I bet you also think grocery workers are dumb for agreeing to work while demanding better working conditions and fair pay.

They are not dumb decisions. An indie artist HAS to sign with labels if they want to make it in the industry. That's the way it's been and we've accepted for decades that that's the way it will be.

Mistreating workers is not okay. Workers joining the status quo to make a living is not dumb. Calling them "dumb" online is deplorable, however.

It was both magical and instantly obvious, the best kind of change.
Forcing everyone to spend hundreds of dollars each on studded or snow tires, to change them on and off, and to store them until next year would be prohibitively expensive for the the handful of days each year when the roads are actually snowy in the Midwest.

You're being pretty generous, and I think it sounds reasonable but placed within the broader picture (and given how liberals generally consider profit-driven healthcare systems and industry in other circumstances...) it seems like people are looking to paper over some dastardly stuff and dismiss legitimate concerns so as to not "rock the boat."

For instance:

> Officials from Argentina and the other Latin American country, which cannot be named as it has signed a confidentiality agreement with Pfizer, said the company’s negotiators demanded more than the usual indemnity against civil claims filed by citizens who suffer serious adverse events after being inoculated. They said Pfizer also insisted the governments cover the potential costs of civil cases brought as a result of Pfizer’s own acts of negligence, fraud, or malice. In Argentina and Brazil, Pfizer asked for sovereign assets to be put up as collateral for any future legal costs.

My first thought was "wait, did he provide food for himself too?" Seems he brought food instead of providing.

> They seemingly don't understand the business they're in... at all.

Do you know any musicians? Like, real musicians, for whom music is their life and their life's work, not dabblers?

Typically these are not shrewd business types. They don't hold a lot of negotiating power; if they're lucky enough to get a chance with a label deal they often don't push back on the terms very much at all. Labels are notoriously predatory in this regard, particularly mainstream large companies.

All they want is a fair shake. They see themselves and their fellow artists being screwed continually, while people that have nothing to do with their hard work, long nights, and passionate effort make money off their backs. For every artist that learns, there are ten more willing to take their place just for a tiny sliver of a chance at popularity.

The solution here is to do whatever we want to continue the slow work towards destroying mainstream labels. Indie labels still offer a reasonable value proposition in terms of the promotion and recording work they do in exchange for a share of the proceeds; mainstream labels don't. Like most media industries, they're headed by parenthetical elites, cosmopolitan types who have no loyalty to anything but profit, and will squeeze out every drop no matter the impact to the actual working artists.

Fuck 'em. Don't listen to mainstream music. Support indie artists and labels; buy direct wherever possible. If anything, the protest should be to make it trivial to directly host your music with Spotify for a nominal hosting fee, so that all revenue can go direct to the artist, rather than having to go through a 3rd party service.

> Co-founder has nothing to do with CEO.

In a small company, every person has enough influence to rival the CEO and every role overlaps enough that the distinction given by titles is meaningless inside the company. Mainly the distinction given by titles determines how people market themselves outside the company where the dividing roles will appear clear for marketing purposes, which they are not in reality.

Except almost everyone can produce things. You have to produce things people want. Not only that, you need to find the people who want your stuff, especially if its niche.

Yes, I'm a highly paid software engineer. The people who created the company I work for are, however, far better paid.

There's nothing stopping me from quitting and building my own business and selling the software I produce. I have the funds to seed my own startup, so that's not even an issue. That's a shitload of work though, even if I hire people to handle the individual parts. Very quickly I'll be spending more time running a business, finding customers, marketing, dealing with legal crap, etc, than I will producing software. I can also produce software, stick it on github and hope for the best, but there's countless people who do that for shits and giggles (and for free).

Distribution, logistic, and those "middlemen" actually do a lot of work to link the product with the customers. Sure, there's parasites in the middle, organizations that just take licenses and shifts them around without doing anything. You can absolutely make a case to cut those off. But the orgs/software that link products directly to customers who want said products generate tremendous value, and it's often a lot harder to do than produce the good in the first place.

Spotify doesn’t seem like a monopoly that has pricing power; they are in tight competition with multiple streaming services like Apple Music and amazon close behind and catching up.

Similarly, in the northwest salt actually becomes a liability when temperatures are well below freezing. Using salt can actually increase the incidence of more compact, harder-to-see ice (aka black ice) because of the slight thawing and refreezing.

All our county plow trucks scatter gravel behind them. Only businesses seem to sprinkle salt around their entrances.

in my experience here in colorado, the most commonly chosen alternative is "do nothing".

they dump the gravel/sand stuff out sometimes, but then it just accumulates near intersections, reducing traction in dry weather until the end of spring when they go sweep it off the sides of the roads.

Ask HN: Consuming one-shot webhooks reliably
Over the years I've worked on a few systems that need to consume one-shot webhooks.

For whatever reason, retries aren't available/practical and even then I've seen (and er, also written) bugs where the webhook was consumed incorrectly but we returned a 204 anyway; so even if retries were available we would never have seen one.

I've seen a few products for sending webhooks (e.g. Diahook, Gowebhooks) getting discussed over the past few weeks but not anything on the other receiving side. Building a HA webhook consumption system from scratch seems like reinventing the wheel for my current project and I was wondering if anyone has any strategies/products they could recommend?

It's not just about scaling databases, some people are simply unable to assess reasonable limits on any system. A few years ago certain Scandinavian publisher decided to replace their standard industry tools by a single "Digital Experience Platform" that was expected to do everything. After a couple of years they understood it's a stupid idea and gave up. Then later someone in the management thought that since they already spent some millions of euros they should continue anyway. This behemoth is so slow and buggy the end users work at 1/4th speed but everyone is afraid to say anything as the ones who did have been fired. The current PM is sending weekly success messages. It's hilarious. And all because someone once had a fantasy of having one huge system that does everything.

As a Canadian who lives with salted roads all the time ... what are you talking about? There is nobody I know that wants this. Studded tires and chains chew up asphalt. No one wants to die on icy roads. No one wants to spend 6 hours stuck in cold weather hoping you don't run of of gas because of an accident caused by icy roads.

You need to at least half, but most likely more, your estimate if you talk about cars that live in the cities.

For solar panels efficiency, two main things that matter are proper angle to the sun and amount of shade. Parking in the city, you cannot choose to align your panels with a sun. And you’ll be surrounded by tall structures (buildings, trees, etc) that will shade your car. You’ll get nowhere near close to an efficiency of a house rooftop solar.
We moved to the next town over four winters ago. We still do all our shopping in the original place because that's where all the stores are and where I work.

Our ten year old car went from having no rust to having completely rusted out rocker panels in two winters.

Granted, they seemed to rust from the inside out, but over the course of the winter you can watch in real time as the rust spreads and dissolves more of the car.

I appreciate that the road is always clear and passable. That's great.

I wouldn't mind the rust so much except body shops won't touch the stuff. They only want to deal with fender benders and whatnot on new vehicles with fat insurance payouts.

Not much appetite for patching cars up and keeping them on the road.

The only place I was able to find the original letter is on Reddit:

They're phrasing it in terms of harm reduction. Vaping is less dangerous than tobacco. The tobacco firms have a big piece of that, too, so they make a profit either way. The headline here should be less about "Marlboro maker" but "Juul owner", though the irony of them selling the latter as the cure for the former isn't lost.

The Center for Tobacco Products probably should engage in that harm reduction to shift people from tobacco to vaping -- the nicotine is addictive but nowhere near as harmful. It would definitely be weird to phrase that as "nicotine is not harmful" if that contained any whiff of "so you might as well smoke cigarettes". Or "nicotine is not harmful so why not pick up an expensive new addiction?"

Harm reduction is good. But there are right and wrong ways to do it, and it would be good to look at advice from the sellers with skepticism.

The creator isn't doing a 'review of building a log cabin in the woods'. Building codes vary so widely from country to country, let alone city to city, and then rural area to rural area, the chance that it has any relevance to you is small. TBH if the video started off with building permits I highly doubt many people would stick around.

You may look at this video as instructional, and that's probably okay, but it definitely wasn't created for that purpose. So its up to you to do the research on the omitted content.
