What is the difference between exclusive podcasts and making a website that only runs on Safari?

Ask Google, which is actively encouraging people to write web sites that only work on Chrome.

Sometimes it's OK, sometimes it's not.

Netflix and Hulu and other streamers are allowed to make and distribute original content.

Since 1987 in the United States, aside from news, TV networks aren't allowed to make and distribute their own content.

Apple was allowed to have exclusive albums on iTunes ("iTunes Originals").

Large movie producers aren't allowed to make and show their own content in their own theaters.

Maybe someday the regulations that apply to other media will catch up to internet streamers. But that's not where we are today.
They mentioned SIOC as an option for sellers of any type of good but they positioned it as a way for sellers to save money ("we're not charging them for the box") and have better control over branding.

I am an Amazon seller myself (two brands) and I am interested in your comment about changing prices. I've done this in the past and don't recall getting any pushback. Is this something new, or is there a threshold you have to hit that triggers a rejection of a price increase?
Most 4K video is closer to 50mbps. If your home connection is that fast, Sia should be more than capable of delivering smooth 4K streaming to your home.

A single host with slow storage is not a blocking factor because Sia downloads in parallel from as many as 30 hosts at once when composing a stream of data. Even if each has an I/O bottleneck of 1 MB/s (8mbps), you'll be able to get your video out at 240mbps.

In practice today, Sia hosts are almost all network bottlenecked, most use HDDs which do not have trouble keeping up with network latencies (HDD seek times are 11ms, network latencies usually 50ms+) or throughputs (HDDs can usually get close to 100 MB/s, far more than the network throughput)

Can I ask, have you tried streaming 4K video from the latest version of Sia? Seek times might be 5-10 seconds, but I believe that once your stream has loaded you will see completely smooth playback. Our next release has a focus on reducing those seek times, but the code is not ready yet.
No reasonably built keyboard stops working because of that amount of dirt.

I could bury my mechanical keyboard, dig it out, punch it, drop water on it and I bet it would still work correctly after drying it.

Others have suggested a talking stick, and I'll improve on that - a talking stick + timer. Because you need to enforce both 1 person talking at time, and time box them.

Even better, you make the timer be the talking stick. Every time you hand off the timer, you reset it for the next person. They say their piece and reset/handoff to the next person.

I've done this for daily standups/sprint meetings where things were getting out of control, it works well.
I find simply stating, "Excuse me but I wasn't finished." Is typically enough to get the point across. You can be polite and not allow people to railroad you.
What's the difference between a rocket and a firework exactly?

Else it's 5K Model Rockets, which to be honest contrary to their clickbait is better.... it makes it a little harder. And means they serve a purpose. A model has a purpose, a firework has a different purpose. But a rocket that just goes a few meters with no purpose it pretty lousy.

I find it hard to believe 5K rockets, which I see no reason why fireworks don't count at this size, have never been done before.

ESA set the (previous?) model rocket record a few days ago (4231) which was actually more impressive looking I think, more participation and looked better -

Most interrupters are exactly like andrewcarter here, they just get excited. When someone does it they're most likely not trying to be rude, and it's well within your consideration to air your complaint, "I am happy to hear your thoughts, but please let me finish my own before you share yours." It isn't a rude or confrontational sentiment. Nobody likes being interrupted, and nobody likes being called-out as an interrupter. Do that once or twice in a meeting and the over-talkers may all but stop moving forward. Nobody is going to resent you for laying down some fundamental courtesies, especially since it means everyone will have better opportunity to speak without interruption.

Thanks for talking about this seriously.

> most HN users on all sides would. Such a rift would kill the community. What good would that do?

Who are you excluding today with your actions? How do you know it would kill the community? I actually don't think so — the Rust community, thriving by any metric, has very strict codes of conduct. That's because the Rust community correctly optimizes for the safety of marginalized people over political diversity.

I know plenty of people that do not participate on HN today because of moderation that cares more about tone than content. Why not ban all the fascists and welcome those people? I promise that the sky won't fall.

Yes, I disagree with the premise that HN should be "dedicated to intellectual curiosity". This forum is way too important for that. For example, getting your side project on the front page of HN can have a large material impact on your life. Too many people are excluded from that today — they simply do not feel safe participating here.

You will necessarily make some groups of people feel unsafe and excluded. This is the basic truth about large communities. The question comes down to who you're going to care about: gay people or homophobes, for example. Immigrants or nativists. People affected by the structural injustices in the tech industry, or people that proudly support the same injustices. These are all mutually exclusive choices. Choose carefully.
Practice being more assertive and embrace the change to be more strong willed.

Being soft spoken is not embedded in your personality permanently.
No HLS in podcasting because of its legacy but just-in-time building of audio files with some caching is plenty fast. Some folks who do this use old internet radio streaming technology with the max buffer size set to infinity, but most of the time it's operating with plain old mp3s.
But you can blame the greedy for being greedy and wrecking good things. When are we going to get around to making things better ? Might as well start with these fools.

Yes, Filecoin is trying to come up with a "more efficient" and possibly "elegant" implementation based on algorithms that are still being invented. Of course, with 100x the budget it's possible that they could still overtake Sia.

You say to the other person, loudly and firmly "hang on X, I haven't finished" then you carry on until you're done.

There's no magic to it, no reliance on a corporate directive, or gimmick like a talking stick or hacky sack. You just directly address the other persons behaviour.

> pedantism

Sorry, I can't help myself: pedantry
I do it too & I hate it. My worry is that if I don't say it immediately I'll forget my comment/argument. I've tried scribbling it down and raise them later. But not very consistent in this process.
Those have coil whine.
I have this same problem.

The best thing I can do is attempt to use my natural inclination to help people like OP.

To that end, I'll usually say things like. "I think this is what "president" was saying, am I right?" This both validates to a more quiet team member that I heard them, but also gives them back the floor from someone who interrupted them.

I also attempt to listen to signals from quiet people who have opinions and then ask them their opinion after sharing. If they grunt or make a noise then I can direct it away from people who are more like myself and willing to speak out.

My goal is to not take the spotlight but instead to re-direct. I do this because I used to be SUPER quiet and I worked hard to get away from that. Now I'm considered fairly outspoken but I remember what it's like to be quiet and try to help out by giving them the time they need.
Not sure. I looked up what Paul Graham had to say on the subject:

> If you work your way down the Forbes 400 making an x next to the name of each person with an MBA, you'll learn something important about business school. After Warren Buffett, you don't hit another MBA till number 22, Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike. There are only 5 MBAs in the top 50. What you notice in the Forbes 400 are a lot of people with technical backgrounds. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Jeff Bezos, Gordon Moore. The rulers of the technology business tend to come from technology, not business. So if you want to invest two years in something that will help you succeed in business, the evidence suggests you'd do better to learn how to hack than get an MBA. [3]

>[3] Learning to hack is a lot cheaper than business school, because you can do it mostly on your own. For the price of a Linux box, a copy of K&R, and a few hours of advice from your neighbor's fifteen year old son, you'll be well on your way.

Most of these injuries are caused by motor vehicles colliding with scooter riders. There is little to no infrastructure for bicycles and scooters in the US and cyclists have been screaming for years. Now it's happening to scooters too. If you are an experienced rider you have at least a few stories about reckless drivers that almost killed you.

'“what has immediately become clear is that 75 percent of the known fatalities with shared e-scooters were due to collisions with cars.”'

Technically, "should" means "if you don't have some familiarity with this, you have a weak spot that you might want to work on."
Pocket Casts. End of story. It has speed settings and silence trimming, playlists, syncs across devices, and you pay for it so there's no ads.
Using an external keyboard for a laptop is silly to me unless I have it docked on a workstation. I do it, but I hate it.
TL;DR Amazon wants "Zero Packaging" which is their way of saying they want suppliers to pay for packaging, and every product should be manufactured for eCommerce consumption.

Unfortunately:

- Most manufacturers cannot afford dual stock (retail packaging and eCommerce packaging)

- Most manufacturers cannot afford employees onhand to repackage each eCommerce order

For now this hurts the consumer. Soon eCommerce packaging will be table stakes.
I've been approaching this problem from a slightly different direction: I'm constructing a set of tools for converting different data formats into SQLite, because once your data is in SQLite you can join it, filter it and do all kinds of other useful SQL things on top of it.

Tools I've written so far include:

https://github.com/simonw/csvs-to-sqlite - convert CSV files to a SQLite database

https://sqlite-utils.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli.html - convert JSON files

https://github.com/simonw/db-to-sqlite - export data from any SQL database supported by SQLAlchemy (e.g. MySQL and PostgreSQL) into a SQLite file

More tools here: https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ecosystem.html#to...

The end goal is to have databases I can load up in my Datasette web application tool so I can run SQL and export the results as JSON/CSV: https://datasette.readthedocs.io/
I've seen refurbished 2015 Macbook Pros going for 2000+. It was really the peak of apple's build quality.
He talks about the joy of a keyboard for his iPad, but it never occurs to him to connect it to his Macbook. I'm gonna say this blog is trying too hard to sound wounded about a broken keyboard.
I don't understand why you are so insistent on getting to the core?

On the topic of surviving extinction level events, it may very well be that researching how to live deep down indefinitely is a much better way to spend resources than researching how to survive Mars.

But for some reason you are arguing about going to the core -- which is so far beyond our current technology level that we may as well consider it scientifically impossible for now.
I doubt Apple can ever make as good a machine as the 2015 retina MBPs. I specifically requested one from work (only one with it my coworkers longingly look at my ports) and have a personal one also for development.

They day I change jobs and my personal one dies, I'm with OP, no more MacBooks for me!
The UMich network isn't "improperly configured". NAT-less networks have been around since the beginning of the Internet, and IPv6 networks don't use NAT (unless they're accessing IPv4-only targets, but that's CGNAT). I think you'll find a great deal of university/research settings have networks configured without NAT. If you can come up with a solution that works in all cases, I'd love to hear it.
When I was using a Das Keyboard I spilled numerous beverages on it and it kept going.
This work is a fallout of the conclusion of this report:

https://www.internetgovernance.org/2019/02/20/report-on-ipv6...

"legacy IPv4 will coexist with IPv6 indefinitely"

which was referenced in the original talk, and I wish more "just deploy ipv6" advocates would read. I have worked very hard on making ipv6 deployable (notably in the cerowrt project) and came to the conclusion after reading that that if we wanted sustained internet innovation we needed to expand and improve ipv4, also. Thus 240/4, 0/8, 225/8-231/8 (pending) and yes, even a large portion of 127 and a push to clean up other problems in ipv4 in general.
I would recommend paring down your ideas until you get an elevator pitch.

Keep it simple, stupid.
I realize that there is a certain conflict here, since I'm happy to program computers without understanding the physics of transistors, but your comment makes me nervous.
I punted my work issued one back and asked for a 2015. The new keyboard is an abomination.
after Apple added 8 core and dropped SSD prices (and added 2019 MBP to keyboard program) things don't look too bad. Was going to switch to gen2 Lenovo X1 Extreme but now actually gonna stick with Apple. Plus if you can hold off 16" with updated keyboard looks to be right around the corner.
They also fail in other ways at relatively high rates (trackpad, sound, display, ...)

We need Final Cut Pro, Logic and many more on the iPad too. The hardware is already there

I'm not sure this is true: the highest-end iPads can approach the lowest-end MacBook (Pros?) on some synthetic benchmarks, but the performance delta between the mid- and high-spec MBPs against the iPads still seems to be quite high. Let alone some of the higher end desktop Macs (some people, though not me, still need them).
All of these folks seeking to leave Apple indefinitely should at least consider doing this, the mid-2015 MBP did nothing wrong (aside from the battery explosion thing)

It can -- careers in areas such as governance, oversight, or committee work would likely provide that kind of atmosphere.
Because if I can steal one widget from you, stealing two probably isn't significantly more difficult unless you actually care about physical security and keep those two objects far apart from each other.

Now, it's likely that you do the right thing given the chance, but I know for a fact that my dad keeps the keys to his safe in his filing cabinet, and the keys to his filing cabinet in another filing cabinet. It's not really an extra layer of security.
What's the point of tossing this up on HN? We've dogpiled the macbook pro to death. What new things could we possibly talk about? This blog post says nothing really new: the keyboards suck and they break a lot. Also, add productivity apps to ipad.

"What alternative is there to the mac???"

I mean.... literally any other laptop. Google Search: site:news.ycombinator.com "alternatives to macbook pro" or something.

I don't like being so brash but it's taking a spot on the front page that could be something more interesting...
question is, why should anyone do it after having paid truck load of money for a supposedly a cutting edge laptop.

Though I sorta hate typing on them, keyboard covers are a pretty effective way to mitigate it.

But yea, that amount shouldn't be a problem for a keyboard. It's all outside of the contacts, and it's not blocking the motion. If it's actually enough to cause failure, I'd pretty solidly side on "this is designed wrong".
>> With regards to the camera helo -> relay helo -> fixed wing -> truck workflow, it's likely based on the ability for the camera helos not being able to 'see' the fixed wing aircraft. For instance, since the tour goes into mountainous areas, the camera helos may go down into a valley or be occluded from the fixed wing air craft at various points in time. Using the relay helo allows the fixed wing to fly a less complex flight plan, reducing potential issues with its link to the trucks.

The two camera helicopters do need to remain within range of a relay airplane at all times. This is often tricky in mountainous areas, as you’ve correctly identified. A camera helicopter losing sight of its airplane relay is the most frequent source of signal dropouts.

The relay helicopters are only used to relay the motorcyles’ signals, not the camera helicopters’ signals. The helicopter relays travel freely up and down the route, depending on where the motorcycles are located.

It goes something like this:

Moto cameras 1-5 -> Helicopter relay -> Plane relay -> Roadside HF/Sat relay -> Finish line compound

Heli cameras 1-2 -> Plane relay -> Roadside HF/Sat relay -> Finish line compound

One of the main innovations of Sia is providing a low cost means to turn that 1 TB refurbished hard drive into a useful cloud product.

Sia is able to provide, at 1/10th the cost of Amazon, high throughput, high reliability, high redundancy, geographically distributed cloud storage, and it can do that without high reliability drives or datacenters.

Pro tip from the gang at IBM: He who talks loudest is in charge.
You raised an interesting point about Alipay. But I’ve had equally fast transactions with Apple Pay/Android Pay. Why not double down on NFC payment options coupled with desktop devices instead of building an Alipay alternative?

If you’re using a credit card as source payment, you get a bank to protect your purchase and presumably some points or rebate?

I understand cryptocurrency as potential replacement to wire transfers and cash payments. But as a consumer friendly choice, why would somebody choose to pay with crypto over NFC pay (with banks promising purchase protection when coupled with credit card)?

That is one of many of his books to focus on this topic.

As much as I want disagree with his views, they look more sound every day. He is actually doing a follow up series on these topics on his blog (Ecosophia) currently.
I refuse to upgrade my Early MBP 2015 for this reason. Not only do I have one right now, but I have a backup sitting in a closet just in case anything goes wrong with this one.

I really can't understand why they went away from things that were working like Magsafe, a useable keyboard, escape keys etc.

The general disregard, from Apple, for power users of the Macbook pro has been really frustrating and bemusing
This is very true. But once you start learning this I think people start to realize others intent and that changes impact. At the end of the day we all kinda suck at communicating with one another and I believe that you should try to see intent too(I've found that this makes my life substantially less stressful as things that used to impact me negatively don't do so as much anymore). I'm not trying to give people an excuse for being a jerk but it helps with impact if you realize that they're not trying to be or that they're just stressed (I've also found that by doing this and being calm generally results in people apologizing after they've destressed).

We have had many talks at many levels over the years. This is an attempt to break the logjam of finger pointing that ensued. We expect wide adoption of this and other ipv4 related patches over the next few years across the open source stacks... and then a standards dialog can take place.

John Gilmore (creator of the unicast extensions project) was the co-inventor of bootp in 85, which is what made using 0.0.0.0/8 feasible, then. The fact that it's been feasible since and no movement in the standards orgs to fix it, has kind of been a record long wait from bug fix to deployment in both our cases.
I can't set Google Voice as the default Phone or SMS app, which is obviously Google's fault, but it means I can't really justify using this launcher the way it is.

History won't look at this era of Apple laptops favorably. It really makes one wonder how they missed this one.

It's also an indictment of this era of both hardware and software that nobody else produces a more compelling option.
