Music may have very well dismantled itself for the future though; the actual IP of your music has become incredibly low in value. Tours and other forms of merch are the revenue generators. There used to be song writers that could sell songs to pop artists to perform and record; that generates much less now. I think the middle ground of interesting bands that aren’t superstars or one hit wonders will sort of dry up.

The TV and movie industry have decided that their IP is more valuable than it was in the past. The technology has changed such that they can distribute it on their own and don’t need carriers. It kind of looks like we might be heading for a pay per play model, ultimately. It will be very interesting with Disney+, it will be brave if they really do everything at $7 a month, I suspect that they will want premium tiers though, they have been so protective of their “vault” and now they have Starwars, the marvel universe, Pixar, the simpsons, etc...

I find it difficult to accept a copyright claim on commercial content never sold in a country. In my views, if you cared about getting paid for the content, then you would have sold it legally in that country. IMHO, refusing to distribute content is essentially forfeiting any commercial claims to its distribution.

This is true if you're looking at rent prices in a cost model, where the price of rent is basically the cost of providing housing plus a little extra for profit, similar to low-margin commodities like basic groceries.

But in a high demand area with constrained supply, it's more of a supply & demand model: landlords charge what the market will bear, which is mostly based on how many people there are around with decent/high-paying jobs. Prices haven't risen rapidly in recent years because the actual cost of building housing rapidly increased, obviously.

So using the latter model, increased property taxes probably wouldn't have much impact on rent prices.
Maybe so, but that does rather revert to mercantilism. Or, depending on how you interpret "supplied/funded/organised", nationalised agriculture which has pretty much only been seen in Communist states!

The current major version of the Design System (1.0) is designed to support the newest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9 and up. The next major release (2.0) will follow the 2% rule: we will officially support any browser above 2% usage as observed by analytics.usa.gov.

Not at all. We've had this happen quite a bit. The key is making sure that people have the problem that the product solves (and that they really hate the problem, or it costs them quite a bit of time or money, etc.). That's what you're really looking for: if people would pay to have the problem solved. That's indicator #1; not necessarily if there are existing solutions out there.

While it is harder marketing something that has no existing solutions like it, we've found that it's definitely not impossible.

Thank you for your reply, very interesting! I have no doubt that this project is great help to many people, and it's a shame that any medical device of this kind is closed source. Being involved in the development of medical software, I know how important testing is, and given the chaos that reigns in some open source projects, I'd be wary of hacking a medical device. I see both sides and surely it's a balancing act.
I created NasPics specifically for this reason. I wrote it in pure Go with no dependencies for ease of cross compilation since my NAS runs a weird old Debian based distribution of Linux on ARM. Running it is just cross compiling a binary, copying over and executing. For restart across boots, I just added a simple SystemD service file.

Ask HN: Personal Service Redundancy and Resilience
Having a brief encounter with a temporarily-lost phone a while ago, wondering if anyone had any particular risk-based solutions to keeping access to their online services going?

I've been doing little tabletop simulations to try pre-empt issues. Such as; lost phone, hospitalisation/death, broken storage, etc. A phone, in Google or Apples ecosystem, can really be a huge single point of failure.

Some of mine;

- Domain (prompted by EURid's Brexit b/s). I foresee no realistic technological solution here. Most of my mail comes in via catchall from different domains, which reduces the risk as it can be repointed. But what about primary domain? Just hope people know an alternative ala TPB? Best reduction seems to be hosting with a reputable provider, on a good TLD, with respected arbitration. Then just accept the remaining risk :(.

- Gmail (loss of account/access). Here I am thinking about mirroring mail (via mailgun) to a selfhosted box. Then it would just be simply logging in at a different portal. Other users would be up shit creek for a bit.

- Phone (lots of 2FA soft token nonsense and phone-binded apps). I imagine prompt recovery to another device is the best bet. But what if you can't? At least my number, and SMS can both be accessed outside the device as I VOIPed everything. So recovery isn't as painful as it could be. I am thinking Android in a VM _might_ work with banking, but probably not. I think the biggest issues here are 2FA recovery.

- Passwords/files. Mainly for my own incapacitation. Here I have done something a little simpler. I created a keyfile, gave one half to my partner and one to a friend. If access is needed, they will both need to collude for access and hope any service they need remains online long enough.

What is your important stuff, and what do you do to mitigate the risk of loss and similar events?

I've got a tablet[1] that uses almost the same CPU. When I got it they were $80 and it's better than it has any right to be at that price, but it performs about like a 2002-ish Pentium except with hardware video acceleration. If I wanted maximum performance for the dollar I wouldn't go with an Atom.

There are analogies for keeping similar illusion alive, like:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_wrestling

"The matches have predetermined outcomes[11] to heighten entertainment value[12] and all combative maneuvers are executed with the full cooperation of those involved...These facts were once kept highly secret but are now a widely accepted open secret. To promote and sustain the willing suspension of disbelief by maintaining an aura of verisimilitude, the performing company avoids discussing the true nature of the performance in official media"

And these are adults.

These girls may continue their hobbies in adulthood too (like most people keep playing the games they like at older age...)

These are my favorite problems - the ones people hate but seem resigned to living with; almost as if it's a simple fact of life. When you come in with a solution, they'll be skeptical at first, but you'll know quickly whether or not you're on a great solution for them.

> wind and solar because those are unreliable energy sources

They are unreliable but not unpredictable. Weather forecast provides adequate production estimates 48 hours, and precise ones 12 hours into the future (especially when averaged over large areas). Enough time to fire up standby power generation.

Also while wind and solar are unreliable by themselves, they become a lot more reliable once you combine them. That is because when there is little wind, it is usually sunny, and when there is little sunshine it is usually windy. At night, when there is neither, the power consumption is low.

The major problem that needs to be addressed with substantial amounts of energy storage is overcast winter days with no wind, when power consumption is high.

> Coal isn't economically unsustainable I don't know where you have that from.

According to a 2018 report[1] of the German Environment Agency (UBA), the economic cost (health and environment) of coal power is an additional 0,19 €/kWh over the generation cost. This makes it unsustainable compared to other energy sources and only profitable because the public bears this cost.

> Wind and solar covers less than 1% of the worlds energy needs even push forward to 2040 and it might do around 3%.

Someone should tell the Chinese, because they are already at 5% from wind alone.

Let's try something that isn't a thought experiment, but a natural experiment, that is, something that has happened dozens of times throughout history. Why is it that when governments collapse, their fiat currency simultaneously goes with them? If money is just a social agreement, why do those two things always happen together? If money is just a matter of convenience, why isn't that money still useful even after the government collapses, if nothing about the state of that money has changed? Why aren't people still accepting Confederate State Dollars somewhere?

The answer is that the state has changed. The backing of the currency collapsed, and it turns out that currencies collapse hours, if not minutes, after that news gets out. In the modern era, probably minutes.

There's an irony to cryptocurrency advocates claiming money doesn't have backing, which is that the only reason you can claim that is precisely that you're so casually used to fiat currency being rock solid, to the point that you literally can't imagine it collapsing, that it leads you to misunderstand the nature of currency.

How easy it is to actually do that depends on your ruby skills and your wallet.

Can Your Employer Fire You After You Quit?
I've been working on a project for the last 6 months, and this week the company will be founded.
When I came up with the idea I barely googled it, I just assumed that if it existed I would know about it. A few weeks ago however, I found out that a version of the system I'm building exists already.

After the initial negative response I started to carefully examine my competitor's solution, and the more I look at it, the more I'm convinsed that our system will outperform it big time. They apparently have technical problems which has stopped them from capturing market shares in the past 6 months.

If I would have found out about this other company 6 months ago, I would have never started working on the project. Thank god I did though. I have learned so much about web and app development, I have expanded the idea of what I'm capable of, I'm about to found a company (which of course anyone can do but feels super exiting for me :D ) and I actually have a shot at making it fly.

It is always better to do something than nothing.
I have no idea where your figures come from, but they appear to be wildly inaccurate.

https://www.iea.org/renewables2018/
my thoughts exactly lol
I think overall by Googling the idea and finding that someone else already is doing it should be taken as a positive thing, since it's validates your idea and gives you confirmation that there is a market share for it. Now you just need to make your idea better and more appealing when trying to reach to those existing users ;)
Instead limiting yourself, look at it as an opportunity.

Opening quote:

> J. Doyne Farmer: The first thing that makes me respect Murray is that unlike all his contemporaries, including Feynman, Weinberg, Hawking, and all the other particle physicists, he saw that complexity is the next big problem.

Hawking in 2000[0]:

> I think the next century will be the century of complexity.

So I guess he came around to Gell-man's thinking eventually!

What I don't understand is why we aren't engaging with complexity more openly and directly. The limitations and challenges imposed by constantly increasing complexity loom before us and are manifested in the global economic, ecological, and political problems we're seeing.

My opinion is that these limitations and the challenges of continuing to progress despite increasing complexity are what make up this Great Filter that explains the Fermi Paradox.

You can't become multi-planetary (let alone multi-solar) without an amazing set of complex technical systems that requires a stable organizational system to develop and produce over a long period of time. So first you need to solve the problem of how to maintain stability in an enormously complex organizational system long enough for these kinds of technical systems to emerge.

Complexity is an ever-growing albatross around our collective necks and I feel very alone when I'm arguing against any number of far-flung beliefs, like in trans-humanism and AGI fears/hopes, and can't seem to explain how complexity is the regulating phenomenon that makes what these people think is a perpetual exponential curve of progress into the same sigmoid curve that we observe whenever any other organism finds a way to exploit their environment.

I don't tend to read the name of the author of an article, because there is essentially zero chance that I'll remember the name and frankly I don't care who they are.

Fortunately it wasn't a "doctor -> man" bias situation, just "person walking through park describing view/situation", otherwise I'd have been super angry at myself.

> - "like he knows everything(in reality he doesn't..." -- You don't really know what he knows.

You can't know that for sure.

If, for example, someone is constantly making claims that are factually incorrect, and they are very confident and arrogant in the way they assert these claims. If they are always (factually incorrectly) telling others they're wrong about topics. If they always have to give their view on a topics, even if it's not necessary. In cases like those, it's pretty fair to say they talk like (the OPs actual phrasing) they know everything when they don't.

> - "He can't understand simple logic" -- I'm sure he can understand "simple" logic.

On the basis of what? Plenty of people can't understand simple logic, just like plenty of people have problems with basic maths.

Some of my recommendations:

* Ask yourself what would kill the idea, or the category it's in. Sometimes this leads us to come up with entirely new, even better ideas. Often it leads us to come up with a few better pieces to your original idea.

* Ask yourself what the simplest solution would look like for the user in an ideal world, then what the best technical solution would look like under the hood in an ideal world, then how you can marry the two in this world.

* Workshopping the idea with others can lead to totally new developments on the idea as you understand the problem you're solving better, what people think their solution would be, what people think of your solution, etc.
