> You are not required to do that. Use nouveau, buy an AMD or intel GFX card.

Has internet discussion really fallen this low that all needs to be spelled out and no context can ever be implied?

We're in a thread about NVidia, so of course OP's talking about NVidia hardware here. Yeah, they can get AMD, but that does not change their (valid) criticisms of NVidia one bit.

> I don't really understand the entitlement here. None of the drivers on my windows and macosx machines are open source. They are all binary blobs.

Aaand?

Windows and macOS have different standard for drivers than many Linux users do. Is it really that surprising that users who went with an open-source operating system find open-source drivers desirable too?

I find it really weird to assume that because something is happening somewhere, it's some kind of an "objective fact of reality" that has to be true for everyone, everywhere.

When you shop for things, are you looking for certain features in a product? Would you perhaps suggest in a review that you'd be happier if a product had a certain feature or that you'd be more likely to recommend it?

It's the same thing. NVidia is not some lonely developer on GitHub hacking during their lunch break on free software.

Do you also assume that the kind of music you find interesting is objectively interesting for everyone?

This has nothing to do with entitlement. It's listing reasons for why someone thinks NVidia buying ARM is a bad idea.
I think there is also the impression that, even if china has not already been leaning on TikTok, if they ever did TikTok would necessarily relent. Whereas in the US we have examples of companies (e.g. apple) denying requests from the Feds.

Now I'm not saying this is necessarily true, but I think that is where the concern is coming from.
> Close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives, the study revealed. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline

I call bs, selection bias. If something bad happens, the "close relationship" ends faster than you can say "divorce".

If you manage to maintain close relationship way into retirement, yiu are very lucky. Of course you will be in great shape.
The opposite thing is true; people have wildly inflated expectations of how much money marginal bugs like XSS can earn, or even game-over bugs in marginally important applications. And if you're doing the financial comparison, as you note, you have to do it risk-weighted. Your intuitions about the risk of exploiting a vulnerability are likely heavily biased by the fact that most exploitation, or at least most of the exploitation you hear about, is non-monetary. Monetizing an exploit ratchets the risk up significantly.
Nice, thanks for that link!

What it ends up doing is incentivizing artists to create songs like this: https://play.google.com/store/music/artist/The_Very_Very_Awe...

I read somewhere that the artist behind this discovered that the streaming songs he made the most from were songs that were apparently requested by random small child requests so he created a whole bunch of songs for just that purpose and makes the bulk of his income through that. Discovery on the streaming services is awful and the renumeration for indie artists is also awful. It's the worst of all possible worlds.

For example, are they allowed to offer board/executive position to Zhang Yiming (original owner of Bytedance)?

People still listen to Metallica's music, and their music still ends up in movies.

I don't really think all new music is bad, just most of it. The same could be said for back in the day though. Metallica is a bad example for you to use cause they are still widespread because they are really good. There are other bands you haven't heard of from the 70s and 80s.

The courts have historically ruled on the press's right to name accused minors:

A few points:

- rhetoric about loving your job tends to come from a very small minority of people who do not have an absolutely mind-, body-, and soul-crushing job. Rich people like to talk about working at Wendy’s as some sort of “introductory” or “transitional” job, but this is not the case. And on top of the job itself being awful, then you get to go home and worry about the fact that you don’t have any money. There is something to be said for having a sense of Zen at work, since that will make it less miserable, but the strange capitalist utopia where everyone is whistling at work is probably a long way off.

- “relationships” are more than just with your spouse. What about your friends, roommates, relatives, children, neighbors, baristas, janitors, etc. I don’t count coworkers because I believe that a work environment tends to inculcate a sense of competition and scarcity among people which is the opposite of what good relationships are made of. It is so important to have at least a few people in your life that would be there for you even if you didn’t have a fancy job or nice things, because one day you might not have those things and then where will you be?

New Technologies for the Future
Kanye West was the first big artist I know to really utilize The new release model to break out of the old formula of releasing an album and then it’s done.

It was fascinating when Life of Pablo was released on Spotify and over the next few months was given continuous updates and patches, like it had been software.

Really proves the old proverb that great art never is finished, it’s abandoned...
As a musician and programmer I find the bar to make money on apps way way lower than on music. Being a good programmer brings you much closer to making money on an app than being a good musician does to get a record out. For one you don't need luck, money and the right contacts to release an app. It isn't even in the same ballpark IMHO. Pro musician is closer to "race driver" than "viral app creator".
The implication of that would be nothing less than a collapse of multiple tech giants. Ad money, redirected from old media, subsidizes a content economy from which all of them, even apple benefits.
Well, Skype the brand was botched, but Skype is basically what powers Microsoft Teams now. Which is widely successful due to it being bundled with Microsoft 365 (also Teams is pretty decent compared to the comp).
Yep. This isn't Fake News. It's Misinformation for reasons we can only speculate.
Ah, I remember when Hughes showed up at the O'Reilly P2P conference looking for killer apps for their satellite router. (They ended up using it as a dumb pipe for DirecTV HD channels.)

It doesn’t fit the narrative a lot of people expect or want to believe but it’s probably true.
This is just as viable as selling stolen diamonds to fund your defense for robbing a jewelry store.

It turns out that the legal system is already set up to make “selling illegally obtained material” also illegal, and to take notice of people doing so in order to fund their ongoing operations.

I really only listen to whole albums. Especially Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Mac DeMarco, Lana Del Ray, Fleer Foxes, St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, and on. Those type of artists won’t change because of whatever the Spotify CEO believes. There is still a place for thoughtfully-crafted full albums and they’ll continue to exist.
This is a such a clickbait title. Here I thought Spotify was requiring musicians to require more frequently, when all he meant was that if you release once every 3-4 years you're not going to see good results.
Multiple people already have posted alternative links in the comments. Use those, and note that this kind of complaint is off-topic according to the site rules.

How is a random static marketing website for a corporation supposed to put itself into a position where it accepts community translations? How would you vet said translations before going live with them (which would be mandatory) given that you don't speak the language?

And who in the world would volunteer their labor for free to do said translations?
Author here, I discuss aspects of this in the "Economies of Scale" section - if you're existentially dependent on a supplier, that supplier has leverage to squeeze you hard.

The counterforce will be development of similar algos by AWS, Google, and others; and OpenAI's personal balance of volume vs prices. OpenAI has a monopoly now but it won't in a year or two; I'm sure they're planning for this.
Although I agree, I'm a little surprised the "true hacker" community hasn't adopted an alternative title to distinguish themselves.
Microsoft Is Said to Be in Talks to Buy TikTok in U.S.
It would take nothing less than a from-scratch rewrite to achieve a high degree of confidence that all backdoors have been eliminated from the TikTok codebase. I hope Microsoft is up for that.

It may make sense if you consider it more as a marketing hire. Such a person at least has potential for future interviews and talks one could leverage for increasing company visibility.

Not good for Microsoft is more like it; reminds me of the attempted Yahoo acquisition.

Microsoft is a platform company; they do not "get" social media or user engagement (e.g. MSN, which has sputtered on feebly for years) so they'll wind up tanking TikTok for sure.

I think the point was that game development is an inherently stateful domain, which ECS recognizes (if anything, ECS is more stateful than OOP, not less). In contrast, using a pure FP language would probably create a lot of friction with many common styles and even algorithms used in games programming (think about how ugly and out of place actual quicksort looks in Haskell).

Or, you know, our mainstream media exclusively broadcasting videos without contextualization of white police officers killing black men to the country and ignoring all other racial configurations of violence in order to stoke racial tension.
But targeted advertising is expensive because it is controlled by 2 companies alone. OTOH untargeted advertising is much cheaper, with tons of unmonetized inventory, however there doesn't seem to be much willingness to take up on that.

Kinda, yeah.

I think it's a little sad that you can't write some great software that solves a problem for people and get paid for it anymore. Or at least not as easily as in the past.

The changing business model has a lot of negative externalities, too. Like the temptation to monetize user data instead of monetizing the value of the software directly, and the temptation to push the line on privacy.
There is a musician equivalent of app creator. Where do you think music in TV shows, movies and YouTube comes from. A human musician creates it. Atleast for now...
Spotify isn't saying that if an artist doesn't put out material every 3 months they'll be de-ranked. That's absolutely not the idea here. What they're saying is that in the current climate, you have to fight for attention, and rapid, small releases achieve that.

A quick check of Dawn of Solace's Spotify page and tour schedule shows me that they're active but probably not making full-time jobs out of this. And that's absolutely fine. They're doing their thing and probably enjoying it.

The article is saying that to be profitable and relevant, you're going to have to put out more frequent, smaller, rapidly-digestible bits of music. This was a model I applied regularly to death metal and hardcore bands that I worked with during my time in the industry and I can tell you right now- _it works_.

It's weird that Musk's didn't have elevated privileges. Trump's account getting hacked has obviously greater potential harm, but Musk's (non-hacked) tweets had demonstrably major financial and legal impact. And if you read the replies to his tweets, you can see they are constantly getting spammed by bitcoin-hawking accounts (even hacked verified accounts) impersonating Musk's display name and avatar.

If Musk didn't get elevated privileges, then who else besides Trump would have them? Or are the protections for Trump just the same emergency bespoke fix that they implemented when his account was previously deleted?
What's the Canonical's response to this? Surely, they care about their customer base, right?
What you brought up above in this thread is how expensive the acquisition looks as a multiple of earnings. That multiplier is the price of the company vs the earnings for the company, which is literally just a simplified P/E ratio that ignores dilution etc. You may be thinking of revenue multiple based valuation instead?
I like the theory behind app architecture, but I haven't seen a complex design pattern work well in practice (unless the team is small, and everyone has a solid understanding of how it works).

I worked on a mobile app once that really tried to force one of the fancier design patterns — it required something like six files to handle one screen (because, of course, it's best practice to separate your view, view model, controller, etc.) However, a good part of the org didn't understand the nuances of what code should go where, and found it absurdly tedious to manage all of these files to build one minor screen. Velocity plummeted.

I think a good design pattern allows you to scale as complexity increases. Let folks start simple, then provide a clear path to a consistent design pattern that handles more complexity as it's needed.
If Russia (or China) becomes militarily superior to America I would consider that the end of the free world as we know it.

As of right now America's capabilities in every domain are vastly superior and I hope it remains so.

Again you believe that America's and other countries' nuclear capability is essentially the same and nuclear war means total destruction for everybody. I don't believe that.

I think Russia wouldn't dare because they would simply lose.

If you look at the history of Soviet propaganda with regards to nuclear, they often promoted these ideas of total destruction. Say back in the day they promoted the (now mostly discredited) concept of "nuclear winter". Russia actively wants Western fear and disarmament because that's the only way they can be "strong".

There is no alternative to an arms race. Russia and China won't simply become beautiful peace loving countries overnight if America slacks off. If anything assures nuclear war it's America being weak.

Plus you're assuming some perfect rationality where Russia (or some other country) couldn't possibly just launch an attack for a stupid reason. It's always a possibility. You want to try to win in that situation too. Under MAD you're just hoping it won't happen.

Sure, here are a couple examples:

http://deepskystacker.free.fr/english/userguide.htm

https://www.astronomie.be/registax/index.html

There are a few use cases/reasons to put telescope observatories on earth.

One reason is because it's cheap enough for hobbyists. An ordinary enthusiast can go out in their backyard and point a couple hundred dollars worth of gear at the sky and get shockingly gorgeous images with little more than a webcam and a cheap scope. Software like what I linked above can help remove satellites from those images. Post-processing of images is a (nearly) cost-free but complexity-expensive way to remove noise, distortion, and other artifacts from the images produced by cheap gear, might as well remove satellites while you're at it!

The second reason is because it's cheap enough for scientists and students. A few universities have their own observatories. They're abundantly aware that not only satellites but also air and light pollution get in the way of good seeing. There are all kinds of effort devoted to fixing the problems that air and light pollution cause, but the easiest fix is just to move the telescope. A university can contract time for its students with an observatory in a favorable location (low light pollution, clear skies, right latitude/hemisphere, high altitude, good seeing) and do science through that remote interface. These are, I think, the most important users to take care of with space-based telescopes. Maybe their Chilean observatory doesn't have the server hardware or network connection to do stacking and post-processing to remove satellites, and images taken by the old method of long exposure astrophotography are getting ruined by satellites. Time on a space-based telescope would, for many use-cases, be as good or better than time on a terrestrial observatory. And there are zero air or weather issues!

The third is because it's the only place where we can put telescopes of the required size for a particular imaging task. Maybe they're in an interferometric array, maybe they're 3+ meters in diameter, who knows. There are only a couple dozen telescopes in this category in the world, the few astronomers using these telescopes don't need HN commenters to point them to software to remove satellites!

I do acknowledge that processing for a hobbyist does increase the learning curve and reduce the raw awesomeness of the hobby a bit - "why not just go to nasa.gov and download someone else's preprocessed images" isn't the same as seeing something from your own backyard through nothing but a mirror and a piece of glass. I also acknowledge that there's a ton of money invested in terrestrial observatories, but everyone needs to keep up with the times.
There's no reason that this couldn't work via an online community. Online courses don't do anything to foster this kind of connection, because they have always been a lazy facsimile of the in-person college course experience. If they tried, online courses could easily foster these kinds of relationships and unlock a ton of potential.

I also think that this is a larger societal problem that should be but has not been addressed by social networking apps. There are no social networks that are designed to foster communication about highly specific ideas. Sure I can go to r/history to find people who are generally interested in history, but where can I go to find people who would be interested in book-clubbing G.J. Meyer's 'A World Undone'? If I want to talk about physics in general, I could go to /r/physics. But how do I find physicists who want to discuss matter-antimatter asymmetry? You can glom on to conversations in current social networks, but there is no way to start/find/subscribe to discussions about very specific subject matter.

Point being, rather than saying that the IRL personal interactions at college are a reason why the current model is ideal, we could do a lot of good by figuring out how to port that experience A) onto online courses, and B) onto the world at large.
I'd just like to take a second to appreciate that your example of a band with money is Rammstein. Rock on!
