> really knows what it originally sounded like

Is matching the original recorded sound really the purpose of a good hifi system ? From what I understand, studio monitors as used in production / mastering have this goal (to sound "neutral").

Hifi speakers are supposed to add their own character to the recorded sound, no?

When talking about acoustic instruments, doesn't each one sound different? Like you could buy two violins from the same manufacturer and they wouldn't have the same exact sound, esp as the years go by. Same goes for analog synths & drum machines, and that's the good thing about them, the fact that they develop their own character.
There are a lot of threads here arguing whether employees should expect help taking next steps after a layoff.

Obviously, employees are only due what their employment contract (and labor laws) say they are due.

But that is beside the point. Helping post-layoff employees build trust, loyalty, commitment in both directions.

Knowledge workers are not fungible cogs. Their morale and goodwill result in better performance. And a more attractive workplace for prospective hires.
> I don't believe it can be done at scale

Sustainable animal husbandry represents less than 5% of the total.

> but it can be done

We may also find farms where there are no animal inputs used. It can be done.

> it should be reflected in its cost - people shouldn't be eating meat 3x times a day

Removing all subsidies for dairy, meat & fishing would help a lot.

>> The only sane and ethical response to this devastation is to completely reject the economic exploitation of animals - to adopt a fully vegan philosophy

> I think you might be getting too much of that "greenwashed" propaganda yourself

If you don't see the logic in it, then you just haven't found the power to really acknowledge all the problems associated with it.

Edge computing isn't a universal fix. At the moment I'm on a corp network that routes traffic through a proxy a couple states away (security reasons), I rarely see <200ms latency and occasionally see >500ms latency. The counter and slider example don't feel right at that latency.

Also, I turned off WiFi and then clicked the counter a couple times. Obviously the clicks didn't render. When I turned it on, then the counter updated one at a time at what felt like 300ms intervals. I often use the web from the train as I commute and data service can be spotty. I expect I'd see input latency in the minutes if I tried.

I think this is only viable if you're certain all your users have ping <100ms, and are on stable connections.

If you have to use this model, try batching user events (10 clicks => increment by 10) and cancelling old events (slider events at 5, 10, 20; only send slider=20 event).
> The problem (and opportunity for US investors) is Canada has almost no VC, and the few they have are extremely risk averse.

Based on all the stories we've heard over the past week from VCs and entrepreneurs about how SVB was the only bank willing to open accounts and extend credit to startups, I think many people underestimated that bank's importance in the Bay area economy. (I've also been startled by just how important SVB's UK, Canada, and even China branches seem to have been for their startups.)

While SVB wasn't present in most other areas of the US, there is an extensive network of regional banks (of which SVB was one), so the odds that one is going to offer a no-revenue tech startup in Nashville or Phoenix or Worcester the financial help it needs to get started aren't bad. Now compare that to Canada, which has the Big Five national banks, tiny credit unions, and almost nothing else; apparently this makes borrowing money much, much more expensive than in the US. I hear that Australia is the same way.
>Oh right, it's unethical and immoral do to that to other humans (though how much better are we for doing that to animals?).

This seems like a good juncture to point out that not everyone does do that to animals, and if you truly believe it's unethical and immoral, you can and should join their ranks, and attempt to convince others to as well.
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but having some goals is better than having none. If implementing CI/CD is important for your team, then make it a priority. Your role is to determine the direction, allocate resources, oversee the entire process, and evaluate the results.

However, it's important to discuss and collaborate on the decision-making, planning, and execution process during team meetings. Avoid making unilateral decisions and imposing workloads on others.

Initiate the discussion by acknowledging a common issue that affects workflow and asking for input from the team on how to address it and what improvements would be beneficial. Encourage the team to contribute to finding a solution.

One of these is more universally repulsive than the other. Were it illegal, I'm not sure I could be bothered to blow a whistle on a company paying a cyberransom. That's obviously different for murder.
Well, you're free to run it the way you want, ultimately, whether you curl or you download any other way, you're still running something from the Internet.

They are as non-enforceable as property deeds. (i.e. property deed enforce-ability relies on the government too)

They absolutely can. If someone modifies the NFT on the blockchain you will see exactly when and by whom it was modified. This could be provided as evidence in court.
I don't know about other cities, but in Washington, DC, the pandemic lockdown essentially destroyed the food truck business. A few operate along the edges of the National Mall, where the customers must be tourists. But McPherson Square, Farragut Square, and L St. NW used to have a lot of food trucks and have none now.

So maybe find a pretty outdoor area where there are lots of tourists.

> Better air quality is achieved through a thermostat with PM2.5 and CO2 sensors, as well as an air quality module on the air handler that controls HEPA filtration, fresh air intake and modification of the home’s humidity

This is very nice, but in the grand scheme of things nobody cares about these. They just want a warm house in winter and a cool one in summer.
If air quality/filtering were a free/cheap addon that'd be great, but not if it means the unit costs significantly more.

OTOH, that gives you a very nice market segmentation mechanic. Provide a lower-cost unit without things like CO2 sensors and HEPA filters, and charge a fat margin to upgrade to the fancy one for those richer people who have the luxury of such things.
While Kazakhstan is not fully supporting Russia, turning away from it seems like an economic suicide.

How so?

60% of the Kazahk economy is from oil and gas.† It's not like it's exporting that stuff to Russia.

The privacy boundary applies in both cases by the way. Despite labelling your AmericanCity enum as #[non_exhaustive] since it only has Houston and Chicago in it so far, you are allowed in your own code inside the boundary to write a match which handles only Houston and Chicago. And that's actually probably a good idea, because when you add SanFrancisco to the enum, the compiler will point out anywhere your match clauses don't handle it, whereas if you had a default case (as your 3rd parties will) you'd drop into the default.
So in essence, the law system uses different rules for language and applies it to everyone, but almost everyone uses language in a people way, not in a legal way. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
> never talk to a politician without remembering that if they don't get a cut

Most voters don't care about digital security. That means most politicians, reasonably, don't care either. Most voters do care about their economies. So linking what you're talking about to talking points the political can use is helpful. Not because they're going to get a cut.
They had an event a few years back (maybe a bit more than a few, 2012) at the NRM where all six surviving A4's were reunited for the 75th anniversary of the Mallard's record speed run, and the had the Bittern [1] doing some high speed runs. ("High Speed" in this case being about 92-93 mph).

Good question. I am not experienced with this but my guess:

The core product. What is the product/service you are selling? For example, you might use an AI API to improve features but they are part of the sum of the whole product.
I'm having trouble making sense of this. It sounds like you want to say you won't take the bus for a journey under 200 metres - which is fine. But the meaning of your sentence is something like: if you want to travel 2 km and the bus stops every 200 metres means you won't take the bus because it would cost too much? How come? And how did you arrive at that 200 metre threshold?

edit: I completely failed to appreciate the distance - after doing a bit of measuring on Google Maps 200m is actually a really reasonable cutoff point, in my city at least.
at least not intentionally

People do all sorts of things with files unintentionally because it’s easy in a file explorer to do so. I do that too once a month and only my programmer’s perception saves the day.

OneDrive cannot be completely uninstalled, but there’s a way to disable it with a group policy, afair. Citing some site:

gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive > Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage = Enabled

> companies should suffer massive fines / damages / criminal charges when they leak the personal data of millions of customers

This is zealous. If consumers don't care, and nobody can show tangible damages, "massive fines" and "criminal charges" are closer to moral outrage than prudent lawmaking.
That makes all of them vested in the outcome that that company was actually good in its security of sensitive information. If they are important to anyone actually involved in the company, the company will take care of things properly.

Huh? It says right there on the page you linked: "A startup money market account with a competitive APY of 4.50%". Yes, that is on the marketing page for their business checking account, but it's not the checking account that has the 4.5% interest rate.

The question isn't about modifying the NFT is it. Go and re-read the cases I provided.

If you remove pension and healthcare alone that's probably not too far from 30% in most EU country (+ the matching from your employer), you also lose paid vacation, parental leave, unemployment benefits, &c. I'm not even sure getting twice the hourly rate would make up for it, at least not for the average Joe.

Now it's all nice and fun when you're an IT contractor charging 60$+ per hour, when you're a uber driver making on average 18$ an hour (according to google) it's not that bright, and you still have to maintain your car, pay for gas, &c.

> how does the actual efficiency of delivering these services net out

If you're at the bottom, as uber contractors are, you'll have a better time in Europe, if you're in the top tier and can afford private health insurance, private unemployment benefits, &c. you probably have better services in the US, at a cost

I lived in both systems and I'd say the EU one brings an overall peace of mind you can't replicate in the US unless you're quite rich
It also means no other activities are allowed on it
> In whichever way campaigning influenced the outcome, the vote was the vote and the vote followed the laws of California and the United States.

While that might be technically true in the absolutist way, bad things are still bad, even if it followed all the technicalities.

If we play "the vote was the vote and the vote followed the laws" and it ends up making it mandatory for everyone to cut off their thumbs, do you really think the population would just go "oh well" and grab some pruners?
"Genuine desire to do good" doesn't make money and leads to less shareholder value. If "desire to do good" exists in a company, it is necessarily eliminated when the company either gets more efficient or fails.

In order to even allow a company to "try to do good", the only possible measures are to change incentives and the environment in which it operates. Regulation and customer choice can change incentives. The environment (such as how people in the job market value money compared to working environment, "doing good", etc.) evolves naturally and is hard to change with purpose (my definition of environment in this context).

I tend to view things like having such company roles a bit more positive. Yes, in most companies such a role cannot achieve almost anything and is created mainly for PR purposes. However, the people filling that role often really care about making a positive impact. The mere fact that having such a role does serve a PR purpose signals slowly moving in that direction. One just shouldn't expect all the people who didn't care before to have a sudden epiphany and become Mother Theresa.

Change is possible and it often happens quickly, ever more quickly these days than in history. Imagine how abolition of slavery in the US south must have felt like. Moving towards "doing good" is hard, painful and prone to fail. I think incentivizing the creation of these PR roles is a lot better than doing nothing. Pretending to care and not caring is hypocritical but it actually still leads to better outcomes than everyone proudly not caring and constructing an ideology about why they shouldn't.

>You might not want to complain about customizability in gnome if you have ever used Windows before

Funny that you mention this, but as a long time Windows and Linux user, I find Windows far more configurable (for what I need) out of the box than what vanilla Gnome offers, especially via what the GUI offers in the settings menu. I'm more of an KDE/XFCE man myself due to the available configuration options out of the box and no need for hacky extensions.

And if more configurations are needed on Windows, there's always a free easy to use GUI app (like the one featured in this topic) that can be downloaded and it's nearly guaranteed to work despite its age, because unlike Gnome/Linux, Microsoft don't change the APIs/ABIs every six months and break existing apps/extensions. And that's without going into the "this works on X11 but not on Wayland" rabbithole.

So you see my good sir, having experienced both sides, I will complain as I see fit about the things that annoy me.

But thank you for your suggestion, I'll give it a try.

No? How do you identify a specific browser? What's in these values?

var id = document.currentScript.getAttribute("data-id");
new URLSearchParams({
id: id,

You send it to the server (so I assume it can be used to identify a specific device) and call it an id in the code. Can't wait to see how you are going to try to wrap it to tell me it's technically not an id but...
Still very much in-flight, but progressing pretty quickly. Just tonight I decided I wanted to try using OCR to extract the text of the lyrics out of the frames of the video so that I can match up the clips with the lines eventually, and so far I've been through a series of iterations of different techniques with increasing accuracy. All of this has just been driven by asking ChatGPT and working through its suggestions, asking probing questions, and even using it to debug. It's just mind blowing. This is a project I wanted to years and years ago and just didn't know where to start, or the effort simply would have been more than I was willing to put in, but I actually think I'm going to succeed at it and I don't think it'll take me too long. It's making programming fun again.
The article was published in 1988, before Zenith decided to sell the PC business (a very successful unit, as the article indicates), rather than exit the TV business.
None whatsoever. In fact that's a great analogy. Modern tractors are incredibly unfriendly to consumers - they're closed source, not open to repairs, expensive, and massively over-engineered. They offer some superficial UX improvements but nothing you can't live without. John Deere's shenanigans get posted to HN regularly. As a company they're one of the reasons the US government is considering laws to protect consumers access to things they've bought. I don't think anyone would find it controversial that someone might want a simpler, easier, repairable, accessible tractor in the light of that.

A little nostalgia for a time when things were actually better for the end user is exactly where my post is coming from. Going back to analysing traffic using server logs without stuffing more JS into every website seems reasonable to me.
Is it extra layers and models? They already have some kind of "face fixup" don't they?
Interesting reading through the comments here, everyone talking like it’s dead.

It always astonishes me seeing how ingrained this individualistic capitalistic mindset is on so many. People have been brainwashed.

These are people. This could be you, or your friend, espouse, mother, sister... And just because you can bounce back, it doesn't mean this is okay.

Even if they have money saved and can use that to find a (hopefully) better next job, that's not easy or guaranteed.

It seems that this "criticism" is more like jealousy than anything else. If they were not earning a bit more than others then we can feel bad for them. Otherwise let's pretend it's fine and yell "screw them".

Meanwhile the rich fucks are still getting richer even with the "risk" they take. Not sure how that can even count as risk, given these VCs are all multi-millionaires that can afford to fail multiple times over in the first place.

But it's somehow easier to hate the person that makes a few more bucks than you, than it is to hate the money hoarders that control the lives of so many of us.

If the bus stops every 200 meters, it has a chance of stopping 10 times, which takes a lot of time. If the weather isn't prohibitively horrible, I have to wait for the bus to arrive and if there's traffic, chances are I'll be able to reach my destination on foot faster than by bus.

It's fine by me, but it seems that I'm just not the target audience for busses.
Happens to me once in a while on the Macbook. It doesn't happen as often as it used to with Linux laptops a decade ago, but it still happens every few weeks.

I'm still not sure if I prefer large touchpads or smaller ones because of this. You run out of space more easily with a smaller one, but there's fewer accidents. (And more places to rest your thumbs.)
Why don't you just transpile the frontend Python code to JS at build time and just have normal HMTL/JS/CSS in the final deployed web app with a Python backend?

You've mentioned no-code tools. For a client, I had to work with the no-code tool Bubble a lot. They do something similar, where the front-end is not built statically but dynamically and uses WebSockets to communicate with the back-end. I don't think this is a good idea (and that's why Bubble is also trying to switch to static pages now, but you can imagine what it takes to do that once you reach a certain size).
Ask HN: What is the name of the company that does self-host as a service?
