I don’t know of anyone who has made any worthwhile music who did it to make money. You’d be an idiot to do it for the money, even in the golden age of music labels. The vast majority of musicians made nothing and a few got super wealthy. You had to practice for years, putting aside any other career in order for a small chance to get discovered. Now once you’re discovered and you have a career, you might continue to do it for the money, but nobody starts there and by then you’re already a talented musician, having done most of the hard work of learning to make music with no real financial incentive at all.

Now people can work on music part time for years as a hobby and just throw it out there and if it’s good people will find it and maybe they’ll get asked to do a gig here and there and that might be enough for them.

I like the term internet envirionmentalism -- what's good for me is good for the internet. But like climate change, unless it impacts the individual directly, few are likely to buy in. I met an environmental activist last week and she told me that people in Japan is a culture of cleanliness -- it's instilled in the child from a young age. And it perpetuates into society. For Singapore, that has translated into stricter laws. In North America, people have to care otherwise it's likely no real strong regulation will ever happen.

Running VSCode a Remote Server
You can use python to create that directly. Jinja is just another, default way to achieve this. Why? Because it turns out it's much cleaner that way. (I've done both)
I can't speak to profitability of competitors like velodyne and their existing lidar tech

but isn't it possible that the risk of waiting for sales volume to reach a certain threshold, thereby creating opportunities for other companies to bring their tech up to the same standard, outweighs the risk of selling the units below cost to capture marketshare in the short term?

PewDiePie gets more views on Youtube than the entire mainstream media combined, who pour a shitload of money into Youtube to get their videos promoted because they are losing viewers and can't get the ratings through good content.

Of course they hate the fact. They try to paint him in a negative light at any point possible, which just backfires on them, because they are just doubling-down on the same garbage which is what caused their massive loss of viewership in the first place.

People are fed up of old media pundits and their garbage "news" (or deliberate omission of). Pew News is now the mainstream news. Of course, trolls have taken the opportunity to use PDP to keep trolling the left-wing media, who seem eager to take any bait they're thrown.
Analemma
I remember when I was in Greek college and we were building a login app with PHP and MySQL. We actually were storing every password in plain text and I asked my professor why shouldn't we hashed them for better security and he was like "that's not necessary cause we overload the server hashing all those passwords". For a moment I thought I was paranoid but then I start thinking how vulnerable some systems may be.

Ya I was just thinking that the arrival of the internet around 1995 should show up as a drop in violence (by increasing connection and reducing angst for young people).

Also I wonder if widespread use of marijuana and magic mushrooms in the relatively prosperous late 90s would have led to a drop in violence, like what happened during the free love era of the late 60s.

Of course, coming from the Napoleon Dynamite region of southern Idaho, I could very well have no idea what I'm talking about.
Out of curiosity why would they create a distribution for Alpine? At least in practical use I don't know of anyone who uses it as a desktop OS like other distributions. I don't know of any features of KiCad that make sense when you don't have a solid UI (I also imagine that most users of alpine are sufficiently advanced to just compile it themselves if the rest of the dependencies are there).
Why not just call your api through something like postman?
You're right, of course. Unfortunately, this applies to a lot more fields than just music performance, and society is really going to struggle to sort out living in the post-scarcity economy. Also, the-once revolutionary "long tail" now makes choice so individualistic, and effectively arbitrary, that it's hard to capitalize on any particular genre or act.
I'm about to take the train from Florida to Oregon and I can't wait. I ride Amtrak up and down the east coast all the time, and will take it over flying any day.

Yes, the trains are often late. Yes, it's slower than flying and maybe even driving. But it's a journey. You can show up 15 minutes before the train leaves and still make it on board. You can bring snacks and some beer, meet people you never would've talked to otherwise, see parts of the country you'd never see otherwise.

You get to travel for the sake of traveling -- a rare pleasure indeed.
This is perfect, thank you!

I would add HSL colors and ability to download color scheme.
Being averse is still a good start though? - I was just wondering how long it would take for someone to replicate the technique and sell out...
To be fair, the compiler (as well as the Cobol compiler) did reduce the effort by a factor of perhaps 10.

So yes, you weren't coding in machine language any more, but the compiler was.
Fantastic point. Credit scores allow for greater “efficiency”, but don’t necessarily capture all the relevant information.

There is a common problem of seeing quantitative measurements as “more objective” than qualitative evaluations, but this is oftentimes naive. Notice that many of the best VC’s focus on the individuals and group dynamics of the founding team, something that can’t be captured quantitatively.

Depends who you mean by "customers". Customers will be advertisers, and you bet they'll obsess over making a great product for them.
No. It isn't worth anything.
I'm confused, you start with no but then basically validate what I said? Sure, in the case of this study health might be the only relevant one if they were only shown photos of the subjects and nothing else to quantify "beauty". But, in the applicable case of people actually being in and applying for jobs/promotions/what-have-you, a good personality and intelligence surely affect that perception as well.

Abstract
Why does it feel that the time passes faster as we get older? What is the physical basis for the impression that some days are slower than others? Why do we tend to focus on the unusual (the surprise), not on the ever present? This article unveils the physics basis for these common observations. The reason is that the measurable ‘clock time’ is not the same as the time perceived by the human mind. The ‘mind time’ is a sequence of images, i.e. reflections of nature that are fed by stimuli from sensory organs. The rate at which changes in mental images are perceived decreases with age, because of several physical features that change with age: saccades frequency, body size, pathways degradation, etc. The misalignment between mental-image time and clock time serves to unite the voluminous observations of this phenomenon in the literature with the constructal law of evolution of flow architecture, as physics.
The problem is if you shut down these sites you’re only making it harder for people like Erica who now cannot make money on the side to pay bills.
"Why" does not exist in science.
"Why" is metaphysics.

Pure math is increasing abstraction, moving away from physical reality, from examples to patterns. Applied math is the reverse direction.
No matter which direction is your personal preference, sometimes switching direction helps you reach your goal.
It's not your head, it's whether you're using your left eye to view the left side of the image or to view the right side of the image.
at least for the cities it services

And that's the catch. I've been told that years ago it was better, but try to catch a train to a secondary city in New England and you'll often find that the only offering is an occasional Amtrak branded bus.
Careful with that appeal to authority.

Resolution of the one listed at Conti is about 9x lower than what lumotive is claiming, but at about double the sampling rate; though flash acquisition has advantages versus scanning acquisition.
Kevin Drum has tracked this in detail. He wrote this in 2018:

"It’s important to emphasize that the lead-crime hypothesis doesn’t claim that lead is solely responsible for crime. It primarily explains only one thing: the huge rise in crime of the 70s and 80s and the equally huge—and completely unexpected—decline in crime of the 90s and aughts."

It's another version of the Labor Theory of Value which has been thoroughly discredited. It doesn't matter how much work was put in. Only the results matter.

Yeah we've seen that git module. We use something similar to that.

I was also thinking inadvertent log capture as well. Capturing creds in an ELK stack is just as bad. And I'm guessing this FB issue is some variation of complete logging snarfing creds.

I'm just trying to think of coherent ways we can scan, detect, and act on creds that work across a backend. Seems to be a rather large hole.

This article reeks of blaming new technology for killing an industry (it didn't), and resistance to change (i.e. things were so much better when I was young). He actually (sort-of) acknowledges this in the last paragraph when he mentions theatre taking a hit when films came about, but music hasn't been replaced like theatre has so the comparison is moot.

> Now everybody can make a record – and maybe that’s not a good thing

No, that is a very good thing. High studio costs mean that you had to get funded by a record company to get anything recorded and released. Record companies were the gatekeepers. Now, you can make a decent sounding record with only a few thousand dollars worth of recording equipment and a laptop. No, it will not sound as good as one recorded at a proper studio, but Joe/Jane Consumer generally won't be able to tell the difference anyway. The magic of music is not how high quality the recording is, but how well the artists composed the music and how they played it. I think the punk recordings he mentions showed that the best, because they objectively sound bad from a traditional music production standpoint, but that was the whole point those punk artists were making. There have been some absolutely great records made in people's home studios, even as early as the 90's. The key ingredient of good music is creativity, not sound quality, and having decent recording gear for cheap just lets more people be more creative.

It’s just an illusion that this somehow eliminates coding as an activity. You just code using a different, hopefully more productive language and/or mechanism.

It's my opinion that the title "Engineer" should be on par with things like "Doctor" or "Lawyer". It should require certification and there should be consequences for claiming to be one if you aren't.

You'll probably also take a massive paycut.
The voice sounds like a stereotypical effeminate male to me (occasional words sounded like they were spoken by a female). That surely carries as much baggage as any other voice?

Higher pitched voices seem clearer to me in many situations, car radio listening in particular (because of background sounds).

"For a future where we're no longer defined by gender", well we're not now, but our sex is a highly pertinent characteristic in many situations.

Are there records of species that have moved from being sexually bivalent to being without any distinct sexual dimorphism? Seems humans will always have sex as an important aspect?
You’re right. But: No one asked me to make a trade-off decision. Now I can’t chose anymore. Also: what has really changed with GDPR?
I wonder if this is related to the fact the quality of Google's search results has seriously declined for me over the years. I keep getting the feeling that Google is trying to second-guess what I'm looking for, and not only getting it wrong, but getting it more and more wrong as time goes by.

At least they're not Google. So even if they are collecting data about what you're searching for, they have less data to link it to and probably less power to use it than Google does.
The word engine signifies a product of ingenuity. A siege engine is a clever device to attack fortifications. Engineers don't just have to be engaged with engines in the modern sense to do engineering. The PE bureaucracy is just gate-keeping by the guild masters.
Frankly this sounds like some bureaucrat who likes HTT made up an excuse to fund it. It's a mil/gov version of a corporate engineer who decides to build a project in a language they read about on HN.
Just like calling the Department of War the "Department of Defense" - common sense, or just intentionally misleading people?
The package service comes at a price though.

Canadian shippers could only dream of US rates for first class mail packages and flat rate boxes with insurance and tracking.

Canada Post did a good job of privatizing outlets, and as you said, leveraging that network for the last mile.

I mean, currently the entire series is $126 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Generation-Complete-Blu-ray...

It makes sense to price high to get maximum returns from the users who must have it now, and then catch everyone else later with lower priced offerings.

I landed a job as a software developer at 17, should I dropout of high school?
Hi guys! I'm a pretty bizzare situation. I managed to land a job as a software developer 3 months ago. I'm mostly working on React Native and different JavaScript technologies ( both frontend and backend). My problem is that I love my work, but I have to spend like 6-7 hours in High School everyday, and I hate it. I feel like I'm wasting my time, time that can be used to learn new things related to Computer Science. So I'm thinking about dropping out of high school, I'm confused and I feel lost. I just can't resist three more years in High School. Any opinions?

I think "bad at specifying the domain and range of functions" was somebody trying to describe type safety in more pedestrian terms.

I think the actually idea is while the theory of statistics (like all math) is well typed, professional statisticians tend to use shitty tools/programming languages without good type systems.

People scoff that type errors are easy, but when most of the work is encoding the domain knowledge, and the statistics isn't to bad and just the last step, you definitely want to make sure you model prior to drawling statistical conclusions is sound and rich.

tl;dr there's good reason to invest in better tools, and the homotopy type theory that's being funded is as much about "how to apply math" as "what math to apply".
Any timeline they actually allow Registration of New Domain. Or do they expect us to register somewhere else and do the transfer?
> On perhaps Google is linking pages based on how searchers move around the web. For example, a searcher might first search for the phone numbers and not find what they’re looking for, so they search for something like the article title, and end up on the article. Google might see a high enough proportion of users behaving this way, and decide to save them the trouble of performing the second search.

Or - way simpler - maybe a link to the page at the text "4843218317" on it.

People got paid, but there wasn't a way to reproduce art for basically nothing but sell it as if it was the original. That radically changed the economics of music for a period, which could be seen as a distortion and not the way things should be.

I checked out Ian Tamblyn on Spotify. He has 319 monthly listeners. His top track has 11k plays. Is it because analog has more fidelity?
Rents will go up, as will prices for existing, rentable, houses. So current homeowners benefit at the expense of those who will continue to rent.

I have no opinion on the movement of new housing purchase prices. It depends on the kind of landlords buying houses in Amsterdam, and their alternative investment options; also on the volume of additional demand generated by the increase in rents.

I'm not sure why you believe the Amsterdam rental market to be predatory, or what you even mean by that. Perhaps you have more experience with it.
Well, I think it was originally designed with server-side html templating in mind. It works great for that purpose.

In the case of thread OP, that template is pretty messy, yes. In ansible, I would just create a custom module or action plugin in python to spit out whatever it is I need. I don't know how flexible salt is in this regard, but ansible is quite flexible.

For simple cases, jinja works great if you're just doing a find/replace type operation in yaml.

As others have noted, variable and pretty much guaranteed to be bad in remote rural locations (i.e. many of the most scenic). TBH, reliable WiFi for workations (or even just business travel) is a bit of a crapshoot in my experience. It's a lot more consistent than it used to be. But I've also spent days fighting a marginal connection to get something done. Fortunately, in a city, you can usually find good wireless at some coffeeshop even if it's bad at your hotel.
Yeah, and when I did node.js programming, the one time I ever got node-inspector working, I even would inject code in while paused on a breakpoint, which is undeniably useful.
OK, I agree with this, but Google could've easily curated the content to be kid-safe but instead relied on immature algorithms instead of hiring a few people to manage curation.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. "I'm done arguing about it, but analog sounded better" as if he has any evidence to back up his claim. Not all of us can tolerate music with an assload of white noise splattered all over it. I've yet to listen to a vinyl without the experience being ruined by analog hiss.
