Hey, this summer I created a site that allows you to synchronously listen to Spotify. You can either get a link to share, or be paired with a random user through the queue.

It's completely free (though you do need Spotify premium) and open source. Also, all you need to do is connect your Spotify account, there's no log in to my site. This is the first real full stack website I've made, so you might come across bugs, and if so you can report them on the github:

If anyone has any questions or comments I'd love to hear them!

Maybe the State Department should have thought of that before cancelling his passport while he was in Moscow.
He was certainly being disingenuous about that. Whether or not an app requires a payment to do anything is entirely orthogonal to its method of accepting the payment. Hey was rejected because they didn't use in-app purchases, no question about it.
You are right, of course, for inflation. I was aiming at the basis for the "tax", i.e. "wealth" or "positive change of wealth"
It's really not that bad. Most of the investment is early on, after that servers just run. I use unattended updates to keep patches coming in while I'm doing other stuff. Updating from a Debian stable repo won't break your stuff.
In some important ways, the computer you sit down in front of is at the mercy of the network that you attach it to. There are many things you can control about the computer if you control the machines it can talk to.

A linux box running several pieces of software that the community works on to thwart this kind of misbehavior is something you can control, even if you can't control your Chromebook.
The free upgrade worked for me, but trying to sort out how to actually go back and pay (app + new stuff looked good, no reason not to pay for it) and I have to say, figuring out how to do that (and how to get back to the settings in general) was more than $10 worth of frustration.

By my calculations, you now owe me $2.71828 and I was trying to give you money!

I love Halide but I do wish it could shoot quick videos so I'd stop accidentally opening it and then saying "wait, wrong camera app." As-is I keep Halide on my home screen for pictures, and get to Camera through control center for video. But it's pretty frequent that I forget and tap on Halide thinking I'm going to record a quick video.

I'm not even talking about professional quality video, just "I want to record 5 seconds of my cat being cute." But I guess the reservations are partly that if you added basic video capability, people would expect it to be amazing in the same sorts of ways that it is for stills?
Yeah, you can do that. When you request someones location, you can specify a time limit. When that runs out, you have to request it again.

"Forever" is an option.
It depends on how you define friends. Several years ago the average Facebook user had over 300 "friends". Now they might not spend much time with most of that 300 but they at least see some posts.

Re the v4 space question, for v4 from the public internet was covered in my original (fallback proxy switched on host header). Internally, using v4 10.x networks for internal systems is fraught with problems as you'll inevitably end up trying to connect other 10.x ambiguously addressed networks, and get bit by the ambiguity in security, monitoring, configuration etc.

End-to-end addrssing with globally unique addresses is just a good idea, it's a big reason the internet model won over competing networking technologies.
FreeBSD is a place of strange decisions. Recently, it was decided that any package containing a file in /usr/local/share/bash-completion/ should have a hard dependency on bash for installation. This has lead to almost every possible user-facing program depending on bash, to the degree that it's nearly impossible to use FreeBSD without also installing bash. I wonder if they're planning on switching the default /bin/sh in core.

I've listened to a ex professional sportsman, turned trainer, and one of his big points in the talk was that by controlling our breathing we can influence our mental state. If you are overly excited or nervous you can slow down your breathing and do the exercises to relax. He claimed that the same can be done in reverse, if you are tired or wanting to improve your awareness you can do quick breaths.

I tried it, but didn't really see the benefit with quick breaths but maybe I didn't do it long enough.

First term Obama was a horrible President - from drone strikes to deportations to dealing with whistleblowers... IDK if he was too concerned about being labeled a far left socialist in governance and risking his re-election prospects.

But in his 2nd term, he was a far better president. He eased off on drone strikes (still too much, imo), pardoned non-violent drug offences like crazy, he commuted Manning's sentence, and there were talks of him considering pardoning Snowden too (when he was a lame duck).

I don't think Biden will venture into territory that Obama considered to be too controversial, but given that Biden's pretty much running as a 1 term President, I don't think it's impossible.

Right, it's a deduction, not a credit, so it only partially pays for itself on a direct tax basis, but generally the expense is money the business would have spent anyways on its business.

But the point is that a business with a higher tax rate has a greater incentive to spend money, and to spend more of it.

And as a practical matter, history has demonstrated that businesses actually invest less during periods of low tax than they do during periods of high tax, even though they have more cash to spend. It's counterintuitive but multiple major tax cuts have borne this trend out.
Long-range supersonic airplanes struggle with the contradiction of having sufficient lift at takeoff to carry a heavy load of fuel vs having oversized and heavy wings at supersonic cruise that cause excessive induced drag.

The SR-71 dealt with the problem by taking off with a minimum fuel load and refueling in air. Other attempts to square the circle of takeoff and cruise requirements include (heavy, fragile, ...) wings that swing and the preposterous swinging stainless steel nose on the Concorde that weighed more than the luggage carried on by the PAX!

The "micro fighter" never has to take off from the ground but might have to land in an emergency. They can't take advantage of a much lighter wing loading however, because
they are fighters! Range does not matter as it does on the XB-70, you are going to have high wing loading anyway and low-speed performance as important as high-speed performance is important in the synthesized American and Russian doctrine on air combat.

Why do websites like this capture ctrl-f and make it not search the page?
Well for one, FireFox frequently breaks on non-standards compliant tech industry standard business critical Google web apps.

Outside the work context, leisure time is regularly frustrated by FireFox struggling to render pages or load videos on Google owned YouTube.com as well as they do in Chrome. This seems to happen a few days each month for the past 8 years or so.

Therefore Chrome is clearly the better browser. /s

> I've heard of a couple electric motorcycle brands that are trying to copy Tesla's playbook as a high end, prestige brand

Not really addressing anything in your post, but I saw this and wanted to provide some info for those curious.

There are a couple of motorcycle brands that technically produce or are planning to produce electric bikes, but so far there is only one that reliably produces them on scale, and they are definitely treated as Tesla of motorcycles in the community. The brand I am talking about is Zero Motorcycles, and it is pretty much Tesla down to a T when it comes to branding and the experience.

The pricing is notably more expensive than comparable ICE motorcycles, but not outrageously so (their premium models go for a bit above premium Kawasaki models and comparable to BMW ones). Everything is very clean and nice, but looks subtly more different than ICE bikes (similar to how it was with Tesla Model S). A lot of controls through the app and digital screens. Delivers on value great.

Unfortunately, that's the only realistic electric motorcycle option at the moment. Harley Davidson made Livewire, but it was a terrible EV bike that had issues with charging, and had to get recalled multiple times due to software bugs (yes, this is as ridiculous as it sounds). Not even mentioning the price (on both their EV and ICE) being in a whole other category compared to literally any other motorcycle manufacturer. Livewire started at $30k, while Zero premium street bike started at $20k (with even much cheaper models available).

The other one that looks promising is Lightning, but there weren't many sales and i haven't seen virtually a single one on the road (with plenty Zero bikes everywhere btw), so, I suspect, something is not right. Pricing is a bit cheaper, but comparable to Zero.

P.S. I promise I am not affiliated with Zero motorcycles in any way lol. I don't even own one, I have just been researching heavily into electric bikes since last year, because I am looking to upgrade from my trusty Honda cbr500r.
We did a pretty fun lab with some high school students to drive home how hard it is to convey precise information. They were in pairs, separated by an opaque screen. We gave one of each pair a flag of a random country, and they were supposed to describe it to the second of the pair who drew it according to their instructions.

Even simple flags got pretty botched. :)

Of course you'll need to write a OS specific driver for critical hardware like interrupt controllers and system timers, but drivers for other things like network cards and disk controllers can be reused if you adopt the other OS's interfaces. Things like ndiswrapper exist to use windows drivers on Linux or FreeBSD; Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD also have a large pool of drivers, which can be used depending on which system's driver model you like best.
Well it depends what you mean/want by "proprietary". There are commercial versions of Linux you can buy with money that come with some amount of support. This seems like the best of both worlds to me - open source, but with official support behind it.

peaceably: inclined or disposed to avoid strife or dissension; not argumentative or hostile:

assemble: gather together in one place for a common purpose.
I mean, Twitter recently censored a story from the New York Post. Then they came along and said, maybe they shouldn't be doing that. Even Facebook came out and said they would be slowing down sharing of this story.

Now, if they did this for every kind of sensational story, okay, but this very clearly seems to be a partisan issue. There have been a few Trump stories that are similarly sensational and were not censored the same way.

By the way, I don't know how much of that story is correct, but it's pretty clear they treated that story differently than anything else, and it leads to people becoming very suspicious of what these companies are doing. It's also very scary that Twitter or Facebook would just say, no this story from a newspaper can't even be shared.
Securely tunnel smart phone traffic with WireGuard and OpenBSD
Here's the program: https://www.pse.com/green-options/Renewable-Energy-Programs/...

I am nervous about the carbon-offset space, but what warmed me to the idea is it's through my utility so it should be straightforward to measure/calculate/act, as opposed to farm/rainforest protection which is a lot more fussy with much more unknown side-affects.

And part of the justification is the state's regulation requires them to sell you the cheapest power, so it makes sense that you can volunteer for slightly more expensive power that is more green. Also the program is certified by green-e and apparently endorsed by NREL.gov.

And FWIW, it's not a "offset your whole footprint" program; I just used a national kwh-co2 calculator to calculate how much green power I would need to put into the market to offset my entire footprint (instead of only paying to offset the power I use). So very napkin math-y.

But then it's not available on free newsletters, even if the author would prefer to pay for it. Not sure what the problem is with this model. $50 isn't really meaningful hit -- it's not a recurring cost or anything.

I also disagree that 10% of revenue is a "huge" chunk. Running your own mail list and custom domain isn't trivial (not to mention acquiring readers in the first place).
My father is close to 70 and is in very bad health. His knees and feet are painful and will never heal. He is overweight, has multiple cardiac issues and other problems. He lives in a rural town.

He's also looking to buy an electric bicycle, because he's anticipating the day when he won't be allowed to drive anymore. He also wants to be able to follow my mom on bike, or me and my siblings, or his grandkids. His car is getting expensive and less and less useful since he's been buying his groceries online (yes, even in a rural town).

It's yearly, not monthly.

But I'm also confused about the pricing model. What is the benefit of buying the $9.99 subscription if the $29.99 purchase covers everything (or does it?), and you keep the app for more than 3 years?
Not at this time. Google's pkg.go.dev only renders a subset of licenses and I now use polyform noncommercial. There is a repo of examples github.com/asim/examples for v2. With v3 I'll look to create some new examples and docs.
Can any iSH aficionado provide a step-by-step on how to augment this release version of the app with an additional binary executable?

For example the nano text editor.

EDIT: Managed it like this:

1. Download this file and put it on iCloud Drive: http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.12/releases/x86/alpi...

2. Back in the app, tap the Cog icon above the keyboard > Filesystems > Import > select that file.

3. (The app crashed?) Start the app again and go back to the Cog > Filesystems > alpine-minirootfs-.... > Boot from This Filesystem

4. $ apk add nano

5. $ nano

EDIT2: And now git installs fine too. Gonna have some fun with this!
django_assert_num_queries is helpful for this as well -- basically any time I'm writing a test for something where I've spent time thinking about query efficiency in the first place, I'll throw in an assert. (I actually use a homerolled version that can log the location of the queries with -v, but same idea.)

Don't buybacks benefit long term investors, not bigger investors precisely for tax reasons.

Historical equities compound growth almost entirely comes from constantly reinvesting dividends to buy more shares which compounds to increase future dividends. So as an example, take a company that returns 5% of their share price and an investor pays a 20% tax rate allowing them to reinvest 4% after tax money to buy more shares. After 40 years, they'd have 1.04^40=4.8 times the proportion of the company. If the same company spent all of its money buying back shares, you'd have 1.05^40=7.039 times the company. Now you still have to pay that 20% on gains once you sell so after you'd have (1.05^40-1)*.8+1=5.83 after selling but that is still a 21% benefit for share buybacks in that example.

Also, I wouldn't call that "artificially inflate the stock price". They are reducing the number of outstanding shares thereby increasing the earnings per share which increases the amount that can be returned to each share such as through higher dividends. It is effectively reinvesting the dividends for you back into the company.

Indeed. By using tools of linear algebra on the adjacency matrices of a graph, you can tell a lot about the structure of the graph.

For instance, if A is the adjacency matrix of a graph G, with n vertices (we say 'vertices' in the math department almost exclusively -- rarely do we say 'nodes'), and k edges, denoting the trace of A by Tr(A), we can find the number of triangles in A by computing Tr(A^3)/6. We can also tell if G is connected by computing A^n. [0]

OTOH, the spectrum doesn't tell you nearly everything you'd want to know about a graph. There are many examples of non-isomorphic graphs that are nonetheless cospectral. For instance, one of my professors from grad school wrote a landmark paper in spectral graph theory in 1973, showing that almost all trees are cospectral. [1]

---

[0]: Of course, you'd probably never actually do this, because it's horribly inefficient, but here's how it goes.

First, you prove easily by induction that A^c_{i,j} is the number of paths of length c starting at vertex i and ending at vertex j. With that in mind, we see that if there is a row of all nonzero numbers in any matrix A^c for c <= n, then G is connected. With a little more work, you can even extract all the connected components of G, by looking at submatrices of A^c.

[1]: Unsurprisingly, the paper is titled "Almost all trees are cospectral". See: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Almost-all-trees-are-c...
