I had a part-time job/internship at the now defunct netradio.com in college. I can't speak to much of the stack because I was in operations and mainly tasked with keeping the streaming media channels online.

All the e-commerce sites were windows, I believe serving .asp. I remember an engineer "fixing" the occasionally timing out site dedicated to CD sales by putting in a VB script that rebooted the box every four hours.

The 120 streaming channels, were each tower desktop PC's on a rack, with hard-drives filled with music that DJ's would program during the day. Each one ran Windows Media Server and Real Player's version of that (can't recall the name). There was some bat file that would queue songs up in the background. Akamai was doing the CDN at the time.

I feel like I didn't know enough at the time to understand much of what was going on. Our NOC shifts would be 4PM-12AM, 12AM-8AM, etc. On turnover, you'd generally tell your replacement, "Cafe Jazz is f*cked." There was beer in the fridge and this one lady had a large dog by her cube that always barked at me.

If I recall, they were losing 1M a quarter and I think the main competitor was live365, which let individual users create stations. I left to pursue fulltime employment after graduating college, but After it went under, I know some of my fellow NOC techs found out they didn't have a job by either showing up to locked doors, or having a parent read about it in the newspaper.

So don't know much about the stack, but maybe someone will find this interesting. I couldn't have asked for a better job at the time. 12/hr and 1.5x overnights, 2x on Sundays was great money while attending a small WI school and way better than Hardees.

Even if in some cases this was actually possible. Still, we need to evaluate if it is worth it. All the stories, movies, characters that are part of your formation and your culture will be privately owned and restricted until way after you are dead.

Characters, music, and other cultural assets only become free when nobody cares anymore about them.

We are evaluating the possibility of the creation of some cultural assets against the reality of other cultural assets that are not created because the government sets monopolistic restrictions on them.

There is a sweet spot where creators can live out of their creations. And were citizens can make their own vision of characters that personally meant a lot to them.

> They took down the song because I could not "prove" I was the owner.

Because it is not about rights, it is about power.
The laws differ per country, which makes this super complicated. One of the complexities is that you cannot actually opt out of copyright in many countries and semi private institutions exist that by default will start demanding fees for other people's works based on vague notion of them being the designated organization to do so. The legalities around this are super complicated but it boils down to private institutions having the right to charge fees for copyrighted work by default.

In Germany, this organization is called Gema and they send takedown notices and demand to be payed for work to which they do not own the copyright which they then distribute among their members. This happens even when this goes against the will of the legal copyright holder and you get absolutely nothing unless you are member. Becoming a member is very long process and is not free. So you have to pay to eventually get the right to get payed. It is effectively the bigger Gema members that grab most of the cash that it collects.

Effectively organizations like Gema are legalized extortion schemes. They get to play judge, prosecutor, and police. Real judges routinely and blindly rule in their favor. Lawmakers are lobbied into submission, etc. Wikipedia has a nice overview of how artists are getting ripped off, misc fraudulent schemes involving Gema, and how money rolls to their exclusive members rather than the artists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEMA_(German_organization).

What happened in this case is that the recordings are in the Gema database which parties like Youtube are required to use to check for potential violations. Of course Gema has no interest whatsoever to prune this database of stuff that shouldn't be there (like public domain stuff) and good luck convincing them to remove stuff from that db. More entries basically means more money for them and the burden is on the payer to prove otherwise. Their strategy is to make this as hard and tedious as possible so they can maximize their profits.

A big part of its success was the collapse of USSR. So luck and ability to self-reflect and realize on their fortunes and execute on that lucky break...
In the 90's they had a population of 4mil and something 300k Soviet immigrants were arriving every year. A large proportion of them was highly educated people. And those people who sent rockets to space were cleaning the streets...
So what they did right was just take money from US grants and give that money to everyone who wanted to build something and asked for it. They have built these huge warehouses/offices called "hothouses" on the outskirts of cities, put the unemployed scientists there, gave them some money and said build something.

Things are seriously whack in regards to posting anything regarding classical music online.

I had a short 1-minute video that I made last year to demo a product. I used the intro to Beethoven's Ninth, second movement, from a recording made in the 50s as background music.

Nobody would post it due to copyright issues. Heck if I could figure it out, and like all things fucked up about having algorithms tell me what I can and can't do online, I ignored it and moved on. Not worth fighting over something I shouldn't have to fight about.

I wonder, however, how many other people do the same thing that I do -- and how that's all going to end up over the long term. Not good, I expect.

I agree, we can't proceed without mistakes. But it's incorrect to say that there is no cost, and that we shouldn't minimise mistakes (which is what the comment I was replying to was implying).

The VC stuff... I'm not sure that it's not sustainable. The way VCs are selected is not totally efficient (I would say, not even very efficient). More than that, successful exits for VCs don't always mean that a product or service provided value to the world at large (or was a good use for limited engineering talent), there are lots of ways for a VC to get a successful exit without that happening (including a follow on investing giving them liquidity, before there is even a product on the market for example, or the company being acquired without having developed anything useful).

We had the best medical experience. We had awesome doctors and awesome hospital.

I have to say my son was adopted. He was a dirt poor kid who was neglected and had serious mental health issues due to his enviroment. My son got his femur replaced by one of the best pediatric orthopedic surgeons. His surgeon actually invested the procedure where they replace your femur bone instead of an removing the leg at the hip. We also got to stay at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and stay at the Ronald McDonald House (This is where it actually was founded).

I figure I will share this video of him since I mentioned his Mental Health issues. My kid was so resilient and he got better. His body didn't get healed but his heart and mind is the biggest miracle I have ever witnessed.

I'm not that fond of fancy strings myself, or things like CL's LOOP macro. I prefer real code with composable abstractions. The problem in my mind is that they're not integrated into the host language, and therefore don't compose well with the rest.

But that being said, using a simple embedded glue/scripting language that's fully integrated into the host environment makes a lot of sense to me. Emacs Lisp, Autocad, any game engine etc. It's a tried and proven strategy.

I started writing my own glue language [0] for C++ since I couldn't find anything simple and integrated enough for my taste.

This comparison is intellectually lazy or maybe even dishonest.

One difference between a house and a recording is marginal cost of replication/reproduction: not zero in case of a house, effectively zero in case of a recording.

Without a government granted monopoly on copies, the marginal financial value of a copy is close to zero in all but the most exotic cases.

With a government granted monopoly comes a real cost: enforcement, and loss of social value. How does one justify that?

Authors' descendants do not have a $DEITY granted eternal right to exploit the author's work, and rightly so. This is why "intellectual property" can be more accurately described as "intellectual rights".

1. CATOBAR means no onboard AEW (I'm not counting the Crowsnest on the Merlin). An E2 Hawkeye has longer loiter time, range and higher ceiling (granting a longer detection range).

2. Airborne refueling from a carrier is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing. STOVL aircraft have short legs anyways, so being able to provide dedicated tanking is essential.

3. Practice landings is an extra cost? How? With STOVL aircraft you still need to practice landings and takeoffs, and landings are still quite complicated. This will have no impact on the mix of aircraft that would or could be deployed.

4. Safety - the track record for STOVL is far far worse than normal aircraft. The Harrier has an atrocious rate of Class A accidents. Hopefully the F-35B will be better than past STOVL aircraft, but there's no indication that it will be safer than more traditional aircraft.

Correct. Harriers are out of service for the RN/RAF, and good they should be. The French were prudent in using CATOBAR with their carriers. They get the advantage of Rafale, F-18, E2, etc etc. Plus they wisely chose nuclear power.

I just don't buy the notion that extending copyrights way, way past death help the artist in any way. Why fight for labels' rights, when they largely amount to copyright trolls? Their artificial fears have made their way into YouTube, which just has to take those legal recordings down (they don't), because they're just so scared (they should not be) that this might be something that belongs to a troll.

Depending on where you are, a "regular" black coffee could also be an espresso.
