That's quite ironic in a sense, because "the publishing" is the very thing where there's a huge amount of perfectly-serviceable music that's totally in the public domain, with zero "rights" or "royalties" to contend with. And it's not just 'boring', classical pieces, but music in popular styles too. This whole setup is ripe for a "disrupt from below"/"commoditize your complement" play where someone purposely brings those old 19th century (and before!) songs from IMSLP back in style as the perfect troll move.

Heck, the record labels might do it at this point - after all, they'll still have the rights to the actual performed audio ("the master").
It's more than hubris and mistrust. The moment they inject you with radiation to stage you as you begin the process of treatment is rather illuminating.

Hearing that Geiger counter tick behind you. Hearing it start screaming as the nurse arrives with a lead hypodermic containing radioactive sugar.

Seeing her approach your arm with that fucking thing.

Watching as the needle approaches your vein, about to puncture the skin.

Freeze frame right there. Now let's consider that moment. You have a decision to make. Will you let them do something that will harm you to try to cure you? That is a difficult decision for most people. It requires a tremendous leap of faith. It is equivalent to being awake as they're about to saw off a limb to save your life from a gangrenous infection.

Cancer treatment has many of these moments. Every time you're infused with doxorubicin and vincristine each chemo cycle is another of these moments.

Deciding to let someone hurt you badly to try to save your life goes against our primal instinct and takes a tremendous amount of rational will to overcome that resistance.

Being treated for cancer and choosing a treatment path isnt an impassive collegial debate in a HN thread. It is a visceral experience that results in complete submission to a terrifying process that involves cutting and poisoning your body. In many cases the treatment is very effective. But alternatives begin to look pretty fucking good as you start down that path.
The issue is not just irrationality, it is toxic, hostile irrationality. Regardless of to what extent everyone is deeply irrational, only a minority are hostile. I have to agree, however, that some deeply hostile people have been successful, often by channeling the hostility of genuine losers.
At my annual physical, as my doctor was typing away at data entry on a laptop in the exam room, I asked him whether he felt the new electronic systems had freed up his time to spend more time on patients, or whether they had taken time away from patients. He felt the later.

I realize that anecdote is not data, and I'm not sure what metric of 'better' you're using, but I wouldn't be too hasty to claim technology as an unalloyed good in health care.
> Although desertification is sometimes thought of as the swallowing of lands adjacent to deserts, it is actually a process whereby land that was once fertile or semi-arable becomes desert as a result of things like unsustainable agricultural practices, or long-lasting drought.

So, desert doesn't encroach. Does this imply that de-desertification also doesn't encroach?

Not smart at computers, but maybe they are smart about computers. Everyone thinks old people can’t use tech but what if they don’t want to and that resistance is a manifestation of wisdom that’s incomprehensible to those without the same wisdom. To believe doctors as a class of people are less intelligent than average is silly and probably ego defensive. As a group doctors are of above average intelligence and certainly smarter than most of the people they work with in IT.

I think it’s the academic and professional institutions that are most culpable for the current state of things. They should have been the ones who foisted tech requirements on doctors, instead it was done through federal regulation. Most of the blame for most of today’s problems comes back to universities. If using tech is part of the job if being a doctor, then make it so from inside the profession.

Does the bar code act as a key to lookup a record in a central database, or does it just encode "I am 21, trust me" without any cryptographic signature?

Unless it's the former it's as good as a standard paper ID as far as forgeries go. If anything, having it machine-readable decreases security as it means the person inspecting it spends less time looking at it and just scans it in a machine.
Is there perhaps a way to separate the behavior of someone from your term for them in general? There could be "cranky behavior", but perhaps these are otherwise normal people who are just amateurs in the field of physics (or other subject) who don't yet know their hand from their foot.

Might there be a constructive way to benefit from the comments provided by cranky behavior? I'm not suggesting taking direction from folks with no experience, but perhaps cataloging the comments on this IRC channel to see what the distribution is.

Perhaps don't think too hard about the solutions proposed in these comments, but instead what problem areas do they fall into. And then from that perhaps there's an opportunity, if not for new research, for creating some better synthesized educational resource that might help people get up to speed faster.
From the article he's dedicating marketers to synch rather than mechanicals. I quoted the explanation of all three revenue streams for people like myself who don't automatically know which is which.

With Hipgnosis Songs Fund, Mercuriadis bypassed all of them. Songwriters are able to generate revenue from three sources: mechanical royalties (the sale or legal download of a song), performance royalties (paid every time a song is heard in public, whether it’s a live performance, on TV, or in a movie; played in a bar or restaurant; or streamed), and synch fees (song licensing for use in movies, video games, and commercials). Mechanical royalties are the only stream with a set rate; performance and synch royalties are negotiated percentages. Synchs are often more lucrative for the songwriter, since they generally split 50% for the writer and the artist, with the label taking its cut from the artist’s piece of the pie.
Synch is where Hipgnosis Song Fund could make them money, as Mercuriadis explained to the 177 hedge fund and private investors he pitched between 2015 and 2018.
For me, it’s weddings, holidays, and funerals. The proper way to celebrate those (this is culturally relative, and I’m talking about whatever sub-culture I come from in the US) involves alcohol. Which sometimes makes quitting alcohol feel like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
That's assuming the prices they agree on are optimal, which implies they have all the right incentives.

They could be paying too much in some cases (and then healthcare costs more than it should and some people can't afford it and die), or not enough in others (and then we get less medical R&D and more people die).

It's not an easy problem. And we can't just hand wave it to "have the government do it" as if they have some magic price-finding method that isn't susceptible to principal-agent problems or bureaucratic inefficiency or regulatory capture.
>doctors that insist that they shouldn’t be forced to use passwords (not even complicated passwords; ANY passwords).

well, it is a clear voice of customer. And it has good reason behind it - time and effort that the customer would like to avoid wasting. Instead of disparaging the customers and their needs how about listening to it and trying to really solve the issues. May be doctors for example would be more happy with having RFID microchip injected under the skin than typing password in? The security industry should start solving the issues for the benefit of users instead of pushing the crap down everybody throats under the disguise of holy cow of "Security!".

>clicked a phishing link, and gave up his network credentials.

and you still continue to think that password based solutions are suitable there?

The emergency ward is basically a whole new operation on the side. It is not feasible to keep it staffed with all specialties at all times, due to low volume and sparse distribution of those special cases, compared to scheduled weekday procedures in the hospital. There will be a few doctors doing shifts (sometimes just one), and the rest on call. In smaller areas there might only one or two of each specialty, and they obviously cannot be available 24/7, but will end up jumping out of family activities, sports, school and sleep basically all the time.

This probably doesn't even need any AI, just some scrapping and scripting to determine when it's worth resubmitting.

Somebody should implement this, seems like fun.

Of course, if it's done with deep learning... then it would be something else. Maybe even determine correlation with other themes in the other news of the day/front page, or month, etc.
I have to totally disagree with this statement:

> There are of course some people who are genuine frauds. How can you distinguish between x calling y a fraud because x is a hater, and because y is a fraud? Look at neutral opinion. Actual frauds are usually pretty conspicuous. Thoughtful people are rarely taken in by them. So if there are some thoughtful people who like y, you can usually assume y is not a fraud.

Just look at recent history- Enron, WorldCom, Bernie Madoff, Elizabeth Holmes (and many more) were ALL widely celebrated by neutral third parties before being exposed as frauds. Neutral opinions are often neutral because they haven't done much research on a topic. Thus, they are often relatively uninformed opinions.

And these frauds were NOT conspicuous at all. They worked very hard to present the appearance of success. It took some dogged investigations from "haters" (by PG's definition) to reveal the truth.

As a moderately famous person with a lot of haters I have a lot of observations about this and have come to a fundamentally different conclusion. Haters are simply heavy users of the basic human social mechanism known as Altruistic Punishment. This mechanism rewards calling people out on perceived flaws with an immediate boost to social status and enhanced opportunities for bonding. Under most circumstances Altruistic Punishment helps bind society together, but like all social reward systems ends up being abused, sometimes chronically.
Naive question

Can't we call Github a monorepository, as it is a single area one can use to access code?

Implementation details likely differ from whatever Google and her engineers are cooking up, but at the end of the day I point to an archive and pull artifacts. Certainly not every Googler clones the entire monorepo...
> What's the evidence that there is a brain or body in the first place, which is a big part of the original discussion?

I'll sidestep this by saying that for my purposes, reality is just a theorized model of what our senses perceive. If we don't trust our senses, then it's possible none of the things we perceive exist, but who cares? The things we perceive as our brain and body can be modeled to predict what we will perceive in the future.

> broadly speaking philosophy is where you stop having certain evidence for anything

That's not how I define philosophy, but I won't get into a semantic argument about what philosophy is. I also think saying things are "certain" is almost always a mistake. All I'll say is that if that if you define philosophy as eschewing evidence, then I'm happy to dismiss all of what you consider philosophy. If you aren't able to produce evidence (empirical or logical) for the statements you make, then all you're doing is stringing together words into grammatically-correct but meaningless sentences, which is not a skill I care about by itself.

I'm happy to say that I don't think all philosophers share your view that evidence is unnecessary, so there are many people who I would respect who I would also call philosophers.

> Once the body is assumed and our senses trusted,

I don't think we can assume that. Nor should we. Nor is there any value in doing so.

Let's temporarily assume the opposite: let's assume our senses are lying to us. If that's so, I'd argue that our senses lie to us in consistent, predictable manners. I can predict how my senses will lie to me in the future based on how they are lying to me now, and how they have lied to me in the past. If I choose to tell my fake body to let go of a fake ball, my senses will lie to me and tell me that the fake ball falls toward the fake earth. Every fake morning, my senses lie to me and tell me that the fake sun rises.

How would my situation differ if all this were real? If I really dropped a real ball and it really fell toward the real earth, would that be different? If a real sun rose in the real morning, how would that change my experience? In short, a falsehood so complete that it is completely indistinguishable from the truth is not meaningfully different from the truth. If I put my hand on a hot stove and sense pain, does it matter whether that pain is real or fake? I don't think it does.

> if you find solid evidence it'll be about how the brain differs (or not) from the rest of the body, not about the presence or absence of a mind or soul.

That's true, which is why minds and souls should be relegated to the fiction section of the bookstore, with ghosts, werewolves, elves, and all the other fictional things we don't sense with our senses. I'm not saying these things aren't fun to think about, they just shouldn't be considered as existent phenomena on which we base our beliefs and decisions.
It would probably look really nice on a laptop or smartphone. Doesn't sound cheap to make, though.

iMessage is only tied to an Apple ID for the e-mail part (where they can send iMessage to your e-mail). The phone number part is independent of that and you can take it over provided you prove ownership of the phone number (by inserting the SIM into an iPhone, it'll send an invisible SMS to Apple and back and that then activates iMessage on that number on that new device).
> [...] because anyone famous knows how random fame is.

Quite the contrary! My impression is that most famous people are quite full of themselves and attribute too large a portion of their success to skill, when luck (being in the right place at the right time) was a significant factor.

That's kind of my point. Getting airplay and being in adverts helps keep his song in the public mind which generates income from the song.

I completely agree. I study how groups of people interact. When working well, a group of people can tackle almost any problem. It's a magical thing to see.

Based on that, I experimented quite a bit with my blog, here on HN, and on various social platforms. Could that magic be reproduced online? Out of 1,000 or so online "friends", I have maybe 3 that consistently promote diversity of thought. Those people could moderate a room on about any topic. The people they gathered around them had all sorts of views and ways of thinking. It wasn't what I had seen in person, but it was the closest I've seen online.

So why not HN? Or FB? Or Twitter? Why did it work when some people ran/moderated discussions but not when others did?

There's too much to go into here, but one takeaway is that there was a system of incremental trust. New people we treat with kid gloves, see how they handle people who are smart and disagree with them. As we get to know you, everybody can relax more and have more direct, honest conversations. But when we did that, it was always full of things you wouldn't want copied and pasted to the public. Not bad things. Yikes! Just stuff that taken out of context would drive some folks nuts.

Online forums do not have that. So we're stuck desperately needing to meet and talk about complex and sometimes provocative things, but our tools are basically made for cat pictures and political memes. The social media services we have today simply are not in the public interest. There's no amount of tweaking that's going to fix that. They exist to serve base and lizard-brain impulses in various fashions.

One thing though. You're absolutely right about the dangers of echo chambers. But if you have an explicit small group, everybody knows what's going on. You know what's worse? Hell-banning, ghosting, and all of this damned AI trickery we do to one another to make people appear as if they are part of groups they are not actually part of. FB is getting so it'll stick you in that small echo chamber ... and you'll never know it. That's fucked up in more ways than one.
I can almost guarantee it's not the latter.

Ok, ease of deployment in that specific context makes some sense. You could still have separate source files, and bundle them together for deployment, but that would add a build step so it's a trade off.

All the other reasons I heard, I don't really see what they have to do with having a single or multiple files.

GitHub isn't a monorepo because you can't change multiple projects with a single commit. In a monorepo you can do things like change a function signature and change all of its callers in one commit, without breaking anyone's build. If the implementation and its callers live in different projects within GitHub, then you can't do this safely, and you need to do more work to provide backward- and forward-compatibility in your changes.
