>it would be a tremendous cultural loss if it were to disappear. This is something I haven't heard a great deal about, and it's something that concerns me about other media platforms like Medium.

Of course, in all fairness (and modulo archiving by organizations like the Internet Archive), media and writing hosted on a personal web site is at least as likely to just disappear at some point. I agree with your basic point though. Any number of content sites have gone away in a manner where pretty much everything was lost.

Not quite. Dolphin do provide Jetpack that is a updated (ish, their last release was a year ago) webkit engine.
On the other hand, without them, much of the content wouldn't have been anywhere anyway. So the content is there because they are there. And if the go away, so might some of that content as well as future content which won't have a home.
I use sound cloud for finding new artists and I don't even know what I could pay for...
I've accidentally fried small birds at ~1KW around 100MHz. It all depends on where they sit and how the power is radiated. Near the end on a Yagi is not a good spot.
I didn't expected that, Soundcloud is such a nice plateforme. I thought that they were still growing, there is so much potential, with artists promotion and so on. I also wonder why they never became a selling platform. Is there any company that would buy the service ?
Is there a design equivalent to the mythical man-month in software engineering?
> What factor(s) then make the game-play enjoyable while the heavy-lifting dev-work feels sometimes more tedious?

Speaking as a gamer, it's escapism. If my brain is so busy trying to solve the mental challenge on the screen (or in front of me as a board game), all other thought get pushed out and I'm not thinking about them. If I didn't have a sufficient mental challenge in front of me, then my subconscious would spend time working on those things.

Also, it's low stakes, so I don't have to be stressed out while I'm engaged in it. I'm not being judged on how well I do, or even that I solved the problem at all, I know I can put down the game whenever and no one cares. This is why I don't think gamifying work is too useful in the long run, because deep down we know we're expected to solve those problems and get results.

So yeah, gaming is essentially my alcohol, and part of the reason why I don't feel the need to drink or take drugs all that often (besides caffeine and aspirin).
A significant role of the SoundCloud that I'm most familiar with is as a distribution platform for mixes and performances by musicians for whom the _sale_ of their music is not a significant revenue source; these performers (and I'm talking about dance music, in all its varieties) almost exclusively make their living performing live, and release mixes mostly as a sort of marketing.

This obviously isn't the _only_ type of artist on SoundCloud, but they're a huge part of what makes SoundCloud culturally significant.
Yes, but the Soundcloud devs are average and as such overpaid. I think it is a combination of non-merit in hiring and a culture that is toxic for good development (favoring coolness to getting things done i.e. effectivity/doing the things that earns money).

How is that 'ridiculously high'? That's say e4000/month after taxes (if total tax pressure is 40%). These costs also include e.g. the director's salaries, which I presume are more than 80k/year for a 10 year old company with 200 employees.
>There is evidence in the form of the existence of transgender people.

The link I describe isn't a link that ALWAYS holds. The link, like all links in science, is just a causal correlation.

So in short, being of the male sex doesn't guarantee that you will be of male gender, but it makes it highly highly like you will be of the male gender. That is the intrinsic connection and link I describe.

I think essentially we're in agreement.

Honestly, I don't think the solution even requires that much creativity or innovation.

Just in the past 3 or 4 months I've found half a dozen or more artists on Soundcloud, then headed over to Bandcamp or Amazon to buy and download their music. It would be awesome if I could buy it right there on Soundcloud. Every song could have a "Buy MP3" and "Buy Album" button right there by the Like, Share and other buttons.

Maybe it wouldn't solve all of their problems, but it's better than what they have now.

Some people are crazy enough to leave Kansas. For them knowing another language would be a plus. For those times, when they are not in Kansas anymore.
I think both these points agree: SoundCloud is the one place where you can find lots of music, especially electronica. Also, that's not a very healthy thing if you're interested in preserving history.

First Direct Detection of Gravitational Waves: Livestream
There's a bit of a Moral Crusade against payday lenders, because the rates they charge are exorbitant and their customers are poor, and people find that shocking. Since they're so obviously Bad Guys, then it's okay to do things like this to Get Them, right?

Never mind that a payday loan may be a much better deal than a late payment on something important (or, for instance, if your car has been towed and is accruing storage fees by the hour). Never mind that the money lent stands a substantial risk of being lost forever and that economic studies find the actual profit margins on loans are often in the ~3.5% range, consistent with many other businesses. No, there's prima facie evidence that this is EVIL USURY; burn it with fire.

It's preposterous for him to prescribe how others should use twitter. Besides, I don't read each and every email I get either.

The thing is I do not trust an algorithm (or popularity) to accurately tag what an "important" tweet is to me. So I tend to follow single-purpose accounts with high signal to noise ratio - if I follow you for your insights in algorithms; serial-tweeting your cat pics will get lead me to unfollow you. I know I miss out on a lot of C.Sci wisdom from people who tweet prodigiously, which is a shame

I wish twitter had user-defined 'channels' like @user/cuda and @user/cats so I can selectively follow a specific channel that interests me...
Do we really need to apply ageism here? This industry (and especially software engineering) already has enough problems related to it.
Apparently two downvoters disagreed with me, so can you point out any sentences at all that you find useful or relevant?

I didn't read it all the way through but guide seemed completely irrelevant to tweeting. Obviously reducing tweet length is important for everyone, and a hard skill to master: this guide doesn't include anything that can be used.

In particular the abbreviations don't seem current. Then there are whole sections of advice like this:

>' for feet

>"for inches

>% for percent

>@ for at

>should be written "feet," "inches," "percent," "at," etc.

Which is obviously literally the opposite advice of that which you would use for tweeting.

Or look at:

>For example, a press correspondent might ,first write this dispatch:

>"The enemy has not yet been met or even seen on account of the entanglements thrown up during the night," etc.

>Revised for the cable, this dispatch might read:

>"Enemy unmet unseen account entanglements upthrown night."

They say "upthrown" instead of "thrown up" because upthrown is 1 word but "thrown up" is 2. The words they omit are ones that editors might put back in. But it's not something you can tweet! (Account instead of "on account of".) If you tweeted "Enemy unmet unseen account entanglements upthrown night" absolutely nobody would understand what you mean.

The whole guide does not really translate in any way to tweeting. I think perhaps my downvoters thought that I was being too literal, that I shouldn't expect it to -- but why not? Brevity is the underlying style focus in each, so you would think that a lot of the guide would translate! It simply doesn't.

Being extremely brief and using specific techniques to be briefer is an important skill used in both telegrams and tweeting, and the advice I read here doesn't in any way translate into tweeting. You can't use any of it.
> In theory, states could step in and reallocate water according to modern economic priorities.

As the old saying goes, in the West, water flows uphill towards money.

When the US received the New Mexico territory, they agreed to accept the old land grant system. There are still ongoing lawsuits over what that means. Quoting from Nichol's "The Milagro Beanfield War", “The war never ended in 1848”.

In theory, states are supposed to follow these agreements.

> personal property is sacrosanct and farmers wield a lot of influence

Farmers aren't the only water rights holders in the West.

What is the "modern economic priority" regarding existing Navajo water rights?

> He supports the idea of setting aside what policy makers call “lifeline supplies” to guarantee households some minimal amount of water. ... Anyone who wants to fill a swimming pool, water a golf course, or use billions of gallons of Colorado River water to grow cotton in the Sonoran Desert, he says, should have to pay for that privilege.

What about the right to farm the land your family has had for 300 years, and where the water rights have long been established?

> Deane told me he’d abandoned an effort to buy a distressed New Mexico property in 2014 after hearing about a local gas-station attendant who—opposed to the idea of investors buying up water—refused to fill the cars of workers who were drilling wells on the property.

Yes. New Mexicans have a long history of outsiders coming in to buy up water rights.

Are these meant to be rhetorical? You decide when you're going to stop calling it a startup. They are venture-backed and founded within the past decade. I'm going to call them a startup.

As for question number two, I'll let you count how many publicly-traded companies aren't profitable that have been around for decades.

I didn't register an opinion on whether SoundCloud should or shouldn't be profitable, I merely said what GAAS[0] requires an auditor to do.

While the GP is seeing collusion where there are only aligned incentives, you are not getting some of the point of Moore's Law.

The thing is, most industries begin with a short period of super-exponential improvements, most of what happen in the lab before the products even get sold. In just a few years, the industry is mature, and further improvements happen in a much slower rate.

Semiconductor industry is different. Because of economical factors, it couldn't have that super-exponential beginning, and had to slow down for decades of merely exponential growth. (It also may had the biggest rate of mature/immature efficiency we've ever seen - but that's another thing.)
I want to pay them, but they didn't seem to have a music-listener-focused subscription level last time I looked. All of their paid features were designed for music producers, not listeners.
That ATP has to come from somewhere though. In cells the ultimate source is usually glucose. So you'd still have to supply some source of energy, in one way or another.
I wonder. Considering it would be easy for HN maintainer to implement this feature I came to the conclusion they considered it and chose not to go with it. Maybe because that would somehow degrade the HN experience. Maybe that would shape a `quick-reply-on-the-spot' tendency instead of people getting back to the comments a few hours later to check out if the conversation brought new insights. A mean to keep some kind of posters from over posting.
This is unfortunate news... I remember seeing this video ( years ago) introducing SoundCloud: https://vimeo.com/1857085

Nostalgic, now.
I'm getting really tired of these sort of posts/comments on how hard it is to make a "simple website" these days. If you want to make a website the old way no one is stopping you. Tools exist because no one wants to do it the old way because the old way sucks.

Which combination of tools should you use? Ember if you have no idea where to start - otherwise thing about the problem you have with other tools and find tools that solve those problems.
Thanks! I feel so narcissistic when I load up my profile to see if I've got any replies ;)
I remember learning about the LIGO experiment back when it was being built, a decade ago, and at the time it seemed so amazing: a giant tube of vacuum, sealed underground and so sensitive that it could detect animals walking nearby, listening to the moving and twisting of space itself… I guess we're finally seeing that with immense human ingenuity and the most careful of engineering, the universe will offer its secrets up to us.

This also means that between LIGO and ATLAS/CMS, the last few years have screwed in the final screws on two of the big physics advances of the 20th century: quantum field theory and general relativity are now both experimentally complete, and both look nearly unassailed in their correctness. The next steps for physics look increasingly abstruse: understanding the exceptional cases, like black holes, holography, and the fundamentally computational form of the universe. It's an exciting time, and it looks more and more like we're close to the very bottom, since we have to look so far now to find anything outside our models.
A lot of queer music, IME, is primarily distributed through Soundcloud - and more generally, there's a lot of people making music for reasons other than making money off it. Obviously, it's a poor business choice to keep a service running primarily for these people, but it's certainly a cultural centre for certain types of music none-the-less. I'll be sad to see it go.

Yes. The arc is what causes the AM modulation to be translated to moving air at the same frequency as the modulation because the intensity of the arc changes rapidly.

Since this is AM you end up with intelligable sound (for an FM station this trick wouldn't work).

Can we have some more data?

How many visits do they have per day? How much data do they stream per day? What is the total amount of data that they serve?
In theory anything can be bypassed including TXT, TXT on it's own does not provide any substantial amount of protection against tampering at least not over traditional TPM setups.

What it does is centralizes all of the measurements in one place and adds DRM.

It's not bad in any way but it's also not required to run a secure boot encryption setup.

My 9 year old HP Compaq 6910p Centrino with TPM can offer almost the same level of protection as any modern Intel vPro laptop.

Case for Bitlocker (one of the few FDE's that actually has good integrity checks)

BIOS / UEFI modification (Update, revision, settings
change etc.) - both will trigger recovery mode

-Boot loader modification - both will trigger recovery mode

-Boot order change - both will trigger recovery mode

-Boot attempt number does match between TPM & HDD (e.g.
when the HDD was removed and attempted to be booted in another device, or when the machine was booted not from the HDD) - both will trigger recovery mode

-Data partition changed - both will trigger recovery mode

The only difference is that if my device is in either S4 and S5 mode TXT can still continue to make measurements, and the measurements that TXT allows you to do are very generic unlike standard TPM/Secureboot which only checks for specific parameters.

You also need to understand that FDE is not designed to protect your information in such cases where you lose control of the physical security of the device and do not treat it as untrustworthy afterwards, it's more or less excellent at protecting your data while it's in rest if the device is lost or stolen but that's it.
And while yes secure boot can be bypassed and TPM's could also potentially be broken (which invalidates TXT as well since it uses the TPM as the cryptographic storage device for the signatures) an adversary that can bypass one could most likely bypass the others (you also need to remember that with TXT the measurement plan is stored in the UEFI flash/ram/nvram not in the TPM) and with any system your overall level of confidence should be as high as the weakest component.
There's also a difference from the user perspective. Presumably Google will indicate AMP content in the search results page (with an icon, etc), which will let users know the page will open "instantly." If you build a great mobile site yourself, users will never know that until they actually load your page. I can definitely see myself being more likely to open a result that I know will be performant.

I'll just go to my crib-sheet response: SoundCloud isn't for "mixes" as in DJ sets. That's what MixCloud is for. That's why DJ mixes get kicked off SoundCloud routinely, and I won't fault them for it. MixCloud is for mixes, SoundCloud is for creators, in my opinion.

While we can't archive all the content, the folk at the Internet Archives* are put heroic efforts in preserving the notable content. If Soundcloud doesn't make it, I hope they at least work with the Internet Archive to preserve the data.

I don't think `X-XSS-Protection` is a worthwhile header to have. Every browser with XSS protection has it on by default. OWASP says this only exists to turn it on when a user may have turned it off (I have no idea why they would).

`Content-Security-Policy` is an awesome header, but in truth, it's very easy to misconfigure and even when correctly configured is usually fairly easy to bypass on any non-trivially complex website (for example, JSONP is an effective bypass for CSP). It's still worth looking into.
I am confused because if only text and calls notifications are allowed then an HN mail for a comment shouldn't be a problem. Unless the mail box is `clear' from notifications as well and GP wants to keep it that way.
