Just a suggestion, why not just allow background playback instead of spending your millions on another streaming app which would be ideally better than competition in single digit %s?
You might be on the point, efficient designs are bad for cloud providers. On the other hand, shitty designs that get hacked are bad PR for them.

Thing is, none of it matters. Bottom line matters.

They care to attract company decision makers. Decision makers are engineers in small to medium businesses, and managers in big ones. Sadly, its the big ones that matter for bottom line. So target is mid management, flashy power point presentations and 'conferences' that allow for justified travel and stay.

Good mid management, with tech background, exists, but is a minority.

Has Google not signed a whole bunch of military contracts?
You said that the Republican platform has reprehensible policy. You then criticized single issue voting because when you do so you pull in the entire platform, reprehensible policy included, which you suggest ends up being a net negative, despite whether you agree or not. Now consider another person. If they are a republican and vote for their party, even if they disagree with the reprehensible pieces, they still end up having a net negative impact on society because of their platform choice, by your logic.

I'm not sure what other conclusion someone is supposed to draw. That's how the stereotype you used works. I'm not republican, I don't care. But I do know republicans and I know that calling the platform reprehensible isn't helping anything or changing any minds.

I can excuse it if you were only intending to present an academic example supporting your general point about single issue voting in a two party system. I often do the same and have fallen into the same trap before. But if that was your intention it was lost one me. Maybe work on slightly more finessed phasing to avoid the downvotes in the future?
What about smaller altcoins, is it the same?
> "Google's engineers are mass protesting"

~12 Google employees resigned. Out of ~4,000 signers to the petition. Out of ~74,000 total employees. A drop in the bucket. Clearly the vast majority of google employees don't care, rationalize away, or excuse the fact that they work for the military industrial complex.
Best analogy on this subject I've seen. I am sure there are a couple of issues that are left out, but it works for my needs (I am not a lawyer).
Chinese “accelerators” in Silicon Valley
While I partly agree, I remember examples such as the terrorist attacks in Paris where it was covered on every media for a long period in time, and a few months later there was a mass killing in Afghanistan with way more deaths and obviously was done in the same dramatic way but most media didn't even cover it.
I'd say it has to do with how unexpected is that event to happen. Same applies to people's grief. Everyone had some sort of support for paris up, or even with the newspaper attack ze suis etc, noone cared about what happened in Afghanistan. :/
That is my impression of current AI research as an almost layman at the field. Using traditional proven methods to get an approximation and then deep learning and/or other machine learning algorithms (and trained data) to refine those approximations.

Seem to be a very "organic" kind of AI, even with the flaws of human minds. Thinking about it can be spooky given how much it evolved in just a few years.
The pressure distribution inside the proton
I very highly doubt that is the only thing.

Belief in religion is a normal part of the human experience, even though the beliefs differ and some folks don't have them. These beliefs are generally harmless at best and for some, they help folks have community, a purpose, and all of these other positive things. Sure, some negatives, but that's life.

Normalcy plus lack of the belief causing life problems. Doesn't sound like general sickness to me.

Naturally there are grey areas and exceptions and cults and all this sort of thing, but it doesn't take religion to produce them.

I should at this point mention that I'm atheist.

The domain was paid, the registrar took the money, but .io didn't renew it, because they need the renewal notice at least 3 days prior to expiry.

Hey, this is actually pretty cool! I have some questions.

On this page [1] there is mention of documents being stored locally. How much memory does this take up on the user's machine? What about pruning of old documents?

I'm aware that you're not targeting the smartphone space as of yet (I can't see any downloads for Android and iOS), but as the majority of searches do come from a smartphone, I'm wondering if YaCy is planning on moving into that space? If so, those previous questions about storage and pruning are very much relevant.

I do not think that javascript as a language has much advantages for learning than, let's say Lua or Python.

However, the fact that it is linked to HTML and DOM make it very easy to have immediate feedback without installing any tooling or IDEs.

But then, modern JavaScript is quite different from what one can learn just by using the devtools. I think that once one starts to use more advanced js tooling, things get quite worse than in almost any other language.

That's not really the Rust way, for instance things like timekeeping and random number generation are delegated to external crates. Given how trivial it is to add dependencies thanks to cargo it's not really an issue in practice, even if I do think that they go a bit overboard at times (time really ought to be in std IMO, especially since there's already a rather useless std::time module).
Yes, only infertility stops humans from unbounded exponential population growth. All other factors are irrelevant.
> however their GPU drivers are terrible, especially under linux.

Imo the AMD drivers are way better than Nvidia's drivers. They're included in the kernel and therefore open source. Compared to Nvidia's proprietary drivers that have horrible support with a lot of compositors and lack support for DDC/CI over DisplayPort. The Nouveau drivers are better (slower performance but better compatibility), but are unable to change the clock speed (and are set to the minimum).

The AMD drivers "just worked". Selling my RX480 for a GTX 1070 was the worst decision I made when it came to compatibility. Now I can't even get Vsync to work with this Nvidia crap.
In theory that sounds like a possible reason. But I dont see it playing out that way.

They're given a PR with all the information needed, exactly as they requested it. They literally just have to click merge, and it's done.

Instead, they add their own manual steps of arbitrary Alexa ranking checks, and now, going back through existing entries to check them against Alexa, not just now, but in the past as well.

This whole exercise is creating work for them, not reducing it.

Most of my interactions with Amazon Customer Service has been nothing short of perfect. Just the other day, I called to complain that an item that was marked as "delivered" actually wasn't delivered at all. Within 3 minutes, I got a complete refund and also a free 1-month Amazon prime extension.

I wonder what happens to self-uploaded music. I read that it's being migrated, but will we still be able to upload, or will this disappear?

The only reason why I'm not with Spotify, but with Google Music (or now Apple music as test) is because I have a lot of songs that are just not covered in their catalogues that I uploaded myself.

Hey HN,

Often, I come across interesting quotes or tips that are worth saving.

I’m lazy, so I needed a way to save them effortlessly – otherwise, I would forget or procrastinate.

I also wanted a pop out every now and then to remind me of my highlights, so I don’t have to manually check the quotes.

Then I hacked together a workflow that saves quotes using a shortcut and a cronjob that shows a random quote periodically (every 6 hours).

I used this setup for almost two years and it worked perfectly (My saved highlights: http://mhasbini.com/highlights.html).

Recently I decided to make the quotes accessible from the menu bar with the ability to easily change configurations and manage the quotes. I worked with a friend who had similar needs and so Quoter was born.

It just works and doesn’t get in your way. It’s configurable and lightweight (~3 MB compressed and have small footprint).

Hope you like it.

> e-mail asking you what steps are needed to deploy an app into production since it's not documented anywhere

Two points, immediately:

1) Can I autoscale the app, as in what is the data/files persistence model?

2) Did you write Readme.md with a) build steps b) networking requirements c) data sources d) authentication model e) database ACID requirements ?
This really depends on dosage, reaction, and timing.

I'd always advise folks to be with someone more experience their first time. Just in case. And be knowledgeable about the range of experiences before taking. Once one has a bit of experience, being in public isn't so bad if it is timed right.

I went to see Weird Al coming down from LSD. It was nice.

I had a wonderful talk with a homeless Romanian dude in Amsterdam coming down from truffles sold there. Between the lights of the building at night, being on a vacation without my spouse, and everything combined it was pretty neat. But I'm pretty relaxed and didn't have much to really worry about as most of this was planned (minus the discussion). It isn't really much different than keeping yourself safe while cooking on psychedelics (yes, I've done this stuff).

Note, this mentions coming down - things get increasingly safer after you've peaked and are coming down. Dosage also plays a part in this: You don't have to completely lose touch with reality completely to loosen up your mind or have fun with the drug.
I have absolutely no problem with Twitter trying to earn money. I just don't get how they are trying to do it?

When I'm reading my Twitter timeline in Twitterific, I'm not seeing ads. Which is probably why twitter wants me to use their website.

But why don't they just require third-party apps to show paid tweets? IIRC it's not even possible currently, because ads don't show up in their API output.

It seems insane to stymie the universe of alternative CLIENTS when what you contrl is the MESSAGES.
I didn't specify which operating systems, which makes it ironic that Windows was not involved at all in that process. I've used WSL, but on my Windows-only desktop that mostly runs games. See, my work machine never ran Windows. Good job going on a rant about it though.
Are there any plans to make reddit video better? It's by far the worst video experience i've ever had on, well, anything really. On FF mobile it freezes regularly, audio and/or video, seems to take an eternity to load (and i'm presented with a black screen all the while). You're also unable to link to the videos directly. I get why this was done, but could you not just use some form of interstitial site and check referer headers like every other website out there? On Vivaldi, it just outright (used to) crash the browser.

I get that the Vivaldi issue was an issue with the browser itself, which has just been fixed, but this was only within Reddit, and not the billions of other sites on the internet. What the hell is going on?

With regards to the redesign, i'm actually in awe of how badly it was done. I literally knocked up a browser extension in a weekend a few years ago which performs far better than the current design. I feel really bad having a go like this but i am genuinely curious as to how this massive, relatively simple (i use the term lightly, i know it is complicated) front end has suffered like this. You have a huge amount of money from conde naste, and - from reading the backend/performance blogs - some seriously shit hot engineers; what went wrong? Is there a large amount of politics halting progress? Did you try some new frameworks/technologies which just failed/didn't work as expected? Genuinely curious (and again sorry if it seems like i'm having a go).

I think because the raccoons are in the government. If Bear Stearns is a coyote, Goldman Sachs is a raccoon. They don't mind breaking stuff for profit, and yet they always get some people in every single US government.
To me it's not so much "So smart they can't help but need you", as it is "being right is more important than anything else". The world doesn't work like that (often), but it's an attractive ideal in some ways
Could they be making more money from ads than they expect to make from a reasonably priced premium version?
Yeah, it would be surprising if it was 100% regular too -- it's the rotation of a (very slightly but still) changing body of mass in space.
So this is just a way to bulk identify people in a certain location at a certain time. Fairly efficient I guess but could bring up a lot of false positives, like passers by, journalists etc

These companies losing investor money isn't anything like the broken window fallacy.

If I pay a company $0.75 for a $1 widget with a $0.25 VC subsidy, I get the $1 widget and I'm ahead a widget. Nobody had to destroy a widget to make me buy a new one.

The underlying widget suppliers still get the full price so the money is flowing into the economy. The VCs are the only ones losing anything.

So paying people to clean parks is not better for the economy than VC subsidizing blue apron meals.

The mistake you are making is assuming that a company losing money cannot provide more value to society than it loses.

That's the root of the problem of freemasonry.

It means that a freemason have to hold contradictory positions as true. One might be an atheist by one cannot reject the so-called supreme being, one might belong to an Abrahamic religion but one cannot reject the Hindu pantheon. And within the Abrahamic religions it's more contentious than anything.

It's an expression of the Orwellian "2 + 2 = 5", and it's a very dangerous anti-realist totalitarian ideology, and it should be rejected whether you're a theist or an atheist.
Like the electric grid, it is a physical monopoly. Either fiber or coax, the ISPs piggy back on the utility poles of the electric grid, and those poles can only hold so many lines.

Many electric grids have gone through 'deregulation' which is actually more regulations regarding the usage and sharing of the physical lines, resulting in competition among power companies. In those areas the state essentially owns the lines now and power companies sell the power.

Why is this not true for the coax? At this point it should be reclaimed via eminent domain laws. The electric lines and poles already have been, as they have long been recognized as a physical monopoly.
Your shitty sarcasm is a poor substitute for actually engaging with the context of the article or the science. It's sort of like objecting to medical research for the same reason.

I think just putting it in context is the key part. Many products adopt this kind of style for their screenshots (see sublimetext [1], for example). TBH, in that case, I think it's most useful when they accurately reflect reality so you can understand whether it's a native app versus a web app, or whether it's a mac app or a windows app, etc. Still, even just an indicator that 'this is a screenshot' is a useful design element, even if it might already seem as obvious as can be.

This seems redundant but I do know a lot of people who find it easier to turn on music via youtube than any other service, for some reason.

Personally I think this should have been a move for more user generated content categories within Google Play Music instead of altering the Youtube concept.

Because anything other than user generated content and you have to assume that Alphabet already has permission to play it in one service, then why not get permission to play it in their actual music service.
