I have a difficult time believing that, of all things, Podcasting is the thing Spotify will/has ruined.

The Podcast ecosystem is very open, but the only monetization vehicle I know of that has made a meaningful impact in the history of Podcasts is Midroll (Which now looking up seems to be owned by Stitcher).

I know from listening to the Giant Bomb podcast for a decade that they had a hard time justifying the podcast to the business-side of their operation for years because it doesn't work in to a balance sheet.

Presumably that is less of an issue now and I hear Midroll-based ads on literally every podcast I listen to.

I'd be much more worried about that than Spotify as far as monopoloization goes.

This article leaves them out entirely, and it feels like it's almost done with purpose to make the point they want.
computers are really full of distractions
More or less. Constellation was effectively broken up into smaller chunks (Artemis, Orion, Commercial Crew) versus being a unified program.
It's essentially just applying these patches: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt...

The above is for kernel 5.4, as the patchset for 5.5 doesn't exist at the time of this post.

After applying the patches, you'll want to run "make nconfig" or "make menuconfig" and search for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT and enable it and you should be good to go. The only downside in my experience is Virtual Box doesn't work with the -rt kernel as of right now, so I can't use it as my daily driver. It is a my preferred kernel though for gaming and overall desktop use. I use a custom low-latency kernel when I'm not using the -rt and it's been working well for me.
You have it backwards. His all meat and greens diet resolved his autoimmune disorder and thus cured his insomnia. This has nothing to do with why he was prescribed clonazepam.

Changing your diet to avoid insomnia and crippling pain is not something that reasonable people could call idealogical motivation.

> Among 20- and 30-somethings, almost every single city in America has more single men than single women. Although no single woman in New York will believe it, I promise it's true.

Could the common complaint among NYC women be that it's not as balanced in their favor as they've been used to? Maybe it's because men aren't looking for relationships until later on in life? Or perhaps could it be due to the increased financial pressure society has on men which leads to increased standards for a male partner? Or maybe society has an increased dating pressure due to a female's age, which makes less females successful in their search due to their age?

Regardless of why these differences exist, it seems loneliness is only getting worse, and we are trending towards a less and less compassionate future. How can people help with the issue?
But significantly less than CD sales used to.
Semantically yes but the way it affects your biological functions, no.
Yandex Search does it to me regularly. Sometimes it takes 5 attempts to get through the captchas.
That's probably good enough, but certainly better than what I have at home. In fact, I bought a couple of those for my workplace.
This seems like a parallel to blogs and rss feeds.
I was just adding some on-hover functionality to my side-project's website recently (to zoom screenshots, https://kopi.cloud) and was thinking I was going to need some "solution" for touch devices.

But then I tried it out on iphone/surface-pro and most browsers seem to work fine - you just have to touch the image instead of hover to get the animation to fire. Is there an issue with this I need to look into?
Anymore? I don't think there was ever a time where you could actual human help from Amazon other than pressing the "refund" or "resend package" buttons. I recall back in 2005 I went through 4-5 improperly packaged boxes of glass items that arrived smashed. Each time Amazon claimed that the issue was fixed and the next one would be property packaged, yet they always arrived improperly packaged and smashed. I eventually just gave up.

This sorta thing has been a problem for a long time.
My workstation is set up like this, with one giant LVM pool for storage and two GPUs, it gives a few advantages:

* Can run two OS at one time, each with half the resources
* Can run one with full resources if needed
* Can have multiple linux and windows installs
* Can have snapshots of installs
* Takes around 5-10 seconds to swap one of the running installs for a different install
* Can run headless VMs on a core or two while doing all the above, ie a test runner or similar service if needed

I use a 49" ultrawide with PBP, have one GPU connected to each side, so the booted installs automatically appear side to side, and Synergy to make mouse movement seamless, etc, etc

It took a little work to set up, but I've worked this way for ~ 3 years now and never had to think about the setup after the initial time investment, and during upgrades. Highly recommend it.

I definitely can see the advantage for a small team for having a single large machine with multiple GPUs, and letting them sit at a thin workspace and "Check out" whatever install they want to use, how much CPU power and RAM they need, etc, clone and duplicate installs and get a copy with their personal files in home, ready to go, and can check out larger slices of the machine when they have more CPU/GPU intensive tasks, that's probably my ideal office machine, after using my solo workstation for a while
> Imagining legislative text as if it were software code

As a software developer with a political science degree and some legal education, you basically shouldn't do this.

Legislators and executives are even less like engineers in intended function than legal text is like software code.

Why isn't Trump talking to Elon Musk? Because he has NASA.

NASA has a proven record of human and machine space exploration. It put men in space 60 years ago. It put men on the moon and returned them all safely before Musk was born. Despite its second mover advantage, SpaceX has never put a human in space and the only celestial body it has managed to land on is earth.

Granted, SpaceX is good at cheaply delivering Tang to the ISS and shooting sports cars into space. But NASA is currently actually exploring the solar system. It's got robots on Mars, probes going to the belt, the sun and every planet in the solar system and many of their moons. Its got Hubble pointing at the universe and dozens of billion dollar satellites pointing at earth. Send a manned space ship into earth orbit, land it back in Florida and then reused it? Been there, done that. 30 years ago. Good God, it has even got a probe that has left the solar system and is currently flying through interstellar space.

If you want your stock hyped to impossible valuations call Musk. But if you want to explore space call NASA.

The seller of the boxes could fix this by putting an outer wrapping on the boxes to which they affix the label so that there was no way for the label to stay on the box.
very true, by the time falcon heavy launched it was more of a novelty than anything else. I'm surprised it wasn't scrapped entirely and the effort redirected to BFR.
I'm actually being serious about this. Hopefully others are worried about the trend to discriminate against bots.

If corporations can have personhood rights, why can't non-human agents?
No, the original people in spotify are the people behind this push into podcasts (see last season of the gimlet podcast Startup). It started from when they saw how german use of spotify exploded as publishers put audiobooks on spotify.
I actually disagree in both directions. Have you played or coached many sports? I have, and I'm not trying to be an asshole with the question, but it just seems so clearly untrue to me that I wonder if you haven't or if we're somehow talking about different things. For some sports/positions, you can become 95th percentile even with below average athleticism, and for others it's essentially impossible even if you have average or even slightly-above-average athleticism. It's all on a spectrum depending on how reliant that sport or position is on innate vs trainable attributes.

Let me know if you disagree with any of these, or if you think the examples I'm choosing are not within the scope of your argument:
-No matter how much you drill, you will never be a 95th percentile center in basketball if you're 5'8" or whatever the average male height is.
-Slightly further down the innate vs. trainable spectrum, I have never seen an average athlete become even close to a 95th percentile sprinter, long jumper, football wide receiver, or soccer winger. Speed is too important for these, and speed is largely innate.
-I have seen below-average athletes become 95th percentile power lifters, football linemen, archers, grapplers, climbers, long distance swimmers, etc. That's because these sports/positions depend on more trainable attributes like strength, flexibility, endurance, technique, and mental focus/resilience.
I didn’t press but it was along the lines of “everyone uses Intel” and surely would have ended with “no one was ever fired for choosing IBM”.

In reality with AMD, the cost was better, the ram/bus was faster, I liked the specs and options of the 7xxx vs the 7xx series better.

They couldn’t give me a reason not to chose AMD, only that “Dell always uses Intel for a reason”
It would be better than the unpaid labor we have to do for Captcha.
Or, hear me out, let's add the space flight knowledge to the existing talmud.
It helps a lot. I remember a speech by someone in YC, where the only thing you do early on is improve the product and talk to users. After that things like mentors, hiring, strategy, growth, etc, helps. But there's a reason that bullet point 1 is 1.
Maybe this is inconvenient for developers, but as a user, it feels awesome to know that the browser is technically capable of doing something, and does it when I ask, not at the behest or limitation of the PiP API. You know YouTube/Google would put this feature of my browser behind a Premium paywall.

So much of the modern web is "run your code on my computer," so this feels nice, where the browser is my tool to browse the web.
I think he came up at a time when departments had staff to work with faculty. Of course when one reaches his level of fame, funding comes without asking.

One downside of our computerized society is that people now have to do things because the tools supposedly exist for everything to be self serve. It marginalize the skills and talents of those who provided those valuable services in the past.
Are you trying to tell me that in the era of Boston Dynamics' Spot Mini and Waymo/Tesla Autopilot we couldn't come up with robots capable of building space infrastructure for us?
In the beginning of last year, I felt buried in information and I ended up unsubscribing from just about everything.

I now follow a handful of great curators instead. It's probably the best thing I did last year to find more signal online.

My favorite is Stew's Letter: https://stewfortier.com/subscribe

It's a short email that comes out every week or so and includes a funny/entertaining collection of ideas across a broad range of topics.

It has very few external links and can be read in one sitting, which means I end up actually reading it.

David Perell sends out a similar email that I also enjoy (though, there are more links): https://www.perell.com/newsletter

He’s the customer (or she). If he doesn’t want the wrong item that was shipped, amazon should accept the return. I know this is HN but now this dudes gotta figure out what to do with a 12K server does he use it? Does he toss it? How much does it cost to dispose of a server like that. Maybe he donates it. I don’t know but he didn’t ask for it the trouble. It’s not like he won the lottery for $12K.

The customer asked for one thing but the company delivered something else. Don’t make your customers deal with your mistake.
Yeah the fragmenting has started, more and more spotify exclusive podcasts/ podcast episodes are making their way onto the platform.

I recently listened an episode to ELT (Every Little Thing, a gimlet podcast) where they embedded a survey into spotify. Seems like an omen for things to come.

My major qualm in the short term is that the spotify app doesn't do a good job separating music and podcasts.
Show HN: Ethics-as-a-Service Etiq.ai
And a third Tidal and a fraction of album sales. They are the worst-paying of the major music streaming services.
they should hold a press conference and get a reporter to ask about the possibility of SpaceX getting to the moon. Then they respond laughing saying "those amateurs? look, this is NASA, the big boys not some techies with a website". Then just get some coffee and wait.

we'd be back on the moon by 2023.
Java devs love OpenJDK, Jenkins, IntelliJ Oracle, not so much
I'm sure this is a valid point, but I think it is overemphasized.

Much of that tribal knowledge would have been very esoteric and focused on technologies that are no longer critical. for example, fabricating magnetic core memory. I'm sure some of the required skill is gone, but we don't need to use that memory technology anymore.
spotify has also decided to say editorially independent from podcast making, just look at Gimlet
Maybe it's the paper? I have a Lamy with a fine nib and it's amazing. I mostly use decent printer paper, but coarse paper like a typical composition book is not so great.
There’s actually laws regarding stuff sent to you in error. Basically, they can’t ask you to return it unless you offer. Hence why there’s probably no formalized process for it.
It’s just a library that allows easier development of C++ servers in the synchronous, thread-per-requests style, similar to working in Go but a bajillion times better because it’s not in Go.

This is why you _always_ write:

Yes, but CIFS was a rebranding of SMB1; successive versions of SMB have just been called SMB. So first there was SMB, and then CIFS, and then (and now) it's all been just SMB. The only ones still using the term "CIFS" at this point are the Linux/Samba folks.
I mostly ate cotton candy when it was a once-per-year event at the local fair and involved watching them make it beforehand. It was magical and a large part of the thrill was the "cool" factor of "You can do that?" which we seem somewhat inured to today, what with there being so much more that is both spectacular and prosaic at the same time.

Cell phones

Space flight

Air travel

Modern medical miracles

And then cotton candy became something you buy off the shelf at Kmart or whatever and it pretty much ruined the magic of it. I ate a few because I could, but it really wasn't the same.

The value of cotton candy was never the chance to eat something sugary. It was the chance to eat something magical that belonged in faerie tales, something that seemed like it shouldn't exist because it was a food that was mostly air and seemingly defied physics.

Cotton candy was food for thought. It was food for a young child's imagination. Tasting it was such a minor element of the whole thing.

We've grown jaded.
Why have one manned space program when you can have three for 3x cost.
While I agree with you, they still sent out the correct item.
They are certainly trying to pivot.

Yep, this plus Hamachi is my personal streaming server.
“In 30 years from now everything will probably be 512 bit and flying cars, right?”
I hate it too, but I can't completely fault them. Companies need to be profitable, and the pricing race to the bottom means they can hardly increase individual pricing, which in turn force them to exploit other directions.
I have a friend who ordered one USB cable (not from Amazon, but one of the Chinese companies) for a few dollars, and received a crate of 500. The seller said the same thing, noting that it would cost more to have them shipped back. He tried somewhat unsuccessfully to sell them locally, then just gave them away to everyone he knew (including me).

I guess the way things tend to be is that if you order online, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win...
Yeah uhhh... having lived in below poverty level, Fuck that noise. I’m a us citizen so if I lose my job I’m pretty much fucked either way.
Great episode with Schmidhuber on Lex Fridman’s podcast.

I’m coming at this from a career in infosec, never heard of the guy but really enjoyed his thought processes.
Not really?

Especially in an era where you had to literally write things down versus throwing in a link to a slack message onto a Jira ticket somewhere (Which no one will ever read anyway since text search in Jira sucks)

Also its worth emphasizing that a lot of the actual physics regarding like rocket combustion was not understood so the design process had elements of "make a rocket engine that satisfies some generic constraints and we can figure out the black magic parts such as POGO". Not that useful to write down.
My side-project (https://kopi.cloud) can help with a lot of items from the article's list of stuff for email.

It started life as another "email burner service" - but for a weekend hack, I implemented "Email to RSS" functionality, and now it's a must-have piece of functionality for me.

Here's my process:
- hand out a unique Kopi address to a services
- block the address from delivering to my inbox and tell Kopi to publish the emails as RSS
- subscribe to the feed with an RSS reader (my preference is https://inoreader.com/)

I do this for a ton of stuff (linked-in, stack-overflow, newletters, etc.)
This should be configurable through systemd config itself then. I'm also against adding any $HOME clutter.
> Spotify managed to make musicians abismimal returns, why would it work any differently for podcasts?

There needs to be some reason for podcasts to move from where they are currently to Spotify. That reason is generally more listeners, more money or both.
(I'm a VC)

First step is figuring out how much you need to raise and who the appropriate investors are. If it's tens of thousands or low hundreds of thousands of dollars, that can be from angel investors. If it's closer to a million or more, that's typically seed funds.

Once you figure out whether to target angel investors or seed funds, you can find prospective investors on AngelList, NFX Signal, etc. This selection is based on what sectors investors say they invest in, or if they've invested in companies that are similar to yours but not competitive, etc.

Once you find specific people you want to reach out to, warm intros are the most effective if you happen to know people in common. If you don't, cold emails work if you can write a good email -- but that's a numbers game. You might have to send out 30 or 40 emails to get 5 or 10 replies, but it's a start.

The main thing to keep in mind as you're fundraising is that the further along you are and the more compelling your pitch, the easier it is to get investors. And once you get commitments from the first few angel or fund investors, they will introduce you to many more prospective investors.
Most isn't the word I would choose when I consider the audience of this article.
That sounds like mail fraud - and you could get prosecuted by the feds for that. Not something I recommend trying, especially in the US.
I'm kind of curious why Canonical don't simultaneously release a non-LTS release at the same time as the LTS release, to continue the flow of non-LTS releases. It seems like it'd make gearing up for the "LTS + 6mo" non-LTS release easier. Plus, then there'd be a clear non-LTS release to attribute any backported update packages to (that show up before they cut the "LTS + 6mo" non-LTS release.)

No. They want people to listen to more podcasts and less music
That's true.

Manned programs provide more money to important voter blocs.
They have to do the same thing because Apple will otherwise eat their lunch. It looks like platforms have to monopolize and then engage in rent-seeking to thrive, or even survive, in this industry. That's everyone's playbook now.
The governor is a predominantly executive (not legislative) branch, and people know that when they elect a governor. What if a sysadmin could deploy half the API endpoints in a piece of software? Seems like a bad idea, right?

So called sweeteners are often necessary to create good policy. Often a policy will be overall good for a population but slightly bad for a large group of people (e.g. free trade). There needs to be a way to compensate those negatively affected (e.g. through reeducation programs). If a governor can selectively pass free trade but leave out the part of the deal that made it palatable, they completely change the law and screw over tons of people.

Oh, and progressive taxation is a great way to eat the rich. Fuck the state and fuck capital, we will destroy anything that stands in the way of democracy.

Sangoma to revoke Clearly IP’s FreePBX module signing key
>They are the digital equivalent of HAM radio operators

this isn't really accurate any more. A lot of podcasts these days, in particular, the ones Spotify seems to pick up, are professionally produced audio dramas or documentaries that come with significant cost.

Look at some of the more popular ones like Homecoming with Oscar Isaac, Blackout with Rami Malek or Carrier with Cynthia Erivo, those guys and the teams behind it don't work for free.

>“Dell always uses Intel for a reason”

Which is just as likely to be more to do with commercial arm twisting and incentives from Intel than anything technical.
I would say that I am adequately experienced, and I also share GP's opinion. I don't think the lack of experience is the issue here.
$0.50 an hour only amounts to 200 hours of gaming for the price of a rig capable enough to play games at qualities that are going to be streamed. That plus $0 for Hamachi ($50/year if you need more than 5 computers on the network) works pretty well. I've tried Paperspace, and the performance was about the same. I will say that the Shadow streaming service I thought was superior to all other options I tried, but also far more expensive for not enough of a difference.
I don't want all of the podcast recommendations on the homepage and search results.
You're witnessing etymology in work:

- the mechanism is about the same: the video stays in the corner

- the term ‘picture in picture’ is already familiar to people, from TVs

...so the term is generalized. Happens a lot. If the feature gets popular and the term sticks around, decades later people might search the web for ‘why is it called PiP when it's not what it does’. We can even imagine that zero videos may be involved by then (though unlikely―there are other terms for that.)
