I wonder if this was the plan all along.
I think the outrage is more so that Spotify thinks it can tell you how your computer is operating. Other companies have found ways to circumvent adblockers, which is the route they should be taking here... Not telling users that their computers have to conform to some set of standards so that they can inject ads into your experience.
Apple's focus is on "average" people, not people with diabetes.

Also it saddens me to hear "I hope that company X will solve Y" instead of "I hope some university develops a method to solve Y".
It's way too expensive for what it delivers.
Plus, spy-vertising and creepily recording users' mouse movements is 100% not required for Web advertising to be A Thing that Pays For Lots of Stuff. The notion that if we kill the moats that Google and friends have with their vast troves of user data and various spying methods it'll be anything more than a speedbump to the Web generally is ridiculous. Bad for Google and Facebook and so on, yeah. But so what.
Yeah, I forgot to mention the Concorde across the street. (Sinsheim is literally on the other side of the autobahn from Speyer) They really have a unique collection of amazing stuff, each museum can take you 2-3 days to fully explore.
woah woah woah, you can't go expecting a company to take responsibility for what their service does. I think there's a constitutional amendment about that.
Showing that paradoxes are incoherent is a logical exercise, not a scientific one.

If we use a truth-table to show "P and not P" is always false, that's logic. If we repeatedly drop a ball and observe that it falsifies "balls don't fall", that's science. Stop confusing the two.

Dennett has not provided a laboratory experiment X such that if "simonh is the only conscious being in the universe" is true then X has one result, and yet when we run the experiment we see a different result.
Fair enough. I must’ve skimmed past that in my first reading.
> That kind of mitigation just makes me one step away from Rust - system programming languages should stick to the platform behavior, otherwise it's just another Python.

That's silly. The standard library of new systems programming languages should do the safe thing, not inherit all the mistakes of the OS that the OS can't fix due to backwards compatibility. If Unix were being designed today, I am certain O_CLOEXEC would have been the default. Besides, Rust's behavior matches what happens on Windows, and cross-platform consistency in the standard library is desirable.

In any case, what glib does matches what the Rust standard library does. The latter uses posix_spawn() directly in order to make sure no file descriptors are passed between parent and child. There is an API available to request file descriptor sharing explicitly.

Right, except they are selling it to ad networks/companies, so it all comes back to the Ad market being the end consumer.
Crystal is still pretty young and under pretty active development. For me, the biggest con is the long compile times for Crystal.
Bandcamp is another option. They have multiple download formats, including FLAC. Lately I've been seeing more albums from artists on ("major" indie) labels, not just self-released.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic - but isn't he in 1945 correctly predicting the development of the western world over the next 30-40 years, in which the US were clearly the dominating NATO power? I don't think Heisenberg meant that the US will threaten European nations with annihilation.
That is the justification for the bomb for the American public.

Many Japanese cities (sixty-ish) were destroyed by traditional firebombing. For the Japanese, Hiroshima and Nagasaki simply meant "two more cities".

Two days after Hiroshima, Russia declared war against Japan. So their strategic position in the war became hopeless. Historians believe Russia entering the war shaped the surrender much more than the atomic bomb.

Why do you think Americans judge less or do not judge?

Spotify has a pretty cheap paid option that removes all of that. To those who justify wanting the paid service for nothing by saying Spotify won't "take responsibility" or "assume liability" for their ads or those ads "might deliver malware" or are "intrusive" as a weak rationalization, you present a false dichotomy. There are at least three options:

1. Pay for the service

2. Suffer through the ads

3. Don't use the service

This thread is an object lesson in why basically every large service on the Internet is ad-supported. When people aren't willing to pay for 1-2 coffees for a month of unlimited music streaming are you really surprised that companies have no choice to use an advertising revenue model?
"benefit of allowing it to revert to nature"

Environmentalism is now best seen as planet scale gardening.
Spotify: Provide service that costs labor, resources, licensing, etc.

Spotify: Use ads for non-paying users to help cover the costs

Freeloading Users: Use third party software to sidestep this source of revenue, essentially getting the product for free.

Spotify: Ban these users.

I'm surprised at the amount of entitlement hiding behind "I'm worried about the security concerns of allowing 3rd party JS to run on my device." If you don't want that happening, use one of the many alternatives and take the usability hit. Pandora, online portals for actual radio stations (like BBC Radio 1), and Youtube all work, but maybe don't have as great of a user experience as Spotify (or another paid streaming service). And let's be honest, the small minority of people here who evangelize "Spotify is evil" to friends/family is not going to have a meaningful impact on their user numbers.
Having a C++-based Python kernel available doesn't mean "Jupyter switches to"
Advertising can be done without arbitrary code execution. Magazines, broadcast TV, radio, podcasts, movie theaters, billboards, news papers, etc. all manage to do it without that. Spotify already has a way to deliver audio and video to the machine, nothing else is required, and if they used that existing avenue, blockers couldn't stop it.
Very interesting piece on the significance and impact of science to future and present science fiction writers and creators.
My time searching for and discovery albums is invaluable to me. Spotify removes that satisfaction.
Trust is very important for us. Can we trust to Dropbox or others, if your data is not encrypted, before uploaded? I think no. This is why, we open source our client on GitHub, so as you can see, no any updates, except README file. https://github.com/savefileme/savefileme/blob/master/api/acc... The function UploadFile use aesgcm.NewEncryptReader for data encryption.

This is fully anonymous service and free for use without any registration, so no any payment options on the site, we do not collect your personal information at all. Payment option is available when you simply try to upload your first file. Than, our payment provider collects your personal information and sends you invoice, with all legal information, and physical address too.

As for account creation process, we wanted to make it as simple as possible. You can extract you credentials with command savefileme account export for backup. The client reminds you about that.

And little bit about guarantees... No service gives 100% guarantee. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically test your backups, regardless of whether you are using BackBlaze or No Name.

The act of perception directly implies that some self-aware entity is perceiving. For instance the camera is capturing the image, but you can't say "this camera is perceiving" We rather say "this camera is taking picture"
Agree 100%. It's obviously not possible to dictate what people do with privately funded science, but it's ludicrous that publicly funded research isn't always open-access.

"Data" to me is the least complex input from a human, whereas "code" is more complex and necessitates a lot more work to make sure it's correct and bug-free.

If you embed "code" in "data", you made your thing way more complex and subject to software design patterns. But in software operation, we already have to contend with highly complex systems, so we want to remove as much time and effort and complexity as possible from the instrumentation.

To put it another way: if you had to run a nuclear reactor, do you want to instrument it by constantly writing new code, or turning a dial? I'd rather turn a dial. That means I have to develop the code for that dial ahead of time, but in the end, actually using it will be safer.
Came here to mention this one :)

I particularly love it because so much of the library was forbidden knowledge guarded by a religious sect... those words almost always mean a good read is ahead :P

Umberto Eco has said he came up with the idea of the library (and some spoiler-related things) before coming up with any of the characters or premise.
I doubt that the apple watch will be able to do this reliably.

But if someone is interested (speak investment interested) in non-invasive blood glucose measurement feel free to inquire. Peer reviewed publications available.
I've struggled with my weight my entire adult life. Ups and downs, diets and exercise. In the last six months I think I finally found a method that works for me and can be maintained indefinitely. (I'm down about 60 pounds now.)

To start with, I ceased trying to control my eating. I could do it for quite awhile, but eventually I'd get sick or something would happen and I'd fall off the wagon. Studies on the subject say that caloric restriction doesn't work in the long-term. Instead I just altered my diet. I can eat whatever I want, as long as 80% of what I eat is vegetables (corn and potatoes are excluded from "vegetables" as they are extremely starchy.) My breakfast is frequently two scrambled eggs and a gallon zip-loc baggy fully of peppers, onions and mushrooms. Try to avoid carbs, but don't kill yourself doing so. Sometimes I'll have oatmeal for breakfast instead (with a bunch of veg.) For some godawful reason, "Dietary Fiber" is put under the umbrella of carbs. They don't count because your body can't digest them. Subtract the amount of fiber from the carb count. That's the number you should care about. When in doubt, consult a diabetic website, those folks are magicians at avoiding carbs. Not all carbs are equal, refined sugar and fructose are the worst, so avoid them like the plague.

I exercise every day. I enjoy playing video games, so I got a recumbent exercise bike and I only play video games while exercising. It took me awhile to build up stamina, but now I'll do an hour in the morning before work, and an hour after work. If I'm sick or not feeling well, I get on the bike anyway, and when I feel like I'm suffering, I stop. Make it a habit. As long as I only play video games while exercising, I stopped budgeting for video games. I simply buy whatever I want because now it's a health expense.

I prioritize sleep above all else. Above work, above relationships. Sleep first. If you have insurance, get a sleep study done and see if you can improve your sleep further. Studies suggest that sleep is a more important factor than what you eat, even.

I try to lift weights two or three times a week. I spent a long time overthinking weight lifting. Programs and styles and such. Find something heavy and move it around until you're tired. You don't need to be Mr. Universe, just strain your muscles a bit.

Finally, forgive yourself for fucking up, because you will fuck up. Don't beat yourself up for it. Guilt held me back for a long time.
I am on a paid account and I use ad blockers religiously. Will Spotify still terminate my account?!
Personally, I am not paying for it because it's not officially available in my country for whatever reason. I realize there's rights issues etc., but if someone won't take my money, I feel no guilt whatsoever doing whatever I want with their product.
> I think you really just don't care that much about using spotify

I think anybody that can say they "care a lot" about using Spotify pays for a subscription.
> You answer yourself:

No, I meant, where is the standard issued by the Kultusministerkonferenz, like there is for Standard German spelling? A convention is not a standard.

> Do you have a recording of that?

I'd say it kind of like the Swiss German speaker here: https://forvo.com/word/und/#gsw

And coming back to the original Rat/Rad distinction, https://forvo.com/word/rat/#de and https://forvo.com/word/rad/#de do sound different. The second "Rad" speaker (from southern Germany) makes almost no 'd' or 't' sound at all, but the same speaker pronounces "Rat" with a very hard and clear 't'.
Well... It is pretty often framed as blaming the publishers?
>The bill embraces the principle of a single standard of care for all Americans. It will not allow participating institutions and providers to offer private care for covered services to the rich. Allowing the wealthy to "buy out" of the system has led to the erosion of care for everyone else in countries, such as Australia, who have experimented with it. The new House bill will also include substantial new language to begin to remedy healthcare disparities and expand service to underserved communities.

Mother, should I trust the government?
My friend is T1 and uses a Dexcom as well, it seems like a way better solution. He recently got a diabetic alert dog too which seemed to give him a lot more piece of mind, although I realize that's a pretty expensive route and not for everyone.
For some people money isn't that important or the end all of everything. So we get articles like this with "shocking" behaviors of people who "could be rich but don't do X." It's an interesting commentary on our society.
> Putting the defers on the stack is also part of how the runtime unwinds the stack during a panic.

All exception ABIs on all major platforms can do this without any overhead in the no-exception case. The compiler embeds static metadata (in a subset of DWARF, on Linux) alongside the function, and the unwinder parses that metadata in order to determine which destructors to invoke.
What is Twitter other than a way for celebrities and consumer brands to advertise to their customers? I suppose with paid-for follows and retweets from click farms, you can position yourself as an 'influencer' and get a gig pitching slim tea, or testosterone gel or something out of a late night TV infomercial.

The whole thing feels highly commercialized and yet, at the same time, very gauche, like stepping into a neighbourhood where the only stores sell payday loans, bail bonds and liquor. I follow ~12-15 people in my industry who are knowledgeable about stuff, but honestly, that makes Twitter extremely boring.

I'm starting to realize that the drama and beefs (often manufactured) is what keeps ordinary people coming to a medium where they aren't even the intended customer.
What if Spotify ran the ads from their own servers as to not give advertisers free reign on your data?

I mean in the seventies and eighties there was a lot of racism against Spaniards and Italians. Nowadays this is gone. They are allowed to be proud of their heritage.

We also had a lot of highly educated migrants from Yugoslavia back in the seventies and they were appreciated back then. But after the Balkan wars they were suddenly the bad guys despite some of them being perfectly integrated in our society and sometimes being the third generation to live here.

It's funny how fast the perception shifts and how quickly we are to judge on the prejudices we have of a group of people and not on the individual.
Plant based diet can reverse diabetes ( I and II ).
For type I milk products need to be stopped.
Take 1% of your bodyweight as fruits.
Take 1 % of your body weight as Raw ( uncooked ) vegetables.
Take 10% of that vegetable quota as green leafy vegetables.
Based on China Study by Colin Campbell.

e.g. weight 150 pounds
1.5 pounds fruits before 1 pm
1.5 pounds raw vegetables for the day
If you are still hungry you can eat cooked food after completing daily raw fruits vegetable quota.
Avoid all animal,milk,processed packaged products and heated oils.
Will reverse diabetes in 3 days for newly detected patients.
Add 1 day for each year you have diabetes

No because you're paying them more than ads generate
> People are using ad blockers not just to hide annoyances and to improve performance, but to protect themselves from bad actors.

We are talking about people who use ad-blockers to get a “premium” experience while using free, unpaid accounts.

Basically leeches undermining everyone else.

I see no issue with Spotify terminating these accounts. Even as someone using an ad-blocker. Because I pay for the freaking service I use.

I'm having trouble parsing the quote, I think by 'Anglo-Saxon' he really means 'England and the US', and it's not really clear that England the US have true "power and control" over Europe. Instead what we see is a Europe dominated by England and Germany with large military influence by US.
I don't know about lacking ANY idea, but plenty of examples of individuals with an idea that most thought wasn't GOOD at the time.

In which case it should be regulation on the Ad industry, not necessarily regulation of data - because that's not getting at the core incentives. The data gathering is a symptom of the Ad market.

If you don't address the Ad market incentives, they will simply find another vector to getting to you. Noam Chomsky has been very loud about this for a long time, well before data gathering was a thing. So it's a long term persistent virus, of which the internet is currently the vector.

Have you pirated in a while? Things like popcorntime make it trivial for even elderly people like my folks to check out new movies and shows. No longer are the days where you have to download the entire movie and hope it was a good copy you just click play and they start a progressive download from the beginnin and you can stream it within seconds. If it is a bad copy stop it and move on. I keep thinking about joining these services because it is nice to pay I believe people should get paid, but what Spotify is now doing is user hostile and now I am no longer considering joining. I use Adblock. I can not see how this will work for them. People surely will backlash.
Diabetes is becoming more and more common, especially in the US. It also could be used for monitoring healthy people so they don’t fall into T2 diabetes.

Last week I read about this in "Fermat's Last Theorem":

While the fascinating thing about Penrose’s tiled surfaces is their restricted symmetry, the interesting property of modular forms is that they exhibit infinite symmetry. The modular forms studied by Taniyama and Shimura can be shifted, switched, swapped, reflected and rotated in an infinite number of ways and still they remain unchanged, making them the most symmetrical of mathematical objects. When the French polymath Henri Poincaré studied modular forms in the nineteenth century, he had great difficulty coming to terms with their immense symmetry.

(Fermat's Last Theorem was ultimately proven by proving the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture)
