Do you think with the first TSO's starting to come out, will we ever see attempts to remove the flaws of a TSO (accredited investors) vs crowd funding positive, at-least at some sort of happy medium, were more people can have access to vc level returns but also can understand the risk? should there be a licence process for the average person to become an accredited early stage investor.

also how do you feel about the path to TSO if you wish not to ICO,
build your MVP blockchain project, grow your project attempt to become profitable/ acquire further investors then go for the TSO ?

thanks for the great article though !

I switched to Terraform + CloudFlare for managing my DNS entries and I absolutely love it. No more messing around with web pages, change a line in a file and you're done. Fantastic.

Warning: I have made services inaccessible by deploying before making sure the git repo I was working from was the latest version. That's the downside of stateless deployments!
My biggest complaint is that albums I have added will occasionally be split, with one or two songs becoming the versions from a “best of” album, leaving two separate albums in my library. This randomly happens to 2-3 albums a month, and my only notification that anything changed is that some random album, often a compilation, shows up in my collection, or I am listening to the album and the songs do not a show up and are skipped.

It is absolutely infuriating that it fails at even keeping track of the songs you have added to your library. That should be one of the most basic features possible.
Why would people 200 years into the future believe your assertion?

Yes, this should have the fixed fix.
>Apple Music seems to ignore what I dislike, and will recommend it anyway

Before I moved to Apple Music, Spotify had spent the past several years trying to get me to listen to Fleet Foxes, no matter how many times I asked them to stop.

Apple's got a lot of UI issues, which shouldn't actually be that hard for them to fix. Their playlists however are definitely not as good as Spotify's are.
IPS is the easiest and biggest single improvement for the X220. Coreboot's the next single biggest improvement, although it's not easy.
CIA's demand.
This is just Intel trying to muddy the AMD waters
I haven't used Apple music, but I feel Spotify also falls down in the UI. There seem to be plenty of pitfalls where the best of both worlds could be provided, yet aren't.

Basics like, why only show the top 5 popular songs from an artist? with no option to "view all songs based on popularity"

If I can't recall a song name from an artist, I then need to start going through individual albums to find it... Or if I've over played the top 5 songs, and just quickly want to throw something from say, the top 20. No dice.

Alternatively, if I go into "my library" and select an artist, I now see ONLY those songs I've saved. With no option to view the rest of what they have to offer. Likewise for an album (only songs I've saved on that album).

And WHY can't I scroll backwards through the songs I've most recently played WITHOUT changing the current song? Seriously? Has a spotify staff member never been in a situation where their friend has asked, "hey what was that song two songs ago?"

These seems like pretty basic UI navigation options that should be easy to access.
Well with an H1B you have to show you couldn't hire an American at the prevailing wage. So it gets murky.

"Where exactly would handle, say, just the email?"

Don't take personal offense, the idea that you need some corporation to handle your E-mail is an ignorance, one that's reinforced by those very corporations' marketing departments.

I've been operating my own E-mail servers for two different domains for pennies per day for years now. It's cheap, it's (relatively) easy, and it's _better_ when you control it yourself. If Gmail were to fail, it would be one of the best things to happen to the world economy.
yeah, calling it 'gain' is confusing since that keyword is mainly used for amplifiers.
>The network has lost 113 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy since mid-January.

Does that refer to lost power due to power factor changes or trasformers losses or something?

>That energy will be pumped back into the grid in a process that could take a few weeks.

What the heck does that mean though?
I don't if Amazon/Google would ever do this or even need to, but my last place used to open reqs and do interviews based on "pipeline" openings which means jobs we might need to staff quickly if new work comes in, but we're not going to call you back if it doesn't.
Any insight on why Facebook hiring is surging? (13% of workforce). Is it mostly on the AR/VR side?

It's the one thing I really miss about Spotify. When I got into work on Monday, I'd just fire up the weekly playlist, and it would always have enough new content I liked to keep my playlists fresh for the week.
The ridership was higher in 1948 and there was no crisis of sardine packed trains and crowded platforms then. MTA is intentionally running the system below capacity to cut costs.

Yeah, but they aren't Hollywood produced films, they're low-budget, low barrier to produce conspiracy videos. If Hollywood starts making videos about how chemtrails are turning your kids gay, then that will be a valid comparison. But the reason Hollywood gets to talk about artistic integrity is because they actually have some.

Your last sentence shows why no questions policies exist. It’s easy to say people show pick the right thing first but in real life most products have details which are hard to learn in advance and it’s often hard to find all of the details in advance (e.g. maybe you bought an appliance which does what you want, fits the space, but the geometry for the power/water/vent/etc. is wrong for your house. Whose fault is that?).

If you try to require justifications, all you’re doing is paying people to interrogate customers - increasing the odds that they become former customers - and the people you’d most want to stop are also the most likely to have come up with a good excuse.
Still it's behind Audible ;).
You could bolt a Kindle Fire HD to your wall and install nothing but a timer app and save money.
They make claims that are demonstrably...stupid. I don't know if there's a better, more nuanced word to use here. It's trolling in broad daylight from what I can tell.

Watch the video and see for yourself: http://citronresearch.com/citron-exposes-the-dark-side-of-sh...

That video by itself tanked the stock for many many weeks, until they finally reported quarterly results and it started climbing again.

I'm glad the CEO didn't feed the trolls by acknowledging this report in any depth.

Also shows how irrational the stock market is in the short term.
"Really? So you and some other people"

Are you unwilling to participate?

"will somehow contact the millions of new users that come online each year and persuade them to"

That's literally how the internet exploded, why can't the same process work for improving people's ability to use it to serve their best interests. The process is helped along by certain public organizations like the EFF or celebrities like R. Stallman encouraging people to move away from corporate controls.

The greatest feature of the internet is decentralization. Facebook and Google aren't going to change that, even tho every corporation would like to. As long as we don't fall asleep at the wheel as users.
I was originally commenting on your statement from spotify's POV

> as they scale up they'll have more leverage with the rights holders

My comment was making the point that simply scaling Spotify does not solve their publisher/supplier costs because the publisher scales with Spotify.

Your response basically switched to the publisher's POV in talking about how publishers are incentivized to commoditize spotify's position in the market. (which is true, but not relevant here.)

I was just casually trying to imagine a scenario from Spotify's POV regarding how would they might gain leverage against publishers. IMO anything that involves labels seems like a fail.

Spotify's only path to success might be to offer some direct to consumer mechanism that eliminates the need of a label, even their own.
I agree with you on the dropcam issue. They should've done two TCP streams. My guess is it's a hardware limitation or something. Also their big thing is to sell cloud DVR.
This has all the signs of a bonafide smear job, Intel has a huge presence in Israel, lot's of investments there.

Do you plan to raise outside capital in the near future, or bootstrap?

With a seed round: low-volume but time-intensive recruiting (and of course coding). Although you might only hire 2 or 3 people in the first year, they'll - hopefully - be your biggest contribution.

The difference in output between a good 3-person team with decent leadership, and a fantastic 3-person team with outstanding leadership, is probably bigger than your own contribution as an individual developer. If so, the quality of the people you recruit, and how well you lead that team to quickly and thoroughly test the seed round hypothesis, will probably be your biggest contributions. Of course, you're still coding too.

OR…

As long as you're bootstrapping: CTO is developer, dev ops engineer, architect, most or all of product manager, and part or all of customer support and sales engineer. That continues until you have enough revenue to consider hiring someone at least part-time, which could be months or years. Think of yourself as a very committed individual contributor, or a product manager who has 1 developer.

As a 1-person engineering team, the biggest contribution you can probably make is deciding which problems not to solve, and which large swaths of the remaining problems not to solve. Make sure you're working on something people want. What half of any scope can you cut? Is feature X really as valuable as you or others think? Can you verify that with a day of work?

Finally, in both worlds: figure how who is handling product management. Who choose the functionality? Prioritizes it? Sketches the UI wireframes? Writes the UI copy? If you all are involved, is the CEO ultimately responsible for product/market fit, and if so, do they break disagreements?
Good point, I'll update the article to reflect that Kalman is not the only approach to solve SLAM.

The spokes-droids will clearly just continue to spout meaningless nonsense like this: "MSG continues to test and explore the use of new technologies to ensure we’re employing the most effective security procedures to provide a safe and wonderful experience for our guests." Can you offer any insight into what exactly is meant by "person is considered a problem" and "sometimes used for marketing and promotions." Does that mean "sold to law enforcement and ad targeting companies," or is it a bit less bad?
It's referred to as Extended Update Support (EUS). Of course nobody is expecting any enhancements beyond 2019 but for long-lived critical infrastructure projects (eg. mine) any critical security fixes will be required - for my project in particular at least until 2022.

Seriously, if some fly-by-night security outfit has managed to discover this, they're probably not the only ones.

They didn't blow full technical details on this exploit after 24 hours, they went public with a summary... one that's so high-level that many people are even doubting they exist. That's not exactly dumping a zero-day on the internet either.

There's a whole lot of shooting-the-messenger going on with this topic. Making plays against the stock is scummy and possibly illegal, but that doesn't make the exploits here any less real (assuming they are). These are actually quite serious breaks, potentially VMs can jump the sandbox straight into SMM mode and PSP, so it actually is much more severe than just "root password lets you do root things".

There is a long and storied history of showing the disadvantages of your competitor's products. Edison went on a campaign against Westinghouse's AC electricity, culminating in him electrocuting an elephant to death to demonstrate how dangerous it is.

Right now we need more spotlights on computer security than ever, and as long as it gets bugs patched (hardware, software, or firmware) I don't really care who's doing it or what their short-run motivations are. If AMD won't secure their code appropriately and Intel wants to call them out, fine. If Intel is leaking timings through sidechannels and AMD wants to call them out on it, fine.

And if we want to throw stones here, it was AMD who blew the embargo on Meltdown a week early because they wanted to force a response from Intel at CES... different in degree, not really in kind.
Sorry you aren't satisfied. There's plenty of information out there about somatopsychic side effects and we know drugs alter mental states all the time. That's so well established, I find it laughable that anyone would even question it.

Although some lines are automated in London, they still have a driver to push the button.

The DLR is fully automated, but has a member of staff on board, and the 4 times I used it this year the staff member was always in manual control.

If rail doesn't get automated before cars, I don't see branch lines surviving. But then I don't see them surviving automated cars either. Main lines, sure, but I'll be getting an auto-taxi to the mainline station rather than the hourly connecting train.

They missed the boat on being first with NN synthesis by about fifteen years.

http://www.vintagesynth.com/misc/neuron.php

(IMO it's depressing that Google don't appear to know this.)

Musically the sound is a lot less interesting than the engineering is. In fact it's a perfect demonstration of why you can't just throw NNs at a problem and expect to get something useful out.

Musical sounds - even synthesised musical sounds - tend to cluster around certain perceptual parameter sets. If you don't know what those parameter sets are - and they're not just frequency distributions, or envelope shapes, or waveform sequences - your model will tend to generate sounds that are perceived as musically trivial and/or uninteresting.

By a strange coincidence, this was the problem with the Hartmann Neuron. There was some very clever technology inside the box, but the sounds had none of the quality that made it a must-have for musical production. It shipped a few hundred units and then disappeared.

That quality is a very elusive thing. Some synth companies, like Roland, have been very good at capturing it. But if you ask their designers what they're aiming for, it's unlikely they'll be able to tell you. Even more strangely, that quality sometimes appeared in products apparently by accident, when they were abused to make sounds that were an accidental twist on their original design.

...Which would be a convincing argument for cultural preference if it weren't for the fact that many of the classic products that were abused in this way were made by Roland.

All we know is that musicians respond to that quality when they hear it. Unfortunately for engineers, sounds that have that quality can have very little in common with each other. So there's unlikely to be a statistical process that can engineer "good" sounds with a high hit rate.
They can't really win.

If you try to squash conspiracy theories like this there will be those free-speech hardliners who see it as crossing a line.

If you allow the crazy conspiracy stuff then there will be people who complain about the platform being a toxic influence and promoting hate speech etc.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with attaching additional information like this as opposed to outright censorship or something. But my guess is that plenty of other people will complain.

Side note: I can't help but notice how polarizing issues involving free speech have become in recent years. Any topics involving perceived censorship by any host simply ignite.
One of the main things preventing me from doing a really cool integration would be an API to programmatically create some REPLs and fill them with code.

Google does have a strong mentoring culture that gets appropriately rewarded in perf cycle. It worked out well for them. People would generally jump to a different team within Google and thus the long term investment isn't really lost.

I think you are right, I had a weird feeling about my comment while writing it and I felt I was missing something. I don't think I'm wrong however. Perhaps it is that readers of hackernews are more in touch with certain things than the general public. I read HN specifically to avoid the noise and nonsense of the sources you named, for example.

That doesn't mean I only want to read tech news or things of "intellectual curiosity", it just means that the news sources the two organizations you named draw upon are in the business of publishing garbage. The up/down moderation and flagging of a real aggregate site like HN makes a huge difference in quality of content, when it's used properly. Reddit users abuse it to vote their feelings which defeats the benefits.
It's unfortunate, but I have seen the other side of the coin. Waiting in line behind people in the return line that have obviously bought stuff at yard sales or similar, and trying to return it for cash. No idea why they don't weight "proof of purchase" higher in their algorithm though.

I suffered this for... A month? I honestly can't remember. That whole time is unfortunately a blur. What triggered it for me was intense anxiety - I've read theories that DP/DR is your brains way of coping with extremely traumatic experiences, and retreats into itself. Fortunately for me, nothing of that sort happened to trigger my anxiety :) I've essentially fixed the anxiety with a lot of walking and meditation. I wouldn't wish the hell on my worst enemy. It can make depression seem desirable.

From Reddit:

"DPDR is just your brain's ways to help you survive a situation you're unable to escape/fight. It tries to make you unaware of what's going on so you can endure it until it's over. It isn't supposed to be permanent. DPDR itself isn't anything to fear."[0]

I think about what he says on taste quite a bit. Similarly, artists will create a piece of art, for example, and look back as it as being rubbish. If I'm someone who sees that piece of art and I really like it, perhaps that just means that my taste is at a similar place to that artists at the point that they made the piece.

Some artists will often think their previous works are subpar, the same goes for writing and so on, but it's worth considering that those admiring it have tastes both more and less developed than your own so you can't possibly say "no one would think this is good". I'm not sure if that made as much as sense as it does in my head.

I guess the programming analogy is wanting to delete old blog posts about basic starter issues. They seem obvious in hindsight but, presuming they're timeless issues, someone else may find it useful.
Didn't we specifically tell that other user this was a bannable offense on HN? I vaguely remember this.
