And consume massive amounts of a small startup team's highest skill expertise for weeks to have any chance of getting. And have a known death valley and cash flow issue unless you have other investment already. But they're a nice

Yeah, I was surprised to see the article start from a clearly true starting point and then veer way off into left field talking about not having enough talent or coordination (the founder's problem) instead of the actual issue of VC ex

I mean, it is literally across the river from Louisville. Kidding. No, and they pronounce the city of Versailles, IN ver-sales.

In Indiana at least it was semi-optional in '88 and I think they just had a morning class and an afternoon class to double the number of kids who got to go. But I mean, I'm pretty sure they went full-day as soon as it was possible

The employees receive "cash dividends" that are typically lower than market rates for a salary plus the second they leave for a new job they will likely end up creatively shafted out of the difference in salary they effectively in

I suppose it's also extremely reasonable to not want to live in close quarters with too many roommates you don't actually know all that well who may or may not be adhering to the same level of safety as you want to. But if that wa

I was surprised that in SF of all places the impact of COVID on AirBNB rentals wasn't even mentioned. I'd expect some people doing that have decided to just rent it like normal housing and actually increase the housing stock. But

You are probably right. I forgot about the whole power of two thing for ffts. That would definitely irritate the same part of my brain that would be put off by interpolating discrete samples even if they're inaudible. Same vein as how

I haven't read the code but it sounded like they encode in frequency space so if they're already putting all the bits into encoding below 20kHz it seems like it would not change the size (as 44.1kHz to 48kHz already have no bits a

Sure, and knowing that they're the oddball doesn't mean their physics is any different locally. This is the core concept of special relativity from which the rest is derived, neither of us is special in how our environment behaves

You're probably noticing that the two numbers are not multiples of one another and time samples are discrete so the only way to convert sample rates between 44.1kHz and 48kHz is by interpolating. Going from 96kHz to 48kHz is easier, yo

That actually does make some sense to me, the same thing is done for video encoding, sort of. If there's a static scene it encodes it at super high quality (but makes up for it by saying "don't change" for a while). But

As a point of reference, I'm designing some ear buds that have pretty big batteries (~300mAh Li-Ion) and at that power budget the idle current for the battery power controller chip is sufficient to drain the battery in about a month

Yet from S62's perspective, we're the ones moving. It will be hard to imagine if you try to retain the concept of some universal clock. The important thing is that if you actually traveled from one to the other that during your ac

Sure, I agree with that. But the parent was talking about, well, the parents' motivation. The parents probably recognize that, if their kid fails miserably at Harvard but manages to graduate with a questionably useful degree, they will

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but having gone to a similar university I suspect that the underwater basketweaving degree from Harvard will come with lucrative enough connections to make up for the lack of actual skills. Remember, success is

I've only ever seen schools switch from freshman to "first year". Frosh is slang.

The question "what it is slang for" is different from the question "what is the word derived from". The prior may well change if everyone has a group delusion and believes it is slang for something different. The latter

I hate to be all like "to be fair" but wouldn't it have been even worse if they'd waited until after she moved there and then sent her home and made her move twice instead of canceling a move once? Do you mean they'

Leases seem like the worst aspect of this, at least a return flight is only half a month's rent (one would hope). I agree that you are correct about this, even here in Boston we've just got so many colleges that even if the one I

I suppose even then they won't be obligated to do anything at all... I guess there's no way for them to really notice how many people don't even go to the trouble of making their websites load... that's what I observe

It's a nonprofit, this happens frequently. That they aren't following their charter or state law is why they can have their nonprofit status revoked. You've never heard of a charitable organization getting in trouble for misu

But you have to go out of your way to do that, which means it will not be done by any meaningful number of people, which means that Amazon sees a benefit in it being as it is. Or else at least doesn't see enough benefit in fixing it. T
