Accidental tech claims 75k listeners on average per episode, which brings them to about 7 cents per impression, or a $73 CPM, which is about 6x what Spotify charges.

But accidental tech is a 2 hour podcast, in which time they run 3 ads, but Spotify probably runs at least 12.

IMO the biggest challenge is not going to be finding the money to pay them, but negotiating with musicians who may not be happy dividing up the pie.
x264 -tune zerolatency?
JHipster Conference – June 21st
My activity in this realm has been to contribute to open source software, both as an author and as an administrator.

I see it as a win-win-win for workers (the developers who write the code), their employers (who invest in open source as a superior product), and the software industry and society at large (through increased productivity and a better model for collaboration).
The article mentions that AV1 is slow. I seem to remember that H.264 was painfully slow in the beginning. Is this simply a matter of waiting for hardware to add support for AV1? Or does someone need to sit down at the spinning wheel and write some assembly?
Sure, I don't dispute the health risks of excessive starch and sugar consumption for either ducks, horses or children, but the nutritional value of starch and sugar is very real indeed. Animal cells rely on glucose as their primary source of energy, you can't get more real than that.

I get what they intend to say, but when they use categorical language like that at least one word has to yield its actual meaning, whether it's 'nutrition', 'real' or 'value'. It's a bit like the Clintonian interpretation of 'is'.

As much as I hate to say it, linkedin is extremely valuable for this.

When we were getting our business off the ground I wrote connection request messages to the C level guys in large companies we were hoping to work with. I was honest and said that id like to talk with them just to see if what we were thinking of doing was something they would be interested in.

A lot of them responded (especially ones from start-up backgrounds) and the resulting discussions were extremely positive. Even where we didn't end up working with them we learned a lot. But most of them are our clients/partners now.

Its amazing how many people are just happy to help. Im my experience the lowest & highest levels of the companies are the easiest to approach.

If you would like to connect with people but they are not in your network a good idea is to connect to headhunters or people who post a lot in that industry. It shouldn't take many to build up a network of 2nd level contacts you can send a connection request message to directly.

Hi!

>Still supported by 260-byte filepaths.

Because now programs that thought "260 is enough" now only have 190 left, and i've seen (and had software not work with) several pieces of software that have more than that. Because the assumption is that this is a solved problem on all OSs, and that 260 is no longer a hard limit.

>Asking nevertheless: Why? The path to the network share should be easy to abbreviate.

Because that doesn't actually solve the problem. I can abbreviate it on my connection, but not on the server, and if the server is running some poorly written software, it will choke when from my point of view i'm only using 190 characters. As for why, it's segmented by country/company/department/team/name/employeeid/

Then it is my folder, where I have things like clientInformation/[softwarePackage]/[client]/[testFiles|documentation|uniqueArchitecture]

Just the example without any real names is over 100 already. I just went and looked, I was being conservative with my 70-character estimate, a few of my folders are over 180 characters long just to the [client] part of my path.

Also why abbreviate it when we can write software that can handle that for us? Why should I need to shorten my paths to potentially confusing and misleading names just so some people can ignore solved problems in the name of "complexity". Not to mention that abbreviation isn't really a "solution" (what happens when there are collisions? Now you need a complicated "maintained and interpreted by humans" system to manage it, that's not simpler, that's more complex).

I'm honestly not going to respond to the rest, because we both know that those are strawman arguments.

Once upon a time, not so long ago (within your parents lifetime if not your own), all advertising by medical providers was considered illicit and prohibited by standards of professional conduct.

It's interesting to see how attitudes have changed.
Our bodies are physically isolated from others.

Our emotions, ideas, etc. are not.

When a crowd at a football game emotes, they all emote together.. inevitably and causally functioning as a coherent whole. Because the individuals cannot chose their reactions, they react the same way. They adopt a purpose, agency, goals and emotional structure that is only rationally intelligble when applied to the whole group.

Morality is founded in this inevitable common reaction to circumstances which binds people together under common purpose. Isolating people destroys their ability to act acording to their moral desires... you impair yourself to be how you would wish to be.

That's to say nothing of the mere collective action problems involved in any system of "mere individuals" whose cooperation cannot be guaranteed.

NB. incidentally, (nearly?) all human success is founded in coherent group action. The individual is a stupid useless distractable ape. Only in concert with a common-purpose-with-others do we succeed.

This is, after all, what a "business" is.
Windows 10 will continue to get incremental updates into the indefinite future.

That's one way to look at it. Another is that Microsoft doesn't offer long-term support for their current OS any more, at least for those users who aren't enterprise-scale where the rules of the game seem to be somewhat different even with Windows 10.
Surely it will work on the Mac as well, right? As well as Android and iOS?

Is CX for SaaS Companies Really Worth the Effort?
The difference between (a) an existing, off-patent molecule and a (b) patentable variant of that molecule is somewhat trivial compared to all of the other costs of bringing a drug to market.

But to address your specific question, generics are drugs that come onto the market all of the time without patent protection.

It's not just people working with computers. Stuff like the demo scene is quite different, and games too. Or at least used to be.
While it is possible that this whole incident was due to some sort of shared hysteria, I don't think one can elevate that to the most plausible explanation for a few reasons:

1. This has a national security and counterintelligence aspect to it. For that reason, there may be evidence that proves the source and nature of the attack(s) that is classified.

2. This article keeps going back to 'it's impossible for an acoustic device to cause brain damage'. This assertion is coming from a guy who doesn't seem to be an expert on that particular subject. And just because he is not aware of such a thing, doesn't mean "it's impossible'.

3. A lot of focus is on the very specific language of an 'acoustic attack' but the incident could have been caused by microwave radiation. Indeed in the 60's US intelligence has uncovered Russian listening devices that were activated remotely with microwaves. Back then, they could find no definitive link to any cognitive degradation but who knows what technology may be in play today.

There was another story about a similar incident involving 2 NSA employees who were deployed to a clandestine location who experienced nervous system disease afterwards.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/was-a-spys-parkinsons-d...

Maybe these were all imagined incidents or something else is at play but I wouldn't dismiss it as hysteria out of hand, given what is publicly known.
I've worked in a few place like that. Micromanagement pushed people to do just enough to get by. They also created strategies to avoid the extreme oversight and inflate their metrics to stay off the managers bad list.

All this does is push people to fight the system more.
For anyone interested in making little games in Golang, Termloop[1] is a terminal-based engine (though it uses text to render rather than this iTerm-specific feature).

Thanks for recommending Pygame. I will check this out.
A small comment for clarification; my remark about making the game less mechanical is for the part of the game that automates the simple, purely deterministic, constaints. So there are two things: Automation of simple deterministic things, that makes the game less mechanical, plus "Request help" that makes the game less random. The two are separate.

I don't think this speaks to your central point, however :)
Ouch. Not so interesting after all then.

Does Go even have some "standard" SDL bindings? I was googling the other day (with the aim of learning Go through doing something fun) and I found like 6 results only on the first page. Didn't go and try any of them because to be honest that's depressing... i bet that if there are 6 different bindings none is feature complete.

Is Go useful just for server side stuff then?

As it is, "those of you who don't want anything to do with Windows 10" will need to either get over it or switch to another platform. Windows 7 only has a couple years left. As it is, a surprising number of good apps are released through the Windows Store and only operate on Windows 10 machines. This will continue to increase over time.
This is well done. Love the filtering.

Thank you!

And quite frankly, if you don't need anything newer than that, you'd probably be perfectly happy with Libre Office. I moved our office to using it because our needs are pretty simple: we need to type out letters from time to time, mail them, then move on to the next.
I don’t think industry is the floor you think it is. They’ll happily pay as little as they can for it.

I think the more honest measure is simply how many people have faith in it. Bitcoin and gold may be logically equivalent for this function, but a lot more people have a lot more faith in gold.
No strawmans in the slightest. Exactly the same kind of very real (and not really solveable) "problems".

It's beyond me how far removed from reality these arguments are. You have insanely long paths, and that's still miles away from a reasonable limit (256 bytes), and they could easily be fixed (which would be a win on all non-technical fronts as well), but still you're complaining for no good reason. You clearly lack experience with low-level issues - just imagine what a technical mess it is in Windows to support longer paths (I think there is a concept called "junction points" to support them). Please, can we turn to actual problems?
> Sure, there are ethical schools of pragmatism, and we surely include them in our ethical discussions (trolley car problems etc) but how the law lands on the trolley car is NOT any sort of arbiter of ethics?

So you’re not disagreeing then. We’re saying the same thing: legal definitions are relevant and should be included in discussion, but they do not have to be agreed with because are not intrinsically correct.

I didn’t ask the parent comment for agreement with legislation, I asked for acknowledgement in an ethical discussion because it’s relevant.

Ok, I believe we are arguing semantics here ...

But sure morality is in social context, but still I choose to act moraly or not. That was my point.
And I can also choose a different morality from the mainstream.

The option to care for animals/nature for example is something quite new (or very old). And it changed, because people decided to care about it.
And there are still many who have the old codex, that we as man can do whatever we want to lower lifeforms. (to which some include humans of different color/class/gender)
You have the technical answer, but I think the more useful answer is human based.

Content providers will stay dual stack basically indefinitely - abslutely no website operator wants to lose even 1% of their traffic due to a technical limitation, so I do not expect demand for v4-enabled websites to die off any time soon. I would expect 95%+ v6 usage before you even see this being a thing commercially, and even at those numbers only very small marginal operations will go v6 only.

The consumers and consumer ISPs have both a better technical solution, as well as no consumer ISP gives a shit if their customers can't access 2% of the internet.
Therefore the change due to both technical reasons and simple game theory must come from the "eyeballs" side of the equation.

Former neuroscientist here.

It's indicative that this was written in the 80's. Brain/mind scientists have always adopted the science/technology of their time as analogies, for better or worse. (Think of Freud's "pressures" and "venting" in the era of the steam engine.) The first cognitive scientists were borrowing from then-nascent computers and casting brains as information-processing modules.

Unfortunately, this particular essay does a poor job of showing that cognitive science is as unsound as "domestic science". The value of an analogy or model is in its explanatory power, and cognitive science did not do too badly there.

E.g., the hierarchy of the visual system: as it passes from one module to the next, retinal input gets turned into lines, line junctions get turned into corners, edges are combined into shapes, etc. One virtue is that, like any sequential process, this explains why damage in an earlier area stops later processing; if you damage V1, the later color area has no information to work with. (You can imagine an alternative where every visual area receives all retinal input, so you'd lose the ability to see lines/edges, but not colors.)

The author seems to be writing a much larger treatise on our mistaken theories of the nature of mind, but this particular essay is unconvincing.
They haven't moved away from major version numbers, "Windows 10" is just the product name now (like Mac OS X used to be). The major version is "Fall Creators Update" etc (monthly updates provide the equivalent of minor versions).
