In my field (ETRM) I’ve worked with Deloitte on a couple of occasions. I have seen this sort of nonsense on more than one occasion. A specific example that comes to mind was a project a few years back where Deloitte stuck 4 junior consultan

I seem to remember reading about paper thin Ambisonic speakers since I was a kid in the 80s reading Stereo Review. It looks like this sort of thing is finally coming to fruition. I am assuming that you would need to augment these with a tra

I agree with you, and on the flipside we need hedge funds and other “pro” investors to abide by the same rules. Big banks sure didn’t feel much pain in 2008...

Or this could simply be a concept car where aesthetics drive design. Then the reality of getting it to follow safety regulations hits and all the cool things that aren’t great for production get revised more mainstream. Just as I suspect th

Have to agree here. I actually quite like safari, but cant use it due to no uBlock Origin which is unfortunate. uBlock and Facebook Container have made all the difference for me.

Palletized shipping is an entirely different world. I recently bought an Optigan (Itself worthy of a HN discussion) and it was shipped on a pallet. Despite mediocre 1970s plastic construction it arrived alive. The shipping experience is har

Maybe I’m crazy for suggesting this, but for a non mobile layout the single column is a waste of real estate. Maybe allow a the current UI for those who don’t want to change but have a 2 column layout for those with the space that has top a

In car development cycles 9 years is pretty damn quick. If you truly understand the scope of how hard it is to build cars and completely switch your factory tooling and the capex involved you may feel differently...

Its not not an MBA thing either. Sure its fun to dump on MBAs as being ruthless, careless and thinking of resources as replaceable widgets. To some degree you are right in that bad leadership will make these sorts of short sighted decisio

Catnip is the only socially acceptable drug that I’ve seen that you can administer to animals. Imagine the outrage if you substitute catnip with cannabis or alcohol and post it to YouTube. Granted in the case of alcohol you most certainly c

A lot of powerful claims made in this article. Are we sure 737s crashed because of spaghetti code? As far as I am concerned the max crashes were due to a string of management failures pushing for wrong ideas.

That is my first thought. I have a few specialty plugins in Wavelab that I would be curious to run a Zoom capture through. If its ultrasonic, then as you say a low pass filter should suffice, but theres a million ways to encode data...

I’m happy to give up thinness for SD card and HDMI. I use my MBP with a bunch of hardware samplers old and new which use SD for sample import and storage. I never use the Touch Bar and miss F keys dearly(development duties). The next MacBoo

I have an issue with it and I am not sure that my stance is correct. The problem as I see it is that making things casual feels like it’s taking the discipline out of the discipline of science. I also just think that slang is not necessaril

Maybe this is oversharing, but maybe not. I have shades of this in myself. I have a much smaller friend group than many folks and a cynical take on most peoples motivations. I can say that some of why I feel this way is just "how Im be

I’m always a bit flummoxed by guidelines like this being taken as gospel. Sure I will start with the manufacture recommended placement if my room allows, but at the end of the day I have to hear the speakers so if it sounds good it is goo

When I went to Europe in 2006 I dropped 15 pounds in 3 weeks. I was hardly obese (call it pudge) but those three weeks changed my life completely. Encouraged by the start, I began to exercise and get in shape. That lasted until a severe foo

My back yard has about 7-8 banana trees and I get fruit from 1 of them every year. I dont know enough about them to know what variety they are, but this year I got 20 6-8" long 3" diameter (yes, they are stubby and fat) bananas th

This is also the kind of thing we need to be able to talk about without getting caught in our feelings. I generally am just lamenting that this is where we are.

Let me say for the record that I dont have compassion for the current administration. My 'sadness' is for the people we all live with and interact with. I am not a right wing person, but I dont have any problem with them. I actual

Maybe there isnt. You could be right, but I was speaking in broad strokes. You cant say there arent bad faith actors on the left. I honestly dont care if there is someone on the left that is equivalently 'bad'. And trying to find

That’s just it. A lot of people of all political persuasions are reasonable and rational. I don’t think the current administration is at all. I’m a generally middle of the road guy that has a general viewpoint of live and let live. The prob

I read things like this and it really makes me sad. I don’t agree with Steve Bannon or Rudy Giuliani on a lot of things. I also don’t agree with their equivalent person on the left. In fact I am skeptical of most “career politicians”. I rea

And so we usher in the field of viral therapy once again. It seems that from my non medical/biological point of view we’ve spent our recent history trying to eradicate bacteria and viruses from our life only to find out they can be use

Claims that company x oversteps privacy boundaries is often met with oh yeah? But Apple isn’t perfect. I agree, and I think there is room to push Apple to be a bigger advocate for privacy. Currently I think they are arguably doing the best

I know Patrick Reams- he is a semi well known ‘thought leader’/speaker in my industry. (Energy and Commodity markets) interesting to see what comes of this. What scares me is that somehow amazon knows where to send the 1099 but for wha

Been on keto for the last 3 months. Can confirm. However once I got over the carb cravings I have a markedly lower appetite. I eat 1-2 meals per day now where on no restrictions I was hungry every 4 hours like clockwork

The problem as I see it is politicians don’t want to be the person legislating prison reform when it is so easy for their opponents to blame a horrendous crime on their “soft on crime” stance. I do think prison is at least a partial deterre
