> You make it sounds like it's a bad thing. Being able to focus your energies on healthy communities in a feature.

No, it's definitely a bug.

Walking away from personal conflicts weakens projects and communities through fragmentation. It feeds the selfish desire for safety and isolation at the expense of developing the more healthy ability to put aside personal differences in pursuit of a greater goal.

As a result, these so-called "healthy communities" will eventually end up more fragile and more fragmented than their original counterparts, especially since personal conflicts are inevitable in any project. What a fine way to derail a movement.

The thing that most bothers me about Spotify is that it boots to a "top music right now worldwide / in your country".

When it also has a "Discover" system that works semi-well. Why not open to the Discover screen? If I was that plugged in into the zeitgeist pop music-wise, why wouldn't I just listen to the radio?

Why not write about the company in the abstract and not mention names?
Have I really? I'm verry happy with my job so that choice an sich wasn't wrong. Oh yes I started that job and entered into a world where it was mostly Windows (that, and the hardware had been chosen already btw). Well, it's ok for you to have the opinion that the young me was doing wrong by not having looked further for another job where there's no trace of Windows, but given that young me hardly even knew Linux existed that sounds pretty ridiculous. Also, stop making silly assumptions and giving false protips. You have no clue how much of my time is divided between Linux/Windows/Mac nor how much experience I have with developping on Linux, nor what kind of software, so your generalizations have no ear here.
Which is discriminatory, what's your point? That racists are going to discriminate regardless?

Well, as in other areas, there will always be abusers. Drug testing welfare reicpients, for example, is a slap in the face to small government ideals and does absolutely nothing to deter abuse.

The truth is the abusers are the exception, not the norm.

Regulations and legalisation are not unlike a doorlock.
It might keep out those who would steal given a free pass to do so, but anyone more determined will make short work of it.

You can't legislate against that kind of abuse, the abuse of a black and white law prohibiting this type of discrimination for example.

It's clear to me that you can't regulate someone out of being a racist prick, an addict, etc. They just keep coming up with a new way to do whatever the fuck they please.

My understanding is that when you rotate the stick, the angle controls the rotational (yaw) speed of the Volcopter (in other words, you hold the stick straight, it'll keep looking in a fixed direction, say north. Now if you twist the stick a few degrees, it'll slowly rotate in that direction (and keep rotating as long as you hold it twisted). If you twist it more, it'll rotate faster. If you let go (untwist), it'll stop rotating and maintain that heading.)

You're making plenty of assumptions about me. I started in the Microsoft world. I was a frequent attendee and speaker at local MS user groups and conferences, a volunteer at TechEd, and I sat on the review board for the C#, ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework, and Azure certification exams.

I have the same background as you and I still think you're wrong here.

I moved to Apple Music about 6-8 months ago, but had essentially stopped using Spotify before then for many of the reasons listed above. The many changes to the iOS app, songs disappearing from playlists when moving between countries, and with offline synced songs disappearing at random times, I just lost interest.

The move to Apple Music wasn't entirely without friction. There was no very good migration story, only third party apps and the results of these were so-so at best. But this was a one time cost, since then it's been a smooth ride. I pretty much only use apple hardware and the fact that Apple Music works great on all platforms is a huge win for me – Spotify doesn't even have an Apple TV app which was also a pretty big reason for my switch.

I also feel that Apple Music has improved a lot in these past 6-8 months, perhaps not so much in terms of app features and the likes, but I've definitely noticed changes in music availability. Most tracks and albums that I searched for half a year ago but weren't available are there now, and when I started I felt it was hit-and-miss whether the particular songs I was looking for would be there or not. Today I can't remember last time I tried to find a song but it wasn't available.

The only annoying thing now are my friends sending me Spotify links, since it means I have to look up the link, see what song/album they are linking me to, and search for it in Apple Music. This feels like something we should've solved with URNs instead of URLs...

The interesting thing to me is that this same argument could be made about anything. Did the Big Bang happen, or are there a bunch of anti-religion folks? I can't independently prove the 'proof' about the Big Bang. How about global warming? Maybe there's a secret society of ludites that want us to return to a pre-industrial era. I find all three scenarios equally likely, which is not zero, but not too much higher than zero.

I'm very foreign to facts like these about coal. I had always assumed/considered it "dirty energy", but that is all i had known. With that said, my coworker seems to think "coal is far more clean than most people think", and is pro-coal.

Are there some really blatant and easy to digest articles explaining coal? Eg, 800,000 deaths sounds big, and while i don't agree with my coworker, i assume those deaths are far more subtle and debatable. To be clear, i'm not trying to defend coal, i just want to provide him with some clear and irrefutable evidence.

I'm the one who brought FidoNet to Russia (Soviet Union, to be precise) in 1990. I remember how it was hard to find two more guys with modems and access to automatic international line in order to request a separate FidoNet region for USSR. Finally we got 2:50 region code in September 1990, and there were three of us - two guys from Novosibirsk and one from Yekaterinburg, both are large cities in the Asian part of USSR.

For us raised in Soviet Union, it was eye opening experience that you may freely exchange messages with people around the globe.
How does a moral compass help the engineer whose spec says "If DEBUG_SEND_CRASH_INPUT is defined at build time, send the content of all files opened by the crashing process to the telemetry server."? How are they supposed to know that the flag will be enabled in the release build, causing their code to exfiltrate user documents to Microsoft?

I believe this is what nebabyte means by

> I find it odd that The Register used a biased headline, while delegating the unbiased phrase to the role of a subheading.

The only thing odd about that is that The Register has a more neutral tone in it's subheading than normal. The main headline is using the default Register style (and if you go to the Reg's front page, you'll see plenty of tabloid-esque subheadings).

I suspect that since this has been the Reg's modus operandi for years, that there's no need for an editor to write headlines by now - the staff writers know what's expected and probably use the house style already. If anything, it's the po-faced subheading that's likely to have been tampered with on an ad-hoc basis.

> I am not sure whether non-standard controls would even be allowed, though.

Good point, regulation is a huge issue.

It is my understanding, though, that FAA and EASA are moving away from regulation that is very prescriptive in exactly how to achieve something (which would indeed make it hard to introduce an entirely new control concept) towards regulation that prescribes more what needs to be achieved (controllability, safety, etc.), under the heading of "performance-based certification".

Also, it appears regulators in Germany are somewhat positively disposed towards this, and even considering to establish a new category of aircraft with distinct certification requirements and airmen licensing requirements.

I mean, in fixed wings, you have to demonstrate a certain number of take-offs and landing, which makes perfect sense, but it's not really transferable to this aircraft:

ok, you sit in a Volocopter and then press the switch up with your thumb for take-off for a few seconds, then hold it fully down until touchdown (automatically slowed down when ground proximity is detected), then repeat a few times (up, down), and get your license... :-)
What do their users want though? I am a user and have some counterpoints.

I have been a premium user of spotify for over a year now and I actually really love it. Maybe I don't use as much features as other people do.

I have a bunch of playlists (18) and love their discovery feature as well. I listen to it every time when I am at work - or doing chores at home - and sometimes during the commute on my phone. Same goes for 2 family members.

I don't miss the lyrics feature - I used it occasionally but it was shortly after I started using spotify so it's hard to miss something you have not really had the opportunity to use for a long time.

I have used their client on Windows and Mac (work), Linux (home) and mobile (android) and actually did not have issues with either of them. For what I use it (listening to music..) it does everything I want and does so perfectly.

Storing songs offline? No thank you, if I wanted to do that, I would just torrent the albums I like.

About the Hi-Fi option, they do have a HQ option but I am not sure which "quality" that actually is. I'm not an audiophile though, but I bet the average user isn't. So they might not care.

---

But, like I said, to me it is essentially just a cloud music player and should not be anything else. I don't use any of the social features, I'm surely not an audiophile, and I can actually not compare it to Apple Music.

(Sidenote: The pricing is really good as well, at least the premium model where you can add family members).

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not affiliated with Spotify, and as always, this is just my opinion and yours might be different which is completely OK. :-)

You can try, but to be frank you can never be sure. The only 100% way to stop telemetry is to work disconnected from the Internet.

Well, This is AirBNB's own moment of "Gig Economy goes against established law" like Uber and HomeJoy have done.

Hoteliers and traditional rental agencies are not to discriminate on a list of things (now including sexual orientation and status). They have, including Trump. And they've also been sued to the gills for knowingly violating it and lost. Simply put, it's against the law to discriminate on basis of race or color; religion; national origin; familial status or age—includes families with children under the age of 18 and pregnant women; disability or handicap, or sex. (Source: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/renters-ri... )

Does that mean I'm required to let people in my home? Well, no. Just because someone shows up on my property means nothing. If they try to come in without permission, that's trespassing. If they have a weapon, in many states I'm legally able to blow them away. Castle Doctrine is the general description, with unique laws per state ( Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine )

But what happens when both are true, with AirBNB and someone I don't like (Muslim/Christian/Atheist/Black/Brown/Asian/gay/handicapped/dirty/poor/smelly/angry/arrogant/...)? There's the crux.
So should we be filtering our applications to companies who are hiring by their dev environment? (Nah man I'm for it, let's kick the platform holy wars into gear again lol)

As I mentioned elsewhere, idealism is all well and good but pragmatic realities are often all that the people 'in the intermediary' can or will concern themselves with. You're not going to make much headway convincing them that an available option that served their purposes was 'wrong'.

Frankly, we're lucky to have Linus Torvalds et al. continuing development of the Linux kernel etc. as FOSS endeavours. Between the pushes for internet fast lanes, against it being a utility here, against hardware hacking, and so on, we're basically on borrowed time from corporate conglomerates having the right-of-way as far as tech governance goes.

I wonder if the folks from the EFF will stick around once they can no longer avoid being outlitigated and outbankrolled at every turn, or if they have a backup country they're heading to.
It depends, if I start a company and offer a share contract where I am the BDFL(Benevolent Dictator For Life) of the company, then any shareholder purchasing the stocks is buying it by agreeing to that term.

Sure the shares will not reach as high of a valuation as they would if shares didn't come with this condition, but there is no claim whatsoever that somehow shareholders somehow gain more power over the company than what they agreed to when purchasing the shares.
Damn, that looks like a fantastic read. Thanks!
