I would in a heartbeat if it means more take-home pay and/or never having to think about which providers are "in network" again.
I’m just concerned as a paying customer. I blanket block all known ads and tracking scripts network wide via pihole. Are they going to ban me too because their precious tracking is blocked and their automated system thinks I’m the same as a free user blocking it? Solution that’s less hostile would be to just axe free accounts altogether.
It's not "terrible." It's fine if you just basically want background playlists and don't want to pay for a premium service (from Apple, Google, Amazon, Spotify, etc.). But I agree that Amazon Prime Music isn't really a competitor to Spotify in the sense of using it to search for and play specific music.
The more interesting side of it IMO, is this situation has all the markings of Capitalism actually working well. Housing is a scarce and expensive resource in Manhattan that people are willing to a pay a lot for, and a factory will likely function just as well if moved a few miles away where land is cheaper. If she sells it everyone is better off, and she makes a ton of money.

Yet just because there is personal sacrifice involved lots of people seem to be applauding her for not selling.

Edit: Anyone care to explain why if you're downvoting? I'm genuinely curious why people seem to think this is such a bad way to think about it.

How We Designed Our Front-End Engineer Hiring Process
It's a pretty poorly written article to be honest. I don't see how the author clubs in "authoritative" parenting style under "helicopter parenting" because it is pretty much the opposite.

From the article:

> The most effective parents, according to the authors, are “authoritative.” They use reasoning to persuade kids to do things that are good for them. Instead of strict obedience, they emphasize adaptability, problem-solving and independence — skills that will help their offspring in future workplaces that we can’t even imagine yet.

That's hardly helicoptering. That's just positive parenting that isn't completely hands-off.

Yes, the missing context here is the idea that UBI will be financed by cutting existing social services.
4. Don't pay for the service and block the ads :)

That said... Go with #3 everyone. Spotify is horrible for artists.
Must agree with you here (even though I do like me some Lana del Rey). Majority of Bandcamp music in my collection is retro/synth/new wave, and some "drone" which is nice to have on as white noise while working.
I still see some big issues with universal basic income, and would appreciate one of its supporters responding to some of them:

Cost. $3.8 trillion by many estimates. That's nearly 20% of America's GDP. How is it possible to pull this much money out of the American economy without crashing it?

Scope. I am of the opinion that one of the beauties of federalism is that policies can be tested first at the state level before we commit our entire nation. Why would a national government do this?

Necessity. I don't think we need to be paying anyone who makes over 50k (maybe not the right number, but there should be a cutoff). That just takes money away from those who need it.

If a supporter of UBI can respond, I'd like to discuss possible concerns and benefits.
It's a good point too that taking insulin is associated with greater risk of obesity and further worsening of T2D in the long term. So dietary interventions (which are experiencing great success -- both Virta and also the work of Dr. Jason Fung et co at Intensive Dietary Management) -- often produce much better outcomes for type two than insulin (naturally no one should go off insulin without being under the guidance of a doctor of course)
> The Finnish trial was a bit different, as it focused on people who were unemployed

I think UBI would help people who are already employed in jobs that they hate, to find/invent meaningful jobs. A lot of employed people are miserable but just surviving doing things that they hate (because that's the only thing that pays and so are chained to their misery).

I think real UBI would create strong bottom up economies and get rid of value extractors, intermediaries and schemers. It would also help people move out of big cities back to rural areas where things are not so expensive
Yes, as it lowers marginal tax rates. Currently with welfare, you have a very high marginal tax rate. You earn an additional $20,000 say, but lose the $10,000 you had with welfare. 50% marginal tax rate. Even higher if there's some actual tax on that $20,000.

If there was basic income where you still kept the $10,000, you would have a 0% marginal rate.

It's not clear how the finns designed their system. But Milton Friedman was actually for a form of basic income instead of social support, for this reason.
teaching other diabetics to be so preoccupied is dangerous to them because it increases the temptation to give up on the daily routines

^^ Sorry, this makes no sense at all. Maintaining a routine is one way to express a preoccupation with diabetes management!
> hyper-involved parenting is the route to kids’ success in today’s unequal world

joining the hitler youth was once a route to kids' success too. succeeding in conforming to social trends is not the same as preparing for long term success. helicopter babies are screwed once their parents are gone and their money runs out.
Yeah there's nothing really wrong with "helicopter parenting" if you define it that way. "Structured time", is basically what school is. It's just that instead of 20-to-1, it's likely up to 3-to-1, so you're very likely to be better at it...
Trump only does what benefits Trump. Trump will sign what bills benefit Trump to sign.

If congress can put a healthcare bill in front of Trump that can be branded as "medicare for all" for one audience and "we repealed Obamacare" for another audience (the possibility of the latter branding being a necessity in order to get any Republicans in congress to vote in favor of the bill) then Trump will almost certainly sign it. It doesn't actually have to provide "medicare for all" or "repeal Obamacare". It just has to look enough like it does to pass it off that way to the American public. He just wants to be able to say "look everyone, I repealed Obamacare" whether or not it's technically true.

The "which news is fake news" circus and people's increased skepticism of what they read and see on the news should make the latter part much easier because it gives Republicans more wiggle room to vote for something that looks a lot like Obamacare 2.0 or "medicare for all" and then turn around and act like they repealed Obamacare in front of their base in 2020.

I for one am hopeful. This seems like a potential win for everyone (well, scummy insurance companies notwithstanding).
I'm really thankful I haven't yet had a job where all I'm developing is new ways to force people to see ads. Imagine working on a 'feature' like this for weeks or months, and the end result is simply that people who don't want to see ads now have to see ads.

Your pre-spotify music budget was less than $10 per month? Pre-streaming music I was definitely buying more than one CD per month, to my recollection those were about $10-15.
1. Having parents will always help you end up more successful than not having them. And since a large percentage of people don’t then of course helicopter parenting is better than average.

2. It may help you get into harvard but you may also end up depressed or helpless etc. see that a lot in the valley. kids with tiger parents that are successful but want to kill them selves
I am all about Youtube premium. Replaced my spotify with it and I love it. Ad free youtube, my own mp3s along with the google music catalog is great. They even grandfather people in on the original price that they subbed for when the service price increased.

I mean: there are a few things you need to do each day to manage diabetes. These are important. What you don’t need to do is worry about it between those times. If you convince someone they need to do too much to manage the disease, they’re more likely to give up on the whole thing.

Feels like a bad idea to me. Why not just tax the hell out of the private treatment to make sure the public treatments stay funded?

I guess the concern is similar to the public vs private school situation, where some areas have bad public schools because everyone with any money chooses a private school and has no incentive to fund the public system.

Still I find the idea of government-only medicine to be scary. In the past we've had politicians who have decided that things like abortion, stem-cell therapy, and medical marijuana were all moral evils. I am glad people had private options to get those things.
Exactly ! I've done that for years (and for the email alias part, well, at least the last 15 years), and it's a relief.

Back at the beginning of the 2000's, I use to get hundreds of spams. So I decided to use an alias of a special mail on my own domain name for each new site I register to.

I used alias for not having to configure a new account on my mail client.

And then it's super easy to shame whoever sold your email.

Best anecdote I have ? An antivirus / antispam brand. I registered as reseller with an alias.

Less than a week later, I started receiving unsolicited mail on the alias.

I asked them why it happened, but never received anything more convincing than "Mmmm, don't know, let me check".

Of course I explained them I won't be buying their product anymore for my clients, and destroyed the alias.
The only difference the article mentions is that the experimental subjects were chosen among people getting unemployment benefits. What this suggests is that if you're on unemployment to begin with, differential incentives do not have a detectable impact on whether you'll find a job - that's all. It's saying that incentives aren't everything, at least on a 2-years-out scale.
In regards to GPDR, it seems unreasonable that a company should have to attempt to determine which country or region applicable laws would apply to a instance and interaction of its users.

I wonder the legality of saying somewhere in the terms and services if you have a statement like "by using an account, you agree that you are in the US, and all interactions with this site will be governed by the applicable laws of this country" (forgive my primitive legalese.)

because at the moment having EUs compliance to work with is once thing, but say in 10 years when every other country (or collective) starts to pass their own, it will be a nightmare to navigate.

It seems to have the potential, of how insurance companies in the US have to have large compliance departments whose sole purpose is to try to insure the company is in compliance with every market they are doing business in.
I've pretty much always paid for Spotify, and from what I can remember when they first started all of their ads were "radio" ads. How were they using IE to display their ads? Did they introduce pop-ups?
Ads only make up ~10% of Spotify's revenue. If they start putting ads on the paid version everyone will just leave for one of the competing ad-free services (Amazon, Apple, Google). I'm sure you're right about the tracking though.

That's pretty much the same as my understanding of helicopter parents, parents who will do anything to help their child, and prevent them from learning how to deal with problems/overcome disparity/etc.

Though I would like to see a follow up study in 30 or so years and see how the different parenting styles end up affecting their kid's children/long term happiness.

What qualifies as adblocking? Would connecting to the WiFi of someone using PiHole constitute adblocking and get you account banned?
Their customer bases aren't distinct streams. They want existing users to upgrade to a premium version. They're not going to be helped by banning those that are already in their system and a click away from an upgrade. Or, like myself, someone who tested out other similar systems and then decided to upgrade again. Does trying to use my account on a system with an adblocker (that I may not know about) warrant a ban?
Can anyone shed some light on why this can only help type 2 and not type 1 diabetics?
We use Intercom for support and push SQL's into Pipedrive. It works great. It keeps Pipedrive clean and our Sales people focused on real opportunities. We use Intercom a lot for its "segments", and do a lot of personal mail from there. For example, we hosted a drink-up in Copenhagen one day and was able to quickly shoot an email to all customers living there in about 2 minutes. I used a filter to identify who hasn't used the app in a while, remembered their names, and inquired when I met them. I dig it for that.
That's not what's happening though; it's the providers who have to pick one or the other, not the public. Again, this sounds a lot like the UK system, where employer insurance exists but is genuinely a perk rather than something you need to survive.
You are comparing frameworks with a language here.

I think that if they choose to use a high-quality, modern php framework like Symfony, the technical decision would still make sense in the context of the alternatives you mentioned.

I disagree.

The problem is that we are convinced that any experience or object can be defined within language.

The truth is that somethings are undefinable. And as soon as you attempt to define it, label it, you have already lost it.
> Why? Not all of evolution is adaptive.

Because a) humans have been wildly successful, and b) the fact that our brain is inordinately expensive, so if a new class of non-conscious humans that were equally adept as conscious ones ever arose, they would easily outcompete us for resources. Given our numbers, presumably such non-conscious people would already exist. If so, where are they?

> It's also possible that consciousness is something more fundamental that strongly emerges when the right sort of physical activity takes place.

Depends what you mean by "more fundamental". All of our behaviour emerges when the right sort of physical activity takes place. Our entire brain is filled with "rich information processing", so that's an insufficient qualifier.

Is that really your problem?

Even if coffee doesn't cost $5, and it costs $2.50, that's 4 coffees.

Or even $1 coffee, that's 10 coffees.

Unlimited music streaming for a month is absolutely worth 10 coffees.

The coffee example is brought up because _most_ people that claim that $120/year is a lot for them, spend a lot more than that a year on coffee.

That's not to say $10/month is trivial. I'm sure it's not a trivial amount of money for some people. The parent isn't denying that. They're saying that they're happy that Spotify is banning people that are trying to have their cake and eat it too. They're blaming people that CAN afford 1,2,5,10 coffees a month, and still chose ads or worse, adblockers for a service they can easily pay for as the demise of the internet. Which I wholeheartedly agree with.
Well this would have to be a special kind of bread where the inventory amount does not change when a loaf is consumed.

Bear in mind, this loaf can also only be eaten inside of the grocery store. You cannot leave the store with the bread, because it is welded to the infrastructure of the grocery.

Not paying for a gym membership would be a better example. You're using up available capacity without giving the gym a way to monetize your presence there.

Maybe the government should treat healthcare like it does student loans. A healthy, educated person is more likely to make more money, and pay more in taxes. So, its more of an investment then a handout. Money flow wise, it makes more sense for government to pay the healthcare for a working adult then a retired one. And they already pay for > 65 year olds and offer student loans to any student.
What does this mean: "Sometimes we need to acknowledge that our brain can cause us to do things we don't want to"?

Surely you mean "sometimes we do things we don't want to be doing"? Blaming it on your mind is rather strange. Your mind is part of you.
My thoughts exactly. It's nice to see and probably very satisfying for the creator. I can also imagine using this in some circumstances especially during presentations or teaching.

For my daily work, one obvious problem is that I can't see exactly what changed between revision n and n+1. That's what really makes diffs + commit messages useful. With the slick animation, I know where it changed but the information on what exactly was modified is lost and with it, most of the reasons why I use git diff at all.

“The government” is ours and our responsibility to maintain.

You appear to be assuming everybody wants to abandon that responsibility as much as you do. Wake up!

It didn’t have to get this bad, and it won’t get better by sitting around and talking this nonsense.

About thinking Fast and Slow, people might want to know that the author has pretty much admitted to major flaws in his research. https://retractionwatch.com/2017/02/20/placed-much-faith-und...

While his admission concerns mostly the theory of priming, the problem is not specific but a methodological error. In my view all his research should be looked at with suspicion and with a view to have his experiments replicated independently sooner rather than later. This has been a problem throughout social psychology and other branches of science, so nothing specific to Kahneman, he's just the best known. Which brings up the next thought, which is I always look at information from the epistemic point of view: where does this knowledge come from: rational thought, experiment, experience, faith? I just notice, without judgement, how eager some of the posters here are to accept a theory or a philosophy even when it has already been debunked, or the evidence is flimsy, or maybe it's formulated in ways that are not even "debunkable". And there is a pragmatic view that if it feels right and it helps, why not.
Yeah, and the bots don't need to set the location to Russia either. In fact, doing so would pretty transparently work against the alleged goals of Russian bot activity on Twitter - if you self-identify as Russian, then you're not posing as an American. I would assume Twitter has separate heuristics for different types of "bots" and flagged it to help make it "clear" to other users that my account was actually a "Russian bot." I don't know.

But again, I don't see the point in taking over an account (please name these other ways of taking one over) and then doing absolutely nothing with it except changing the location. If I'm going to take over aged accounts, why wouldn't I do something with it? How did Twitter identify that the account was hacked, then? Why did they deny my appeal? Why didn't they just ask me to change my password?
Why are other people entitled to live there?
They would not get as much telemetry, they also want all the data, it's not just the showing of an ad, it'c collecting everything the internet knows about the user and their pc. The problem is the tracking, collecting and resale of personal data. NOT simply viewing an ad! Ya dig?
The VA business is interesting, because the right clearly does support the spending of almost unlimited amounts of money on defence, where presumably this is "efficient", but not on healthcare for the troops. I'm surprised nobody's suggested that soldiers should have to buy their own battlefield health insurance and choose from a selection of medevac providers yet.

I think that single payer will more efficiently allocate resources than the current system. I think this based on the fact that the countries that have single payer healthcare manage to produce the same or better health outcomes for a fraction of the cost of the us.

Part if the issue is that the incentives in the US today encourage the poorest people to get health care at the most expensive places (emergency rooms), as well as the insane amount of wasted effort coordinating insurance providers, billing people, verifying copay amounts etc.
It's almost as if people have different tastes and consumption profiles.
