From what I understand (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the selection of ads that play on an individual YouTube video aren't actually affected at all by which video you're watching—only YouTube's understanding of you built up over all the videos you've watched so far.

Apple Music is a bit rough around the edges in ways that are shifting me back towards keeping my collection offline

- they deleted a bunch of my personal stuff when I subscribed (I’m sure it was somewhere in the T&Cs but ... come on)

- albums and songs appear, disappear and generally get shuffled around a LOT

- they periodically purge my “offline” music on my phone. Usually I only notice this when I have just crossed the border on an international trip. It’s not just some unused stuff because I have no space free (I have PLENTY) - it’s everything

It’s a really frustrating experience, which is Sady increasingly common with Apple these last few years

I wonder more and more where the massive battery production increase will get their cobalt from. Production in the coming 5 years will be multiplied, maybe even towards a different magnitude! As such, the cobalt and lithium demand will scale in the same fold. Lithium is relatively widespread (compared to cobalt), so while it gets harder to get lithium (and more expensive), it will not be impossible.

Cobalt however is quite a different story. What are the producers planning to do? Dig up half Congo?

That is probably a better approach for large files. My initial use case was an application that would write an encrypted file containing passwords to disk. The files are relatively small, so that method didn't seem worth the additional complexity of something like what you describe. I believe sqlite does something similar at least in some configurations.

I might add something like this in the future.
> 3. finally, run 'terraform apply' on production. I've yet to find an error that made it to this step that didn't get caught in one of the previous two steps.

Oh, I've seen a few...

1. Account limits that are different between accounts, e.g., number of ELB, ASGs, EIPs, etc. allowed.

2. Access that is different between accounts. The oddest one was a bug in Packer that caused an AMI to get built with an
"AWS Marketplace" version of Ubuntu. To use an AMI based off a Marketplace AMI you need to "buy" the Marketplace AMI per account (even though it is free). Someone had clicked the button in the staging account to "buy" the AMI, but then it fails to deploy to productions.

3. Random other failures. Like hitting naming length limits because "prod" is longer than "qa". Or like API rate limiting slowing down deploys in one account, causing them to timeout and the TF apply to fail, even thought plan passed and the apply worked in staging. This is can then land you in an odd state where re-running apply will destroy all of a resource, instead of updating it (taking down the whole service). Which then leads you to automate `terraform taint`...

TF just wasn't designed to do app deployments.
Let's not pretend you're not attempting to gaslight me. I _returned_ name calling, as my interlocutor decided the easiest way to dismiss my claim was to frame it as chicken little proclaiming that the sky is falling. Then I debated his points.

Lets break it down point for point:

- lopmotr framed my comments as a conspiracy theory. I retorted that there is obvious evidence all over reddit that supports my claims.

- lopmotr brought up examples of victimhood as the causes for decline of states, and drew a line to whats happening in America with blacks as equivalent. I retorted that conservatism has this same victim complex, and that its ironic that people can see in others much easier than they can see in themselves.

NYC's transit mode share for commute trips is above 50% [1]. Of the additional 1.2 million people, this means that this population growth probably produced at least 1.2 million additional daily rides, since 50% of the 1.2 million rides the subway twice a day, to and from work.

1.2 million additional daily riders is about double the entire Washington Metro daily ridership and triple that of BART's daily ridership! Indeed, 1.2 million daily riders is about equal to ridership on the Lex! So I disagree with your conclusion that "Population increase can't account for the difference". This sort of ridership growth would have destroyed any other comparable system in the US. If anything, it's amazing that the NYC subway hasn't fallen apart more than it already has.

We should do everything in our power to eliminate death. There is nothing meaningful about it. It is totally meaningless and tragic, and one day we'll look back on the days when millions died every year the same way we look back on the day when three fourths of children died before the age of five.

And this criticism of the rich embracing it first totally misses how technology develops. The rich are always the early adopters, and the high prices paid by them enable the industry to scale up which gradually brings the price down.

If you look at any technology over the last 50 years, you see this pattern at work: PCs, tablets, smart phones, etc.

The first generation was always expensive and only affordable for the rich.

The main issue is that the MTA and its predecessors have always been dependent on one person (now the Governor, formerly the Mayor). The actual board members have no credibility and no accountability, hence why we are here today.

The MTA would be much better off if the appointed representative of the county was replaced with the actual elected executive of said county (so county executives, borough presidents, mayor/council speaker/what have you, etc.)

Yep, that's the thing I was thinking of. Thanks!

Question, since you seem like you might know: is there an alternative regex library—or a plain Yacc parsing grammar that you could stick as a validator in front of PCRE's parser—that would allow through only the regexes which parse out to constant-time (determinized) DFAs?
With a slowing upgrade cycle for iPhone, I predict that the phone hardware, cell connection, Music & iCloud subscription will be sold as a bundle in the not too distant future. The hardware has started to go that way with iPhone Upgrade Program and Apple's push for e-sim.

I wonder if the author actually tested this.

There is no cache flushing in asm.js or wasm, so a key component of the example spectre.c, "mm_clflush()" is a no-op.

Even if the example were to compile, I don't see how it would work as is. It might be possible to attempt an alternative attack where you attempt stuff the cache and determined what got evicted, but that is a different attack and certainly not in the vein of "just recompile your c/c++ based exploits for the web".

God, how arrogant. It's one thing to be opinionated about music, it's another to judge another's enjoyment. Talk about making music something miserable to share with others.

Personally, the spotify client is a piece of shit for me--buggy, slow, and it can't sync any music not in its library. Somehow spotify's marketing manages to leave that out, and Apple Music is a much better option for me. Clearly you don't really love music if you're limited to Spotify's catalogue. ;)

One additional point that is worth making regarding this rotational inertia in the blades is that this is what makes auto-rotation possible. In an engine-out situation a helicopter has a lot of energy stored in these blades and by conserving this as much as possible while 'falling' the pilot can pull up on the cyclic when close to the ground to trade the energy for enough lift to survive the crash. A direct-drive drone propeller cannot auto-rotate, and if for some reason it has an in-flight emergency that interrupts electrical power to the VTOL rotors it will plummet like a brick. I am not sure about the glide characteristics of those wings, but with all of the drag from the non-operative drone rotors I am guessing it would be somewhere between 'awful' and 'lawn-dart'.

Evolution doesn’t work like that, it’s not a force with goals except reproductive fitness. In this case our society compensates for their issues, and their reproductive fitness is maintained. In the wild they would disproportionately starve and die, and that would also be a valid evolutionary response. It may also be thst gluten intolerance doesn’t particularly matter to rates of reproduction before it kills you, outside of civilization. If what kills you does so after you pass your genes along, evolution doesn’t even notice.

There might be some hidden benefit too, such as with sickle cell and malaria, or more commonly the defective genes are part and parcel of a critical system.

This reminds me of a quote by Ira Glass that's been the most inspiring advice I've read as a writer:

>“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

>Income inequality, with no other info, is not necessarily bad.

I hold a contradictory view. Inequalities in income and wealth means inequalities in power. Inequalities in power lead to unstable social systems. My view is that this holds true regardless of the baseline standard of living.

>11 billion just after 2100

Right, so current trends show a 30% growth in population between now and 2100. That doesn't contradict what I said.

EDIT: I'd like to specify all inequalities do not lead to unstable systems, but very large inequalities do.

Otherwise, fewer people would develop cancer than if the scientific study had not been published.
lack of playlist folders is the main thing that made me move back to spotify. I was using Google music for a year or two and made maybe 80 or so playlist before it got to much to handle. I had way more playlists on spotify and I would have moved them over to Google if there was a way of organising them

most of the new music i find these days is on discover weekly so I don't have as much of a need to upload tracks.
it is really odd that none of the other services have added that feature yet. talk about being behind! its been 7 years

another thing that bugged me about Google music is the albums and singles being mixed up and also the album view not showing the order by year. it seems to be just random.
