Playing politics as a retailer seems like a deal with the devil. At some point parties and power shift, and you are attached to a side now. They should know better. Unless your biz is directly political, maybe you should focus on your sector instead of chasing popular fancy in unrelated areas. The correct answer is to actually let the market decide, not the marketing.
The market also includes miners. Do they appear excited to activate Segwit? As I understand it, they're waiting for a HF blocksize proposal to go with it.

Many of the businesses in that list that preparing for Segwit, but would still prefer that scenario as well (including many of those with the largest user bases).

Lastly, I'm in the technical bitcoin community. I agree most of us are in support of Segwit- just the show of hands at Satoshi Roundtable this year made that clear- but many of us would also like to see a block size increase, and the dev / miner impasse ended.

EDIT: Segwit signalling by miners is currently < 25%. https://blockchain.info/charts/bip-9-segwit
When I say 'technical' - I mean everything from: politics, law, technology/tools, economics, education, medicine, infrastructure, employment etc. All these areas are being homogenised (or standardised) for progress and it's on a global scale. If you want to read more, there's an old book called "The Technological Society" by Jacques Ellul - it's a sociology book, there are many similar ones but that one sort-of covers the topic the best.

Time to mention https://microg.org/ / https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12864429 again. It's a FLOSS re-implementation of Google Play Services. It offers e.g.:

* Optional completely offline geo location service via an on-phone database which often preserves battery and even works when no internet access is available. Online backends using e.g. Mozilla Location Service are also available

* The often unavoidable Push notifications via Google Cloud Messaging while only sending minimal identifying data

* The Analytics (tracking) and Ad parts are simple stubs which avoid app crashes but do nothing else

I would not let anyone close to the code I'm working on if he wanted to verify whether a properly generated UUID clashes with some previously generated UUID.

You could just as do stuff like "int x=1; assert(x == 1);" and so on. And it would be just as futile.

There are other big areas where it's seriously lacking content:

1) Modern contemporary electronic music, which is usually available vinyl only.

2) Classic albums in their original form. When there's a remaster, Spotify typically only has the remaster, original was either never there or will be removed when remaster is out.

Now, when you start to invest to your sound system even a bit (not talking about 100k wires here), you notice the lack of dynamics in many remasters. The originals just sound better with good soundsystem, not so much with below-average systems.

When I listen to music, I like to have the best possible master from it. And preferably lossless, or that I have the control of the compression parameters and format. I guess Spotify will take the masses, but I'm not the only serious listener who prefers my own files and physical copies.

Streaming is handy, but you can do a lot of things already with big hard disks with your computers, some syncing NAS system (as in Synology), beets[0] and a big enough microSD in your phone.

Ask HN: Why LinkedIn's UI is so terrible?
Whole Foods just opened a new store in North Berkeley that no one wanted, and was in the midst of four! other natural grocery stores. They then had the gall to offer almost entirely their 365 brand of subpar products, compared to the very premium offers of their counterparts in the area. They are somewhat busy, but never packed, as locals all prefer the far better offerings at neighborhood locations.

As soon as they opened that store I realized someone at HQ was either clueless or arrogantly thought theyd just move in and dominate. Looks like they are getting their just desserts.

A web server runs applications, a load balancer distributes incoming traffic. They have different purposes.

Almost every public website in existence use multiple web servers and load balancers to balance between them. That's the only way to do failover and handle more traffic than a single box can take.

It does. It is intended to mimic handwriting in blackboards. I use it for slides when teaching or presenting to informal audiences.

If you don't like it, a good alternative to Computer Modern is Latin Modern. A nice derivative which is not so thin. Reading long Computer Modern texts gets a bit tiring for my eyes. I think some editors like LyX default to Latin Modern instead of Computer Modern.

Aside, The Art of Prolog uses an amazing Lucida variant. It'd be my favorite for math texts if it was free.
"The word shard means a small part of a whole."

The idea is breakup uuid keys into

In my communities we called the library-style dbs "embedded". I've seen serverless used in this way but it didn't seem common.
That seems to be the problem from the article. Whole Foods had seen its profits drop due to competition, so it has to ditch the "do the right thing ethically" to maintain its profit margin.
Interesting project and a good lesson in why careful data tracking is so valuable. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the traction!
I'm not the friend (nor am I a libertarian), but YES.

Don't tolerate hypocrisy for hypocrisy's sake, but recognize when it's pragmatic to tolerate it to either move things in the correct direction or simply to limit how far they slide in the wrong direction.
In this case, you are relying on what installed program or function is called when you invoke uuid in the shell. It seems reasonable to me to check if it is having sensibly, if the reliability of your program counts on it. I have no idea what dodgy uuid programs you might find installed.

But that's not politics being ignored- this is still a group of humans who couldn't come to an agreement after much politicking. That's politics being exhausted.

This is hugely regional, and depends on both supply and demand. When I grew up in Michigan, there were huge produce "stands" that were overflowing with fresh food. I remember one place, that's still in business, where the sweet corn was on a big trailer, and was going so fast that they left the trailer hooked up to a tractor with the engine running, and when it was empty, the next tractor pulled in with a full trailer. The tomatoes were heavenly. And so forth. Four cash registers running full tilt.

I believe a big factor was demand. People in Michigan loved their fruits and veggies. Same in northern Indiana when I went there.

Then I moved to Texas... nothing. The quality of veggies at the store was poor -- often rotting. Even at the flagship Whole Foods in Dallas. Granted, that was going on 20 years ago. People didn't eat vegetables.

Then I moved to Wisconsin. You'd think, but no. Conditions for growing veggies should be just fine in WI, but there's no demand. I've met lots of people who have never eaten a green vegetable.

We have Saturday "farmers markets." These are common in affluent towns. Each "farmer" has a little booth, and prices are astronomical. There's a little bluegrass band, and lots of the booths are selling... prepared foods, such as muffins. A plus side is that folks have recommended talking to the meat vendors. They will agree to supply you with a quantity of meat, anything you want, and it will be good stuff.
Of course distribution channels matter. If the labels own part of the distribution they don't mind if the distributors give a smaller cut back to the label and artist than another channel. They are able to keep that ownership of their distribution percentage away from the artist, it's the whole reason Spotify was originally so guilt-inducing to people concerned about artist's being treated fairly.
> I don't really see why the whole foods hate is so hip

I think it's probably because they tried to capitalize on selling "non-GMO" products, which is a huge marketing scam that some consumers are finally wising up to.

Don't believe me? Go find me some GMO oranges. Or GMO cilantro. Or GMO chocolate. Or GMO lettuce. Or GMO anything other than corn and soybeans.

Want to know why you can't find them? Because they don't exist. That doesn't stop companies like Whole Foods from slapping a "non-GMO" label on them and charging 2x the price of Safeway.

People waste a lot of time arguing over charges of hypocrisy. In practice, it ends up being a way of shifting the conversation from the argument that someone is making to the person who is making it.

Hypocrisy isn't great, but practically everyone has been guilty of it in one way or another. So it's an easy charge to make that gets everyone worked up.

I don't know if we should tolerate hypocrisy, but I'd be in favor of talking about it less in favor of more direct and productive arguments.

Spectrum auctions are one of the more famous results of economics theory, and the first thing that people think of when they think of Ronald Coase (who won a Nobel and is up there in the pantheon of 20th century economists).
Long time member of BSAC here. The classic example I use when describing this to students is torch batteries. If you're at home and you notice that your dive light batteries are flat, no biggie, just swap them out. If you notice while on the boat that's a bit more annoying, but the chances are someone will have a spare you can borrow, and if they don't, you will have to miss the dive, which is unfortunate but you're not in any danger. If you're in the water, you can still call the dive (abort and return to the boat). But if you're at 50m and entered a wreck and your buddy has just swum round a corner taking their light with them and you switch yours on and nothing happens, then you have the rest of your life to try and find the way out.

Same, seemingly trivial, failure, but very different consequences depending on at which point of the dive you notice it.

By the way I mainly dive with GUE now who mandate a primary light and two backups as part of standard kit!

Note that I never said the healthcare system will make you go bankrupt and you need to be rich to get care. That's a strawman you've been fighting from the beginning.

> "Money has little to do with it."

Again, you are severely out of touch with the existence of many Americans if you think money has nothing to do with it. I guess the poor ones aren't actually poor if they would just stop spending money on vices? You would do well for yourself if you stop looking at anecdotes of people you know, and start looking at the generalized case of the hundreds of millions Americans across socioeconomic classes.

The disappointing truth is that there are indeed many hard-working Americans (many of them immigrants...) who bust ass all year long, and they don't have money to pay for even a high deductible plan. They can barely make rent. And if they did, those plans still result in many tens of thousands of $s in the event of a severe hospital stay. These are the people where a single chain of events can push them into severe poverty with no easy way out.

If you read HN then you'll know this stuff is happening, and a lot of people are talking about just how hard it is to climb these days for the bottom %s of America. Just a few months ago, we're now at the point where potential to climb, social mobility is lower than our grandfather's generation?

I would like to invite you to read some of the work done by David Belk MD and see if that changes your seemingly cavalier attitude that it's "not that bad". Here's a former comment of mine with some links. The system is very inefficient, with a lot of corruption, and people like you are genuinely hurting people by fighting as if it's otherwise.

You are right the term is person. And they do not have all human rights. I am no expert in the US constitution either.

An extra $20B in income for the Government that the carriers will then spend the better part of the next 10 years recouping through their usual business practices like maintaining quasi-monopolies, ridiculous usage limits, massive over-subscription, anti-net-neutrality practices like "most favored streaming service" and other regressive, growth-inhibiting moves.

There is this "pure capitalist" ring to allocating spectrum through auction but the practical effects have been devastating. It's trading $20B in income now for stifling the growth that dumb, unrestricted, fast mobile pipes would offer to the remainder of the economy.
My perspective is maybe a little different from the rest of the country's. In NYC all of the stores are really expensive and quality control is pretty bad. Produce and product choices are limited and quality is absolutely terrible. Whole Foods is actually one of the less expensive grocery stores. The quality is easily the best in the neighborhood. The employees are noticeably nicer, and I can pay with my phone. They do have some local suppliers, which Gristedies doesn't. Lastly, and probably least important to everyone but it's a pet-peeve of mine, the ice cream hasn't thawed and frozen in to a brick (a common side-effect of living on an island, frozen things get melted).
How much is piracy currently affecting revenue? It may be the case that improved sales will improve revenue more readily than reducing piracy. Increase sales sufficiently, and the cost of software licensing solutions may become much more palitable.

Good luck.
Does anyone actually know for sure if Apple ever updated the APFS preview code since WWDC seed? I feel like we're like 2-3 years behind of Apple right now on the status of APFS for macOS.

The fact that it's booting right now on iOS devices with 10.3 Beta with zero issues should tell us that the current APFS build at Apple is already way ahead of what we know about it and Apple did announce that all platforms will be using APFS this year.

So I'm wondering if they're going to release the final preview in 10.12.x at all or it'll be in 10.13 and auto-converted like iOS 10.3.

You must be kidding. Did you even read that article???

It confirm that you need 100k€ to deal with Vanguard Europe directly, that you get double taxation (USA tax then home country tax) on your returns, and you take all the risks on the currency exchange, and that's just the beginning of the article...

So, I'll repeat it again, the USA investments are NOT available in Europe and the equivalents are mostly non existent or sub-par.
> Might be beta, but supposedly iOS 10.3 (the next major release) will ship APFS for iOS devices…

More than "supposedly", I'd say—if you're using the iOS 10.3 beta now, your phone's filesystem has already been updated to APFS. :)

So … why don't you just support those artists at Bandamp?

In fact that is exactly my current pattern: wen lazy, conveniently discover [1] and browse more famous artists at Spotify and purchase their albums at Bandcamp. Very few IMPoW "good" artists lack BC page.

[1] "Discover" function at Spotify got really nice lately supposedly thanks to the last.fm integration (?). Last.fm used to be my favourite discovery page in the past, and even today I'm not able to ditch it completely.
I like the idea of a physical analog to game logic, e.g. tripping a certain condition based on collision mechanics. This could be useful for something akin to Game Maker, and I'd be curious to see how it would translate to other mediums. I could imagine front end programming would be well suited for this style, especially when creating interactive prototypes.
> I have tons of choices available and share the GP's question about the trendiness of piling on the hate train. I've done that comparison in a fair number of cities and “same items for less” has never been true on a consistent basis: it's either a small percentage either way or comparing different things.

This depends on a lot on the "consumption basket". The small percentage comment is definitely not true for some categories of products. Concretely, consider cheese. Genuine imported Parmigiano-Reggiano can be had outside Whole Foods for < $14 a pound, with extremes like Costco selling it for $12 I believe.
Whole Foods charges $20 for this, a ~ 50% higher price.
Similar remarks apply to other high grade cheeses.

More generally, although Whole Foods keeps the pricing of their store brand products competitive (e.g the 365 value stuff), they certainly do mark up many high quality items significantly.

In practice, however, any system like this, Snapchat, etc is easily defeated with a USB cable and QuickTime's record device screen feature. I suppose it could be useful to others depending on your "threat model", but generally it offers no protection from a savvy computer user after you've unlocked it once.

The video was trying to do two things at once: explain the goals and high level ideas as well as demonstrate "syntax" (the clicks and drag and drops). Since these are both new to people coming to your site, it's hard to digest at the same time. I'd love a video of just explaining what the demo is doing, since I didn't really understand how to program in the new approach you described.
Looks very similar to blueprints in UE4, with more visual integration of what actually happens.
That wasn't the idea I was trying to put though. I don't think the labels necessarily want to see a weak Spotify but only that the status quo is just fine for them. They would be happy to see the current situation remain in perpetuity I think. Spotify investors however do not.
