At my old company the key to advancing was: suck at you job, make big failing projects addressing the wrong issues and lead to bigger longer projects addressing the same issue until you get an entire department assigned to you adressig that issue. Also piss off the people in other departments work against the best intention of the company get in fights with department heads and experts and steal the work and ideas of others.

Not surprisingly a lot of talent fled that company, me included.

Turns out for Cassandra to work properly you need double the storage space that you max want available, otherwise it can't vacuum properly. So if you want to be able to store 1 TB, you need 2 TB, and if you go over 1 TB, it's not guaranteed to be able to vacuum at all.

Also, Apache Cassandra and DataStax Cassandra did a hard split recently, so the docs are no longer in sync, making it a lot harder to search for stuff if you're using Apache Cassandra.

Also, patch versions of Cassandra are not guaranteed to be binary compatible (sstables), [so upgrading from 3.0.5 to 3.0.9](https://gist.github.com/shyamsalimkumar/49a61e5bc6f403d20c55...)? Expect a long migration.

>In my opinion, an economy is too important to leave to governments to run and tune.

But isn't that decision itself a governing decision, just one where we decide to tune for competition (for example)? It seems to me you can't avoid governance, as soon as there is power, there is either governance by the strong (robber barons) or by a system which tries to balance and - as you called it - tune things (e.g., an elected government enforcing anti-monopoly laws to improve competition)

Not sure why you were downvoted, because I think you have a very good point. I often see us, as web developers, being blind to obvious, simple, local solutions. Perhaps this is because in many areas going from native to web is a win. Or, because too many web developers are exposed to business models around developing web applications mostly as a vehicle to fetch user data. (Fortunately, this is not true for intranet web applications which is a niche where I'm quite happy to work in.)

> with a misplaced silver spoon that he could not stoop to sit on a subway for thirty minutes and talk with poor people for ninety minutes."

I'm not an Ivy League alumni by any means (I'm a last-year CS drop-out from an Eastern-European country), but I got to see a Herbalife presentation in person 10 years ago and realized it was a scam 10 minutes into said presentation. As a matter of fact, I had a intense verbal fight with my ex-wife and my ex-MIL immediately after the presentation, as I was trying to explain to them that the money they had just spent on those Herbalife products was money thrown out of the window and that there were other ways to lose weight. I was right, those Herbalife products stood on top of one of our drawers for half a year, touched only once or twice, after which we threw them away. The gist was that we should have brought more of our acquaintances and friends into the scheme, but my ex-wife was a smart enough woman to realize that that was a no-go.

Long story short: companies like Herbalife deserve to die. They feed on people's insecurities, more than that, those people which Herbalife feeds on are not very well-off, quite the contrary (the money we spent on their products that one time was money taken from other necessity purchases). They're a despicable company, I'm genuinely let-down that Ackman failed.
This is really a thing in the USA and other 2nd-world countries. In most European countries this is very different.

Has this payout structure been conclusively documented? I mean specifically the part about obscure artists getting absolutely nothing.

I know a couple of relatively obscure bands personally, and they do get something from Spotify. It's not much, but they do get a little bit. They consider streaming more as advertising that gets their name out there and their music easily accessible, but they make most of the actual money from shows and merch.

E: Artists can see their playcount stats and payouts here: https://artists.spotify.com and as far as I know, even niche artists are paid the $0.006 per song, not just the biggest players.

E2: I am a huge fan of the Bandcamp model, though. Most of the time I find music there that isn't on Spotify, and I've also bought albums on there even though they're on Spotify as well, because I want to support the artists directly. I have completely stopped buying physical albums.

Congrats, this looks really great! Do you plan turning this into a product/service or is it a side project? I think there's a real market for secure alternatives to popular cloud services so I hope this will be successful. Personally, I moved most of my data and services (G-Mail, Dropbox, AWS) away from the US to European alternatives, which fortunately stepped up their game in the last years (IMHO) and are often quite usable. I haven't found a good alternative to G-Docs for collaborative editing though, so pretty excited about something like this. I think a traditional encrypted backend data store would be more adequate for most users though.
And? People realize they are in prison by the sheer lack of freedom of self. Does that somehow mean that we need to punish them for years and years after their sentence? Do we need to give folks psychological disorders or make them suffer physically as well?

Who would you rather have as your neighbor: A person in a human prison that has had the help they need, including a push towards becoming a good neighbor - or someone that has been mistreated, tortured, and/or made to be a slave (prison labor) for what could be years, and then punished so severely when they get out that they have trouble meeting their parole duties without resorting to illegal activities?

I don't know about you, but I'd rather live next to the first. Most prisoners are future neighbors. Most are someone's family member. Wouldn't it be prudent to do what we can to make the person an upstanding member of society?

1. Ad scraping business. We scrap ads and expose the bad guys.

Let me tell you there are many bad guys injecting bad just because the ad exchanges do not care. Most of them do it because "no one would know". So, we just scrap ads and put them on display.

2. We sell a subscription to our service where we charge $200-400 month for access to this data. Many malware researchers, ad agencies, regulators are subscribed to our data set.

3. It's a private business, high 5 figure revenue. Scraping cost per customer is $10
I think Discovery is good, but only at first, same with the Daily Mix / Radio / autoplay-after-finishing-album features, which for me seem to be a lot of "more of the same" or a lot of "generic blargh".

Blockstack already had one. https://icodrops.com/blockstack/
I would've guessed that bad pathfinding in these old games was caused by very aggressive optimizations to improve performance but then the author starts off by saying:

So the old code was just that bad? It's a bit odd, you'd expect such a critical piece of code in an RTS to be reasonably well written and optimized.

I agree this study is BS. They have no one in their data who has $5 million+ in the bank and has F* you money... because those people are supposedly outliers.

I would be an order of magnitude happier if I could work on my own projects instead of working for someone else. There's a reason people do side-hustles and punish themselves trying to get something going outside of their normal $100k salary... it's for the hope of having true financial freedom. The study is correct that $100k vs $150k doesn't make much difference at all... but if I had $1 million in a bank it would be a huge difference.

IIRC it's basically the equivalent of going from 192kbps to 320kbps.
Default is 160kbps Ogg Vorbis, high quality is 320kbps.

For the mobile app, it's 96, 160 and 320 for normal, high and extreme, respectively.

Chromecast and the browser-based player both use AAC, at a maximum of 256kbps.

"Necessity is the mother of invention". If you don't desperately need something, you don't need to put resources into developing it. Unfortunately, war has driven technological progress. And that also includes the space programme. If the cold war hadn't driven the space race, then I suspect space exploration would be a distant and poorly-funded priority.

Without a sufficiently good reason, governments won't put money directly into research (at least, in the eye-wateringly large quantities spent in wartime).

Be careful that it may be hard to match levels 100%, and it's hard to do a blind test with audio coming from two different applications.

There may also be mastering differences between different versions of an album.

I am familiar with Rojava (which in my opinion is not a good showcase if you want people to reevaluate anarchy, since it is still an active warzone with a common uniting foe, teters dangerously close towards cult of personality and has yet to prove that it would retain it's anarchic qualities after the survival struggle) and anarchic political theory. I'm mainly interested in understanding perspectives. So already thank you for sharing yours.

>Why have none of them lasted? It seems more to do with traditional hierarchical nation-states attacking and re-subverting them than any internal failing.

Different perspective(slightly provocative): people in a competing anarchic polity who had chosen to centralise more to be more efficient wiped out a competitor. It just looks like a nation state to you, because you frame it that way. Really it's people acting in what they perceive to be their best interest.

>But again, the problems of chaos and mob rule can be solved without traditional nation-states.

Sure, I mainly agree. But I think the next step is scaling the swiss model upwards, or making organizations like the EU more democratic. Anarchy is basically the equivalent "rewriting the whole codebase from scratch" in software: simpler in execution, but throws out the baby with the bathwater(and then not thinking through things properly and relying on "charity" and other notions).

>So yes, I say. Let's find ways to build economies without governments. Let's find ways to offload some of the centralized work of governments to decentralized technologies. Money, for example. Keeping official ledgers, for example. Let's think about how we can restructure society so that power is more diffuse, rather than being so concentrated. Governments already exist, and will continue to be a useful (if fraught) tool for governing many things, but maybe they don't need to micromanage all of it anymore.

Agreed. How do we deal with taxation? This is the elephant in the room: lots of people don't like taxes (even though they payed for starting almost everything good in this world, including the transistor and the internet), so how do we replace that system for funding common goods in our decentralized world?
