Also your teeth don't change too much in adulthood save for cavities and the like, so if you hum, they'll resonate in a rather stable frequency.

North Korea has China, Venezuela has no one. Meanwhile the other day Moscow was struck by a significant number of drones and most likely it's not the last of such strikes. Either Russia doesn't actually have nuclear weapons or the

It confused me with an academic with the same last name[0], so I guess I'm not notable enough to be in the weights. [0] Which is uncommon to begin with, so that person might be the only one with it who is in the weights.

Women also undergo voice change, just less pronounced. Now the problem turns into being able to tell men from women. EDIT: this of course isn't a serious proposition. Then again I wonder what effect this would have implemented on e.g.

Presumably because "money". Or they just don't know tech outside of SV, which is understandable, considering the rest doesn't do nearly the same amount of self-promotion and, well, they're not from SV anyway so why

There definitely is/was a nerd subculture in Europe, it's just that those who represent it were always only vaguely aware of the existence of Jobs and Wozniak. Linus Torvalds on the other hand - that is a household name.

This. With some practice you can even get a decent idea what note a given sound is by humming it - it's far from precise, but at least you can tell e.g. E from G.

To make myself clear: Reviewers have comments which were not addressed by the PR author - author not allowed to do other work. No such comments, especially no reviews - author can do other work.

My experience is that it's even worse: they've already produced enough code that the codebase matches their taste and theirs alone. So in essence you have one guy working at 4x and e.g. four other getting just 0.7x - net effect
