Also I can listen to the same album over and over for hours on end, but once I've watched a TV series or movie I am unlikely to revisit it again for a decade. So exclusive TV/movie content has a "novelty appeal" that music doesn't.
Try Peerio.
All this does is get you into a philosophical debate of what constitutes "you". We don't know the answer to that. There's a similar conundrum around the idea of teleportation: if it were to work by recording the quantum state of every particle in your body, transmitting that information elsewhere, and then simultaneously creating a new copy of "you" at the destination while destroying the original, is the new copy actually "you"? No one really knows. And no one really knows if the answer to that actually matters in any real sense.

I'm glad this exists, and I'm sure it's very useful for organisations large enough to put engineering effort into adopting it, but it seems to me that the real win from Rust is going to look more like its use in Firefox: incremental replacement of code in an already-widely-used project, rather than an attempt at a full reimplementation.

Of course, nothing's stopping MesaLink becoming that replacement in a larger user of OpenSSL. But I doubt I personally will benefit from it any time soon.
It doesn't look like a memory issue--more of a latency issue with third-party APIs (some of them can take quite awhile to send back a response). But either way, I will look into upgrading the dyno and/or database to see if that helps. I think implementing websockets and rendering results as they come in would be my best bet, but it would add additional complexity, and I'm not a big fan of that at this stage.
I tried Google Play Music for a time, kept having trouble where songs would stop playing in the middle. Sometimes it would stop playing one song and skip to another track, other times it would just stop playing entirely. I don't want to hunt down the app and try to massage it into playing the song I want, it just needs to work, which Spotify gives me.
The implication is that the preservation is there so that you can be resuscitated.

Can you extrapolate on this?
I just moved from Sweden. I used cash frequently, but not in large quantities. Cashlessness is helpful in some cases, but a burden in others.

It is true you can get by without cash in Sweden but you cannot get by without a card, reasonably. But many of the corner markets have minimum payments by card, and so often having smallish money in cash is a very good thing. Additionally the farmer markets in the town squares are still mostly cash-based.

So I never found cashlessness to work entirely while I was there, whether I was in Malmo, Helsingborg, or Landskrona. Maybe in Stockholm it is different, and maybe it is different if you rarely buy at the farmer markets....

Germany, where I now live is the opposite. You can get by without a card, but you cannot get by without cash....

EnergyHub (http://www.energyhub.com) | Brooklyn, NY | ONSITE | Full Stack Software Engineer

We combine the powers of many thousands of homes to create virtual power plants, reducing demand at times of peak grid usage.

Consumers get paid. Pollution gets reduced. And with our platform, utility companies are getting all of it done more easily than ever before:

- energy use forecasting/modeling/optimization

- interaction with manufacturer APIs across the internet of things

- tracking/optimizing customer enrollment in these incentive programs

As a full stack engineer, you'll help expand all of those features, while maintaining the reliability and performance guarantees required at grid scale. And you'll be doing it with a tight-knit team of like-minded folks, where everyone is expected to make an impact.

With Asus's "Aura" application that comes with their new boards you can have the LEDs change color with CPU temp.

The lights are addressable so your CPU idea might be doable I haven't really played with it yet.
I'm so glad that you have solved one of the major problems of philosophy and neuroscience in a handful of poorly-constructed sentences.

This is a matter of much debate in philosophy, neuroscience, and other fields. You accidentally touch on identity theory (bundle, substratum, etc), philosophy of mind, etc. The Ship of Theseus is an interesting problem - what if I gradually replace parts of someone's brain with artificial ones, so they are integrated with the rest?
These are taking advantage of poor overall security in the cell phone network infrastructure; if phones cryptographically authenticated their base stations, it would be difficult or impossible. It's not entirely clear why more effort hasn't been put into securing this, but a likely hypothesis is that certain law enforcement agencies want it to be insecure, so that they can use it for domestic investigations. Now that the US finds itself on unfriendly terms with foreign spy agencies, this has become a serious problem.

I think we know a lot more about what to feed animals. There are several reasons for that: It is not considered unethical to do large scale experimental studies on animals. Most domestic animals have much shorter lifespan than humans, so it is possible to study the effect of different diets through a full life cycle. Finally, there are strong economic incentives to produce the meat with desired qualities, the most amount of milk or the highest quality of fur with the most cost effective diet possible.

For example pig farmers have known forever that if you want to have fat pigs you feed them grains, and if you desire lean meat you feed them high protein fodder.
After reading the FAQs and other material on Alcor's website, it's very clear to me that they're entirely frank about having no real idea when or even if resuscitation will be possible.

At least as it concerns the EPA, this is wholly a problem in the US. In Europe, new chemicals need to be proven they are safe before they can be used. In the US, new chemicals need to be proven they are bad before they are removed. It's totally backwards and in my opinion, is the direct cause for all of this bullshit.

As far as I can tell the harmful effects of alcohol are both grossly underestimated and severely overestimated. It’s the strangest contradiction.

I think as an addictive and potentially life destroying substance that promotes bad behavior our culture has a blind spot, or a kind of denial.

However the research suggesting that alcohol also decreases all cause mortality relative to abstinence, even when consumed heavily, seems pretty strong and not influenced by the factors referred to in this article. The link between alcohol intake and lower obesity also defies intuition.

The research is also hampered by the premise that it’s unethical to do a intervention study that has heavy alcohol use as one of the groups.

The whole thing seems like a misuse of research, to me. The effects of alcohol, both positive and negative, are mostly apparent to anyone who looks around.

That's because as a tourist, especially an international tourist, you're not hooked up into the local network that people use.

I'm reminded of the last night I spent on a trip to Budapest. First I went to a food truck and they would only take cash, and I was out of forints. Then I went to a bar and they would only let me pay with some app that apparently everyone in Hungary has, but I didn't, and I also didn't have a local data plan so I couldn't get it. I said to my wife that I just wanted to pay with present money (credit card), as opposed to past money (cash) or future money (app).

Starting their own label is not going to make the labels that they depend on very happy, and as such would be a very bad idea until it's impossible for the labels to survive without Spotify.

Spotify definitely doesn't have enough market share for that to be true, and it's not clear that they ever will. Youtube has always had more free listeners than Spotify and Apple Music is set to surpass Spotify in number of paid listeners sometime this summer.
I suspect you posted this because you read this and see a scandal, but all I see is someone wanting their preferred candidate to win.
Well, true, that's somewhat better. But it's the principle of a privately-owned monopoly or oligopoly skimming profits off of a nation's economy that bothers me, not the absolute amount.

As the other response to my comment said, cash itself has an overhead cost, too. But that cost is paid to our government at break-even cost, instead of to a private company for profit.

If Visa and Mastercard had plenty of competition, it wouldn't be so bad. Swish is nice to have, despite its problems. Maybe we'll get there.
I interpret "society needs to care more" as a challenge: what can we do to make society care more? Put another way, I view this as a collective action problem.
A good cashier can process cash sometimes quicker than even the fastest card readers I've seen, and not all card readers are nearly that fast. A lot of them are slow, painfully so. If you have to sign, that's also slow, another step in the transaction.

What it works out to be is that sometimes it's better to use card and sometimes it is better to use cash if speed is a factor. Someone that takes too long because they are fumbling for cash are just as likely to be the type of person that would have to fumble around for their card or have other issues operating the terminal.

Cash is quick and painless with only the most minimal amount of mental arithmetic necessary to give someone their change, not that your typical register won't spit it back out at you anyway.

If it is a sit down restaurant with table service though, there's no real positives or negatives to using either besides whatever is most convenient for you.

So all in all, all I see in any push to go cashless is the illusion of progress. It's all theater and it is strictly speaking, completely unnecessary to go cashless with considerable downsides if society is forced to.
That tutorial is much more expensive than many others, is it that much better?

Furthermore, a good cashier will already pick 1,55€ while the customer is paying and put it back is the customer is paying with a more fitting amount.
> they hover at only about 5% of net income. So Disney doesn't need to be anywhere near the subscriber amount to reinvest heavily in content and acquisition

That's not quite the context. Netflix is rapidly growing sales and plowing its potential income into content expansion.

Disney has zero sales growth, with a large traditional investor base that expects profits to at a minimum not contract. That traditional investor base holds Disney to a particular standard that Netflix doesn't have to suffer (for now). Disney can't reinvest any more of their existing sales & profit toward content creation without subtracting from the profit figure they report. If they do that at any meaningful scale, the stock will crater.

Disney's situation is actually even worse than that, as the erosion of cable is eating into their solidly profitable TV business (especially ESPN). So they're facing a declining context on sales, profit and margin, and they can't afford to redirect a meaningful share of their existing profit.

Simply put, right now Disney has no sales growth to direct at new content investment. They have existing profit that is already allocated to placating investors that expect the net income statement to look great and expect the dividend to remain or increase. This is why Disney is looking to spend a vast sum to buy business expansion with Fox, to perhaps placate shareholders a while longer (how long will they tolerate zero growth otherwise?).

Netflix gets to operate on different terms of shareholder expectations than what Disney does.

Otherwise, Netflix would have a market cap about 90%-95% lower than it is right now, if Netflix (~220 PE) were being judged on a more near-term profit basis as Disney is (~14-15 PE). It's the exact same growth expectation benefit that is being given to Amazon ($3b net income) vs Walmart (~$14b net income).
Sure, but the metaphor is about pretty vs. shitty UI, not pretty vs ugly (all usability criteria equal).

I think we might be seeing a shift in how people consume music that Spotify is (better?) positioned to take advantage of.

First and foremost, I agree that Spotify will struggle if they try to compete with other services on providing all artists.

It seems like listeners (or perhaps a subset) are listening by genre rather than by artist. I know genres and waves of music are nothing new, but with the lower barriers to creation as well as to consumption [1], we are seeing the number and frequency of new genres and sub-genres increase dramatically.

Anecdotally, I find myself using radio based music a lot more. E.g. I have a Synthwave station on SoundCloud that I listen to. I think this style is further exemplified with the popularity of sharing Spotify playlists. This is also why I think Spotify in particular are ahead -- the very people who would listen to Spotify published content are the people that already use Spotify.

In fact, I think this style better fits a lot of people who would use a streaming service in the first place. A lot of the people who want to listen to their favorite artists question the idea of paying for a subscription to maintain access to their favorite albums.

Of course, if Spotify goes this route, they are not alone. They would have to compete with services like SoundCloud and BandCamp. I think they could find success by toeing the line between major label content and indie content.

[1]: e.g. a "bedroom musician" can make their album over the course of a few weeks and then that album gets bought and listened to by someone thousands of miles away within minutes/hours of release. No printing copies, shipping, stocking, ticket purchasing, etc.

No, that's not bytes. You're counting code points. Because of the way Javascript works, it can't accept code points greater than U+FFFF, so it has to use surrogate pairs.
I've got a recent XPS15 with an i7 that is way more efficient than a few years old T530 with an i5.

You want power efficiency when you don't load the computer much, while you might also want to be able to load it a lot to get e.g. fast builds. If you can get both (and now it seems that you can) it does not make sense to only get power efficiency while never allowing high perf for transient high loads (or even sustained load for when you are plugged in).

Well the parent stated "if you met her, you'd know...". So I was wondering if they had specific examples that would lead someone who meets her to come to that conclusion. I wasn't paying attention to the "extremely" part.

Of course there's her background, but 1) that doesn't require anyone to know her and 2) it means she's successful, which may or may not mean she's brilliant.

Perhaps I'm just jaded by years in a BigCo. All a high position means to me is that they're "brilliant" at politicking and networking. (And staying silent in this case may be an example of that "brilliance").

"There are so many ways to use data to hurt people that the only safe database is the one that was never collected.

...

The basic principle is that a system must be designed not to collect certain data, if its basic function can be carried out without that data."

Frills on the system, such as [some feature conceived by PM or developer], are not part of the basic function, so they can't justify incorporating any additional surveillance."

These additional services could be offered separately to users who request them."

The title is "A radical proposal to keep your data safe."

But this doesnt sound "radical" at all.

To recap:

1. Dont collect data when unnecessary for the user.

2. Applications which perform a single function.

3. Additional "features" (i.e. more code) that add more functionality and make applications more complex are fine but they should be optional (e.g. not pre-installed or automatically added via "updates").
