I hope that this leads to better podcast discovery. The categories on things like pocketcasts are way too broad. For example, go into the news & politics category and there are tons of true crime podcasts. I don't care about true crime. I just want to hear the news or political talk. In education there are tons of language learning shows and self-help garbage.

There's also the revenue on interest for people who keep a balance (often 10-30% apr). I don't know how much would go back to Apple after the default risk, but its something to keep in mind for unit economics.

Child paegeantry is a multi-million dollar business, and has been for decades.

Everyone is part of the problem, starting from the parents who push their kids into the public spotlight, to the local media that provides coverage of this stuff, encouraging other fame-seeking parents to try to get in on it.

You're right, text is a much better medium. However, at least for me, I listen to podcasts at work mostly, or when I am doing something physical like dishes, where reading is impossible (or impractical).

I just wanted to follow up and let you know that I really took this advice to heart while applying to a few companies after reading it.

I just accepted an offer at a great company, and I do think that it was in part because of the advice you gave me here, so I wanted to say thank you.
The BBC's Podcasting House podcast [1] is excellent for discovering new, high quality stuff. They play you a single episode (often the first) of a different podcast every week. I've discovered some great shows through it.

You listen to podcasts like you listen to the radio: when you're driving, doing chores, working out, etc.
Can you expand on how that is amazing? Maybe I'm just tired, but I don't see how it's any better than existing mobile payment options just because of some partnership. I can already hold my phone up to a compatible POS device and pay with my chase card.
It's not going to be valuable. Would a simple checkbox with a few well-chosen reasons be valuable for upvotes? The difference isn't nuance or opportunity for self-improvement, it's just that getting downvoted feels bad and getting upvoted doesn't.
Erm I didn't watch those movies when I was a kid, and I certainly wouldn't be able to appreciate them if I had. I watched almost all of them as an adult within the last 4-6 years.

I think most ppl listen to them when they can't read like driving, working out, on the train, falling asleep ect.

Try casefile podcast if you are into truecrime. I've been travelling around the country and this podcast has kept me company well, although it did make me a little paranoid :D
idk why you're downvoted; australia did exactly that recently - there's now a federal law capping credit card interchange fees at 0.8% maximum. The EU is now 0.3% max.

Of course that means that you dont get so many fancy rewards benefits, but thats kinda silly anyway (getting ~1% back in rewards in exchange for a ~3% tax on everything)

EDIT: also, it feels very discriminatory. Well off people get the fancy cards with the biggest kickbacks, poor people get shitty cards with no benefits, but everyone pays the hidden 3% tax....
I don't think that's how TOFU works. Doesn't attacking it require an active attacker to substitute his own public key at the start?

Yeah, no, that's not how you do these things...
Ask HN: Move to SF or Start a Startup?
I'm in a mentally tricky situation.

(1) I have an offer to join a Bay Area payments company (ex. Stripe, Square, etc.) I would earn ~200K/yr + 500K in units (over 4 years) but this is a fairly lateral career move for me. Moving to the Bay Area is the main appeal here (from Canada). I've already accepted the offer but having second thoughts.

(2) I've already resigned from my current job, where the comp was similar (but in CAD).

(3) My wife is on contract until Sept this year. I have a window from now until Sept to really try to start a lifestyle business. I would absolutely love this and if I didn't have an offer already I wouldn't have applied right now.

(4) After Sept our plan is to travel for ~6 months. If I move to the Bay, it would be pushed back a year or so.

(5) We're both 30, no kids, financially stable. Financially, doing my own startup wouldn't be a risk right now.

I'm struggling to justify the opportunity cost in either direction. I feel like if I reject this offer I may not see similar comp again (but that sounds silly as I even type it out). I also really want to move to LA in the future, not really the Bay but this felt like a step closer. It's worth mentioning that I work in Product (although have a CS degree). I've also started and sold a company before but that was VC-funded, not a lifestyle business.

Just looking for some opinions and guidance here. What would you do? I also understand how lucky I am to be in this position so am super grateful for that.
See Betteridge's law of headlines.
1 - Yes, numbers are high but by your own source, you can see the rate has not been increasing since 1980.
2 - Hand waving about income inequality is fine, it's an issue.. but what do you think should be done about it? Tax the rich just enough so that they don't leave and take their wealth somewhere else? How do we find that threshold?
3 - Tax avoidance is a law issue, not an economics issue. If it's legal, businesses will do it. I saw the conference in Davos. It was just a guy saying "but what about tax avoidance?". This was not brave or insightful, it was just more hand waving and blaming the ones who have been pillars of industry, creating jobs, products, and economic prosperity.
I use them as white noise with the potential of an interesting tidbit here and there. I like having something playing in my headphones while working and podcasts have become something I turn to. Most of the time I'm focused on what's on my screen but every now and again an interesting story comes up that I stop to listen to.

Also about your search engine comment, Google has basically crawled and tagged through all your images if you use google photos. They've added automated closed captioning to almost every single youtube video. I would not be shocked if they're in the process of transcribing and indexing every single podcast available on google podcasts. Once they do that, you could probably search for "orange chicken recipe" and it would skip to the 55:16 where they're talking about that very thing.
The parts between "Despite many attempts, there has never been a Netflix of podcasts" and "Spotify will spend hundreds of millions of dollars acquiring podcasts"

Seems to me, that either means the Netflix model - exclusive content, paywalled, $$ monthly subscription - or the Spotify model - mandatory account, free subscription with ads or $$ for ad free.
I seriously enjoy humor or political / debate podcasts, especially while commuting, but technical podcasts never stick.

I find when getting into a new framework (something like Rails or React) then it's an interesting bit of "immersion learning" to throw on the latest episode of the big associated podcast. Maybe I pick up a bit of knowledge, but just hearing people speak naturally about the framework helps me build a fuzzy roadmap in my head of the big subjects to tackle.
Supply chains are so interconnected it would be impossible to limit the damage to your intended targets.

Probably similar to GPS "selective availability": turns out it would hurt the US Military more than anything else these days so the military has essentially abandoned the idea.
> and know those things for good

Path finding algorithms optimize for the least cost path. That does not mean such a path is good, nor a zero weight path from start to finish is perfection.

In that context just because humans seek something does not inherently make it good. Religions for example often prohibit some gratifying behavior.

Is an eternal state of pure bliss perfection, or little more than a drugged out meaningless existence? Individuals may prefer one state to another, but it's not clear that the state of maximized preference is thus perfection.
I'm not seeing ads on Reddit anyway. uBlock origin does this perfectly!
Exactly, that’s why “fake news” is a funny term: it is mostly used by news outlets that are loosing at their own game ;-)

Years again I was on a tour of the Johnson space center in Houston, home of the astronaut training facility.

As we were looking at a return capsule I noticed that the interior surfaces were finished with some kind of wood, which struck me as odd, and I asked if it was for aesthetics.

The astronaut standing near me explained that wood had the best trade-off of many criteria including weight and durability, and the goal was not to look like an 80s station wagon dashboard.
I suspect you're correct. I find it surprising that people buy flagship phones that don't include an SD card reader. It seems that there's a belief among some handset manufacturers that storage capacity is only relevant for apps since all media is stored in the cloud. Either that or they just want to charge you for that extra storage. Being able to download hours worth of podcasts on an SD card and not worry about storage is fantastic.

Public facility ostensibly, but essentially privately owned because the mayor's son is the district prosecutor, the (at the time) county's only judge, mayor and sheriff are political best buds, and the mayor is the bail bondsman for the county.

To give you a better idea: Someone I know tried running against the district prosecutor last year, and ended up getting thrown in jail for made-up charges which magically appeared citing a rape of a woman 15 years ago. The district prosecutor was assigned to the case and this person has simply been fighting to have another prosecutor assigned to the case because obviously if the DA tries him he will put him away as long as he can as an example to others. These people get away with everything up to and including murder.
Any German person has an order of magnitude more in common with an another German person than it has with any other person from a different EU country. It has nothing to do with overestimating or underestimating similarities when the effects are an order of magnitude apart. I encourage you to travel around Europe and interact with locals to see the difference yourself.
I like this idea.

I wonder how latency impacts the "live chatting" experience.

Email protocols have specific impediments on egress and ingress: on one end to ensure that a sender isn't sending out spam (challenges, proof of work, etc), and on the other end to ensure the recipient isn't getting spam/malware/etc.

Add to that SPF, DKIM, DMARC processing along the way...

It's not uncommon to have conversations with a 3rd party along the lines of...

- Did you get my email? I just sent it a minute ago.

- No not yet. It'll come through.

...with this taking sometimes up to a minute.

We accept a certain latency with email communications, but I'm unsure that will offer a good user experience for interactive chat.

I would agree with you if I didn't have a significant commute every day. Many of my interests shouldn't be obsessed at over work (videos or a bunch of reading), but still require my attention. In the car alone on the way home or to work is perfect for that, because I've learned that the rest of my family REALLY REALLY could care less about Lawns Across America.

Ask HN: Would You Take One a Side Gig?
I've had a stable (remote) SWE job for company A that pays 6-figure. I feel under-challenged and not super-excited about the industry (marketing), so a few years ago I took on a side-gig at company B in a completely different industry to learn new things, did that for about 8 months (not impacting my job at company A as I would work evenings).

Then I quit company B (on good terms), for the following reasons 1)was not super happy with the engineering practices. Code that was produced by other engineers was - to my standards - not of high quality (testing wasn't enforced, random bugs would pop up, lots of patches etc) 2)B was in a complete startup-phase so big uncertainty about the future 3)got burnt out and wanted a shift to focus on open-source projects in the AI domain (which I built and still do, on the side, not making any $ for those currently but being excited about building them)

Now, years later, B has seemingly (survived?), raised $$$ and since I left on good terms they want me back (with higher base offer than what I currently make at A, and higher pay than what I was making last time I worked for them).
So my options are

1) stay at a "boring" (remote) job at A (being under-challenged), decline offer from B and have time to work on open-source AI libraries (that really excites me) in hopes of productising those and making $

2) stay at a "boring" (remote) job at A and take on a side-gig at B as part-time in hopes that engineering practices have improved, make a lot more $$$ per paycheck, though sacrificing time spent on open-source AI libraries.

3) quit "boring" (remote) job at A, and join B full-time in hopes that engineering practices have improved and make a bit more $ than at A, and have time to work on open-source AI libraries

What option would be best in your opinion?

Are you suggesting that if I want to search on a particular device, then that device should hold my backup storage? If so, then I disagree and have chosen to store my backups on a device that's behind two locked doors, hard to reach, well protected from being accidentally disturbed, and which doesn't run unrelated software.
One hard lesson to learn: usually when you're burning the candle at both ends thinking your hard work will be recognized by management and rewarded, it won't.

Sometimes they don't even notice, more often your output is their idea of baseline, and a budget is predetermined.

Depends largely on the organization, but I think this is the typical case.

Go home, have a life, or if you have extra energy roll it into a side project you can own.
How old do you think I am? What do you mean by keeping up with traffic? when I go uphill I do not ride as fast as cars by all means, that doesn't mean I can not use the road. If a faster driver comes behind me he either: 1. slows down and waits, 2. passes if it is safe to do it. The good thing about the road system is that it allows for vehicles of all types and speeds. Can't you drive your car in a road where there are ferraries and big trucks? Learning to ride well is easy, it doesn't requiere superhuman skills. Building separate infraestructure does not help to learn to ride, quite the opposite it encourages people to think that bicycle drivers are inferior and incapable of learning, it creates the Cyclist ghetto.
> I sincerely hope that we fill see massive fines, people lose their jobs, and perhaps some more severe criminal charges brought against those whose negligence caused this.

TBH I find this “off with their head” mentality to be counter productive. Sure, if someone broke the law then administer justice. But it’s not addressing the root cause. What systemic weaknesses led to this scenario, and what systemic changes can we make to prevent it from happening again? That’s a much more productive discussion to have, although doesn’t appeal to our baser instincts and so won’t score easy political points.
I'm morbidly curious to see what the unexpected side effects will be.

Altering cognition like this can't be for free.
We tend to prefer simpler theories that still manage to make good predictions. Is it really a surprise that our best theories are simple in light of our aesthetic preferences? The "true laws of physics" could be god-awful, and we could find ourselves in a universe where we're literally incapable of knowing that due to practical constraints. It's also not surprising at all that theories that are aesthetically-pleasing to us manage to have multiple different mathematical formulations -- if we're assuming from the outset that they're not very arbitrarily-defined theories, it seems perfectly natural that multiple interpretations would exist. Nature could be more horrifyingly complex than we could ever imagine, and even if that were the case, it's conceivable that all of the laws "good enough" to make testable predictions would have a nice mathematical structure. Even then, we're nowhere near the "end of physics" -- how are we supposed to know that we've not just been wading around in the shallow part of the pool, only to find a bottomless pit waiting for us just a few meters away?
I think it depends on the type of podcast. I'm a huge fan of the storytelling style that was pioneered (AFAIK) at This American Life, continues at Planet Money, and is used in almost all the Gimlet Media posdcasts (given that one of the main Planet Money people started it). 99% invisible is also good at this, in a slightly different way.

> Podcasts are also completely inaccessible to search engines.

That depends on the Podcast. Planet Money, some (all?) Gimlet Media podcasts, and 99% Invisible have online articles/transcripts of their podcasts. I've found more than a few I wanted to reference here through searching for portions I remember.
Does this create a new email in everyone's inboxes for every message? Or is it doing something else under the hood.

I'm a huge consumer of podcasts, almost entirely comedy podcasts, which are just comedians bs'ing for a couple hours about nothing. However I watch all of them on Youtube, they all record the podcast with video and upload them. I find it to be a much better experience being able to see the person and many use the video aspect to pull up images and video. I guess it's basically just watching tv at that poi

I've even started my own yt channel to comment on these podcasts because I enjoy it so much. Plus there's so much content being created there's always something to talk about.
