If you think music died or is dying, you're probably just not exposing yourself to enough new music. Or you're just living in the past. Or a combination of both.

Not sure what autotune has to do with anything. It's over-use in the top hits can be annoying, but who gives a fuck. You don't have to listen to that music. The vast majority of music I listen to, across a wide spectrum of genres, doesn't use it.
I doubt the person who could not identify Kanye West could also identify nearly any other musician. Do you think they'd be able to identify John Lennon?
Except this version doesn’t compile. I’m not sure that it’s possible to get it to compile: type-level Idris is actually a _subset_ of Idris and pattern-matching non-ADTs is half-broken on the type level. You can also observe this problem in this simplified example:

f : Char -> Type
f '0' = Int
f _ = Char

g : (c : Char) -> (f c)
g '0' = 0
g c = c
So I guess that's a great way to shovel hundreds of thousands of legacy Workspace users down to Google consumer.

Honestly, the only reason why I'm even on Workspace is because of Gmail aliases, but this news is reminding me that I need to stop paying them $12/month for this (which used to be free back in the day, and it was $6/month just last year!)
Are they holding your domain hostage somehow?

I highly recommend tig because it lets you easily stage each line/change separately. Together with interactive rebase and fixup commits, it becomes super easy to group changes where they belong. For fixup commits with tig (in main view go to the commit to fixup and press '='), my .gitconfig has:

[tig "bind"]
main = = !git commit --fixup=%(commit)

There's an overwhelming amount of good music coming out right now, you just need to put in the effort to explore it.

I got deep into niche online electronic artists over the pandemic and there's just so much creativity from young kids publishing stuff on soundcloud with only a few thousand listens.
Yes, it's nearly ubiquitous. It usually isn't used in an OBVIOIOUS way, just to make up for less than perfect takes.

The go to software is Meloldyne. It's...crazy capable. It can even return single notes in polyphonic music.

Watch this from about the 3:00 mark on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smOmTZWddrE&t=185s

(Note this video is very extreme editing, it absolutely possible (in fact easier) to use Melodyne in a way that sounds utterly natural)
It's not so easy to find them - they all are invisible in the huge crowd of hip-hop records.
Welcome to the post-album era.
I was thinking of something more like Drake's equation.

P = T * Hbar * Cbar^Dh * E * (Po)^N

P = Productivity
T = Tiredness
Hbar = 2PI/(HackerNews posts read)
Cbar = 2PI/(speed of light)
Dh = Disruptions per hour
E = Environment
Po = Productivity of people you work with
N = Number of people you work with

> I'd be less angry if they offered some way to escape. Let use merge/transition our accounts with personal Google accounts. Let us have personal accounts with custom domain, iCloud offers that feature now.

Same exact story, although we have been using it like this closer to 20 years now.
Yes, actually it would be. Those are all things required to live a life that I find fulfilling.
1Password lost me when they went subscription model and required mandatory servers on their system to keep it running. It went from being one of the best password storage solutions to one of the worst. I'm still using 1Password 6 as that was the last version which could run offline.
> Ask people on the street to actually name a Kanye West song and most of them struggle. I'm almost tempted to say that "Kanye West doesnt't exist or that he's just famous because his wife is famous."

Not a great example - whilst Kanye is undeniably a vacuous prat these days, he was one of the most influential music producers in his generation and has two, arguably three, albums that are widely regarded as having raised the bar for hip-hop. He's won 22 Grammys.

Have you heard "Jesus walks"? The man was brilliant.

He has certainly contributed more creative talent to the world than Kim Kardashian. They were both extraordinarily famous before they married.

Maybe the newer music just isn't as good? New != better.
1) You can stop feeding personal data into the Google (advertisement) ecosystem

2) Google is notorious for killing off services or changing their agreements at a moments notice like here so there is a chance they'll drop their offering or increase prices.

3) Google support is either terrible or nonexistent (unless you're lucky enough to get your complaint to the HN frontpage).

I'm an affected user and I plan to put in the effort to migrate -- I only use it for email on a custom domain and have been doing regular backups (using gmvault) in case Google changed their mind so moving to a new service should be a breeze.
This is just a symptom of the cultural zeitgeist moving out of the mainstream distribution channels. People are still listening to new music, it’s just not happening the way it used to (e.g. labels, records, radio, or even streaming services). A lot of new music is discovered/distributed through social media which makes it much harder to quantify what even counts as a “listen”.
Autotune the special effect a la T-Pain is not ubiquitous, but Autotune, the process, definitely is. The software itself (or its cousin, Melodyne), or the rack unit are still used in most pop music. Even bedroom studios will have it. Not using it today is pretty much a stylistic statement.

It can be set to be very subtle to the point of imperceptible, keeping the vibrato and the portamento, to the point it is impossible to pinpoint its usage. But it kinda has a sound: vocals that go trough it sound absolutely flawless.

Whether regular people can perceive it, I have no idea.
> Is autotune ubiquitous?

Yes. What you're thinking of is "autotune" as in totally overdone, which is the signature sound people know. What the parent is referring to is autotune as in tone correction (which is, funnily enough, what the autotune software did, unless you turned it to 11). And that's everywhere; it's basically a standard part of a post-production pipeline right now. The thing is that you really can't notice it; it's just that singers hit the tone just a bit better.

And even live concerts are not safe, you can easily (and cheaply!) do that in real-time by now.
So, does anyone have a recommended alternative for a mail provider with support for custom domain names?

Like a lot of people this is literally the only reason I have a legacy workspace account.

Also, I guess, any recommendations for a decent IMAP client for Android?
The Spectator is definitely not a tabloid, and that's hardly a defense of her actions. It's just Rachel Johnson namedropping in her society column.
I don't mean to be nonconstructive but... my gut response is "naaah".

A generation of wealthy nostalgics overspends on the same old music.

A generation of hard-up youth (and there's nothing wrong with that in strictly origin-of-media-cultures terms!) won't pay anything the "music market" can easily measure, for what they actually value.

Musicians aiming for commercial appeal really seem to be scraping the barrel now. There are people with new ideas but the profusion of barrel-scrapers makes "try to sell big" a poor use of an inventive musician's time.

Where do we go from here? No idea, but it probably needs to involve inventing (or reinventing) some different kind of engagement.

I don't think my preferences for what kind stand much of a chance, but no matter.
Then I will then attack your use of equation to include addition and subtraction. Not a single differential, exponent or integral? Please ..
Likewise. Multi-generational family account. Around 17 users. Huge cost - i suspect many individuals just stop using it; a few may want to stay. Will one of us want to pay for it, and then collect subs from others - no - not really.
You should walk the music documentary This is Pop [0] on Netflix. It goes into a lot more details about the inventor and the history of Autotune.

In summary, it was used a lot longer (like old Mac 68k days) by a lot more artists than you realize. T-Pain turned an aid for lackluster artists into a form of art all its own. And the industry was pissed.

Bitcoin can absolutely be stolen at the point of a sword, and unlike with a bank, they can't just reverse it.

In some countries, bitcoin might be better... but there's got to be ways to help them that don't involve the whole world mining.

It might not have inflation, but I suspect that if the whole world switched to CC we would still have poverty, still have slave labor type wages for some, and all the usual stuff.

Bitcoin specifically seems to have a built in regressive tax in the form of transaction fees. Even sales tax is a bit better because that has exceptions for most essentials. This punishes those who rarely ever make transactions above 100$ and rewards those who make large ones regularly.

Exactly. As an early adopter, I brought who knows how many souls to gmail. I set up a couple small companies on Google Apps, or whatever they want to call it this year. (Mine is called GAFYD...)

When Google gave me a free HTC Magic handset in San Francisco, I showed it to everyone. I performed tricks with it. I made people want one.

To this day, three members of my immediate family use newer models of my old Pixel phone.

I told a man with a lot of CPU heavy jobs that GCE exists.

I'm talking about "influence" a lot.. but let's be clear, that's not all.

Google knows me--or at least it had the opportunity to. Somewhere between all those referrals and the emails in my mbox files at gmail and GAFYD which pre-date the launch of those services by a decade or my bug reports, or working in one of their datacenters for a while, they should know that I helped them be what they are today.

Maybe they do. Maybe this kind of treatment is what I deserve.

(to reiterate what others have posted, it isn't about the money. It's about the major unplanned migration. Which they still have not notified me about.)
The problem is the why is complete conjecture.

No one knows how human memories are stored, it's ridiculous to assert that quantum noise plays a role when we can't even tell whether it's the brain's connectome that stores memories vs. molecules like talin.

Here's the specific article: https://siliconvict.com/choose-money-first
That some people think numbers are magical equations?
What you think of as Autotune from your examples was popularized by Cher (turning it up all the way to produce that effect).

Used sparingly it can turn people with terrible pitch into reasonably good singers. Turned up a bit more gets you a pristine sound, which sometimes pops pleasantly but often enough ends up bland and less memorable. You may have to have an ear for music a bit to notice it.

Once you notice it, it is everywhere.
It ought to be. The whole problem right now is that broadcasters and content producers are the same thing. Content is almost 100% siloed now, and culture will fracture because of it. Content streaming should not require you to be a content producer. That isn't a competitive marketplace.

Who wants to have Neflix, Amazon Prime, Paramount+, HBOMax, Disney+, Hulu, CBS Whatevertheycallit, Peacock (NBC), etc., etc., etc., until you're paying $500/mo.? They'd love for that to happen, but there's no way. Nobody is going to do that.

Every content producer want 100% control and 100% profits. They're just going to kill the golden goose.

That seems to contradict your assertion that the government would have given him better service had more taxes been directed at them.

Having worked in this space my cynical observation is that you don't get the budget to run a big appeals process and a quality watchdog team, etc, etc, if you don't suck bad enough to need those things in the first place.
They define new music as from the last 18 months, so every recording is solidly inside the pandemic. I wonder if people just aren't going out as much.

I dunno -- would anyone care if superstars vanished? A much better result would be for lots of artists to make, like, middle class wages on Bandcamp or whatever (not saying this actually happens, just thinking about possible better end results).

Its always a fun thought experiment to understand the source of "truth" for ones ID in the USA. The main source is your Birth Records. but these can be lost and do often as older records are rather scattered about. If your older they want proof of stuff in your name like bills and other records, but these tend to be what ever name you gave them over the phone. Bank records are based off SSN or Driver ID, and thats based off your birth records. What if your birth records are lost? Lets say you have nothing, No ID, No Records, What do you do? how do you prove yourself is really your old you?
>> The music industry has been feeding us this crap more and more since the last 2 or 3 decades. Shoving it down everybody's throats is easy when they have no choice, but I guess people are getting tired of the sameness and looking for things with more nuance. Streaming gives us control over what goes into our ears and it seems that we like good things even if they are not as well produced.

> You name it, there is somebody out there making good music in that genre today. You just have to look beyond what is talked about on TV.

Sure, but that assertion doesn't actually help with finding those musicians. It could both be true that 1) great music is being produced AND 2) the horizons of the commercial/mainstream music industry have contracted, making those musicians harder for most people to discover. Sort of like how the movie industry is focusing more and more on easily exported comic book blockbusters, at the expense of middle-budget dramas and comedies.

Then there's also the fact that the streaming revolution has made crap easier to find, and there's a lot more crap than good stuff, which hurts discoverability. As an example: I've been looking for kids music on Spotify recently, and it's a sea of low-effort auto-tuned garbage from people following the economics of spam. It's pretty much impossible to find a good version of a classic song unless you already know the artist.

The article doesn't mention creating a national identification card in the USA nor does it talk about implementing any kind of nationwide identifier. Instead the on-boarding process for ID.me is described.

it's not only technical. the 60s-80s were also hugely innovative and maybe people are just rediscovering just how good older music is now that's trivial to stream it. Personally I think the 2000s onward, with exceptions of course have just not been great for music.
You don't think people on the street could name "Golddigger"? It was in the first episode of "Glee" for Pete's sake. I think you'd have more luck getting people to name a Kanye West song than whole lot of other artists.

It'd depend on the generation of course. Maybe GenX/Boomers would struggle with Kanye ( and I say this as a GenXer ) but I'd guess a lot of millenials/genZ's would struggle a bit with the Rolling Stones. I'm not sure what either proves.
I don't think I care about salary so much especially when I hear that the other countries have a better social safety net. As a software engineer I am confident I can make decent pay for the area. I am not looking to send my kids to private school or avail a world class surgeon or have a beach house or make millions. I just want a good happy middle class life writing code and without a lot of hustling. And somehow the US does not seem very conducive to that.
> The reasons are complex—more than just the appeal of old tunes

Are they so complex? Personally I can listen to popular music from up until 2015 and "get it", but after that, what's supposed to be popular music starts to sound more extreme than what I listen to alone. And it's not just a "me" thing, we have a wide variety of tastes in the family, and we agree that most of that plays on the radio these days is not what any of us would listen to. I don't know what niche this music is optimizing for, but I think that most people are out of it.

In parallel, lots of less-known artists continue putting out great stuff.
Is Microsoft building a gaming monopoly?
all those years spending $17.99 just to have ten songs I can play, the chickens have come home to roost.

if there's not as much money to be made selling new music I think it's mostly because there is so much new music. anyone can record an album now, or whatever, release it, do the whole nine yards, without having to go through that ridiculous hurdle so many years ago of "getting a deal with a label". if you're into a whole genre of music, that's great, but there's like 18 thousand other genres that are all just as valid now, unlike in the 1980s when there were something like five. All the bands that you think are great and have changed your life listening to are not anyone else's in your town. it's as though the music industry has spread across the whole galaxy to millions of planets and it would be impossible for there to ever be some artists that are as important as names like the Police or Madonna were in the 80s.

It was widely understood that even then, while "getting a record deal" was the only way you'd have a career, the publishing companies were generally in it to rip the musicians through a shredder and extract as much cash as they can before discarding the talent, except in the very unlikely case that said talent did well enough to still be viable for more albums.

I'm sort of amazed that industry hasn't just thrown in the towel at this point, they were basically gatekeepers on recording and distribution technology.
This only applies if you somehow are only exposed to music that is played on the radio. The same type of people who don't connect with current popular music probably didn't connect with previous popular music. Many people largely disengage with seeking out music once they enter adulthood, if they even did to any meaningful degree at all. They might still listen to music they liked when they were younger regularly, but they aren't going out of their way to discover it.

My parents are in their 70s and were never that into music. My dad kind of liked the Beach Boys, but if I asked either of them to name a Beatles song they would struggle as they were pretty much out of school by the time they reached superstardom. I, on the other hand, listen to tons of new music, but if you asked me to name a random song on the radio, I probably wouldn't be able to name the artist primarily because I don't give a shit about the kind of music they play on the radio. I don't think new radio music is any better or worse than old radio music. It's always been corporate-driven pablum, autotune or not. As for autotune itself, it can be effective when used appropriately as a texture, and not necessarily as something to pitch-correct a bad singer.
I feel like this is probably just more and more older people adopting streaming platforms as their way of listening

It was likely unbalanced in the beginning when these platforms first came out
Right, I don't think rebasing is that daunting if you take a few hours to practice. It's time well spent.

Sometimes you can even create empty commits (--allow-empty) up-front (if you already know about all the things that have to be changed) and fill them via fixup/rebase --autosquash

The consumer price inflation level is calculated by checking the current prices of things consumers typically buy, such as food.

Ethernet is by far the longest connection out of all of those, supporting up to 100 meters for 10G over copper and over 300 meters for fiber [1] which is pretty impressive. No other commodity interface comes close to that kind of range at that speed.

Wifi 6 officially has a real world limit of 700mbps [2] and drops to half that if you're more than a few feet from the router. Passive USB 3 and thunderbolt cables have a max length of 2 meters [3]. The rest of the interfaces you've listed like PCIe all operate on the scale of inches and plug straight into the motherboard.

Plus it really isn't very expensive to upgrade to 10G given the use case is pretty niche for home use. You can get a budget SFP+ Switch and 2 NICs for ~$300.
