My understanding of the argument is that the customer has no privacy interest if somebody they voluntarily gave information to (the phone company) voluntarily gives it to the police.

Which is hard to argue with: if you tell me a secret, you lose the ability to control the information. (you have no "interest" in my willingness to share the secret).

but IANAL, and am happy to be corrected
If it doesn't come from somewhere, it doesn't exist.

When you write that it doesn't have to come from somewhere, you are just arguing that costs (time/money) will be born by the musicians themselves. Basically a donation to society.

The other option being they stop making music.
OK, yes, that is the ultimate vr destination, but like bradhe said, thats not what anyone's talking about. Like you said, that's more like 100 years off (I think its a lot more before the tech is really all there AND people are OK with the seriously invasive surgury that will be required, splicing the optic nerves and such.

But its more reasonable to think well at least get a near-perfect audiovisual virtual reality headset in 20 years. If the numbers you're throwing around here are accurate, then there will be an 80 year stagnation in vr immersiveness, when the headsets are great but anything motion related feels fake, but computer/neural interfaces still limited to prosthetics, or at least out of reach for consumers and not powerful enough for vr.

80 years is a lot longer than TVs have been around, there's plenty of time for graphics card companies to rule the world.

All these problems (as the author mentions) are closely related to lower rates of social connectedness. This is obviously a huge problem, probably the biggest problem in the advanced world, yet it seems to be mostly ignored. My company, Krewe (https://www.gokrewe.com), is addressing it by trying to make it really easy for people to make a new group of friends in their neighborhood and become connected with their local community, but I really think other start ups should try to address the issue of loneliness and (real) social connectedness in the world.

Not the main focus of the article but I've been wondering lately why Japan is considered to have done poorly over the last 30 years economically when a lot of the big multi national brands that are very popular all over the world during that period are Japanese.

I'm not an economist (or Japanese) but from the outside when you can list Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suburu, Shimano, Nintendo, Hitachi, Yamaha, Sega and Murata among your country's well known brands it seems odd that you would be considered a poorly performing economy for so long.

Can anyone share some insight?

World War II, Opium Wars Recorded in Ocean’s Corals
The corruption is of a different nature. It's difficult to compare the corruption of, say, Kim Jong Un with that of David Cameron. In North Korea, the corruption is explicit and the proceeds benefit a small group of people. In the UK, it's systemic and hard to identify who's actually doing the corruption, and who benefits, and how.

It's even harder to identify how to fix it. In North Korea, we could just say "wipe out the leaders and it will fix the problem". In the rich world, the cronies don't belong to any one family, country, or business. It's an international aristocracy consisting of 1000s of people.

If you pay for Youtube Red / Google Play Music, you can get audio only easily on mobile. That's actually why I started subscribing, though now I use it mostly on my laptop. It's essentially 100% covered my music needs since I started.

The search actually seems pretty good to me. I generally find what I want very quickly even with typos, etc. Do you have specific thoughts about it?

UI can definitely be a little wonky for say, browsing a channel I frequently can't find what I want without searching. And the damn auto-playing video on the channel page! I end up having to stop it playing four or five times in short succession the way I use the page.

Anyway, opinions differ.
In the sense that DMCA complaints are presumed valid, you are correct.

In the sense that the company has plenty of time before they are required to respond to a complaint, it is the opposite, obviously no number of DMCA complaints would, by themselves, stop a popular song from being available on YouTube.

Only contentID can do that, and YouTube deploys ContentID at their discretion while being protected by the DMCA from lawsuits.

So when all is said and done DMCA is a real pain for regular people, while not providing the protection which was intended.
Technically speaking, the worst parts is that their SSD is quite slow compared to Macs, and they ship wireless cards that don't support DFS on the 5ghz frequency, that's getting more and more necessary for solid deploy of a 5Ghz network. Not supporting DFS means that you can't use it on a 5Ghz DFS network.

The QHD version has a nice screen but it's hard to use it at its best in Linux, especially when using an external monitor (you can't configure different PPIs on the two monitors because of limitations on X; I know you can try to use Wayland but it's not what it's being shipped; YMMV).

This said, it's obviously a very nice laptop.

Only right wing dogma. The fact that people will have money for basic needs doesn't mean they will have enough money for what they materially want.

They will work whether to have something expensive that they want or for passion, and at least won't work just to survive. That would be overall a better society.
These are role models that I personally very much agree with. At the same time, the industry has need for relatively few people like them. Of course, if every programmer would magically turn into them, that'd be great. But no one turns into them over night. And I think it's obvious that it makes no sense honing yourself into a perfect logical machine of deadly precision, if tomorrow you're still writing the same boring crap. Most programmers have boring jobs. Not because they're bad, but because most software being written is solving boring problems.

I don't think that the average programmer knows less about the law (or any other field) than someone in another non-legal profession, I think that they know about the same amount. But they should know MORE about the other professions, because most programming jobs have to do with commerce, law, design, what have you. Software products almost always have to do with a domain that is not software. A dentist has little use for law in his working life, but a programmer is more likely to profit from a basic understanding.

One thing that is special about the programming profession is that it is very diverse in levels of skill. And that's not only ok, I think that's a good thing.

I think this diversity is connected to a few things, one of them:

Our work product is very cheap to copy, and in the resulting economy, a small difference in utility will lead to huge differences in market share. Given a large market, this makes it reasonable to hone your skills further, where in other professions you'd be facing diminishing returns much earlier. This applies more to software that is widely used -- it has a larger market. Given a small market, this applies much less.
In other, oversimplified, words: if you're writing software that is used (directly, or indirectly) by thousands, it pays off to train yourself for an extra year, even if it increases the utility of your product by only a small percentage. On the other hand, if you're a freelancer building web pages for a local business (a market size of 1), you're not going to profit much from the increase in utility.

Becoming Carmack makes sense in a large market. In a small market, it doesn't make sense to try to dominate it, but to acquire new markets.

This proposal sounds great, but seems to wave its hands furiously about right-of-way and eminent domain. I used to live in Astoria on Ditmars Blvd, and the proposed line would most certainly be going on/over thousands of private residences. I presume their placement is to try and connect this to the end stop of the N subway line, but It's not like Astoria is a junkyard or railyard, it's a dense residential neighborhood with single family and multi-family housing.

This is less of a factor in European countries potentially because they are geographically smaller, have a lower population and more left/socialist leaning that the US.

This is incredibly disrespectful to the professionals in other parts of the developed world who do infrastructure or construction related work.

No, it does not assume a fixed supply of housing. The law of rent revolves around the margin of productivity and already takes into account what you're trying to say.

The wages extractable from the least valuable land would rise by the same amount as anywhere else since basic income would affect everyone's incomes equally. Thus, there would be an excess over the basic level of sustenance and according to this law that excess MUST be swallowed up by rent. The status quo would resume for normal wage-earners, while land-owners would benefit even more than they already do, raising rates of inequality further.
That offshore regulatory thing is interesting for a commercial zone. You can be sure nobody interested in gambling, drugs, money laundering, slavery, tax shelters, IP piracy, bribery, or prostitution would be interested in such a place. Nope, nobody.

If you were around in the 1980s, when Japan was at it's economic peak, Japan has slowly been passed by China and continues to tread water (i.e. stay in the same place, as China has passed it.)

Japan is a poorly performing economy in that there's been little to no growth since the bubble burst in the late 80s. Other economies have gone through growth stages and we had the Asian financial crisis and then the '08 global crash, but Japan has just kept the status quo. So from the perspective of economists, who expect growth, Japan does look bad.

In Japan, life is largely as it has been since the 90s. In fact with deflation, prices are largely the same as they have been for more than 2 decades. This is not a good thing mostly- healthy economies should have some small amount of inflation each year.

Hope this helps? (I am Japanese, fwiw.)
> third-party doctrine, the 1970s-era Supreme Court case holding that there is no privacy interest in data voluntarily given up to a third party like a cell phone provider.

I don't think the issue is how the cell phone companies give the info to the government (voluntarily or involuntarily), but rather that because you, the consumer, "gave" your location info to the cell phone company "voluntarily", you have no privacy rights with respect to that info.

Well sure; but DVCS's don't solve for that problem (or at least, they don't explicitly enable you to work offline). All VCS' allow you to continue to work offline in some form.

DVCS allow you to maintain a workflow; which is a subtly different thing (and if your use case is short-term once per year for each person then is it a critical requirement?).

I'm not arguing against DVCS; far from it. Just trying to point out a bit of a "requirements fallacy" in some of the comments.

You'll have a set of needs (requirements) in your business for an SCM tool. Based on the priority of those requirements then you can make a good choice about which tool to use.

But the existence of such a requirements "a stranded developer couldn't code on the train" doesn't create a global condition where using DVCS is the only choice :)
You keep using this word "musician" but I believe the term you mean to use is "recording artist."

Many musicians are composers whose work ONLY exists as a recording.

The "real series production" presented in the last video-clips seems to include a lot of intensive manual labor in those assembly lines. That in itself should let you assume room for improvement. In the first video (@8:25) there is a part involving two mechanical arms and a press, all moving pretty slowly, i.e. with a lot of waiting. Why is that if the only possible occurrences in there are known and controlled? I tend to assume that the machine-only chambers were set up because of hazardous factors (making human involvement risky) than from efficiency reasons. If that is what factories today are, and considering that Musk is time-pressed to swell the number of assembled cars, it's no wonder he has hard time tolerating it.
The irony is that this tunnel is part of bigger project, a fast north to south rail connection from Germany to Italy. But Germany nor Italy made any progress until today. Just north of the border the high speed trains have to slow down to 60km/h for about half an hour, because this part of the railway track is still from the sixties. The same on the south in Italy. And it doesn't look like this will ever change. Those railway projects don't have enough prestige for politicians.
Great post!

For those learning, make sure you look into removing unused images and containers otherwise you might run into some issues a little farther down the road (eventually our builds started failing).

You can run docker rm and docker rmi to remove specific containers and images respectively, but we also found passing the --rm flag with docker run helped a lot as it removes a container after it exits.

Happy learning!
Where did I mention that my objective was maximizing my influence? The objective is improvement in the society. My influence has nothing to do with it.

The point is, just giving money does not absolve us of our moral responsibility. If I donate with an objective of social good, not just with the idea of dispensing my spare wealth, it is my right and duty to see that my investments give the maximal return, i.e. maximal social good.

Of course I can be wrong/ suboptimal in my investment strategies but then I can improve.

When reading this I thought about how this relates to my own work. Agile software development seemed to come up in my thoughts. Developers (workers) participate in an observational study, with teamwork, metrics, feedback all built in. Perhaps we improve our productivity because of the Hawthorne effect? I think that in a limited way, probably yes.
Wouldn't that be a source of distortions, like highly qualified people doing very undesirable work, just because of the money?
I highly recommend using SourceTree. It's quite slow, but at least it is understandable.

Command-line git just sucks. Partly because the interface is just badly written and inconsistent (Mercurial is much better for example), and partly because version control just fundamentally benefits from a graphical interface, in the same way that a web browser would for example.

Only a madman would use wget to browse the web (yes I know about him). You'd have to be nearly as mad to want to use the git command line.
