this is such a hacker news comment. expounding needlessly. e2e implies encryption at the source and endpoint which entails encryption along all transit paths. its not that deep. if its not encrypted at the source “ring”, then it cant be e2e. I get your semantics but its just a waste, as is my comment here.

its usually those with financial interests and objectives simply corrupt politicians to legislate their way into reality. politicians serve the highest bidder

why cant this just be a table? an impressively large table should speak for itself. Far easier to share and have passed around.

no one mentioned recycling. you introduced that. the above poster is simply conflating altering a materials surface to be sticky, with applying a 3rd party compound to achieve tack. its intellectually tacky, and i dont even know what youre doing. youre just leveraging this to bring about a point of your own, which is deserving of being its own parent comment. but in earnest reply, the question I have is in the change in material surface that becomes sticky. How does that become incompatible with current recycling processes if the base material was compatible? I dont know enough chemistry but it seems to me the post-co2-treatment material should break down the same way in an industrial recycling process.

dont be like that. so semantic youre missing the point so you can dote on yourself.

I feel like its pretty obvious they mean an adhesive in the sense of an additional substance or agent. Just because they use a laser to modify the paper structure to effectively become sticky, doesnt detract at all from the goal and point of the title. that no additional products/agent/glues were needed.

absolutely missing the point of it all just to jerk your ego off.

this is so prevalent on HH that it’s normalized and most the cerebral bozos cant read between lines beyond their self righteous vantage.

the github mentions tidal integrations. i hope they are adding random delays between each download or that user is gonna get their account auto deleted by tidal.

New comment by pseudosaid in "New lab-grown human embryo model produces blood cells"

it wouldnt matter because of the context. It is expected that an embryo grows into a baby that is born. The very delaying of that expectation that denotes the slave label. Preventing the natural progression is a retardation of freedom. Since these embryo units are designed and purpose built, they are no more slave than the native embryo. If these designer embryos have capacity to develop further on their own, then there is an argument and correlation to be made.

tell that to the derivatives market. It should be obvious that the stock market is divorced from actual value. fundamentals are meaningless now, there is zero penalty for failing to deliver securities, and 95% of all retail trades dont even hit lit markets. Price discovery doesnt exist and neither does the concept of a free market. Open your eyes and see that the market is a sham ponzi scheme where siphoning real value out kf the system is its main objective.

devs threw in m8c and its dependencies so you can hook up a teensy 4.1 flashed with Dirtywave’s headless M8 firmware, and make music on the handheld. 8 mono tracks, synths and samplers. it turns any handheld running this into a decent DAW

ignore those addicted to negativity. for most people, their life is just reducing awareness to fit into their adlib structured arguments to assuage their insecurities. “Im so smart, i can ignore possibilities and unknowns and frame a thought construct that boosts my sense of ego and importance!”

New comment by pseudosaid in "The Audio Stack Is a Crime Scene"

A stereo mix is in fact trivial and roughly assumes a left right speaker arrangement. Software summing is math and is the same across digital audio workstations because math is math. Are there 3 or more microphones? doesnt matter, each mic is a mono input. trying to capture a facsimile of a perceived stereo field? use ORTF mic spacing and hard pan those mono inputs appropriately.

Stereo is just dual mono. its that simple. Summing is just math, its that trivial.

Creating a mix of multiple inputs for a stereo lr output? also completely trivial from a technical standpoint. Hardly trivial from a creative pov, but that isnt what this is about.

being annoyed is a result of all ready being in discomfort and blaming whatever stimuli you can scapegoat to avoid acknowledging your own dis-ease.

walk around with some chronic pain, and see how quick everything annoys you and how self righteous that disapproval is.

More like the unbearable displacement of blame

Please add the ability to import midi into the songs section. I would prefer to use this app to learn new music than my current solution. Great app!

can this app give an audible alert when form falls beyond threshold?

chicken before the egg. its reasonable to want to use this to ensure proper form before trying to strength train with said form. Every pic on their website shows zero weight or bars being used and there is a focus on getting good form. even if i was pushing weights to near failure, id want to know the second my form start tanking to avoid injury. proprioception alone is not enough to ensure good form until you can develop the awareness to maintain it.
