> 3. The cost of streaming music is WAY WAY WAY too low. They priced an entire month of music at about £10, the same as a CD. That's 720 hours (30 days) for the same price as just over an hour of music. This works out at £0.013888888888889 per hour, or just over 1p for an hour of music. This is then SPLIT between the streaming company, the label (if one), the artist's manager, and the artist.

But, unlike movies or any other service, the music service is repeatable and potentially generates infinite value over the years, with very minimal cost of maintenance. Once it is submitted to spotify, it is there forever, generating revenue, without you doing anything at all.
In graphics programming the typical example of this pattern would be when someone does bespoke computations on coordinates with a bunch of if-elses instead of deriving the proper matrix equation that "just works" due to math.
Indeed, but a little care is needed: the key Islamic philosophers had a higher profile in educated thought from the Renaissance to the beginning of the Enlightenment, so the simple fact of Smith citing Al-Ghazali is less significant in itself than it might at first appear. Smith was a friend of Hume, who was particularly influenced by Al-Ghazali.

I've just realized that nano was initially released in 1999! Apparently, they just copied pico key bindings, that was used as an extremely light editor.

For the rest, there is to me a cultural divide between a sysadmin/dev culture with abstract interfaces, specific key bindings and options, configuration files, ... and the thousands of people with various backgrounds that are learning tech today, including the console, just to do something using computers.

Micro is probably the best of both worlds. Try editing an admin file as a user and save.

It's probably useful, like most stuff that comes out from big companies, if you are a big company with big teams. I do not work for a big company and I will probably never do it again so Typescript is definitely not for me.

I went to a NodeJS party one time but I didn't like it, only one person could have fun at once.

Then I went to an Erlang party, and it was just a bunch of nerds at separate tables passing notes to each other about how much fun they were having.

But the weirdest was the Haskell party. Nothing happened for six hours and then suddenly everyone said "Well, that was fun!" and went home...
It's not an either/or though. Used to have an assignment where we as developers would write automated tests (regression tests), while we had an experienced software tester with an excel sheet verifying things by hand. But instead of just following the sheet - which is automatable - he knew of a number of different techniques and approaches and he'd still find a lot of issues that nobody else found. For which we'd write a test to avoid it happening again.

I mean I wouldn't have minded if they wrote more automated tests themselves, but I'm also very aware that the mindset of me and developers would quickly become "it's not my responsibility to test my software".
If you incentivize remote work, those workers may be spread out enough across communities that they wouldn't necessarily impact the overall housing market in any one community.
Free markets can only exist in this way until they are much smaller than the whole economy. The moment they are the economy they are heavily prone to monopolisation.

Market rate housing is about setting up for long term success. It will slowly solve the existing housing problems but that's not what it's primarily for. It's about preventing housing problems from happening in the first place. It's like a vaccine. If you want to stay healthy you have to take it even if you don't like it.

The reason why market rate housing alone is insufficient is because how slow it is. Highest bidders get filled first. Cities have a lot of bidders, but not an infinite amount and those who are hit the hardest are at the bottom of the list. Public housing is about meeting demand at the bottom first. So in a deeply mismanaged housing market you need both at the same time. The other factor is that if the government is unable to build because of existing policies it can just change those self defeating policies (things like zoning).

I don't have the personal experience from gigs with "thousands of people", as the only ones I've been to were not that huge, and at those the merch stands were always swarmed. If you are playing for an audience that big you are probably already good on ticket sales alone (which also tend to become more expensive once a certain audience threshold is crossed).

I also wasn't just guessing/assuming that, but relaying what I've been told by friends who are musicians (see also my sibling comment).

If there are such physical laws to allow details to change while broad strokes must happen, I'd be curious what exactly differentiates a detail from a broad stroke. But all the same, this idea imagines a more timey-wimey view of history that doesn't have just one state. This is an idea explored heavily in Neal Stephenson's "The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O"

The Japanese Navy had similar ideas [1] in WWII. The plan was to sail undetected to near the west coast, launch the planes, and drop some biological weapon. Basically the predecessor of today's missile-carrying submarines.

In Ireland, "mandarin" or "mandarin orange" is the most common English name for the orange-coloured citrus fruits that are too small and sweet to be considered oranges. We have a vague idea that mandarins, tangerines, satsumas, clementines, nadorcotts are all different varieties, but the typical catchall is "mandarin" or increasingly in supermarkets, "easy peeler".

You wouldn't be corrected over here.
A biologist, a physicist, and a mathematician are all watching a house that seems empty. Presently, two people enter the house, and after a while three people come back out.

The biologist says: "Clearly, there was a breeding."

The physicist says: "Oh no, it's our measurements that are imprecise."

The mathematician thinks for a while and declares: "If one more person walks in, the house will be empty again."

But that IS the same as movies and any other service - once it is available on iTunes does the film producer need to do any more work to make revenue? No. Once someone has written their software and hosted it somewhere, do they need to do any more work to extract money from it? No.

Yet the film industry saw sense to charge £7 - £13 for a film rental or purchase PER FILM and not charge £10 for an entire month of cinema films.

This isn't true for Netflix since they get old films, but it isn't true for "just at the cinema" new releases.

The free market is a really simple feedback system that, in any real-world implementation, can just as quickly lose the "mutual self-interest" part, or replace "cooperation" with "coercion". The very problem with the clinics you described - that's the free market in action.

The problem here is that there is no way for society at large to send corrective feedback, "holy shit you're totally abusing the rules and what you do is immoral", and have it actually impact said clinics' behavior. This mechanism exists naturally in small groups, but money and scale destroys it.
Correct. I missed "all" in the joke.

Path-finding can be really easy and rewarding to do yourself rather than asking a game engine to do it.

Path-finding works over graphs, so you have a "node" which in your case would be all the squares in the map, and "edges" which are all links between the node and all the neighbouring nodes!

Then you find the version of A* search algorithm package your language has and just pass it the nodes and edges, and it'll return the path of nodes.
The whole INDUSTRY that you are talking about is what happened in LA in 70s. I don't understand why would you take it as picture of how things should be done. It has not been like that before and it's getting back to "normal" now.

Most musicians play because they need to. Because it's the only thing that makes sense. Nobody sponsors their years of very hard work which they do voluntarily and with joy before they become great at what they're doing.

Original bands are doing just fine. They have big following because they offer something new. They have patreon, sell tshirts vinyls and whatnot.

Many average musicians can afford equipment which top bands couldn't dream of 20 years ago.

If somebody wants to just create another pop song then yes they will have a hard time.

And existing artists who sold their soul to big labels may suffer because those companies never thought they would need to move a finger. Not ideal but there's some worse suffering happening in the world than that.

Big record labels and expensive CDs were basically a dotcom bubble. Music is entertainment and people have a lot to choose from now.

Those who need to play music will be fine and enjoy life with their instrument(s) as they always do. Those who went in with "I've heard there's some good money there" are getting disappointed.
So if it is in the gray zone, then not sure I'm willing to take the risk. We had here some lawsuits where people had to pay huge penalties. Even prison is possible.

Have been thinking about openning a company in Gibraltar. Best case would be 10% cooperate tax + 25 % tax on dividend. So you are a bit better of compared to a tax rate of 45%. More important would be a hedge against the regulatory risks.

As you said you need a managing director and maybe some employees. Have you done something like this or could you provide some more info's? Of course it should be legal!

Doing something morally wrong is not a natural response. It is a natural response option. To paraphrase Jurassic Park: [Clinics] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

The reason you get warned for doing

`logger.debug("Got %s results", num)`

instead of

`logger.debug("Got {} results".format(num))`

is that in the first case, internally it checks if the logger is disabled and if so skips formatting the string, whereas in the second case you've already formatted it before passing it in, so that work can't be avoided. This isn't the case for print statements because they don't execute conditionally, so you don't ever skip doing the format.
This is a frustratingly vague and meandering disclosure.

I would assume the project was scrapped because it is basically impossible to land on a submarine.

It is hard enough to land a helicopter on a ship with a proper flight deck. But landing a much less stable VTOL on a tiny submarine without any sizeable flight deck in the 60s was completely out of the question.

In modern Greek, the two fruits called "orange" in English have different names. The bitter orange Citrus × aurantium is called nerantzi, coming from Sanskrit via the Persian naranj. Meanwhile, the sweet orange Citrus × sinensis is called portokali, as it was brought to Greece by Portuguese traders.

The Greek word for the colour orange is also portokali, but with the stress on a different syllable. This is a bit weird, as AFAIK the bitter orange reached Greece first.

For those inclined, there's a nice article by Marilyn Strathern, The Tyranny of Transparency [0] that echoes the sentiments in this article. It builds upon Hari Tsoukas' The Tyranny of light: The temptations and the paradoxes of the information society [1], which I heartily recommend if interested in reflections on this topic.

To entice, here's a small excerpt from the abstract of [1]:

> The overabundance of information in late modernity makes the information society full of temptations. It tempts us into thinking that knowledge-as-information is objective and exists independently of human beings; that everything can be reduced into information; and that generating ever more amounts of information will increase the transparency of society and, thus, lead to the rational management of social problems. However, as argued in this paper, the information society is riddled with paradoxes that prevent it from satisfying the temptations it creates. More information may lead to less understanding; more information may undermine trust; and more information may make society less rationally governable.

I think it may be that you couldn't really change your status with money. It's not like today when you did something great and your wealth changes by orders of magnitude.

So your status came from being a master. Somebody in very high regard because he is practically irreplaceable. He brings us great clothes. Nobody else around can do it so well. And no, that doesn't mean you could charge a lot for them, because the market is too small and people who are buying from you are the people you depend on for getting the goods that you need.
Another way of expressing this concept is to "make invalid states unrepresentable"
In my ~10 years of buying CDs I probably bought 50 albums.

I can't help but notice that many of the same people eager to point out that western civilization isn't the first or best to do a particular set of things, are then reluctant to place blame for any of the less than palatable elements of those things anywhere other than on western civilization.

Very well might not be the case here, but it was simply a thought that occurred to me.
I've used Solar2D/Corona SDK for a while and I'm really satisfied with the engine. You can build prototypes insanely fast and it's easy to get started with.

> Not everyone chooses to do something morally wrong, just because "I'm allowed to! And it makes life easier!"

But plenty choose to do something morally wrong because "I have to put bread on my table, and I'm about to go out of business because I can't compete with everyone else doing the immoral thing". This is the mechanism by which the market eliminates ethics from our lives, step by step. If doing something slightly wrong gives you a competitive advantage, you'll take it or you'll get outcompeted by everyone else who do.

People also forget the stranglehold the big labels had on the industry and retail. CDs were often expensive too - I remember paying £18 for albums from a large mainstream shop in the late 90s, not obscure but not ones that would have been in the charts. Compare that to the price of seeing that artist live at a proper music venue (not stadia) in a big city at the time - £40ish, maybe less.

Maybe my memory isn't great, but the market has been stretched with live music becoming substantially more expensive, while recorded music has become substantially cheaper.

I feel like if you want to be a professional musician, then that's exactly what you should be expecting to do with your time - playing music to people, not recording once and expecting to live off royalties forever. Recordings should be seen as marketing for the live performance.

I'm not really a fan, but Gary Numan is a case in point. He's been gigging forever and has made a point of making sure his tickets are affordable so his fans could continue to enjoy his shows, ensuring a lifelong revenue stream.

As a solution to the paradox that would assume that all civilisations are extremely xenophobic and also always assume that collaboration is impossible.

BTW: my current belief is that most likely life is just super-rare (phosphorus problem, and way too many required variables) and also that colonising a galaxy is probably a sub-optimal solution for overpopulation.
