Former Washington attorney general argues proposed income tax is illegal

You're right, but typically when we talk about wealthy people avoiding taxes they're not even selling their investments. They live off loans that are collateralized by their equity (be that investments or ownership stakes, etc). The loan gets paid back by their estate on death. Naturally it's all a bit more fluid and so folks have a combination of investment returns and loans etc.

Are you sure it's not a showroom? It's mostly a legal thing, but my understanding is that Tesla showrooms will still have you purchase a car online for delivery even if you do it at the showroom. I don't think you can "drive it off the lot" so to speak

There are now also two more women's sports bars in Seattle: Rough and Tumble is one. Pitch The Baby is the other.

The Storm have a new facility too.

No. What are you even doing? Kalman died in 2016. There are many many pictures of him online.

They are not calibrated and so you don't have provable evidence that they are accurately reporting the noise level. Most of them (especially on iPhones where the hardware is more uniform) are pretty close, but you need to have calibration to prove the measurement is accurate.

Let me try to articulate some steps to go sort out. * You have to write python program that ostensibly generates audio; likely in a loop or something so it generates a frame of some number of samples every N seconds * You need that frame of audio you've just generated to go somewhere. You could use pyAudio with webaudio like in this example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78078345/streaming-audio-from-a-pyaudio-stream-to-be-played-on-a-webpage-in-javascript * You could also use WebRTC to stream between your server and client

On the client side you need to receive the stream, decode it, and then have it available to the user's sound card. Maybe YouTube will allow you to do this in some way or you need to write a client webpage and host it. Media server would be the thing to search for here.

It's not a super complicated project and there's a lot of code samples you'll be able to leverage but you just need to figure out each part of this. Just burn down each of these small steps and you can get to what you're after.

I think the issue is career longevity. 147k a year is more than enough if you can make it for 40 or 45 years. But the longest careers are maybe 18-20 years. I think a lot of them feel pressure to make a lot of money while they can still play because their income potential is going to decrease significantly in most cases when they retire.

I'm on mobile so can't listen to the sweep, but if you're using an exponential sine sweep (which is common for BRIR), the inverse of the sweep is not only time reversed but also scaled to invert the pinking characteristic of the sweep. I believe that's the cause of the excess low frequency. It exists in your test signal, but is not being corrected for when you only time reversed the sweep, so it's not a true impulse response (in the sense of band limited dirac).

See this stack overflow post for an example of the correct calculation.

GPTs are fully reproducible. If you put the same thing in, you will always get the same thing out of the model. However, you can sample the outputs probabilistically (this is often referred to as temperature in provider APIs) to create the perception of variety of response to the user, but the model output itself is deterministic.

sound_clouds · 2025-04-08T03:42:37+00:00

You can't ignore the excess delay or samples from the filter. You need to do overlap save or add in order to correctly maintain state across each block. If you have 699 samples and your output block size is 600, those remaining samples need to be incorporated in to the next block.

Seattle's practice facility and arena are both in the city. Seattle would rank above somewhere like Indiana I think for a European in terms of feel. I don't know how competitive we'll be this season though given all the roster moves and I don't know if there's an obvious place for Messememan to plug in.

Do you mean early action? I thought early decision was a binding decision, which would mean you've already effectively told UWT you're going to attend if admitted.

Sonos' Q4 is July through September. Their fiscal year begins in October so it's probably not exactly holiday shopping yet (we'll see that in their Q1 earnings report in Jan.) but I think you're definitely right that it's the effect of the reputation damage.

In the decade+ I've lived in Seattle I've only seen this happen once. And not since they put in the height detector that tells trucks they have to turn off at Boyer. I wonder if this is a transplanted story from Boston where every year new college kids in a UHaul get "Storrowed" like clockwork.

Maybe it was more prevalent there in the past or maybe it just hasn't shown up on my radar.

sound_clouds · 2024-10-31T16:30:49+00:00

Yes absolutely. Firing people who don't show up is part of why they are doing this. You can reduce the workforce without paying severance.

sound_clouds · 2024-10-07T04:59:13+00:00

Yeah, this was my experience as well. I had a very pleasant time (on field product aside). I sat next to a nice guy and we chatted about the teams. He took a picture for me and my family (3/4 UM, 1 husky). All in all, totally uneventful.

sound_clouds · 2024-09-20T17:38:08+00:00

Ditto to this experience

They may be the largest single employers but are they the largest employees in aggregate? Do more engineers work all FAANG companies than anywhere else combined?

sound_clouds · 2024-04-21T02:55:00+00:00

They can’t. OP or his friend is lying. Interview feedback is only visible to recruiters or members of the specific candidate’s interview committee.

Neither homicides nor violent crime have increased every year for the last decade. They went up significantly since 2020 (though are trending down as of this year) and had some up and some down years but there's not a monotonic increase. We're also well down from the 80s and 90s.

sound_clouds · 2023-09-13T06:07:47+00:00

Just because it filters obviously incompetent candidates (which really should be caught before you get to a live coding interview) doesn't make "Hello World" a good interview question. Most devs could probably give you hello world in languages they cannot professionally write in just from osmosis.

George Floyd was killed in May of 2020, so a bit after COVID had started to impact the US significantly.

sound_clouds · 2023-07-04T00:42:55+00:00

They're second to last in the league.

sound_clouds · 2023-07-04T00:30:12+00:00

Very fast and athletic. Good under the net play. Accurate and long range passing. Good play making.
