Humility and a collaborative attitude are really important to get the best results.

When people attack your code, it isn't an attack on you. It makes your code better. It's one of the downsides to releasing any opinionated project (and many good projects are opinionated).

For my part, I won't use software written by someone who doesn't either refute criticism or use it to improve code, and I'm not satisfied you're doing either of those.
A pointer isn't the object. Don't confuse the finger with the moon.
Honestly it's a scarcity thing, aside from the art point. It goes back to the tradition of the bards - walk around, play a tune in a new place, get some food and a place to stay, move on. Live entertainment has very strong traditions. Regarding "less of an art" - there's a lot of things that can be done in a studio to make a musician/act seem superior.

But then it doesn't re-order? That seems to limit the experience.
I think linking to a re-upload is weirdly in spirit with the comic's sentiment.

Though I never quite understood which interpretation was intended:

* Creator shows their work to someone, who goes on claiming it's their own work.

* Someone shows "their work" to the original creator, who then realizes it's actually their work.
"Dealing with variance" is the same as dealing with mean average deviation.

Variance is "super useful" when one works with Gaussian distributions, and overusing variance is part of the greater problem of overusing Gaussian distributions and Euclidean distances.

> I sue that person and win. Does this sound correct to you?

Sure. That's plausibly reasonable. The API definition is significantly more detailed that just the method names. The metal box maker could easily have created their own API. But instead they use an API created by someone else.

* Compiling against headers is an important issue. That would be bad. I raised this question in the last thread but it didn't seem to be an issue.

* A closed S3 API seems fine to me. Amazon doesn't have an obligation to make switching easy. At the same time they'd have incentives to make their API open to encourage people to start using S3. Permissive open source software is exceptionally popular these days. If Amazon wants to write a closed API that presents an opportunity for someone else to write an open API.

* I think we'd be in a much better place if software could NOT be patented but APIs were copyrighted. Implementation code is already under copyright.

* I don't think "got there first" is a real concern. TCP and UDP both define connect(), send(), and receive(). But they are radically different APIs with radically different specifications.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. This is a good discussion.

This is an argument for killing it off then?
"Spits out money" isn't a business strategy. They've simply found distribution to be more profitable than production.
"Free" is the price the majority of users on Spotify (and elsewhere) think is right. In general, consumers have learned that "music should be free!". The fee that Spotify asks for isn't for music; it's for an ad-free, more pleasurable, and more valuable experience. The music is still offered for free!
It's not about hacking your email even. A significant amount of SMTP traffic still goes around unencrypted so just seeing that traffic fly by is enough to get the password.
This is probably just Content ID.

So there the problem is that Youtube gives preferential treatment to their more profitable users, they don't have to submit a legal document to Youtube, they just flag the content and are done.

I bet there was never even a human in this particular loop.
agree. You have to wonder if these articles come up as a way to draw people in to looking back at the theory to justify their use. A sort of "trolling" to get people back on board thinking of the theory and not just the use. Both forms of deviation measurement have their use, along with the other many forms of deviation measurement used in stats.

When you have a product, you have 2 solutions:

- Make changes that annoy some users

- For fear of annoying anyone, keep adding without ever removing, increase the number of settings, in other words bloat. Until a new, "lighter" alternative products comes and everyone moves out from your bloated product

So yes, by removing features that they realized weren't good one, they're keeping the product simple.
Every entertainment book I've ever read by a successful and intelligent musician or writer has emphasized, time and again, to get a really, really, really, really good lawyer. Or, in the case of Willie Nelson, two of them. Thomas Lennon (Reno 911, The Odd Couple) wrote a screenplay guide and said, paraphrased, "Oh our lawyer is a really nice guy and we like him - he's just not afraid to rip your heart out and eat it in front of you."
Maybe we can say that they love musicians, but love business even more? Sort of like the way many CEOs in S.V./S.F. love software developers but love business even more.

I've said it before, and it bears repeating here: ContentID is not, has not been, and will never be the DMCA. It was developed by YouTube so Viacom would drop the suit that would likely have stripped YouTube's safe harbor protections under the DMCA.

ContentID takedowns are not DMCA takedowns. They operate on a different, much less strict standard. Anyone that works with YouTube can flag any video for any reason (see Scripps taking down a public-domain NASA video[0]), and the content is removed immediately without giving the initial uploader a right to contest it (it can be restored laterº. A YouTube user has way fewer rights under ContentID than they do under the DMCA. If you are found in violation of ContentID, you must fight both YouTube and the claimant to have your case heard under the DMCA.

Which big/well-known companies have remote workers?
Hi HN, I'm interested in trying remote working. I started looking at job ads and I'm getting the impression that the only companies that hire remote workers tend to be startups or small companies. Is that accurate?

If you've worked remotely for a big company, what did you think of it?
For me? No. For someone in poverty eating ramen, mac-and-cheese, and rice/beans all the time? Sure. $20 is a lot of money for plenty of people in this country.

I'd love to see evidence how the US has a history of undervaluing musicians. You'd normally observe that through a decline on the supply side. However, supply is not an issue at all.

The author probably just wanted to say that he wants more money for his own work. ..that's understandable, but meaningless.
Well, the author says that he had been an advocate and even educator on design patterns, yet also admitted that he has never read the definitive (GoF) work on the subject. IIRC, the book's preface declares the very thing the author "discovered" for himself and thought to share.

If you started reading the book, and gave up after 2 minutes, you would still have learned this lesson. So, yes, it shouldn't have to be said.
It's hard to take a post seriously when the author thinks project management methods didn't exist before 1999. This stuff has been going on since the 60s or earlier.

Replace music with anything served over the Internet: news, movies, photography, art, etc.

Will this become unsustainable at some point? Money is definitely flowing on the Internet, but not necessarily into the pockets of the content producers.

In fact, this article glosses over the fact that the RIAA used to have such a huge stranglehold over the industry that they were the ones profiting off the musicians, wasn't this why Prince was "formerly known as" for a long while?
In typical Ars fashion, this is a pretty comprehensive summary of the case so far.
It's the same situation in Korea, just a different mechanism. The refugee crisis that would result from a DPRK collapse would land on China's doorstep, so the Chinese will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening. U.S. tourists (or any tourists for that matter) not going to the DPRK won't change that.

What might change the situation is people in the DPRK meeting U.S. tourists and seeing with their own eyes that we are not the monsters we have been made out to be. Big societal changes can grow from small seeds of doubt.

Going of on a tangent here:

My current apartment has similar a railroad layout from your picture. I absolutely love it. I keep the "parlor" area neat and clean (which is where front door is). When I have people over, they usually don't come further then that.

Like the monarchs of old, the deeper I allow you in my residence, the more I favor you. From the parlor, a door leads to the kitchen. Most people don't have business there, so I can leave dishes in the sink and what not. And behind kitchen, a door leads into the holiest of holiest, the bedroom. You're a lucky devil if you made it all this way, nudge nudge.

My apartment before this had a more contemporary layout, was even a little bigger, with open kitchen-living room, bedroom/bathroom organized around central hallway. It kind of stunk. Everything sort of was the same, it was difficult to compartmentalize, so when I ended up cleaning I ended up doing the entire thing. There was no progression, no differences in "formality", so the entire thing gave itself away the moment you walked in.

It must be fiendishly hard to design commodious living spaces within a small square footage, but I've become a fan of those shotgun layouts, it works well IMO!

But what? The problem with the constant doom is that we get exhausted. At least in the US all we truly care about is war and old people (looking at where the money goes; http://whatwepayfor.com/).

Spotify's Free to Premium conversion rates are, in my opinion, not terrible. Would be interesting to see the YouTube and SoundCloud numbers eventually, sure.

Think about it though - terrestrial radio already offered music for free. Dozens of stations! All sorts of genres!

The only difference is the RIAA/major players had - practically speaking - an iron grip on controlling what was being played on those stations. Thus the free music was an enticement to purchase more objects related to that act. Live shows, t-shirts, etc.

Believe me, there's a lot more money in branding than there is in selling music. Jessica Simpson has made insane truck-loads of money on her fashion line - enough to make her music sales probably look like a rounding error. Free music isn't new to the internet, I guess is what I'm getting at.

They're not breaking it. It's click-to-play, same as in Firefox by default.
I think of bootcamp in the same terms of the finance bootcamp I took coming out of college. It was a 1 month program mandated by my employer as focused learning. Both have been supplements to my undergrad, not replacements. The ones you mention I see more as a trade school, which I think is a different and potentially viable career path. The reason I say viable is because:

"Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity"

It's my favorite terminology from undergrad. It's from time series analysis. My job coming out of college was as an equities trader. It's hard to get much more time series analytical than that, and yet I never used it even once. Had I gone into quantitative finance, I'm sure I'd use it constantly. 95% of us just use our undergrad as a permission slip to join the real world, CS included. They hand out those permission slips like candy. Most people end up as accountants, not mathematicians. You don't need to know parametric equations to calculate EBIDTA.

It's not a waste of time if it's something you're interested in and you're intelligent enough to use it. It IS a waste of time getting an engineering degree if you think it will give you a leg up on competing for a welding job.

> You don't need EME to play video, HTML5 video can be played just fine without it.

I'm quite aware of that but consider it from the perspective of a normal user using a non-Apple/Google/Microsoft browser:

1. Click on a link on YouTube, Hulu, etc. It's not DRMed, so it just works.

2. The next thing in the playlist is DRMed (e.g. it's premium, owned by a more restrictive publisher, etc.) and it doesn't play.

For people like us, step 3 might be “Decide you didn't want to play it that much” or “Complain to the provider”.

For the vast majority of users, step 3 is more like “Give up on Firefox and use Chrome/Edge/Safari”. How many of them will eventually stop using Firefox in the first place?

That's the real problem here – even if Firefox had 90% marketshare, it would evaporate quickly because switching is easy, users have a bunch of reasonable quality options, and most users don't feel that they're getting a bad deal.

EDIT: note that I'm not saying this is how I'd like it to work, only that anyone who thinks DRM is unjust needs to think about the millions of Netflix subscribers and both why and how those people should spend their $9/month elsewhere.

Ok, can you share how you tried to market it?

When a product generates ROI, people will use it. Target the marketers who use leadpages, unbounce, etc, if it works, they will use it.

Register to StackThatMoney forum, the biggest private affiliate marketing forum, they work with landing pages all day long. Post your product there, I guarantee 50 sales in 2 months from there.

You need to target people with high traffic on their landers, i think the product is good(if it delivers), but you failed at sales and marketing....not on the idea.

Nobody wants your product because you are targeting the wrong people, that's my thought.
A more philosophical shebang that I like is

I don't know what Taleb is referring to, but I assumed it was something related to this line:

>In fact, whenever people make decisions after being supplied with the standard deviation number, they act as if it were the expected mean deviation.

That is, I suspect he means that if you gave them equations or data and asked them to run some computations on them, they wouldn't mess up the two. But if you were to then say, "okay, what does this result tell you to do when you're buying groceries at the super market?" they would then make that decision incorrectly.

This isn't to dismiss the problem. Just I don't think he's saying it's quite what you think he's saying. Too bad Taleb didn't write more on either of these two lines. (Well, chances are he did, but I just don't know where.)

This particular video seems like a nice test case of the review system.
This week's "number one" song by Rhianna has "moved" 54,000 copies, and those numbers are almost certainly as inflated as possible.

From Forbes:

"Anti rules the Billboard 200 with just 54,000 equivalent units moved. If that figure was comprised only of actual sales, it would make it one of the lowest-selling number one albums of all time, but it’s actually a combination of both pure purchases and streams. When looking solely at sales, Anti sold a paltry 17,000 copies. Yes, that’s right—the number one album in the largest music market in the world sold just 17,000 units."
It's much more universal than that. Variations on this proverb occur in many, many cultures and languages:
