Did anyone think Tidal, Google Music, Pandora, Deezer has significant market share? Deezer and Pandora probably had a couple of million each. Combined they didn’t have that much. Pandora also wasn’t the same as it was just radio. Tidal hasn’t ever had many subscribers.

Spotify was the main and only thing around with MOG/Beats being a much smaller competitor alongside a few others like Napster/Rhapsody and Rdio before it went defunct.

This is unlike tv streaming which is more diversified and Apple can’t come in and give you everything like how it was with music.

It's long been known that the IPCC reports tend to be too conservative.

Nevertheless politicians take the numbers for the least dramatic predictions and turn them into promises that they then don't keep.

I guess that it won't be long before some country or other embarks on a unilateral geoengineering experiment. Perhaps when river basins in India start reaching lethal wet-bulb temperatures regularly. Let's just hope that it won't make things worse.

Usually in these races, there are two trophies, one for the overall winner and one for the female winner. This time, since a woman finished first overall, she got both trophies.

For 99% of usecases/people, TDZ just means you get a runtime error for your use-before-declaration bugs.

The only reason I can see for using `var` is if you're doing some very confident performance hacking in a hot loop and you have the performance testing harness to prove that you're not just wasting your time.

> The microbes’ apparent ability to ingest electrons — known as direct electron transfer — is particularly intriguing because it seems to defy the basic rules of biophysics. The fatty membranes that enclose cells act as an insulator, creating an electrically neutral zone once thought impossible for an electron to cross. “No one wanted to believe that a bacterium would take an electron from inside of the cell and move it to the outside,” said Kenneth Nealson, a geobiologist at the University of Southern California, in a lecture to the Society for Applied Microbiology in London last year.

One could say the same about Na+, K+, and Ca++. So what's so hard to imagine about electron carriers?

Why is that a perverse incentive? If the baseline is that it’s illegal to sell such things to kids, then this seems like a roundabout way to hire kids as a forcing mechanism to make companies really careful not to do this.
Yes. I was initially a bit confused, actually, as in cross-country skiing they often just have a men's category and a women's category, and then it's easy to award the trophies. (As far as I know there is no non-binary modification yet.)

I really don't think it did. While it may have deterred some software houses, it also spurred hardware sales and without the hardware sales there'd not have been any software market. As an Amiga user at the time, I had plenty of pirated software, but I still spent most of my money on it as well.

The amount of piracy was pretty much the same across all the platforms, including the PC, which certainly survived...

What killed the Amiga was the severe Commodore mismanagement that meant e.g. the intended followup to the ECS chipset never arrived - the chipset we did get (AGA), too late to save Commodore, was started as a stopgap measure because the intended next generation was years behind schedule in a company that in the 70's had several times designed and built computers from scratch in 3-6 months. Commodore didn't figure out how to do product management and engineering management in the face of systems with vastly increased complexity where having a handful of engineers work on a single next gen iteration just didn't cut it any more.

In the meantime Commodore were also pursuing any number of dead-end projects that never saw the light of day (e.g. the "C65" Commodore 64 followup for example), and had totally failed to actually rebuild a dealer network (necessary because Tramiel figuratively burned the US dealer network to the ground right before leaving) and actually market the Amiga in the US, relying largely on European sales to carry the company when the 8-bit models sales were falling off a cliff.

Any number of things could have saved it at the time it collapsed, though seeing how Apple also struggled and nearly collapsed, it's not at all clear what chances it'd have had for the long term.

> However, you seem to have illustrated exactly my point. An electric car has some limitations compared to a conventional car. But the gap from an electric car to an electric velomobile is probably even greater.

The difference and point (as noted in the second paragraph) is that it is much more feasible to have a car and a velomobile than to have two cars.
No one wants to pay the cost of tackling this problem.

Especially not the for-profit corporations that are responsible for some of the worst pollution in the world.

Ironically, they own the biggest capital and resources to be able to tackle the problem that they are creating.
It is the fate of most platforms, initially there are only early adopters that are selected, hand picked or invited, and as the platform progress there is an influx or more mainstream content producer, and the quality tends to be more average.

World endurance record in Cycling, for those wondering how on earth would a person run around 250 miles a day for a whole year. An Incredible feat even on a bike.
What makes Ultra running different? Women are still about 10k behind men for the world record in the one hour circle track (cycling) and their records are behind men in Olympic swimming (where they should have a considerable advantage due to higher average buoyancy/fat cell density).

For most amateur sports, the numbers will be all over the place. But for pro sports or things like marathons with huge number of participants, you're getting the top of the curve. A pro-woman athlete could dominate most of us average peeps (male and female), but when going against career athletes, we're hitting the limits of how we happened to evolve.

Human males are still larger on average than women when it comes to muscle mass, which is the driving factor for a lot of sports. There are mammals where the females are larger than males on average. Somewhere in out universe, such a species could be sentient like us. It's be curious to see how their own culture of sports, societal roles and dominance evolved compared to our own.

edit: Should have read the link in the above article. Women's smaller average size helps a lot on the downhills apparently.
Even just a simple head movement depends on the culture, as nodding for "yes" and shaking the head for "no" is not universal [0][1].
And this doesn't even account for something like the "indian head bobble". [2]

Another example is the use of index finger and thumb to create an O. [3]

So if these very simple examples depend on the culture, I expect signing to be much more localized.

On the Number of Times an Integer Occurs as a Binomial Coefficient
I recall at my first job improving a PHD candidates Fortran code that ran experiments on our various mixing rigs.

His initial code's interface was "?" and you entered integer numbers to execute various functions, and there where multiple levels here so you had to memorise the numbers and where you where in the program :-)

I added prompts (with Mixed case Hollerith statements) that showed the options at each level and what they did.

This was to reduce the risk of a botched run which when we scaled up to 1:1 in an 8-1 m dia tank could cost £20k - the cost of a small flat at the time
Same here. Generating LaTeX statically is a pain in the ass.
Not really. It’s just the memorable examples that are. An advert in your local paper saying “Handyman Bob, ${phonenumber}” is fine. However once you start to scale things the rewards for dishonesty become greater (as does your budget to pay for experienced professionals who understand which marketing tricks work).
It's just the way this particular competition was set up. Instead of male and female, they added a top female award and kept the other one "overall."

Why is it not suitable for production environments, its a compiled language?
From the comments I was expecting a really cool site with a lot of knowledge, but so far all I've seen is genre bashing. Since this is supposedly a general guide on all electronic music, it's really unfortunate they need to convey their negative opinions on everything that isn't their genre of choice. Either Ishkur is getting old and resentful or we live on completely opposite sites of music taste.
> This was the whole attraction of Netflix - it was a single service that got you most of what you wanted. Now there's Netflix, Stan, Amazon, Disney Channel, etc.

It wasn't. Netflix's selection was never, ever comprehensive, it just used to be focused a bit more tightly on 18 - 35 males than it is today.

And Netflix subscriptions never replaced other sources for the vast majority of their subscribers - the majority of Netflix subscribers in all major Western territories are also subscription satellite or cable subscribers.

Cable cutting was always a very, very minority pursuit, and HN is a massive bubble about it.
Same here, especially since they plan to keep the female trophy.

Delegation. A control has simple defaults but may consult you if you provide a specific method. You don’t have to describe a complex behavior of say NSTableView beforehand, you just set yourself as its delegate and then decide at beforedraw-time which rows will be group rows, how to patch cell’s colors and fonts, etc. It is a very good part of desktop ui design. Web controls never delegate anything beyond trivial onaction=f(event).

My problem with Jekyll (or other static generators) is that it's not as straightforward as anything with a web gui, like wordpress or ghost (or medium or tumblr or...). You still need to handle things manually (e.g. the yaml front matter), the preview is not "out of the box", different plugins/extensions may add unpredictable behaviour, you need to setup a build/deploy pipeline, etc. - the experience is just not streamlined.

I think that when you want to write, you shouldn't need to mess up with tech details of your system. It's distracting. Of course I'd like a static website for deploying, but I'd love a web gui which acts as a frontend for such generators. I think that Prose was something similar but I found it buggy/not updated, while another saas I tried(Forestry, I think?) was good but you couldn't customize everything.

Ghost is my ultimate choice until an official, core-developers supported web gui is created for jekyll, hugo, or whatever static generator lies out there.
I know it is a small thing but hopefully they change this going forward.

Having a 'special' female winner while assuming a male will be the 'real' winner is implicit/transparent sexism to me.
At this point Medium looks like a dumpster fire.

I even have a subscription, but will cancel it.
>Most westerners and HongKongers on Hacker news have a very extreme political view, you just believe "democracy is good"(TM),

That is not true. I used to dislike Democracy, and some what Pro Authoritarianism when I was young. It is how you get things done. Until you grow old and have a much wider view to balance. Democracy is the worst form of government. It is not like we don't know what crap and shit democracy brings us. Constant arguing and struggle against one and other, but it is also the only one that works. It brings Order within Chaos.

Democracy is the only system that can contain two ( or more ) opposing force, and anyone will always have the Option to choose. Being able to choose is important. Freedom isn't about doing what you what, it is about having the option of saying No to things you don't want to.

The need for Democracy wan't obvious until you have been on the oppressed side.

Right now the option of saying No is slowly and gradually being taken away in Hong Kong.

>I think the protest is a result of economic regression in HK

Yes and No. First there isn't any economic regression in HK. Second it is the wealth inequality that is the highest in any developed nation, and the 2nd part cant be solved without having a government that work with Hong Kong people, not against it.
Another not surprising shift away from Medium. When starting my own blog this year, I was debating between Medium and self-hosting solutions like WordPress and Ghost. When asked “why not Medium?” My answer was usually “I don’t want my content behind a paywall, I don’t like it when I’m a reader and I wouldn’t want the same experience for others.”

The other reason to me, is that you lose your own brand since your editing options are limited in terms of fonts, colors, domains etc.

I wonder now, how many blogs will follow suit? I like a lot of the content on Medium, but I don’t like the platform. It’s positive (to me) to see others migrating off.

I, personally, eventually settled on Ghost, hosted on DigitalOcean. WordPress felt frustrating to work with and something like Jekyll just wasn’t “enough” for me. My day job is writing code all day, a platform that is just text editing in the browser is a nice relief.
