1. I don't understand how you can both point out the existence of the 2019 entertainment industry harassment crisis and think that mentioning gender will weaken her message. People are chomping at the bit to stomp on any man that wrongs a woman at the moment. Drawing attention to her and their genders is a terrific move.

2. It feels like straight up bullying because that's what this is.

I don't understand why you're comparing Pascal to vim and Emacs. You don't even need to use Pascal to create a compiler in Pascal, do you understand that? I once created a simple Pascal compiler using C, and it was a simple project, much easier than parsing any other language. You can use any language you want, even Python would work.
How far does it go, though?

Our present laws, for example, allow for organizations with private membership (e.g. churches, but also private clubs and similar) to discriminate more or less arbitrarily on their membership criteria, and then offer services exclusively to the members. It's only public services and offerings that are required to be non-discriminatory. Should we get rid of this arrangement?

Should this be expanded into the private sphere? Everyday activities include talking and otherwise interacting with private people, not just buying goods. If somebody decides to refuse to, say, greet people on the basis of their race or religion, should we consider such behavior inherently harmful, and prohibit it by law?
Just changed, thanks!
Jony Ive leaving the company a few months ago is not a coincidence.

I'd think the key point here is focus.
Short periods of very focused work is much better then a whole day of unfocused work. I guess that's true. And since you can't work hard and focused for eight hours, the elite players split it up in two time periods with some relaxation in between.
I was surprised to learn recently (my son is just beginning his career in the music industry) that a lot of artists out there don't own the legal rights to their own music once they sign with a label.

It is I guess similar to the case where you might get hired as a programmer for XYZ Corp, and while there you use their resources and facilities to create an Uber or AirBnB app which goes on to make billions for the company. If you leave the company, the IP stays with them and they can continue to make money off it and not give a dime to you.

However, the corollary to this is that in the music industry, the IP is really not worth anything without the artist themselves performing the music, in most cases. I get that in this case, the owners of the IP want to still make royalties and money from the actual performance of the music, but I don't understand why they would restrict the artist (Ms. Swift) from performing or recording her music in the interim?? They would still get some APRA royalties from the performance.

NB: IIRC, Paul McCartney does not own the rights to the Beatles music catalog nowadays. It more recently belonged to Michael Jackson, and now to whoever bought it from his estate. But in this case, there is no 'don't perform' clauses in place, so Paul can still sing those old Beatles hits in public, and the owner of the catalog gets a split of the royalties.
Why do these companies not have dedicated red teams?
In my country the most common uber vehicle is a Toyota Prius which uses about 4 L per 100 kms. As our buses are poorly run and empty the majority of the time, Ubers are the optimum environmental option to get from A to B.

He is not being "abundantly clear". He doesn't give a definition of lambda_i(M) for the various M appearing in the theorem that are not A.
There aren’t any original ideas here. Taylor Swift is intelligent and already knows the political climate and can ruthlessly exploit it to her own benefit. We are all our own best advocates, she’s not any different.

For those that moved to or from Vault, care to share your experiences?

I'm using a fairly niche/small product to manage secrets at the moment but we're hitting scaling and response time problems for a globally distributed team.

We're already using AWS so we're tossing up using Secrets Manager instead and changing our tooling accordingly, but after starting down the path of using some of HashiCorps other products I'm wondering how Vault will go too.

The flaws and issues I brought up weren't caused by post-1995 realities. They were what news consumers had been given for a long time, in exchange for their subscription dollars & eyeball time.

The demise of news kingdoms happened when it became impossible for us to ignore what we were getting for our money.

Going forward, the economics issues are as stark and complex as you say. A new challenge is they're being used to justify feeding us the same diet of crap (not exclusively - wonderful exceptions abound) that our parents were served.

In the midst of all this is a comprehensive lack of self-awareness by news orgs who exist to state reality in helpful terms. Step One should be clearly stating the core reasons that quiet Americans lost their trust in the press. It's been 20 years and news orgs are still unable (again, lots of exceptions like CJR) to discuss these crippling flaws. How can any economic solutions help if news orgs offer little more than fluff, recycled content and 1st-impression reporting?

99% of the advertising I see is for products and services which are already household names. Advertising is not some democratizer which enables the little guy to pay a few bucks and stand on equal footing with the big guy.

Actually...yeah the two orderings are related by the Cauchy Interlace Theorem: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Cauchy%27s-Interlace-T....
Seems like a bit of a tail wagging the dog situation. How do we know the more relaxed/organized schedule leads to success, and not that success leads to a more relaxed/organized schedule?

This reminds me of some other advice I remember reading: No level of hard work or organization will substitute for talent and opportunity, and nearly all success stories to the contrary are missing key facts. ie Myth: Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Reality: Michael Jordan was put onto the junior team with players his own age/size so he could get more play time, instead of being prematurely promoted to the highest level of play. Myth: Bill Gates is a college drop out who found success in a technical field purely based on personal merit. Reality: Gates' private high school gave him more access to computers than Harvard, and continuing at Harvard would have been a waste of time given his level of experience in the field.

The lesson is that you need to figure out what you're good at and where you have opportunity, and then work hard in those areas. Just working hard is a recipe for failure for most people.

This is a pretty strange choice of examples, considering how little most people know about the manufacturing of any of those things. Besides, if bitcoin were to ever reach the masses, we'd start banking in it (because banks and useful and necessary), so M0-M3 doesn't go away. As soon as someone is holding fractional reserves, "how many bitcoins exist" is as relevant as "how many paper dollar bills exist".
DHH might have 20x her net worth because athough it was a long time ago, he had already been an owner at 37 signals for a few years before he got married.

Appreciation of assets owned before a marriage does not automatically contribute community property - only income and newly acquired assets do.

DHH’s answer may further give insight into why she was offered a low amount.

If he is named as the primary account holder then it may not show up on her credit reports even if it’s a joint account.

But so what? These facts aren’t relevant. Even if I’m wrong about them it doesn’t matter.

I agree they are weak and that this is why you are bringing them up.

You are bringing these weak statements up to avoid responding to the real problem with your position:

My experience is that the production operations engine is hard to get right because your target environment can drift from the desired configurations for reasons that you did not anticipate.
GP is not talking about the Arch Linux distro, but rather switching to using a distro compiled for the 64 bit ARMv8 ISA. It’s not a completely accurate comparison, but a fair analogy is armv7h is to aarch64 as i386 is to x86_64.
At least there is a chance for success with day trading. You might even learn something along the way.

I notice that most people who are deep into MLMs usually don't have any sales experience. If they had invested the same effort generating leads for a business at least they would learn sales skills they could use to create their own businesses. Not to mention that they would be paid a fair rate for their work instead of loosing money.
> Those passengers would be in a car anyway. They don't stop going places.

Are you sure?

100% of riders, for all rides they take, would choose to use a car if they could not use ride sharing?

Absolutely none would walk, ride a bike, take a bus, take a train, choose not to go?

I have a hard time believing that it's purely a "car I have access to or a ride share," 100% of the time. So I believe some amount of rides are happening that would not have people driving.

Of the drivers for ride sharing, there is some amount of time between trips that they are simply waiting for the next customer. This is time they wouldn't be on the road if they were not driving, and time the person who is using the ride sharing wouldn't be on the road either. So, I also believe that drivers must be on the road more often than the sum of the time they've kept other people from driving.

If drivers are on the road more with ride sharing, and if less than 100% of people using the ride sharing service would choose a method of transport other than a car, I cannot see how ride sharing wouldn't strictly require an increase in traffic?
> I think pip can select the version automatically as long as you provide the right metadata with the package. Shouldn't matter much really.

I don't think pip can install new versions of python. This becomes burdensome, especially for novices.

> Maybe write in the README that the package is only tested on 3.7 and above so users can be aware of that and check. Bet they struggle to figure out what version to upgrade to as well.

I must disagree with this philosophy. As a package maintainer, I think it's my responsibility to "struggle" so that my users don't need to. And fwiw, my employer also thinks that this is part of my job.
A reasonable line width contributes so much to readability.

While I'm fortunate enough not to experience much of it in the code I read, I do see a lot of websites which grossly violate sane line width rules by stretching the body text to the full width of the browser (looking at you Wikipedia ). Take https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity as an example.

Edit: Martin Fowler's blog (https://martinfowler.com/) is probably a good counterexample to this.

Women most certainly don't resist male contraception. On the contrary, women are usually the ones who have to keep reminding men to do it, or to use more reliable methods. For fairly obvious reasons: women are the ones who have to deal with far more serious consequences of unprotected sex.

And as for robots... consider the relative popularity of mechanical aids such as vibrators for women, and for men. I'd say that women have embraced sex robots a long time ago.
> I was surprised to learn

Of course you were surprised - the music industry doesn't like to advertise what a bunch of snakes they are, and media consolidation helps, so that what used to be common knowledge/stereotype, is now obscure.

It's like startups. Someone pays some 20-somethings to work themselves to death on their passion project. Most fail fast, some are notable, and a few are runaway successes.

Sure, you can easily answer cherry-picked questions about Bitcoin.

But the important thing is: nobody in his day-to-day life needs to know these answers about real money, nor have they ever wondered about it.

I can buy groceries just fine with my Euros, without wondering how exactly it has been created. Just as I wouldn't tailor my own paragliding chute, because otherwise companies could rip me off. I just trust in sensible regulations, paraglider-making experts and, finally, the social fabric of society.

You are very fortunate; mine got hit with the EM209 issue twice. An AASP told me that it almost inevitably affects the 2008 and 2009 models.

Apple did improve the model, though. The mid-2012 non-Retina model I'm typing on is seven years old and going strong, albeit with one keyboard repair (something that also affected my 2008 model twice).

For what you consider the most obvious question what do you think some of the most obvious responses might be?
> Normally I'm a "the contract sets the limits" person but in artist's rights, an given the extent to which artists are both young, and exploited, and wind up in legally dubious relationships which then magify out and up, I think the intent should be "what's the right thing here, no matter what the contract says"

If young artists cannot sign away their rights to the songs they create they won't get funded in the first place.

> And I think unless she received heinous amounts of fuck you money, and sold her rights for their current worth, unless she did that, if this is just normal A&R nickel-and-diming, then they should be told to go away, and she should get to perform her songs.

This is absurd reasoning. "You have to pay for IP rights. Also, if the artist is successful, you have to pay them again in 10 years depending on how successful that become." If they want that kind of a deal, it's usually possible to negotiate points for money, especially with unknown talent.

There is this idea that artists have some sort of moral right to control the destiny of their creation. This is garbage thinking.

Quite frankly, becoming a pop star is a huge gamble. Most people who get fronted money by labels don't make it. Those that do pay for all the failures. If you want to call that "exploitation", so be it. But I don't have much sympathy for her predicament.

Weird. Copyright is one of HN’s favorite topics in my experience.
Do record labels make crazy profit for the capital costs? Or are they one of those businesses where for every Taylor Swift getting screwed by not getting a fair percentage of the value of her earnings, are there 50 other artists who got a good size advance and never made any money?

I honestly don't know. I just think we have a tendency to only think about the successful artists when we evaluate the fairness of a contract.
All of the author’s core questions can be answered just as well for coins and notes as they can for bitcoin— Every greenback has a unique serial number, after all. There must be a central registry of them somewhere.

Money as understood by economists is not physical currency (coins, notes, etc), but an emergent property of the institutional use of IOUs of various kinds, like debts and fractional reserves. These also exist in the bitcoin world, and have already caused problems— How long did MtGox operate without reserves? Does Bitfinex actually have the reserves it claims to? If Bitcoin were immune from the problems of fiat currency, these questions wouldn’t even make sense to ask.
Sure, but the reality is I have greater access to debt (credit) with a greater salary. I can buy a house in the small town I grew up in, in cash, but instead I'm going to get a mortgage and buy a tiny place in this expensive big city (and participate in this big city's increasingly expensive housing market). I don't think it follows that if you pay everyone more, the appetite for debt goes away. I think you'll just get inflation, and the same amount of debt after adjusting for inflation.
I think the big factor here is that "she" didn't sell her music herself per se. The record label, which got all rights to her music from the contract she signed, decided to sell the rights to her music to another party. She didn't really have any say on the matter if I recall.

The original owners of the music (the label she signed with) seemed to do right by her and she was comfortable with that arrangement, but the new owners of her music have put different demands on her which is severely restricting her from performing her music to her fans.

It is a crazy situation, but happens quite often. Imagine if the owners of the Queen catalog said that their actual music could not be used for the recent hit movie - then it wouldn't have been anywhere near the hit that it was.

That was the problem with the Jimi Hendrix movie a couple of years back. Jimi's sister, who owns the rights to his music now, said they couldn't use his actual songs in the movie, so what you ended up with was Jimi 'sounding' music and it wasn't the same at all...
Thanks for responding to my comment. I should be clearer that I think her message is weak specifically on a moral basis. That’s a bad thing because it is pretty damaging behavior to see coming from someone with so much influence over young people.

As a piece of PR though, you are absolutely right. There’s nothing weak at all in this message.

Attempting to mobilize millions of fans like this is a nuclear option not only because it is a huge expression of power, but also an apt analogy in terms of the morality of whether such power should be used at all. (Said with all due respect to the victims of actual nuclear weapons.)
OK snowflake
lol. Years ago that was simply the free tier, and IIRC one or two projects stayed free forever.

Then they went all corporate and introduced enterprise pricing at about 10x the previous rates, and entirely nuked the free tier. Nothing - pay big or get lost. I won't be falling for it again.

Kudos for debunking two myths knew about and believed at face value.

I agree with the talent + opportunity + hard work combination, and I would say that enjoyment is also necessary for the hard work not to become (self-)destructive in the long term.
