Modern pop is more generic because the song you hear in the recording is not really played on real instruments or sang by a real person. The samples that were used to create it might have been, but they've been completed deconstructed and then reassembled in ProTools.

Even considering the stuff that Queen did for tracks like Bohemian Rhapsody where they used dozens of layered tracks isn't really the same thing. They used that layering to create a sound that wasn't possible, otherwise. But the tracks themselves were made from recording real people playing real instruments.

Modern pop, in comparison, is just about commoditization, slapping out a track at as little cost as possible. Everything gets lined up on a rigid beat grid, neutering any texture or feel in the song.

Rick Beato has a great video on what exactly is going on and why there actually is a significant difference with "post-ProTools" pop from previous years. https://youtu.be/L-8EbHkc8tc
I recently dropped my last shared hosting in favor of Vercel/Netlify and some content was lost. This solution wouldn’t work for me because the very reason why the content was lost is that I don’t want to pay for hosting I barely use.

A better solution would be an intermediary part that never changes — say, CloudFlare — that caches HTML pages forever, automatically adds a “Archived content” header to the page, and warns the author so that they can either allow the archived version or make it a 404/410 instead.

Nobody wants to maintain servers forever, but serving static/frozen pages is much easier and cheaper.

Looting is a reasonable form of protest? George Floyd’s death is horrific, and I pray justice is served, but communities cannot be destroyed in pursuit of that justice.

Some of this reminds me of Koreatown during the LA riots.

I think it’s reasonable that a community would defend itself when attacked, but when the National Guard is purposed for that protection, why shouldn’t they be called in?

Airflow is an incredibly powerful framework to use in production, but a little unweildy for anything else.

You can use something like Kedro (https://github.com/quantumblacklabs/kedro) to get started building pipelines with pure Python functions. Kedro has its own pipeline visualiser and also has an Airflow plugin that can automatically help you generate airflow pipelines from Kedro pipelines.

> The phrase was used by Miami's police chief, Walter Headley, in 1967, when he addressed his department's "crackdown on ... slum hoodlums," according to a United Press International article from the time.

> Headley, who was chief of police in Miami for 20 years, said that law enforcement was going after “young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. ... We don't mind being accused of police brutality."

This is where the quote comes from.

Our President fully understands the gravity of those words. This is what he wanted to say. This is what he meant. This is what he believes. This is WHO HE IS.

Start by splitting it up into parts, each document not to contain more than 5-10 pages, then enable "limit formatting to a selection of styles" (anyone who disables this is to suffer the ordeal of the boats). Once everything is the way you want it, copy everything to a new place, add a master document and set the styles as you want. The export to PDF, publish or whatever you want.

If you want it truly beautiful, use a DTP and don't format the word documents at all.
One way to get around this is to use Kedro https://github.com/quantumblacklabs/kedro, which is the most minimal possible pipeline interface, yet allows you to export to other pipeline formats and/or build your own exporters.
I am working on the skills tag such that anyone can filter based on that single tag. I was 50/50 on the $ amount but given that it works as a filter for recruiters I left it there. This also serves another purpose of sort of anonymously letting other people know what a rate for certain role is in the market which will help them better negotiate with potential employers.

How many beats do you expect there to be?

I mean, most popular music is in 4/4 time, some of it is in 3/4 time. You have some oddball songs like "Solsbury Hill" is 7/4 time.

Reggae is an interesting one: it's four beats to a bar like 4/4 time but often they don't play the one beat at all. It comes out like: _ 2 3' 4 _2 3' 4

This is called the one drop rhythm. I'm glad most of reggae is one drop, it gives it a laid back 'cut time' sort of feel.

Be more careful who you hop into "bed" with.

Ideally, cofounders should be childhood friends.

Give them a chance to explain, dig into the allegations, and reach your own conclusion. >50% probably true, walk-away.. and if too many other people believe similarly, you should consider walking-away if they're not your long-term friend because your reputation would be at risk as well.

Money isn't worth more than integrity, or the proper maintenance of also seeming to possess integrity as well, unless they can be neutered with a contract.

If you stay and they are confirmed, you may have lashed yourself to a bomb who is more liability than asset. Remember that most startups fall-apart because of founder squabbles, and some loose-cannon founder acting like they're out of the 1950's causing 2020's HR problems without an HR department, which is probably going to fall on your head to make right. So don't do that.

One consideration is to make them sign a contract that they forfeit all of their current and future vestable equity to the other founders equally if they are found to engage in such substantiated behavior with employees. If they are so great and necessary to success, reign them in and manage them wisely.
I think you could argue the authority level difference between the president and Dr. Dre means something.
I've been quite happy with the following pattern:

- Encapsulate your business logic in microservices and expose ETL actions with APIs.

- Call your microservices using Airflow.

That way my Airflow jobs are very lightweight (they only call https APIs) and only contain logic of when doing things, not how. All the core business logic for a specific domain lives in a single container that can be tested and deployed independently.

Doing ETL using Airflow jobs exclusively or Lambda would spread business logic and make it a nightmare to test and reason about.
The people in authority are responsible for maintaining a stable, peaceful society, where police don't kill people for no reason and hooligans don't run around smashing things. When the peace is broken, they can't push it off onto other people. They've failed, and the responsibility for that failure lies wholly with them.

I also agree that we can't blame the hooligans; I don't think the kind of person who burns down a police station has a sufficient moral compass to be blamed. But that doesn't diminish the need to urgently stop them.
Ask HN: My company is being acquired. How can I maximize my upside as an IC?
The startup I work at is getting acquired. Unfortunately management won't (can't?) share anything but vague details. My main concern given the timing is that the valuation will be low and what's left of my equity will be eaten up by investor liquidation preference. Not sure there's much that can be done at this point, but I'm interested to get people's advice, both for what I can do now and for what I could have done earlier.

Will companies tell you what stock is actually worth at different valuations when you join? This seems like far more valuable information than the valuation as of the last round.

Can you negotiate with the acquirer for a retention plan? Unfortunately, as an individual the power balance is very much not in my favor. Has anything like a pop-up union ever been used to get a seat at the table on behalf of the employees?

This is very interesting to watch unfold in real-time.

I find it fascinating the President of the United States is ranting about 1st Amendment violations with regards to a private business. Pretty sure there is nothing in the 1st Amendment that says he is guaranteed the right to tweet.

I hope Twitter takes this a step further the next time he violates their ToS and gives his account a 48 hour suspension.

I understand why Trump is picking this fight but I can't help but feel Twitter hold the power. Sure Trump has been a big driving factor in Twitter really hitting mainstream but I would be surprised if he was still adding huge value to the platform. If anything banning Trump would be the biggest thing to ever happen to Twitter as he wouldn't let it go.

However I can't see a way for Trump to win such a fight. It could go all the way to the SCOTUS but if they sided against Twitter it would affect literally every big social media platform in the US which I can't see happening.

Zooming all the way out I don't see why Twitter really care about such a fight as there is no way Google and Facebook (to name just two) would let things go against Twitter as it would be devastating to them as well.
"Imposing free movement" I thought that was what your were saying? I said they tried to continue free movement and you objected it was a paternal not fraternal policy which I thought you were saying suggesting it was imposed rather than given as I said? And again you seem to me to be agreeing with me. There was free movement in the empire and after it ended the UK continued it for several decades before giving up and joing Europe? Which I posted to contrast with the original parent post that seemed to suggest that the UK left everyone trapped after the end of empire. So why are we in disagreement? Escapes me. But hey ho. Divided by a common language I guess.

Oh and gave it a go as in gave letting everyone in the old empire continue to be able to come to UK a go.

I mean I can't even get (all) my USB audio gear to work properly on Linux, at all. For example system settings on Ubuntu Studio misinterpret anything with more than 2 channels as a surround device. But that's OK because the hardware manufacturer has advised they don't support Linux for their proprietary device management software because "widely used standard" like class compliant USB audio is not sufficient for their use case.

And I've been burned enough times by OS upgrades that I know to be cautious. I'm not saying the situation is good, just that it's a shitshow everywhere. I got around a dozen emails from my device and software vendors telling me not to use Catalina, so I'm not yearning to go out and buy a new Mac to run my software on and connect my hardware to it. I'll shit on Macs for that, but under the hood, CoreAudio is much more impressive than anything on Windows or Linux.

I'm also on the other* side of the Atlantic from this circus, but a little googling over lunch led me to the "Brandenburg Test" for when "Inciting violence" is no longer protected by the 1A. (NB: 1A is an entirely different subject than Twitter's TOS, which I addressed in the original thread)

Briefly: speech which both incites imminent lawless action and is likely to produce such action fails to be protected as US "free speech".

In this case, my IANAL analysis would be that the tweet had imminent application, but would be unlikely to produce action,

The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga was a book I enjoyed that might help your sister. While it may not specifically address "young adult anxiety", it certainly addresses the topic indirectly from various angles.

Here's the description from Amazon [0]:
"The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness. The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you."

Yes, this seems to be yet another tool that falls prey to what I think of as "The Bisquick Problem". Bisquick is a product that is basically pre-mixed flour, salt, baking powder that you can use to make pancakes, biscuits, and waffles. But why would you buy this instead of its constituent parts? Does Bisquick really save that much time? Is it worth the loss of component flexibility?

Worst of all, if you accept Bisquick, then you open the door to an explosion of Bisquick options. Its a combinatorial explosion of pre-mixed ingredients. In a dystopian future, perhaps people stop buying flour or salt, and the ONLY way you can make food is to buy the right kind of Bisquick. Might make a kind of mash up of a baking show and Black Mirror.

Anyway, yeah, Airflow (and so many other tools) feel like Bisquick. It has all the strengths, but also all the weaknesses, of that model.
> Does anyone realize just how hard it is to get even $20k in funding for a hard working honest founder who is not a psychopathic manipulator

It isn't that hard to get $20k in funding if your idea is halfway decent - that's not the value that YC provides. The value that YC provides is in the networking and connections, which I think a lot of people would argue is worth far more than the money.

> anybody who can't setup a functional profitable business with $20k funding is unfit to run any company

Not quite. Good luck setting up a profitable hardware business with $20k of funding, tooling costs alone are going to dwarf your seed capital.
The mere exposure effect means that merely being exposed to something cause us to prefer it almost automatically.

So if you hear "Rockstar" a bit more than the other songs, then you start to prefer it. It's like the olds saying in radio: If they don't like a song now, just keep playing it till they love it.
Interesting (and in the list). Reading the documentation looks like the only other format it allows to be exported is Airflow, isn't it?

Performance seemed the same in my case, but I finally managed to completely remove Google 3rd party scripts from my site (no more GA, Google Fonts or Google Tag Manager).

This all seems contradictory.

Personnaly, using Python, I go for Celery (www.celeryproject.org): it's a persistant daemon that can run tasks, provide queues and shedule work like cron .

A lot of people prefer Python-RQ, as it seems simpler, but the truth is you can start using celery with just the file system for storing tasks and result:

https://www.distributedpython.com/2018/07/03/simple-celery-s...

If your needs grow, you can plug it to redis, rabbit MQ and/or a database later.

It can expose an API so that other languages can talk to it and trigger tasks or retrieve results (but not write tasks, they must be in python).
