Absolutely right. It seems almost every other thread here is missing the crux of the article, which has nothing to do with some alleged musician-listener supply-demand issue. Rather:

Graham Davies, CEO of The Ivors Academy said: “This survey is further demonstration that the song and the songwriter are undervalued. Too much streaming money is going to the major labels, this is an outdated model and needs reform.”

The survey results come amid an ongoing government inquiry into the impact of “the business models” operated by the likes of Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Google Play.

It doesn't sound like musicians are (necessarily) arguing that we should pay more than $10 to stream their music. Or that they should get more than their share of the pie relative to other artists.

It's that musicians' share of the $10 as a whole should be way more than it is now, and Spotify + labels should get less. And that's a fair claim to make that's worth talking about.

GSI isn't specifically for Pixel 1 and 2, but they can use those, just like every other device whose OEM have abandonned them, since it is a generic image.

> Reading these books after 20 years of programming I found that I really struggled to find anything useful to take away from them.

I believe this is the highest compliment a book can receive. When reading it the first time makes a big difference and the second time doesn't, it means it was so well written that you internalized it completely.
"They used a novel combination of techniques not witnessed by us or our partners in the past."

This is the scary part. FireEye and the others have been studying and watching APTXX nation-state teams for many years. They should have some idea by now. It is entirely possible that a new team is out there.
> Apple doesn't get paid for actually censoring anything.

Yep they do. They don't do it they don't get paid. They decide to do it, they get paid. They can count the difference in revenue and profit from those two alternatives. It is literally one of the things they are getting paid to do. Can you live with doing that for monetary profit? You can certainly make arguments both ways.

This is not "sanctions against a population." Sanctions against a population is something more like blockading medical aid to Iraq through law for years prior to the invasion. Now Iran. It's certainly worthwhile weighing up the ethics of that, and there are dead bodies to count and trade off that decision, which obviously makes it a pretty unpleasant thing to consider, but that isn't what is under discussion here.

If apple refuse to do it, someone else will, to be sure. That's not a reason that should influence whether you can live with doing it or whether it's something you refuse.
If the artist makes and sells the CD themselves, it could be close to 100%. This old article from 2013, says a typical figure for major labels is 13%:

> if they say they think it was a 13 year old from Ohio

How could you read my comment and think that is what I thought they should say?? I said not to say anything. And why use hyperbole ie 'they would be out of business tomorrow'.

And no it's not marketing anymore than if a Karate expert airs that he was beat up in an alley and then says 'but the person was 9 feet tall that's why!'. (But sure to your point if they said 'by a 13 year old' that would not be better but once again I didn't say that.)
I've never picked one. It's the best kind of option: I don't care and I never even knew it existed and someone who cared was able to select it.
Yet somehow these products that are ‘as hard to repair as possible’, outlast all their competitors by years, are highly recyclable, and receive Greenpeace’s top rating.

I very much doubt you can find anything to substantiate your claim that Apple is one of the biggest polluters on earth.

You don't understand what is happening. UPS made this mistake once and is not going to do it again.

For business customers, accepting a package and failing to deliver for the holidays is WORSE than accepting (a la USPS) with no limits and then having it get stuck.

UPS did this to amazon once, and that was enough for Amazon to decide to build out its own delivery network.

Shippers can do all sorts of things to help make things efficient if UPS communicates the limits. Ie, no sales with guaranteed 2 day shipping 2 days before xmass.

> If you only listened to one song in a month, should that band get your full subscription cut?

I don't understand why this hypothetical would be an argument against user-centric payments. If you only listened to one band in a month, what claim does any other band have on your (net of Spotify's cut) payment?
If someone really has created an AI that can wield guns

Every major military already has this. Air warfare has relied on automated target identification of various sorts for decades. Functional ground deployment for a line of sight munition is feasible with consumer-grade code and basic mechatronics skills. Hell, new consumer drones and every smartphone for five years have face ID...

Make no mistake, the future is scary and we have already built it.
> Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Etsy...?

Yes, I would lump all of those in the same general category. (Though the effort it takes to post something on Facebook is much less than the effort to write, perform, and record a song.)
I have quite a bit of astigmatism as well but the dark mode feels fine for me. Interesting.
Unless you have employee-level access, I wouldn't trust anything people are saying about the psychology of advertising. The reality is that people tell lots of stories about why things happen, but they only have the power to say that something happened.

The search for "why" is both very human and a big problem in terms of explanatory power. That is to say, someone has a finding and publishes it. That may (or may not!) be relevant to the specific tight scope around the survey/research. However, be very, very, very cautious in generalizing - that's where most people in ads/conversion optimization go wrong.
Again, I do appreciate the back and forth and the additional context re: details around taxes.

I think we ultimately just want different things, but I think I do have a better understanding of your position.

The motorcycle analogy falls flat for me though. To me it’s as if the motorcycle owner pushes to prevent any new bikes from being manufactured because they have one already that they got long ago and additional bikes make the area too loud and crowded.

I get why they want that, I just don’t mind if others in the area can get new bikes too. I don’t want their bike, but I want an opportunity similar to what they had when they bought their’s. That’s it basically.
I got quite high on the dark spectrum there, but I don't do actions that I believe would harm others.

So I believe the whole premise is flawed as all criminals are going to skew the average and essentially give "dark traits" a bad rep.

I believe "dark traits" will make you more productive and able to reach goals more effectively, so if you have goals that are beneficial for society you would also be more effective in reaching said goals as well.

Take Bill Gates for instance. Historically it's easy to tell he has had some very dark traits, and also I think it seems obvious that he has learned to hide them better as he has aged, but look how much benefit for the world his work and everything has been doing.

So all in all, it's not dark traits, but dark goals.
Is there some system in place which would send me a push notification or a text 5 minutes before the launch? I was distracted following livestreams all day trying to pin down the exact time the launch would be, not looking forward to doing that again tomorrow.
Not in the "Netflix has better content" way. More in the "Nolan is just pissed because WB is streaming all their 2021 content" way. The article didn't otherwise enlighten me on Nolan's point, in light of his last theatrical release being a COVIDy flop. What does he expect WB to do, release their movies to empty theaters?

I also suspect that WB and HBO's new owner is willing to sacrifice a little WB (who probably wasn't going to make money next year anyway) to prop up HBO Max's paltry subscription numbers.
looking at hacker news is reading.
I have to agree. I'm not sure I understand why any other artist should receive that subscription money if I paid for a service abd only listened to a single artist. The service got their cut. Shouldn't the artist make their money for my listening preference? I clearly would not have paid for that service if that band wasn't there to listen to. Beyond fair, it seems well deserved.

The opposite of that is strange to me. Seems akin to buying a record at a record store and having my money go to other artists because people usually buy their records.
You're entitled to your opinion regarding RFC readability, but factually, you can't grep through a video like you can with plaintext. You also can't print out a video and highlight things or write notes in the margins (or do the equivalent with a PDF). Scrubbing back multiple times to catch a quickly spoken word or quickly dismissed graphic is the bane of my experience with such video documentation. To me, that may be a fine superficial introductory experience in some cases, but is a universally terrible one for understanding and reference.
READMEs and markdown in general are supposed to be as legible in plain text form as it is when rendered. But that's something the kinds of people who hang out on GitHub don't seem to give two shits about. Any time a project hosted on GitHub is cloned, chances are high that if you try to open the README, it's going to be filled with line noise that effectively means you must use the rendered view. It's no wonder things like building native support for markdown rendering into apps like VSCode are so desirable. Project authors are treating it like an intermediate form that no one is really ever supposed to look at unless they're going into the markdown to add/fix/change something just before submitting a pull request.

I get the analogy, but build/lint/format functionalities are currently split across multiple different tools and their many multiple plugins. They aren't standards, they're just a bunch of tools that people have to glue together every time they create a new project. Attempting to put them together into a single binary with no dependencies isn't creating another standard, it's just creating a single tool (one similar to those extant for other modern languages).

I realise you may be being slightly facetious to make a [fair] point, but if not: Yarn and NPM are package managers, NPM comes with Node. npx is a command line tool for npm that generally obseletes most need for globally installing packages, it is a small but nice nice recent improvement to the JS ecosystem.

LSP is a protocol implemented by plugins for text editors/IDEs, it's got nothing to do with a specific language, what do you mean by mentioning that?

Epic-backed UGC platform Core launches attack on Roblox's 25/75 revenue split
Is there anything beyond that feeling that might indicate this might be to the case?
I object to the description of lesser-known artists as "wannabe". Mainstream commercial popularity results from a combination of luck, connections, and palatability for mainstream tastes. Vast numbers of talented, passionate artists will never achieve mainstream popularity because they don't strive for it or because the selection process is mostly arbitrary.
> Spotify has never posted an annual net profit.

Because a company choose to roll all of its revenue into growth does not mean that somehow that money doesn't exist and couldn't have instead gone into musicians' pockets.

Spotify made $7.4 billion in 2019. Imagine a world where Spotify had only made, say $1 billion, and all of the world's streaming musicians had made $6.4 billion more, distributed among them. Call me crazy, but that latter world sounds more like the one I'd prefer to live in.

> in several provinces there has been a number of cases where folks got verbal warning for doing it.

From that same article: || But police have also issued fines, confiscated thousands of dollars earned through online activity, seized routers and ordered "the suspension of networking,” effectively cutting off users from the internet. In some cases, police have punished trading companies that were using VPN software to access the wider internet for the purposes of “international networking.” ||

Isn't it possible that it's the elite students who will be hurt the most? Suppose they are getting 100% value from education. If a less privileged student is only getting 20% value from education, a 10% relative decrease only makes them 2% worse off.

My point is not that this is the right interpretation, it's just that I don't think it's settled about how much it will impact students, and which groups will be impacted disproportionately. Points about nutrition, getting out of abusive homes, etc., are all interesting and relevant and outside the scope of what I mean, which is purely focused on education outcomes.
On the other hand, there's nothing lamer than a project that purports to be 20 kinds of awesome, but in order to see so much as a single screenshot, we're expected to spend hours screwing around figuring out how to compile it from scratch.

If the project is meant to be shared with the community, the README should contain at least enough rich content to convey what it does.

I don’t care much about location, but I would use a notification service that is provably end-to-end encrypted. Possible use cases:

* Long build finishes on my PC. Send me a message on the phone.

* Log watcher detects an issue on a server. Send me a message.

* CI job fails. Same.

* Some notification pops up in my laptop’s browser. Forward it to the phone.

Last time I looked at apps doing this, they either did not appear particularly trustworthy, or were too limited.
Hey I wouldn't pay extra for reduced functionality, but you do you.
Well no, but it's been this way for a very large chunk of the time between the invention of the LP and the advent of streaming music. Historically unless you were in the tiny minority of gold/platinum artists album sales were not a major income stream. Even with non-independent labels it was common for album proceeds to reimburse the label for recording costs and fund advertising and touring. If you received a non-negligible amount of money from recording an album you've certainly already "made it".
This is well known. They pay out based on percentage of total plays rather than percentage of a given user's plays.

If a band has exactly one fan total who only listens to them instead of getting whatever is left of that person's fees after the platform cut the band will get almost nothing, despite commanding 100% of one person's attention.

There is some advocacy around this that explains it better: http://subscribershare.com/

If you choose to start exercising you will improve your health, full stop. Being stuck in a chair all day isn't good, but there's no need to change your thinking about exercise. They seem to be two independent things.

From what I've read (I'm no kind of expert, so don't just trust my interpretation), is that sitting can interfere with your blood circulation. It constricts blood flow to your legs, and when you're sitting you aren't contracting your leg muscles which is part of what helps move blood around your lower body. It's not so much that sitting itself is bad for you; it's sitting for so long without moving.

So just... move around. I love having a sit/stand desk but if that isn't something you can do then just get in the habit of frequently getting up from your desk and walking around a bit. If you need to think about something, do it while you walk. Pretend you have a smoking habit and you need to get up for a cigarette every 20 or 30 minutes. Once you get used to frequently moving around you'll start to become sensitive to sitting down for too long. I can't sit through a movie at a movie theater anymore because I get this overwhelming urge to get up and move around.
> Covid itself is a result of such accelerated selection performed in that Wuhan lab - what is called "gain of function" experiments.

No, just one global stylesheet that all websites obey without breaking. The (dead) dream of the ideal user agent is a program that lets you browse with your preferred color scheme, fonts, font size, etc; websites look just like any other program. Or not, if you prefer. Content is dictated by the authors but appearance is dictated by the user-agent.

The idea of the user agent dictating presentation rather than the content author is kind of dead on today's modern web; while it's certainly possible to set a global stylesheet, doing so creates an incredibly frustrating game of trial-and-error as some websites break while others work fine.

The idea does live on outside the mainstream in ideas like Gemini, Gopher, and a small subset of the Web that focuses on textual content with very conservative progressive enhancement.

I wrote about this previously: https://seirdy.one/2020/11/23/website-best-practices.html

Most websites should be able to work just fine with nothing but HTML. That doesn not mean that they should actually be just HTML (my website certainly isn't); it means that enhancements like CSS and JS should be progressive. Exceptions exist, obviously.
