> I stopped after getting to 200 FTEs

Where are you getting FTE? The specialties you reference (mixers, engineers) are not full-time employees of the artist. Not by a long shot. They are gig workers, basically.
There are more people now, and more people means pushing into more marginal areas. And, I'm sure people built roads that sank and eroded in the past too, they just aren't around any more.

Personally, I care a lot more about hills when I'm riding a bike or walking. When I'm driving a car, hills don't matter.

At the same time, building on slopes can be problematic. It depends on the local geology whether it is possible to do that or not.

FWIW, I'm a bit tired of "cranky old guy thinks everyone else is an idiot" posts on HN.
Love these. I need to write mine up.
Incorrect: Mickey Mouse was created in the 20s, Disney's Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951. You're right that the book would still have been copyrighted.

Oswald the Rabbit was also created by Walt Disney, in 1927, and sold to Universal. He then created Mickey Mouse as a replacement character for his own movie.

It's easy to throw potshots from the stands, but from the article the whole thing sounds less than half-baked. 25% baked, maybe. One wonders what the spec and milestones are, if in fact it wasn't simply and plainly rushed out for business reasons.

Thanks. I'll give it a look!
As noted in other comments, electrodynamic tethers are used in space since a lot of time. What is interesting is how to solve practical challenges such as using a tether with a satellite target that was not designed for this kind of operation.

In 2011 I attended the first 100YSS conference when it was organized by the DARPA (a big thanks DARPA!) and there was a very interesting presentation about these topics.

How did Thatcher make it so Americans don't really bother to know their neighbors anymore(can your believe people used to borrow a cup of sugar from their neighbors-- now I feel like that'd make be seen as crazy)? How did she make it so that people feel like calling is weird and people should just text(and dropping by unannounced is just annoying, even if your a friend, which in the past was considered an occasion to show hospitality)? Did Thatcher make society secular so they don't meet and socialize at church every Sunday(with the subtext that the all knowing and all good wants us to do it even if we don't feel like it)? There are definite changes to society.
That's built in to this approach.

Ticketmaster owns the contracts to every major venue.

Great... there's a hell of a lot of smaller venues, festivals, and other events that can be taken whilst Ticketmaster ignores you and you add significant value. By the time you worry about Ticketmaster or they worry about you, you already have momentum from artists, promoters and fans, and due to the bad press Ticketmaster gets through their tout-resell sites you also have political pressure.

Ticketmaster is built in to this plan. Their presence makes the grassroots stuff even more compelling as you don't have to boil the ocean, you figure out how to make it work on a small venue level, city level, and go for scale in the bottom layers.

Worst comes to worst, they're forced to consider purchasing you as you take all of the oxygen out of the system that feeds artists and promoters into them.
My guess/gut is this is a legal theory/stretch and it's unlikely to work.

But my understanding of anti trust law is it's always running into new situations that need to be adapted to.

Even anti trust law itself was new/controversial at one point, and the concept of forcing or breaking apart private businesses was novel.

it's not 55 videos (dunno if he forgot to upload them or misnumbered them...). Also most of it (I'd say 70%) is him doing matrix multiplications on a whiteboard. Which is excellent if you need a refresher in linear algebra (or just suck at it ;)), otherwise you can skip a lot of the content. That aside, he does an excellent job explaining it.
I'd say the disconnect is about what a Product is, which is the eternal question on HN and in startups.

Music isn't really a product unless you are on the publishing/licensing side, and even then a license is just an insurance policy against being sued. Spotify and Apple Music sell distribution services, not music.

Further, artist compensation on streaming services is so poor that most artists lose more money from inflation against their savings in the time it takes to choose and listen to their album than the platforms pay out for listeners. This is not an economic characteristic of something that is in high demand. It's a different kind of economic good.

I agree that music is beautiful and universal. What I'm saying is, a Product is something else, and the business practically depends on musicians not understanding it because it trades in them.

Business doesn't run on truth and beauty, it's a trade in desire and money. This is even harder for writers and journalists to accept, but it's the same dynamic.
Tether has a lot of people worried. It's a big enough issue to have reached Cabinet level. Tether now has US$76 billion outstanding. This can't end well.
My problem with evil is that I'm still inside of Emacs and I still need to know Emacs to be useful with it. If I am keen to become an evil user, what is my path forward? I've watched videos, read "tutorials," I've tried evil, doom, spacemacs, etc. I'm always put off by the thing almost as soon as I punch `$ emacs .` into my terminal. I've got nearly 2 decades of mileage with (neo)vi(m) in my rear view mirror. I am very interested in org-mode and am willing to learn but for the life of me I can't figure out how to.
I wrote an iOS app. I ported it to Android. The only part that didn't need to be rewritten from the ground up (and it worked completely unmodified) was the part written in C.

If you have the same APIs available (OpenGL in this case) C is the most portable language there is. Which proves it's not a language issue, it's a platform issue.

In fact the owners of the platforms care so little about (indeed actively oppose) compatibility between them that increasingly they make their higher-level APIs only available to a single language so you can't even share the parts of your code that aren't dependent on their APIs. Unless of course you drop into the one language that works everywhere and which they have no choice but to support: C (or something else that compiles natively and can present a C API like C++, Rust or Kotlin native).

Java's "write once run everywhere" has become a sad joke.
"Mickey Mouse was in many ways a ripoff of Universal's Oswald the Rabbit"

Considering that Walt Disney created Oswald the Rabbit for Universal, it is no surprise that some elements carried over to Mickey. When Universal took Oswald away from Disney's control, he responded by creating the mouse.

> Why don't you show how that example is not what I claim it is.

Because, quite honestly, I don't what your claim is. You're saying that a blockchain can "enforce DIGITAL" which is a meaningless sentence. Are you claiming that you can write a program and execute it on a blockchain? Sure. I can do the same on my computer. This is not an example of enforcing property rights, which was what we were talking about.
Since "recur" only allows to recurse to the closest recursion point (a loop or the enclosing function definition), what if it just used JVM's "goto"? Or, if the JVM didn't have a goto, but any kind of iteration construct, used that instead? Then it doesn't have to use a custom stack or allocate anything on the heap.

regarding the 2nd comment on the flaw part, it is not a flat. the table for the paid one is different URL, and it will have much more jobs than this one, possibly in 100s or 1000s based on skills/role/#of years etc and it will customized and not one size fit all.

happy to reply if any feedback or questions. Thanks again
Ok, so you assumed they moved to a city.

"So prohibitions on dense housing screw over people that want a rural life, but are forced to take jobs in a city."

According to the article in this post, people prefer lower density housing. I don't see how adding more higher density housing will meaningfully change that. Because as you make the commutes shorter, etc you entice more people to move there.
They are alive and well when using Django Rest Framework
Because they show up on top of searches. Wait until the freemium approach fails and they lose content producers, and they will pivot into something more approachable by competitors.

Because Broadcom won't sell anybody else the processor, and nobody who can make chips is going to waste their time and incur the legal risk of cloning some weird Broadcom SoCs when they could instead do something more sensible. And the only reason people would buy a Pi clone would be if it was better value for money, so now they also have to beat a quite cheap product in price.

In these discussions, people always seem to keep the discussion limited to lifestyle preferences. I prefer to live in a suburb, so we should keep this suburb encased in amber! I prefer to live in an urban area, and obviously it's better to decrease rents and per-capita tax burden by increasing density and the supply of housing.

There are many enormous negative externalities associated with suburban development: that this kind of forced restrictive zoning is responsible for GDP being _50% lower_ than it otherwise would be (https://www.theregreview.org/2018/06/14/somogyi-zoning-codes...), that it vastly increases carbon emissions by necessitating that everyone drive everywhere for every trip, and that it is responsible for the vast majority of the housing affordability and homelessness crisis.

The laws of supply and demand are simple, yet people seem to think it can't apply to housing.

"South Korea says it will boost available housing nationwide with a positive supply “shock” as President Moon Jae-in struggles to tame soaring home prices that are weighing on his approval ratings." (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-04/south-kor...)

In Tokyo, a huge megacity with a population of 37 million people, apartment rents can be incredibly cheap (https://twitter.com/IDoTheThinking/status/139141180481584743...), $400/month in an area only a 20 minute train ride from the center of town. There is not one city in the United States where this is true, because every city makes affordable housing illegal to placate rich NIMBYs.

Suburban NIMBY aesthetic and lifestyle preferences that are forced on everyone are causing middle-income and lower-income people to cut back on food, transportation, healthcare, and retirement savings. (https://twitter.com/aaronAcarr/status/1460393017639153673)

If it is wrong to force someone who prefers a suburban area to live in a dense urban area, is it not also wrong to force people who prefer cheaper rents, walkability, and the amenities of urban life to pay 3-6x as much to live in a desolate, anti-social, car-centric suburb?
Maybe it's more than breaking the law. If I want to bet on something random, say, 'if it will rain tomorrow in my hometown', it's pretty hard to do without a blockchain unless I know the other party.

A prediction market could solve that, cheaply build consensus where it would be harder to do otherwise.
> So, I guess it wasn’t till after World War Two that their feature films became profitable. They survived, so chances are the shorts brought in money.

According to Wikipedia [0], "The U.S. and Canadian governments commissioned the studio to produce training and propaganda films. By 1942, 90 percent of its 550 employees were working on war-related films." So, it seems they primarily survived by taking government contracts, not producing shorts. In fact, the next paragraph goes on to say, "With limited staff and little operating capital during and after the war, Disney's feature films during much of the 1940s were 'package films', or collections of shorts, [...] which performed poorly at the box office." So I wouldn't say their shorts were particular moneymakers during that time. After the war, they started releasing feature films again (Song of the South, etc).

Although it does seem that in the 20s and early 30s, prior to Snow White, animated shorts and comics (and potentially related merchandising?) were most of the company's revenue.

So, I think it's probably fair to say shorts financed the company through the release of Snow White, but not really any further.

Opex > Capex. If companies thought about long term, yes they might consider it. But unless the cloud providers fuck up really badly, they're ok to take the heat occasionally and tolerate a bit of nonsense.
Man sounds like their images product needs a "let's take a step back and rethink why we hit some of these limits and talk about what we can do about it".

Something fundamental seems to have gotten out of hand when it comes to the entire offering.

> one ends up with each app spaghettied with other apps

This is what I always found in Django projects with the notable exception of the one that had only one giant app.

I started to believe that one project doesn't get along with multiple apps (kind of microservices) in the mind of the average developer. Only one app Rails style is probably easier to grasp and manage.
This is super valuable! Thank you for sharing :)

Personally I've been exploring the concept of proof of ownership in the NFT space. I think there is a lot of potential in the technology that helps benefit creators and cuts out the middle man. I know we are quite a ways out from doing something like this, but it is feasible to do something like self-publish a video game and distribute as tokens, then sell it on a decentralized platform. It would cut platforms like Steam who take a large percentage out of the equation. Of course, Steam as an ecosystem is incredibly valuable, but it's just the first example that came to mind.

Really, the way I look at this is that in the past few years we have had a lot of engineering talent to explore the space and come up with unique products and ideas that the web3 toolkit enables, and we'll continue to see growth in the space.

My first proof of concept dapp I made earlier this year was a scheduling application that allows for you to arbitrarily schedule something on another ethereum address' calendar, assuming that they have initialized their profiles and set their rates, using an escrow to handle all monetary interactions. I could then host my dapp on a file storage system like arweave or IPFS, paying one time for hosting instead of a perpetual hosting fee. It wasn't perfect but it was a fun proof of concept.

But yeah, I think we'll continue to see a lot of innovation in the space, and see some really cool products over the next few years. If you have any doubt, the fact that a company the size of Facebook decided to pivot their company, brand and all, towards metaverse development (which will directly be utilizing NFTs), that should be a signal that web3 is going to continue to evolve.
While having a long uptime sounds cool it is a signal that you don't patch that often. Maybe you patch your other stuff, but I would bet on even odds that you don't. So then that is the rest of the stack, eg systemd which has some mega flaws IIRC.

You're leaving yourself open to having something exploited. Have a look at your ssh logs where "people" are constantly trying to get in.

I'm running Netgear N600 / WNDR3800 with OpenWRT since day one. So if you (can) plan for OS before buying, you can dodge a bullet when $VENDOR stops giving f*cks. That particular box has been released in 2011! Mikrotik is good enough (tm) probably, but it's licensed/closed-source. bcantrill once mentioned that "Infrastructure software should be open-source" and I'm adhering to this mantra for 10 years now. Dodged many bullets coming my way ... (i.e. if you want to buy something, can you plan for linux/BSD OS when vendor just doesn't care anymore?)

Would like to hear ideas about Apple's airports running custom NetBSD ... are you guys still running those as edge/internet routers with wifi or have you pushed them to the inside of the network and promoted some other box to the firewall role? I'm kinda stuck in the conundrum "it's unix with PF, it can handle itself" and "it's does not get updates anymore".
There can also be cumulative rounding issues if you’d stacking lots of layers on top of each other. It’s a subtle issue, but a strange one. There’s no deep technical reason for it — the inputs are just losing data.
That doesn’t even make sense…density is allowed in a lot of rural places, there just isn’t demand for more. People that live in high density areas, want to live there because it’s a city. They aren’t going to want to put up with both living in a high density building and rural area because that’s the worst possible combination. But people put up with living in a high density area because of the benefits of a city and people put up with the inconvenience of rural area because of the space. They are kind of mutually exclusive ideas.

Clearly not. He talked about soil compaction in earlier articles:

In "Why SpaceX Cares About Dirt"[1] he talks about soil compaction through surcharge loading.

In "What Really Happened At Edenville and Sanford Dams?"[2] he talks about how the lack of proper soil compaction was one reason behind the dam failures.

In "Why Does Road Construction Take So Long?" he identifies soil compaction as one of the most time consuming parts of road construction.

If anything he didn't talk about soil compaction in this article to avoid repeating himself. :)
