I confess I didn't research it before asking but how does it withstand the attenuation due to bad weather, rain and storms. OK, at worst it should penetrate about 10 km of clouds and rains and an antenna on the ground could be farther away than that, but the source of the signal is at least 10 times more distant (100 times weaker for the same power?)
The constant nagging to "download the app" is worse. Notifications can be left off, for a website or an app - this constant install-app-nagging is unavoidable now.

It absolutely IS possible to add the feature, as opt-in like with app permissions, and e.g. with some user-initiated event like audio already does.

The REAL motivation here is money, forcing users to use the appstore, instead of the web which is an open protocol.
This is a book recommendation, not a chronologically-ordered list, but I found it helpful to round out my music appreciation and exposure:
'Every Song Ever: Twenty Ways to Listen in an Age of Musical Plenty' by Ben Ratliff

The book walks through musical concepts, one per chapter, and points to illustrative examples.

I've also found it interesting to check out top posts on these music appreciation/discovery subreddits:

Finding the music you like (#1) is the OP's challenge. In fact, it's every other music listeners challenge. The "particularly" you mention is also not as obvious: could be the rhythm, the lyrics, the melody, the voice or a mix of all different factors, most of which are subjective. Songs you may like could be spread out in a myriad of styles, origin or periods too. A lot of it is not discoverable right away using streaming services AI, a manual procedure or plain intuition.

But I agree it has more of "viceral" to it than anything else.

My advice to OP: find the radio stations, podcasts or playlists that tickle your fancy and just keep track of what you like as you listen.

OTOH, if you want a more historical approach, read about the music (or watch documentaries/tv shows) before you seek it out. That works for me when reaching out to music that are not on my radar. For instance, during the Xmas holidays I tend to read many Best Albums of YYYY lists, such as the Rolling Stone magazine one. That's how I found Amy Winehouse, Radiohead's In Rainbows among others that would have gone inadvertently for more time. I enjoy reading the "why I should listen to" part.

For others who thought this was a typo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis_pendens

>> "In United States law, a lis pendens is a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning real estate, involving either the title to the property or a claimed ownership interest in it. The notice is usually filed in the county land records office. Recording a lis pendens against a piece of property alerts a potential purchaser or lender that the property’s title is in question, which makes the property less attractive to a buyer or lender. Once the notice is filed, the legal title of anyone who nevertheless purchases the land or property described in the notice is subject to the ultimate decision of the lawsuit."

Les Mills on Demand. I did the Les Mills classes at the gym I was a member of, before the plague hit, and liked the fact that they change up the workout and music every couple of months. The instructors at the gym unofficially redid the workouts, using old individual tracks/workout-sets so I never got bored.

With streaming, they have (literally) dozens of workout routines, at various time lengths, in eight or ten categories of work out types (straight weights, cross-training, a few kinds of aerobics, yoga fusion, barre, dance, more I can't remember :-). So when I get bored with a particular routine, I can easily switch to another.

On the iPad, you can download the routine so you don't need to worry about stream buffering (which has never been an issue on other devices, but I have fairly fast internet service).

It's ~$11/month (buying three months at a time) subscription, and I spent about $180 or so in equipment, so it's similar to the outlay for your service.

Again, congratulations on the launch, quite interested to see what you do in the future!
Actually great idea. All this crazyness could go away in November.
The annoying part for me is I do use an app, and I'd love to open it. But I don't use Reddit's app, so the popup is worthless. If they had a way for me to pick the app to use, I'd happily open the redirects!
Guys, I am developing a new product called Lynkmark, where you can save, organize and share all links with your team in one searchable place.

Why Iam doing this?

As an entrepreneur, I am continuously looking for new inspiring ideas on product, marketing, process, design and almost everything and I always wanted to share them with my team, mostly I will share them in Slack. I am also using different medium like email, WhatsApp or Telegram to share the same links with other members.

But the problem is

How can I bring all the different set of team members to view my shared links?

How can I set permissions for each of my collections so that I can filter out links which are irrelevant for other team members?

To answer those questions

So We've decided to created this super useful tool for everyone who wants to collect, organize all useful links from the web and share them with their team in one centralized place.

Let me know your feedback on this idea.

> Locks are about keeping honest citizens honest.

No, locks are about making forcible entry easier than covert entry, so that your insurance company pays out. The primary function of the lock is tamper evidence. The secondary function is deterrence (easier to get into an unlocked place than a locked one). Actually preventing entry isn't the point for any but the strongest locks, and even then they only serve to delay entry.
This sounds like a great setup thanks for making me aware of Thes these tools; noteplan & kiwi
I have tried to explain this here, but they don't want to hear it, if it does not put climate change as the #1 reason. My daughter is in coral research, N:P is the poison, heat increases it's potency, without the N:P the heat alone does not bleach the coral. We see coral bleaching in all areas where agricultural sits above the wetlands and the runoff runs into the wetlands and then over the reefs. It's funny how Australia's wetlands and Florida's everglades are so similar, and sitting right above both of them is large sugar farms using tons of fertilizer pumping tons of N:P into the wetlands and then out and over the reef.

I just hope the variety of movements goes beyond those seen in the video. So far it really looks like a boxing simulator and the repetitiveness of the Kickstarter video doesn't give the impression of an exciting game (you might consider cutting it to half the duration).

Don't get me wrong, I think it is a great idea. I just wonder how much better it will be than Wii Sports and if you will even achieve those levels. For that to happen, your game must be addictive. In my experience, that works best if the player can build things within the game (think Stardew Valley/Minecraft, not character cosmetics).
Microcontrollers aren't really my thing, so this might not be a perfect fit, but: Elixir Nerves is an Elixir project/platform that targets embedded systems.

I think you're using the wrong words there. "High Impact" workouts in the fitness world mean they are harder on your joints and tendons (think crossfit/hiit vs low impact like spin cycles).

Since you aren't punching anything and you're not jerking your body around, I'd imagine this is more mid-impact?

Right. That makes sense. If it’s not a pan-EU problem then easing immigration restrictions across the EU won’t help. I wonder if they could be more creative, for example, allowing people to work in those countries with negative population growth but not the wealthier countries (e.g., Germany). Maybe after working in a poorer country for 5-10 years you earn the right to work anywhere in the EU.

But yes, investment in poorer countries also seems reasonable.
> I'm not sure what your point is. Unless you're claiming that cities spontaneously generate millionaires?

There's nothing “spontaneous” about it; millionaires don't just appear out of the ground, they arise through economic activity that is more concentrated in centers of trade and commerce, aka, cities.
The story of social networks depending on network effects alone is the story of Wile E Coyote going off a cliff; it works and until it suddenly doesn’t. Hey, remember Digg?

Reddit’s risk here is that there’s very little value to their back catalogue, since most users use it as a stream of new and novel things. So the only thing protecting reddit is that it’s still the main place people go to post funny videos and similar, which is much easier to move than their back catalog. The fact that video playback basically doesn’t work is a serious problem here.
I don't see anyone else mentioning this in the thread- I have used a mobile app called "rif is fun" (it used to be called 'Reddit Is Fun' before reddit forced the change).

I have used this app for like 7 years, it is fast, simple, and keeps the old style format. If you want to use reddit but don't want to use the garbage that their interface has become, check it out.
It's a cool idea but the combat looks very slow paced and boring from the kickstarter video.

Far from forgotten, my friend. It's still alive and generating tons of money for lots of companies.
I learned recently that until 1973, a woman in France had to get written permission from her husband before taking a job. Now, one might argue that maybe she should have picked a nicer husband if that’s a problem. But in hindsight it’s clear that whether her husband is a nice guy is beside the point; he shouldn’t have that power over his wife. The power is the problem.

By the same token, most landlords are totally decent people, but that is not the point- the power relationship of having a landlord in a position to exploit their tenants is still a problem. The landlord accumulates profit and real estate value every year; the tenants stay poor and every year they pay more and more of their wages just to have a roof over their heads. But it’s not the fault of any individual. It’s the nature of the relationship.
> Things change.

That's kind of the whole point. Unless there is some sort of legally binding contract that says things won't change, and that contract can't be changed without consent of all parties, whatever BS comes out of some exec's mouth should just be completely ignored. All you should look at are the underlying incentives, and it was always clear that Oculus would be fully assimilated into FB.
> Here's my thinking: as a society, we should decide on what needs to be handled by the government. Defense, roads, pandemic response, scientific research, welfare, healthcare, whatever. Make your own list, we can all hash that out. Then we figure out how much that costs, then we figure out the best taxation method to pay for all of it.

We already do that. It's called politics. However, you seem to want a strictly regimented "waterfall" version of politics, but in reality it has to be continuously iterated and handle the complex interplay of many factors (like different people having mutually exclusive ideas of what the government should actually do).

There is no negativity or positivity, towards or against, Blue Origin, or ULA, or SpaceX, or Tesla. None. Anywhere.

I agree with more funding of scientific research, but why not use X-prizes instead of direct grants to non-profits?

When we have a clear objective in mind (i.e. develop a new antibiotic with no pre-existing resistance in the wild), X-prizes tend to produce much better ROIs. For-profit organizations tend to be much more efficient at hitting concrete targets. An X-prize also doesn't require the government to directly pick winners and losers, or evaluate intermediate progress. That sidesteps a lot of the risk of political corruption that inevitably creeps in with big government budgets.

> getting a rocket to orbit isn't that big of a deal these days.

There are have only been maybe a dozen LEO+ launch families developed ever, and less than a handful by private companies. There exist only 3 active systems in the same category as New Glenn (Long March 5, Delta IV, Falcon Heavy).

Getting anything more than a toy to orbit is _extremely_ difficult, and many have lost untold millions trying to get just a toy to orbit. It is a _really big deal_.

SpaceX has a tremendous first mover advantage and a ton more experience in Space. Networking talent and building things on earth is not hard to buy.

Starlink is ready to go now and already is in Beta. They have more customers signing up for the beta than they can handle and they can charge practically any price they want for this service since nothing else like it exists.
Robotics and embedded just doesn't make that much money. I had to turn down a job offer due to the seriously low counteroffer I was given. Or rather, I was given no counteroffer, just told to pound sand after the market rate I gave apparently insulted them.

There was a time when I was younger (back in the early 90's) when I thought I just didn't like music that much. Turns out I just really didn't like the sort of music that was played on the radio. Once I discovered what was then termed "alternative" music that opened up entire vistas of the kind of music that was out there. It was just really hard to find back then. In 2020 there this is not the case and finding great music in niche genres is easier than ever. Just listen to a bit of everything until something hooks you and then let the recommendation engine of YouTube, Spotify, etc take you down the Rabbit Hole.

No, public transit is not a common source of super-spreading events, you are just making up stuff that feels right to you and plays the dominant narrative.

Seriously, find the prevalence of public transit superspreading events, if you even can.

Spread happens at social places: conferences, nursing homes, churches, medical centers, meat packing plants.

There are vanishingly small superspreading events from public transit.

This whole thread is a perfect example of the media selling us a false narrative but persisting because is "feels" right. Public transit as a primary means of transmission runs counter to the data, but because it was one of the first things the media focused on and it "feels" right, people become so certain of their feelings that no amount of data will counter it.

Some data on super spreading events, for example:

Martin Fowler – Kinesis Advantage2 – Review after three years of use
What worked for me is to blindly listen to bands whos names kept coming up. For example I heard that the Police were supposed to be a big deal so I dug up an album by them and listened through the whole thing. If I liked what I heard I would hunt down more albums (or CD's because this was mostly in the 90's and 00's). I would do the same thing if I heard a song I liked on the radio.
Gradually you will find out what genres you like and you'll be able to discover similar artists.
There are farms of people who literally sit around all day and solve CAPTCHAs - there's no surefire way to address this problem and it usually ends up in an orchestration of reputation-score tooling (including making a user fill out a CAPTCHA) to fingerprint a bot.

The book Range, by David Epstein has a pretty interesting chapter on music and the history of improvisation.

About five years ago, a place I was working at was selecting a new laptop for all employees. Mine was up for replacement, so I was interested in what they were picking.
They'd arrived at some god-awful Lenovo gamer model. It fit the performance and price point they'd decided they needed.

I said I'd prefer to have something smaller with less Christmas lights.

"Policy is everyone has to have the same laptop, and some people need more graphics power than the one you're asking for."

Turns out there'd been some big thing back and forth already about size and performance and this was the compromise that nobody liked.

"But why does everyone have to have the same laptop?" I asked.

"Well, it's just policy. Every desk has a docking station, and we don't want to have to buy different ones."

So I flipped the selected monstrosity over to reveal the extremely lacking docking connector at the bottom. There were some awkward laughs and I got my Thinkpad.
> why would BO fail where so many other have succeeded in launching payloads to orbit?

Guess: Blue Origin employees don’t get equity.

Obviously more motivates an aerospace engineer than cashing out. But my understanding is Bezos owns 100% of Blue Origin. It’s solely his project. That probably changes the type of person they attract and their personal dedication to the effort.

Also, “so many others” haven’t succeeded on orbital insertion. Most efforts (start counting at successful motor test) failed.
It should be interesting.

In a lot of states, it's not legal to leave your kids unsupervised depending on their age. I would guess that if they laid off teachers (which I think is unlikely on a massive scale due to them facilitating the online classes), then those laid off teachers might be hired as tutors or baby sitters.
yeah this one makes no sense at all. Enterprise sales and massive legal departments to appeal to the kids.
