I remembered stumped onto an Amsterdam based classical music streaming service a few weeks ago that has a landing page explaining why they do per-second streaming subscription fee share with artists instead of the per-track share, which I think also makes a lot of sense for classical music.

Some googling seems to suggest that's Primephonic but I'm not 100% sure about it (since they took down all their pages).
> I also find that I have to dilute it 1:1 with water if I want it to work right in my coffee.

Try brands/packaging explicitly made for baristas. I find them perfect for coffee. It even works for frothing and steaming if you're into that.
Hah, that's funny. I grew up with a super fast Karajan (perhaps to make it fit on an LP?), and have had a hard time adjusting to the slower tempo that most recordings have.

Personally, for me all Beethoven symphonies >= 4 are a treat. If you ever get the chance to see one live, go. It's overwhelming.

Youtube can be helpful when it comes to interpretations. With some luck, there's going to be music geeks recommending other versions, so you can click around and find one you prefer.
Sure. I just find it perhaps interesting that e.g. we went out of our way to invent the word "margarine."
More demand -> increased prices for developer time. Greater costs / impact / scale of software development -> greater risk to the collective stakeholders. Greater risk -> more potential for reactionary measures to implement more stringent hiring / control mechanisms.

That's how you end up with many many interviews, lengthy code exercises, and huge opportunity costs for everyone involved.

Consequently the same pressures would apply to software project management procedures towards growing complexity, and less agency/autonomy.

Why does it seem like 'AGILE' often transforms into less of an idea of short feedback loops, context and communication and more into a bureaucratic control system? We implement control systems to reduce state space of unknowns / chaos and trade-off variance in favor of consistency. So if software in organizations is under high demand, increased cost, and greater risk it would also suggest likelihood of similar reactionary measures to implement control systems measures on software development as a whole.

Consequently the ever present trade-offs of exploration vs exploitation or global vs local maximum would also apply meaning the reactionary measure of increasing control and consistency has side effects counter to its very purpose: improving software capabilities. Instead of increasing stringency / consistency through process/procedure also increasing cost of interaction one would instead want to reduce cost of interaction, but also reduce costs of downsides upon hiring (e.g. contract to hire + tasks to prove but where acceptability of failure is present). This has the added benefit of not accidentally removing "exploration" from the equation allowing higher risk higher reward employees into the organization which reduces risk of overfitting and innovator dilemma problems.
I believe it will come back. France is working on Bleu [1] which looks very similar to what Germany and Microsoft tried back then. In the mean time I think startups like Basecamp [2] that can provide a compliant alternative right now would get quite a lot of customers. One way of doing it is partnering with a European company to provide the same service out of reach to the US government.

Just to put in context, Collapse is one of the three possible post-crisis trajectories, beside Recovery and Continuing Instability; and it must be triggered first by a Revolutionary Situation.

Before worrying about a collapse, we should check if we are in a revolutionary situation. And perhaps we are not yet there.

So I would agree that things like closing borders are closing the barn doors after the horse has not merely left but come back, had babies, raised them, and then the entire family left. There is a lot of room for discussion of what restrictions are necessary (e.g., mask mandates, especially in schools), and for more rational basis of restrictions to be implemented, that should be happening but isn't because this has all become hopelessly politicized.

But antivax? Vaccinations clearly reduce incidences of COVID-19, especially those cases that induce the most strain on our health systems. And the strain that the current wave is producing is indeed intense--there are water treatment plants struggling to get enough liquid oxygen because so much is going to intubated COVID-19 patients. So there's increased risk of giving a major metropolitan city cholera because of the current COVID-19 wave.

So the justification for not getting a vaccine at this point that the antivaxers push basically boils down to "I don't feel like it." That's not going to engender a lot of sympathy from those who realize that the antivaxers are basically murderers by proxy.
> Eradication?

I meant why not even try to develop a vaccine.

If other countries had not developed vaccines and eventually shared them with New Zealand what would they have done? Just sat with closed borders for the rest of time?

And even when they got the vaccine they've not really bothered to get it distributed - slowest vaccination rate in the developed world.

Very strange.

I think OnlyOffice is one of the candidates being considered. But it needs more tools around it (e.g. Nextcloud for files and tasks, videoconferencing etc).

If the OnlyOffice developers made a giant leap to broaden their product they would likely attract a lot of customers in the EU right now.
Putting aside the horrible ethics of controlling society like this, it sounds like a really bad policy by China that would likely backfire.

1) Mandating that kids all game at the same time will have bad problems for some web services. Some games geared towards younger people might be close to a ghost town 95% of the time, and then surge radically in traffic during allowed gaming hours. This is asking for technical problems dealing with radically different usage patterns.

2) The limits are unreasonably small for a hobby. If they had said something like 16 hours a week any time you want as long as your homework was done, most Chinese gamers would have begrudgingly accepted it as part and parcel of living in a CCP Wonderland. But 3 hours is too small and is asking for kids to try and hack and find workarounds to the tiny limits. I'm sure that 14 year old me would have made a game out of trying to find workarounds around this rule regardless of the consequences.
From the outside, your comment reads like the emotional one.
From a syntax perspective, I would argue the grammar of a language does make it apparent.
> He didn’t say whether the agency has found instances where the conflicts of interests resulted in harm to investors. SEC staff is reviewing the practice and could come out with proposals in the coming months.

This is the key question.

If we can't demonstrate harm, we have a theoretical problem weighing against billions of dollars in commission savings. If we can show harm, the question would be of the lightest-touch way to rectify that observed issue. Maybe it's banning PFOF, but I doubt it.
Yeah this is generally what I'm trying to lead them to.

If it's not a network issue, it's probably the database, right? Generally you've got an n+1 and/or some individual huge slow queries. I'd interested in knowing how the candidate would zero in on the database possibility and how they might narrow it down from there.
Oh boy, if ever there was a time to invoke the Dropbox comment!

Seriously though, I think it's an under-explored area. Several years ago[^] I thought it could be a fun way to do an ephemeral social networking type thing on the tube; then something a bit similar ('YikYak'?) became briefly popular (in the UK at least) but just using GPS or whatever for location, still with a central server.

I think there's plenty of interesting things you could do ephemerally, P2P over Bluetooth or mobile WLAN.

([^] edit: that's not some weird claim to fame, I mean it in the sense of I've long thought this should be good, but then, I've not bothered to do anything about it, and neither it seems has anybody else, so...)
I remember someone on HN said a few years ago that $500K a year was a CEO's salary in a midsize company in the midwest of the US. Now imagine how long it takes a CEO to find a new job.

> How do you prevent becoming discouraged or distracted when there seems like so many opportunities calling and so many people doing better

Because the perception is not the reality. There is no great gravy train that you're missing out on. Yes, there are real opportunities for certain -- but there are always real opportunities. There's nothing special about today on that count.

Also, I'd point out the old adage: Comparing yourself to others will make you both vain and bitter, because there will always be someone doing worse than you, and always someone doing better.

But, to actually answer your question: I don't become discouraged or distracted because it's not my goal to "get rich". I have other goals, instead.
When I want to find new things I listen to Classical King FM (they stream online here). I find they have really good taste.

https://www.king.org/

Whenever I hear something I like, I write down the piece and the conductor/orchestra.

They helped me find all sorts of good recordings and compositions that I otherwise wouldn't have listened to. For some reason, for my whole life I thought I didn't like Brahms. But the third time that I heard some breathtaking piece, thinking "what is this??", and then finding out it was Brahms, I realized my mind had been changed.
I don't think this should be allowed to happen. This is like when Amazon bought Goodreads and Abe Books, they own the whole ecosystem. Abe languishes in features that if they weren't owned by Amazon, would get fixed immediately.

It's a somewhat academic difference but ESRB rating age restrictions aren't enforced by law in the US: it's a voluntary system. The movie rating system is the same.

On the other hand, both systems owe their existence in part to government saber-rattling that they would impose actual regulation. Some attempts at actual legal enforcement have been struck down over the years.

Now it seems like there is large (200ms+) delay on almost all phone calls - it makes it really hard to have a conversation even.

Business is still done in large part over the phone - when you need an answer soonish (and/or know that you’re not going to get an answer when you need it), phone calls are about the only thing that works reliably.
I would strongly recommend steering clear of Nylas.
Why is your app not available on the App Store in France?
That is one of the products they are considering (like the French government did). But it needs more functionality than team chat to be viable.
By the time you have kids that are old enough to play games, if you do, then you’ll probably know that this is an impossible conversation. The process will instead be to create a mystique out of your own habits, which the child will find intriguing.

This is interesting new information to me, but I looked it up and Scotland indeed has what many consider a mixed system, quite unique since the U.K. is a unitary state.

I was already aware that Scotland uniquely for the U.K. has the unus testis, nullus testis principle which is ubiquitous in civil law systems, but I had no idea of how far reaching it was.

You foster and shape a community by first telling people what you will accept and then by banning people whose behavior doesn't comport with standards. Here we sit on a functional community with such standards discussing this matter politely with one another wherein your argument would be to remove the standards that make this community worth chatting on.

Just because you and are I reasonable doesn't mean the overarching internet is. It's manifestly not. It's extremely likely that a large part of the signal that makes this community valuable would depart if it was entirely filled with 10x as much noise.

Let people make their own communities with different standards if they don't like this one.

So far, based on the responses, I'm seeing trends like: side projects barely matter, wages can be used as leverage to find better jobs, companies investing in your career are really important, etc...

If I get enough data, I will post my results somewhere public and I will offer some packaged services to companies and developers alike that I think alleviates the issues we're currently seeing in the tech hiring process.

I live in a city with low-ish speed limits and recently they added radars everywhere.

It is just a nightmare, because the country is big and hilly, cars tend to have gear ratios optimized to 100km/h, my car is a Peugeot 206 and it stalls often if I go slow as the speed limit on some roads, and it stalls hard, as in the engine stops so suddenly that the car was moving and suddenly it isn't, had people almost crashing on my rear multiple times, and I almost crashed on other people rears multiple times.

Also some roads with low speed limit NOBODY drives inside the limit, because the limit is impratical so people use it as license to actually go faster than average, and when you are on those roads you are forced to go faster, if you obey the limit people WILL crash on you, and I am not kidding, I saw flipped cars there from crashes like that.

And finally, to keep under the speed limit I must stay wiht my eyes glued on my speedometer and RPM meter, to make sure I can stay under the limit without stalling, multiple times I almost crashed because of that, and I believe the same applies to other drivers, because in the same places where this happened to me, I saw other drivers not seeing thigns and almost crashing or... actually crashing.

My goal - and the effective goal (even explicit in some cases: "flattening the curve") of the stay-at-home orders, mask mandates, social distancing mandates, vaccinations - is the reduction of hospital-grade infections.

That's what needs to go down. And if someone's not getting a vaccination, then they need to do several of the other steps to avoid overwhelming hospitals.

If they don't (and they're not), then they haven't earned my support.

If I had to guess, >90% of phone calls are spam/scams or redundant information I received already over another channel. If they're one of the very few people in my contacts I'll likely pick up, or if I have a reason to be monitoring phone calls (i.e. job searching) I'll pick up. Regardless, my phone is always on silent or vibrate.

Even in the above mentioned d exception cases though, more people are calling me from other services such as Discord, Snapchat, Messenger, Teams, etc.
This is an interesting policy to me.

I spent a LOT of time gaming in my teen years, but my parents practically forced me to play outside with friends, ride my bike, be a part of a church youth group, and greatly encouraged my hobbies programming and designing software formally starting at age 8.

I already had a pretty well-balanced life, and by this policy's standards, I would be "too addicted to gaming" and breaching its rules.

Today I work a wonderful job in tech getting paid well, and by and large love my life.

While in some ways, I can agree with the outcomes these policies are driving at, I can never get behind a government enforcing these at the risk of penalizing a family or children for breaching it.

Wars have been fought and won (rightfully) over the culmination of these types of far-reaching policies that seek to determine how an individual spends their recreational time outside of other obligations like school and work.

It also sets a terrible precedent for controlling the amount of time an individual spends on any other activity. I fundamentally reject the reasoning behind viewing gaming as a potential addiction when any other recreational activity could be classified as such if one spends a great deal of time pursuing it, especially given that many games incorporate history; useful story tropes for understanding life, myth, and relationships; and for online games, the social bonds, management of guilds/clans/resources, and other portable skills that readily translate to corollary activities in a multitude of career fields.

China really knows how to bum its citizens out on so many levels, and the fact that so many in Western cultures seek the cold-calculated utilitarian outcomes of policies like these for Western civilizations without considering the tangible, psychological, emotional, and cultural impacts (among others) on societies is absolutely appalling.

Western civilizations didn't endure wars and literal genocide over freedom from authoritarian lawmaking (and taxation) only to have these freedoms challenged again and again by a select few who have the audacity, hubris, and arrogance to impose on them in the name of the better good. Fuck that.

>Yes, they do. But getting COVID with a vaccination means infections are not emergency-room-critical events. Getting COVID without a vaccination can be an emergency-room-critical event.

Thats not entirely true. In my town close to 20% of the hospitalizations are vaccinated. And there have been deaths amongst those as well. Of course the news, even local, is rounding down +/- 5% when its convenient and up the same margin when also convenient. But the local county and hospitals publicly post the raw data.

In fact i find calling people that are skeptical of the vaccine "anti-vaxxers" to be particularly unbecoming of an individual. Thats a specific attempt to conflate them with the Jenny McCarthy brand of anti-vaccination folks. These are brand new delivery methods and science that have either never been tried before, or in VERY limited use cases (such as Ebola for viral vector) and have few if any long term studies.

People shouldnt be shamed for being skeptical or questioning of the narrative. If the facts fully support the narrative or reasoning you shouldnt NEED to shame or silence dissenters to make your arguments more effective.

Especially when things like breakthrough rates are specifically being ignored as of May 1, 2021 [0], when theres data that specifically points to that fact such as slide 17. [1]

And the fact that people are being banned and silenced for pointing out that the vaccine does not prevent infection, or serious outcomes of infection, or even transmission and these are generally baseline requirements of othervaccines [2]

For example if TDAP or the pertussis vaccine allowed vaccinated patients an 80% chance of transmitting the virus, instead of the current 10%, there would absolutely be different reccomendations out there, especially for parents of newborns.
