I agree. I always read these horror stories about windows, specifically win10, and I have just had a completely different experience. On personal machines, work machines, servers, large deployments, domain controlled and not ... I’ve just never had these problems.

I think the main competition will be Amazon Music as I already have access to it due to my Prime account.

I have a Spotify subscription because Amazon Music didn't used to exist and now I am used to Spotify, but if I'm paying for Amazon Prime anyway then why not make the switch?
The control group also got money. Just via more paperwork. UBI for Finland is more about reducing bureaucracy and social security errors.
It seems more like almost the opposite of the expected goal.

My main sympathy for a basic income is that "get people into jobs" so often comes up as an argument against all kinds of progressive changes (environment, shutting down harmful industries, automating bad jobs away, ...).

The goal of a basic income should be to let people without a job live a more fulfilling life.
> According to the FCO, Facebook had 32 million monthly active users in Germany at the end of last year, amounting to a market share of more than 80 percent.

I am not sure I understand: that’s Facebook penetration Facebook accounts/adult digital population), not their market share - which would be Facebook accounts/(sum of accounts of all social media, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, ...Spotify)

> The regulator argues this dominance gives it jurisdiction to oversee the company’s data collection practices.

...and why only the data collection practices? Why would the other parts of the T&C of Facebook be not subject to it? Why should consumers not be forced to accept just the data collection practices of the T&C? Shouldn’t the German antitrust then, logically, prevent Facebook from enforcing their entire T&C? So, large companies now cannot have T&C enforced even when they do not cause economic damage to the market? Is there an economic gain for a person to join Facebook? My friend does not have a Facebook account, I don't think she is poorer because of it. ...because if there is no economic harm, I don’t see why the antitrust office would have jurisdiction.
Maybe the gain/harm is not economic, maybe the gain from a Facebook account is not economic, it’s “social”. Well isn’t then the “social” gain greater when Facebook offers a unified experience (across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsUp)? How does the antitrust office action make any sense?
What am I missing?

This would cause friction and they would lose users, which would piss off investors. This isn't a technical issue.
The selling point of BC for me is the sense of community. You can see reviews of releases from other fans, and you cannot post a review unless you've paid up, which eliminates 99% of trolls/shit-stirrers.

It definitely helps that BC is focused on independent artists and doesn't seem interested in pushing grand visions of a global musical monoculture in the way Spotify does (those pretentious Year in Music retrospectives, Drake, "chill beats playlist", Lana del Rey etc).
What IDE do people use for PHP these days? Editing PHP in a standard text editor is a pain because most don't supporet "Go to definition", or "Find all refernences" (Two killer features of Visual Studio)
I always have a really hard time relating to where this incredibly negative sentiment about people comes from. It seems like people look at times when other people are "lazy" and extrapolate it to all of humanity, but I think the perception of "lazy" in this context is just what it looks like when a person hates the work they're forced to do and/or is suffering and unhappy due to financial trouble. I feel like most people who seem to lay around doing nothing are doing so in the small time they have where they are not being psychologically and physically exhausted by their job, so it doesn't make sense to assume that's what they want to do.

It reminds me of the scene in Battlefield Earth where the aliens with a superiority complex release starving humans into an abandoned building and they eat the first thing they see - a rat. Aha, man's favorite food must be rats!
Opaque product details, pricing, etc, is often done on purpose. Airlines, for example, are pretty notorious for that.
It's obviously not as comprehensive as compiled or strictly-typed languages, but you can use "php -l" as a linter to catch obvious parsing/syntax bugs. I use this script to check our whole codebase before deployment:

> find . -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -P8 php -l | grep -v "No syntax errors detected"
PHP has a terrible track record for security.
Right; I suspect a raft or any other flat bottomed boat would be fine.

Never a central tenet, but I've seen/heard some conjecture around UBI that it would help lift people out of the poverty trap, and this could help them find a path to fulfillment that for many might lead to a fulfilling job/career that's done as much for passion as profit.

It's not something I've heard strongly voiced or considered, certainly surprised to see it defined as the aim of UBI as this article puts it. But then again there's a million definitions of UBI out there right now.
Let's hope so. The article cites Lynn Kamerlin, a vocal critic of the plan of many European funders to force a transition to Open Access. She authored an oft-cited petition against that plan [1]. Although it has many signatories, the opposite petition [2] that was initiated later managed to surpass it. That gives hope :)

It feels, for some-odd reason that us audio people have to justify our purchasing decisions and desire for quality and fidelity way more than people who spend hundreds of dollars on 21 inch 144hz monitors and care about things like frame rate and texture resolution do.

Or maybe not, but it's a feeling.
So, at some point, someone guessed a complex password I used nowhere else, logged into my Twitter account with it, changed the location, and then did....nothing, because they wanted to one day use the account for something. And Twitter somehow figured all this out, determined the account would one day be used for nefarious ends, and suspended the account because...the location changed? Why? Even if the account was hacked (which I see no evidence for), your contention is that what, Twitter suspended my account for logging in from a new IP, but not until after a successful login and profile change?

I'm sorry, it seems a whole lot more likely Twitter used some heuristic to assume the account was a bot, set the location as a marker, and suspended it.
I agree. But a tablet is only possible because you can't tinker with it( hardware limitations, how would you fit connectors etc in it?). The software side of things could be better but you also have to keep in mind that an RPi makes both hardware and software tinkering on a very cheap package. Tinkering with software on an old PC was possible but tinkering with hardware would risk a fairly expensive machine.
Exactly, this is a non-technical issue.
This seems like the best way of describing it.
Not just Amazon customers, but WaPo customers. Every story in that paper with the slightest relation to national security or military spending is vetted and approved by the TLAs. It is exceedingly unlikely that these same TLAs targeted their good friend Jeff Bezos for this sort of abuse. If it hadn't been "dick-pics" [always a good idea, by the way...] but something less salacious we could possibly see it as some sort of convoluted "false flag" op. But Bezos is the good friend of these people. There is no way they would do this to him. If an underling did it without the permission of the top brass, that underling will be destroyed.

As observed elsewhere, Ms. Sanchez's phone could have been accessed by any number of parties. It certainly wasn't "inside the firewall". So it could have been the Saudis, and those murderers have incentives to embarrass Bezos. It could have been the Russians. It could have been Amazon short-sellers. It could have been Wal-Mart. It could have been the proverbial fat guy in his mom's basement. At least Guccifer 2.0 hasn't come up.

Pecker is a moron though. How could Bezos possibly respond to this in any other way than what we see here? Trump seems to surround himself with morons.
This. When I lost my job in 2013, I considered making an attempt at a freelance/contract career. That stopped when I got a rejection letter (not an increase in price, a full-stop rejection) from my preferred open market insurance provider. (And it was for being too skinny.)

It doesn't exactly feel like fear. I'd say it's more like the goal is so far that you give up even before trying / push it back forever / procrastinate. For ex "I'm going to learn how to do security research / do bug bounties / write exploits" and never do much. It is fear based tho. I'd say it's fear of wasting time and not getting anywhere.

This is, of course, not a problem with “people”, but it is a problem with people in our current capitalist society.

Capitalism inspires culture. The abstraction Marx provided for this is the base/superstructure spiral. It is simple and, well, abstract, but it is abstract to a degree that it remains applicable through the ages and more detailed conceptions map onto it, like critical theory and the like. Even post-structural critique really fail to counter Marx on this.

I think Frederic Jameson succinctly described the experience of spiraling inevitabilities to result from capitalist/commercial culture with this phrase:

All that is solid melts into air.
Well, to nobody when it's written that way.

But if it was "HOT NEW SCANDAL! You'll NEVER believe who's getting a divorce!!!! Cha-ching!" then I'm sure a lot more people would call it a scandal and be inclined to read about it. Clickbait-y titles have been a thing for a long time, and AMI's (as well as basically all other gossipy) magazines use them practically every issue to try and get you to buy it.
Meanwhile, all the ads I get are for Spotify Premium! The same ones over and over again. I wouldn't mind some variety. My Spotify account is even linked to my Facebook with all the ad targeting opportunities that entails.

I definitely won't get the only product they advertise to me. I already have Google Play Music, and just use(d) Spotify occasionally for discovery and when people link to playlists.

I suppose nobody is advertising to Australia then.

Ridiculous! This is about ideals, and principals, and getting a nice service for free!
I see a lot of comments asking what a fear of learning something new is. I interpret is as the fear of appearing stupid when trying to learn something new. This means, that one doesn't ask questions, doesn't take big steps in the presence of other people, the fear of failing at this new learning experience. The fear of appearing incompetent at something that one "should" already know.
Digisexuality is stepping out of the closet. Keep an open mind
I'm one of those that are complaining, but at the same time I pay for Spotify, Netflix and HBO GO, and I didn't pirate almost anything for years. It's not about the cost, it's about their obsession with control. If they can't provide free service without privacy intrusion (monitoring what you do with the data they send to your network) they shouldn't provide a free service at all.
The article acts as though UBI should have caused people to get more jobs, and is a failure because they didn't.
I get where they are coming from, but I've never seen this kind of strategy work. If someone wants to keep listening to their songs for free they will find a way to do it, possibly with a different vendor.

There's also the possibility this is just talk to keep the advertisers happy.

I also have a needle aversion. A couple things that helped me.

1) Playing the guitar helped me build calluses big enough that I can't feel my finger tips anymore on my left hand.

2) I like to put an ice cube on the skin about an inch away from where I give himself a shot in my stomach. For me my brain really focused on the cold sensation from the ice and I notice the needle much less. It's nice too because the ice melts a little and I can use that water on the skin to wipe away any blood that drip out after the injection.
PhpStorm I'd say [https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm]
I am type 1.5 and disagree with both parts of your post. While learning to use them routinely only takes a few days, needles and lancets do bother people for anxiety reasons, but also for physiological reasons. Lancet areas develop callouses, can have blood flow issues and in more advanced stages of diabetics can risk infections/damage. Injection sites go bad over time or appear to; right now I am dealing with an issue where I think some of my preferred injection sites are becoming less effective, but I can’t really tell, which is preoccupying. I don’t think research into alleviating the need to use needles and lancets is getting anything wrong just because it solves a need not every diabetic has.

Secondly, I think your description of diabetes is overblown. If you’re checking BGL frequently with a CGM, then you have a good understanding of what will happen in routine situations. If you’re not, you aren’t going to sweat 30 minutes in the car or the delta between the carbs from dinner plus toast and physical activity (I do like the humble-brag here, though!) because you don’t know what’s going on anyway. Hypoglycemia has the advantage of being treated with glucose tablets, which don’t spoil and can be stashed everywhere. Moderate activity and water intake are important but not going to swing your BGL wildly like a bottle of soda or an intense workout.

This disease can be a hypochondriac’s dream and I think that teaching other diabetics to be so preoccupied is dangerous to them because it increases the temptation to give up on the daily routines that actually make a difference.
BC lets users stream every track at least a couple of times before asking you to pay. This 'free plays limit' resets after a few days, so theoretically, you wouldn't have to pay to hear it ever. I like the reminder because I'm more willing to support independent artists, and if I get the prompt for a song I like, why not pay $5-8 or whatever to have it in my collection?
That's a valid reason. I don't think that most people have the same view, and after people experience Spotify playlists like Discovery, it's hard to go back to the old way of finding music.

I've always been a fan of JetBrains' IDEs (Webstorm, Pycharm), so I would imagine that their PhpStorm is similarly excellent. (Each of the ones I mentioned are language-specific subsets of IntelliJ.)

I don't think that myth would work out although it is a common one. Namely it would show up on a tox screen in some way presumably. Since that is usually how poisonings are found - granted they would need to do an autopsy in the first place.
Nice job. Looks like "untapped.com" may have some issues at the moment though.
It’s debatable because we just don’t know when the surrender would have taken place in the absense of the bombings. We can look at statements by leaders on what they would have done under the hypothetical of them not occurring but we still wouldn’t know what would have happened if they didn’t occur. Perhaps one nuke was not enough to induce surrender. When the second occurs maybe it’s enough to induce. Maybe they were arguing amongst themselves on how to surrender with honor or some other nitpick but then the nukes quickly ended any internal discussions. Post facto the leaders can say this or that but we’ll never really know what they would have done if bombings didn’t occur.

There is moral ambiguity on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For one, you view the actions with the benefit of hindsight and with the moral views of a different era. So in your mind you can say they were definitely moral crimes but you can’t objectively demonstrate this in the sense of convincing most people that you are right.

Was the bombing of Dresden racially motivated? I’ve never thought it so. There were certain racial views against the Japanese but that doesn’t make the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima racially motivated. Was the Tokyo fire raid racially motivated? What about the invasions of Okinawa and Iwo Jima? We could have blockaded Japan and possibly forced their surrender. Of course that wouldn’t have stopped the 2 million or so Japanese soldiers in China from doing their fighting.

Yes, McNamara said that. Was he right? I don’t think so. The Germans and the Japanese had no need for trials of conquered leaders. They just killed them. It’s interesting to think about the what ifs and claim this action was unnecessary or that action was morally criminal. We’ll disagree on the efficacy of the nuclear attacks. My previous post was mostly to point out that the bombings weren’t meant to serve tactical military considerations. That the bombings were political and hence it’s perfectly reasonable that the military leaders would consider them militarily useless even if they weren’t useless in the broader political context. Military leaders don’t always get it right. McArthur famously wanted to nuke China like 50 times during the Korean War.

Contrary to popular belief, ads can be delivered without arbitrary code execution. The Spotify app already has the ability to deliver audio and video, that's all they need. The mistake here is letting third-parties onto users devices. It's a disgusting industry-wide practice that needs to stop. Using the existing audio/video delivery system would render "ad blockers" useless. "thrid-party blockers" would still work as intended though.
Well I can't even say "I told you so" yet.

"its effects were substantially interchangeable with the bomb"

Yes, its military effects. (And humanitarian effects.)

But no, in political effect. If "war is politics carried on by other means" and the goal was to defeat Japanese Fascism, then you had to make sure it couldn't come back from the dead after a grudging surrender. That was IMHO the main lesson of Versailles. And it worked.
I imagine there’s an implied “with them as the winners” on the end.

I never exercised before I turned 31. I also got fat after I turned 30. Not obese, but 20 lbs north of normal bmi range.

I quickly turned around after a friend of mine shamed me for looking like a over inflated balloon. Here's my advice:

1. You can't run in front of bad diet. Unless you are exercising as much as Michael Phelps does and losing 10,000 calories, don't look at exercise at weight reducing instrument.

2. Learn to eat slow. Really slow. Wait for few seconds between bites and chew longer. Give your body a chance to send a full signal.

3. Aim to eat only a small portion at a time. If you are eating out, divide food into smaller partitions and only eat one partition at at time.

4. Don't be afraid of throwing food away. It's unfortunate that there are kids in africa starving, but that doesn't mean you have a get a diabetes for them.

5. If you feel like it, start exercising. But just because you walked for 30 mins, doesn't mean you are entitled to can of coke, a cookie, or a piece of pie. No. Walking 30 mins doesn't even burn 1/2 can of coke.

6. Remember it's not what you eat, it's how much you eat. Don't start a fucking buzz word diet to lose weight, just eat little bit less and let you body adjust and tighten your stomach so you will be less and less hungry as time passes.

7. One last thing, eat only when you are hungry. Learn to say no to food. Just because there's a cookie or a candy or a piece of pizza lying around, doesn't mean you have to shove it down your throat. Just because it's noon, doesn't mean you have eat lunch. Just because it's 6PM doesn't mean you have to eat dinner. If you have to wake up at 1AM and eat a sandwich, but don't eat dinner if you are not hungry.
To address some comments (some of them dead) suggesting that typesetting etc. costs money: most publishers actually force the author to do this themselves.
No, that's not "the only thing strange" about this. Perhaps you're unfamiliar with American history, but this is wildly without any remote precedent.

Not to say that previous Presidents haven't done bad things, abused laws, etc, (shit, even launched disinfo campaigns, used the press to attack enemies, etc) but this is just gobsmackingly different from what has come before.

Obviously caveat "if this is true" blah blah blah because my Lord who knows what's true anymore. But knock off the jaded pseudo-educated bs; this is radically fucking strange and a departure from history up until this point.
