The other comment was correct that most of the pooled money will go to Bieber, however I feel there's a better way to frame it.

Economically speaking, you can imagine if Spotify had 100 users paying 10 GBP each; 99 listened exclusively to Justin Bieber, and 1 to 'Band.' All users listen to music in equal frequency. Though 99% of the pooled money — and if divvied up equally, 99% of 'Band' fan's money — goes to Justin Bieber, 'Band' fan's listening weight results in ~10 GBP of the total pool being pulled towards 'Band.' So, in effect, all of 'Band' fan's money could be classified as going towards 'Band.'

Also, as a couple side notes in Spotify's revenue structure:

1. 70% goes to artists, 30% goes to Spotify.

2. Over 70% of Spotify users become paying subscribers iirc, so there's not much of a problem with listening weight being pulled by free users.
AIM worked so well for kids because the "Away Message" always deleted after the next update. It was an early version of Snapchat's disappearing messages.
I've never seen this with Core Data (unless you have the multithreading-violation argument set). I do see it with some of the AV frameworks, but those are C++ exceptions, so as long as I only break on ObjC exceptions I don't hit it.

Edit: I forgot 1 ObjC exception I see frequently from AVFoundation on macOS. That one does cause an annoying breakpoint hit.
I don't see why we shouldn't.
Ok. We can argue grammatical pedantry all we want, I'm just saying what SCOTUS has said with regard to its interpretation of 8A specifically. There are three things not allowed: 1) excessive bail required; 2) excessive fines imposed; 3) cruel and unusual punishment. The application of a cruel but common punishment doesn't fit #3.

> rsync.net is 18x as expensive as B2

I'm aware, but B2 is not the reference point. He said he went with S3, so that's what we're comparing to. I.e., if S3's prices are palatable, then rsync.net might be, too.
Discord has presence indicators and is fairly widespread.
My grandfather had a single hit song over 50 years ago and he still lives comfortably off accumulated royalties and other proceeds in 2017. Those days are long gone. In this current system artists can still become millionaires via concert and show money. It's the writers and producers who are getting shafted since they depend mostly on royalities and points.

What I find intriguing are the genres where producers are arguably MORE important than the artist (think trap music). Some producers in that space are circumventing this problem by starting their own labels and signing artists under them. This is essentially what Mike Will Made It has done with Rae Sremmurd. As the music industry evolves, people participating in it have to continually think outside the box and innovate to maintain revenue streams.
Usenet History: How Binaries Took Over Newsgroups
You're the one who threw in the word "intent", not TorKlingberg. I would further assume that by "colluding", he didn't necessarily mean explicit cartel behavior, but more typical oligopolistic behavior where the "competitors" inexplicably keep prices stable (or increasing) despite the supposed competition.

I also disagree that limited competitors is the same as limited competition. The two may often be related but don't have to be. When two competitors have razor-thin margins because they're competing aggressively, there isn't a lack of competition. When 10 competitors somehow manage to keep their prices in sync and increase their margins over time, there is a lack of competition even though the number of competitors is high.

But I really don't care to debate definitions further. I chimed in to explain the disconnect between these two views on the meaning of the word "oligopoly". I don't personally care which you prefer.

Hmm ... not 3 years ago, the milk I currently pay $4/gallon for was selling for ~$3/gallon. Maybe outside of Michigan it is different.
Yep. That's why labeling is one of the most active tactics in political marketing.

If you CREATE a definition for a subset of view points and pound it into the general public enough, if a person hears a piece of it from somebody they'll tend to assume the entire label. This is how people end up arguing with things that other people have never said. They're arguing with the label, not the person.

I think you missed my point. You asked why he would assume it was African-Americans as the subject of the proposed example of a bigoted question. That link is to a direct example of why, and emblematic of a larger pattern.

"What about this guy" doesn't really help here.

Are you arguing that it's a bad example, or asking in good faith why it is a good example?

I actually do this. It's far more effective to apply for new postings than whatever happens to be live at the moment, as companies will happily advertise a position even as they're waiting for a candidate to accept an offer they've made, keeping new applicants around 'just in case'.

But I just use cron, shell, and github.

Ask HN: How can I find a mentor?
I have been learning to program on and off for a year now, and recently I tried to take it up again seriously. But, when trying to learn new things I am having problems in understanding the basic things like how is work-stealing scheduler like go's is different from node's event loop or how are synchronous and blocking different from each other. I have tried asking such questions on stack overflow, but have been shot down because of being unspecific or not constructive. I feel like discussing these topics with someone who has better knowledge of these subjects can help clear up things.
Same here, I am always retooling my profile. There is definitly a market for that but it might be a less for a tech oriented crowd. You could also think about a similar project about job titles and the demands / qulifications that similar companies listed in the past for that, i.e. if I want to become the CIO of a mid-size manufacturing firm, what qualifications did similar firms request in the past and how were they wording it. I would encourage you to be more creative with your pricing because currently I would not be subscribing. Something like a high one time fee (for those that have some sort of urgency ($29 for 1 month)) and a really low per month fee ($2.45 per month for 12 month).

Was the hypothesis only argued for negative traits? I don't see any particular reason why traits we find distasteful today, and only those, are blamed on ancient viruses.
Was thinking similarly. It feels like the issue is still more 'control'. While CEOs ostensibly have a lot of control, not all do (or feel they do), and perhaps not all actually want it. If you had control enough to feel like you were pretty sure you weren't going to be ousted next quarter for a down quarter or even a down year, you'd be more inclined to make strategic decisions that might be hard to make, but necessary for growth.
I heard it as "A students work for C students, and B students work in government."
I think you're making a lot of good points here, but:

> Coal is still cheaper...

This is only true when you socialize the long-term costs incurred by coal. Regulation is an attempt to push some of those costs back onto the companies that incur them, and then it turns out that coal isn't so cheap after all.

I suppose that since "regulation" is becoming a dirty word in politics, and especially with the influence from fringe libertarians, we could instead provide government-funded lawyers to sue any coal-producing company on behalf of any individual or community that can provide any evidence that coal production harmed them in some way. We could set up expedited courts for it and allow any coal-producing company to be litigated against even if they weren't directly responsible for the injury, and remove the other various loopholes that massive environment-exploiting companies use to make money at the expense of people's health.

Then, there wouldn't regulations, and coal would still be expensive.
What is an MDMA session?
Exactly. Rent seeking behavior, to extract more from tenants would be expected. This would spread. Causing other prices to rise.
In the end what we are seeing is that that golden era of creators making a living (and much much more) was an anomaly.

Historically, musicians and actors were very poorly paid. For a brief period in the 20th century, some of them made a lot of money. That's over.

There were, at peak, several million Myspace bands. Some of which didn't suck. Supply of musicians far exceeds demand.
Because being lax leads to bugs.

> rather than looking like templated design patterns

Speaking about another lisp, Clojure, it is a goal that each program finds its own design pattern. That's kinda the whole idea. Design patterns can really get in the way, unless your language requires them, which some languages do (i.e. Java where everything must be an object, so OO it is, or Apple's platforms where the MVC pattern is deeply interwoven into all the APIs).

Lisp in general is about exploring a particular problem using only the constraints of that problem, without concern for how different problems get solved. By contrast, design patterns are about forcing a common solution onto a range of different problems.
Another difference is that most of those 20k people did not ask to hear this song while every (well, more or less) streamer has.

I think this service combined with a review services would be an even greater market. I've not had much luck with professional reviewers, though I've admittedly not used anyone local or expensive. I usually get vague feedback from online reviewers with basic hints (like, "You need to use less action words and more accomplishment words") so a service like this would give me the ideas the reviewer didn't. I've already found a couple of ideas in the free section.
Yeah but Homer was considered history or mythology, not fiction. Homer didn't invent the characters or story line. I guess it is rather grey area, but I consider "fan art" art that is derivative of a specific artistic expression. E.g. if i draw Robin Hood as a vampire, it is not fan art, but if I draw Disneys Robin Hood as a vampire, it is fan art. Don't know if that makes sense?
If even people reaching a truly stupidly huge number of people don't get even close to making a living (I get more than that off a few hundred people on Patreon for the work that I do), in a situation where those operating the streaming services are renting out entire floors of office buildings in Manhattan, your question is disingenuous.

Just because some of us are eking out a sort of existence in the new era doesn't make it a functional system.

I would be perfectly happy to see it become 'this is the Star Trek future, your entire compensation is the satisfaction of a job well done and being personally liked for what you've created', if our world operated on some sort of UBI and we didn't have to have our performance linked to survival at all.

Under those circumstances, things naturally shift down the Maslow hierarchy of needs, and people take for granted that they'll live, and get desperate for validation and popularity, that being what they lack. I have NO problem with a world that completely unlinks money from performance, because I'm not a free-market capitalist type demanding that financial reward behave like a 'meritocracy'.

Self-evidently it doesn't anyway, so literally nothing of value is lost.

BUT, we have that completely decoupled world and yet demand that people pay for even the most frugal living with money they got somebody to give them, in a world where people simply can't and don't do that anymore.

Silicon Valley clever-boffins: come up with some disruptive alternative really fast. We don't have time to mess around, and what these songwriters face is the same fate waiting for all of us, in turn, including you. How about abolishing money and replacing it entirely with 'likes'?

I think it's pretty well known that artist's make really less from streaming or even album sales.

That's why i usually buy t-shirts or something like that of the artist to support them. Fortunately for the type of music i prefer, soundcloud is enough for as of now.

Show HN: Pin Me on IPFS
At least in the US, that results in the dangerous people you mentioned being confined with lots of people with undiagnosed or untreated mental problems and lots of nonviolent (non-dangerous) offenders. On top of that, you have a significant number of innocent people incarcerated also, people who got screwed by the system along the way.

When we place all those people together, in a setting where violent assaults are shockingly common -- and, in particular, the constant threat of rape -- we are definitely making you less safe, not more safe. One might argue that at least the "dangerous people" are preying on other "criminals" while they are inside, but how many of those victims end up becoming MORE dangerous to you and your family due to years of state-supervised abuse?

The point of this article is that spotify's revenue sharing model really sucks for BIG artists. Justin Bieber definitely qualifies as a "big" artist.
That might be (perhaps) true in other languages, but that is not the point in Lisp.
We could (and I have) had whole discussions unpacking the thinking around that quote. There are multiple levels of racism (and other -isms), misunderstanding, and legitimate concerns that could be being expressed. Assuming that it's just "a false premise" (though, there's many false or questionable factual premises -- eg, program targets mothers not single parents; most single mothers have children with black fathers; support programs have anything to do with child support) without really investiating what else it might mean is too dismissive -- it's shouting "tree!" then being proud without ever seeing that there might be a forest.

I takes time, effort, and empathy to try and unpack the real meaning behind questions like that -- effort that we don't invest when we allow ourselves the shortcut of just calling them "racist" to end the conversation.

I don't think we can move forward as a society -- and are even regressing -- because we've stopped unpacking what the other person is trying to say and started short-circuiting that process of human interaction with thought terminating cliches. It sincerely scares me how many people derive great joy in that kind of unthinking censorship.
If all we needed to write robust software was discipline, we wouldn't need high level programming languages. All we'd need is the documentation of the instruction set that we want to target.

It is not convoluted, just hidden. After you mention it I searched and it takes two clicks to get to. What it doesn't do is let you snoop. You are either active and see everyone who is active, or not active and don't see anyone who is active, a weird type of "fairness" that doesn't really make sense.

All these social networks are definitely trying to use symmetry to push for engagement, which is not always the goal from the user's perspective.
Social and Developmental History of the United States goes largely ignored by choice and hidden by agenda. It is a shame people do not examine this country's history more, and know that certain dynamics have been in place for decades, and that only a heartfelt change of attitude on the societal level will have any lasting impact in ameliorating the divide.
Wow, this is actually an amazing idea! Great job.
I assume that if you lose your ticket you can always reauthenticate to get a new one, so... that doesn't seem like it'd be too bad, right?
Exactly. As your link says, "anyone can do enterprise sales", but it surely takes time away from development. Someone stepping in and doing the enterprise sales for open source developers could fill a lot of gaps.
The argument I'm making is that when it comes to "human systems" like communities it's not possible to write a complete, consistent, and fair policy that can be unambiguously interpreted (i.e. by a computer). This is why Hacker News still has moderators and is not strictly governed by algorithms.

"Fairness" has always been heavily contextual, and the idea that it can be distilled to a matter of "if A and B then C" is folly. Even pure math can't reach the combination of completeness and consistency you assume is possible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel%27s_incompleteness_the...

Hi doctor!

The comic at the bottom of the web page got me laughing and in tears at the same time, in particular the line: "Back in the 80s we showed you how to program without ANY bugs". Also, Java as a little tank, C# as a plane, Python as an helicopter... just brilliant. I almost rolled in the floor laughing by looking at that part of the strip.

Certainly it is prophetic, it seems we're almost reaching the point of being enslaved by bugs...

I still haven't figured out if this book is a vanity project written by a bored Doctor, or a sincere attempt to convey information.

I do like the Period Table though.

And maybe it's just me? I have the book on my shelf, and it's dusty.

I do feel using a comic book format to convey technical information is the way to go. It should be used more often.
In this very thread I was accused of asking one of these "bigoted questions". I hold no hatred towards any race of people nor am I a big fan of the GOP. I am certainly not a operative of the GOP attempting to swing votes for them. So I just don't understand how this is remotely related to be honest. Quite frankly this all seems like an attempt to limit speech by a political ideology that seems to crumble when debated.
