I was just thinking about WASTE recently in the last 2 weeks since Trump took office.

WASTE was written in Java and was sort of tricky to setup / understand. At one point about 10 years ago, I had a small 8 person "dark net" running with WASTE, shit was so 1337 for its time.

Bit torrent was just making waves around this time and made downloading WAY faster, but was more risky then sharing directly over WASTE.
To be clear, when I hire I don't care about past non-violent, non-fraud and non-work related convictions.

I am just saying that I think there is a reasonable discussion to be had around businesses discriminating based on conviction (or outstanding warrants). I find it highly offensive to my democratic principles for the government to encourage businesses to pursue those tending to their charges or warrants prior to (potential) conviction.
Not only are they easier to manipulate - they have a conflict of interest when they (for instance) demand that the government pay them money when they don't pay taxes.
Maybe you should study something different. And find a way to turn off the internet.
Because they are two completely different mediums. Popular music is entrenched. If a service doesn't have my music I will not spend hours trying to CHANGE my preferences for "unfound" artists.

You've definitely got the right idea.

It's not mentioned in the video, but mining is also how new currency is generated - Miners are rewarded for finding blocks (thus there is incentive to mine).

And to answer your question - In the early days, miners were hobyists and simply operated at a loss. The value of coins grew roughly along with the "hash power" of the collective network (as you might expect). And at the same time, the reward for finding new blocks is constantly shrinking.
That's not really what I was getting at. My point was that those that do quit <vice> deserve the roughly the same amount of praise as a tall person deserves for being tall.

Why did they have the motivation to give up? Not through some personal moral superiority, but rather it was encoded in their genes. How much control did they have over this encoding? None.
Yes, CTRL-b is the default prefix. The default prefix in screen is CTRL-a, so a LOT of tmux users remap the prefix to match.

Also, CTRL-a is much easier to press, since B is a long way away.

tmux only uses CTRL-b so it won't conflict with screen's shortcut in case you find yourself in a screen session inside a tmux session.
> The message here is clear: Don't protest or you might lose your job.

I think the real message is even more troubling. "Don't protest because it probably won't do anything". Since the late 60's when did protests work as a an effective tactic in US? We've had anti-war protests for Iraq and Afghanistan. We've had Occupy Wall Street, we've had protests against Trump. Have they advanced the cause? I am afraid not.

I think as a tactic to effect social or other change protesting in US has lost its efficiency. That's very troubling indeed.
The music business isn't just about the musical content. Popularity is also driven by artists' branding. Promotion, etc. there's a strong fashion element to popular music that is outside of the scope of Spotify's core competencies.

They'd have to either acquire this or build it from scratch. That takes time.

It's not tech specific. I think it has more finance CEOs than tech, even if we're fairly generous about who's a "tech CEO".
It's an expression containing a public key controlled by the miner.

The way you give value to someone else is by saying, "whoever can make this expression evaluate true can move the funds"

While I like your idea, the major Hollywood studios have no significant stake in Netflix while Spotify has nearly a 20% stake owned by the music labels. I doubt these labels would allow Spotify to create their own content. And if Spotify decided to do it anyway, their negotiations for the major label catalogs would push Spotify even further into the red.
I think it means amortized over 25 years, balance due and payable in 5, meaning you make payments like it was a 25 year mortgage, but after 5 have to pay it off (often, as GP points out, by refinancing.)
It'd be even more of a shame if they destroyed a place where I can get to indie music just as easily as their music, for their own purposes.

Unsurprising, but a shame nonetheless.
Actually it seems like dang was making a moralistic point that I'm not sure about. Sometimes a suggestive, catchy but perhaps uninformative title is linkbait (and should be replaced), but sometimes such a title is not "bait" but instead something we just have to accept as given? Hmmm.
I bet some of the people on the list will have brown hair too.
Tried VOX, but it attempts to do way too much and kept crashing on my machine. The UI is nice enough, but all I want is a media player which lets me add a bunch of folders to watch, which monitors those folders for any files that are added to them and updates the global playlist, lets me queue tracks as easily as Winamp did (just hit 'j', it queues the file and shows the queue position next to the file name), and doesn't try and jam streaming, cloud storage, internet radio, and a billion other useless things down my throat.

Not to mention stuff like VOX Agent, and their system preferences panel - why do I want or need either of those things taking up space and resources on my machine? Why is my MP3 player connecting to the internet at all?

Why do so many developers insist on bloating up their software with so much crud that it becomes necessary to use much older versions? Hell, Nullsoft itself was guilty of that exact issue once AOL squeezed out the massive turd that was Winamp 5 - the last sane version was 2.81.
Ask any merchant who as ever received a chargeback for legitimate goods that they shipped for a credit card payment. Bitcoin has no chargebacks, which is great for merchants who are shipping to somebody they've never met on the other side of the world. VISA costs ~2.7% if you never have any customers who issue chargebacks. But if you're an online retailer, you've probably got an entire fraud department beyond just what VISA charges.

And some services (namely adult services and gambling services) can't get any access to digital payments at all. VISA, Paypal, etc. all block them, despite the fact that these services are entirely legal. Bitcoin makes it possible to use these types of services without some central party deciding that supporting an adult cam site is bad for business.

This is also great for the unbanked. If you are in Africa with no local bank, no government id, etc, something like Bitcoin can enable you where no bank would ever trust you.

And Bitcoin is in fact going in the direction of enabling micropayments. There is a huge upgrade to Bitcoin in the works called the lightning network, which means you basically have to make 1-6 starter transactions on-chain, but after that you can make an unlimited number of micropayments around the network for essentially free.

Nearly no one was arrested and thus put on a watch list for the Women's March. This list is a dumb thing, but it likely will only affect people in protests that get rough.
I was limiting my scope to simple retirement and replacement for older notes that are less counterfeiting-hardened.

Removing overall currency availability is something else altogether (and IMHO indicative of planned government suppression).

I'm not familiar with the EU strategy (another subthread addresses this), but what I'd seek is the removal-by-attrition of vulnerable notes coupled with a hard "expiration date", maybe 2 years or so after passage.
NSIS (created also by Nullsoft) was particularly awesome, made it a breeze to build a Windows installer. There was also a photo gallery script Justin created which I thought was ahead of its time back then.
Why not to learn from java (android) and make simple function like "time.UptimeMillis" that will return elapsed time from system boot?

That's interesting. Thank you for the clarification.

Likewise. I had read of ego depletion before and didn't realize it was having a replication crisis. I like that this article has me update my priors.
You might want to visit your university's advising office and maybe their psychology office as well. With their help, you could explore your motivations for wanting to attend university at this time or maybe other issues that are blocking you.

Attending university is not necessarily the right decision for everyone. A lot of people are pressured in to it by social expectations, families, and peer pressure. They don't have much internal motivation and may really prefer to do something else. Sometimes taking a year or more off to do something else (like travel or work) can be beneficial. Maybe you could come back to school after the break and finish your degree.

I really don't know you or your situation, though, so it's hard to comment without a lot more information. That's why a trip to the advisor's/psychology offices could help much more than a random person's advice on the internet.
Maybe it would work and maybe it wouldn't. And if they catch you, then they will multiply the fine.

What I'd do is just rent out the room, and not pay the fee.

The problem with portability between "clouds" (IaaS/PaaS providers) is that many of them have features (e.g. object storage; Dynamo-based distributed tables; reliable message-queueing; health checks connected to load-balancing and hypervisor lifecycle control),

• which are "obvious" and perhaps even necessary for productive coding of distributed systems software; and

• which have huge economies of scale (one shared cluster for all customers beats the pants off the performance+availability of your company's puny little three-node private cluster), and yet...

• which other major clouds don't support at all.

Effectively, all the "clouds" currently only offer between 30% and 90% of what you'd want in something that called itself "a cloud." Nobody has a "whole cloud" (AWS is closest, but still not there.)

Designing for portability between these clouds would be like writing assembly intended to be portable between processor architectures, when only one architecture had an ALU, only one had registers, and only one could conditionally branch. It would be madness.

---

Personally, I feel like, to be able to sensibly design for portability between cloud providers, they'd need a lot more features in common than they have now.

Maybe we could invent a minimum common standard to hold the cloud providers' stacks to—maybe a small one at first, with a growing list of expectations over time; or maybe a "core" spec, and then a number of "levels" of support atop it. Then you could say you've targeted "IaaS Level 3", and clouds could claim to support that, and cloud-abstraction libraries like Fog could actually do something useful.

The Bitcoin "nonce" is actually a much bigger number than shown in the video. 32 bits I believe.
This is what people thought about streaming video services for a while, until it turned out that was false.

Remember when people used to (and still do sometimes) complain about Netflix not having some specific movie they wanted to watch at the moment?
I feel like both you and the person you responded to failed to read the article.

And you seem to be completely ignoring the environmental factors involved in behavior, which are much more significant than those involved in height (e.g., avoiding malnourishment during the first 20 years of your life). The article mentioned a few of them.
Just wanted to break my normal spot in what could be the silent majority here to agree that the next big thing in streaming music may indeed be someone willing to start their own farm team (to use a baseball analogy).

Some good points have been made as pros and cons, but in my mind something different needs to be done.

what rates of those fixed mortgages do these subsidies provide on average?

To me, massive government subsidies is more like in France where you can have a 0% interest 25 year mortgage if your household income is low enough.

Or the special account which gives a 2.6% fixed interest after having saved some money in a special savings account.
actually the opening comment hit home pretty concisely, i implore you to read the code in question, the examples rasied, and to come back and tell me that you would be happy to work with this code base.

the author themselve states that they are responsible for the majority of commits. this should be a red-flag, itself.
The problem with a lot of this is that it's just a pretext. You have laws against blocking an ambulance, and there are legitimate reasons for that.

But if what you're really after is to prohibit protesting and the thing being protested is near a hospital so you just go around arresting every protester you can find in the street for blocking an ambulance, that's a different situation.
> After lots of discussion about hoards of Chinese buyers, the BC gov't started tracking purchases. It peaked at 13% just before the tax (and most of that was concentrated it the top of the price range).[1] Also, that definition of foreigner is just someone without Canadian citizen or permanent residency.

You can still purchase permanent residence status with cold hard cash in Quebec. A lot of Canadian "citizens" / "permanent residents" are nothing of the kind, they are citizens of convenience. The passport and house is for getting out of Dodge when the sht hits the fan.

Similarly, a lot of multi-million dollar houses are owned by Chinese students.

I'd feel very comfortable betting the truly* foreign percentages is far, far higher than the government is telling us. It took high levels of public outrage before the government finally released a subset of the statistics, if they were really now interested in telling the truth, they'd publish all the metadata available for citizens to examine.
This is impressive. Showing a video of your app running really showcases it.
I was thinking of that study where they basically showed that what was deemed popular was largely determined by availability.

Spotify owns a powerful platform with tons of data about user preferences, they are not completely powerless to flip things on their head and have some say about what is popular.
Well, back to torrenting for the digital and slowly building a vinyl collection for the physical, gonna hold out as long as possible, since the service if fantastic. Nothing in the space , that I've seen, approaches the quality.

This is unfortunate for all, since if labels think they'll see any of the money they currently make off Spotify, they're fucking insane. Nobody likes labels, and all the people I know who are technologically literate enough to torrent music, DO torrent their music. As another commenter said: Milking spotify dry is not seeing the forest for the trees.
Yes. It is.
But Safecast highlights the fact that we don't know if it's rising. Cause Tepco just measured something that has never been measured before.
Agreed, but running a large production company was not originally Netflix's core competency either.

It does seem like Netflix's playbook would be more difficult to copy for music, but still an interesting prospect to consider.
I agree with other commenters that we should post our original content on our own domains. That is what I do and then use social media platforms to point back to my domain.

That said, even with some danger of depending on other peoples platforms, there is a revolution happening that involves platforms that connect creators and users/customers.

I depend on Leanpub and Amazon to publish my eBooks and as a new business I am implementing mobile apps for both Apple's and Google's platforms. In the antifragile sense (from Nassim Taleb's book by that name), even though access to one of these four platforms might go away, access to each being fragile, spreading out over four platforms hopefully makes my business antifragile.
Hi. I just went off and read In Defense of Looting[1], which I'd never seen before, following its mention in your earlier post. It's fascinating. I think you should read it. It presents a very interesting perspective that many might not be familiar with and, despite the title, is not primarily a defense of looting.

Isn't this an interesting idea worth thinking about?
"Looting is extremely dangerous to the rich (and most white people) because it reveals, with an immediacy that has to be moralized away, that the idea of private property is just that: an idea, a tenuous and contingent structure of consent, backed up by the lethal force of the state."

I don't think looting is a good idea, but I do think reading that essay is. Possibly Deeray McKesson felt the same way.

There is a group who have proposed a solution to this problem for decades:

Shrink the state.

Until people stop believing that any effort to do so will result in everyone literally dying in the street, the state will grow. Until people's first impulse towards someone doing something they don't like ceases to be "there ought to be a law", the state will grow. Until people stop demanding that laws must affect the entirety of the country instead of just their state, the state will grow.

What sort of government did we start with? "A republic, if you can keep it." according to Ben Franklin.

We didn't keep it.

Keep it small, keep it close, and recognize that there are limits to the problems a bureaucracy can solve. Be suspicious of all power. Be suspicious of all taxation. A massive government can, and does, wield incredible fortune like a weapon against the population.

Shrink the state until politicians are no longer worth buying and it barely matters who holds the reins. Trust your neighbor a lot more and your government a lot less.

Or do none of this, but don't ask why nobody told you this could happen. Because we did, and you laughed at us and told us we were juvenile, loathsome, heartless people.
this is an interesting concept
This reminds me of a similar problem we had in Bulgaria, a long time ago. Many rich land owners and hotel tycoons teamed up and basically made it illegal to go on the beach, plant your own umbrella, and spend the day there. Tickets, time limits... Gosh. There was a lot of outrage but of course, nothing changed.

Things changed slightly when those beaches got almost empty one particular summer (sorry, can't remember the year). But then the politicians intervened and helped the land/hotel owners make our beaches more foreign-friendly -- better, quicker, more reliable transportation, more restaurants, more bars on the beach, better service. And the foreigners started flocking.

From then on, a good chunk of Bulgaria's beaches are a paradise for foreigners while us the Bulgarians have to scour the beach line for a place to get some sun. Admittedly there are still a good amount of places where this craziness doesn't exist but a lot of beaches are practically out of limits for us now.

TL;DR -- this article sounds like somebody influential is concerned about the economy on/around the beaches. I might be wrong.
Totally. Rather than a "nice to have", this might be an existential situation for Spotify. (I couldn't say confidently without seeing their financial statements)

Or you could avoid being a social pariah and go about your life normally. There's nothing wrong with that.

Personally I have no interest in my workplace being a haven for "social justice warriors," whatever that even means. Sounds like a euphemism for bored layabouts that need something better to do than spread hateful propaganda over Twitter/Facebook and generally be a nuisance to "raise awareness."
I think the point is that Spotify would need to have a promotion competency in addition to a production one. "Interesting music" is far more subjective than "interesting movies".

If this kind of crap actually becomes popular I give it 10yr before people realize that police arrest tons of people for tons of things and a disturbingly large amount if it is just them "mildly" abusing their power and whatever it is eventually gets dropped. This will be especially true when all the (rich, white) college kids who's only brush with the law is being in the wrong place at the wrong time start hitting the job market. Eventually people will hopefully demand that the cops stop acting that way.
Check out https://github.com/thoughtbot/rcm. It has a hook system, so you can have it automatically run commands to install external dependencies – stuff like vim or Emacs plugins.
It depends.

Does it include future updates? Are they pushed out to clients automatically? Does it include product support? Is it at least as easy to use as the pirated version (i.e. no intrusive DRM)? Is it at least as easy to obtain?

If you can provide a service that can't easily be copied for less, generally people will pay for it.
