IMO, it also works if you view them both as unreliable but in different ways. Them agreeing is a stronger signal of truth than either independently.
It's certainly normal for founders to give themselves more power than other investors.

America has always billed itself as more than a nation ("shining city on a hill", etc.), it's up to it's citizens to hold ourselves to account. Without looking at the past there is no way to fix our concrete problems going forward.

For instance, look at the Supreme Court case Holder v. Alabama and how it changed the Voting Rights Act, there is a direct line to slavery and the racism that fueled it. At this very moment States are using this ruling to reinstate laws that disenfranchise black voters who suffered after the fall of Reconstruction.

Nonsense on both statements. Shpongle crosses all sorts of spectrum's, and certainly into psy/etc. trance.

While some sort of music elitists may try to consider IM as "too mainstream" at this point, they certainly were not that way for many years.

Talk to just about any modern artist in the genre about their heavy influences and you'll find Simon Posford (Shpongle) and Infected Mushroom.

I disagree strongly (and I did not grow up in a religious context). I feel that pointing out the flaws in basic assumptions allows the to be identified and (one hopes) addressed; the use of religious metaphor can help some people frame it properly.

This is the first time I heard of AcousticBrainz and its sig (https://acousticbrainz.org/e73f3d92-4e9f-4db4-943a-41978d9db...). Nice! From the ones that brought us MusicBrainz right?

> what do you have in mind actually? I am not sure since the goal here is to play the music on the device from which you access to the server.

ncmpcpp is a music client, but for the mpd music server. Not sure if LMS <-> MPD do the same things. compare ncmpcpp to mpc, but w/ ncurses + c++. It has directory-based navigation which makes it easy to move through music.

Look forward to watching this project grow!
I'm getting those wholesale prices from hengdadice.com, the same wholesaler those two merchants both use. Factory prices, we can only assume, are much lower.

I don't know what you mean by "unbranded generic version". For reselling purposes, you can order a little card with a design of your choice on it (1 design total, 1 card per set of dice) from hengdadice.com, and both merchants I mentioned do that. That increases the wholesale price by a few cents.

The dice themselves are unbranded in all cases.
Don't forget the mortage runs for 30 years and after 10 years, you are forced to pay the rate at that moment... so in the end, it will be ok :)
Exactly, he gets the risk premium. One of the most straightforward ways of making money in markets is being compensated for bearing risk. This is a systemic factor and will exist no matter how many people are doing it. That’s not to say it will always be so lucrative, but in general he will always get compensated more than someone who is merely dropshipping.
I think it's the use of the word "person" in any sense that is confusing and foments anger. Better to call them "legal entities" or something.

It's a very weird contortion of logic to say something like, "Only people can be the subject of a legal instrument; We need corporations to be the subject of a legal instrument; We must make corporations people."

I mean, we have control over the underlying premise here. We can change it. Maybe that makes some people less angry. Maybe that makes it easier to reason about corporate issues without accidental conflation of the subtly different aspects of "person".
Very good point. I notice that many varieties (eg Cantonese) seem to make many distinctions that have collapsed in Mandarin.

So, whether Classical Chinese read out was intelligible to ancient listeners is hard to establish, but there’s a good chance it was.

Surely, Classical Chinese is a language quite different from contemporary vernacular Chinese.

Of course, Latin is quite different from Spanish, too.

Yet, I’d maintain that Classical Latin is more easily rendered in modern English (and with less interpretative leeway) than Classical Chinese.
All business, regardless of home country, exploits 3rd world labor. American companies are actually some of the most humane when it comes to this.

The key word is "battle". Political or ideological debate and inquiry are welcome. But if you're repeating the same talking points over and over, that's battle.

You're right that there are no incentives for playing a game here. This site exists to gratify intellectual curiosity. Other discussion boards do give points for repeating popular slogans.

Here, before commenting on well-worn topics like racism, ask yourself, "Is this an idea that most readers won't have considered? Do I have a unique insight that adds something new to the discussion?" If not, move on. Lots of things are discussed here, so you can surely find some where you have a unique perspective.
There is still no platform which gives space to those who called (the old) Tumblr home.
I think a lot of the entrepreneurs here are having difficulty in competing on the open market with the FAANGs and not-quite-as-big-as-FAANGs-but-still-big companies. They don't really want to end the tech industry's free reign. They just want to see themselves replacing the current top dogs.

One of the uses of a radome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radome) is to conceal the appearance of the antenna inside, so that people photographing it can't learn what frequency and direction it targets. That includes by satellite photography.

I don't think it would be very pleasant to have a radome over your house or yard, though, since you usually want sunlight to come in!
I feel like wordpress.com doesn't get a fair shake in these comparisons. It's not the sexy new thing, but it's a perfectly functional, not-annoying blogging platform that's easy for my marketing staff to self-manage. The pricing is reasonable, it doesn't try to throw up all kinds of nag screens to the readers like medium does, and they've been doing the same thing for long enough that I trust they aren't going to pivot to something weird next week.
The thing that makes unions work is the ability to go on strike (it's easy to shutdown a shipyard or a coal mine). I don't know how you coordinate a bunch of preening narcissists, but if film and tv actors can do it, maybe youtube stars can too.
What they should do is collectively take their content somewhere else.

As an aside, I'm seeing the same pattern at Amazon. People thought they were opening a business on amazon selling retail. Then amazon started selling the profitable products themselves, storing the products themselves, ... basically doing more and more of the work and taking more control and taking money from the people who helped them become powerful. Businesses there are now devolving into repackaging jobs.

Now Youtube is doing the same. They used focus on being a search and distribution mechanism. Now they produce content, allow sponsorships, have more ads per minute of viewing then television, ... jobs there are again, repackaging jobs. Repackage scenes from movies, previews, upload documentaries, sports clips...

They both grew through the expansion of the long tail. The reality is: where are people in the long tail going to go to sell their repackaged stuff?

Nowhere. There's no other amazon. Ebay? The flea market of the internet? That's where people who wanted to sell to wal-mart go.

The only place for them to go would be to create their own online store, or their own website where people can watch their movies. Then you have to be found through...

... that's right, Google. Nope. That won't work either, because only AdWords sponsored content appears in Google searches anymore. Google wants you adding data snippets to google.com so people won't even visit your website.

The internet has turned to garbage. You're better off going to the library like the old days.

The internet has been ruined by the mainstream and the money grubbers.

It's just gross. So sad.

Indeed, presumably they have paid a sizable team of designers quite well to create these diagrams, graphs, etc.

I was impressed by all the varied ways they have visualized their "data". The tipping scale, for instance, gives a clear before/after projection while being much more visually interesting than a plain graph.

Not to say that I believe all of it, but I do think visually appealing and/or dazzling graphics do have an effect on some types of people. Conscious or not.
Um... should I tell you about a little known event called 9/11?

Let's just add, oh, I don't know, 100 pounds of a fertilizer bomb like the Oklahoma city bomber. He used a lot more, but 100 is still crazy dangerous. Add you have a vehicle that laughes at bollards, gates and fences.

That would imply we're getting into a weird deflationary regime where money shrinks under negative interest rates, yet still buys more in the future!

Oh, I just added that yesterday as a response to the email. Before that I was actually running Google Analytics but since I get basically 0 clicks it wasn't really useful.

I don't like it because it suggests that freedom and security are somehow at odds with each other, which is already an authoritarian framing of the situation, and really just nonsense. I want to live in a perfectly secure world. I don't think that that is actually achievable, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that goal.

But: There is no such thing as "security" in and off itself, security is always relative to something that you value that you try to protect. So, if you value freedom, you can not achieve security through limiting freedom, because that would mean destroying what you value, supposedly in order to protect it ... but that would obviously be a total failure at achieving that goal.

The point is: Part of living in a world that is as close as possible to perfectly secure is that you have to mitigate the risk of concentration of power in the hands of authoritarians and corrupt people. Limiting the power of the state is a security mechanism, and authoritarians who want to obtain more and more power by calling their power "security" are simply lying.

If you accept that authoritarians dismantling security mechanisms is somehow an increase in security, you have already fallen for their propaganda.

You could track container ships, in fact they're probably so easy to detect you could run a small computer vision model on the satellite and only transmit those photos.

Obviously the most interesting container ships are the ones that you can see from space but don't show up on marine trackers. Although I don't know how you turn that information into money.

Actually someone must already be doing this, Airbus sponsored a Kaggle competition for detecting ships in satellite imagery https://www.kaggle.com/c/airbus-ship-detection and maybe that's how they caught that Iranian oil tanker last month.
It's important to distinguish between the general form of leased small office space and the WeWork model. In a recession, I feel it's pretty likely companies would look at their expense numbers and decide that WeWork is way too expensive in comparison to options like Regis, work from home, or just eliminating workers outside the main office.

> Now, with the advent of 4k streaming and similar popular consumer services that actually do require significant bandwidth, it's not surprising to see this sort of activity as a means of avoiding the need to provision backhaul equal to the promises these companies have made.

This sounds like a cynical take on their motives but is actually just buying into the narrative the ISPs have pushed that these caps are because the bits are limited and caps introduce fairness.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/06/comcast-says-it-...

In actuality Comcast has outright said it's a business decision, not a technological one, and at&t said uverse had no need for caps unlike their old dsl network and then added them anyways.

It's rent seeking, plain and simple. The exact same way that the extra cable fees go up multiple times a year outside the advertised contract price and uncorrelated with inflation, government requirements or broadcast carriage fees.

And then they spin it as fairness for the heaviest users to pay more and justify it as only 1 in 20 people have to pay it anyways, so, hey, don't worry about it.

First of all predicting a crash is a fool’s errand. It as much about emotions as it is about fundamentals. There’s a perfectly valid explanation for the valuation of Startups and the availability of capital for startups in the last 9 or so years. After 2008 crash, markets were stagnant until 2012. At the same time capital was being eased by govts worldwide. This capital has to flow somewhere. Tech startups were ripe at this crucial juncture for investments - we had seen enough successes with the likes of Facebook, Amazon and Google - and tech had a major point in its favour in terms of being able to scale easily. Now, in hindsight (personally i never thought it could work as claimed) this is emphatically not true for the sharing economy.

Plenty of articles have been written about it 2-3 years ago. We all have short term memory and are forgetting this. Every major tech publication predicted a crash in the startup economy. It never came about.

None of this related to the macro environment we are at. Trade wars wreak havoc on the sentiment of business than the actual supply chains themselves. Which is what seems to be happening now.
If all the content creators stopped...I'd have a lot of YouTube content to watch still.

OJFord is presumably implying that at least one person exists who gets their attention, so not EVERYONE does that, and furthermore that OJFord is people, so doing that is to some unspecified extent actually counterproductive to getting attention from people. The entirely absurd premise you suggest is in no wise necessary for making sense of their comment, since there exist far more plausible implied premises.

I'm not sure we can blame our fentanyl problems on China any more than our cocaine problems on Colombia or our heroin problems on Mexico.

Currency control comes with being a sovereign nation. Our government and the Federal Reserve in the US issue more or less new money into the economy and raise or lower interest rates to control the strength of the US dollar all the time.

I'm not sure dumping is a real problem for most products. Ones that are dumped are often cheaper in the first place because of the other problems, because it's easy to sell cheap when you didn't pay for research, development, design, or industrial engineering for the product. Other dumped products are often such low quality that they could be driven out of the market with consumer rights laws and lemon laws.

The rest I can agree are real issues.

I'm not putting in an opinion on anything else in your post except the supposed 'freedom' of youtubers et al. Okay maybe one more thing. I like seeing alternative viewpoints, and yours is a rare one on HN. I like to champion alternative viewpoints whenever I see them, especially when they're voted white for no reason. It's hard to go to bat for you on this though, since you're for retaliation against a bunch of people who dare try and organize around their shared pain points. I just can't do it this time!

Unionizing is like a mini revolution. I was always confused about anti unionism when I was in school, because unions seem as american as it gets (in the 7th grade social studies definition of 'America).
