Love Spotify myself. They've done what none of the competitors have managed in my opinion.

Good free-tier, amazing premium service and price, an unbelievably large collection of artists and music, strong privacy protection without the need to provide credit card details (for free tier) or mobile phone numbers, in a super-polished and easy to use package, without all the terrible data-collection.

They really have become the kings of music streaming.
The idea that it's "too much" to expect all of the music for $10 is strange because there are legal ways to do that right now.

I can just go on YouTube, turn an ad blocker on, and there we go. It's not curated, there's no playlist, there's no buffering on my phone when I go underground, the general experience is worse, etc. But that's literally free. Without the ad blocker, it's ad supported, okay, so it's like default spotify without paying.

But it's there and it has been for like, ten years now. In fact I find that YT has loads of stuff that's not on Spotify at all.

If you're disappointed that it turns out that most people ended up not paying for music once they had the choice, fine. But like, the idea that it's somehow unsustainable is obviously wrong, and calling it unethical is pretty opinionated (how is it unethical for me to click on a Beatles video when they're all either dead or fantastically wealthy?)

I've been considering cancelling Spotify for ages, I've been on and off. The only thing that keeps me using the platform is that it's more convenient - it's like buying a coffee at the motorway services instead of making one from a bag of coffee, a cafetiere, and a kettle in my car. I can do it, I just don't want to sometimes.
> Eye witness testimony is often consider credible evidence of crimes with life/death sentences.

You mean eye witness testimony backed up with actual forensic evidence like a dead body or a missing person, right? It's not eye witness testimony disconnected from physical reality, because there are tons of crank pots that wouldn't stand up under cross-examination.
5 points. Come on, that's hardly a reason to act like the sky is falling. When it gets 100, then you worry.
Thanks, great example. It looks like they don't account for the importance of certain terms in tech searches well enough. Like they're far too willing to throw away the "16gb" part of "16gb sdhc" when sorting by price, and sorting by relevance shows you expensive stuff, so there is no good way to say "show me cheap stuff but I'm not kidding about the 16gb part".
"Précis" is a French word, so wouldn't the fact that many people who frequent HN are non-native speakers of English mean that using a French word increases the number of people who understand?

Of course, I would have gone for tl;dr.
I was hoping this would be an indictment of Dixon's remarks by pointing out that there's a lot more in the world than the passion-or-cash fueled Candy Land nerd orgy that is the world of startups. And that, in this larger world, there are many other types of people who really do impressive things as well. (edit: And, the trouble with pissing contests set up over binary distinctions is that all I have to do is find a trauma surgeon or an astronaut to make the argument look silly. It's just such a bad way to make a point.)

But OP used the same lens as Dixon. And if we're going to settle with that lens, well, Dixon is right – it's tough to beat the guys who put their nuts on the line while everyone calls them crazy. No matter how crazy their followers (that is, employees) end up being.

I say we all agree that the world is too interesting and nuanced to divide people up by a single bit.
AWS issues. rebooting.
I don't think "user2" is claiming that the credit card information was sent in plaintext:

normally you ATLEAST enccrypt the securtity code, even if its ssl

That seems to refer to encrypting the CC security code before sending it over SSL using public key encryption, which is good practice if you subscribe to defence in depth. But it's nothing I'd get upset about.
Why exactly do you have to do that? Because some other unknown party could have overwritten the prototype with a new map function?

If that's the case, none of the basic objects are safe, not just Array..
If you don't have a network interface, is not the same thing as Redis. Even Redis can be written as a C library, but it's not the same. Redis is all about a shared persistent state.

I've no idea about __slots__, just a feeling that there are too much underscores to work well ;) But in general to get as memory efficient as Redis in a scripting language is very hard for different (good) reasons.
Dude, you posted that!?
the most solid way to handle it is to use data import from text file (handles csv) so you can configure the columns while looking at them

Which recent excel versions you can bring that data table directly into power query as well, which is useful if youve got multiple csv you are trying to look at that are related
how often? what suite of code did you benchmark?
Why wouldn't it be good for gaming? Put the AVX-512 workload on one core for just that. Or batch the AVX-512 work together so it isn't short bursts.

Nobody is even thinking about leveraging this stuff without understanding things like this anyway.
Tech hubs are good for a reason - they're easier for investors to hunt for deals and a good place for people to learn.

That said, tech does pay well, because it has quite a lot of impact and commercializes very well. And anywhere with a high cluster of well paid people is going to gentrify to hell.

We've also seen lots of cities have trouble building infra to catch up with population growth. Places like Jakarta are overpopulated and/or underdeveloped, and people would often work remotely from several hours drive out of town.

Remote working might make things a lot better. It's likely that sales offices could be centralized to a population hub and a R&D office might be fully remote.
We could dive into a whole political argument here. I am to add, not a republican either, I just think both sides have massive failings and need to be disrupted.
That is not the mathematicians approach. https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/05/15/312537965/h...

Most people commit to one person eventually so you'll need to make a choice.
Then it wouldn't be a lexical closure.
That's your definition of democracy. It's not how it is generally used today, because it doesn't work in anything of any size.

As for the meaning of the word, it simply means that the people are ultimately the ones that are answered to. Just because you can imagine some ideal that you consider "more democratic" doesn't mean the rest of us have to use the word that way.
Experiences vary, I'll grant that.

There's also a difference between those who acquire perceptive limitations (sight, hearing, also motor control, etc.) later in life, whether through accident, injury, illness, or degeneration, and those who have limitations from birth or a young age. Having to learn some (admittedly arcane) interface such as emacs late in life, with fewer capabilities and often declining cognitive capabilities, is difficult.

And yes, mainstream commercial software and OS offerings are improving. Slighty. (Most are still abysmally poor.)

I'm hard-pressed, though, to see how an increased dependence on dynamic and programmatic web design elements improves accessibility. Especially when wielded by technologists, managers, and clients with little awareness or concern for such access.

Again: Google should be much better positioned to grasp this than most. They clearly don't.

>vs their mostly free Android app developers.

But why? Per OP - they'd be willing to pay for an enterprise support contract. Why should a mom and pop shop expect that their experience being a small fish will be any different in GCP than literally EVERY OTHER GOOGLE SERVICE?

It's one thing to tell people using a free service that their only option is automated support - it's quite another to tell customers you just flat-out refuse to offer a paid support model. That tells me that you are organizationally deficient at providing customer support. I've yet to hear anyone using paid g suite speak praises about their support experience if they ever have issues. Quite the opposite.
Whatever.

You only have to be near the top for one thing, if any. For the rest of the things you do, a) enjoy yourself and b) drag yourself up to somewhere near the centre of the bell curve. You'll still be better than half the people who are actually getting paid to do it.

A programmer getting a few design skills is well worth the effort.
It sounds like activity pub is the protocol you're looking for.
I'd head onedrive was bad a 200k file limit?! I have 800k in google drive right now and no issues.
And if you think American TV is bad, try watching TV in any other country. Things only get worse.
The videos were idiotic, and although I made them in a manic
state brought on by sudden withdrawal from Paxil and Suboxone, and while distraught over
the threats to prosecute my mother, that’s still me in those YouTube clips talking nonsense
about how the FBI would never take me alive.

The video threats are the one charge he seems unambiguously contrite about.
Not sure your argument stands up to the 0-17 age group having a 75% reduction in cycling.
A reading of the Gospel of Judas shows that hallucinogens, and the exploration of the metaphysical self, were key (forgotten/censored) parts of the Christian biblical experience as well.
US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
"Epidemiology studies suggest the incidence of LSD in driving under the influence cases is extremely rare."

That's a good point! But your proposed solution is security by obscurity. What if a rogue employee trained a backdoor into your DNN? What if the NSA asked vendors for a master key?

The purpose of this research is to work as a proof of concept. Sure, this iteration needs to cheat slightly to achieve its results. However, looking at the images that aren't just noise, it seems to be possible to construct less specialized images that fool many nets.
Also of note:

Setting up managed accounts, including international accounts, ID verification, and 1099-Ks, costs just 0.5% of funds paid out.

Transfers to standalone accounts are free.
Once we get a non-profit set up there will certainly be that option for support RbMU at least. But if you do want to make a one time payment, here you go: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/13580 (The campaign is for RbMU but it all goes to the same place)

The reason I'm going with subscribers and not advertising the other option just yet is for the reason jonsmock mentioned.

Nonetheless, thanks for the comment because it confirmed my guess that people might want that option...
Tried, enjoyed and yes. I thought I was god on my Amiga.

The OP is much more detailed but reminded me of a project I thought about some time ago: A site to match people with skills willing to put time in open source projects and the projects that need them, like how a dating site works, or Google Summer of Code.

Is there such a thing, is this a good idea?
I think both are losing out to the subscription services and streaming. They should consider buying up one of these companies that offer huge selection for a low price each month.
Was anybody else annoyed that the video spent too much time showing the audience/presenter instead of the screen?

Follow up/related question: She mentions that the slides would be uploaded online. Where?
Nice try, illuminati.
Yes, good lord. Why haven't you already spent your previous time to make money for other people? Are you people selfish? C'mon, hurry up and go do things for other people that you've never met.

I migrated mine because I want them migrated. If you people don't, they don't, and they shouldn't bother. And they definitely shouldn't be giving personal information to strangers without anything in return. (And your list of favorite websites IS personal information.)

Not exactly an iTunes competetor. Maybe they're purposefully avoiding competeing directly with iTunes by offering a completely different type of expirence.
The expired domain search becomes valuable when you put in "2" into the "number of words" input. Now you're getting nice keyword rich 2 word domains.
If you're searching for domains that haven't expired yet, you're best bet is to backorder it, and hope to grab it first.
We'll add other TLDs for the instant domain check.
> For all those down voting, perhaps you can enlighten me?

It's not about covid. It's about for example measles, which is for children a very serious illness.
I'm certain there are human trafficking laws that it would have violated.
Of course your eye is a sensor. As are all your senses. The difference is that the input it receives is unmediated by external sensors and software. Visualising atoms or DNA is fine, but it is an inferior source of information. By a long way.

Imagine you were born deaf and couldn't hear music. But that someone showed you a music visualiser.

Do you think if you were watching the output of that visualiser you would now know the music in some meaningful way?
Yeah, we'd need more data. Because PD is such a low-incidence disease generally, any kind of uptick, even in the pre-60 cohort, would push the dial substantially. Are pre-60 cases, which I just found out trivially are at 4%, increasing substantially? Is 4% inclusive of a much older dataset? I'd venture that the answer is yes, but I have no idea.
I'm sure the Apple Brain Implant will look "cool" and be highly sought after just like their other seemingly-odd gadgets did at the time of their inception (what is this "iPhone" thing?).
Meh! Apple's marketing department needs to go back on their meds, the only thing we will never forget is how overhyped this announcement was.

In the UK the White Album on iTunes is £17.99, on Amazon it is £12.99, what am I missing?
I think the regulations will come soon enough. Tesla, Uber, etc are trying to get as many miles booked as possible before this happens.
-There's only two capital letters on the entire list: "Password" and "Highlife"

have you looked into using Cascalog/Clojure with hadoop ?
It was only meant to be a light hearted joke. However if you want a serious reply - Yahoo bought Delicious and then a few years later they decide they want to possibly close down Delicious thus panicking users everywhere. We are focused on our userbase and would not want to put our site, which some of our users rely on, in any danger of closing and thereby forcing users to lose their bookmarks.
Agreed that is a problem, but if you have noticed most of them have dropped the "unlimited!" from their slogans. I recall when my local cable provider was called Optimum Online Unlimited!. What they meant was that it was unlimited time, always on. Explictedly not unlimited bandwidth. I know this becuase I was cut off about 3 times in 6 months for using too much bandwidth. When you used to have to pay per minute, having an always on internet connection was "unlimited". Now everyone just assumes they pay 1 price per month for having access to the internet for the entire month. Would it make any sense to build the infrastructure so that every customer can saturate 20 megabits down every minute of every day of the month? Of course not. So they can't provide the model of always connected and unlimited bandwidth. It's one or the other.

I have an option of different speeds through my provider, and I'm OK with paying extra for the higher speed. Internet connection is more important to me than what channels I get on TV (which begs the question why I pay more for TV than internet). My parents would rather have more channels and slower internet. I don't see anything wrong with that.
This is happening because it's having to pull down all channel posts instead of storing some of them locally. Not so ideal. A better approach will be to have backbone.js throw them into a local store.
because most would call finance markets a zero-sum game

Most what would call what finance markets zero-sum games? Futures are, the stock market isn't, regardless of what most call them.
This is why they have binding contracts. You're already in with them for a while. Then if everything is working why would you go through it again by going with another carrier at the end of the contract?
I'm not a network engineer. But perhaps this wouldn't be a problem once `SDPY` is popularized.

Women are pushed away from CS because of sexism. A culture of sexism you contribute to with this comment.
They don't? Can you prove that?
Works even better when you pin that to the home screen as a faux app.
Agreed, but there is something wrong if people have to use it all the time.
I'm embarrassed to admit that in one of my first interviews I was asked to code bubble sort and choked for the first 30 seconds (it felt like a lot longer) until I reminded myself "I can do this" and sort of got back into things. I'd be tempted to disagree that this is such a big factor but it happened to me on bubble sort.
1.) You do not have to use dynamic columns for this. Unfortunately I've found in my own experience, as Cassandra has matured over the last year, alot of terminology has fallen in and out of fashion and its hard to recognize what is actually current. Dynamic columns in CQL3 has nothing to do with the behavior OP is talking about and in dynamic columns are sort-of a deprecated feature in Cassandra 1.2. In CQL3, OP's use-pattern in actually hidden if you didn't know any better.

In short, there is no deserialization/reserializaion. OP's writes are append only. I have a similar use pattern to OP, and I haven't seen any performance issues with 100,000s of columns (on SSDs)

2.) The "huge IO efficiency" is similar to what you would see in any columnar data store. Wikipedia has a good walkthrough of it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Column-oriented_DBMS). The short story is now there is fewer meta data between his values.

--

In any case, it works out because Cassandra is far more well suited for this type use pattern than Mongo is. We migrated from MongoDB (on SSDs) to Cassandra for similar reasons. The perf-killer on Mongo in this scenario is the write lock.
>Wiretaps were tolerated when we could trust in processes that would guarantee that they would not be abused.

They were abused for a long time and we did nothing. The difference was you had to physically tap the line while the call was taking place, and then physically listen to the entire call.This placed enormous limitations. Now you can automatically store everyone's calls (translated to text), and search the entire database with a keyword search.

But this is one of those things that, sadly, few people outside of places like HN have the slightest understanding of.
Several years ago, I discussed Musk’s anti-fossil-fuel political activism with a close friend his. The man was an excellent engineer, and looked at Musk with pure technological enthusiasm. “I understand where you’re coming from,” I said. “But here’s the thing. If he has any success whatsoever with his political goals, he will do damage to billions of lives. Someone can perform a lot of great engineering feats and still be a negative force in the world.”

You can't quote yourself as an authority like that to close a piece you are writing. Not unless you are a bit mental anyway.

I would also be very interested to know what the private uptake of solar is among the people why own tesla cars. I would suspect a reasonable amount of them are already being charged off rooftop solar.
Believe it or not, in this case I did not have a clone of that external library, since I am using it as a jar. I was therefore relying on GitHub for browsing the actual source code.
pg: this could be a job for him
The difference between these guys and many of their peers in the Forbes 400 is that they earned the money by building things. That makes them very different from a hedge fund manager who clears >$1b/yr. (a) from pure gambling with no benefit to the real economy and (b) by lobbying for - and getting - exemptions in the tax code that drop his income tax to 15%; less than that of the guy managing a McDonalds (or, as Rich points out, his secretary).

In other words, the systemic damage comes from corruption among those writing tax policy, which makes that policy a vector for spreading the resulting distortions and imbalances throughout the economy. The piece also notes that guys like L&S+Z are in a decreasing minority when it comes to a who's-who of the plutocracy. That is to say, they are the exception that proves the rule.

SV has always prided itself (quite rightly) on its distance from DC. But that distance can also mean being unaware of exactly how bad things have really become. Rich does a great job in pointing out that the problem of intense wealth concentration shouldn't be attributed to generalized bogeymen like "technology" or "globalization" or "big corporations". Rather, he charges that very specific and very abusive manipulations of tax law have allowed some of our least innovative, least competitive, and least valuable organizations to become maliciously self-serving at the expense of everyone else.
This is an important distinction. NYC != Manhattan. There are 4 other boroughs to explore and in post-9/11 NYC I find the outer boroughs are simply more interesting. Manhattan has become this caricature of its former self which I frankly find to be boring.

Another note (somewhat unrelated to your comment). I am 23 so I consider most of the cases to be my peers (although I have a job). I'm in a living situation similar to the people featured in this article. I have three roommates and I pay less than 600 for a large room in a large apartment in East Williamsburg. The one thing is, I'm not complaining. I'm also not sure if a majority of the people in this piece are. Living in Manhattan is just not a reasonable, or an enjoyable, option IMO.
That would result in less efficient markets (which means higher spreads and more expensive transactions) and the market makers, who at present trade at high frequency, would capture more wealth than they do now.
Predictability of everything.
Guess I will verify manually (I could always google).
back in the day, rival groups sorted their issues on the streets. How things have changed!
In your last paragraph, you need to use the plural form: "followers" and "numbers."
By 'tax professional' do you mean a lawyer or an accountant? I remember hearing ads on the radio some years back for a tax lawyer claiming that it was better to see a lawyer than an accountant because the accountant can be forced to testify against you (but attorney-client privilege protects you if you get a tax lawyer).
Would love to get some feedback on this.
I had an agreement with my employers that I would not, prior to quitting my job recently. I think there are likely huge, huge unexploited opportunities here, but the language barrier (I speak Japanese, but I speak English very well, which rather helps when doing copywriting) and my lack of familiarity with the contours of the Japanese-speaking Internet (I couldn't name a major Japanese blogger if I tried, for example) always make me reach for the USA first.
Do you have any designers you've worked with that you'd recommend, and have bandwidth for extra work? I'm awful at design, so I'm always on the lookout.
You can still test ad copy and landing page copy that promises a future product in exchange for an email address.
