I think you are right, there are two types of scenarios: streaming and offline play.

I would think Spotify would need both types of licenses, or disable offline play for songs they don't/won't license.
How the Å came to be
> many streaming services that have a large customer base

And arguably Spotify only has a large customer base because it has the content people want. It's very similar to a chicken and egg problem.

As of the most recent visa bulletin, the (quota limited) family-based categories are 2-13 years behind (different in each category) globally, with some countries much worse, notably Mexico where one category is at the same 2 year backlog that the category has globally, and the rest are 20-22 years behind.

This stuff goes on the most in San Francisco of any US city, but that still might be just a very small portion of the city I want to say.

Love communes or any “orgy” related group have a long history in the US, going all the way back to the early 19-century in New York State. By the 1970’s, most free-love and BDSM communities were in California. All of them collapsed after some period of time, although a large portion of those failures were for simple economic reasons.

Today, Nicole Daedone’s “OneTaste” group is probably the most famous, I guess you would say, “alternative love making” group in SF that very smartly combined meditation just as it was getting popular with mutual masturbation (less intimidating for people than sex). Tim Ferris wrote about them in his book “The Four Hour Body”.

Also recently Neil Strauss’s book “The Truth” goes into detail on a lot of these communities. That book took place I think in 2014ish, and it seemed there were many bdsm, multi-partner, free-love groups in SF that were easy for him to find.

If orgies are fine then why aren’t they part of mainstream culture? They aren’t part of the mainstream culture because orgies themselves are opposed to the things that are part of a working society: sacrifice, honor, wisdom, and self control.

Good point about the ease of checking kernel pointers. That doesn't address process isolation generally, however, unless you're willing to segment virtual memory in the same way.

As to NACL, it relies on various CPU protection mechanisms, and also makes some major trade-offs: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c.... On x86, NACL uses the segmentation mechanism. On x86-64, which has no segmentation registers, it masks addresses and requires all memory references to be in a 4GB space. To handle various edge cases, and to speed up stack references, it relies on huge guard areas on either side of the module heap and stack, thus relying on the virtual memory system. Finally, likely to mitigate the overhead of masking, it does not address reads at all, and relies on the virtual memory system to protect secret browser information from the sandboxed process. Even with these limitations, on about half the SPEC benchmarks the overhead is 15-45%.

>"we got sued by every 2 bit operation that owned a partial percentage of the country-based rights to a song"

Were these these each each country's performing rights societies then? I am confused on why these are partial percentages. I would have though that they would be 100% owned in each country. Does the performing right society divide up 1 pie amongst all its affiliates in each of the countries.

Do you have any idea what the final amount Vivendi paid out to straighten everything out? I am guessing they had good idea of that before the acquisition, so I am guessing it was still a good investment for them.

I used to use Maven but I've moved completely to Gradle.

With Maven, if you follow Maven's way of doing things, everything just works. But, if you need to do something different, or have some rare use case Maven's designers weren't focused on, you start struggling a lot to get Maven to do what you want.

Gradle is a lot more flexible and if you have some uncommon requirement you are far more likely to successfully implement it using Gradle than using Maven.

But you see, the thing is with commercial music is that the music owner is not a single entity. There is a composer, if there are lyrics there is a lyricist, if it was translated then there is a translator, if it’s a cover or remix there is an arranger, there is a publisher that published the music, there might be a sub-publisher, then there is a record label… One of the main reasons behind the existence of this complex system of rights is the complex ownership structure of the copyright and related rights.
I get that this article is 10 years old now but I like the principle of it, to a certain extent. My biggest gripe with some of the newer usage of CSS (including BEM and SMACSS) is that it loses the separation of concerns that is supposed to make HTML/CSS modular. The intent of the web was for content and we're getting farther and farther away from that to the point where now even CSS can cause bit-rot. People are using CSS for everything as tightly-packaged modules that look great when the CSS is loaded correctly but that don't really function without the CSS/HTML as explicitly paired. I know that's what some people want now but I can't help but feel like this is contributing to the mess.

That being said, variables are useful. I have no problem using variables in a CSS preprocessor and don't really care one way or the other whether it's included in the CSS spec.
You are missing the point.

OP used "code is punk" as a metaphor for "just do it without getting bogged down by theory".

I've been a Buddybuild user for the past couple months after watching the founder, Dennis, give a talk at a meetup. Great product with a super easy setup. Really bummed that I'll likely have to find a new solution after only two months (though I understand the founder's decision). Can anyone recommend a product with a similar ease of setup?

Buddybuild was my first foray into mobile CI. Have not seen the need since our iOS dev team is one-person strong (me!) but once I've realized the benefits, there's no going back.
Converge | ONSITE | Full time

About us:

Converge’s mission is to make construction and industry efficient, safe and sustainable by bringing data-driven decision making to the worksite. We make it easy to deploy large-scale wireless sensor networks and analyse the physical data they produce, and are convincing the world’s largest, most traditional and risk-averse industrial companies to embrace IoT. We have deployed on some of the UK's largest residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects, and are now expanding into Europe and SE Asia.

We're a small(ish) team but growing rapidly (7 in Dec. '16, 20 in Dec. '17) and have a diverse set of nationalities, age ranges and backgrounds as well as reasonable gender diversity (although we want to, and are, improving on this).

(PS. website is very out of date, currently undergoing a redesign so it's not a great place to look for info on us)

Looking for:

Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Email: hiring@converge.io to apply

https://angel.co/converge/jobs/86838-senior-embedded-systems...

One part of our product is our wireless sensor network which collects physical data from worksites (e.g. a construction site) and delivers them to our servers for analysis. These have to be low-power, robust, and secure as we operate in some very hostile environments for IoT products. We are looking for a Senior Embedded Systems with experience building and delivering connected products (preferably in an industrial setting), as well as with experience of team leadership in this field.

Requires:

- experience building and delivering internet-connected products;

- experience leading an embedded-systems team;

- excellent embedded C/C++ knowledge;

- good understanding of security on constrained devices;

- experience with RTOSs.

Nice to have:

- knowledge / experience of mesh networking;

- knowledge / experience of LoRa / other LPWANs;

- good electronics design ability.
>"Doesn't having an offline mode run counter to this claim? That's clearly reproducing it."

I agree with this. Even if it only lives an encrypted cache you are effectively doing a bit by bit reproduction when you offline sync. They do expire once the user hadn't logged in for some amount of time, I believe it's something like after 30 days of not logging in or refreshing a token.

Back when I was going to ecstasy-fueled weekend-long after parties at peoples houses, there was a lot more talking, hugging and dancing happening than sex.

I only ever attended one party with MDMA. After I took a 1/2 tab, I emerged from the kitchen thinking to myself, "I'm going to try and give a massage to every woman in this living room!" I never made it past the cute med student who took the other 1/2 of the tab, and we both left the party with the illusion that we had just found our soul mates, then proceeded to have a 2 week relationship that suddenly evaporated.

I think that was 1999. It's confusing to talk about these things, because "ecstasy" or "E" means something very different today than what it referred to back then.

> First of all, tons of flash games are archived.

Tons of them are archived but these are a tiny minority, at its hayday there were hundreds of Flash games released per day. A lot of that stuff are or will be lost forever.

> Second, how is the web worse than a compiled binary that you don’t have source code access?

The web is worse because for the application to run it needs to be loaded off that web site and the user has no control over that. I cannot for example preserve Google Docs or any other web application i like - i just have to hope that it'll remain online, will keep working with my computer without issues like slowing down and wont change its UI to something i dislike (people often use older versions just to be able to run or because they like the older UIs better).

> Games that are made for the web are easier to preserve and run in the future than native games by a long shot.

How can you preserve a game that you have not full access to its files? Only the developer has that power and developers for the most part have shown over and over that they do not care about the games and applications they make after a couple of years or so.

I have games from companies that closed doors more than a decade ago, if those games were web games, they'd be gone the moment the company shuts down. Or more likely, the moment the company decides they do not want to pay for the bandwidth of accessing the game anymore, like what happened to several MMOs (many of whom are perfectly fine playable solo) already.

> Would you rather run a browser that can play all of the games on the web in a backwards compatible way or rely on emulators for previous operating systems or game consoles?

I'd rather rely on native OS support (above all), compatibility layers like dgVoodoo2 (for 3DFX and older DirectX compatibility in Windows) and Wine (before dgVoodoo2 it was the best way to play old 3D games for Windows) and of course emulators. Remember the games i mentioned above about companies that do not exist anymore? Several of them are for DOS and running perfectly fine in DOSBox.

As i wrote in the message you replied to, it is all about who controls the files and personally i want to have full control of them because i do not trust the developers with that control - they have proven time and time again to not be trustworthy (not necessarily because of their fault, of course, but that is little importance when you lose an game or application you like).
Ask HN: Where can I find a good tutorial for ARKIT
I'm looking for a good tutorial on how to start developing AR apps for the iPhone. The other day, I played an AR game on my iPhone and it felt absurdly futuristic, it really feels like there are huge potential opportunities for this technology. My background exists in web development but I'd really like to try and get a better understanding of this technology, especially since it seems like it could take over the world.
Probably not as many as you may think - first, consider the sheer scale of the Indian ocean. Second, open-ocean sailing only became commonplace in the last 200 years. Before then, if you were going from say Spice Islands to Zanzibar, you would hug the mainland Asian coast line as long as possible, except for "short" jumps across the Arabian sea and bay of bengal.
Have you thought about writing up your findings? I haven't seen any report break out the data like that before.
DDos is already handled cleanly by something like netcode.io using access tokens.

Anything more than the most trivial NAT traversal isn't needed since any online game worth their salt uses dedicated servers in order to prevent cheating and gamestate manipulation.

The fact that you're bringing up a 1200 byte packet limit shows that you have no understanding of the domain space. Most networking stacks keep the packet size well under 200 bytes since they don't want to saturate the connection and dead-reckoning deals with state reconciliation.

Binary size also matters, so the fact that you want to bring in a whole codec when it may not be wanted isn't a great selling point either.

I'm sure there's a market out there given how RAD Tools and other middleware companies do just fine. However I don't think you know enough about the domain to be able to sell it successfully.
It isn't that we all live in peace and harmony, but any conflict would happen so rapidly and conclusively that 99% of time after the Singularity would be peace time.

my G!! lol....if Kotlin was available back then, I definitely would've jumped on that ship. Now it seems mobile isn't really viable in terms of money though
Cool, I didn't know the literature references. However what I was asking was whether the specific phrase "the bootstrap method" was used for this thing in theoretical physics. I only know the statistical concept, which _is_ called "the bootstrap method"; this physics thing sounds to me more like a "theory" or "model" than a "method" and I wondered if perhaps the journalist had got "the bootstrap method" from google hits (which are overwhelmingly dominated by the statistical concept) and thus muddied the waters slightly. A fairly unimportant question, to be sure.
Pairing video games with other text/media
As I see it, if you don't vote the wrong president might win. Dirty txes jeopardise the asset value and you could be left with a tyrant in your chain who has even more voting stake. It's self-regulating in that way. But there may be another consistency issue I'm not aware of.
I especially dislike this type of pairing because it makes it an explicit requirement for the content and presentation to be together. I prefer content to be separate from styling, as intended by CSS, simply because we can't predict what the future will bring. Content will always remain content when it's semantic but presentation can and will change as time goes on.
