Responsive design is the design ideal of not having two separate sites -- one for mobile and the other for desktop -- but rather just being able to visit one site and have its CSS dynamically adjust so that it looks good in all screen sizes.
Depends on exactly what you're setting up.

If you're doing the collection, and making that data available - I would be very interested.
If it's the framework to do collection myself - not so much.

There just isn't adequate satellite internet worldwide to trust that system just yet. Airplanes don't even broadcast their coordinates to satellites in many airlines, despite existing networks likely (ie Iridium) being able to handle the small increase in data (if they kept the packets small - just flight number/lat/lon - and let the satellites figure out where to send and what time the packets come, the total size from all flights worldwide every hour could still remain under 200mb)

There are actually two big questions here that seem fairly tied together, but practically speaking are totally separate when it comes music online.

1. How much money should consumers/advertisers
be charged for access or proximity to music?
2. How much money should artists, publishing companies,
record labels and other rightsholders be paid for
that access?

Those two definitely seem related. As a theoretical floor on #2 the rightsholders have lots of leverage and so should be able to negotiate for fair (or better than fair) payouts from #1. As a theoretical ceiling on #2 you shouldn't be able to pay out more money than you make from #1.

In reality, the actual floor on how much rightsholders get paid is only up for negotiation if the music comes as a result of interactive streaming from music provided by the rightsholders (read: Spotify). If it's internet radio, where the user doesn't choose what they hear (non-interactive, read: Pandora) the rate is set by Congress regardless of the business income or rightsholder desires. And if it's user-generated content subject to the DMCA (read: YouTube) there's no clear need to pay anything to the rightsholders (see Grooveshark). So, there are tons of arguments about #2.

As far as #1 goes, there's never been a music company that got to million-user scale and was long-term profitable, so clearly companies (and their investors) are willing to send more money out the door than they make. Fixed-rate subscriptions have a perverse property that your best users by engagement metrics are your worst users financially--they cost you the most with all that listening. Advertisement-based monetization matches consumption to revenue, which is nice, but as Pandora and Spotify will both attest, the revenue from ads thus far is way short of what they or the rightsholders would like.

So what to do? Talk about it in the press and see if you can get public outcry to force someone to pay your company more?

I am curious to see how a16z's investment results eventually pan out. I don't believe any of their funds have gone through a full cycle, nor have they experienced a down market, so its still too early to declare him a top dawg.

His "twitter schools" parrot things like Buffett's shareholder letters pretty closely ("When the tide goes out, we find out who's been swimming naked."), so at least at an intellectual level he gets it, but his investment behavior contrasts this strongly, where he seems willing to pay any price for growth. Unfortunately this is common in the investment world, where everyone is a value investor in words, but rarely in behavior.

I guess I am mostly interested to see how the "founder as rockstar" thesis that is central to a16z works in practice.
To me, the trick with closing the resource sounds like a hack.

Imagine you wanted to generalise it: We have a goroutine that may use some resources: sockets, files, keyboard, screen etc. To shut it down you cut it off from all those resources and hope that it will die.

It sounds wrong somehow.

Elon Musk – Full Interview – Code Conference 2016 (Video)
I goofed with this comment -- it was supposed to be a reply to a sdrapkin's comment, not a reply to the article. Not quite sure how I did that.

Inferno, which sdrapkin cited as an example of crypto done right, offers this API:

public static byte[] Encrypt(byte[] masterKey, ArraySegment<byte> plaintext, ArraySegment<byte>? salt = null)

The docs suggest:

The "salt" parameter can include Additional Data (AD) or its hash - which will also be authenticated.

This is, in my opinion, not okay as a high-level easy-to-use primitive, as it leaks information if you don't properly use the salt.

EDIT: I read the source (https://github.com/sdrapkin/SecurityDriven.Inferno/blob/mast...), and Inferno's primitive is randomized. This avoids the info leak, but it's likely to be a decent amount slower as a result, and the primitive needs a good RNG. As a result, it might be vulnerable to failure if the application uses fork(), it's awkward to implement on some embedded platforms, etc.

The point of nonce-misuse-resistant encryption is to reduce the damage from nonce reuse, not to give you an excuse to ignore nonces entirely for encryption of arbitrary data.

I work in a business that provides ACH services. This article over dramatizes the risk of fraud.

First, for a business to even use ACH, they need a bank account to receive payments. This involves an underwriting process and a cash reserve for any returns.

Second, businesses have daily limits they can process. This is usually well below their cash reserve.

Finally, any hint of fraud will cause the bank to drop them like a hot potato and seize their reserves for a period of time to ensure sufficient funds to process any returns. One example of fraud indication is a high return rate

And the only reason they've been able to reach $4B in AUM so quickly is because record-low interest rates and stagnating growth in the developing world have created a rush of capital to Silicon Valley looking for any semblance of alpha.

The real question we should be asking is what sector of the economy all this roving capital will target next, when it becomes clear that tech startups can't live up to the promises of the VCs.

> I guess I am mostly interested to see how the "founder as rockstar" thesis that is central to a16z works in practice.

That's just a sales message used to get gullible and desperate founders to take money from them without giving it a second thought. When things go south, like they did for Zenefits (YC W13), a16z won't be so nice anymore:

I used to work for the largest provider of bank bill pay in the US (contracted with ~80% of banks, IIRC). I would say that 95% of customers using the service had no clue how it actually works.

In fact, the default payment method of bank bill pay is to mail a paper check. Sometimes they cut a check with your account information, sometimes they will go ahead and pull the money from your account, but send a check drawn from their corporate account. Sometimes they mail the check 2-3 days before your payment date, so that (in theory) it has time to get there, sometimes not. The only time they send electronic payments is of the payee has set up electronic payments with them, and even then they may decide to switch your payment to a check at any time for any reason.

What makes it even worse is that they try very hard to make sure customers have no way to tell how their payments will be processed, and there's never any kind of warning that something has gone wrong until you get a call about a late bill. For example, even your payment should be sent electronically, something as simple as a typo in the account number so it doesn't match the expected length or format might result in them sending a check to your payee (with the wrong account number), meaning that your payment sort of vanishes...

Personally I always set up payments through the payee's site, using a credit card whenever possible. If they screw up the payment then it's their problem to fix.

Market dominance isn't a monetization strategy.
Is there any source to confirm "Facebook as a company doesn't have high levels of consumer trust"? I even find hard to understand what consumer trust means in a precise way.
I see it the opposite way. Using Messenge could give you a great way to use facebook without subjecting yourself to the News Feed Giant Tentacled Monster.

Why not use Messenger without Facebook?

My reason not to use Facebook was because it trivializes friendships. With Facebook, I wouldn't have to go out of my way to be "friends" with someone, so the relationship would be less meaningful. But Messenger doesn't share that property --- you have to bother to click on someone's name and you have to bother to think up a good message to send them. That means it's no worse than any other IM client, with the strong advantage that your real-world friends already use it. You get to keep up with them in the way you want to, and they get to keep up with you in the way they want to.

Best of both worlds?

You can still own a car just not a polluting one.
Personally I have a petrol car that I use to drive to and from an island called Hidra (south in Norway, about 400 km from here), but there is absolutely no need for a petrol car to do this.
The only reason I didn't buy a tesla is because the build quality of that car felt really bad when I did a test drive, however in 2025 I suspect there to be long distance electric cars made by proper car companies like mercedes or audi.

And even on that island with only ferry connection and 600 residents there is an hourly bus going the whole day to the local mainland town.

The EIA weekly status report has domestic production at 8.7mbpd, imports at 7.4mbpd and exports at 0.5mbpd, which doesn't really count as a net exporter (or I don't think so at any rate).

There are more exports of finished products than there are imports, but that's not really the same thing... refinery capacity is much more a function of money than oil production.

(as an additional point: 40% of the total US oil consumption is a lot more oil than Canada produces each day! - I expect 40% of the total imports are from Canada.)

This reminds me of the literary technique of explaining philosophical concepts via a dialog. Gallelio's Dialog Concerning Two World Systems[1][2] was the specific example that comes to mind [an example of "natural philosophy" which was what science was before it was science]. The literary technique goes back into the Ancient world, e.g. Plato.

It's truly mind boggling that airlines don't do this. Given the cost of an aircraft and the value it represents, surely the data cost is more than worth it. I hope MH370 has changed the mindset of airlines and aircraft manufacturers.

I know that pilots are against live streaming, always on voice recorders in the cockpit due to privacy concerns but surely there are ways to regulate access to that (eg: it goes to the safety regulator of the airline's country of governance and is held for 48 hours, released only if an accident occurs).

I don't put a server into staging use let alone production use without having comprehensive monitoring in place for CPU, memory, etc. Putting a $200mm+ aircraft in the sky without monitoring every single thing in real time with multiple layers of redundancy seems unbelievably insane.

I am and I've been in similar situations if not worse.

The best suggestions (although you can find some great ones here) that I've received that helped me keeping afloat have been:

- don't overwork yourself, 7-8 hours a day is enough
- plan ahead
- keep a small to-do list of (top) three achievable things to be done by the end of the day
- outside of work, focus on things that makes you feel better, like good friends and manual hobbies
- get a good night sleep
- eat heathy

Hope this helps.
