> That NIST has a history of being compromised by the NSA is a problem.

It's a disqualifying problem. If you go to a standards body to prevent yourself from making unintentional mistakes, and they have introduced intentional mistakes, any other reasonable option is better.
Change jobs. No one stays at the same place for 4 years these days.
yup, c10k (iirc) was one of the affected platforms.
djb has got to be the single biggest pain in the ass for the NSA and I love it.
Android tablets are behind too. I'm talking about the Surface line, which has sales on par
>That kinda defeats the whole purpose of an ASGI app.

Unless I’m missing something, wouldn’t an async ORM provide significant benefit for apps with an internet-based DB connection? I would think the underlying DB ops would be much faster than sending a request and waiting on a response.
If tidal offered that it would be good value and a real differentiator.
Oh, I wouldn’t say specific performance is close to 100%.

I have no real basis for this, but if I had to put a number on it I’d say it’s a 40% chance (if you let me put a range I’d say between 20-80%, so I don’t have really any confidence in my guess).

But if they don’t get specific performance (which gets them a good sale price, but loses them Twitter), they are very likely to get damages (maybe capped at $1B, maybe not capped at that), which gets them a decent amount of liquid assets while they don’t lose Twitter.

So, I agree, there’s room to negotiate in the uncertainty of the ruling but not getting specific performance doesn’t really mean Twitter loses. The alternative to specific performance could still be a big cash payout with no loss of assets.

So, I think the fear of losing for Twitter is very small. And specific performance is I think a bigger threat towards Musk than its a desirable outcome for Twitter.
It's a good point. I had a scammer stole my credit card number. I reported the fraud and the bank instantly removed it, but the scammers just said I was lying and eventually got their money back. Bank backed the scammers and said I must be lying because the scammers produced a tracking number for some arbitrary package that went to my same zip code (but not my address).

As a customer I found getting the charge reversed and then unreversed as not much different experience than the bank telling me to go fuck myself to begin with. It's actually laughably easy for the merchant to fight a chargeback by just providing any arbitrary tracking number to your zip code as full satisfactory proof they fulfilled their agreements. The writings of this article do not anywhere near match the reality I've seen with chargeback process and appeals process, which seam to heavily favor the merchant.
If one of my banks made an app mandatory, I’d find a new bank. All my banks function fine via desktop web browser.
Defamation is not protected under the first amendment.

Jones might have had a credible defense against the allegations of defamation (I haven't bothered to read the original complaint or any of the motions)--and defamation is notoriously hard for the plaintiffs to win in the US--but he was so uncooperative during discovery that he had a default judgement entered against him, meaning the only thing the jury had to decide was how much damages to award.
How common is similar fraud in the UK and EU?
Actually, no, the jury verdict on punitive damages is $45.2 million, but that is certain to be reduced before Jones is ordered to pay (there seems to be some dispute over whether a portion of the compensatory damages award is economic or not, and depending on the answer on that, the cap under Texas statutory punitive damages caps would seem to be somewhere between $750k and $1m; even if the plaintiffs succeed in their plan to challenge the statutory caps as unconstitutional and the cap that applies is 10× compensatory, as they have suggested it should be, that would cap punitive at $41 million.)

The $50m is adding the punitive and compensatory verdicts, neither of which are yet part of a judgement he has been ordered to pay.

On the other hand, this case involves 2 parents. There is a larger case in Connecticut that doesn't face Texas punitive damages caps that he has also suffered default on and will face damages, as well as another Texas case.
Right, it's marketing to attract foreign students I believe and bad taste IMHO.

But the difference in practice between a college and a university in the US is not clear cut even there.

In Sweden the distinction between "högskola" (college, basically) and university is not super clear either.

One needs to look at the specific faculty in question to know if it's any good. This goes for all schools.
This testimonial almost has me wanting to try it on an “album”[1] I recorded when I was in a “band”[2] in high school. I too lost all of the source files[3].

1: On second thought maybe not. It has not aged well.

2: Me and another kid, with a guitar, a pre-OS X Mac, a pirated copy of Rebirth, a pirated copy of SoundEdit 16, and literally the mic that Apple used to include with (some?) Macs. I’d back-reference[1], but our equipment was not the problem. Well, except for [3].

3: I learned my lesson: I should have been older and had a job that would afford me a backup drive, so I could sample the sounds of that dying HDD and retcon the samples into my “album”[1].
I would really like to know more about this topic. Is there a forum that people who dabble in mods post to?
Reverse engineering is legal, e.g., the Compaq Portable, which was a much better value than the IBM PC.
I clicked to find Roggenbier and was not disappointed. I love them but they’re really tricky to mash and sparge without getting stuck.

I made one a few months ago and served it with rye sourdough and fermented butter. Life is good.
This is already integrated, at least in my Hyundai Kona Electro.

Lane holding assist and adaptive cruise control only works for speeds up to 170 km/h (which is also very near max speed for the electric version, to be honest), while you are holding the steering wheel and are giving active input and only if the weather is good enough.

Failing to hold the wheel for some seconds or only "resting" your hands on it will trigger optical and visual warnings and will disable the assistance systems if you fail to act.

I've also experienced that heavy rain or snow have disturbed the car so much that it wouldn't allow to activate the assistance systems due to the weather conditions.

So, for some car brands it's already there.

You forgot to mention that the bank has $100,000 cash and a debt instrument (asset) that is worth more than $400,000 on its balance sheet after writing the $500,000 check to the seller.

Also, the question was ‘How does the government print money?’ and not ‘How does a bank lend money?’
He got off easy considering he was profiting by ruining these people's lives
No, I meant non gas station providing air for free... Since we're on the topic of businesses giving free services only tangentially related to what they sell.

It's a shame that while perjury during a civil trial is illegal, it's almost never prosecuted. His behavior was particularly egregious and I doubt this judgement will stop him from continuing to target everyone involved in the trial.
That's one possible take on it, but there are others. From a natural rights perspective, we don't "give" rights anyway - they exist regardless, we just recognize them or violate them. And if so, what's so special about humans that causes them and only them to have natural rights? Why not persons in general?
you buy one, and ask your engineers to go to work on it. make sure it is air gapped…
Any article involving high end digital vs. analogue audio is guaranteed to spawn a huge HN discussion about how gullible audiophiles are vs. how high quality audio is more subtle than a few good numbers.

You can count on it, like a precisely timed quartz oscillator. And as long as the power is on, it likewise will never be settled.

Tried splitting a complex arrangement (Chicago by Sufjan Stevens). Drums bass and vocals come out fairly well, though the drums stem seems to lack other percussion elements outside of the core rock drumkit (e.g. tamborine), and cymbals hits are clipped rather than ringing. The 'other' stem, the rest of the instrumentation, keeps a fair bit of the percussion and there's bleed from the vocal melody.

The backing vocals seem to have disappeared for the most part, and are only audible in the vocals stem when the lead vocal is present (like they're reverse-ducked? Been a while since I did any production, the terms have escaped me...).

Not much use with complex arrangements to be honest, I was hoping to get things like the strings section separated from the rest of the arrangement.

It does seem rather disingenuous that the product page makes no mention that the author didn't do the heavy lifting, and that at the same time it features a prominent donation button.

If I didn't know who did the real work and benefitted a lot from this tool, I'd give to StemRoller in proportion to my gratitude -- which I'm sure others are liable to do.
Are the royalties really such a huge part of a laptop's price? Because other than that, RISC-V's open nature is not really relevant to us consumers, even us techies. It's not like we're going to bake our own SoCs. And the ARM ABI is open as well.

It also has a big head start on efficiency. So for now I think I'd much rather have ARM.
That seems like an artificial barrier.

We can improve certain aspects of ourselves without deeply understanding the entirety of what it is to be human.
No, an important property of a secure cryptographic cipher is that it should be as close to a random permutation of the input as possible.

A "randomly assembled" cipher that just chains together different primitives without much thought is very unlikely to have that, which will mean that it will probably have "interesting" statistical properties that can be observed given enough plaintext/ciphertext pairs, and those can then be exploited in order to break it.
What. Protocol Buffers are from 2001, Go is from 2009.
For sure. I’d love to try some stuff from the Balkans before hops arrived, or cask ales in 17th century England. Colonial American beers with weird ingredients would be fun too.
a lot of people have said a lot of things about this

if I was going to buy something for billions of dollars, you'd better believe multi-year long negotiations, court cases, and backing off as a tactic would be an obvious strategy

i'll buy into either side's spam once something actually happens, premature judgement -> sensationalism in this case
You may need to have a reason that's called out in the deal to walk away from the deal. If you've e.g. waived inspection contingency and later find some issue w/ the house, you may be forced to close the deal anyway (there may be other contingencies like problems w/ securing financing, but I think that ship has sailed for Elon as well). Not a lawyer, but I expect there may be some way to walk away if you can prove the seller knew about the defect - that also doesn't seem applicable to Twitter deal, since IIUC Twitter gave Elon access to the data they have. We'll see how it plays in court, but I think it's a decent analogy.
Err, a 16" MBP has a 3456x2234 screen. That's not on par.
> The Taiwanese themselves previously took over the island

That makes no sense.

From Wikipedia:

> Around 6,000 years ago .... Austronesian ... Han Chinese fishermen began settling in the Penghu islands in the 13th century.

That's 800 years ago.

Are you going to motivate an attack and invasion and war today, with what others did that far ago?

And then:

> In 1626, the Spanish Empire landed on and occupied northern Taiwan [...] 1642, when the last Spanish fortress fell to Dutch forces.[83] The Dutch then marched south, subduing hundreds of villages

That's Spain and the Netherlands, not Taiwan, occupying ... Taiwan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

You could have the whole world be at war with itself everywhere, by looking back some hundred years and motivating conflicts today with what you then find.
Is there a third option beyond government and corporations?
I’m just saying the issue isn’t legally moot, because there’s a legal path even after due diligence is waived.

But, I think the facts of this case almost certainly foreclose that path.
The token exists to bootstrap the ecosystem and give early adopters upside. Otherwise getting necessary global adoption to get it off the ground is not possible.

Like with all startups Helium has under 10% chance to make long term and for that upside to realise.
What happened to his lawyer, who accidentally (?) sent his phone conversations to the opposing party?
Yeah, something about this being in South America had a real Borges/Cortazar quality.
I don't agree with the "no digital!" crowd, but surely their claim is that digital can't accurately reproduce the original intended sounds, so (even if they were right) that wouldn't make them need to boycott anything where the original intended sound includes something produced digitally? It's not like they're claiming to be allergic to digital noise, just that it loses fidelity in the transfers.

Weird Expressions and Where to Find Them
If you have the means to retire, slogging through a few last bad years doesn’t sound great. It’s no surprise that some opted for early retirement since 2020, even if they are retiring at lower income levels then they wanted.
>Fair enough, but like... am I crazy to think that the proper managerial response to "I don't understand this" should be "maybe I should ask the experts I employ" instead of "so no one gets to use it ever"?

100% agree for the record. I'm just speaking as the programmer who just spent a couple months banging my head against node till I shook the ignorance out... and I'm regularly told I'm insane by peers in terms of just not quitting/working through things/handling frustration.

The pain inherent to reaching professional competency from something like say... Python... is not anything to sneeze at.
For iPhones, there is a background noise generator built into the phone (in Accessibility settings, controllable from the Control Center). On Android, a similar solution likely exists (one that continues to play even if other apps are playing audio).

You would just need to set one of those up, quiet enough not to be too annoying, but loud enough so that the stereo doesn't think its silent.

Also, there are audiobook players (for Android, at least) that skip over silent sections of the audio track.
Yes, there’s deffo something to that.

Hence the cassette revival for those of us of a certain vintage.
It doesn't mean anything for protected free speech because:

1) as other commenters have pointed out, this is for defamation against the parents for saying they were actors, sending "reporters" to harass them, etc.

2) He lost the defamation case by default for repeatedly refusing to comply with the court pre-trial. This trial was solely to determine damages.

> On September 27, 2021, a district judge in Texas issued three default judgments against Jones, requiring him to pay all damages in two lawsuits. These rulings came after Jones repeatedly failed to hand over documents and evidence as ordered by the court, which the judge characterized as "flagrant bad faith and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rules."

I hope not my rot-13 implementation from school.
The biggest example is our cell phones. They may not be implanted (yet), but we keep them physically with us 24x7 and they have significantly altered our behavior.
There's probably some element of this as well. My point is that we've got lots of "deniers, bla bla" type comments that seem to want to focus on looking down on others (how could they be so ignorant in light of this grape harvest data) instead of realizing that what people are opposed to are the "solutions" being proposed that somehow nicely also promote some kind of political world view. Take the politics out of the equation, and "deniers" are not going to care about the minutia of grape harvests or ice cores.

Or instead I guess we can just keep congratulating ourselves on how airtight the case for AGW is and mocking "deniers", hoping one day we get the political tools to ignore their concerns.

Anyway, I'm happy to be reminded of why i stopped posting here.
I just ordered the Kona EV (expecting delivery next week). What are your thoughts on it?

As for the 'security' features you mentioned, my 2015 Mazda CX-5 did the same (just not sure about the weather as I don't remember driving it in very bad weather except for a snow trip but I didn't put any of those things on). Couple seconds no pressure, beep. A few more and disabled lane assist. It also warned me of driving fatigue by analysing my driving and other stuff. I always felt it was helping me by making me a 'better driver' and not actually trying to control the car.
Ask HN: How to behave as an immigrant with russian background?

Original Demucs author here. Thanks for putting forward our research!

I’m definitely happy to see more front ends for Demucs being developed and to read that it has been useful to other musicians!

We are working on the next iteration of the model, and with more sources, hopefully released by the end of the year :)

If you are interested in this research you can follow my Twitter (@honualx) or star the Demucs repo.
Nope, you can't apply the same mastering to the vinyl, esp. the latest stonewalling compression/normalization techniques because of RIAA equalization [0].

Without RIAA equalization, it's not possible to keep the needle in the groove with that amount of bass and low end. You can't keep the needle on the track with stonewalling even with RIAA equalization.

As a result, you are limited by the medium itself, hence you have to make milder choices.

Josh is a great person and the internet is also full of in depth aerodynamic and rolling resistance information thanks to him.
What's always blown me away is that chips are built up in layers. These layers are built up by lithography, which involves depositing an extremely thin sheet of material and then etching out the pattern for wires, etc. The etching requires accurately exposing a mask pattern on the layer. Each subsequent layer must perfectly align with the layer below, or the chip is dead. We're talking 1 to 2nm alignment (millionths of a mm) . So a 'printing head' must move accross the wafer stepping accross for each chip and land exactly over the previous layer. The stepping is extremely quick. So move 20cm and stop within 1nm, that's orders of mangintude in speed and accuracy. consistently. Jesus, how do they build these things!
I've seen numbers of 1-3% of the chip price quoted as ARM licensing fees (and presumably the really large customers have their own deals). AFAIK the higher-end RISC-V designs cost similar amounts if you license them.
I don't know how wild and crazy your tiles are, but I got mine specifically for my tile floor.
> they want it to be left to the states

this is a dog-whistle for "we want to ban it in our red states", just like abortion... once obergefell is overturned, expect same-sex marriage bans to follow soon-after (probably starting with texas, florida)

Traditional marriage and family, based on marriage between one man and one woman, is the foundation for a free society and has for millennia been entrusted with rearing children and instilling cultural values. We condemn the Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Windsor, which wrongly removed the ability of Congress to define marriage policy in federal law. We also condemn the Supreme Court's lawless ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which in the words of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, was a "judicial Putsch" — full of "silly extravagances" — that reduced "the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Storey to the mystical aphorisms of a fortune cookie." In Obergefell, five unelected lawyers robbed 320 million Americans of their legitimate constitutional authority to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Wow - was not expecting this level of depth. This is a masterclass in retail / payments from end to end. The title just doesn't do it justice. Thank you for sharing.

No human understood feudal society? What about the leaders of those societies?
Well, a personal anecdote: I have been using pen and paper in a similar fashion as the author for over 20 years. In fact, the last few years I’ve been using literally the same notebook and pen they mention (albeit with different ink).

It works because I much prefer to think with pen and paper. I have a tendency to rush through things and this forces me to slow down. I can always take the results and make them digital, which I often do. Lately this has served as a useful way to re-acquaint myself with previous thoughts and connect them with newer thoughts. And I use Bear for that along with a good keyboard.
How does it compare (feature-wise, performance, stability) with e.g. hunchentoot (which clearly wins the naming contest)?
Clearly you've never been arrested. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a fantasy in the USA, especially if you're a part of a minority group. 90-95% of cases settle with a plea bargain, because the punishment will be disproportionately severe if you lose the case.

Regardless, any system which inherently favors businesses over individuals is wrong. Businesses have the option of building the known cost of fraud into the products, whereas individual customers can easily get screwed without any recourse. What good is a gift card if the store turns out to be a bad actor?

Ideally neither side should be favored and the process should be impartial and difficult to game. Dunno how to make such a system though, humans are a crafty bunch.

"Better a thousand guilty people go free than imprison an innocent."
I can’t believe they charge over $12k for that half baked, under resourced, buggy pile of crap.
In cases judged by AI judges then?
The judge found him guilty of withholding evidence and did a summary judgement of guilty, and moved to the damages portion with a jury.

Which is strange, skipping over the evidence trial and going straight to damages. They didnt say what the evidence being withheld was, and no video evidence against him.

Thats what would have been interesting to see, the videos the case was based on.
