Wow, the Python community sure is impressed with its small dicts. Have they tried pooling?

Or perhaps the brain is less impressive than you think.

Hey HN! I want to hear the arguments as to why this is or isn't a positive development for society. Not whether or not it's the right business decision, or whether or not they should have the right to do it.

Any thoughts?

Is this parody?

> War is never justified.

> Ability is 99 parts skill, one part talent.

> The only math you need is: add/divide/multiply in your head. And basic probability and statistics and percentages.

I mean, if it makes you happy, keep telling yourself that.

Remember, we just elected a black man who was the head of the Harvard Law Review. Whatever you think about him, he did not succeed because of know-nothingism. We have bifurcated in some ways, but there's still a lot to be excited about!

This is so freaking cool! A mini-history told by someone passionate about it.

I used it at work last summer, and it was fine-- did everything you'd expect it to, etc. I found that I missed my Mac for a few reasons, but those seem to be mostly idiosyncratic.

Well... It doesn't. The same ratios exist for A=440:A=440 * 3/2 and A=432:A=432 : 3/2, for example

If I understand correctly, he's guessing that pitch discrimination is finer at lower frequencies, so tuning at 432Hz would allow our ears to be more 'exact'. Of course, this advantage would be negligible, and pitch discrimination decreases past a certain point. The songwriter intended their piece to be heard by human ears at A=440Hz, knowing the various propensities of human hearing at various levels.

Ok, I see what you mean.

Then most songs would sound 'better' a half-step down, etc.

What???

Tighter differences between each notes' frequencies??

Please explain this thought.

It's not.

Or it's a stand against a movement which opposes their moral principles. To Pao (and, to the extent that it matters, me), D. Trump's movement is so vile that any prominent supporters of it waive their right to being tolerated. I am sure you'd agree that doing so would be acceptable if Thiel supported Strom Thurmond, Viktor Orban, or Mao Zedong; it's just a matter of how bad D. Trump is.
