Copyright and licensing is complicated, in the sense that a track has many different copyright holders, and the record companies usually make sure to own distribution rights by contract. The composers and artists might be powerless, even though they own the actual rights (which can not be sold or transferred). This partly the reason why the major labels hold so much power.

Unless things have changed with Cricut, I've always found their machines to be a huge ripoff – even more so than inkjet printers because at least those will allow you to print whatever you want. I remember looking into Cricut and realizing it was made to force you into buying designs from their store rather than giving you the ability to provide an SVG(or even gcode?) of your own. It's possible to use your own designs, but the support for it is terrible since they clearly want a percentage of whatever designs you end up buying. In other words, it's not a useful device to own. If you think you're going to use a Cricut to make things you can sell on Etsy or the like, you will be sorely disappointed.
> Musicians are getting the equivalent of an ad per stream.

Except when I listen to an album, I'm often listening to 15 "ads" (tracks) in a row so I'm not really seeing the equivalence. Especially when there are albums I listen to in their entirety multiple times a month.

At least I use Tidal, which may have its faults but has historically paid out the most to artists.

Psychedelics are some of the most personal substances to exist. Your experience, while completely valid, is not everyone's experience. For me, while I haven't gone as deep as some with mushrooms, I find that I remember quite a bit about my mushroom experiences. The only time I've ever had such a "time hole" was when a broken finger was operated on and I was placed under anesthesia.

It may be a "drug induced state", but the power of that state can be amazing.
I agree, unfortunately France are likely to hold the line rather than seriously criticize the EU publicly.
Just switched to a Gazelle from an old IdeaPad p400 touch. Full keyboard, beautiful screen, removable battery, extensive power management options, large trackpad, multiple color adjustable brightness back-lit keyboard so I can change it to red to avoid hurting my eyes, a real gpu, and powerful as all heck. I love it.
I lived in MN for most of my life and I never switched to snow tires. Some people I knew did, and I believe them when they say snow tires are better. However in the end traction just isn't an issue, nobody drives fast when it is icy and at slow speeds I did just fine.

You can't really require studded tires in a place that can have 2 weeks of lots of snow, followed by 3 weeks of no snow and repeat.

You'd have to repave the entire city each year. And you can't expect motorists to keep adding and removing the studs as the weather changes.

Studded tires are only realistic in a place where you need them for an entire season.

Snow tires on the other hand can help a TON. But not everyone has room to store them in the off season.

> In fact with US bank accounts, "2FA" steps make your account less secure, because the security of your bank account ultimately relies on checking your transactions every 30 days - anything that gets in the way of easily logging in undermines that.

So much this, for Europe as well. Since PSD2, i cannot automatically check my bank account anymore, because of onerous and braindead 2FA requirements. And most banks do not offer a email-on-withdrawal function in any proper fashion, even their apps require regular reauthentication. But, since it is a braindead directive, you can install the 2FA app on the same phone as the bank app and have them talk to each other, thereby killing all the security benefit while still being annoying and non-automatic.

Ever seen a large system that has it's own job server and scripts for orchestration/deployment? Application code that checks the status of it's peers and runtime env to determine what should run? All glued together with decades old perl and bash with no documentation.

I'll take "more configuration in yaml" over that.
That doesn't seem too awful. It basically means everything from the 80's or early 90's goes into the public domain.

After that much time, it's a crime keeping the copyright monopoly: it's either exhausted all possible profit, so there's no point, or it's been around long enough that everything after it is influenced by it, like season 4 and earlier of The Simpsons, and the original Star Wars movies.

In other words, that seems like a decent cut-off point to say that if you still want to hold copyright on them, then you're rent-seeking off of stuff that has kinda become "cultural identity" stuff, specifically because it's what people grew up watching and influenced by.

Enabling either the OpenGL or WebRender compositor might help in case of performance issues (`layers.acceleration.force-enabled` and `gfx.webrender.all` in `about:config`).
Wouldn't agree on the GO statement, yes GO is great in terms of performance but it still lacks some important language features AFAIK no generics, no proper exception handling. I honestly don't know how the GO ecosystem is, but I can't imagine it's as mature as java. Perhaps I'm wrong tho
That’s called business. Entity A provides a product or service to entity B. The price entity B pays Entity A is greater than the price entity A pays to create the product or service.

The alternative is Entity A being a charity.
Fair enough, I appreciate the insider details, as I was indeed speculating.
> These days we are trying to pretty much remove all of it (digitally) for "convenience" and "efficiency".

Well, the same 'we' that push voting machines and other crap like locking government records up in proprietary software.

I push for algorithms specifically because they're (as a written document) transparent. If a human has to judge a historical context you're never going to get repeatable results. But I want the system to be able to diagram, with weights, all the inputs that went into something before I'll trust an automated version.
Nothing, so long as you're okay with telemetry, bundled junk like pocket, and the removal of the compact UI (see the thread from yesterday - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464533).

Firefox's internals are great -- it's never been faster or as stable, and for that we made real sacrifices like losing XUL extensions but increasingly I don't understand Mozilla's decision making.

EDIT: I understand many of the things I'm talking about can be fixed with about:config. I had a list of over 30 flags in my notes and it was becoming untenable to patch all my devices whenever a feature I needed was changed or removed.

Hey everyone, John from Ghost here - this is our 9th time on Hacker News in 8 years, because of course Ghost originated from a Hacker News blog post that gave way to the original Kickstarter campaign.

The platform has matured a huge amount in the years since, and we've gone from a scrappy codebase to a relatively mature architecture.

Our next big steps will be to decouple the product further, separating out the core API, admin client and front end so that they can be both built and deployed independently of one another - which is a bit more nuanced in a decentralised environment than it might otherwise be!

After that, not sure. Maybe crypto payments. We'll see

Thanks as always for your support over the years

Hell they might already be paying a penny per stream to some major labels, and everybody else takes whatever's left over, we have no idea.

Maybe Drake's label demands a penny per stream for his new album or they pull it. And then somebody else who's on a tiny label gets 0.00000000001 cent per stream because that's all that's left.

They really need transparency, the labels will never be transparent so Spotify has to be. If nobody's transparent about these deals then there probably needs to be legislation.

That would be obvious anti-competitive behavior on the part of music labels if that's what's going on, and knowing them it probably is.
For those who wants to stop supporting China, don't lose hope. Supply chains are migrating, due to tariffs, sanctions, and hatred towards CCP. Don't let naysayers who may have a vested interest in China talk you down. Just keep checking where the product you are buying is coming from.

- check https://chinalawblog.com and you will see that companies are indeed moving out of China at a quick pace. In fact, the site advocates that you do not think of China as the default manufacturing...

I'm confused -- is this a liquidity event or something (or somehow to let employees cash out options)? The release doesn't mention anything about that, and yet $23M seems like a small amount of money for Docker to have to beg the equity market for, given how small that figure is compared to their revenues:

They had a partnership with NEC Energy Solutions which then left the integration business about 9 months later, so that was probably a business setback. I'm still hopeful that they get a chance to scale with projects like data centers and municipal electric utilities.

The first systems will go into the field as 40 kWh trial systems to demonstrate their effectiveness and operation. The pilot battery for Terra-Scale, which will be one of these trial systems, will be installed late 2021. A larger 1 MWh commercial-scale trial system will be installed in late 2022. Volume production will then start in 2023, at which time Ambri will build battery systems that are available in 1 MWh blocks and have discharge rates of 4 hours or longer.

But that hasn’t been established here. The aluminum produces hydrogen (at some level of inefficiency) which then produces electricity in a fuel cell (more inefficiency).

Consumable electrodes are actually doing chemical work in the aluminum. It’s not just wear from use. To produce 78 grams of Aluminum directly requires 48 grams of Carbon electrodes (using made by graphitizing some tar or coke) which oxidizes to 176 grams of CO2.
Aluminum is 31MJ/kg specific energy. Assuming 70% efficiency conversion from aluminum to hydrogen and 70% from hydrogen to electricity (both fairly optimistic figures), you’re talking about 535 grams of emitted CO2 for each kWh of electricity out. Ignoring the electricity input, inefficiencies and losses in making the aluminum, and assuming perfect conversion of the tar to electrodes. Worse than a good, advanced combined cycle natural gas plant (which can get as good as roughly 350 grams per kWh for record efficiency plants).

I just don’t see how this is gonna be a net win without carbonfree electrodes. It seems just about impossible here. Storing hydrogen directly looks to make way more sense.
Apple has only ever shipped single-button mice with their computers, so turning the whole trackpad into that button on their laptops was a pretty simple evolution. Gestures came much later.

>"And Spotify is already paying out 75% of it's revenue to royalty holders'

"Royalty holders" is not even an actual term. Copyright holders are the owners of master recording - often a record company. Streaming services license entire catalogs for a fixed price for a fixed period of time. Streaming service don't pay record labels royalties. Royalties of which there are two in the context of streaming are a) performance royalty and b) a mechanical royalty both of which are paid out to the publisher and songwriter.

>"So unless you believe that Spotify is bad at business and there's an extra ~75% of revenue Spotify could pull out of a hat, this is basically impossible to satisfy without cratering the total revenue by doubling prices, which is probably not in artist's interests."

The whole argument that the current predominant streaming model is the only viable business model is flawed. This seems to presume that the "pro-rata" distribution model that Spotify uses is the only distribution model. There is an alternative model that many artists are pushing for which is a the "user centric' distribution model. In that model the calculation of payments is based on the listening habits of each individual user. A simplified examples is that I only listen to one artist in a given month. In the user centric model the entire 10% of record labels 70% usually allocated to the artist cut is paid to that artist rather than those streams being calculated as percentage of all songs streamed from that one of the big 3's record label's massive catalogs.
All any investigation on me would find is I can't for the life of me remember the order of in_array and google it way more often than I should.

The CWS developer program policy does not allow extensions to request unnecessary permissions. If an extension doesn't have a good reason to observe network requests in MV3, it will/should be rejected.

So yes, it's technically possible to observe network requests but in practice few should be doing it.

Who is this “single country” straw man you are referring to? The western world is comprised of 50+ nations with over $40 trillion in GDP.
Not likely. The work permit immigration spigots have opened up again with new administration relaxing previous constraints. My vendors Cognizant, Wipro and TCS are very excited for lots of contract work in SV. We can come back and revisit this comment at the end of the year. The wages will barely budge.
Even iFixit batteries are not good. So, be careful. One of the problems with aftermarket batteries is that these batteries were made at least 2 years ago or so.

I live in Iowa. I've literally heard more people here complain about "Liberal California" tax rates than Iowa tax rates. Generally people just have a poor understanding of how taxation actually works. Most Iowa residents probably have no idea that they pay a higher tax rate they they would in California.

I don't want to advertise, so I'll just say - you can go to a big computer/hardware seller website and search for laptops with nvidia graphics cards. You can get a laptop with a GTX 1650 for $700, which has 3x the performance.
Well yes it varies a lot by condition, it seems in the worst case (temperate winter, cloudy) you get about 5 miles per day, i.e. about 1 mile per hour of daylight.

Still, it does seem like a useful feature. It should be plausible to run out of juice relatively close to an outlet (gas station, hotel, good samaritan, etc.) since electricity is virtually everywhere. Waiting a few hours to get to the nearest facility should not be too bad.

It's more of the capability that attracts me (like having insurance without ever needing).

Given typical numbers of panel output I wouldn't be surprised if it (nearly) pays for itself anyway, so I don't see the need to be overly skeptical. (ben_w estimates ~1.8 year payback)

See other arguments cited elsewhere as well: avoiding deep discharge in case of battery depletion. If you leave your depleted car sitting for a while (days? weeks?), you will see degradation of the precious battery, which represents most (about 40%) of the cost of the car. A cheap insurance to preserve your most vital asset is also a great feature.
Fair enough.

But beware, Chrome's lead on render speed is most likely thanks to the performance data they collect.
Any other browser you may choose might not collect that data, but don't be surprised if it halves your battery life and takes twice the time to render stuff (such as Firefox in macOS about 6 months ago, don't know how it performs now).

There are reasons for data collection, and I don't think everything is used for malitious intent, which is DDG's point.
I started to talk briefly, then stopped for about a year, which sort of counts as late-speaking. It's good to be concerned and to understand your child, but it doesn't sound like you should panic. People tell me I'm smart.

Also, right now I believe we are overly-obsessed with intelligence. Intelligence is a tool; what's important is how you use it. A middling intellect with a good attitude can achieve a lot more than a high intellect and a middling attitude.

Salting the roads aren't doing junky car owners any favors. I've had to replace suspension components, fuel lines, entire frames for rust. These things need to be replaced to keep the vehicle going and are not cheap. Suddenly that $3k honda civic is looking at $3k worth of repairs unless you want to risk your life when you approach highway speeds. I'm always shocked how in California there are absolutely beat up cars from the 70s all over the roads still.
I use Linux for application development. Python, C++, occasional R and use linux containers as well.
The reason I don't interpret it in that innocuous way is because the founders of Black Lives Matter are self-described "trained Marxists" (https://www.city-journal.org/marxist-revolutionaries-black-l...), are follows of the ideologies of various Marxist theorists like Lenin and Mao (https://time.com/5171270/black-lives-matter-patrisse-cullors...), and therefore know full well that a core tactic of socialist/communist theory is to disrupt the family unit as a way to eliminate private property, increase the collectivist/state-rearing of children (propagandizing), and diminish competing ideologies/culture that can emerge from family structure (https://thefederalist.com/2015/06/29/americans-buy-into-marx...).

Can anyone else back this up? Has HP changed? I've sworn off HP products (both enterprise and consumer) because of their terrible customer service and documentation. Dell/Lenovo always offer something very similar in price and performance, and their enterprise support is fine to great.

Not all eye tests are equal. There are three things you might want:

1. Measure my prescription so I can buy the right glasses

2. All the above, but also check the health of my eyes with analogue tools (by a qualified optician/optometrist)

3. Check the health of my eyes with more advanced digital tools.

#1 is easy to get in developing countries, and often free. I once had an eye test of this type at a market stall in Beijing.

#2 is what you get in the UK for $0 to $30. Optical stores make their money on glasses and contact lenses, so they are happy to sell these tests at or below cost.

I had my first US eye test recently. Even with insurance, I paid $20 out of pocket for #2, and and $65 out of pocket for #3.

I'm not sure how much #2 would cost in the US without insurance, but I guess it's much more than in the UK.
