But the underlying issue is that those DJ tracks many times technically did need permission from copyright holders to be posted. Unfortunately dealing with this w/o a ton of money is just a failing exercise.

Soundcloud is still good to get DJ mixes from DJ's I like, but I can seeing it go away just due to all of the costs that would accompany trying to ensure they have the right to share everything that is posted by users.
There's something to be said about doing more with less.
Java itself is pretty big language. Each framework effectively forks it and makes another dialect, so the term is pretty loaded. Dropwizard, Spring, Guava, are all their own in thing in addition to Java. Then one has to learn to the domain and the codebase. Language itself is just a small portion of solving the problem.
It would be great if society could progress to the Star Trek inspired utopia. Using technology to build replicators to create food rather than robots to farm food using traditional methods for instance.

If a rose by any other name smells just as sweet, then a business by any other name stays just as small.

If a business is small and stays small, then at best it's a failed startup. If it's designed to stay small, then it's not a startup at all.

You can argue any other point, but you can't avoid the growth criteria. And if you have that, either you grow quickly or your competitor will put you out of business.

My point is that a podcast hosting company has no growth potential. The target market is too small. A startup could use podcast hosting as a stepping stone toward a bigger market, but in absence of that, it's a business like any other. And there's no shame in admitting that.

But it's really strange to insist it's a startup when it's not. Imagine insisting that a desktop computer is a chair just because you can sit on it.

Yes this. Hate crime is a crime that adds penalties to what otherwise would be the same act. The problem with hate crime is it assumes we can know someone's thoughts, but with a "violation of trust" crime, being in a superior position of elevated responsibility would be enough.
I have no idea how Bandcamp is built behind the scenes, but from a user-facing perspective, their UI and UX seem way better than Soundcloud's.

>Frankly I've never read an inspiring development article from Bandcamp a engineering team.

I don't know the actual user numbers, but I'm guessing this is because Soundcloud has had to scale a lot more than Bandcamp has and not necessarily because Bandcamp's engineering team is worse.

But, hey, maybe Soundcloud did have a top-class engineering team. Doesn't really change my opinion of it, since I've always considered it the worst and least user-friendly out of all the streaming platforms (mid-song user comments I can't disable; next song autoplay that I can barely find the playlist for, with seemingly no relation to what I was just listening to; horrible sound quality; hideous and distracting color scheme that distracts from the music, much unlike BC).

That may be entirely the fault of the management and not the engineers, but still.
Your citations quite literally mentions two people who wrote for BuzzFeed as far back as 2008, not even for Tasty.
The difference is that Bandcamp doesn‘t need to make deals with major labels. Instead they have smaller and larger labels as well as independent artists coming to them.

I really don‘t understand why Soundcloud tried to get into general, mainstream music streaming. Keeping their niche as paid host for DJs, radio shows, independent artists and small labels should have been their main focus. As a paid service for listeners (in contrast to artists) it simply can‘t compete with Spotify, Apple and others.

Visibility is the easiest part, when you need it - just advertise and do PR, no reason to rely on a pure chance. Open source projects are often accepted by a lot of places, that do not allow ads for commercial products and services. But then you are going to have the same problem as others pointed out - doing free work. So unless you find a way to make your work on this project sustainable there is little point in gaining visibility.
It is incomplete. Most likely the result of editing a longer passage.
Aha! Excellent observation! However, I said that no one died or will die from radiation released at Fukushima, which I stand by. But people did die during the mandated evacuation (many people ironically evacuated to places with naturally higher radiation than they would have gotten had they stayed), and yes, people will die from increased air pollution that results from shutting down the nukes.

So people died because they were afraid of radiation, not because of the radiation itself [1]. This is why I feel we need to push back against fear-driven outcry against nuclear and try to keep it based on things we can measure.

To be fair, during Fukushima the policymakers didn't know how dangerous the radiation was going to be so calling the evacuation was tough. So building reactors with proper safety systems for their environment is also a total necessity moving forward. The high-water line in the area was known to be closer to 20m than the 10m seawall that they had built there.

The parent's concern doesn't appear to be whether there was more quoted in the article, but whether the article elided part of the quote as it was originally given.

The property crime rate for San Mateo county is similar (but lower) to northern rural Wisconsin (I've clicked a county at random, not done anything weird to try to find where you lived...).

http://www.civicdashboards.com/county/san-mateo-county-ca-05...

http://www.civicdashboards.com/county/oneida-county-wi-05000...

It of course may be the case that reporting of crime is considerably different between the two places, but it does not at first blush appear to be a situation where one is rampant and the other is strict.

Such problems are much more visible when there are a few hundred thousand people in a given area (compared to 20 or 30 thousand). Perhaps that somewhat accounts for your differing impressions?
The comparison does not work because Nostalrius/Elysium actually uses a codebase from the around 2010.

If you go back to old MaNGOS sources and do the diff on that old state you can see it is just a few bug fixes.

It looks like Nostalrius and Elysium developers simply did not figure out that after that MaNGOS was split into distinct projects for each of WoWs expansions and decided to stay with pre-split version.

Both Farming and Ranching require a sizable amount of land to be viable. It's much more viable to live on the land you farm (or ranch on), than it is to live in town. Beyond that, cities create higher land values that tend to make farming or ranching non-viable.

That said, even rural towns are very underserved in the US.
Medium made a choice to put an unclosable popup on every page when vied on a mobile device.
The per-user costs here are web servers and customer support. The bulk of the servers are only doing one thing, so even though there are a lot of them, you could mange them with a hundred people. So that leaves customer service as a per-user cost. It's possible that the customer support department has 2000+ people, and that would be a satisfactory answer. But if that's not the case, then "employees per user" is pretty irrelevant, and the question stands.
Exactly, that article was written by a VC. That does not make it a universal definition.

"Hosting your own WordPress site? It's simple and easy."

I would think that, for at least 90% of those publishing on Medium, that's neither simple nor easy.

Even ignoring that, hosting your own Wordpress site means taking responsibility for keeping it up to date, security-wise. That hurdle alone probably makes most bloggers use some third-party blogging provider.
"Really are all homeless people acting that way?"

No. The ones that aren't, aren't a problem.

If anyone has proposed ejecting homeless people who are behaving in a civilized manner, I haven't seen it. Have you?

"By the way your "next question" comment is quite a display of arrogance."

Your feigned ignorance of the fact that crazy/drunk homeless people disrupt the library deserved it.

To expand:

If a homeless person (or any other person -- I don't actually care if the guy is homeless or Bill Gates) can comport themselves in the library in a civilized manner, they are welcome there as far as I'm concerned. If they can't, they aren't.

That would include:

1) Not shitting and pissing in the book stacks, or littering them with used condoms and needles.

2) Not yelling obscenities or incoherencies, whether due to intoxication, mental illness, or both.

3) Not pulling weapons on the other patrons or staff, trying to fight them, or making verbal threats to them.

4) If using the public computers, not engaging in public masturbation, playing loud porn videos, etc.

Should there be a place for people who can't control themselves to this minimal extent to go? Yes. Should that place be the library? No.
Should music creators who want a place to upload and get feedback on their work move to a different platform now or is SoundCloud going to be around for that for the foreseeable future?
Haha, sorry. I'm on my phone...
I found giving an answer that has some kind of final or really helpful/obvious consequence helps a lot. A reason instead of an explanation (that's tricky, don't mock your child).

- Well, you see, there's that thing about clouds that goes through different pocket of air and...

Try:

- Why does it rain ?

- To make vegetables grow :).

So if I read the article right, this shader emulates those parts of the rendering pipeline of the GameCube/Wii... which to my mind still just sounds absolutely amazing - does this mean you've had to implement any quirks of the devices into the shader?

Also - does this generalise to other rendering pipelines for other devices do you think?

The notable missing features are the synchronization tools, beyond that I haven't found anything of import missing. The data modeling tools in IntelliJ/DataGrip aren't anything to write home about, but I rarely use them (I've always just busted out Visio or LucidChart for UML/relational modeling when I have to do it).

For my own work use I really have no choice but DataGrip, it's the only database utility that supports DB2 for i, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL - all of which we use heavily at work. But also being a heavy user of other JetBrains products (IntelliJ, ReSharper, PyCharm) having a familiar interface is a huge positive over Navicat since all of my keyboard shortcuts work the same and I only have two different (VS vs IntelliJ-based IDE) ways I have to remember how to do code snippets instead of three.
My suggestion is to ignore login until there is a functional reason. Today, people landing on the page is pure gold. The important functional information is how they use the product.

Sure, user accounts can exist for many reasons. Right now, there is no evidence that

the reasons are for my benefit. That's not to say in the wider world there are not people who would benefit from persistent identity in regard to a timeline making site. It is even possible that I might benefit from establishing a persistent identity, but there's no statement of a value proposition as to why nor do the possible reasons seem more likely than the idea that persistent identity is not for my benefit, and hence Occam's razor.

Perhaps the reason is to use Facebook/email is to build Hacker News for timelines. Great, that's functional..once there is a social space, not now. If the login is to pitch an investor by showing uniques traction, it's non-functional.
You can only say that after you've had visibility.

I love the "don't give a F let me broadcast all of it" mentality here. This is amazing. Starting a project much less a business has a lot of ups and downs. Putting a camera on top of you for all of it probably works wonders on morale.
It helps me to remember the following:

- I am not my work.

- All software sucks. Some suck less than others.

- I have simultaneously been catastrophically wrong and full of confidence in the past. Be open minded to the possibility there's a very different way to do things that will make you a better professional. Be similarly open to the possibility the other guy is full of shit.

- Developing a thick skin will make your life (in general) easier. It's better to do it in a short, intense period of time than prolonging the pain over decades of your life.

Every discussion I've seen of livable wage starts from the concept of being able to meet reasonable necessities - food, shelter, transport, healthcare, etc. - from full-time employment.

I suspect you know full well that folks talking about a "livable wage" aren't saying "if you work an hour a week you should make $40k".
>> "It is funny you mention Bandcamp as your flagship example"

I didn't. I said they had gotten as far as SoundCloud which was close to the right product but not close enough.

>> SoundCloud engineering is worlds ahead. They were one of the biggest proponents and pioneers of containerized microservice architecture.

As a user, why should I care? After the redesign the product became abysmal to use. There are major bugs (like reordering spotlight in Chrome) which have been around for years with no fix. That's a paid feature, broken in a major browser for years. There are also still (or at least there were recently) some pages using the old interface. They wasted time building Go instead of fixing the almost great product they already had.
It's probably a good thing that people maintain a disdain for freeloading, though. It's important for at least some of the gains from a new creation to go to the creator, otherwise the market for whatever product will stagnate because the people with resources are not the people with ideas.

>> But the underlying issue is that those DJ tracks many times technically did need permission from copyright holders to be posted.

What the parent and I are saying though is that DJ mixes were a small part of the content in the early days. It wasn't created to host DJ mixes or marketed as that initially. Producers/songwriters/amateurs were the bulk of the content. SoundCloud could have built a decent business by banning copyrighted material and only dealing with original works. There was never any need to get into the messy licensing business.
Perhaps a dumb question, but why not plant a bunch of trees?
Huh? There's two copyrights - the copyright for the physical recording which is now 35 years and there is the songwriter copyright which is country by country but generally 50 to 70 years. The latter favor the artists so that they can receive royalties for their lifetime. Without that the songs would fall into the public domain while they artists was likely still alive. See:

Everyone knows where my country is located and who "my" president is. (I didn't vote for him!) Which country's location and/or president concerns you? If you say "Slovenia" or "Bhutan", then yes it is elitist to think any voter should have to know that location or person.
Medium blogs all have different colored nav-bars and logos.
There was a semi-famous author in my city who did that on a personal level: he would ask his friends to keep part of his paycheck until a certain day, and not give it to him even if he asked, since he knew he'd misspend it all (often by just being generous to friends and people in need).

More than once, not only did he ask for the money before the date, as upon being denied, he went around in coffeeshops and bars defaming them, telling people they'd stolen from him, etc.

If even individuals can be this inconsistent, we shouldn't be surprised that companies - composed of multiple private interests, as many as their employees and board members - exhibit similar behaviors.

Is the Author arguing there will be another AI Winter?

I have a simple theory ( I am not sure if there is a proper term for it ) that goes and solve all the above problem mentioned.

When ever a technology that is capable of producing some form of economical value, it will continue to improve and tackle what ever hurdle or barrier you think it has.

In all of the previous AI era, research were funded by government or large company like iBM. But none of those has ever made a impact or profits that value more then you have invested in. Expert System never caught on.

And this is why everyone is excited, for the first time ever we have AI ( Machine Learning ) producing useful results in a MUCH MORE cost effective way. And these saving will means companies are investing back into AI research for further improvement and benefits. The whole AI research has created a self sustained cycle that we know, at least for the next 5 - 10 years will not be lacking any fundings.
