Was an original Zune adopter from the earliest days (30GB Brown Fat Zune). I ran into two people on my college campus with Zune's and each time we shared a song to each other. After a month I never used the song sharing feature ever again and never really had anyone bring it up.

I really loved my Zune, the desktop software was some of the worst ever created. It helped pushed me towards eventually just getting an iPod to flash with Rockbox so I could just use common lightweight sane software on my desktop to manage the library on my devices.

Things are so much better now that I can just load up 200GB of music on my android phone, manage it via a normal file explorer on desktop, and use the VLC app to listen and create/manage playlists.
Please see the paper linked in my sibling comment above:

Google could log which sites have a paywall, and put an icon next to search result that you might need to pay money to access the article. I could also let google know which sites I subscribe to and if I have a WSJ subscription, it could rank those articles a little higher to similar results on sites I don't have a subscription to. For example, something similar happens when you google TV shows, e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=mad+men

There is a panel on the right hand side showing which streaming services stream the show. I can tell google which ones I have and it will improve the recommendations based on that.
The same was said of the internet. NY Times, CNN, Fox and other centralized news sites have(had?) a lot of guard rails to 'protect' people from unsubstantiated claims. The internet was the wild-west in terms of information and blogs containing potentially harmful information. Now look at where things are.

The guard-rails can be built in the new medium, and the result may actually be better than what we had before.
This is almost a non-argument.

The world is a complicate place. We prefer that people have basic freedoms, but that's not always going to be the case.

Singapore is an 'autocracy' and so was Korea up until recently. So is Kuwait.

We want 'order' first, which can enable a bit of prosperity, and then the slow grind to basic freedoms, it's generally the only path. Almost all revolutions end up with fairly bad tyrannies.

Singapore is much better managed that India or Russia, which are both nominal democracies.
> Did you know that above the bar level the venues actually handle, and take a substantial percentage of, the merch sales?

You're referring to large amphitheater and arena shows, for big artists. This isn't (necessarily) true of most touring acts.
Running Wordpress on a single server is relatively painless. Document the setup and configure automatic backups of the relevant configs, www folder, and database.

I have another server ssh in every night and drop everything to a folder in my dropbox account. Replicates to computers that have incremental backups and less granular off-site backups.
Skateboarding!

It's a bit hard to find time for it during a workday, but sometimes I just have the urge to get moving and trade lunch with my colleagues for some time on the board. A really nice change of pace, and I can usually think much better after getting some movement in, even if it's just some light cruising.

I'd still like to have another hobby which I can do during the winter, and maybe even while commuting. Maybe I should take up something like knitting, or any other craft which can be done during short downtimes.
We run as much as we can out of us-east-2 because it has more uptime than us-east-1, and I don't think I've ever regretted that decision.
I've done something similar to the author but with only ufw and port forwarding.

My closet server is set up with a cron job that runs daily and updates my domain's dns on Cloudflare to my currently allocated dynamic ip.

U
Port forwarding sends the 80/443 requests to my closet server.

Closet server only accepts 80/443 requests from Cloudflare's published ip addresses via ufw rules so that all traffic must pass through Cloudflare to be accepted.

Nginx on closet server routes it to the appropriate internal port for that service.

Maybe someone has broken into my home network, but I hope this solution works relatively well!
For all it's worth, I've arranged bar level gigs where there's a ticket at the door and it's split between the bands and promoter/band, bar takes a small percentage of merch sells and band takes a small percentage of drink sales (this one is the hardest to negotiate on my experience). So you are even more in the right and the account you are replying to is even more in the wrong, from my experience.
In the absence of an income tax and presence of similar overall government spending then increased rates of other revenue sources are a first order effect.

How this shapes the valuation of other things, like houses, is an interesting second order effect. Property tax rates shape how affordable housing is during the mortgage period and after.
A slope at a park is nice for the occasional sled, but slopes aren't that great when you're trying to play organized sports, or if you want to set up temporary structures or host events at your park (kind of difficult to set up a tent at an angle). Other than natural areas, such as national parks or forests, these are the primary reasons I have been to parks in recent years.
Yes I’m posting updates here: https://mobile.twitter.com/rustftgu

Thanks for the interest!
That’s a great example. I wish I used it in the article.
Yes the P covariance matrix does depend on online input, anyone who has ever used them would know so perhaps you have no idea what you are talking about.

If instead of making such posts you would like to learn more then:
The P matrix is changed both through the model and the Kalman gain, where in both of these steps it depends on online input (model can depend on the state) and the Kalman gain depends on sensor measurements.
Rendering-as-a-service already exists, even in a fairly distributed form.
They can do even worse. I tried to get my battery replaced on an iPhone 5s and sent it via UPS. They returned it with a broken power button and refused the battery change for that reason. Apple support did not help and the “geniuses” of the local Apple Store were condescendingly pushing the fault on me. That was just before leaving for 1 month of vacation overseas.

hey, sorry about that delay in response. Following up internally about your ticket, so you should hear back very soon.

Changing your repo name shouldn't break the project nor prevent subsequent builds. It's just the Pages dashboard will still show the old repo name - so the only way to update that is to delete the project and make a new one: this is a bug we're working to fix!
With Illustrator, getting any change sure is an uphill battle. I wonder how many years it’ll be before selection rectangles are drawn properly when the canvas is rotated?
I have JPEGView installed on most of my vintage Mac collection (that can display colors, anyway)
I'm pretty sure I wasn't even born when that software was the latest and greatest!
I'm sure it was a mixed bag but Corporate Media did not break the Epstein story. They famously avoided it, @see Amy Robach and ABC News leak. The Miami Herald, a local paper, broke the story thanks to a great journalist there.

IMO you are really discounting just how massive the importance of local journalism has historically been.

PE firms are now buying up and destroying these once great outlets, including the Miami Herald.
How much latency and inconsistency can you live with? Could you dump full or incremental database backups from your secure enclave, upload them to blobs and ingest on the cloud? Could you publish a change feed of sorts to Kafka and apply changes?
This is what I do with two 1080p monitors; I don't need IPS at all, since I'm always viewing them close to perpendicular to the screen. Has worked just fine for me the past couple of years.
Of course not. Music was business every single period musicians were free and not serfs or slaves or something like that.

Music is fun, people like fun. That being said, there were almost always churches of some sort who would tend to play music too.
For sure the vendors are garbage. But maybe the COTR should've rejected the work if it was unacceptable.
Totally agree, I am not a fan of deeply hierarchical UI.
> There's no reason companies can't move to existing small cities or towns.

There is. They put their offices where they can find workers. You can staff a Google office from the people who already live in San Francisco, not from the people who already live in Tuscon.

And people don't want to live in a company town. If you live in a major city which has offices for every major company in your industry, you can buy a house there and not worry about what happens if you switch jobs. Are you going to want to buy a house some place you'd have to sell it if you ever wanted to work for a different company?

> Some of it occurs naturally, at least for the worst offenders, like CA to TX in recent years.

That only happens when the offenders are extraordinarily egregious. And even then, they're not moving from San Francisco to a thousand separate little towns. They're pretty much all going to Austin -- which has a higher population than San Francisco.

> Are there though? I haven't really seen this.

Have they actually moved zoning control to the state level anywhere? There are proposals to do it in California but I'm not sure that any of them have been implemented.
The abstract should read

Semi-supervised learning is one candidate, utilizing a large amount of unlabeled data conjunction with a small amount of labeled data.
As you point out, there is always someone you won't be able to reach, but why not at least move to media that are at least marginally more accessible than Facebook?

E-mail for instance: You need an E-mail account to sign up for Facebook, so that means E-mail's userbase is at least a superset of Facebook's. Since you need Internet for E-mail, then the user-base for a normal, Internet web site should be a superset of E-mail users. Keep looking for supersets until the effort spent reaching the next one doesn't make sense anymore.
Ask HN: How do you Track new Versions of Dependencies?
I have been thinking a lot about pro-active dependency management. I would like to have a tool or a way to gather latest release versions of various tools and then ideally get alerted if a new version gets released.

For example Gradle is at 7.3.1, if 7.3.2 becomes available I would like to know about it. Doing it for a single tool is simple, but having to track latest Git version, NPM, Gradle and all the other tools I work with doesn't scale very well.

Is there an existing solution to this problem?
> Yes, if that's what I want. It's not really my backyard. it's proverbial, but we can't make the mistake of taking it literally. it's someone else's front yard. I have no say in it.

A century of established case law say otherwise. If a private landowner wants to change the zoning on a parcel of land near established residences and the residences can show decrease in property values as a result of rezoning the courts have consistently awarded financial damages to the owners of the residences from the city that decides to change the zoning.
Hopefully nobody is watching the video as part of their training for building an actual retaining wall. It's just information for the curious.
These types of foods are more tasty and snackable than following the money and/or turning the justifiable complaints of overworked healthcare professionals to effect systematic prevention.
Ask HN: Best expense reporting app for small business (~50 employees)?
Our small business has about ~50 employees, all with varying degrees of technological understanding (blue collar to white collar). I'm looking for an app that allows us to report expenses

- company credit card

- personal credit card for reimbursement.

- mileage reimbursement

Any suggestions/recommendations?
Apple Music’s voice plan likely to launch with iOS 15.2
Okay, let's continue that line of thought.

So there must be some special software/firmware that only runs on RPi and a cloner could take advantage of that work when selling their board. What software would that be?
>So, anyone that had a personal attachment to that music is dead.

1923 is right around the first few recordings of country blues, and I've got a few of them in my regular playlist. We're not dead, there are dozens of us !
Another example of Anonymous types would be a simple .Select(x=> new {x.ID, x.Name});

Sometimes people lump these in with dynamic objects but those are a very different class of thing indeed.

Now, what would be -really- nice is if we had a way to specify that an anonymous type implements an interface. That could potentially simplify a -lot- of DTO modeling.
I'm not sure if it's still true today, but it used to be the case in Mexico that playing recorded music in a business required paying considerable royalties.

This has interesting side-effect: hiring a live musician or a small band became an attractive alternative, and so the restaurants and bars are filled with live music on the weekends.

I think live music is probably something we should get back to. Musicians would obviously be on board because they get to make a few bucks, customers are happy to get some live entertainment with their drinks / meal, business owners are happy because the customers stick around longer.

In the digital era, recorded music wants to be free, but it's absolutely an inferior substitute to live performances, and I strongly feel that anything that helps musicians support themselves via performances is good for our culture.
Carmaker’s $23B Plan to Keep You Paying Long After You’ve Bought Your Car
I believe ROS (Robotic operating system) has good implementations of state estimation algorithms. If you are worried about memory footprint, then Durbin and Koopman ("Time Series Analysis by State Space Methods") has a scalar version of squared-root Kalman filter (it ingests one number at a time rather a whole vector at a time). You may have to implement it yourself though.
I receive the NYT on my doorstep on weekends and my copies say "Printed in Georgia". The content does not vary, though.
And on both of them Discovery sucks, I'm not surprised he thinks this way.

Not sure if it's a problem of their engineers or executives sucking, quite the contrary, I think it's a problem that needs to first be solved at a smaller scale before it catches up. Music streaming was also a niche thing when not many of us had a portable device that was connected to the Internet.
All cloud tech is proprietary.

There is no such thing as trivially setting up a secure, fully automated cloud stack, much less anything like a streamlined cloud agnostic toolset.

Deprecated services are not the discussion here. We're talking tactical availability, not strategic tools etc.

Rogue employees with access? You mean at the cloud provider or at your company? Still doesn't make sense. Cloud IAM is very difficult in large organizations, and each cloud does things differently.

I worked at fortune 100 finance on cloud security. Some things were quite dysfunctional, but the struggles and technical challenges are real and complex at a large organization. Perhaps you're working on a 50 employee greenfield startup. I'll hesitate to call you a clown as you did me, because that would be rude and dismissive of your experience (if any) in the field.
> HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 change some of the dynamics of that directly

Put bluntly: HTTP/2 and partitioned caches means using a CDN is flat out worse than self-hosting.
My idea has been to build a centralized subscription service, somewhat like Apple News, but structured differently.

You buy a monthly subscription that grants you credits each month. You can allocate those credits to whichever news sources you want, and for that month you get unlimited access to your chosen outlets.
It's kind of surprising to learn that this is a transcript! The "play" icon was really easy to miss for me and almost entirely blended in to what I now realize is a video thumbnail (I thought it was just a header image!).
The new American dream: getting paid to do nothing?
I've been considering writing up something for extended kalman filters like this. Kalman filters are great but in my experience extremely limited without the non-linear extensions which make them useful in a much wider variety of problems.
Industry uses a lot of things. Including Kalman filters, they are actually pretty common.

It's true that a lot of industry problems can be solved by linear regression, simple filters, Gaussian distributions, etc. Which can make you wonder why you bothered about all that stuff in your degree - but it's also true that there are a lot of interesting problems in industry that just aren't amenable to the most basic approaches.

It's also true that for the most part, bashing your head on this stuff in university improved your ability to think about the problem spaces.
There is pressure behind every reason for every choice we make, and that's the entire point. We don't choose between urban and rural areas assuming that everything else is equal. We choose between fundamentally different lifestyles and opportunities, subject to constraints based on our wealth, connections, marketable skills, formal qualifications, and so on.

Besides, in a modern society, unemployment rarely causes people to starve/freeze to death. The choice between urban/rural living is about quality of life, not survival.
Definitely has not been my experience. People who interview well are generally excellent communicators and communication is of utmost importance when working with a team.
Ask HN: Has Google ever recommended a privacy extension for Chrome?
The Google Chrome product blog just published an article about their 10 favorite Chrome extensions of 2021:

https://blog.google/products/chrome/our-favorite-chrome-extensions-2021/

This got me wondering if Google has ever recommended a privacy extension for Chrome.
wouldn't a raspberry pi do it from within the drawer?

Not only https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com does similar, but https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/raspberry-pi-3-4-web-s... has some numbers.

Seems feasible, unless you are the NYT.
Some places are interviewing for a single open role, conduct all interviews and then make a decision from that candidate pool. Being towards the end might be an advantage in that case.

Other places open up several new roles, and conduct rolling interviews until all are filled. In this case I would rather get in early and compete for one of N positions instead of competing for the final one. With several similar roles open they could also decide which fits you the best and make the offer based on that. When there is only one junior position still open, that might be the only option.
It's intentional plausible deniability. By creating the manual step you can shift blame away. It's just like the concept of personal health dashboards which are designed to keep an asymmetry in reliability information from a host and the client to their personal anecdata experiences. Ontop of all of this, the metrics are pretty arbitrary.

Let's not pretend businesses haven't been intentionally advertising in deceitful ways for decades if not hundreds of years. This just happens to be current strategy in tech of lying and deceiving customers to limit liability, responsibility, and recourse actions.

To be fair, it's not it's not just Amazon, they just happen to be the largest and targeted whipping boys on the block. Few businesses under any circumstances will admit to liability under any circumstances. Liability has to always be assessed externally.
It's not as common, I agree, but I work for a data center company that does almost exclusively bare metal servers and colocation. We have a VPS part of our company but it's a different brand name and you won't find it on the main company's website.

I still have Hetzner for a dedicated server in Europe, and it's fine. I've had it for several years now with no issues.

Before getting this job, I noticed that most dedicated servers in America are from smaller companies that re-sell their dedicated servers or colocated servers from companies like my work's or other data centers (who mainly specialize in colocation services instead of selling their own hardware.

I suppose in America, the main people companies target are for simple cheap VPS servers or "cloud scaling" services. You can also make a lot more imo by stuffing as many customers onto 1 server instead of dedicated hardware for each customer. Also a lot less management and support needed. At work 99% of our maintenance and support is for individual dedicated servers. The VPS side of the company requires very little intervention on our end.
It is failures all the way down.

Medical systems are poor solution for basic individual health. The problem is a rampant consumerist mindset. You can't pay someone to eat healthier for you or exercise for you. We already know how to eat better and exercise, we just don't want to do it.

There's no magic words or pills that a doctor can give someone to solve this problem - it cant be outsourced.
Serious question: Why the hell do all modern browsers not come with all of these fonts bundled in, like they do with CA certificates?

Google Fonts and all the free fonts that ship in Debian/Ubuntu are as close to a de facto standard as anything on the internet. Why not just lazy load them on first launch of a browser (or first use on a webpage) and cache them forever?
For example, there's a lock on the Annotations demo. This makes me think it's unavailable. But clicking on it shows both the code and the output! That's because the demo has been unlocked since 5 people have sponsored it. If it's been unlocked, why is there a lock icon?

This is a neat idea. Install a simple agent in all customers' environments, select AWS dependencies, then monitor uptime over time. Aggregate across customers, and then go to AWS with this data.
Django has more features, a _much_ larger ecosystem, excellent documentation.

Elixir is dramatically more performant and will scale better. A lot of people enjoy Elixir more or find it conceptually more interesting than Python.

IMO the number of packages and facilities provided by Django will outweigh Phoenix's performance for 95% of users.
Yes, I've run an enterprise server stack on an old closet, with a home air conditioner venting into the warehouse. Even when the A/C unit died for three days one summer (we had to keep the door open and run several fans), the servers, ranging from 3-7 years old, kept running. Far from optimal, but the systems stay up and the company stays in business.
