I think Abbey Road (and probably other studios of the era) had an ambiphonic system similar to as described in the paper. They had an array of speakers built into the walls of their recording room so that could feed back signals from it, artificially changing the length of the reverb decay of the room.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. Locking your front door is a good idea despite the fact that it's easy to get passed that door.

Also, if your neighbors see someone throw a brick through your front door they will probably call the police. If they see a person "delivering a package" they won't.
A quick google search says that Spotify is using 144 MB/h for high-quality streaming[1] (premium only), so that's roughly 1 GB per person per working day. That's quite a bit - without Spotify, I burn through roughly 500 MB per day when working.

When I ripped my LP collection I first saved each recording out as FLAC (16 bits @ 48kHz), then re-exported it as VBR MP3. Audacity (a Mac recording app) makes this easy. I keep the FLAC files on my home server for future use (or for when 1TB microSD cards become cheap :-).

Most of the posts on my newsfeed are posted by random parents which have added me over the years. Facebook even sends me text messages and emails to “come back”. I get random notifications about some ‘friend’ I haven’t spoken too in 10 years posted something on Facebook...like that will bring me back to your platform.

I haven’t found a way to disable those alerts and notifications.

I’m happy with Instagram because it just serves a simple purpose.
Most people are actually quite happy to be manipulated. When my newborn cries because he made a poopy diaper, I come running to change it and think it's cute, because millions of years of evolution have pruned the gene pool of everyone who is indifferent to these cries. When people donate to a political party, they're being manipulated, but they happily view it as civic engagement and people power. When charities send out fundraising solicitations, they're manipulating their donors (sometimes quite blatantly), but people give anyway. When your manager gives you praise for a job well done in lieu of additional financial compensation, he's manipulating you, but most people want the praise anyway.

Questions of good vs. bad manipulation usually center around regret. When your future self looks back at your present, manipulated self, do they regret the interaction? For the door-to-door salesman, the answer is usually yes: best case you're like "I want those 5 minutes of my life back", worst case you're like "I bought something I totally didn't need". For the charitable donation, usually your future self continues to believe "I did a good deed", unless your values change significantly, and so you willingly participate in their manipulation. Advertising (particularly search advertising) is in that grey area where if you end up finding the product useful, the ad performed a vital service, while if you ended up buying something useless, you were manipulated.
Thanks for the comprehensive answer. From some of your points I see it differently;

NYT article: This comes from an economist that loves to push MMT. I actually studied economies under the guy that coined this term. He's a super smart guy but I dont agree with it in the theory probably works in a bubble. It seems a classic case of academia vs reality. Very unusual for economists haha. I'd suggest you read some criticisms of MMT if you haven't before you push it as a truism.

- Default: This attitude is cant happen to a monetarily sovereign nation is a little ignorant of history. Sure US can print/credit but then inflation. And being the worlds reserve currency give a bunch of leeway but this isnt a fixed variable, and is increasingly under threat. End of the day it's a confidence point and the US can lose this creating a run domestically and/or internationally.

- Interest rates are only under control while the market has confidence they will be repaid. Sure some FI's are held to a certain level of treasuries but plenty of existing market demand can leave, taking with it the Feds ability to control rates. At the end of the day if the risk/reward ratio get outta whack the fed will lose their ability to control rates at any scale and especially when they attempt to recycle existing debt.

- China. I dont understand your logic here. It's a supply and demand market. If its (do I understanding you?) as easy as the Feb buying up any excess demand that is a limited game. The FED probably did well with QE but that's a limited tool, needs to unwind at some point, and we wont truly know the effect for some time.

Inflation: Possibly. What if we hit stagflation? And US has a strong resistance to tax increases. There is a possibility for US to inflate their way out of this debt. It would need to be well managed for many decades which seems low probability with the current political management.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying default will happen. We'd needs some serious events to trigger this. I do feel it is a possibility and am amazed some people feel it's in the risk likelihood of a meteor strike.

Network Engineer looking for a new direction
Hello world!

I've been a network engineer for a relatively short 4 years but jobs for this position seem to be dwindling fast.

Currently unemployed and looking to skill up in a new direction. 5 years from now I could see myself working remotely, with a startup or small to midsize business. It would be great if the direction I take could be complimented by my networking knowledge.

In my previous job I worked with Full-Proxies (F5 BigIP) and really enjoyed being more involved with security and application delivery.

Any gurus out there have suggestions for me? I should mention I have very little coding experience and generally don't enjoy coding.

Cheers!
Philip

It is indeed a mess. After sharing an iCloud account for years my wife and I decided to upgrade our Apple Music to a family account so we could have separate music (and listen to music on different devices at the same time). Apple decided this must mean we also want separate iCloud accounts and upon logging into her own Apple Music account, also proceeded to remove our 15 years of family photos and a couple of years of shared notes from her device. Now she can't see the photos I've taken or any of her old photos unless we use the sharing functionality (we take a lot of photos of our kids and having them auto sync on both devices was brilliant for us). We tried doing it the manual way but it was such a pain.

Since Apple music's family service wasn't compatible with how we use our devices, we cancelled Apple Music and got a family account on Spotify instead. When Apple Music expired it wiped all the playlists we had in iTunes including ones I created years before Apple Music was ever a thing and not even containing any music from Apple Music.

I'm thinking of also dumping iCloud, but I really like the automatic backing up of all our photos to all of our devices. Heck, at this point I would switch to Android as well if it weren't for the years of apps I've purchased for Apple and don't want to buy again.

"Assume good faith" is a tall order, when you have to deal with people everyday.
So ironic that the video shows a sophisticated electronic attack against a cheap wooden door with glass panels, a key-in-the knob cylinder, and a mail slot. It weakens the PR impact of the video. They should have filmed it Mission Impossible style at a house with solid locks and doors. :)

As an aside: It baffles me how people spend tens of thousands of dollars on things like ornamental molding but can't spend hundreds of dollars on good physical security. One of the funnier purchases are those fancy door handles--with names like "Aged Venetian Bronze with Georgian Entry Knob"--that come with crappy cylinders like Kwikset or Weiser, yet cost more than high-security Medeco or Abloy deadbolts.
I am medically handicapped. Writing online is something I can consistently do without ending up in the ER. My condition is currently well controlled cheaply with diet and lifestyle. It is supposed to cost upwards of $100k annually for medical care and that would also have me facing higher living expenses. Getting healthier has dropped my food bill alone by more than a thousand dollars a month.

And this is not really a discussion about me. I happen to be impacted by it and willing to speak to firsthand experience as a content producer.

This discussion is about advertising and how that supports the free internet everyone expects while everyone then complains loudly about how advertising is the work of the devil.

Blaming me for failing to find a solution here when monetization of content is in widespread crisis is a convenient means to sidestep the actual issue.
And then you overtake those people, when an appropriate gap appears. Or you exercise patience and wait.
I think social media is dead and Facebook a bubble for parents, fake-politican bots and old poeple.
Anecdotally, I haven't been on Facebook in months. In spite of that, I wouldn't be surprised if my account is counted somehow in the daily usage for some of those days just because of the extent to which their services have extended throughout many other websites. I've joined, canceled, then joined again, but never really used the site to any large extent. It is a very unnatural (yet at times necessary) way to communicate with people.

The decline of Facebook is in no way the decline of technology-enhanced socializing. People will hopefully just find other more natural ways to do so. My hope is on decentralized apps that allow people to own and control access to their own data.
While I get your point it should also be noted that an area can only sustain so many plumbers and electricians. It's not like there are hundreds of new plumber jobs opening up every year, especially in a place like Upstate NY with a shitty economy. They need people to get educated but then come back home and help improve the home economy.

Of course I say this as someone who moved from Upstate NY to Texas for work.
In other words, you feel a sort of peer pressure to speed, in order to match speed with those people?
The sole reason I use Spotify is it’s fantastic (community created) playlists and great recommendations. Once Apple Music catches up to that, I may switch to it because Spotify’s UI is truly awful.

I want to go back to Apple Music. I only left because someone showed me some amazing playlists and pretty soon Spotify started recommending great songs to me.

As a content producer, are you willing to join others creating something people demonstrate paying for directly [without advertising middlemen] or not? You have tunnel vision on the other end, looking for people to pay for what you are motivated to create [and begrudgingly accepting advertising middlemen finding someone]. As I said: success to you!

Edit: In case it's not clear, my recommendation is to gain experience on something smaller/easier. Take the skill that you can use (or learn another one), find others using that skill to make money directly, and copy them step-by-step until it works for you. "Fail fast" doesn't mean give up on your dreams; use the experience gained for the harder sell. Insisting the only choice is between meaningful content and soul selling is a false dichotomy.

Lifestyle-funding, paying audiences must be carefully built/grown. (Ideally, this means completely disintermediating all third parties; in practice this means keeping a diverse group of them at a healthy distance as a necessary evil -- especially for initial exposure, aka advertising.) The whole point of this discussion is that allowing anyone in-between the content creator and their audience inevitably breaks down the relationship as the middlemen prioritize what makes them the most money.

No, they don't.

I'll point out that the article mentions they "remove the dense tree canopy to create a 3D map". It does not say "they used ground penetrating Lidar".

Seems to me you underestimate what they know and overestimate what you know and that is exactly what I was saying they found irksome.

I doubt Brave will ever be widely adopted from both sides. You are kind of saying you want some perfect solution from your end and content creators can starve until you get that. And I really, really don't believe we will ever have the kind of solution you say you would support. It would require everyone to have the same browser. It would require everyone to pay into that system. It would require all content producers to have an account with that same central entity to get their share.

I think Basic Income is less far fetched and I have been quite vocal about how crazy I think that is.
TFA briefly mentions it but I can't imagine how "Voice UI" can be even decent without strong AI. In order to be more efficient than inputting commands with a keyboard or mouse you want an "assistant" that will be able to infer what you want from context. And of course you want to be reasonably certain that it'll get it right without having to double check everything all the time.

Also, make it available offline. I don't want $bigdata to know everything I do on my computer. Amazon Echo & friends are way too orwellian for my taste. I don't know if the general public will care about that however.

That looks like thin ice. Basically they're hoping to remain too small for EA to bother with.

IIRC, the usual workaround for asset licensing is to make an automated extractor for people who have the original game. This buys you time while you work on drop-in replacements.
OpenTTD did this, eventually. But for years it used the original assets. But it was your responsibility to get the game.

The most important part is the conversion of a vector quantity into a scalar. Energy packets, photons, always have a prescribed velocity or direction. When mass is created, this direction is lost. It shows us a fundamental anisotropy of our universe. Total momentum is conserved..but since 0 momentum is degenerate and has no direction, we get the mixing of isotropic emissions, that should in theory, cancel out any biases that may have once existed.

Our universe cares about conservation globally - but as scattering shows, at the quantum scale, our universe could care less about you switching a left and a right for an up and a down.
> I'd be happy to spend $5-10 dollars doing that - I'm already spending $60 a month just for Internet access in the first place. If enough people sign on to that, and enough creators can use that as a revenue model then it will provide a way to fund content without the need for advertising.

I think herein lies the crux of the problem - the solution of a pay-on-visit system requires further curation by a populous that probably just isn't willing or eager to do so. Imagine such a solution a year down the line when it's fully implemented, and now people are complaining about death by a thousand papercuts, as every article suddenly begins to optimize for pay per view. We already have complaints about slideshows that load up fresh ads on 14 pages, 2 of which are actual ads instead of content; imagine how frustrating it would be to put a real dollar value on every day browsing of content. It will just encourage centralization more, imo, as agglomerating sites can take the hit and present content for free while individual content creators will struggle even more.

Everyone hates advertising, but there are ways of doing it appropriately. The ethical considerations on advertising aside, the system itself provides a useful exchange for content creators and their audience. The problem lies in the third party here, the advertisers, and how much free reign they've been given over what an ad can do once it's loaded. The resale value of private information is probably worth more than the return on investment for the ad itself in the long run, and that's a major problem, because the audience loses out on privacy (and often security) as a result, and the content creator never sees the benefit of the resale value. The imbalance of power is too great here, and current regulatory attempts (Cookie banners) have no teeth and are ineffectual.

I really don't think the answer for most people is an extra $10-$20 a month on micropayments. I think the natural conclusion of such a system is further entrenching Facebook/Google and other such social media giants.

I think instead wrangling advertising into a system which more fairly compensates the content creator and respects user privacy is the right way to go, but at this point that's not happening without heavy intervention/regulation with some teeth to make it really hurt.

Edit: Corrected "balance of power" to "imbalance of power"
It's a bit strange to call an app "Abandoned" because the last update was 6 months ago. When an app is mature and stable, it doesn't require a steady flow of updates to be good and useful (except as a way for developers to show that they are still active and "please" their users).

I'd call it abandoned if it didn't fit the platform standards, if it was buggy, if it didn't run on some new devices…
I've used this for years but moving away to use Plex as Google never seems to have figured out reliable caching.

Syncing to device offline is fine but Google music often seems to crap out streaming between songs on Android and iOS and I'm stuck skipping tracks or having to restart playing.

Never had issues with Spotify, plex, tidal, or Pandora in this regard.
I think the answer is simpler than that; minivans aren't sexy. Tesla is focused on gobbling up potential BMW and Audi buyers who have the budget for a fully loaded X5 or Q7 and aren't willing to give up the sex appeal (at least until kids 2-3 come along).

A Ford Transit van is a pretty big leap for someone who wants a vehicle to cart around kids, pets and their associated gear.

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica offers a drag coefficient of 0.30 vs. 0.24 for the Model X. Given Tesla's aggressive reduction in drag and frontal area on the Model X (with respect to other SUVs) I expect they could get away with a much more modest bump in battery capacity if minivans became the next hot ticket.
I thought half of the problem was the locked down platform and not the technology itself.

This article has some relevant points but it exaggerates the effectiveness of online adverting. Generic display ads have a CTR of 0.05%. With good targeting it's bumped up to 0.1-0.2%. Newsfeed is somewhat stronger in the 0.5-2% range.

There are issues with online advertising that need to be addressed but let's not pretend it's some sort of supremely effective form of manipulation.
