This is patent nonsense. You think selling merchandise at the show creates more money then selling the actual tickets to the show?

That's ludicrous. The most successful product people who make music have, by far is selling people the experience of listening to that music, either in person or via recordings.
Most of the Tilde sites allow users to post standard web pages (i.e. using http/https).
yeah, that's not when "the music business" started, though. that's one particular subcategory, thousands of years after it started.

calling that the start of the music business was just ludicrous. it's an overly specific example for an overly general topic. it's incoherent.
> Which one provides more value to an organization?

Neither, they both provide the same value in the long term.

Senior engineers cannot execute on everything they commit to without having a team of engineers they work with. If nobody trains junior engineers, the discipline would go extinct.

Senior engineers provide value by building guardrails to enable junior engineers to provide value by delivering with more confidence.
It's funny but when I saw "AWS Outage" breaking, my first thought was "I bet it's US-east-1 again."

I know it's cheap but seriously... not worth it. Many of us have the scars to prove this.
> If your definition of a ‘walled garden’ is anything that can’t be accessed directly by the web browser Google or Apple pre-installed on your device, I think you might want to reconsider.

No that's not my definition but also, why would I reconsider? Are you angry at Google or Apple and trying to defend the Tildes or something?

I'm using "walled" in the sense that there's a level of gatekeeping the community does, so builds up walls, to attract a certain kind of person. This kind of person _wants_ to hang out on a shared TUI-based *nix system. That's the wall. Much like a signup wall requires people have logins. That's all.
The problem with simple innovations in old methods, is that there is very rarely anything new under the sun, odds are good its already been done. The paper does not evaluate on any of the big standard benchmark either. The paper spends a surprising/suspicious amount of time on very basic things. "The divergence issues of Newton’s method with line search seems to be a relatively unknown fact." No its well known!

It looks interesting, but some things, like the L-M lambda beeing constant? No, you adapt it to the data increasing and decreasing it in accordance with the feedback from the step error predictions. Similar, but not identically to what is proposed here. Id need to read it carefully and it doesnt look bad, but think I'll just wait for the reviewers.

No, hunger is an important cause of the result. The anticipated effects of hunger are the reason that open-and-shut cases are scheduled right before lunch.

The problem is that the researchers were eager to conclude that hunger can influence case outcomes, and unable to consider the possibility that hunger can influence case scheduling.
It’s because Down Detector works off of user reports rather than automatically detecting outages somehow. So, every time a major service goes down (whether infrastructure like AWS or Cloudflare, or user-facing like YouTube or Facebook), some users will blame Google, ISPs, cellular providers, or some other unrelated service.
Lol, when I read remote jobs, I was thinking this was going to email me queued sidekiq tasks as they were picked up. I need to take a break from the keyboard.
Sorry I apologise. Everything non-streaming vs streaming alone by itself. That's a good catch on your part, my bad.
I share OP's general statement. I've been using Flask and Django on and off for near a decade.

When deciding between Flask and Django, I look at the following requirements:

User accounts

Object Relational Manager

Database Migrations

User registration/social authentication

Admin Site

As a general rule of thumb if my project is going to need 3 or more of these things I just go with Django.

You CAN do all of that with Flask, but you end up wiring together a bunch of third party dependencies just to end up with what Django would have provided you out of the box.
Walking my kid to his second favorite playground on the Upper East Side, there was a sign opposing the shadows from the Blood Center Tower (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/18/nyregion/new-york-blood-c...). Because why should Manhattan have a gasp 23 story building! It would ruin the character of this neighborhood in Manhattan to have a building that is 70 meters high!

What utter nonsense.
IMO if you want to end the commercialization of content, targeting copyright is not the most effective route. Big players will still be able to use their power to ensure that they have control over distribution, and will continue to profit off of content. Small players, such as the people coming up with new content, will find it harder and harder to make any money, to the benefit of the big players who no longer need to share profits with them.

The more effective approach would be to simply remove the economy entirely. In a post-scarcity or communist or whatever you want to call it society, you could abolish copyright entirely without hurting anyone, because no one's able to profit off it in the first place and spending effort on things that don't pay off is no longer penalized.
> Leaky abstractions are for people who are too lazy to think

Worthless blanket statement.

> Look at Apple Metal and the version of C++ they use for it.

That's a very specific case of a shader compiler that is disguised as C++. It has a terrifying list of restrictions (for a C++ programmer), and I would say that recursive calls are the least of your problems there.

Obviously, it is not a design failure but a set of hard constrains that lead to those restrictions. Of course they would give you recursion happily if they could. People who can do that sort of compiler are not idiots.

It just shows that you understand little about languages. Yet you think you are in position to comment on language implementers' and designers' jobs. Say hello to Dunning and Kruger.
Some google sheets functions aren't updating in a timely manner for me. Maybe people google as a backup for aws and they have to throttle certain service from a higher load
you just need to remember that in case you make bridges:

- you need to enable hardware offloading for it

- different models have different limits on number of hardware offloaded bridges

- if it's not hardware offloaded, you run all traffic through cpu and kill throughput
I wouldn't call that being forced, I'd call that weighing your priorities and making a decision.

Where I live, you can pay your own rent alone working a full time minimum wage job. If you're turning that down, the trade off isn't worth it. You would rather live in a densely packed place if it enables you to do professional work not available to you otherwise.

It's always a trade off.
If all you're ever doing is hosting a static blog, then yeah, you don't need something like Kubernetes; however, if you want to host other services (e.g., database, authentication, comments, etc) then it quickly behooves you to build on some higher-level platform or else you'll end up building your own (poorly) and missing out on all of the experience, documentation, and tooling that are publicly available for Kubernetes, Docker, etc.
Can you give me a reference?

> Life isn't some game of throne that incentivized the creation of bloodthirsty ruthless power mongers except in some of the most dystopian place on earth.

I mean, even in the United States I see people doing everything they can to hold on to power and wealth and accumulate more at the expense of those who don't have it, and who are simply doing their best to survive.

> Economic and technological force might make such attempt at control a pointless exercise, especially since a cure will likely be made public by scientists.

Might. But will the cure be made public by scientists if it's funded by those who don't want it public? And even if it is made public, will the average person have the resources to make it even if the cure itself is available? Will they be allowed to have those resources?
Some sage advice I learned a while ago: "Avoid us-east-1 as much as possible".
I'm not affiliated, but https://close.com. Not as overwhelming as Salesforce for a tiny team (https://close.com/compare/salesforce-alternative). Syncs with your email so even if you send an email using Thunderbird, it will appear in Close.io and vice versa. It has nice features like "Leads never emailed" or "No contact > 30 days", etc, although the UI for messages is slightly straining, but nothing horrible.

They also send you a bundle of PDF books that appear to be useful "Sales-Resource-Library". Here's a `tree`:

> Different areas have different desires, and thus different laws.

The problem in this case is that it's not different desires. The existing landowners in every area have the same incentive -- to increase artificial scarcity so that the land they already own increases in value.

The people this comes at the expense of are the future residents of that area, who for that very reason don't have a vote there. If you live in town A and get a job in town B, you might like for town A to have restrictive zoning (where you're selling your old house) and town B to have relaxed zoning (where you're buying a new one), but you only get a vote in town A, until you've actually moved to town B at which point your incentives invert. So if zoning is local, every place structurally has unduly restrictive zoning.

This is one of the few places where local control doesn't work, specifically because the interests of current residents and future residents are in conflict.
Roads and cars are just terrible from a capacity, noise, and air pollution perspective.
I still don't understand. What is the solution? Just for context, I despise facebook and genuinely believe they are nothing, literally nothing but a drain on society. But. . .

I don't see a more accessible option. Facebook is as close to ubiquitous and universal as you can get, really. If someone cannot, not won't as the original poster said, but simply cannot access facebook, what other option is there? That means they have no smartphone, or internet access, at all. Therefore, there are no electronic options that exist. Physical paper mailers home? If they cannot afford a smartphone, what are the chances they have a permanent residence? Or, what for the parents who have no permanent residence. So that's not a solution. Next option - in person group meetings? Work, kids, health, transportation, any number of things exist that could be a barrier there. So what's the solution? That's not a flippant question, that's a real question. I don't see it.

Again, accessibility should be about ensuring everyone has the opportunity to access the goods and services in an equivalent way. Not about ensuring everyone gets to access the goods and services in the specific way they want to.

This all started with OP originally talking about not wanting a facebook. Not to sound too hateful, but part of living in society is understanding that certain personal concessions will have to be made. Like it or lump it, decisions have consequences.

Maybe I've gone too far off the path, but I think it's all related.
Show HN: Self Hosted Netlify Clone
repo: https://github.com/newbeelearn/sserver

docs: https://newbeelearn.github.io/sserver/

This is my mvp a simple self hosted netlify clone that auto syncs your content from github repository and serves it on https.

If you have gh-pages you can try it right away as shown in the examples

./sserver -token "$GITHUB_AUTH" -repo "https://github.com/newbeelearn/sserver.git?ref=gh-pages"

My plan is to add e-commerce functionality to it so that users can sell digital content i.e. books/videos/courses etc. through single config file in their github repository where the content is stored without needing to change their workflow.

If you would like any specific feature please let me know in the comments or create issue in the repository. Looking forward for your feedback.
Most of the money in the music industry goes to nihilists, not the musicians, so yes, you've successfully described the situation.

That's why established bands often have incorporated. They can keep some of the overhead for themselves by doing the work or paying someone a salary, which establishes a healthier power dynamic than "we'll cut you a check with whatever is left over after expenses."

Bands are poor because It's All About the Music means they get fleeced left and right. They don't call it the Music Industry because it's all roses. They call it that because something is being chewed up at one end and spat out the other. The Grist Is Made of People.
It was. They made improvements with their election app. Few years ago, it is resource hog and eat up batteries like it is candy while idling. It went from 100% to 30% within two hours. Now, it barely used up much resource and very light on battery. I recommend trying it out again, it is much better now than it was before.
> This is equivalent to finding a (possible) minimum of a function f(x) where f'(x) = F(x).

I'd like to clarify that the "equivalence" might be misleading. Just because you have a vector-valued function, that does not imply it has an antiderivative you can minimize, so merely having that scalar antiderivative actually gives the problem more structure and thus intrinsically makes it "easier" in that sense.
Good luck naming your baby "X Æ A-Ⅻ" in Germany:

https://www.iamexpat.de/expat-info/german-expat-news/german-...

An appropriate German name is one that is first recognised as a proper name. It cannot be associated with evil (e.g. Satan, Lucifer) or deemed religiously insensitive (e.g. Christus or Jesus). A name cannot be a product, brand, surname or a place name. Finally, German names have to indicate the child’s gender and they are not allowed to cross (one exception is Maria, which can be used as a boy’s second name). Neutral names (e.g. Alex, Kim) must be followed by a second name that indicates the child’s gender.
Yes, my understanding was always that subscriptions and newsstand sales basically paid to get a physical paper into people's hands. But actually creating the content for that physical paper was paid for by advertising. I'm sure the specifics varied but, to a first approximation, those were the basic economics.

Put the paper online for free and, again to a first approximation, you now need the same advertising revenue to support the same reporting, editing, etc. But with the classifieds blown up and advertising generally going from print dollars to digital dimes, the revenue available to put out a newspaper cratered while the relevant costs didn't go down much at all.
WTF? So KFC, the fried chicken restaurant, has a game console now
The Dash/Plus System
This is right. It's not Facebook that ate the media's lunch, it was craigslist, ebay, and any marketplace that allows free listings. They've been trying to make up that revenue ever since. Subscriptions were always a pittance.

That's not to say Facebook didn't make things worse. They make everything worse; They even ruined wishing friends happy birthday. But the news vs the internet is a much older story than middle-aged social media platforms.

The news companies had their opportunity to win this, but they moved far too late.
So basically the dream is decentralized "Buy me a coffee" buttons? I can self-host a WordPress site, install WooCommerce on it, and people can "heart" it using BitCoin, Stripe, or a variety of platforms. What's the advantage of web3 over that? (just trying to understand)
You can argue all you want. Giving up on simplicity and accepting complexity seems like a natural thing to do for landing on Moon, no ? No amount of "lets make it simple and just jump really high" will do that.

Lets live in real world, you can't dummy out everything.

The term is wicked problem - it depends on a lot of stakeholders, many of which already in the comfort zone, and you can't change shit without having a major storm.
It's not pride that has been hurt...it's a US navy warship being blown up.
The announcement doesn't indicate why I would want this. Is it for politically motivated people who want to help push IPv6 forward? Is it to simplify configuration?

I had to click through to the FAQ to read about additional cost for IPv4, but there the difference isn't specified, so it led to more questions, but I gave up.

Reminded me of this other front page item: https://gds.blog.gov.uk/2013/07/25/faqs-why-we-dont-have-the...
Free will is part of the equation, but when good mid-density housing has been illegal in North America since WWII is it really a question of free will?
What is y in these equations
I have answered it and again you are answering it ex. here:

"A CC payment can look good, but it can be reversed because there other other channels, outside of the CC circuit, to prove those transactions are to be considered fraudulent.

There is no such mechanism in the crypto space, so basically they are good unless you have an issue that can't be solved by the chain itself."

This is a feature NOT a bug. It comes with it's own consequences of course but that's exactly what makes it enforceable just like physics enforce its laws.
I think you are caught in thinking the status quo of the music industry and its history determine what all "valid" potential markets for music are, according to I guess some economical or political belief you have. That Discovery isn't a product right now doesn't mean that if done correctly it can't become a product that changes the music business even just a bit, you need a stronger argument to convince me of that than just "it's not the way it is because it's not how the current business made history".

I think there's a lot of people DJing, producing or jamming that would be ok with just getting pennies from their music being streamed or downloaded or whatever. Not every artist needs or wants to live from their art. For a lot the extra money is welcome specially as an incentive to do all the mastering and release work that's involved in releasing digital files or being on a streaming platform, which is not zero.

I agree it's similar to selling math, but for some reason no one completely understands people "bond" to "brands" of music more often than to "brands" of math. From my perspective, at least until there's thousands of festivals across the world per week to share proofs and formulas and programs, I think it's deceiving to think selling music is like selling math if you uncouple the music from the merchandise.
I just got ipv6 in my area the last week of November
Those people voluntarily leave rural areas due to their personal preferences. They would rather have a good job in an area that can support them than live in a pleasant area with worse job prospects.

People are rarely interested in living in dense urban areas due to the density itself. They are usually far more interested in the consequences of the density and the opportunities enabled by it.
> Sounds like PornHub or similar could easily branch into providing a separate service for general videos if they wanted. They already have all this stuff down for the most part.

The key part there is "if they wanted."

Any upstart would have to burn who knows how much capital to try and ramp up, hosting videos for free and getting only a tiny fraction of the ad revenue that Google can extract from a video due to their smaller scale. Even if somebody wanted to subsidize this with reserves or VC funding, the endgame is that they're competing directly against Google, and if faced with actual competition Google can always afford to undercut them until they ran out of reserves or VC funding.

Far better for these sites to claim a niche that Google has no interest in and just fly below the radar.
systemd-timesyncd? ;)
I looked into them a while back, and they do generally seem to be capable devices. I think they fall into the too-footgun-y category I mention above, though -- if you don't already know a lot about networks, you can easily leave gaping holes in your network security since there are so many options to screw up. They're a bit on the expensive side, too, and honestly even trying to figure out which router to buy was enough of a nightmare to dissuade me.
It's been dying for too long, but it isn't really, no? What gets to the frontpages of HN and reddit are copyedited articles, not tweets. And like 85% of my twitter timeline is links to those articles. So, who are we fooling, people do want to read edited articles.
I think it's a big step to say that people have done this throughout history to say it's been the norm. Fighting wars is normal historically as well, but most people in history didn't fight in a war.

I think it's also worth considering the extent to which these movements you're describing would have been undertaken by groups rather than individuals.
> Users are going to upload copyrighted material, and the law says that's the platform's responsibility.

The law says the opposite, this is what Section 230 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is about. The platform is responsible for acting upon takedown requests from copyright holders. Everything YouTube negotiated with major copyright holders is extralegal.
