a big part of my jazz education was transcribing solos and then comparing them to other students transcriptions of the same piece with an instructor. it's an interesting process because there is almost always variation in the way players notate sections when the time or the harmony gets tricky.

my observation is that transcriptions of recorded music are a lot like text that tries to convey the sound of the spoken word, for example when an author intentionally spells (misspells) words phonetically to capture a speaker's accent or manner of speaking. It's an approximation that tries to split the difference between accuracy and scrutability; you want to try to capture the essence of the sound but if nobody can make sense of the words on the page then it doesn't work. So in the case of Master of Puppets, you have a sound on the record which doesn't really correspond to anything, Metallica weren't writing scores, and so if you create a transcription you have to use context and your judgement with the notation. But really the main goal is not to produce notation which is scrupulous in its accuracy but rather to have something that won't be a pain in the ass for sight readers, and if you've ever worked with something like The Real Book, its very subjective and it takes a lot of experience to know what makes some notation better than others.
I'm confused why your analogy is a paradox. "Big" and "small" are always in reference to something else. In the first instance where you are establishing that the "thing" is big, you are referencing something unstated (perhaps the size of the observer). In the second instance, you are referencing the old size of the "thing" when you are establishing that it is smaller. Because the reference has changed, there is no paradox to it being both big and smaller at the same time.

Your immediate go to is to blame this hypothetical woman for what she is wearing.

That strikes me as troubling.
There are no natural rights absent power to enforce them.

One could say there are natural desires, or natural ethics/morals, but these have no weight without a granting and enforcing entity.

E.g. "my personal right to not pay taxes"

At its heart, the Constitution and Bill of Rights are a formal trade between the people and the proposed government, each of whom start with some power.

People: "We will give you legitimacy and support, if you give us these rights."

Government: "We agree to give you those rights, in return for your legitimacy and support."

The people and the government can believe they have other rights (e.g. a right to privacy), but until they're codified and agreed to by the government they don't exist.

Hence why it usually takes revolution, civil disobedience, or riots to force a government to grant (natural) rights it doesn't want to.
This raises some pretty interesting thoughts to the table that I think many people don't see:

Yes, 95% of the US population don't have more than $250,000. Let's say that that 95% has on average something like $5,000 in saving/actives. The problem is not that the FDIC will not "honor" those millions of $5,000 checks. The problem is that most of those "actives" are actually managed by other entities, who "bulk load" the money into bank accounts. Adding those up will make more than $250,000 pretty quickly. So the question still remains: If a bank goes under, and say, a hedge-fund with retirement money is saving a good chunk of its customer funds in said bank under a consolidated account with more than $250,000. Will the FDIC cover the excess to make the hedge-fund whole?

It's like the farce that a lot of those Crypto centralized companies put in their websites: "We are FDIC insured" ... well yeah, their accounts might be FDIC insured, but it is only THEIR first $250,000 that is insured, not the first $250,000 of each of their customers.

Those are still quite livable wages, I'm not seeing tremendous wealth but I'm not seeing any exploitation either. I imagine in fifty years some people will be getting paid minimum wage accomplishing basically the same output that a masters degree + 250k+ salary is pulling in now, it all depends on the technology in the tools.

“We can improve email validation on the client by shipping a TLD list with the other logic …”

To what end? How does the additional complexity help the user? They can fat-finger any part of their email address and we can’t validate whether the user name should contain a g or h. Who’s going to maintain the list? So rather that listen to reason little ol’ me, we had to set up a meeting involving The Architect …

He made the call that the complexity wasn’t worth the effort, that the UX wouldn’t be improved, and we shouldn’t add TLD validation in the client. That’s when they finally dropped the idea.
This is a strawman. He's advocating that things shouldn't become worse than they are, you are ignoring that point and instead just talking about how bad things are now (without any regard to how worse this would make it).
The paint shop at a modern car assembly plant can be 50% of the square footage under the roof, and cost 50% of the outlay, so half a billion for a new one at least.

The change from VOC-borne to water-based paints was also a big deal for the environment. The lacquers did a good job, but imagine living in a neighborhood where several tons of toluene or acetone was being evaporated into your air every hour. In places like LA, this process was a huge contributor to smog in the 1960s/70s.

It doesn’t help that we wasted a decade on social and crypto, which have by and large both ended up as duds, if not harmful (see CO2 emissions from Ethereum which ended up going proof of stake anyway).

Well, that's because Bitcoin is not a currency, by many reasonable definitions.

> Compliance can be easy if you're designing a form of Faraday cage. Just make sure the car captures enough of the noise within its frame and you've got a pretty good start. Your car will comply with most (far from all) EM regulations as long as it doesn't disturb things outside the car.

This complies with existing regulations. The proposed regulations state the AM radio needs to work from within the car. So this wouldn't be sufficient according to the proposed rules.

> It's hardly an impossible feat, but car manufacturers will save every penny they can.

Good? I don't want to pay a tax on every new car purchase in order to subsidize owners of AM spectrum and their rapidly dwindling customer base.
The radio bands are small. Each AM HD station uses 30 kHz which gives 40-60 kbit. That isn't enough for full fidelity music. And that is using more than one frequency since analog AM is 10kHz stations.

AM band uses a large frequency range, 530-1700 kHz, but the total bandwidth is small, slightly more than 1MHz.

Telephone is bad compared to AM and really bad compared to FM or CDs. Human voice fits in much smaller bandwidth than music.

I clearly read you comments. I've pointed to a lot of data that effects most people and I acknowledged that things aren't uniformly better, but are on average.

However, this assertion is the dumbest shit I've ever read.

Like I said - perhaps we can practice reading this time - it's not worse, it's just better by a much smaller amount than the typical SV techbro probably imagines.

I can't imagine thinking that homelessness in the US vs low income work also in the US aren't wolds apart in life quality. You can look at any metric of disease, rates of violent crime victimization, life expectancy, and on and on and see that just being homeless makes you life demonstrably far worse than any alternative. Your position is totally divorced from data and clearly from any person insight.

I agree. The key thing is this: people vary drastically.

“It simplifies the process for builders to get a permit to remove trees and requires a fee that would go toward a conservation fund. ”

One problem has been that the penalty fee for ignoring the process was (at least historically) lower than the permit. I read multiple articles about developers ignoring permitting and paying the penalty when/if caught. My favorite was one where they claimed they “didn’t know” it was required, but were caught while digging a ditch to hide the evidence.

I don’t know enough about the new legislation to know if that imbalance would still remain.
That made me laugh. Ever seen an elephant trying to climb out of a ditch.

But they're not "worse than useless", that article was wrong. PGP/GPG are without doubt problematic, they have weak points (like use of SHA-1, some keys that could not be located, and terrible UI) but they are not worse than having no traceability of the package at all between the author and PyPI.
It's a bad take to factor in "content" into your opinion on the "medium". Talk radio has been moving to FM for some time, and there is plenty of AM/FM simulcast stations as well as additional programming made available via HD Radio.
Suppose for a moment that AM was primarily driven by NPR type programming, would you still feel the same way?
Depends on a lot of factors, but most databases have some overhead per call, especially if it happens over a network. If you can write some procedural code that runs on the database and eliminate calls and network traffic that may be a win. Then there is the SQL overhead of parsing and compiling queries, various forms of stored procedures can mitigate that by having a function that is compiled once, and then called with different input data.

How this all works varies a lot between databases, so what works in one may not be optimal in another.

>What does Opportunity have to do with science?

Most science requires specialized tools and materials that cannot be obtained outside of an institutional environment. Tearing down the institutions means ceasing basically all non-profit generating "big science" efforts. That robs future scientists of working on the cutting edge.

A garage lab is fun idea, but the reality is infeasible in most circumstances. Even if possible, it will be slap-shod and a gigantic money pit that no granting agency will give a dime to.

>My fear is that we've crossed the event horizon

Hyperbole. Science existed before institutions and will exist after if it all should come tumbling down. There are more scientists than there has ever been, and as a result a lot of "boring" but necessary science is happening, but that doesn't mean there aren't rebels and outlaws in that same system asking interesting questions and overturning ideas.

> Well, the whole point of innovation is to question that "more-or-less works". Without that, we would still be hunter gatherers

Do you really believe that it was one person or group of people that said 'hunting and gathering sucks, let's plant seeds and make forges and smelt iron'?

Or was it 'hey, I dropped some seeds and now they are growing, lets put some in dirt and see what happens', i++, goto 1?

To put it another way, how many times has 'let's scrap this working system that has some flaws and start over using an ideology as a back-end' worked out?
From what I can tell the architecture is more important anyway and having smaller but more parameters gives the model more chances to figure out the optimal architecture on its own.
Their reasoning is pretty solid. Ubuntu is a terrible upstream for a distribution; it relies on Snap, which is [partially] proprietary. So if a distro is a derivate of Ubuntu, it can't have its own Snap repository, so it either uses the upstream repositories with no changes, or has to de-snap. If they're going to de-snap Ubuntu, you might just use Debian as a base.

I wonder if these guys are considering joining forces with the Mint guys, since many of their efforts seem to be in the same direction. I definitely hope this brings some extra hands into Debian, which seems to be much in need of it these recent times.
On the bright side, maybe these gambling things will 'get old'.

I know as an adult, I never got sucked into farmvile, modern call of duty/FPS, or a serious MMO. I played these as a child/teen, I already knew how they worked, nothing interesting. Now the only things that get me going are novel games like Minecraft/Papers Please/etc...

I really hate gambling and I'd love for adults to be bored of it. However I think I know better. Gambling/addictive exploitation might be bad enough to call upon government, however I doubt they will be competent enough to actually remove it.

Batteries with higher energy densities are already going into production, and things like new anode materials, semi-solid state and solid state batteries are starting to come online and be productionized.

The desperation to make WebAssembly a thing is reaching epic proportions. It was always a cutesy little thing that no one took super seriously. A cool experiment that had little real-world application. But non-technical investors poured millions into WebAssembly startups, so we're doomed to keep seeing these posts pop up until all that money dries up. And, trust me, will it ever dry up.

Other than a few extremely niche situations (maybe browser-based gaming?) does anyone ever really think to themselves "wow I should really use WebAssembly here?" Even the post itself doesn't talk about any real solutions, just about what might be possible:

I have been wrestling with a terrifying idea lately:

The Internet, in its current form, is not a force for good. And the way it is going, it will be a net negative for humanity as a whole.

The Internet itself is just bits pushed between computers, but the things we have built on it are dystopian, are a huge cause of the current loneliness epidemic (epidemics have an end date, this is a trend), and it's a way to control the masses.

The Internet, in a vacuum, could elevate humanity. But whatever we have now, it exploits our shortcomings for the profit of the few, and we are simply not made to have most of our social interactions behind a screen that's always within our cone of vision.

It's been hard to live with this, as a software engineer. A veritable crisis of faith for me.

Advertising is so completely intertwined with everyday life, it’s impossible to block them. The worst kind of ads, IMO, are the non-intrusive, organic looking articles / news stories placed there by PR. The ultimate brainwash. Most of HN and Reddit content is advertisement whether you realize or not. Front page CNN, outside of weather events and sports, it’s closing in on 100%.
I'm about to reach this peak of enlightenment. I'm almost there. And yes, many family friends (non-technical and even a tad technical ones) are super happy with me setting up some form of ad-blocking, at least in their browsers. The internet has become a scary place.

HN users are mostly (but certainly not entirely) from a very specific and narrow demographic. It's true that the tech world is much broader and more varied than is reflected here.

This isn't a criticism of HN. Most fora have users from very specific and narrow demographics. Just different ones.

I guess whatever works, works - but I wonder how many union members actually support that and how many just go along because of the benefits and because there's no choice. I understand the original idea of unions, as means for improving worker's conditions, but this is not that. That's just generic leftist activism masquerading as worker's movement, and prioritizing things that have little to do with workers' benefit. Maybe that's why the unions are in decline now.

That's really funny, my story is almost exactly the same. I was working an hourly job out of high school and my roommate was a web developer who not only made about 4x what I did (this was 1998), but he also got to wear jeans and death metal shirts to work and play Half Life at lunch. I bought an HTML for Dummies book, built a small portfolio of skateboarding websites and was hired at his company a few months later.

25 years later I'm a still working in software (though not on the web), and my motivation for doing so has changed very little.
That's a pretty good example. But in the case of Fiber, part of the problem was that other ISPs own/control infrastructure (like poles) to which they're legally obligated to give competitors access...and they would just not comply, or drag their feet on it. Fiber physically couldn't execute because of this. Of course there was corruption involved, as you pointed out, but in the case of ride share apps I can't immediately think of anything analogous, where Uber could physically prevent Waymo from competing with them.
