sing a single note at any given time, and I wasn't great at sightreading then either. And I find breath control a lot easier than trying to anticipate where my hands need to go (as someone with small hands, a lot of pieces were quite difficult)
One side of the issue is gun availability.

The other side is that the American culture has a toxic side which can drive lonely young men to perform despicable acts.

Imagine being a lonely young boy, growing up getting bullied all the time, being told you amount to nothing, and it's your fault, and at the same time, while everyone around you is deep into corruption and sin, they preach to you that you should be sinless and pure!

I am not American, but I can sense the contradiction from miles away. And if it goes on for too long, especially when one is young, it can turn a person into a mass murderer.

Sadly, mental health issues stemming from society's ills is not really discussed anywhere and in depth. The focus is only on gun laws, gun ownership and gun availability. I am not saying that it is not an important aspect of the problem, but it cannot really be solved by just stricter gun control...even if guns were not really available, the people with mental health issues would use bombs or use other means to kill. But then the focus would be on terrorism, and the mental health problem will still not be discussed, because it's such a difficult topic...
