Just beautiful. The ability of 3D printing, not just to automate a traditional construction process, but to enable radically different designs is going to create a whole new style of architecture. Many of the old constraints don't apply and the human imagination is given a freer reign. There's still that pesky law of gravity that must be respected, but otherwise this offers a remarkable freedom.
I don't feel we're at the point of saying 'it's turning out well' for Netflix. For sure on the awards side of things and quality shows etc... but haven't they raised billions upon billions in debt to make these shows?

Their execution on doing their own content has been great. However the long term value of these movies / shows still has to prove out in profits at some point.

Can Unit Testing and Core Data Become BFFs?
Help me out, I genuinely can't think of a music streaming service that came before Spotify.

I vividly remember being blown away by their product when it came to market. I remember because I had never seen anything like it and literally didn't believe it could be done at that time. I was waiting for a train and could just search for any song and play it right away from my phone, no downloading, no waiting, just instant music. I was very sceptical beforehand but was instantly sold.

Did I miss another service that did something even remotely similar before Spotify did it?
I love MapD and been following them for a couple years. . I've been trying to do similar things using crossfilter, dc.js and custom elements. It works well up to 100K records, but we're starting to need millions of rows. But the entry previously was steep technically and financially. This cloud offering sounds perfect.
The History and Future of Quantum Information
Too late to edit, so, summary of what I sent OP in my email:

1. Taking the coursera course probably a valuable use of time, alongside more general "meta-learning" about personal psychology. Books such as "How to Win friends..." "Power of Habit..." "Wherever you go, there you are..." etc

2. Use "anki" or "ankidroid" depending on platform. Get public decks "Hiragana with stroke diagrams and audio," "Kana (katakana)," "Core 2k/6k optimized Japanese vocabulary," and use following youtube video to then create forward/backwards cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnbKwHEQ1mA

3. Use this resource for japanese grammar and complete exercises: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar

4. Use this to practice listening skills: http://www.nhk.or.jp/radionews/

5. Create and write down a clear reason for learning Japanese, and potentially book a flight (well ahead of time, and if economically viable) to set a concrete timeline for learning.

EDIT: By the way, the "Core 2k..." cards have example phrases for every word. I don't recommend trying to memorize these, but I do recommend reading the sentence out loud for every card. Muscle memory, further familiarity with grammar, helping sort whether a given verb is a ru- or non-ru verb, etc.
I'm repeating the well-known saying that power corrupts. A leader is a baby fascist.
"
To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth—all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances." - Lee De Forest, inventor of the vacuum tube, 1957

If you use the "don't wire brush your grill" thread as your ruler anything that could possibly be harmful to consumers whether used properly or not should be illegal.
If you're already using Rust, you should use Rustls directly and jump on the opportunity to avoid having the absolutely fucking insane OpenSSL API in your stack at all.

Ideally such a misdesigned API would not exist at all. Library interfaces should be engineered to prevent mistakes. Here are a handful of the problems I've run into recently when dealing with legacy OpenSSL code (legacy being the reason it uses OpenSSL, not the reason it was bad):

Some error codes are `int`s, other are `long`s. Different error codes need to be passed to different stringification functions, and these have different allocation and string-loading semantics. Why on earth do I have to manually load error strings in the first place? I don't pass a string-table handle into the stringification, so I don't even get context isolation (multiple instances of OpenSSL in one thread have conflicts)!

The entire BIO framework is insanely overcomplicated and could be stripped down to a minimal buffer-based encryption API (c.f. the BSD libtls API).

Then you have API like `SSL_CTX_set_verify` which simply ignores irrelevant flags rather than returning an error about them. This is terrible.

Nobody should use OpenSSL for new projects.

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> why single out these two providers?

They are the first two. We are very open to more!

> Shared parent company?

Backblaze is owned by employees. 100% of the board of directors work at the company every day. We have no parent company. :-)

> Cheaper peering for some reason?

Yes. We made sure any candidate partner has a direct cross connect with our locations and the data goes over pipes we own so our costs are "fixed". After you own/lease the fiber line the bandwidth is "mostly" free inside of it. I say "mostly" because we still have to pay a tiny amount for each network port on each end, some electricity, etc. But it's negligible compared to paying for bandwidth at market rates.

Google's service was late to the party and feels like an afterthought. And Google has a pretty big history of shuttering products that don't get big, so I wouldn't want to trust to keeping my music there.

There's no real evidence that the human brain functions anything like an Information Processor and, in fact, a growing body of evidence that suggests it's not. We still know so little about the brain and comparing a brain to a computer is is at best a flawed metaphor and at worst an outright falsehood. The idea that any sort of human consciousness can be uploaded or stored by a computer is asinine

I agree with the entirety of your comment, except for your specific points 1 and 2. Post facto, having spent cash gives you less insight into what it was spent on (unless you want to diligently duplicate the recording of a credit card with your own private ledger). And it's often cited that businesses accepting cash have real costs for doing so, which I tend to believe (armored cars, etc).
Agreed, I shared this article link yesterday in a comment on the Panera bread disclosures. I’m more of the school of thought that this is a technique that helps when you have no intention of fixing the root cause not neccesarily maintaining public image.

Spotify's market share is currently being attacked on both ends.

Apple Music is supposedly set to surpass Spotify in number of paid subscribers this summer.

Youtube has always had more free listeners than Spotify, as far as I know.

It's not at all clear who the major players in the music streaming business will be five years from now, which means that all of the power remains with the owners of the music that people want to listen to. AKA the major record labels.
I'm as bearish as you are bullish. Spotify is getting squeezed with record labels on one side and Google/Apple (now at 38M subs compared to Spotifys 71M subs) on the other.

I also do not think the Spotify situation is anything like Netflix. First, Netflix is an add-on service for most people that compliments other video services. OTOH, few people will have multiple music streaming services. This leads to a few issues for Spotify:

1) If Spotify starts its own label, and the other labels pull their music in retaliation, Spotify is done.

2) Back catalogs and current big name artists/content is a must in music streaming - a completely different situation than Netflix was ever in. DIY punk will not carry Spotify, neither will becoming a niche DIY label.

Given Spotify's current loses I just don't see how they turn profitable. Can Spotify turn the 90M non-paying users into subscriptions?
It should be noted that it can be contractually waived in most cases, e.g. by a poster saying "no cash accepted" in a store. And it's not like this law is actually enforced as anyone who has ever tried paying with cash at Berlin's city administration can attest to. If not even they obverse they law I wouldn't put much value into it.

Minor correction: The Ryzen 2000 series uses the same socket, so you can use the same motherboard, although AMD claims that the newer X470 chipset will give you better performance. Either way, I agree with your assessment: It doesn't seem worth it to upgrade if you already have a Ryzen 7.

> But we haven't figured out a way to scale the vending machine model yet,

Haha sure we have, it just isn't as profitable as the current solutions which are to collect as much data as you can and use that information secondary income such as selling to marketers or using for "analytics" or "targeting"

Service builders just have to care about designing their systems like this. Every single person in this thread who works with or for one of these information collecting companies is responsible for the current state of the world.

> If someone paid $1500 for their laptop, however, they're going to want that convenience of being able to prove they purchased the laptop from XX retailer and be compensated if the thing is a lemon.

That can easily be solved. Either by using GNU Taler as Stallman describes, or by issueing cryptographic receipts of a purchase, whereby the vendor digitall signs the receipt so they can recognize it later if presented, but internally they just don't store a record of that transaction, or they don't store any information about who purchased that.

It's not a hard problem to just not store personally identifiable information, you just don't store it.

What is a hard problem is convincing people in these industries that they should care, that they should protect user privacy by not collecting the information in the first place.
The new way developers are making EVEN MORE money?
As I'm sure you know, right now developers are in hot demand and their salaries often reflect that. So how are they making EVEN MORE money??

Side hustles. Did you know 20% of Googlers are working on side projects right now?

Most developers have a side hustle or two and now that www.githustle.com has launched, they can just sit back and watch even more money stroll in. By connecting to sellers, developers can just post their projects and have someone else sell it. They split the profits, but it's a new twist on the old model of developers going out and hustling for freelance work. They're just making money off the stuff they've already built.

It's not just developers though, anyone can go to www.githustle.com and connect with a developer. They typically split the profits with their seller so you're both making a good chunk of change on the side.

Here are some links if you want to check it out:

Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> currency conversion is expensive

Backblaze probably won't accept other currencies in 2018. However, we definitely have heard about this issue, and we have a feature in the works to allow you to "load up" your account with an arbitrary amount of pre-paid cash so that you pay ONE transaction fee to deposit (as an example) £250 pounds at once (incurring the £2.50 conversion fee exactly once) and then as Backblaze deducts from this account balance instead of a credit card there are zero transaction fees.

Would that help?

The OTHER reason this is a requested feature is some customers want a "reserve fund" to be used if their Credit Card payment fails, as a hedge against Backblaze deleting their data for lack of payment.

> In recent years artists like Drake have started their own labels and collaborated directly with tour organizers to generate different sources of income and cut out middlemen.

Drake starting his own "label" is not a new innovation he came up with (rappers been doing that since the 90s) and still comes with just as many middlemen. Emphasis on last sentence in quote.

>During the composition of Nothing Was the Same, Drake started his own record label in late 2012 with producer Noah "40" Shebib, and business partner, Oliver El-Khatib. Drake sought for an avenue to release his own music, as well helping in the nurturing of other artists, while Shebib and El-Khatib yearned to start a label with a distinct sound, prompting the trio to team up to form OVO Sound.[297] The name is an abbreviation derived from the October's Very Own moniker Drake used to publish his earlier projects. The label is currently distributed by Warner Bros. Records.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_(musician)#OVO_Sound
same could be said about movies and tv shows. and netflix had no problem exploiting a market opportunity (produce actual quality content unlike the plethora of vapid crap currently pumped out on the mainstream media networks). so not hard to believe spotify can take the same approach. whether they can be successful is the big question.
