Thanks - this is excellent.
It's working just fine so far on Linux even it sounds like they're mostly using MacOS. I could see using this a lot if playlist support was added. It seems snappy. I'm kind of surprised that htop reports 165M and Cpu reporting 38-45% which seems a tad bit high for playing a sound file O_O . I know it's early days though, so I'll keep an eye on it for sure. Very clean interface.
Furthermore, you rarely just plain JS. It's always another behemoth framework such as React or Angular.

I challenge anyone to upgrade a project from Angular ver 5 to the latest. It's possible but you'll also question whether its possible for you to quit software engineering and learn woodworking.
Program? No. Law(s), maybe.

Basic minimum: prorated benefits. Pick a cutoff point for full time (say 20 hours) and every hour for a worker under that is pro-rated at their fraction out of "FULLTIME" hours a week for the pay period.

Taxes == Benefits: Government does PTO, medical, etc; make everything EASIER FOR BUSINESSES, no more worrying about these things other than over the tops they aren't required to provide. Make those easy too for Paid time off and any other multiplicate benefit a flat multiplier if they want N% the standard rate.

The biggest sticking point for some workers revolves around time. Be that work-life balance (partly fixed by some the above), unpredictable hours, or hours that no one wants. It needs to be easier for the workers to have a __viable career__ as a whatever, not just be a cog in a machine that is summoned like a slave at the business' behest.

Work/Life balance might include kids or anything else outside of work that's important. Where it doesn't really matter there's an obvious answer. Where it does, like public service, maybe they need workers with careers covering that slot; who expect to regularly work that shift on a predictable schedule.

There should also be a formally allowed process for schedules. If it's specified in the primary worker contract as a fixed base schedule that's one thing. If it isn't then the employee should be able to decline, as a contractor that refuses the offered hours, with no other detriment (obviously non-take home pay, but no other penalty).
About voting with money, I always wondered why you are not advocating for the literal meaning of it: finance lobbies representing your interest to have rules matching your expectations.

It feels to me way more direct than trying to find alternatives that Google and Apple spend their time crushing away.
That’s a hell of a sacrifice to make, however, given how much of duopoly it is for mobile “apps”
I thought that the audio from Spotify was all ogg?
In case you’re thinking you’ve seen this sort of research before, the difference is that they don’t touch the sign, just illuminate it.

I’m not sure how much a difference that makes in practice?
Not a GO dev, has the debugging experience improved?
Nice article and thanks for sharing. I can relate to the article in that I’ve been a consultant for four years now. I, like many, am now remote with no foreseeable return to an office. I feel like Ive gone through so many phases of feelings since Ive been home and it’s wearing me down badly. I am ready to turn in my notice with no prospect on the horizon simply so I can go back to being normal, or as near to it as can be. I used to love my job. Now it’s this beast hiding in another room of my house and I fight with it every day.
"Defeating the lockout system" wasn't the discussion at hand. The contention upthread is that Tesla drivers did not know that they needed drive the car.
> What kind of rates are you paying the people who're actually doing the work, though?

We pay middle and middle+ rates in locations where we hire designers. So, Awesomic designers get the same or even more than other designers in the same location. Also, we have paid days off, and we are working on free health care program for our designers. So, does Upwork has paid day-offs or free health care program?

> And what's your plan for when the funding runs out - are you gonna follow Uber's path and start shaving more and more out of what the designers get?

We've been profitable for two years before we joined YC. Even now, we are profitable and haven't used YC's $125k. Still, we are raising money to hire more developers to build a better product – platform. Create an excellent product with AI – is super hard and expensive.

> if a client and designer who you matched up decide they would like to pursue a working relationship outside of your app without paying you your cut for future work, do you consider this a success, or a failure?

In two years working on this concept – we haven't had any cases like that. Designers like to work with Awesomic because they can grow and develop new skills on different projects. I am always happy when we deliver a great project after long cooperation.

Here is an example of how Norvegian startup worked with our designers for 18+ months in a row – https://www.awesomic.io/case-study/entirebody
There's probably 2 billion people that live in +8?
To give another example of a bug in DCSS that went unnoticed for a while: there's a spell called Ozocubu's Refrigeration that for 6 months [1] dealt 1/3 the damage that it should have. It was considered very weak with a steep drawback before this (for a short duration after casting, you couldn't drink any potions), so it was ignored, and no one really questioned why it was useless.

It's called capitalism
It looks like excitement over a new approach to computer architecture. The ideas behind how it works are interesting, but it's fundamentally incredibly inefficient, and always less efficient than traditional computers. It's only actually well-suited to a handful of applications. The interesting problem it could solve is some flavor of distributed hosting, but people are so hostile to paying for things on the internet, I'm not sure how viable it is. It's not usually viable or interesting to businesses because it's more expensive. But yes, as an academic exercise of toy systems you can port to your platform, it's interesting.
I don’t see how you can blame a radar for your vision system not being able to classify a fire truck (not to mention the unforgivable act of ignoring objects it can’t classify)

Googler here: RSS is effectively dead. Most of the people working on software these days barely know what RSS is, so I bet they never even thought to document its deprecation. But RSS at every Google product is a redesign away from being dead.
I went to a couple of meetups and never met anyone who would fit that description.

But then, as a lesswrongy person, maybe it's me, maybe "feeling superior" or whatever is just normal to me :shrug:

(But my actual theory is, it's probably just geographical.)

No it isn't. I would have called it "normal".

Most of issues are developer only. Maybe that's why?

As an user I'd prefer to interact with larger company that is not going anywhere rather than each developer separately. This has downsides as described in grandparent post but also increases trust a bit for unknown developers.
Believe it or not, Groups is the main way to ACL resources in GSuite. It represents mailing lists, user groups, etc. it’s also heavily used in local communities on the consumer side.
Yeah there's currently a war on to be the YouTube of podcasts and Spotify is currently in the best position.
Credit Card with Fingerprint Reader Built In

Yes, they're insecure but anti-fraud measures taken by the bank can mitigate that

But the bank doesn't pay me for my inconvenience in noticing and reporting the fraud, and then the time to move my recurring payments to a new card.

I wish contactless payments worked with my card more places, especially gas stations.
Wikipedia: Articles for Deletion/DokuWiki
Contactless works pretty well in my experience and doesn’t put any physical wear on the card. There’s a couple big retailers still holding out, but most places I go seem to have it enabled these days.
How dare you be so hostile! Try to tone it down next time!
New Zealand has one community Covid case
We've been doing pretty well with our (official) COVID cases all being contained in isolation facilities, but there is now one out in the wild with possible lockdown rules coming!

What I assume the poster is trying to say, (again, an assumption) is that since we have moved so far left towards extreme liberalism to appease this increasing small minority of people that we are only reaping what we sow.
Remember to throw in stories about impedance matching and the differences of A/B and T/D class amplifiers, as well as soundstage, acoustic compression and active correction.
Your lancet study with 172 publications comes to this conclusion:

"These data also suggest that wearing face masks protects people (both health-care workers and the general public) against infection by these coronaviruses."

Again, were is evidence that they don't work?

For example if cloth masks would not block around 40% in contorlled experiments:
https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mSphere.00637-20

Masks are not the magic one thing. Yet, it's one of the measures that helps. Don't put too much trust in masks, add social distancing and other preventive measures.

Yet, I don't see what the rational behind "they don't work" is. They lower the risk of getting infected and more important to infect others (anything in front of your mouth will do as it stops droplets ... basic physics. how much it does it that's debatable.

If I have a very wet speaking language, and am infected with COVID. You tell me I'm infecting the same amount of people if I wear a mask as if I would not wear one? (given the rest is the same??). Sorry, my understanding of physics does not agree with you. Not even going for virology or other topics.

Do you have a novel particle model we can use that explains your assumptions? You should test it in a lab.
You can. There's a "Mark as played" button in at least the Android Spotify app that I'm looking at right now.

Can't comment on anything else, though.
The JS code you wrote 20 years ago still runs today (and much much faster)

The problem is not JS, more the dependencies you decided to take for your project.
Totally agreed. The fact that some of these concepts are embedded into the language design (say for C++) are minor conveniences at best - when they almost perfectly line up with the data you have - but just get in the way most of the time.

Assuming they didn't harbor double allegiances.
In Finland they motivated the stores to upgrade by telling them that after date X they would be responsible for any fraudulent transactions done with a magstrip.

The transition went really fucking fast after that =)
If we followed similar arguments about hardware, we wouldn't have Apple today. The entire premise of Apple's hardware is that it is beautiful, well designed, with attention to details even in places where the user would never interact (motherboard layout and finish).

You might be guessing from intuition that 10-100ms latency doesn't matter, but I suspect that it does. You can feel the philsophy of the company when you use their products and they feel wonderful. It's a culmination of attention to detail in every aspect of development. I love Sublime Text precisely because of how fast it is.
Genome sequencing is still pending for this case, though for the past few weeks all of the COVID cases in quarantine were of the Delta strain.
Wow! Could Rust return the desire to build fast native UIs? I sure hope it does. And also is there Apple Music native app? Because the standard client is such a mess of an app.
Saying all the underdog competitors should team up is a nice idea, but as anyone who has seen how the standards sausage is made (or, indeed, has tried something similar) will tell you, it is often more difficult than everyone going their own way. It might be unintuitive, but coordination is hard even when you're not jockeying for position with your collaborators. This is why I mentioned the silver bullet part: a surface level analysis leads one to believe collaboration is the optimal path, but that starts to show cracks real quickly once one starts actually digging into the details.

To end things on a somewhat brighter note, there will be no sea change unless people put in the time and effort to get stuff like Vulkan compute working. As-is, most ML people (somewhat rightfully) expect accelerator support to be handed to them on a silver platter. That's fine, but I'd argue by doing so we lose the right to complain about big libraries and hardware vendors doing what's best for their own interests instead of for the ecosystem as a whole.

I assume you mean this in context of Google groups, because otherwise it seems RSS is doing OK. I mean, there's that whole podcasts thing and whatnot

Eh, I think a few of your points are sort-of correct, but transformational goals could work if we were more willing to commit to manpower, occupation, hard measures, and direct control (not saying that we should, or that it fits with modern sensibilities).

On top of that, "preventing the production of terrorists" (to paraphrase) was a stated goal of Afghanistan and it doesn't seem obvious how it can be fulfilled with either the current outcome or an "invade, accomplish, withdraw" operation unless we intended to just entirely massacre the populace to the point that the nation becomes a giant wildlife reserve.

There are relatively few (if any) cases of forced national reform lasting 40+ years with the intent to have a relatively "free democracy" at the end so I'm also having trouble considering your contention about transformation proven. (Though I definitely concur a single birth to adult score of years seems an unlikely interval for success with half-measures.)
Upscaling game graphics with Nvidia Deep Learning
okay, and they store them afterwards? why? and presumably in a non-bcrypted format? :facepalm
Pretty cool. I was thinking about this same thing today and learned that "computational philosophy" is a thing.

I've also thought about how truth, not just morals, can be modeled by some sort of "truth space" analogous to a vector space where each area has some certain value and you could sum to decide if a proposition is true or not.

I'm curious if machine learning has been applied to such ends.
Much appreciated, I'll have a look :D

I feel heartbroken since watching Seaspiracy. It seems like the only place we want wildlife to exist is in history books…
No, it effectively sapped the cultural foment of the era. Instead of stirring up revolt, writers were employed by the government. And they were employed to make people all feel more connected, in that government's name. As if it were all a giant advertisement for the power of government in people's lives, restoring people's faith in the government.

It's all part of how FDR saved capitalism through strident nationalism. Did it work because or in spite of cutting the capitalists out of the solution?
For people living paycheck to paycheck, I assume they likely don't have the down payment for a house.

For context 1: "U.S. health care spending grew 4.6 percent in 2019, reaching $3.8 trillion or $11,582 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.7 percent."

According to the US Gov "Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services", in 2019 (pre pandemic) the US was already spending 3.8 trillion (~3.5x the estimate) or $11,582 per person and not fully serving everyone in the process. Maybe the medical bickering/billing departments raise the price 2-3 times.

Awesome and interesting article. Great things you’ve always shared with us. Thanks. Just continue composing this kind of post.

I've been exclusively using the chip in my Credit and Debit Cards for at least a decade - every transaction works, every time for the life of the card. I've used them from Botswana to Egypt to Morocco to Canada through Central and South America and Australia.

They work perfectly.
Fair point but we are talking about thousands of people who were promised safety for their help. Safety doesn't necessarily mean a visa straight to America - it could even mean safety in safe 2nd country or something else. Even diplomats and others were left in embassy for the last moment to be taken out. This abandonment of trust is exactly what ruins the reputation and will then get used as propaganda by the Taliban.
It's very useful for studying for the ham radio tests.
I use my credit card at brick and mortar merchants less and less -- even my local gas station accepts Android/Apple Pay (and presumably contactless card taps, but I couldn't get it to work with my card). Even the cafe I frequent switched to readers (I think they were Square) associated with an iPad so I add a tip and pay with my phone at the table.

But what are they doing to secure online payments? Last time my card number was stolen, all of the fradulent charges were at online merchants.
If Apple was serious about preserving privacy while promoting healthy spending habits for minors, they'd let parents set a budget that can't be exceeded, make this visible at purchase time to the minor, give the minor the ability to ask permission for a specific purchase that exceeds the budget, and keep all other purchase information private. But of course this would cut drastically into their revenue.

I'm actually somewhat surprised that legislators haven't tried to regulate this. The cynical part of me says that if legislators don't have kids or grandkids who are spending too much of their money on app stores, they either don't have kids or are too wealthy to care, either of which would make them grossly out of touch with their constituents...
It's great to see the positive outcomes of acceleration. I saw so many kids burn out on accelerated programs, and have generally become cautious about them.

It's also nice to know that 2 years was enough for positive lives even for the "genius" children, which sets a sort of upper bound!
It’s not a problem with the tech — just a matter of time and adoption. Swipe cards used to be just as problematic back in the day. Many places didn’t accept them either, and then if they did, it took a lengthy dial-up connection to process. Sometimes it would fail and retry multiples times, and if it still didn’t work, the cashier would grab one of these out from under the counter: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41xAsDSTsXL...

Now those are slow. But hey, this is back in the time when people would write checks at the checkout.
> > What is clear is that “breakthrough” cases are not the rare events the term implies. As of 15 August, 514 Israelis were hospitalized with severe or critical COVID-19, a 31% increase from just 4 days earlier. Of the 514, 59% were fully vaccinated. Of the vaccinated, 87% were 60 or older.

This is a bad interpretation by the article's author. At some point (at 100% vaccination rate) we'd expect 100% of people in hospital to be vaccinated.

Talking about "breakthrough" cases and how rare they are depends on the absolute number of infections. This article doesn't have that data but it does say this:

> Yet the country is now logging one of the world’s highest infection rates, with nearly 650 new cases daily per million people.

The population is 3.9m, so 2500 cases per day. According to https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/israel it is actually up to 6000 cases per day.

So there are probably 100K+ active cases. 303 (ie, 0.59 * 514) cases of vaccinated people is 0.26%. That's a pretty low rate.

Love this game.

I don't think the gameplay is hugely different from others but I like how the cards are nicely illustrated and are somewhat based on the bird's biology- so you can learn about the birds as well.

Have bought for friends who are animal/bird lovers and they loved it too despite not being big board gamers.
I don't know that questioning this idiom breaks the guidelines.

If not a shill it sounds like an ask for more resources, to save the gray whales or study the oceans, or something.

Either way, "a precise cause has yet to be determined" seems to be playing a little too close to the vest, and can be true without being especially meaningful.

"Bad ocean management" turns out to be more of a triage problem and less blue-sky research for the sake of knowledge.
Here in the UK everywhere accepts chip and contactless. It rarely fails, and when it does everyone assumes its the card reader rather than the card. It's common for people to claim they'll stop shopping in places where the card readers fail, which means there's an incentive for retailers to keep them well maintained.
Quic is not that similar. Although SCTP could be given many of the same properties with a slightly customized implementation.
