Kinda of, but most labels find the big three for both production and distribution. There is independent distribution company within each of the big three to attract independent labels. Most labels come to the big three simply because they have the infrastructure in place for global distriubtion from marketing to production to music distriubtion to all the major DSP (digital service providers) such as Apple and Spotify, as well as ringtone. One interesting thing about music deal is that while the big three have the infrastructure and capability, for example WMG can sign a deal with Sony in terrority Y (a country or multiple countries) for the release of X there and they split the royality, and vice versa.

I said kinda of because not all sign with big three and further more there are so many independent artists out there releasing to YouTube or Apple iTune or Soundcloud on their own).

(Disclaimer: work in a music company)
If this isn't a perfect example of how your "hacky prototype" will never be replaced with a fully developed solution until absolutely necessary, I don't know what is.
After even brief research as an uninitiated individual the underlying philosophy seems to have the same relationship to logic as reverse the polarity of the photon torpedoes has to physics. All the words are real meaningful terms but the combination doesn't make terribly much sense.

The problem is that when math doesn't gel its obvious that 2+2 doesn't equal 3 but with philosophy its entirely possible to become unglued from reality, further successive lifetimes of work may be built with no logical connection to underlying reality and no sanity check.
holy shit. soooooo expensive.
I've been looking for something like this.

I just want to say I appreciate the effort! :)

Yay FOSS!
As far as I know they consider RAID0, 1, and 10 to be stable. Last time I used it rebuilds were substantially slower than ZFS or mdraid. Rebuild performance seems to one of a few issues that BTRFS has had trouble solving. RAID 5 and 6 were declared stable last year, only to have that retracted when some fatal flaw was discovered that would apparently cause data loss if you needed to rebuild.
Sure does but you need to stir (or better, shake) it a little more. The best solution is to mix the coffee in a tiny bit of hot water and then add cold milk/water.
Google offers contracts and standard business relationships for some commercial uses of their API. Workflow could have reached out to the appropriate Google product person/lawyer, instead of sending a generic email as Marco speculates, if they were keen to use Google Translate instead of switching to Microsoft Translate.

Switching to Apple Maps exclusively over Google Maps is almost certainly a condition of the acquisition as I can't imagine Workflow would willing cripple their app that way, lack of Google email reply be dammed, without getting paid handsomely to do so
Centiptero sounds better. Ptero as in pterodactylus.

(Yes, it's mixed Latin-Greek, but so are metadata, hypervisor and hexadecimal.)
Occasionally I like the idea of producing some sort of dynamic instrumentation code (I privately think of it as "shitgrind") that detects dynamic code that is doing redundant work and flags it. Of course, this doesn't tell you that the code is useless (i.e. I might have to initialize something that subsequently isn't used down some deep and not-anticipatable-at-compile-time set of branches), but it might provide hints that I'm doing a lot of writes that never match up with reads, or that the writes/calculations that I'm doing are going into places that already have that value. It would be incredibly slow but there are plenty of uses I can imagine where you could detect performance problems in a toy version of the problem (maybe running 100-1000x slower) that are the same problems that you would have in the real version of the problem at full scale. Would be a fun project, IMO.

I think ramifications would be very serious for Google, since they rely on public trust and good will. There is little barrier to switching search engines and many alternatives.
We shipped internationally for about a year but stopped recently since a lot of packages got stuck in customs or got lost.
Don't just guess...
AdWords is still like 80% of Google's ads revenue though, and it has no problem of mismatch.

However point is, they are not gone completely. Big advertisers have a much bigger say in business than people would usually think. I won't be surprised that Google might have dedicated agent or group of agents deal with advertisers like AT&T.

So I guess, next Google will prioritize more aggressive censoring tools to please them.
No, even at Microsoft. It won't be at the level of "the support for this app will work for firefox on linux" but it will be setting policy like "By default all Microsoft websites will support browsers x/y/z on platforms p/q/r/s, unless exempted by the relevant VP with supporting business case" etc.
Because linux users would NEVER, EVER brigade a poll, right?
Does it support remapping? I always have ';' and ':' swapped and very few emulators support this. (VSVim does now).

Not that I agree with either, you'd just think the latter would take significantly more precedent
What I meant was that I might expect registered mail or something along those lines if something really needed to be dealt with right now. But maybe not. In any case, my basic point was just that there are very few things that show up in your mailbox unexpectedly that can't wait until you come back from a trip.
Cancelling your card != Cancelling the subscription.

You could get collections sent after you for doing this, bad for credit.
It depends how you do it. If you have the financial means, you can take a semester off (or register only for one easy credit) and focus 100% on your project during that time. That would delay your graduation by ~6 months, but that can be worth it. This is what Mark Zuckerberg did before dropping out completely.

> Why didn't Mozilla work harder to catch up with Chrome and counter Google? Was it a case of "My enemy's enemy is my friend?"

I'd argue that this "catching up to Google" was more their problem than their solution.

In making Firefox more and more Chrome-like they took away many unique and important Firefox features and they keep moving further and further in that direction. They now want to trash XUL and move to an extension framework that exactly matches Chrome's, removing the deep flexibility and customization that Firefox users have enjoyed. Several of my favorite extension authors have already announced they're giving up when that change happens.

If your browser just plays catch up without differentiating itself in any significant way, why would anyone use it?

Mozilla came up with some cool UI ideas, but never implemented them, or quickly did so, got them to a tiny percentage of their full potential and then abandoned them. That's the kind of thing they should be focusing on - that's the kind of thing that made Firefox gain market share in the first place. Instead they keep playing catch up. And playing catch up with a massive codebase against a giant company is incredibly hard.

Right now Brave is doing a better job differentiating itself and it's built on top of Electron - on Chrome's core codebase. If it were a little more active I think it'd have a shot at something.
You launch a popup with whatever GUI toolkit you're using, just like every other application. We had popups with progress bars before computers had GUI's at all.
Co-founder here - I actually want to challenge that...for science. I've gone pretty deep on this.

There are definitely sets of products for which people want to 'set it and forget it'. At a basic level - electricity. I'd love to never think about my electricity bill ever. I do not want to explicitly pay for my electricity bill. Automated payment on electricity is amazing!

There are also many products in my life that I truly love and would use a lot more, but I am too lazy to buy or order them. I love LaCroix sparkling water. I would have no problem if it showed up at my house for $20 a month. However, because I'm lazy I never actually buy any - instead I get Coke at the corner store - worse for me.

Our goal with Sudden Coffee is to make it really really easy to get something you like. We are definitely not trying to pull wool over anyones eyes - we try to be as transparent as possible with this. We will never give you the run around if you need to cancel - that's just not who we are.

Closer to our hearts - a subscription allows us to actually make it an 'experience' instead of just cups of coffee. We can educate you about coffee, send you new recipes, guide you through coffee tastings - over a longer period of time. When we talk to customers at cafes - those extra moments of delight make the experience memorable - not just a cup of coffee.

That said, Kalle is also right. A subscription ultimately means we can spend less money & time on marketing, more money where it counts - on coffee, and give it to you at a lower price. I mentioned this in an earlier thread - for us to deliver the same coffee without subscriptions, we'd have to charge $4-5 per cup. However, I can also tell you that we have many happy subscribers who love that it's a subscription - it's not something that feels forced, but rather something that makes life easier.

Would really love for you to give us a try! Promise you will not be met with resistance if you need to cancel!
What I really want is a low-impact, low-risk way of knowing where someone who is happy that I can do this actually is. My typical use case is working out if my wife is driving home, or at the gym etc -- where SMS/IM won't get a response, and a phone call would be intrusive. I don't want constant sends from the remote device, rather than ability to trigger a pull of current geo.

That is - low values of intrusion, negligible battery usage, relatively low exploit surface.

Glympse[1]is handy for ad hoc notifications - I use it sometimes to give family an idea of my time of arrival. But it also requires me to activate it, and runs for (IIRC) at most two hours. And by golly it sucks up battery.

Cerberus[2] could do this, but it's not the primary use case, and the diddling around that's required is messy - plus, massively intrusive given the feature set (remote wipe, camera & audio recording, etc).

These kinds of tricks remind me a bit of how the Apple II produced color using the timing of the NTSC signal, or how Thexder tried to produce more colors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBL2rtCdpZ0, or how the demo 8088 MPH produces more colors than the CGA composite mode was intended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHXx3orN35Y
I like good coffee: I don't care where it comes from. I like how I'm making coffee right now and where I get my coffee from, but this seems interesting for stuff like camping, hiking, and so on.

You can like good coffee and be interested in good instant coffee.
The first Western chronicle of Gaspar de Carvajal [1] spoke of large cities and well-paved roads in a region which is now "pristine" jungle. These chronicles were dismissed for a long time as fabrication, but it seems now there is a lot of evidence that Carvajal was speaking the truth.

All of that can and has been done with better (native) text rendering engines.
the hustle stuff normally makes me cringe, but once I heard Gary V's logic it made more sense. Basically he says that he can't go and tell people to get more talent, so in his mind the only way to get better results is to work more. Whether working more will actually help is debatable.
It also missed the mark with many of the others on that list.

The line between editor and IDE is getting more blurred every day.

I use Atom. It gets opened once a day and closed at the end of the day. It could take minutes to start for all I care. The amount of time saved by having the vast set of plugins, the customization, the tools, and more greatly exceed any kind of savings I'd get from faster startup time. People tell me how I'm wrong because my editor shouldn't use so much memory, I try to tell them that I'm more than happy with the memory usage for what I get and it runs fantastically on my computer.

But at the same time, I use nano on remote machines for quick edits all the time. If it were slow to start, it'd be useless.

And again if I were using an older PC with 4gb of ram and a 5400RPM HDD I might feel that the performance of atom is an issue, so I'd probably use something else.

I'm glad there are so many options that all focus on different workflows and features. Just because one doesn't focus on the workflow you use doesn't make it wrong or worse, just worse for you.

My immediate family all share locations via Apple's contacts, painless and very useful. I like the ability to share for an hour or a day with other contacts too, makes meeting friends much easier whenever there's a crowd. The downfall is that it only works with iPhones but for a lot of people, that's good enough.
I'd imagine it would be something serious involving the DOJ.
Agree with everything except:

This seems a bit much..
It's much cheaper to buy promising talent, I mean companies than to devote resources to do your own work from the ground up.
Gotcha. That's tough, a kind of preliminary discrimination. Maybe the only way to combat it is to only refer that friend to that person in the future. Ugh, but then that's just using your friend as a weapon against the guy, which isn't fair.

Not as often as you think. And there are multiple levels to this.

1) CS papers are normally about a single or logically-related set of concepts. If you can't reduce the code to a single file, the paper is probably too broad or you are trying to hide something.

2) If the author wants me to take time, it has to be really easy to try. "Configuration" is asking me to make choices that I really have no clue about a priori. Now, maybe there is a "heavy duty" version as well. But the "straightforward" version needs to be really straightforward.

And you would be surprised how often you don't need the heavy duty version. A nice example of this in crypto is DJB's "TweetNaCl". It gets you 99% of what you need until you understand what it doesn't get you. And, it's so damn easy to include that you get very little resistance--try using tweetnacl vs libnacl vs libsodium in a project. You'll pull your hair out if there isn't a magic package already for libsodium while tweetnacl can be dumped into embedded microcontrollers without pain.

3) If the author wants longevity, simplicity is his friend. Can you even begin to run a "configure" script from even 5 years ago let alone 10? Yet, I can download an ancient Fortran 77 code file and compile it today pretty easily.

Configuration is not your friend.
I'd plus one the price too...its laughably expensive. plus the packaging is extraordinarily wasteful. I'd say the process needs major work to reduce the price point and rethink out the packaging. I actually drink instant when I'm camping and would love to try it but I would consider this product super niche because it's honestly not much more work to just do a pour over of real coffee (for less money).
This is the kind of thing I really wish tmux had native support for, so I could use it on any system.
We already know how Apple gets rid of things that do things on iOS that they didn't want people doing: they pull them from the store.

Apple didn't do that, in fact they've left it in the store and made it free. They've given it a design award in the past (which seems to tacitly endorse that they like parts of it), and we know they've had things to help with automation in some degree on the Mac for years (AppleScript, Automator). This may be one of those cases where they just saw a really good product and decided to start from it instead of building from scratch.

Not unlike what they did with MusicMatch Jukebox and a number of other things throughout their history. (iTunes was amazing. I'm not going to argue about the last 10 years or so, but when they bought it it was really nice software for many years).
GOLD: Bullish, Risk Remains Higher on Further Strength
Yes, the bundling is ridiculous, but as long as the browser is open source, it'll still be possible to disable it - it's a tiny amount of code to allow that to happen, not a high maintenance effort item at all.

Why would it be 100%? There are plenty of wild animals out there. That you mention service animals leads me to believe that you're misunderstanding the statistic; service animals are a negligibly small portion of all total terrestrial animals.

And it's important to compare multiple different stats that sort of deal with the same thing as a way of helping to evaluate a new claim, to see if it's internally consistent.
I have been using http://www.webpagetest.org/ for similar investigations. csn you tell me what you see as advantages of your tool over webpagetest.org ?

Btw congrats. This looks very well done.
If they just wanted to shut it down, they would've done that. There's nothing in the history of the App Store that indicates Apple needs to buy an app to shut it down – all they have to do is change a rule or interpret it a little bit differently and boom - no more workflow. Apple didn't do this, they bought it instead which makes me very optimistic.

This is frustrating... Latitude was great and easy to find. Then of course they had to go and retire it, true Google style.

In Plus, the functionality is hidden away behind their myriad tab panes (they have the bottom one, and an additional vertical behind a hamburger - it's on the latter) - but it works just fine. I've got a bunch of friends there and we all enjoying seeing each other's whereabouts. My wife could however never remember where to find it, and got me onto Life360.. (which has some interesting extra bits including arrival and departure notifications).

The functionality probably always belonged in Maps. What will be interesting is whether they restrict the access like in Trusted Contacts or allow an unfettered list like in Plus / Latitude.
I was joking. :X
Test profiles is an especially interesting idea, something that I don't believe other tools in this space (Gomez/Compuware APN, ThousandEyes) have quite yet. Other than test profiles, what sets Calibre apart?
Agreed. It may have been luck that they were successful at first (I honestly have no idea), but it seems very clear that they took whatever advantages they had and how to execute on them to continue to make a great product and keep improving it. By the time you get to today I think it's fair to say they earned their place. They're pretty far past where luck alone would take you.
I'm not trying to be an asshole, but do you really see this company taking off? You're battling the known perception of instant coffee being awful and trying to sell a super premium product within a group that's tailored to buy cheap coffee because they just don't care. That's just a brutal uphill battle from a consumer education standpoint and a price comparison standpoint.

I get that you're not trying to compare your product, which I'm sure has great quality, to the $8 jar of instant coffee but that's what the general consumer is going to do.

I will openly admit, I hated coffee until I tried a fresh cup from a friend who owns his own small business roasting coffee beans and it was incredible.

I truly hope you do succeed as that'll ideally allow you to run larger production runs to drive down costs to more affordable prices for everyone.
What about easy theming? Various font choices? Different languages and scripts? RTL languages? Inline images? Live updated browser tab? Tabs at all? Code folding? Minimap-like previews? Tooltips for linters, code completion, syntax errors, and more? 3d visualization? Click able hyperlinks to documentation pages? Icons for files? Etc...

IMO a browser is a perfect platform for a text editor, because you get so much shit for free, and it's done right across most major platforms.

Or you can do most of that on your own across most platforms and hope your version is faster...
I find most systems don't have tmux installed by default anyway. But with the --user flag to pip, you can easily install tmuxp into your home directory.
