Smart playlists in iTunes were great for solving 5 and 6 with separate auto-updated playlists, but sadly Spotify has no interest in this problem.

I hate the trend from product managers of responding to "wow there's a lot of things people might be intending here" with "let's just pick one in the name of simplicity." Give me the hooks to let me make my own solutions for the other possibilities!

What I want is to have the options laid out before be so I can pick which one I want. Spotify and friends seem to go with a "fuck you, we know what you want better than you do" approach, which is one of many reasons I prefer to own my music instead of streaming it.
Didn't they just host a CTF recently?
I don’t see how that matters when cryptocurrency exchanges are able to print money and liquidate leveraged positions at will (Bitfinex/Binance/Bitmex + Tether). Couple that with miner fees of over 10 million dollars worth of cryptocurrency every day and the market feels like a giant black hole for any fiat going in.

No, it's not. Throwing addicts in prison does nothing to help addiction rates, and proper support systems to help addicts can't be created easily if heroin is illegal.
There was an old joke from I believe Jerry Seinfeld which came out around the time the Y2K scare was in full force.

I am probably going to butcher it as I am no comedian but it went something like:

>All these people are freaking out about this whole Y2K thing. What are we going to do when the internet and computers all stop working?! I always respond with, "I know it will be horrible, it will be like living in the 80s again"

Now clearly I realize if all computers went down there would be real world consequences and issues, however I still like the joke.

Yes, if there's any benefit to the current opioid crisis, it's that American perceptions of addiction are changing as they see that anyone, not just poor/minorities can be affected by addiction and that it's absolutely not a moral failing

I'm aware of the issues, I just decided it doesn't really matter. It is rare that I want to read a book twice, or that somebody wants to borrow a book from me.

Rather than wasting storage space for books, it is probably more efficient to rebuy books when I want to read them again. Or bet on ebooks.
In countries with first-world train systems, all trains are already electrically powered anyway.

It’s mostly the US, the UK, and other countries with third-world infrastructure that still heavily rely on diesel in long-distance train travel

> I wished they'd just do a major version shift, dump the historical defaults, and be strongly consistent and compliant by default.

Regarding the historical defaults and consistency, they fixed that 4 years ago in MySQL 5.7. And last year's release of MySQL 8.0 added more modern SQL features (CTEs, window functions, etc).

There's still some non-standard idiosyncrasies, but that's true of every relational DBMS :) And while it's certainly possible that MySQL is arguably still more idiosyncratic than MS-SQL or Postgres, it's not like an order-of-magnitude difference anymore.

Hello HN,

Re-post as I forgot to include the URL in the previous post.

I originally designed BonFive as another possible revenue stream for Content Creators, and a more centralized way to discover new content and creators across the different platforms. A DB for Content Creators if you will.

Which figures for homelessness in the US and in France are you using please?
Interesting work. It seems that this project could be useful for many applications. :)

I was considering to give it a shot at an agriculture automation project. Do you have any resources/tutorials where I can get an idea of how to start?

Thanks, Marios
Cynical answer: Because existing cryptocurrency miners have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.

Technological answer: This just sounds like proof of work with extra steps. It isn't inherently any more efficient or faster, and it's vulnerable to centralization in all the exact same ways.
What if they didn't care about building a personal library, but only wanted to read a couple of good books?

I want #2 but most players do not do this. Both Amazon Music and Google Play fail although Amazon does a better job at giving me #2. Sometimes it will give me a different random order but sometimes it gives me the same order as it did last time I asked it to shuffle the playlist. To get it to resent the random shuffle I have to manually close down Amazon Music and restart it. Then it resets the shuffle.
I actually appreciated this error because I couldn't figure out which color was the one selected.
I've used quite a bit of R and Python and I've never touched Matlab. Similarly to your comment - Python has nothing that comes even close to RStudio for working with data. Jupyter, Spyder, PyCharm, VSCode/Atom with data science extensions - none of them are as good.

Wow, I remember doing this as a kid and thinking to myself that I was being stupid because surely wiggling the mouse would make the computer have to process more input and actually slow down whatever I was impatiently waiting for. I still did it though, because I _felt_ like it made things go faster. Turns out that intuition was right. Funny how we can learn to do things that actually work even when our conscious mind doesn’t believe they do.
>You can't claim a US history that is separate and didn't benefit from European history, given what actually happened there and by whom it was done.

I agree and wouldn't claim such, but you also cannot claim all the wealth was inherited through past practices from European colonialism. Much wealth was obtained under policy and practice by a sovereign US government and population. Once the US declared independence and became an independent nation, anything thereafter was conducted on its own accord under its own independent governmental system, free of the history of Europe with respect to responsibilities of practices. I wouldn't claim people instantaneously dropped their past inherited cultural beliefs or acquired wealth that kickstarted the process, but from them on, responsibility falls on the US.

Several wars, atrocities and theft of land from native Americans during continued expansion (trail of tears comes to mind), african american slavery used for production, exploitation of various other immigrant populations for wealth production--those practices fall squarely on the shoulders of the US and, in many cases, led to increased wealth and land in US. It is an offshoot of European history but when it comes to pointing fingers, the separation can certainly be made.

Such practices could have been abandoned by the US but continued onward, largely due to the tightly interwoven history you mentioned. Again, neither group can claim a rosey history but I would argue Europe had a headstart (if nothing else, just due to the arrow of time...).
There are some other interesting tweaks that can be done as well, sin taxes on things like sugar, tobacco, and booze are all likely to have major impacts on increasing the overall life expectancy
a 1-tensor is not a 2-tensor, and scalars have no area.

matlab:

size(1)
ans = [1,1]

python:

In[0]: np.array(1).shape
Out[0]: ()

0-tensors are not 2-tensors, either. You can read matlab's result as "scalars are matricies that have one row and one column", and that's nonsense -- matlab effectively lacks a scalar numeric type; under the covers, everything is a matrix.
So more random bullshit YouTube censorship, but what are people going to do?

Hosting videos in 2019 is easy. Getting your content discovered is the hard bit.

We need a decentralised and/or federated alternative for video-content publishing. The sooner, the better.

YouTube has been taken over by big business and lawyers, and it seems they are gradually trying to “dumb” it down and take away any risky (read: useful/interesting) content to the point it might as well be cable tv.

We could use a viable, alternate and free platform this very instant.
While I can see why someone might think this, from your comment I suspect you have never tried using a Pi? The value in these kits is not really in avoiding devops or sysadmin tasks, the default Raspian Linux distribution intended for the Pi is largely as ready out of the box for development work as any of these kits are. Most of them just ship Raspian anyway!
i cant get through the first screen. As a previous big-corp ui developer, it looks so familiar.
also wondered about that (still remember a friend of mine, after he started using python3 "I can use greek letters for variables now"). seems like python needs more experience than porting a numerics textbook...

Besides that: how do you actually input a significant number of greek letter w/o consulting a layout-picture or wikipedia?
> 5) works better with Javascript disabled

Ironically, I find there's (broadly) two sorts of JS-enabled website:

- completely broken without (often just a blank canvas)
- works better without than with

The most entertaining 'works better' example I've had is a site that gave me a free upgrade, because I was blocking client-side price manipulation.

Google Maps however: block canvas fingerprinting, and it's Goodbye CPU!

My point was that there's typically no way to get out of an HOA. Yes, I'm sure that better-behaved HOAs take many steps to "engage a homeowner to come into compliance" before escalating further, but that doesn't in any way change the original point.

It's not uncommon for all the available homes within a broad area (e.g. all those within walking distance of an employer) to have an HOA, making "just don't get a house with an HOA" not a viable option.

I'd love to have a "buyout" option.

> 1) Not move to the US to pursue a world-class tech career, stay in EU with a mind-numbing consultancy job to be fully consistent with morals.

I know plenty of people in the EU that work in IT, get paid very well (compared to their peers) and do not work in a consulting company. Especially for very talented people, I haven't heard of any stories about not finding interesting, fulfilling work.

> 3) Move to the US, keep the EU citizenship, but completely deny to myself the option of eventually moving back, so if I get a massive debilitating cancer that will force me to quit my job and lose my insurance in the US, I'll die with morals.

Since you renounce your duties to the society that gave you your free education and upbringing, renouncing the benefits sounds fair, yes. Living and dying by your personal convictions is what I respect in people. Living by them only while it's convenient and stopping to do so when they get tested just means that you don't actually have any.

> 4) Move to the US, keep the EU citizenship, keep the possibility of eventually moving to EU, but to be consistent with my morals find a way to donate to my EU government a few hundreds/thousands a month to keep contributing to the social safety net (I don't believe that's even possible for non-residents).

That's another option, I'm sure you can find a way if you want to.

I don't mind the emigration part at all, it's the reasoning I dislike. Saying "I don't like the bureaucracy" or "I don't like the population density" or "I don't like the language/food/culture/tv program" etc, that's perfectly fine in my book. But saying "I've taken all I can, it's time to move on, otherwise I'd have to give back. Oh well, I might come back if I ever get needy again and there's more to take" is not in my book.
Living in a society that finances your education and catches you if you fall comes at a cost. Ducking out when the bill comes isn't what I'd do.
SEEKING WORK - Maastricht NL, REMOTE

Experienced software developer looking work. Experienced in data related cross-platform development. Most experience in PHP/.Net/Python/Javascript (incl. NodeJS and Cordova) backend and
Angular.io/Ionic/React/React Native/Vue.js frontend. Also experience with scaling (e.g. w/ CICD/Docker/Microservices), database design, SQL and big-data and basic machine learning techniques (DNNs, regression, etc). I also have experience using these techniques in embedded context (e.g. Resin/Balena).

I would love to work with a company that is early-stage but has long-term ambitions and which has experience with remote workers.

I don't think using quintiles is unfair.

Consider thinking about it using an extreme: If I'm earning (and spending) in the top percentile in NYC or London, I assuredly have a very nice standard of living, but the effort (personal growth, career, etc) to move to that top percentile from anywhere else is far lower in London than it is in NYC.
Google Play Music seems to truly understand shuffle. Everytime you press shuffle button, you can see the playlist change randomly.
I think it is very straight forward, randomize without repetition, still many streaming apps fail to implement it - add Saavn, Gaana to the list too.
>This is just not the case, at least not in the modern world. There are quite successful auto companies who have made safety central to their marketing message. Go car shopping on Volvo.com today, for instance, and the very first thing you see is a big notice for their "Summer of Safety Sales Event."

There's a difference between the HN crowd and new car buyers in general. Most people here can afford any car they want (within reason) and buy whatever lines up with their priorities best. Your average car buyer does not prioritize safety or fuel economy (especially fuel economy) beyond requiring that it meet some threshold that basically everything in the class they're looking at meets. Getting in a serious crash happens zero times in most people's lives. Of course people who are cost constrained don't spend much time thinking about it. Nobody ever chose not to buy a Chevy Aveo because they didn't like the crash test rating. Seriously, 5%ers making software dev salaries don't shop for cars the way the masses do (and it shows, compare your office parking lot to the average traffic jam).

>This notion that safety is only of concern to people who aren't directly relevant to the car-buying decision (such as, ugh, women)

Where did I imply anyone was irrelevant to the car buying process? Most couple shop for cars as couples. Heck, many couples bring their kids and ask them if they like the rear seats (comfortable kids are quiet kids). Both members typically have non-negotiable "the vehicle must X" criteria that constrains the search space even when only one person is going to be paying. This is part of why the Jeep Wrangler sells so well (think about all the feature boxes it checks). People being people they have different priorities. Generally speaking whoever is going to be paying wants something fun and whoever isn't wants something practical.

>which is one of the blind spots that ended up getting Detroit's clock cleaned by imports.

You either have little memory of 70s and 80s imports and/or is looking at them through rose colored glasses because it's what you remember being dragged around in as a child. There's a reason people compared them to tin cans. Nobody liked them. Everyone bought them. Honda Civics were the Dodge Journey of their day.

Detroit lost to imports because Detroit built what the US buyers wanted and they sat on the lots while the Japanese built the cars the US buyers needed. Honda built a better Chevette than Chevy did (and the organizational reasons that happened are well beyond the scope of this comment). Like most incumbents Detroit avoided change until it was basically too late.

So many of my Raspberry Pi projects end up as a VM in my homelab esxi server, because they're just easier to manage that way.

US schools are very well funded. Adjusted for purchasing power, US educational spending is up there with Switzerland and Norway as the highest in the OECD for primary and secondary education, and is the highest for tertiary: https://www.oecd.org/education/EAG2014-Indicator%20B1%20(eng....

Primary school aged children have plenty of executive function. We’re not talking about daycares for toddlers. Americans just have very low expectations for discipline. Have you ever seen the inside of a classroom in Asia?
No, I need NVIDIA CUDA support. Also, the most important metric for me is cost per month per GB of GPU RAM, and AWS elastic inference is pretty bad in that metric.
What I seen here on HN from many topics from americans is the fact that they believe that for some reason US conditions are special, is largeror the density is not good enough or the work conditions are worse in other countries,

I do not understand why there are not many private minibuses for short distances and nicer(private) buses for medium distances, from what I read here it appears like US has no private transport companies. At least those would work oh the high demand routes. Are there regulations that prevent this or is something more cultural (like only poor guys would use a bus or train).

There is the issue that people in HN may live in larger cities and have more money then the average person.
I guess I'm in a MySQL shop, but when it comes to Gitlab, I just want it to run its regular upgrades without me having to do anything (and it does! I love Gitlab). I never considered running Gitlab on MySQL.

We rarely have to fiddle in the database itself (it may have happened once or twice during our migration from Redmine), for the rest we use the Gitlab API.

If you are at the level where you need strong control on your Gitlab install, then you're a Gitlab shop, and you should either use the recommended dependencies, or assume that you will be helping maintain the niche features.

One of the other things that Iacocca did, which I don't see mentioned as often, was the acquisition of AMC from Renault.

Lee wanted the Jeep brand; IIRC Hal Sperlich and others didn't think it was worth it, but Lee got his way. Along with the Cherokee, Wrangler & Wagoneer, they also got the highly-underrated AMC design and engineering teams.

What I found fascinating about that was how well the corporate integration was handled-AMC/Jeep wasn't run as a separate subsidiary for very long, and AMC people were integrated into roles of responsibility in the new organization, and products gradually began to incorporate components from both prior companies.

Compare that with GM, which owned Adam Opel for almost ninety years without fully integrating its operations, or the way Daimler handled its merger with Chrysler....
You're missing the point. Let's say Spotify pays rightholders 20% of gross revenue for streaming. Then they take another 40% of the gross revenue and pay the major labels for advertising, marketing... whatever. That's hollywood accounting-- it's not streaming revenue so they don't have to report it. Ever notice the labels don't complain that the streaming rates are so notoriously low? Why don't BMG/UMG/WMG just band together and demand an increase in streaming revenue? Because they WANT to keep it low so they make the real money on non-streaming revenue that doesn't go to rightsholders. Maintaining control is the issue and that's why they forced Spotify to make people work through their "partners"
We made a music system for the office I worked at a few years back; all of these options came up as possible meanings of "random". We ended up with a system where people could vote on which random they wanted, and all of them got used over the course of a few months. 3 and 4 were very popular.

It also sparked a lively debate about whether people actually wanted what they said they wanted or were just being difficult.
