It's a super complicated history.

Kraftwerk started being called "Techno-pop" around 1978 by a Japanese critic, and the term caught on in Europe. "Techno" alone was a term being thrown around in 1982, perhaps earlier, by German press (and even Billboard seems to have used it) to talk about electronic music in general, from Kraftwerk to New Order to Front-242.

However: those European acts that were called "Techno" in the early 80s are now retroactively called "Electro" or "Synth Pop".

Interestingly, the early-80s Bellevue Three music, by the way, is much closer to the "Electro" camp, as the popular tunes often lacks the four-to-the-floor associated with today's techno (which the article itself talks about), and feature a breakbeat instead (check out Afrikaa Bambaata for comparison).

The four-on-the-floor itself was already a feature on electronic club music like Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk and I Feel Love by Donna Summer, both 1977. Italo Disco (early 80s) also mainly featured that drum beat.

The term "Detroit Techno" and the style itself, featuring the four-on-the-floor, only appeared in the late 1980s. Some people say 1987/1988.

And to make matters more complicated: by the time Detroit Techno was flourishing, there was already some music from the Frankfurt Tape Scene that was starting to sound like modern Techno (EDIT: some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT_K28uMxNY). It wasn't something that happened overnight, in Europe it mostly evolved from Acid House (which also used the four-to-the-floor as a rule), while in Detroit it evolved from Electro.

To me, the confusion happens because of some disagreements about terminology. First, groups that Europeans called "Techno" are now being called "Synth Pop" or "Electro" because they sound different from modern dancefloor Techno, or because they made more diverse music (Bigod 20 and Nitzer Ebb are called EBM). Second, the misconception that early-80s Detroit music was "the real Techno", when in reality it wasn't exactly modern techno, it was closer to Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaata.

In reality there was a lot of music being called Techno and a very rich heritage, but some people want to say theirs was "the real first", while in reality it's not that simple.

Haha. Yes.

This article is very strange. It's written under the pretense that these musicians aren't recognized for their contributions to the music that came after the German origins of techno when they absolutely are; you would struggle to find _anybody_ who listens to house music beyond top 40 radio hits disputing the contributions of black, female, queer, etc. artists. Many (me included) would argue that those demographics did most of the legwork developing modern EDM (that did/will have any commercial success, at least) and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The people this article claimed were snubbed had this to say:

>According to Banks, Kraftwerk was in the audience that night at Tresor. He spotted the band members and rushed to tell Jeff Mills, who didn’t believe him until he saw Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in the back of the room. Banks said that it was like seeing living legends, the guys who provided the blueprints for their own souped-up sound. He said that Hütter and Schneider were just grateful to be recognized by the next generation of techno whiz kids. “We talked for a second in that narrow, dingy stairwell going to the surface,” Banks said, before switching to a comically bad German accent. “ ‘Thank you for remembering us,’ they said.”
> The fact is anyone can be fired from any job they refuse to do.

Oh c'mon, that's not what a strike for betting working conditions is and you know it.
That’s not the rule. HN Titles rules aren’t long but they have many exceptions to that general principle.

The relevant bit is here: “Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.”

Could it not also be the problematic traffic getting routed to a Cloudfront node that's overloaded or otherwise misbehaving?

Years ago, I had to troubleshoot a very mysterious issue where sometimes a huge percentage of the PCs in the company I worked for would have trouble loading the company's e-commerce site.

Everyone was going through the same array of 2-3 proxy servers, and the e-commerce site had Akamai caching in front of it. The proxy servers would hold onto a DNS lookup result or a TCP connection for longer than they were supposed to, and so they'd continue routing traffic to the old IP address even after Akamai had rotated a node out of service.

Serious question: for what? Basic algebra, yes. And basic geometry is handy in many jobs as well. But beyond that?
Slots at the busiest airports are subject to a "use it or lose it" rule. Historic slot allocations are also part of what decides future slot allocations.

The FAA is saying that they're waiving the "use it or lose it" rule for this time/airports.

If airliners feel that can consolidate enough of their passengers into larger flights without losing out on future slot allocation rounds, then this is an overall win for them (especially if they can couch the move in terms of safety and cooperation with the FAA).

In a sense, part of the value of holding a slot is just denying it to your competitors (in addition to directly making revenue off of it). This waiver allows airliners to gain this portion of the value of the slots, without partaking in the risk of actually trying to generate revenue off it is (which is why exactly the use or lose it rule is usually in effect).
The question is then, "Can these corruption/mismanagement prone entities be reformed to reduce the risk?"

I don't think even a 10,000 person strong web of nuclear anti-corruption and safety organisations would be 1% as expensive as the additional costs due to buying more gas from Russia, let alone the climate impact costs.

The problem is that these bodies are set up to have a commercial incentive to minimise costs and low probability of detecting poor procedure. I'm not sure if German culture can break the natural hierarchical tendencies (don't contradict superiors, don't report bad news), but probably better chance than in the US (where you'll lose your job and health insurance, and get blacklisted and possibly sued and criminally convicted, if you become a whistle blower).

Probably because every powerful economy of the past 6 centuries got there due to strong trade, which the US has gone out of its way to prevent Cuba from doing.

I imagine 99% of the scientists moving to China were originally from China, and decided to return rather than stay in the US.

You assume the dark patterns and the dark pattern blockers are written by the same people. I, for one, have probably written shitty code and badly designed UI in the past, but I've always refused to become a sleazy salesman, even back when I was doing customer support. I use element blocking all the time but I'm not going to put effort into these shitty websites and I doubt most devs will either. I'm also not installing blocking extensions for every website I visit.

Luckily, even non-technical people are downloading browsers with adblockers that come prepopulated with all kinds of filters, not just basic ads anymore. Opera has run a surprisingly effective ad campaign, for example. All it takes is for one of these browsers to take a more aggressive stance against these dark patterns. Brave already comes with a whole bunch of "annoyance" filters ready to be enabled.

I've told "normal" people about how bad Booking.com is, showed them how they manipulated you, but those people either didn't see the problem ("everyone is trying to manipulate you so what") or don't want to find another website. As long as the government won't step in, and consumers won't stop falling for these tricks, nothing will change. The technical problem is solved, but greedy developers and developers without morals (or the freedom to refuse) need to be fought by other means.

The problem is, nobody cares except for a bunch of ad blocking nerds.
I don't know what they actually do, but the calculus needed in first year physics is simple enough (both in what things from calculus you need and in what functions you have to do those things on) that's it is reasonable to teach it on the fly as part of physics class.

Huh, I did not know that about TS, I thought they were always using the nodes. I was leaning on the former point (i.e., private applications rather than public internet), I know OpenZiti fabric does optimisation across available nodes by doing 'smart routing'. Interesting idea with the exit node and integrated BGP, not a use case ziti is trying to solve today but its a neat idea that is theoretically possible.
In short, yes. It's an evidence-based qualification. FAA takes this stuff seriously.

> expose the full functionality of PDF directly

Is the objective to provide a PDF Swiss Army Knife? This requirement (if taken literally) precludes the API designer from enforcing much of a coherent mental model.

In terms of cheating, is one pattern format superior to the others? Could you pick one, only allow drawing commands for that one kind of pattern, then have the only method of rendering to the page take one or more of those patterns?

My ignorance of the PDF format is vast, and the question may be obviously absurd to anyone with the least bit of experience.

As an aside, this reminds me of the quagmire I have unsuccessfully wrestled with the various times I've tried to wrap my head around OpenGL
But if they made it clear at the time of ordering that they didn’t accept cash, then a customer who orders knowing that’s the only payment medium they have would presumably be the one breaching the contract when they weren’t able to pay? I guess the remedy to that would be to create a debt, but I’d also presume that could also include any other damages incurred by the coffee vendor for facilitating the cash payment.
You could say that - in my circles there's quite a few oldtimer lecturers and professors who decided to retire instead of exposing themselves to the pestilence and risk death, the older you are the more likely that you won't survive.

If mitigation methods hadn't totally gone out of the window they'd have stayed on.
If we go by this, then part of Detroit Techno is also out. Or at least Juan Atkins, one of the Belleville three:

I can, fortunately not until first semester in a state university.

I remember asking one of my teachers for a reference when I was transferring and she replied that if I hadn't been in her class she would have thought herself an utter failure because of how little attention the other students paid. Without doing much work I regularly set the curve. I'm not brilliant, but I did study some.
Just to give you additional data point with cell phone prices.

I’m French but I’m living in the Us since a decade or so.

Cell phone prices are considerably cheaper in France ( €30 gets you unlimited everything on mobile and €80 is a combo for fiber + mobile plan )

But yet, that a heavily regulated market. If I’m correct there is 5 licences. All other companies have to buy and resell bandwidth thought those 5 licence. They tend to be French company.

Here I pay close to $200 total for the same service ( actually lesser service, I can’t have fiber where I live )

Maybe those expensive price are not due to that regulation? ( or maybe it is. I don’t know, but I wanted to give you a counter example )
So not just traffic shaping but also pretty a heavy moderation of discussion on that topic? Interested to see what justification AT&T comes up with for suppressing these posts on their forum and marking them as 'private' without any explanation to the original poster at least.
I've never had an IQ test administered. Wish it was done more though – although I'm not sure it would legal here in the UK. I've never heard of anyone else having one done either.

I find most of the objections to IQ testing difficult to understand. IQ is statistically correlated to a lot of things you'd want to hire for. It's true that some groups do worse on intelligence tests so I suppose it would "discriminate" against them, but those groups also tend to do worse on examinations generally.

To object to IQ tests you basically need to object to all forms of education which are graded by formalised testing. If IQ tests discriminate against certain groups then education probably does so to an even greater extent since educational achievement is often linked to one's IQ + socioeconomic status.

The truth is you're always going to be discriminating against candidates during the hiring process since that's the entire point of it. Given this you might as well do it in the fairest way possible and IQ testing is probably one of the fairer ways all things considered.

That said, I'm biased here because I come from a bad background and went to bad schools, therefore did bad academically despite having a decently high IQ. It's less of a problem these days, but early on in my life / career it was annoying having to try to prove to people that I'm capable of things despite doing poorly academically as a product of my background.

I would acknowledge there are limitations to IQ testing though since IQ tests are simply tests of general intelligence. It's possible to have a high IQ but struggle socially or with specific skills. So if you're hiring for a role which requires good social skills a general IQ test might not be the best filter. Most jobs (such as software engineering) also require a decent amount of domain knowledge, in which case a candidates knowledge and experience should trump their IQ.

That's the first thing that my daughter was taught at RSM when she went in for 5th grade math - Algebra. They also start you with geometry in the 6th grade. I think they start Algebra a lot younger actually - maybe 2nd or 3rd grade. When I spoke to the principal of the my local RSM she said the earlier you start the better it is.

Edit:- They get homework they need to turn in. Early on I had to spend sometime with my daughter to help her cope. But once she had her concepts down its been pretty smooth sailing.
I wonder, have they considered recruiting from the Vatsim online community? Not sure what side effects this might have of course, but you would think that that is already something of a helpful screening mechanism for people who are both interested and have shown some ability to do the job.

I considered switching APNs, but didn't want to run afoul of any AT&T rules.

I went ahead and gave it a try anyway, switching from `broadband` to `NXTGENPHONE`. I wasn't able to authenticate with `NXTGENPHONE`, so I switched it back to `broadband`.

After re-authenticating, I'm no longer being throttled. I'm both happy and deeply dissatisfied with this outcome because I think now I'm less likely to get to the bottom of it.

I'll add this to my updates and keep monitoring the situation.

Thanks, I think!
> So what is the common thread? Free markets.

Not when it comes to Japan.

During the post-war boom era the majority of its largest businesses were conglomerates with interlocking ownership structures that prevented accountability to shareholders. In addition to that a large amount of corporate investment was state-directed by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

It was an effective system (at least for a time) but not one that can be accurately described as driven by free markets.

For those asking about why max age of entry. ATC has mandatory separation age of 56. In order to qualify for full pension, you have to join before 30.

* You are age 50 with 20 years of service

* You are any age with 25 years of service

Many other jobs have mandatory separation age, such as firefighters and law enforcement.

FBI for example has max age of 36 unless you have other experience.

I work some nights but that's usually because I take time off during the middle of the day to exercise. When I was working a job where I felt under pressure to work nights and weekends I did so. I also left that job after less then a year because I felt the workload and expectations were unrealistic.
The Australian Banking sector went with a thing badged dually as both "OSKO" and "PayID" which recognises phone numbers and email addresses for person-to-person and was sold as lightweight person-to-person, probably the space Venmo is in.

Out of the blue I now see the same payment vehicle when I ostensibly use another pre-existing mechanism we have here called BPay: you identify you want to use some prior clearing framework with ID "a" and it internally has mapped it to ID "b" in the other (presumably cheaper) payment framework.

Sold as p2p and being used for bill paying to institutions. But like your one, not card level: account level, app driven, I think at this point given I'd say "meh" because its my money, no matter which card or account its from.

That confused me at first too.You aren’t diffusing the 8k image.

You are upsampling, then inpainting sections that need it. So if you took your 8K and inpainted a section with 1024x1024 that works well with normal ram usages. In Auto1111, you need to select “inpainted masked area” to do that.
It was a watershed moment in labor relations, and is well within living memory. Combined with the fact that ATC requires specialized training, and it would be surprising for it to not affect peoples’ career choices.

Are the big projects using Next because it's useful or because it's trendy? (Maybe that's the wrong word, it's "trendy" with some staying power, like Apple.) Sometimes, particularly when caught in a difficult upgrade cycle, Next is more trouble than it's worth. I'm don't know if that's the case now.

It is a marketable skill, that's for sure. I just don't know if you should choose a framework just because it's popular.
