It's more or less a writeup and summary of the reporting on the Trump administration. I recall reading about most of these issues in reputable press outlets.
From what you're saying it sounds like Spotify should have built a smartphone platform. It's not free for Apple to build and maintain the App Store and everything that entails—from API documentation to the rock solid software platform that is being kept up to date and is astonishingly robust compared to any internet-connected consumer platform that came before it.

Some apps pay for that effort with a cut of the app's retail price. Spotify pays for it with the tiny fraction of their users which (a) pay for it at all and (b) pay for it through their iOS device.
You seem to be describing premeditation. Criminal intent just means that you didn’t do it by accident. Did Karpeles ever knowingly misstate Mt. Gox’s bitcoin holdings? That’s intent, even if he never meant to be responsible for so much money.

I don't think this is necessarily the right conclusion.

Imagine a friend with a cafe, they get the opportunity to get another cafe, same area, same clientele. With the new cafe they decide to just get some franchise, a Subway type of thing. People are familiar with it and flock there in relative droves. The original 'ma and pa' cafe is therefore deemed to be not as good as a 'template'.

The other option to the franchise could have been to have gone with the 'ma and pa' offering, same deal.

But that is not all of the choices. You could actually create something new, not hold with what you have or chuck it in and go with the 'franchise'.

With website design it is very easy for people to chuck it in and go with a Themeforest effort, Shopify, Squarespace and the like.

But a lot of 'new ingredients' have came along with CSS Grid, semantic markup and much else that the themes, 'serviced websites' and the like are not up to speed with yet and show no signs of wanting to implement.

It is also possible to build out more than just a landing page from scratch in two weeks with the new tools. This involves learning instead of botching someone else's floats, divs and margin hacks. We have Cargo Cult programming and in my opinion this story is just another example of this.

I would recommend anyone else in this position to start content first, not buying a theme and then taking the photos needed to push in the theme because the boxes are there already. This is a backwards, 'design led' process and there are plenty of good reasons to go content first, then structure it properly, spend a day or two with CSS grid, then put the existing branding on there. A static HTML page is a good start, a working prototype instead of a PDF mockup.

Then, instead of the A/B testing, ask an honest person who knows a thing or two and won't bullshit you. They will ask 'why have you done that' questions which will get the content in shape. Thereafter, once you have a go at doing it you can spot what you like elsewhere and learn from it rather than cargo-cult-copy-paste it to never be confident of anything.
> you are making a mistake that in C++ would have bitten you down the line.

Taking some C++ code from an explorative phase that "usually works kinda ok" to something seaworthy requires, in my experience, a huge amount of work (which usually neglects a few issues that will bite you later regardless). I'm not so sure the (probably) faster exploration in C++ compensates for this compared to more "strict" languages like Rust.

Of course, if the functional requirement is only "usually works kinda ok", then you don't really need something like Rust.

Whatever you say I think we should see from apple prespective also.

"Let’s be clear about what that means. Apple connects Spotify to our users. We provide the platform by which users download and update their app. We share critical software development tools to support Spotify’s app building. And we built a secure payment system — no small undertaking — which allows users to have faith in in-app transactions. Spotify is asking to keep all those benefits while also retaining 100 percent of the revenue."
Corporations are made up of people.

How would you go about restricting corporate speech without restricting people's speech?

And, more so, why would you want to?

Scenario A: 1,000 people organize into a company. One of those people is the Founder/CEO who takes the vast majority of the money out of the company into his personal wealth. It is uncontested that this natural person can then use his wealth to buy ads/throw big dinner parties and invite politicians/etc. right?

Scenario B: 1,000 people organize into a company. They distribute the money of the company relatively equally, meaning that no single person in the company has enough money to buy ads/throw big dinner parties and invite politicians/etc. But they think it's important for their company to lobby. But in your world, they can't.

What principle is being served here? Make sure that only the personally wealthy can speak? That doesn't sound amazing.

What exact types of groups do you want to deny speech rights to? "Company" is a vague term. Do you want to deny speech rights to non-profits? To political parties? If you deny speech rights only to corporations organized under certain for-profit tax rules, do you imagine that it would be hard for Amazon to work around that rule?

This is simply incredible.

Projects like this are such a wonderful way to really spark that curiosity between hardware and software. So inspirational!

> It seems difficult to imagine that hordes of industrial engineers haven't done the calculations on each of these methods countless times at all car manufacturing companies.

Yes, it's the Ford method: you hire the smartest people you can to lay out the best plan, and a bunch of interchangeable grunts to just execute. But it turns out that the person that has to do that work 40 hours a week has a much better chance to find ways to make it more efficient, and if you build a culture where that's encouraged, that's what they do. If there is "one secret trick", it's probably that an employee that feels that they own their work does a much better job than one that acts like a cog in the machine someone else designed.
> The economic impact analysis comes as the NEA is facing severe cuts under U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed budget, and one year after the agency staved off the threat of total elimination by his administration.

Did you somehow read the article to be saying that we should immediately stop driving trucks and growing food? It's an extremely practical story. It's not about what humans need, but what the US specifically exports and how investing in those industries is important to our economic future.

Investing in more transport (aside from fixing failing infrastructure) or agriculture will not result in much of a return. People don't consume more food because there's more available. They do consume more culture.

> Expensive and rare things like Ferraris or Jeff Koon's flowers aren't more important than free things like air, water springs and insects.

TV, film and books, mainly. But the NEA is budgeted at 150 million (set to be cut to 29 million) for returns of 763 billion, with 4.9% growth. Investing in the arts is incredibly profitable and great for the economy. It's all worthless if the ocean covers the plains, but 150 million is practically nothing when it comes to the environment. The taxes from whatever portion of 763 billion that the NEA's budget fostered is surely higher than the 150 million dollar input.
I thought about this and watched the video again, and I've changed my mind just a bit. It looks like, instead of being accelerated, the whip end is experiencing reduced drag in the vacuum between the two shock waves. We can see that it travels right behind the first shockwave, not lagging at all, and this is exactly what you would expect if it is both the source of the shockwave and the beneficiary of the vacuum behind it.

Their complaint seems to be that theyre reasonable but spun in the opposite direction. It's a fair point, but ignores that language like "X inaccurately reported Y" has its own angle. Maybe the reporter in question is generally quite accurate, and got a bad source. Should that context be included, or not, and is that spin?

In other words, HuffPo is pretending that there's such a thing as being neutral, which is ironic considering how bad they are at it.

> And DP comes up almost never in the real world

What a big load of rubbish and gratuitous generalization !

Just because it has not come up in your work or you may have passed opportunities to recognize its applicability at your work, does not qualify you in any way to make such a broad comment.

DP has served me very well in each of the last three years in three different projects. In two of these projects I had joined the project midway. In every case the key was to recognize that DP applies where others had not and in doing so had left significant benefits on the table. In one case the 'others' was me myself. I had overlooked a potential application the first time.

So much for "almost never in the real world"

Thanks for the nirvana fallacy. The reason why steam is dominating is because they haven't fucked up yet. Competition already exists but it's going nowhere and their biggest competitive advantage is lower fees which will probably go straight into the pocket of the developer rather than result in lower prices.
Steam is cornered from multiple sides and Microsoft could even completely destroy them if they wanted.
In the end the customers don't benefit from the competition, they prefer their benevolent dictator over profit craving publishers.
I have several friends that work as psychologist, and the consensus seems to be that while it is unhealthy to not express anger in any way, it is neither a good thing to give in to anger. That is, if someones behaviour is provoking you, it would be good to air your troubles somehow. If you cant talk to the person in question, perhaps talk about it with your friends. But it would not be helpful to pick a fight or scream. Giving in to anger usually leads to more anger.

In the era of big data: how can we safeguard data integrity?
There's a big difference between a collection of hodge podge of websites and youtube channels run by often anonymous people that happen to be mostly in agreement on various theories, and the well oiled mainstream media orgnizations that wear fancy clothes, are allowed direct access to the president, have their words broadcast internationally on TV & newspapers, elevators, etc.

It doesn't take high intelligence to spot lies in the former, whereas it often takes significant intelligence and a long history of following the news from a broad selection of sources to spot lies in the latter. One group are hobbyists, the other are professionals.
Unloading/reloading modules is perfectly possible, though in my perception relatively less common on Unix/Linux, while slightly more common in Windows land (e.g. DLL plugins, resource/translation containers etc.)

> you just want to run it and see whether it at least sometimes produces the right output

Then use a dynamic language like ruby or python and enjoy not only data type freedom, but also features like easy introspection and code manipulation at runtime. Protyping and experimentation in a REPL is much faster, easier, and memory safe. If you are just experimenting, why are you wasting time and effort on e.g. C++'s complex type system? If you don't care about memory leaks, why waste any effort on memory management when the garbage collector can handle that for you?

> starting from Rust but setting a flag to turn borrow checker errors into warnings

Experience suggests the "we'll do it right in the next version" argument leads to "prototypes" being shipped as the "next" (only) version.

The difficulties imposed by Rust is the goal. Actually writing correct and safe code is inherently a difficult problem. Rust is trying to force programmers into actually addressing that problem. Writing similarly correct and safe C++ is also time consuming and difficult. The difference is C++ lets the programmer shift that work and expense onto the user in the form of time-wasting crashes and expensive security vulnerabilities.

Scientists clarify what probiotics are and what they are not
The thing is obvious and I will explain it again, using a made up example so less emotions are attached

1 I have an app or service say X and I sell it for 5$ and this is the lowest price I can afford

2 Apple wants a 30% cut, so I will have to make my app 7$ .

all is fine so far, the problem is at step 3

3 Apple clones my app names it iX(my original app was named X), makes it 5$ (or bundles it with some gift cars or other deals if you give them more money).

4 Apple's iX gets access to private APIs, is cheaper(or free) since is subsidized, Apple also forces me not to remove from my X app any links to my webpages if I sell things there

Now, please, consider THE USER, what does the user get:

- the user gets less options if my app X is killed or I remove it from the store

- the user pays more if I raise the prices

- the user does not see m,y sale pages because I can't show it in the app

- the X app that some(a big number of ) users consider it better can't access native features like iX can

So, get 30% or whatever you want but compete fair.
> and it will be just as safe as you write it in C

C++ standard library containers have guarantees about iterators and pointers invalidation, e.g. std::list never invalidates any of these, unordered_map invalidates iterators when rehashed and never invalidates pointers to either keys or values. This allows building unsafe data structures on top of standard collections, and then compose custom unsafe data structures on top of each other.

This makes C++ both safer (at least from memory leaks) and easier to use compared to unsafe rust.
Any links for point 4? That could be interesting for sure.

This is not the case. Different people make different mistakes, as any exposure to a high-school level English class will allow you to discover. There's a case for clusters of similar errors, but then again any generalizing statement is true for a sufficiently high level of clustering.

> nuclear, which would qualify the zeros exhaust dream

Nuclear still has exhaust, it just takes the form of waste heat dumped into some environment to the plant and then spent fuel, which needs to be managed somehow.

Stopping to engage beyond a minimum of respect and politeness, that is, controlling their (emotional) reactions towards the client, is a standard tool of psychologists. I remember being all in tears during a session, and my therapist appeared unsettling unaffected. Instead of entering my self-pity, she appealed on my self-responsibility. It worked.

But try this to your wife. If she is clever, she will demand reinforcement. So instead of changing herself, she will just accuse you being impassive, unresponsive or insensitive.
