Everything (void tools IIRC) is excellent, have used it for years. Fast, and completely reliable.
The only good thing it has is its recommendation algorithm and the convenience of having all the available music in one place.

Uploading your own music sucks (unreleased tracks get blocked for some reason), tags are messy (there is no standard, the labels do whatever they want), you can't customize your listening experience at all (no replay gain, dynamic playlists, custom tags or equalization) and obviously not owning your collection (which admittedly is irrelevant for most people).

Bad investors generally get identified fast in a good startup community, and word spreads. The good investors realize that it's easier to land good deals by being nice, e.g. http://paulgraham.com/ronco.html

Generally the idea is that investors accelerate growth. In most businesses, you don't even want investors. But startups are high capital and exponential profitability. Exponential means it's very slow and doesn't cover living costs for a while.

If you want half a million dollars, the fastest way to do it is to open a restaurant, do dropshipping, maybe even consulting. Many bootstrappers do so. There's a hidden cost - it sucks away all your focus. Investors are a hack around this.

You go to an investor because you don't want to spend a year consulting, and you want to take risks that don't cost you a couple years savings. The investor goes to you because you're a better deal than crypto or S&P 500.
If Stadia goes for a free tier, that's the most likely candidate. But I can't imagine any service where it's basically a friendly front end to an EC2 clone trying to insert ads.
I don't like it for podcasts because:

a.) It doesn't have all the podcasts I listen to

b.) It's obvious the ads on Spotify aren't the same ads that are in the normal RSS-feed version of the same podcast, which feels very skeevy to me. I have no idea of the business arrangement but it doesn't feel like I'm supporting the podcaster when I listen to them over spotify.
> They are the digital equivalent of HAM radio operators

That is really overlooking a lot of time, effort, and money that many people and companies put into their podcasts. A lot of the best journalism and story telling in the world is in podcast form right now. That won't be the case for very long if the creators can't monetize their work.

Some of it is just filtering… I'm constantly bombarded with pitches, the vast majority of which range from bogus to just not ready.

The things that come in from trusted recommendation are usually of a much higher quality bar, which makes it worth the effort to spend serious time investigating.

I still read (or at least skim) every pitch that comes in, even the cold email stuff. But the quality in general is just so much lower, and the pitches just not that compelling, so I rarely follow up on it.

Context and timing of the first contact is important and can make a huge difference to the level of consideration.

I don't think that's a huge deal. A preprocessor or a clang plugin (sort of like MOC and moc-ng in QT) could find those system calls and wrap or annotate them appropriately.
Why Google Did Android
The other browsers have it implemented as an extension that adds a button to the browser's chrome which I think is a better place. I too think it's a bit ham fisted to inject UI like this. Though I admit that Firefox's impl is obvious to the average user where a new, vague button icon in the browser's chrome is not.

Moving to SF is not at all necessary (I don't even live in SF). But it certainly helps. If you can build the right network without being in SF, all the better. But if you're struggling with that, perhaps moving to SF will help.

I had a conversation once with someone who was doing a music startup for a while. He said his startup pivoted to podcasts (specifically for executives/business people) because it was easier to make money.
Secretaries still exist.
Because podcasts generally dont have a centralized analytics model due to the RSS feed nature of it,spotify wants to get podcasters to pay for analytics as a revenue source, also ability for spotify to inject ads.dynamically is a huge source of revenue.

I'm not sure I see the justification problem here. It's not harder to justify contractors, the reasons for using them are still the same, California simply decided it knew better than the contractors and changed the law to force them to become proper employees. The problem is wholly political and not a case where it makes sense to say one side is more justified than the other.
It's basically that, yes. Also has bug tracking, pastes, and wiki services, and a few more in the works.

This was the ULA paper I read about 5 years ago : https://www.ulalaunch.com/docs/default-source/extended-durat... There are a number of papers on the ULA site describing fairly innovative ways to keep the LOX from boiling away.

"the ideals of not interfering with the potential biospheres (or lacks of biosphere) of other planets"

I think their ideal is to protect planets from interfering with their ecosystems unintentionally. Microbial contamination, for example. Especially Mars, since we don't know what kind of life, if any, existed or currently exists there. Also some of Saturn's and maybe Jupiter's moons. But I think if there were ever a strategic reason and viable option to terraform one of those bodies, which I think is pretty unlikely anyway, NASA would probably consider it. But by that time, I think it's extremely likely that NASA and the USA probably wouldn't exist as we know it anyway.
Building your network just takes time and effort. You're indirectly connected to everybody (6 degrees of Kevin Bacon and all that), it's just about what kinds of relationships you invest in. Do it for long enough and it pushes you in a specific direction, and you'll end up being friends with the right people.

(And sure, being already rich or connected or going to the right school gives you a head start, but it is in no way a prerequisite. Life isn't fair, some have it easier than others.)
That last point kind of revokes his programming credentials. Something that takes that long, done that often, gets automated pretty quickly by most self respecting developers.
It's a deceptively tricky DSP problem. The surface issue is that nonlinearities create harmonics that wrap around the Nyquist frequency, which creates aliasing. To deal with it you oversample, which introduces some frequency/phase distortion, and in the cutting edge solutions they run at 8-16x oversampling (which means 8-16x more CPU cycles for the distortion algorithm). And it gets worse with heavier distortion.

On the algorithm side there has been some crazy good work with creating black box models using Volterra Series and dynamic convolution, but it's an O(n^2) algorithm (although I believe there's an O(logn) solution out there). The top of the line modeling amps (mostly Kemper, there are a few others) use these approaches among others to give you hundreds of amps at your fingertips, and they sound great. Plenty of high profile bands use them, Metallica probably the most prolific.

I bet someone has applied convolutional neural nets to the problem, since I'd suspect they're exceptionally well suited for black box modeling of nonlinear distortion. Sub in an atan(kx)/atan(k) for your activation function and each neuron would be it's own first order model of a tube stage. The asymmetry might be more difficult to handle, which is where a lot of the warm tube goodness comes from.

The UI problem is well known. That's really what sets one amp design apart from another. No tube amp is particularly unique in signal path or component choice, the ability to dial in a tone is the secret sauce behind the classic designs imo, also why some newer models from Marshall are so much worse than newer guys on the block, but that's just my opinion.
Source code has a brief and lonely existence
They shouldn't be reaching out to me, they should put themselves in a position where people like me find them. It's much more valuable to work on the latter long term.
Week patterns have a long history, and humans have to rest some point, so I respect the "Nothing ships on Friday [and implicitly Saturday or Sunday]" plan outside of very young (often self-funded) startups where basically all that the half a dozen people doing it are thinking about 24/7 is that one project so there aren't really "weekends" anyway at first.

However, bigger organisations can get really out of hand with this. They start out with small carve outs, oh, nobody really works from the start of Christmas week until the first full week of the New Year. Soon it's from Black Friday although good luck scheduling anything the week before that, and so before you know it they're declaring that nothing can even be planned for the months of November, December and January each year.

Now, if you really must have this habit, which I don't recommend, what you need to understand, just as much as the "No shipping on Friday" folks is what this does to your perception of time. If you have "Don't ship Friday" then the question in the Tuesday meeting "Will it be live on Monday?" must be re-phrased "Is it ready to ship by Thursday?" and not every manager seems to understand that. But when you have "Nothing can be scheduled for our 90 day Winter Risk period" as policy then the question in that meeting "Will we be ready for the January 31st legal deadline?" is actually "Are we 100% sure we'll have fixed this by the end of October this year?" and I have yet to see anyone who recognises that despite having a policy which makes it so.

> Likewise, while a quarter of developers are now using Java 11 in production, just under two thirds are still on Java 8. Over half said the main reason they hadn’t moved was their “current setup works just fine”.

No real surprises there other than the fact that most people are still using Oracle JDK but not many are paying for support. How does that work out? Are people still using older JDK versions that could still be legally used freely? Far as I know newer builds require paid Oracle support.
> The dirty secret of URLs is that no one can quite agree on which ones are valid or how they should be canonicalized.

Fun story. An engineer was working to migrate an old system from Python 2 to 3 before the Python 2 EOL deadline. The engineer decided to use the str type to represent URLs. Chaos ensued when suddenly non-UTF-8 URLs don't work any more. Turns out back when that system was designed, people were directly URL-encoding binary data into URLs.

Never said plumbers were stupid. But we're talking about replacing an existing fixture with a functionally identical replacement. If you try to tell me that needs a licensed Master plumber, I'll know exactly what your motives are.
I played most of Assassin's Creed Odyssey through Shadow and mouse camera control was never an issue. Felt as smooth as local. Of course, with all of these services, local network conditions play a huge part. I live near a few urban centers where most of these services have some presence.

Excuse my ignorance as I've never listened to a podcast in Spotify... but does Spotify insert ads into podcasts?
Not for testing a class-D amp, which switches in the MHz range, and you do want to test if it's stable, if your filters actually get rid of the HF parts, ... And even for an analog design 50kHz wouldn't really be enough for many potential problems which happen above that. Worrying just about the audio range is not enough.
I'm sure Drew can provide a much more cogent answer, but Sourcehut also offers consulting services and sponsors open source developers. I recommend checking out the blog at https://sourcehut.org and seeing what's been going on lately.
Keep in mind the main use case for this is local desktop/interactive sessions. For system/service accounts, you can still use regular passwd files, SSH auth etc.

As you eluded to, the problems this is trying to solve include better integration/less rough edges with enterprise authentication (AD and the like), encrypting home directories, and making home directories and user accounts more portable. Anyone that does desktop fleet management will find a lot of stuff to be excited about here.
Nice to see another fountain pen enthusiast here. I love my Twisbi Eco too, in fact I love all demonstrator pens especially with the Iroshizuku ink. It's not unlike swirling wine.

But for beginners I would only recommend the Pilot Metropolitan, coming at ~$19 with fancy metal body and high quality Pilot nib. That pen is insane bang for your buck and will last years.
My personal beef is that both mobile and desktops apps are slow and song upload really really sucks
I visited Moscow years ago (2011, IIRC). Visited an 'American' diner - not really for tourists, but more of a place for locals. Kinda like a cross between Arnold's from Happy Days and a Denny's, but darker (I mean... low lit). I think the waitresses were on roller skates(?), and it was 24/7.

There were multiple monitors showing silent Tom and Jerry cartoons. No one was particularly watching, they were just ... on. I was told that T&J was sort of a 'thing' in Russia, but I wasn't there long enough (and didn't speak enough Russian) to ask much about it. What struck me, which I hadn't really realized as a kid, is that... it's basically silent anyway - there's no talking/voice, it's just antics, with music. Maybe there were some episodes later where they talked, but none I can remember. Very different from the Looney Tunes where the voices were half the fun. Still love me a good... I say I still love me a good Foghorn Leghorn voice.
Re: point b do you have an example of this? Is this a Spotify owned podcast producer?
podcast of always been open. TV and movies have always run on licensing. They are very different things, business speaking and I don’t agree with the comparison. of all the podcast I’ve listen to 0 operate on any kind of exclusivity. While I'm sure Spotify would love to have that kind of power I just don't see that happening because the precedence isn't there
There are plenty of folks who research this problem at the manufacturers as well as in academia. Stanford, McGill, NYU, UMiami, Aalto University, are a few places where you can find great researchers. The leading journals are the jAES and DAFX journal, and in industry I know of Fender, Native Instruments, Waves, IZotope, among others that were hiring PhDs for this kind of role in the last year. Decent money, not SV money however, but it's more honest work than going to study audio projects for DARPA contractors.
I would like to know the "why" behind landing on moon project. Don't we already know enough about moon?
Why waste money on it? Can't this money be used in other space projects like Mars Landing or earth projects like fighting poverty?
Overcast is so much better than Spotify for podcasts. I still use Spotify for all my music but gave up listening podcasts; it’s not just intuitive as overcast.
Not quite double, I waited for a ~$700 deal, but yeah, you pay a premium for the form factor. If you aren't looking to optimize both performance and small form factor, $500 is reasonable. Less if you can recycle an old case, psu, etc.
Read the first couple of chapters. Not bad, flows well. Maybe being a little more descriptive wouldn't hurt. Thanks.
Having "all the music" is a pretty important feature though.

But yeah, you are renting the music from them so you have to give it back the way you found it. I don't really consider spotify a music player of the same sort as winamp or foobar2000, it's much more like radio where you have agency over the playlist rather than a local executable to manage and play your local files.

It would be interesting if they provided some a way to get an audio stream you can then further process for replay gain and other stuff, though honestly fiddling with all that stuff seems like busy work.
Amazon accidentally shipped me a book a few months ago, by getting one digit in the address wrong. I pinged Amazon to return it - but I got the same response, "why don't you keep it?". I said I didn't want to, and this went on for a while, and I realized that they aren't going to to take it back. They said they were going to ship another copy to the correct address anyway. A day after the conversation, I was still not satisfied so I decided to walk down to this other house to drop off the book. Unfortunately no one was in when I made my visit, and I didn't want to drop off the book without speaking to them (it'd have been confusing if they had received some kind of an apology mail from Amazon in the interim etc). I had to immediately leave for a long business trip right after, and, well, the book is still with me. I didn't bother after my return - I convinced myself it was too late.

But mine was a book, yours was a beam. So I got off easy I guess :-)
I’d be curious to hear more about this. No need to link the page, but:

- is Wikipedia’s reputation system useful for preventing this sort of abuse? I thought most changes have to be approved?

- how would one go about establishing the validity of a page from first glance? One thought I had is a browser extension which colors text according to its age on the page; relative to other text
You are right, it's just an old habit.
Lots of podcasts already serve different afs to different listeners. That’s old tech.
I live in Utah, and we're known for snow, yet the bike paths are clear most of the year. I bike most of the time, and honestly, I prefer biking in winter to the summer because it's easier to layer up than cool down. When it snows, I take mass transit because I hate driving or cycling in the snow.

I own a hybrid, which is a nice compromise between electric and ICE. I can go on long car trips without worrying about recharge stations and I save a ton on gas the rest of the time. I mostly use our car for shopping and family trips, and it often goes days without being used.

My bike currently isn't an ebike, but I'm considering getting a conversion kit, which is way more powerful than the ebikes available in stores (the store models need to follow the law, aftermarket parts leave that up to the user).
Incidentally Pirates of the Apple put together first Mac. Though not exactly rag-tag, but brilliant, just a counter example I suppose.
I generally agree with you, but I think a counterpoint is that the dynamic which currently obtains, where the merchant class is on equal footing with the political class in terms of power and influence, is a relatively new phenomena. For most of history, people simply farmed the land and the only notables were the (relatively small) political class that wielded power, mostly at the tip of a sword.
Are you sure Youtube's keyboard shortcut for pause is "Space" for you? For me it's K, with J being jump backward a few seconds and L being jump forward a few seconds. I don't know if the media buttons (Pause, Rewind, Fast Forward) would also work as this keyboard pre-dates Windows 95 so it doesn't have anything like that. [ Yes I should buy a new keyboard... ]
I know the video had limited times, but in regards to enterprise authentication, is there any consideration to data ownership? In this scheme can the enterprise, or any superior device/data owner have a master key to decrypt home directory of a subordinate user?
