Thanks for checking it out!

An offline option is definitely something we will be implementing in the future, hope to see you back when we do.

Sorry, it crashed! We're working on a bug fix atm so hopefully it won't keep happening, has only happened to a couple of users so I'm not sure why... We don't have a scrub/seek option due to the fact that being interrupted in the middle of a session would effectively mean you are brought out of the state and would need to re-enter but we could consider adding it in cases of early interruptions etc.

We actually do have a one-month-free trial of the premium service, if you tap the subscribe button it will tell you about it. However, I definitely see how it can be confusing without tapping 'Subscribe', and we'll make it clearer in the new version.

Really appreciate your frank feedback, we're still-relatively-new developers and the app is quite fresh so ironing out these bugs/improvements is really important to us.

I find the Music app unbearable. It feels like a webview app, or ported from Android; definitely not optimized for the iPhone. It feels like it was designed by committee, like something that came from Microsoft or Nokia 10 years ago.

Sometimes I feel like there must be something wrong with how I think about music, because I like a lot of what Apple comes up with, but the Music app I cannot stand. Surely it cannot be that bad, and I should just adjust? Then I actually use the Music app for a bit, and I'm again convinced that I'm not crazy.

The app is confusing and hard to navigate, but somehow still manages to miss so many features I'd look for in a music app—I don't even want to start listing everything I don't like.

I, for one, will certainly not be getting an Apple Music subscription until they come up with a music app that actually makes sense. It is making me listen to less music. And I love music.

It's extremely difficult to account for those effects in a one-man-study, but the science has shown that it definitely causes distinct neural changes in the brain: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2016/07/study-identif...

indeed, they seem to have been fairly happy pushing some fairly dodgy looking schemes via youtube ads, now there is some heat on them to take responsibility over content it's easier to ban them all, any attempt to corner these giants into human moderated content is their worst case scenario, if they are held responsible as publishers for the content they provide, their margins are too small for them to survive.
There's no particular correlation between MERIT and success, never mind effort. My own work's increasingly based on the notion of, if you want merit/quality, come up with some way for it to survive outside of the success dynamic, then pursue that way.
I don't know about BabyMetal, but in Japan the concert ticket buying experience is often pretty different. In order to get tickets, you have to join the fan club. You are then eligible to enter a lottery for tickets. Often you can only buy a few tickets (not sure how many, but less than the number of fingers on your hand).

So this would actually help stop scalping quite a bit (or at least make it a lot more expensive). The potential scalper needs to organise a huge mass of people to buy tickets, many of whom will not get them. Then they need to organise meetings for the purchasers of the scalped tickets with the people bought the tickets. It's not impossible, but it's going to make it much more difficult.

I had a friend who used to go to many concerts and I wondered how she managed it. She met people at the concerts who were essentially crowd sourcing tickets. They would coordinate which concerts they wanted to go to and each of them would try to get tickets. Then they would meet at the concert and hand them all out. I think this is pretty common, so it under cuts the scalpers.
It specifically mentions RGBD (RGB+Depth).
It kind of reminds me of when George Hotz declared that he'd created a competitor to Tesla Autopilot by training an end-to-end neural network on dashcam footage and running it on an Android phone.

It would be one thing if they followed a strict rule such as "we will block ads that present unrealistic claims" and then applied that rule equally across all advertisers. But the concern is they are singleing out one particular technology. That will harm those cryptocurrency business which aren't making claims about certain percentage of returns, thereby making it hard for a potential new novel use of cryptocurrency from being heard.

Same issue, using a custom layout.
I really wish it was easier to find movies in other languages to help learning. I've been half-heartedly trying to learn French the past few years but it's deceptively hard to either find a decent streaming service, or to find torrents with French audio + subtitles.

Strangely it was quite easy when I had a stab at Swedish a few years ago; a number of their TV channels have a free streaming service that you can access from anywhere.

Regarding the Mindwise book, I recently read Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis where he talks about (at least what I interpreted) the silliness of good vs evil and differing beliefs. I haven't read his 2nd book but the title - " The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion", suggests it might be something similar to the Mindwise book.
"First they came for the crypto-currencies and I said nothing..."

Yes, google is a private company but so are bakers. Unless you subscribe to "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others".

By the way, there is no distinction here between public and private powers. The State needs these big corporations to extend itself and they in turn need the State to regulate competition out of the markets.

"Generally speaking, it's illegal to detain someone from leaving without probable cause of a crime.
(In contrast, Costco is empowered to do so via their membership agreement.)"

This is commonly thought but not quite right, either on facts, or on law.

First, people cite a membership agreement.

Let's take a look:

https://www.costco.com/wcsstore/CostcoUSBCCatalogAssetStore/...

https://www.costco.com/member-privileges-conditions.html

Nothing there.

Maybe it's elsewhere. Can't easily be found (not good for Costco!)

It does say they can adopt rules at any time.
But false imprisonment requires voluntary consent, which is knowing. So that would not help them.

Besides that, false imprisonment, in most states, is both a felony and a tort :)

The answer to the question "are you likely to be able to sue costco successfully for trying to check your receipt when you don't want them to" - no, unless you revoke consent and they don't revoke your membership and kick you off the property :)

The answer to the question "can they legally detain you" - also no if you revoke consent (and the first person to say something about the 4th amendment here loses, since we are talking about private actors).

Voluntary consent is definitely a valid defense to false imprisonment.
However the idea that consent in the membership agreement overrides anything that later happens is, at best, laughable.

Imagine the membership agreement says "you unconditionally consent to costco locking you up in the backroom until they get bored".

Do you think I don't have a false imprisonment claim, if, when they try to do so, i say "I do not consent to this", and they do it anyway?

How is that voluntary consent? Even if i did consent, i clearly and unequivocally revoked it. Maybe i breached a contract. Irrelevant, however. Remember, it's both a tort and a crime. Even if they have an argument about the tort (they don't really), they don't about the crime.

There is plenty of precedent on revocation of consent all the way up the Supreme Court (United States v. Drayton, etc).
Saying "no" to a receipt checker and walking away almost certainly counts as proper consent revocation.

Now Costco certainly has the right to revoke my membership and remove me from their property. But they can't certainly can't detain me though once i've revoked consent. It even may have a reasonable argument that the first time it tries to detain me, it was within the consent (depends on what happens in the above story).

The second i revoke my consent by saying no, sorry, it's clearly false imprisonment (in states that don't have a shopkeepers privilege).

Yes. I've had this issue on almost every version of windows so far. As usual with Windows the only way to fix these issues is by reinstalling the operating system. After decades Microsoft still doesn't have a working update solution.

Compare this with most linux distributions. The updates can run in the background, the update process is often significantly faster and finishes in a few minutes and finally I don't need to reboot unless the kernel is updated.

Sure, but keeping it compatible with your OS —when it receives updates— is on you. Backporting security patches from Python 3, 4, 5 etc are on you.

I'll grant you, if you're running an air-gapped machine with no keyboard, ports or basically any external IO, you probably needn't worry too much about security. But that would put you in 0.0000000001% of deployments.

Everybody else should treat unmaintained Python 2 interpreters as dangerous zombies that need putting out of their misery. They're potentially vulnerable to whoknowswhat and past 2020 CPython isn't getting any fixes.

kubeadm seems to configure the kubelet with `--authorization-mode=Webhook`, which prevents the use of the exec API by unauthenticated users:

$ curl -vk -X POST https://...:10250/exec/test
...
< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
...
Forbidden (user=system:anonymous, verb=create, resource=nodes, subresource=proxy)

OTOH some endpoints on the `--read-only-port=10255` API are completely open for unauthenticated requests... that leaks all the pod metadata/spec/status information:

$ curl http://...:10255/pods
{"kind":"PodList","apiVersion":"v1","metadata":{},"items":[{"metadata":{"name":"kube-proxy-knfqg","generateName":"kube-proxy-","namespace":"kube-system", ...}

Not what I expected, and the `--authorization-mode=AlwaysAllow` default seems like a very bad idea :/
Slight OT, I had two questions:

b. How many re-reads helps you get most out of the book?

So plants don’t have feelings and animals do? That’s what I used to believe, but then I read this article: http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/04/giant-viruses-found-a...

This got me thinking... How do we determine which organisms feel pain? Presence of a central nervous system? What about jellyfish or octopi or lobsters? Kingdom animalia? Why not bacteria or plants? They reproduce and have some sort of consciousness. Plants bend towards sunlight.

I used to consider myself Buddhist so I still don’t kill any living beings as a habit... not even mosquitos. But now that I think about it, I have no problems killing bacteria or viruses. I consume a lot of pea protein powder - mainly for aesthetic reasons - am I being unethical?

Wal-Mart gives gift cards instead of money if you don't have a receipt for a return. Toys R Us used to give Jeffery Dollars for returned toys.

The system at some stores make it hard to return stuff, while others make it easier. If the customer is happy they will return later to buy more stuff if not happy the go somewhere else like a competitor.
Alan Kay on data and context (2013)
This is an incredibly important point that often gets overlooked.

Not only are many businesses actually selling a dollar for 90 cents and therefore think they have product-market fit, but even if you aren't one of these, your competitors might be behaving this way.

For example, when doing freelance/consulting work, you can try to match the rates of cheap freelancers, but that's usually not smart- they might be doing the equivalent of selling a dollar for 90 cents.

Always worth remembering that 90% of new businesses die within a year (or something like that). That means there's always a significant amount of competition that is doing things that don't make business sense.

> Only if you are not appropriately paid or otherwise reimbursed for that work.

Yup. If you are on call and are expected to be available to work without much predictability or notice then that "option" on your time should be compensated, regardless of whether you are called in to work, in addition to pay for the time when you are actually called in. If being on call is a standard part of the role then maybe this is priced into the base rate / salary.

If you have a job where you have fewer blocks of time outside of work where you can do whatever you like (eg going camping for days without phone contact) then all things being equal that job should compensate you more for placing more constraints on your time than some other job where you aren't on call.

I do believe that China's unmanned lander is real. I don't believe that the US manned landings were real.

Here is more elaboration than I had planned:

I came to the conclusion that the landings were faked by my own reasoning. I grew up believing they were real, and only changed my mind in my 20s, after learning more about cosmic rays.

Cosmic Rays weren't even on the radar for the Apollo missions; US states had only just begun banning shoe-fitting fluoroscopes in the 60s.

That was the first inkling I had that something was suspect. Later I learned about Stanley Kubrick's alleged involvement in the documentary film, "Room 237".

Every other recorded major scientific advance has been followed by more observed results in the same area. Yet the official story is that astronauts drove around in moon buggies and played golf on the moon in the 1970s. We just haven't been back because ... there's no reason to go back? Is it not funny that there was a huge reason to get to the moon in the 60s and 70s, but once we got there that reason just vanished?

No, the official story is to me simply not plausible, whereas the alternative makes a ton of sense. The US had every intention of going, but the task itself was simply too difficult. Thankfully, existing trick camera technology, as evidenced in science fiction movies of the time, made the hoax appear entirely believable (to a gullible public).

The last straw for me was around 2010, when I read one of Buzz Aldrin's accounts of the moon landing in "The Week"[0], and I thought, "wait a minute, I've heard that story before", and sure enough, went and found approximately the exact same story of the "last-minute, running out of fuel, manual take-over moon landing" in a novel by Heinlein called "Rocket Ship Galileo"[1]. I would encourage anyone interested to compare the landing story told by Aldrin with the landing story told by Heinlein and judge for themselves whether or not the official story is what actually happened in reality[2], and not just a really great (and wonderfully written, I might add) piece of sci-fi.
