Of all the services that I've used or thought about using, Spotify is absolutely one that has done many, many things right in being consumer friendly in ways that I feel are fairly important:

- Third party clients are a thing, to the point where I really feel like I'm being sold a streaming service and not a tiny window through which I can occasionally listen to music. My normal media player is a python script that talks to an API. This is amazingly useful.

- When using Spotify-provided apps, there's the ability to save things for later offline listening. I haven't yet hit a limit on how many things I've been able to save.

- There's no limit on the number of devices I can use with the service, although I can only stream concurrently on one -- multiple offline devices have worked great though

- There isn't a time limit that certain content is available (this is much easier to feasibly achieve with audio compared to high-definition video, and a major difference between Spotify and services like Netflix).

This is sufficient usability, freedom, and value for money for me to subscribe with the knowledge that what I'm paying for is access to a library that Spotify has created and maintained. I used to rip/buy music on a regular basis and no longer really feel the need to do so. I think it's probably useful to consider what the differences are between services and specifically what makes them anti-consumer.

You can configure gnome-shell to use static workspaces from the gnome-tweak-tool application as well.
That's weird, because my ages old i5 laptop renders it just fine.
What browser are you using? Are you maybe in power saving mode? Odd.
Opening the downloads window is bound to <C-j> on one and <C-S-Y> on the other. I can never remember which is which.
Same here with fluxbox, but xfce has always been a safe place for me.
You can at least both "Log Message" and "Evaluate" in Chrome with conditional break points. Calling console.log is falsy, so calling it from conditional break points just causes it to log the message (you also have access to any variables in scope of the breakpoint that you can use to build the message). You can do the same thing with executing random JavaScript. Just put the statement and add && false to make sure it always returns false.
Not the best writing style but still a fun read.

Could change a few things to create a big budget Hollywood script out of it: Terminator x Mad Max x Big Short x In Time. I'd probably watch it too.
>Most employees are at will, so we can quickly get rid of them if they aren't a fit.

While this is technically true, it's ridiculous to think most employers think this way. Onboarding costs (from placing ads to interviewing to extending offers to actually hiring to getting equipment issued to getting people signed up for all the crap they need to get signed up for to training etc) is MASSIVELY expensive.

A day of interviewing costs not only the flight & hotel for the candidate (presuming they're from out of town), but also the lost work time for everyone involved as interviewers.
I'm not worried about learning Dart. I'm worried about adding yet another tooling and OSS ecosystem to my collection, that's where the real cognitive burden is. I'll do it if I have to, but in mobile you really don't have to. You can choose from Java/Kotlin, Swift, .NET, and HTML+(Java/Type)Script - chances are you're already in one of these worlds, and if you're not then entering any one of them will pay much bigger dividends than Dart.
> the many crypto-currency members of the W3C warned that using browsers for secure, high-stakes applications like moving around peoples' life-savings could only happen if browsers were subjected to the same security investigations as every other technology in our life (except DRM technologies)

That's a very big point that's not emphasized enough in the article, IMHO.

If security researchers are (legally) prohibited from investigating EME technologies in browsers, then EME extensions become a big vector attack, and standards-compliant browsers that include them, become much less secure than browsers that don't.

As a user, I care about that a lot more than I care about Netflix' competitors. Netflix is not only unjustly protecting itself from future competition, it is directly threatening my own safety.
This kind of thing makes me want to vote with my dollar by canceling Netflix and torrent instead.
A lot of "fear of missing out" discussion in this thread. Keep in mind that calling market tops is a tricky business. If bitcoin crashes (as it often does after meteoric rises), it will no longer look smart to have invested at many times/price points.

There's a mania to the current market, but that's not enough information on its own to predict the size or timing of a correction. The cryptocurrency markets can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent, just like normal markets.
If you have any suggestion how to visualize prime numbers differently, please, let me know. :)

The European commission study you're referring to a) said that piracy did make a difference on Hollywood films (it said it didn't make much difference in other sectors, but for major films it did) and b) had such enormous margins of error it was essentially worthless.

You're not helping your case by bringing up evidence you don't site except for one example where it showed the opposite to your claims
Ah yes - you'll want to set the number of spaces to static first.
Seriously, be open minded about subjective opinion. There is no right/wrong.

Risk tolerance is, but refusing to diversify outside of real estate and precious metals is objectively a risky strategy without a history of outperforming lower-risk ones.
No. Wait for a drop of 20-30%. ;)
Browsers didn't respect Do Not Track.
It's really telling when the only news about it is how much people are buying it for.

Not a new use case. Not a new retailer accepting it. It's worth more because the same people who bought it last year will spend more to buy it this year.
Will bitcoin worths $100.000 on 2019? I mean, seriously.
Anyone have any idea why it exploded like this recently?
What exactly is a disgrace about it?
I agree with the thrust of your comment, but to nitpick:

> Books have been written around timing markets and it's generally accepted that it cannot be done reliably. To get out before a crash then buy cheap would require you to predict three different moments accurately: when to get in, when to get out, and then when to buy on the "cheap". Timing even one reliably requires luck or clairvoyance.

This doesn’t strike me as true, unless you’re describing the subset of academic economists who agree with EMH in some form. In particular, the first sentence on its own appears to be evidently untrue; it’s clear that there are many parties, including economists and financiers, who attempt to time the market and generally forecast macroeconomic shifts.
Indeed it is. Almost 50% of the women have it, but most of them don't even know it. It varies from painless to enormous pain.

My wife described the recurring pain as stomach full of slow moving very sharp knives.
The advice you're replying to is awful, do yourself a favor and don't follow it.

Why does everyone think buying puts or shorting stocks is as easy as going long? It's not. It's an even faster way of losing money! Go try it sometime--or even just simulate it. People who say these things are clueless.
I don't understand what you mean. DNT is a flag supposed to be respected by web services, not by browsers.
That's pretty impressive, but it didn't work in FF (Developer 57.0b1 64-bit) for me, had to change to chrome and then it seemed to be getting 8fps (at least that's what the readout on that page was).

The Infinitown posted here was (pretty much) buttery smooth though, and relatively fast loading time (especially the second time with cache), and I bet the codebase is a lot easier on the eyes, though it's likely nowhere near as efficient as writing it all in the shader obviously.

Is the world just waiting for a no-dependency cross browser MMO/shooter/whatever 3D game to take the world by storm? Why worry about Steam when people can just go to a website, if the experience is good enough and the game is simple enough? I must not know enough about the industry/how hard it is to make a good game + how hard it is to make a truly good browser-only game.

Hiring in a Startup
In most of these types of jobs you directly bill the client for licence acquisition for the type of usage (after the client approves the artwork/design).

Forget to do that and now you need to pay out for acquiring the licence afterwards - and you'd better hope there was nobody identifiable in it because getting a modelling release afterwards can be even more expensive (after all, both the photographer and the model know they have you over a barrel).

Also don't bother billing the client afterwards, after that kind of screw up you'll be on eggshells with the client. Do it twice and you definitely won't have a client to worry about.
People don't go to Netflix because they can't get it anywhere else. Bittorrent is still a thing.

People go to Netflix because you pay once and then you can just watch stuff.

So they don't really need any sort of protection to stop piracy. They need it to corner and control the legal market.
Train your weak hands and hodl. Don't sell.
Productivity in any market requires investment. Here Uber needs to build a network of drivers and passengers, so they spend money subsidizing rides until the network grows to a sustainable size. How is this different than what any other competitor does? For example, bus transport companies need to buy buses and arrange routes before they can take passengers. Manufacturing companies need to design products and build factories before they can produce. Skilled workers need to go to school and practice before they can be hired as skilled workers. Etc. The exact nature of investment varies, but the general idea that competing effectively requires upfront investment is the same. Investment is not unfair; it is how productivity rises and civilization progresses.

> There's a fixed supply of willing drivers ...

The supply of willing drivers varies by wages. Also the supply of willing passengers varies by prices. Uber's success depends on being able to entice drivers with higher wages and passengers with lower prices. To the extent that they are successful, they make both groups better off.

> Unlike with cloud services (the other example) it's much harder for competition to Uber to reappear once it's disappeared. There's a fixed supply of willing drivers and big network effects at play.

This is exactly backwards. Once a large network of drivers and passengers connected by smartphones has been established, a competitor has only to offer its own smartphone app to compete. The hard part is building the network and changing people's behaviors.
I said that confidently yesterday when it surged to 9800 but here we are 12 hours later, still at 9800 (at least on my exchange!)

The sell wall at 10k is pretty huge.
I have been using XFCE, but I'm in the process of switching.

I think they project is going to die in the future, not necessarily in an abandonment sense, but it will severely lag behind, due to lack of resources (I also think the developers behind it are not really good).

Thunar (the file manager) had, for around an year, a bug where around 20% of the time, moving/deleting a file would cause a crash - this was in fact marked as critical.
There have been some clumsy attempts to fix it, until the fix came out after a long time.

Thunar is also, mysteriously, for several reasons, an enemy of keyboard users (try to use it this way, and you'll understand).

It's not realistic to switch file manager, as there is a disconnection in the desktop usage workflows, and unfortunately, the file manager is a core part of a DE.

Of course, not everybody has such requirements from a file manager/DE, so it may be a good choice for many, although it's not really true that all the other Ubuntu distros are so disruptive, in particular, at least a comparable one isn't (and I suspect there are more than one).

After seeing React upgrade the entire library to v16 to enable entirely new use cases, without breaking the API... I'm pretty impressed. That's in production right now

If Flutter does something cool like provide better native component libraries it might end up as a library inside the React API
I don't think KDE is really quite there yet. For me and from what I've seen and heard it can be extremely unstable (and that's using KDE Neon which ships the up-to-date version of KDE). Hell, at this point I'm giving up on S3 sleep and KDE because after starting it up again KDE is sure to crash a lot when doing simple things like switching to other apps etc.

You answered the question yourself below but you cannot peg a currency to another if you don't have the reserves, less with cryptocurrencies where you don't have a central bank who can rescue you. This is economy 101 not an opinion. Fractional reserves can work in fiat currencies but not in the cryptocurrency world.

Retailers accepting it just isn't "news" anymore. This isn't 2012.
It does need to be perfect to achieve that. If only one pirate can bypass the protection then everyone can just go to a streaming site and watch the movies without DRM.

Controlling illegitimate users is impossible. Therefore the purpose of DRM is control over legitimate users to the point where they can harm legitimate competitors.

After basically 0% net growth in the market for over a year leading up to the election, there has been a 25% boom beginning exactly on the day after Trump won. That is no coincidence. The markets are anticipating Trump's promised massive deregulatory push (already well underway), tax cuts, a more union-hostile Justice Department and NLRB, and other business-friendly changes.
State-controlled markets are not automatically socialist, they can for example be communist in nature too.

Capitalism doesn't require a free market. As evidenced by American ISP's, all you need is capital and the will to have more of it plus the cooperation of the government.

Freedom is not involved in Capitalism nor is it an evident feature of it.

A DJ making a bootleg DnB track for a dubplate or free release on SC, is somewhat different from a multi-national corporation copying someone's images for the premium edition of a boxed retail release of some of their flagship content. Your comparison is disingenuous.

Not least because a DJ's primary function is mixing together music.

Also for commercial release for sale in Target, they'd presumably get clearance on the samples.

And as for your "based on who is involved" rhetorical question, yeah it does matter, and it's not the same thing.

Ironically in the case, Netflix are pretty chill and PR savvy about this stuff.

Interview with Fast Growing Berlin Crypto Startup – Coin Portfolio
Let's not forget how great DO's support is too.

Even if you're only operating at 1x $5/month droplet (their lowest instance type), you'll still get top grade email support included with your plan.

Getting a response in a few hours is almost guaranteed and often times they'll even help you debug problems that go beyond the scope of their infrastructure.

Compare that to something like AWS which charge you an extra $29/month minimum (or 3% of your AWS bill) to speak to an entry level support person through email.

What were the pension funds invested in? You do understand that the reason to move to 401K style plans is because pension obligations were over-promised and under-delivered by the same snake oil salesmen you describe. You understand that, correct? At least with individual plans, when people change jobs they get to keep whatever they contributed versus a pension plan which has varying types of payouts and much longer vesting schedules.

>I'm not sure there's any moral to this

There's not, you're like every other financial analyst claiming the market will go up or down tomorrow. Your whole analysis is basically "buy low/sell high". That's not meant to be an insult, there's just nothing in your posts justifying being correct.

Cryptocurrency is pure speculation. You can't know if an exchange is going to blow up or get defrauded or hacked. You can't know how regulators are going to treat it in the future unless you're in the room. Then there is understanding forks and the development process and the drama around that. Then you could always get hacked and lose your money.

It's a financial instrument requiring enormous amounts of concentration and technical ability just to participate at the baseline. Which is fine if you already have enough money to afford the time to do that, and to afford a complete loss of investment. It's always fundamentally about what level of risk you are willing to tolerate.

Two months from now, $10k could be seen as a completely reasonably buy-in price when it hits $30k. We just have no idea how high it's going to go because it's the first of its kind.
So true. Whenever stuff gets "convenient" for me as a developer, I ask myself what the downside of this "convenience" for me is that will have to be endured by others. Often times it's inconveniences for the guys who have to operate the thing that I develop later (the single greatest things about this DevOps hype is that it made quite some developers experience the operational pain that their creations inflict first-hand, thereby making them less likely to take "convenient-for-them" shortcuts that make operations much less convenient). Sometimes it's inconveniences for other developers working on the same project. Other times it's inconveniences for developers maintaining the product later (which might as well include me, too).

Whatever the inconvenience is, I need to be able to stand in for them being an acceptable price to pay for my personal convenience. And that is much more likely to be the case if I carry the "inconvenience" part of the equation, while others get the "convenience" part - like the operations people, or the end user, or other developers. That's because I consider myself a professional who's getting paid good money to make other people's life easier, especially if those "other people" vastly outnumber myself or the few other devs on my project team. That is the essence of my job, and it's not intended to be "convenient" for me - developer convenience is therefore one of the least-relevant criteria by which I ought to choose how I'm going to do it.

Developers who highly value "convenient" solutions are bloody amateurs in my book, especially if they can't even envision the ways in which their convenience has to be paid for by others.

How is Unum any different? Looking at the contract:

1. Contract owner can withdraw the ETH balance at any time.

2. Contract owner can control the Oracle.

3. If there's not enough ETH balance in the contract, you can't change your unum tokens back to ETH.
But even if it pops, it will get back up some day. It sucks, but you get to keep your "lottery ticket".

I've struggled with the FOMO myself, mostly because I've watched it so long (or like to tell myself I knew about bitcoin earlier than the average person), but I came to the same realization that I think is critical:

Bitcoin is just like other stores of value that fluctuate in price based on some mix of speculation and "actual" value. If you're FOMOing about Bitcoin, why not fear missing out about bluechip stocks? or owning real estate? or futures? or bullion?

It is true that creation events for stores of value don't happen just happen every year/decade/century but I wonder why the FOMO around Bitcoin is so acute (for me at least)... it's like a penny stock that I feel like I should have known was going to pop

[EDIT] - bouillon -> bullion
