Factorio works because the gameplay is completely original. It scratches a building + automating + researching loop that no other game has. Many people compare it to programming or electrical engineering design - the satisfaction of automating something that used to take manual effort is great, and very addictive.
The graphics are bland and the early parts of the game feel like a pre-release / beta build, but the addictive gameplay and infinite end-game potential got it a lot of great coverage.
> Is she predisposed to be okay with cold climates, or was she born so that her parents could handle the cold?
The second meaning doesn't make any sense, you could say "I was born to fulfil this destiny" for instance, because there's only one subject in the sentence, the singer.
> Romantic love or parental love?
"I'll be your X" is a clear indication of romantic love...
> Is she saying the last line, or is it her parents talking to her?
Where do her parents come into this? There's no ambiguity at all here: the singer isn't asking much of the person they're singing about, only that they sing along with them.
Given that the song is about famous country and western stars, two of which were married while the other two almost became a couple but one died before it might have happened, it seems like you've read ambiguity into it where there isn't any, and used it to fill in your own interpretation. Which I'm sure we all do at times.
We're looking for an AWS / infrastructure / devops consultant with experience architecting for HIPAA. We know at a high level what we need to do to achieve HIPAA compliance, but want a consultant with enough experience around HIPAA that they can be interpreting certain high-level requirements into action items as far as changing our AWS infrastructure without us burning ourselves from interpreting something incorrectly. Having node.js experience (and interest on backend code-writing) is an optional plus.
We have an existing infrastructure that will require config tweaks (like adding encryption at rest to some services), expanding the logging capability, expanding alerting, and a few other to-dos.
Open to working with people in U.S. or India timezones. We're in LA and Bangalore but remote is fine. Expected timeframe would be fulltime Aug - Sept (or Oct if needed).
Reach out to software@stasislabs.com if interested.
Really? I'd bet it will cover rent for some of the people in this study. It seems larger than other studies I've seen, but I haven't been following all of them.
As a college student, this would cover my rent fully and leave enough for a grocery-run. It would lift a good amount the stress off of my shoulders, that’s for sure.
Yeah finding under $500/mo wasn’t easy in the area around my university, especially with the housing market as it is now. I’m heading into my senior year and just might eek by without taking out loans (thanks to scholarships for average-grade receiving students).
We're looking for someone to help build ES6 + React web applications in the healthcare space. Stasis increases hospital access to automatic, continuous monitoring with our cloud-connected monitoring solutions, and are doing some cool stuff with AI and machine learning to move the industry towards proactive healthcare.
Most of our web applications are full-stack JavaScript, plus a bit of Python used by our team working on machine learning. Experience with ES6 + React + Redux + a good frontend sense are preferred. There will likely be opportunities to work with React Native. A bit of backend experience, including SQL, will help. We're looking for someone who gets excited by TDD, and has experience driving testing + stability best practices on a development team.
We're seed-funded, and planning on raising Series A this year. Our team is about 2/3 in India and 1/3 in the U.S., and we hope to get our first U.S. customers this year. The product today is live in hospitals throughout India.
I don't think we're hallucinating the overtones here - with an EQ (like in the link I believe) you can clearly separate the high and low freqs, and they sound like different words. So it's overtones baked into the audio file.
But what you're describing is exactly what you'd expect if you were dealing with overtones, actually - one tone of the two actual tones that create the illusion of the overtone has to be substantially lower than the other, always. If you knock out one tone by dumping some frequencies, the overtone vanishes, and those who were hearing it now hear something else. Those who never heard it, hear what they heard before.
The basic idea here is that if the harmonic match of the two fundamental (actual) tones isn't exact, then some listeners will hear the overtone, but less sensitive (or perhaps more refined) listeners' brains won't hear it. And many conditions will make it easier or harder for the listener's brain to (falsely but vividly) infer the overtone, including a lot of acoustic reflection (my bathroom example.) Completely knocking out one of the two fundamental tones will change what's heard by some - since now everyone will be hearing the same thing.
Similarly, shifting all frequencies up or down, even if all the information is preserved, can cause everyone to lose the overtone since the overtone is now at a frequency above (or below) what we can hear, so the brain doesn't hallucinate what is beyond it's capacity.
I can do "brain needle" or "green storm". Just like Yanny / Laurel, I believe the lower voice (brainstorm) is what is intended to be heard. The distortion artifacts in the higher frequencies just happen to match up with "green needle" - super interesting.
To me, the "Laurel" "Yanny" wasn't as interesting, because I could clearly hear both at the same time in different registers. But I really like this example because I can't hear "brainstorm" and "green needle" at the same time - it really seems like my brain shuts the other one off once I start listening to the audio.
The electronic musician Max Cooper used the Sacks Spiral in his live AV setup for his album Emergence. His lecture isn't the most concise but he touches on a lot of things that might be interesting to this crowd. He talks about the Sacks Spiral at about 3 minutes into this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFjIk_CnRUM
I doubt it's the same cultural effect, but in India head-shaking while talking (usually to indicate agreement or understanding) is super common, and often throws visitors off when they see someone saying "Of course" while vigorously shaking their head!
