I think if you look outside mainstream classical music you will see contemporary classicals influence. Many hollywood movie scores use many of the techniques created from serialism and onwards. Sampling audio with tape began in the 60s with Steve Reich, Pauline Oliveros at the San Francisco Tape Music Centre. You can see the influence in Hip Hop and Dance music. Synthesizers were originally only used by Academics making Contemporary Classical like Charles Wuorinen and Milton Babbit. They have obviously had a huge influence on pretty much all popular music. So even though the music itself has few fans its influence is fairly widespread.
Don't we benefit from moving the goalposts its how literally every issue works. Only people who don't want to win settle for "reasonable goals" because in actuality the other side will happily shift the goal posts the other way until they have a decidedly one sided situation.

The content industry would prefer the all content is charged per view based on who is in the same room as the screen with differentiated costs based on market and even consumer. To enforce them they would prefer all computers be so locked down they are effectively paid for and maintained by you but owned by them with the right to reach over the wire and destroy your hardware if they find you are using it in a way they don't approve of. [1]

They also want veto right over roll out of any new tech that might change the amount of money they are apt to make. Example the VCR, netflix etc.

In return consumers want everything to be completely free with no ads with a great interface and Hatch to be launched into space with no space suit.

We can probably settle in between on something like compulsory licensing like radio play so that any service can offer any video and the creators always get paid. Let copyright holders set the rate but offer the same to all parties

[1] In case you didn't catch it, during a Senate Judiciary committee hearing this week on copyright abuse, the chairman -- that'd be Sen. Hatch -- endorsed technology that would twice warn a computer user about illegal online behavior, "then destroy their computer."

This article appears in the October 2020 print edition with the headline “A Cubicle Never Looked So Good.”

To be honest, I've never really had a cubicle. Usually just a desk in a bullpin type arrangement. No privacy. Distractions galore. The sound of co-workers flushing the toilets in the restrooms nearby. Nothing to reflect fondly upon in my opinion.

If I had wanted or needed a new job, completely changing careers would probably have been easier than getting another gig in my field with the experience I’d accrued at home.

No doubt my experience is different doing technical work, but I have never relied on my co-workers to line up my next position. I flip the switch on linkedin to let recruiters know I'm looking and call or email the recruiters I have worked with in the past. Sometimes an employer might ask for a reference. I suppose I do have a short list of those.

“Outside of immediate family, people’s co-workers become their most consistent opportunity for social interaction,” Peditto told me. “What happens when you lose that is one of my greater concerns.”

My social interactions really do revolve around my family and long time friends. It's not a large group, but I'm not a social butterfly either. I have a hard enough time keeping up with those social interactions. Who knows, maybe I was born for remote work.

Overall this feels like yet another hit piece against remote work with a lot of anecdotes and not much else. Here I am arguing against it with my own anecdotes. I really don't understand why these keep cropping up. Are commercial real-estate conglomerates paying for these?

Personally, I am happier than I have ever been working remotely. I don't struggle to keep a routine or maintain separation between my work life and my home life. I don't feel starved for social interaction either. I would hate to see the sentiments these articles convey ruin something that has been very positive for myself and my partner (and my dog).
I was confused by the wording - the post seemed like it was saying that it was legal to fire vindman or okay - but I just misread it.
Maybe someone with more experience than myself can chime in. At a previous startup we used regular pH sensors, from Atlas Scientific (exactly like the ones in the article), submerged in a tank of nutrient water. After a few days (a week tops) they would drift out of spec, and would need to be taken out, re-calibrated, and put back into the process.

Short of a system that takes samples and feeds the probe, and can calibrate automatically, how do you measure pH in-system long term? Is there a special kind of probe that stays in calibration for longer?
When I bought my TV it won awards for the built-in audio. Now we're cranking movies up to 65% just to make out the words, which seems a lot higher than even a year ago and I don't think it's because the AC has been running more (could be) or we're all going deaf (also possible).

I keep looking at 3.1 or higher sound bars so I can get the audio track back. Not sure I want or could site the back speakers. Even 3.1 is not cheap, if you want something that isn't panned for bad audio quality (which I already have for $0)
The sin of Git's staging area is that Git forces it into the default interaction path—requiring you to take it into consideration whether or not you're interested in only committing some of the changes. Git should default to including all changes, and iff you direct it to (i.e. by explicitly specifying `git add`) should you have to take into consideration the notion that some changes are staged and others aren't.
DCL was so much better than MCR. In DCL I could use "DELETE sys$home:* .* ;* " but with MCR I had to resort to "PIP/DELE [7,1]* .* ; * " DEC just kept evolving for the better.

Of course, sh was just "rm -rf * .??*" and that is so much more discoverable because nothings says "delete all your files" more than some line noise.
Market forces are imperfect. Market forces decided child labor and unsafe working conditions were just fine. You can argue that you don't like some specific regulation or that its failing to meet the moment but there's plenty of examples of why "let the market decide" wasn't good enough in the past (as well as plenty of examples it was the perfect solution).
Unknown - I'm testing them, but can't provide data longer than the time since start. They're double-junction, which helps with logevity by slowing contamination of the internal KCl solution. My intent is to have them used for continuous immersion.

The latest data: Comparing two probes manufactured in the same batch, one immersed in a hydroponic solution, and one with periodic measurements. 3 months in, the immersed one has drifted by about 0.3 pH after the first 2 months; fixed by calibration. Another 0.1 in the third month. I don't have a good answer for long-term life, but hope an immersed one will last at least a year, and one used for periodic measurements for several. Older probes require more frequent calibration, have slower response, and might experience jitter.

Trading more frequently reduces uncertainty (it's harder to predict 24 hours out vs. 1 minute out)and uncertainty equates to risk which means trading only once per day could increase the cost of capital.
> Completely agree. One of the problems is of course the freedom of choice a Unix system gives you.

This is because Unix (or large parts of the environment) evolved over time rather than being designed at the beginning.

We started with the Bourne shell, then got the C shell, with the Korn shell splitting the difference between the two. Bash then came along taking lessons from each of those three, and then Z shell.

That's a few decades' worth of changes.
You're kind of wanting it both ways, to some extent.

I mean, I'm annoyed that Netflix had a bunch of Marvel movies, but not all of them. I'm annoyed that I used to watch them on Netflix all the time and now they're gone.

On the other hand, it's because Disney+ exists, and there's no reason for Disney+ to ever remove them (preasumably), since they own the rights to them so there's no licensing deals to work with. That means that they should be there "forever".

Likewise, I don't want to also have to pay for CBS All Access to watch the latest Trek, but, if I do, it does mean that I don't have to worry about Star Trek: Discovery disappearing down the road.

The only way for things to be there "forever" is to be streaming from the company that owns the copyright, and more and more such companies are setting up their streaming services and can then guarantee that "foreverness", but that comes at costs for them, and thus costs for us. It's unfortunate, but it feels as though it's either one or the other.
Best advice I can give is to have a dedicated space from which to work. This will probably mean you need more space in your home than you did when you went to an office each day. This might also mean that certain real estate situations are no longer viable or are at least less desirable than they used to be. Having roommate or living in a small crowded space can be detrimental to remote work. Leaving a city center with high cost per sq ft for a less dense residential area might be the trade off you have to make in order for remote work to work for you and your employer long term.

For me it meant getting a house and setting aside a specific bedroom to be an office. I do use it for hobby activities but those uses are easily put away at the start of the work day. It's not used as a spare bedroom for visitors.

There are also certain security issues that employees and employers are going to need to come to an understanding on now that remote work is getting more common. Some discussions should not be able to be overheard by spouses, roommates, friends, or if your walls are thin enough, neighbors. So far there seems to be very little discussion around the security side of things, likely because everyone knows for most of those suddenly thrust into remote work, there's only a limited amount they can do about it right now.
This is largely due to required SEC filings such as 10Q [1] and 13F [2] reports, etc.

The 13F shows the list of stocks they own, down to the share. Successive reports will show bought/sold differences, but this is only a rear-view-mirror view, after the quarter is over, so the actual buy/sell may have been almost 4 months prior

I feel like your argument is making the case for "Nothing has to be monetized", rather than "Not everything has to be monetized".

Not everyone is going to share this altruistic approach to running a business. The majority of monetization probably does, plain and simply, come down to greed. But outside of that, you have ambitious people who envision so much more than what they currently offer—which may require large scale growth.

Regardless, I'm sure the majority of people's morality will be skewed when the service you offer grows to 430+ million active monthly users [0].

Each user goes from being an individual to just a single part of this mass-collective, where the difference between making $1 and $2 off each user is so mind-boggling high that it's hard to keep morals in check.

I guess there's a reason sociopaths do so well in business.

>So in the UK, the gig economy argument is focused on that instead, no sickness/holiday pay means drivers are working when they shouldn't, or ending up broke if a long-term illness hits.

There's even been contractors being fined for being sick because they're unable to do deliveries. Which fundamentally goes against the social contract companies are supposed to have in the EU, making them very parasitic.

This is the major pain point.
Uber and Lyft see their employees as contracters and thus do not pay their fair dues in maintaining the healthcare and social system (while still getting the majority of the benefits from it).

It might be more beneficial from a finanicial perspective for uber's shareholders, but it ruins the social prospect of the community as a whole in the longterm.

There were already tapes that indicated racism on the part of Nixon (see https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/ronald-rea...). These latest tapes seemed to me worthy of further discussion because it isn’t merely a case of personal attitudes and beliefs, as terrible as those can be. These recordings indicate that the racism of Nixon and Kissinger actually played a tangible role in shaping recent U.S. foreign policy and led to tragic loss of life.

Eventually the “manipulation” will push the price to a point where other actors sell, and then more people sell and the price corrects (see yesterday and today’s charts). Buying equities and options in large amounts is not market manipulation. There are lots of institutional actors placing large orders all the time.
Portal may be ok puzzle, but I just really fail to see that as some kind high art equivalent. I mean, it is fun for enough people for me to be sure it is something valuable, but calling it "exploring human condition" would be a massive stretch.

It is enjoyable puzzle that was big deal when puzzles like that were rare. But it is not a game you will show next generation of children so that they learn something about human condition or some such.
My monitor has a built-in USB hub that works exactly like this, 4 A inputs and 2 B outputs plus an extra USB-C output.
I don't think there's a way around periodic calibration if you want precise measurements. At least not with normal glass electrodes. If the precision requirements are loose, you could go months between calibration. If you're trying to get within 0.1pH, every few weeks or so. For anything that's going in a scientific paper, calibration before every use is important.

There might be a clever way around this, like with a tech other than glass electrode, or some type of automation system with motors that raise and lower the probe into calibration solutions.

Something interesting: pH electrode response is nearly linear, and you can make the transfer function using entirely 2 (or 3 to compensate for non-linearity) calibration points. (voltage, pH, temp) No arbitrary coefficient required, other than maybe temp compensation.

Edit: I wonder if your sampling idea could kill 2 birds with one stone, if implemented well: By sampling using a mechanical system, you could measure regularly, and calibrate. Auto calibration, and avoid the lifetime reduction from immersion. Eg some type of motor/pump system connected to the electrode.

Right, that's my point, and the fundamental quandry at play the entire time streaming has been an option. For a brief moment, most content was consolidated on just a few select services and most people found it more affordable than cable services.

Now, in order to guarantee that we always have access to content, we're ultimately being asked to pay for more services at a total cost that looks more like the cable fees we didn't enjoy paying to begin with. We cut cords because of cost, and now that savings is almost gone and we're back to square one.

I don't have an answer and it's not an easy question to solve, I'm just saying that that's the point of frustration for a lot of people.

Edit: In some sense, what we have now - and seem to continue expanding upon - is worse than before. We used to be able to find it all on one cable provider with one UI, now we have to pay the same amount that many people found to be "too much" and have to deal with countless different UIs.

cool, so using $2B i buy TSLA and using another $2B i buy a planet scale truckload of TSLA $10K calls, and the MMs would buy at least some shares to hedge it - and even some small percentage of that planet scale truckload number is really a large number of shares thus moving the stock high, which in turn increases the MMs' risks associated with the calls, and forces the MMs to buy even more shares to cover that increased risk which naturally drives the price even higher - positive feedback loop! - and now i dump the TSLA i have. Even without the herd of retail and passives amplifying the effect, it is already a wonderful play... Yep, it is great to be a big guy, ie. to have those $Bs to play at that scale. Though i wonder whether it falls under market manipulation and thus prohibited.
