This is great news, but the lack of a filter for DRM-free—coupled with the inability to send any other types of titles to an e-reader—makes this pretty useless for a lot of us. An e-ink display really does make all the difference for me to

There is no conversation here. There's one thread near the top that tries to talk about the actual vulnerability, the rest is knee-jerk snark. I totally understand why people are knee-jerking, but it's not a conversation and it do

Whether something belongs on Hacker News doesn't really depend on the news item so much as on what kind of discussion comes off of it. Some of the most insignificant stories are great Hacker News topics because they spawn amazing discu

They're the same phenomenon, just different amounts and precision of memory. Source: my wife and multiple of her siblings have absolute pitch and we've spent hours and hours talking about their experience with it.

Yep. There's so much ignorance around this topic it's kind of insane. I have no idea why so many people have such a vested interest in absolute pitch being something magical instead of a learned skill. I've spent a lot of tim

Right, but their point is that if what the article you link to is true—if 44% of people are right on key when singing a song—then it should also be just a matter of collecting 12 songs with different starting pitches and mapping songs to no

It's harder to find, so it's less likely to be noticed and exploited by a bad actor than a glaring issue. My experience has been that this is typical of these programs—you're trying to reward researchers for finding things th
