> YIMBY movements won't succeed until we convince poor renters that THEIR lives will also be better in a denser, more affordable city.

A denser city may have more affordable rents per square foot of living space, but it is not obvious that it would be more affordable otherwise. Building taller buildings in SF will make living space cheaper, but as those fill up it's not going to make food, water, or other necessities more.locally abundant, it's not’s going to make transit or parking cheaper, etc.; without lots of money and time for infrastructure improvements, it's going to make all those things more expensive. And even if developers pay for all the costs directly, those costs are going to get passed on to buyers and, from the new landlords, to renters.
I used to get in a lot of arguments online about cryonics back in the day (it's very possible that you and I have had this debate under different usernames on that other site for Valley nerd-types); they always went nowhere and I'm not interested in getting back into them. Suffice to say that I'm not convinced by cryonics organizations' "we're not promising anything" disclaimers: I think these are done with a knowing wink and that they use Pascal's mugging-style "what have you got to lose?" arguments to bypass concerns about their feasibility to get your money.
I don't think calling out 'society needs to care more' as bullshit means we collectively throw up our hands and walk away. It means we recognize that 'getting many people to coordinate on something' just plain isn't going to happen as the primary mode of addressing these issues and instead work on solutions that do work.

For a subset, sure, maybe a good PR push gets people sufficiently inflamed about a particular topic, but does that mean that key problems that aren't 'viral' enough aren't deserving of a proper solution? If "society needs to care more" is the answer, then that's the implication. But that's obviously wrong.
My reading of it is that the DNS request gets encrypted on the client and sent to ODNS. ODNS doesn't know how to decrypt the request so it can't see what you are looking for, just that it is you that is looking.

The ODNS resolver then sends the encrypted request to the DNS resolver on your behalf, and the DNS resolver decrypts the request and services it. This meanst that the DNS resolver knows what website you are looking for, but doesn't know that it is you that is looking for it.

The DNS resolver then encrypts the result and returns it to the ODNS, which then returns it to you.

It is basically decoupling the identity of the requester from the domain being requested.

Never thought I would ask something like this, but here goes:

What's Y Combinator's stance on the death requirement? Nectome was at demo day last month and Sam Altman is (or was) on the waiting list.

Following the example of electric-vehicle maker Tesla, it is sizing up demand by inviting prospective customers to join a waiting list for a deposit of $10,000, fully refundable if you change your mind.

So far, 25 people have done so. One of them is Sam Altman, a 32-year-old investor who is one of the creators of the Y Combinator program.

Yep, playlists are one of the reasons I use Spotify. The fact that you can search other playlists that other users made on Spotify and easily get curated lists relating to every genre makes the entire experience very nice. It's nice to just type in a genre or mood and get hundreds of playlists that fit the bill.

For example, I like some noir movies and the jazz within that genre. There isn't a specific genre that most music playing devices would realize but Spotify has lots of user made playlists that has the type of music I want. Compared to Google's lackluster results

I don't really think that iTunes or Google Play has the same thing, I may be wrong though.
I've been considering writing a Synapse-equivalent Matrix server in Elixir, if there was enough interest.
The startup is not claiming to have current uploading technology. The startup is researching (does not claim to have) brain preservation techniques leading to long-term structure preservation in hopes of uploading sometime in the indefinite future. If your personal opinion is that this cannot happen, that does not make other people who have different beliefs and are upfront about their arguments for them "scammers".
> and there's ways to make Cloud Sync work as a one-way street

Sadly it still means if the source gets corrupted for whatever reason the backup is done, for business files sync is really not backup (I don't think I'm teaching you anything there, but really this sadly doesn't fit my needs at all). Also Hyper Vault is all about the intelligent versionning.

While it's possible to trick it by doing the backup somewhere and then syncing THAT to B2 (and I do it for my personnal NAS), it's too much of a hassle and "complex" setup that I can't see myself pushing that to my customers.

OVH managed to get them to add HubiC in there so clearly there is a way. Hope you will keep pushing them until they move on it ! And thanks for making such a great product :)
I'm curious how you get to that conclusion, care to share your reasoning?
Across all platforms Spotify is consistently pretty good. I didn’t feel the same way with Google Music. The UI and performance would be problematic sometimes. The no YouTube ads is nice.

Some people on HN like areas especially might care about diversifying who they give their money and/or attention to. Spotify has an advantage there too.
The cryonics companies only promise preservation of body/brain tissues, not resuscitation.
ABI compatibility, or even just source compatibility, with the OpenSSL C API (as bad as that API is) is a huge win as there is an enormous base of OpenSSL-using applications. Being able to remove the vast majority of bugs from OpenSSL in those apps is a big win. Of course, the quality of Mesalink is important, but there are many bugs it may be immune to by dint of being coded in Rust.

what.cd would have had it in FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, AAC and six different bitrates of MP3.

Leaving legality aside, I was always really impressed with the level of curation people put into that particular private tracker. You could find every vinyl and CD release of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue in just about every file format you could hope for.

I hope eventually streaming services become so low-friction and commonly used that enforcing copyright takedowns on sites like what.cd will become a thing of the past and we can benefit from their value as a deep archive of esoterica.
And given the recent discovery of what some are calling (possibly inaccurately) an entirely new organ in the body resulting from changes in the visualization technologies available (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/31/health/new-organ-intersti...)...

I, for one, wouldn't trust that their preservation solution is sufficient for reconstruction of anything even approximating consciousness without a successful bidirectional demonstration. Far too high a risk that what they'd be able to deliver right now is a very smelly paperweight that used to be someone's brain.

Putting the above aside: If Tox doesn't work for you, your best mobile-friendly options are: 1) Signal and 2) as others have mentioned Matrix - if you want a self hosted and federated solution.

Bandcamp lets me download lists of people who've bought my music and of people who follow my profile. This is because they understand the business is mine, and they're simply a service provider for that business. Even their subscription system runs right through the musician's own Stripe account, so you can always take your subscriptions elsewhere.

I don't have any reason to trust that a VC-fueled monster like Spotify understands this. If Spotify bought Bandcamp, I would remove my music from it.

VC-fueled behemoths like to make people dependent on them. I can't trust my business to a company that gets most of its money from outside investors instead of the people who use the service. Their incentives are fundamentally misaligned with my interests.

If you don't add a tip to the credit receipt, the IRS will estimate a tip value for tax purposes. I don't know the exact amount, but I think it's around 10%. If you are intent upon helping service staff evade taxes, the optimal strategy would therefore be to put 10% on the receipt and drop the remainder on the table in cash.

This also means that if you stiff your server and leave no tip, they are still getting taxed as though you left 10%. If you really want to be a jerk, be slightly less of a jerk by leaving a $0.01 tip on the receipt. This will also allow them to post it to outrage-fueled social media for a tiny bit of temporary fame.

Most people aren't that invested into stigginit to da Man, or at least not just via their restaurant tips. You'd be better off paying cash for everything, no-receipt requested, and not involving the electronic point-of-sale till at all.

Perhaps we are talking two different things here, I was merely talking about securing your server to protect you and your users' data.

For example, can I ask you how you secure your server? Would your server be able to pass an Openvas/Nessus penetration test, have you even performed one? What are your server update policies like? Do you have any external logging server? If not, how do you know someone malicious didn't login to your server and stole your data and erased his tracks?

There are a lot more variables when it comes to security and data.
Spotify could then turn into a label + live music organizer, giving artists more of a cut and cutting out labels entirely.

I don't disagree, if you look at the way Netflix pushes their own content over what used to be entirely studio movies and network TV shows you can see a current example of how this plays out.

I was thinking that if Spotify kept the same experience for listeners that they had now in order to grow their subscription base, and just reported higher earnings for the artists they had signed versus ones signed to a 'different' label, that over time as contracts came up for renewal people would move over to Spotify.
And apparently the past?
The FX series has high core counts but much lower single thread performance vs. Intel chips. For example, the FX-8350 has a respectable passmark score of 8949 which puts it in the ballpark of an i7 3770, which came out 3 quarters earlier, but its single thread passmark rating of 1509 is significantly less than 2069 for the i7 3770. The FX-8350 initially cost around $200 and the i7 3770 cost around $350. So the FX wasn't ever really competitive with Intel and certainly never crushed an Intel server chips.

(agreeing and amplifying)

ADS-B out is only mandated in an extremely limited subset of the airspace where drones will be likely flying (and then only after Jan 1, 2020).

ADS-B out is only mandated[1] in cylinders around class C and the 30nm ring around class B airports, in class A airspace (at/above 18000' MSL), and in class E airspace that is both above 10000' MSL and 2500' AGL.

In practice, that means that most of the volume of drone-navigable airspace does not require other aircraft to have ADS-B out transmitters.

In none of the airspace are other aircraft required to have ADS-B in receivers.

"See and avoid" is therefore both practically and legally[2] required.

I'm a social creature. I have a long history of being involved in various online communities and being interested in what individuals link to, whether they posted it to the front page or linked it in comments.

The degree of my interest is partly based on personal relevance and partly based on "reputation" of the poster, for lack of a better term.

If I know someone has a strong background in something and/or posts a lot on the topic, I may click into something they posted in part because they posted it. This can be true in spite of personal friction between us or me having a negative view of them or their behavior.

It isn't a case of "I like them personally or see them as a friend, so I check their links." It is very much "I believe them to be knowledgeable about X topic and I am interested in X topic."

If I don't have any idea who they are but they wrote an interesting comment and linked something within that comment, I may take a peek for that reason.

Conversely, if I have reason to believe they are pushing an agenda in a completely disrespectful fashion and/or "don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up" kind of way, I may skip their links because it is probably fruit of the poison seed. On HN, I occasionally run across, for example, angry "feminist" handles who are just here to spew manhating venom. The content they want promoted here is often vile and far worse than merely a waste of my time. I may feel like I need a shower after being exposed. No thank you.

I sometimes know of someone who is a weird intersection between I respect their knowledge and I cringe at their blatant toxic behavior. That gets tricky at times. But, most of the time, checking information posted by someone who has a strong background works well as a filter for finding good information without wasting a whole lot of my time.

I currently spend time on HN, twitter and reddit. You can kind of curate twitter content because what is in your feed is largely based on who you follow. I unfollow people who fill my timeline with things I find objectionable and I keep an eye out for interesting accounts.

On reddit, I avoid the front page and gravitate towards small out of the way subreddits pertinent to my interests. My recent experience of reddit has been overall positive. The first time I tried it, it lived down to its nasty reputation. This time has been completely different and it has a lot to do with how I am interacting with the site.

I'm strongly interested in people. That goes a long way towards exposing me to diverse content.

IMO signing exclusive artists seems like a strategic red herring because such deals would not be done in a vacuum. I think the transition period in building up substantial leverage with exclusive artists means theres quite a bit of time for the record labels to retaliate.

My pie in the sky recommendation would be to figure out a way to offer a record label's services for free without exclusivity. Then existing labels will have nowhere to turn.
I can also attest to CV being a great OMSCS class. To me they are by far the best lectures in the program in terms of breadth and depth. They're the most similar to in-class instruction of a university unlike every other class in the program.

As for Isbell+Littman... while their lectures may be more jovial, I wouldn't say they were as effective in learning. I hated the videos tbh. For ML, I found my learning consisted of watching other available videos on the web. Including institutions like CMU, UW, Stanford, and YouTube.
"Muzard warned that Zuckerberg is personally vulnerable if the "crisis of confidence lingers on. He might find it hard to hold on if shareholders start getting out. Things can happen very quickly. His equivalent at Uber did not survive a series of crises, and because Zuckerberg personifies Facebook there is no real fall guy to take the bullet for him."

He is therefore taking a big gamble by agreeing to testify before the US Congress, even if Facebook has also ramped up its lobbying of politicians.

I guess that’s true if you define the “modern era” as “starting with Spotify”.
