I really don't like Apple Music's TASTE in music.

I'm with you there.

Apple (and really all the streaming services) are constantly crowing about how many millions of songs they have. How about some metric for how many good songs they have?

80% of my wife's record collection is not available on Apple Music, so I'm left ripping her records in what used to be my spare time.

The only reason we have Apple Music is for when an artist she follows puts out a new record, so she can listen to the album to decide if it's worth buying.

Also, Apple Music's Siri integration is horrendous. For example, no matter what request I shout to it, Siri can only play one particular song by Weird Al Yankovich. My guess is that there's something with the quotation marks commonly used in his name screwing up Apple's search mechanism.

I have high hopes for Apple's new classical streaming service. It has a chance to redeem itself there.
> or migrating your email to a personal account

There is no such migration plan offered, it's unclear how to do it, or if it's possible.

Of course you can move to a non-google host, just by changing your MX records or whatever.
You really need to add whether it's a top down or bottom up sales approach AND some sort of overview of the product/service. These factors would change the advice dramatically.

Typically you should be doing the sales when you start out, and apply new hires once the sales system is in place (either w/ a cofounder or salesperson). Otherwise you might be screwing yourself or another person. Depending on the product/service... you might be able to get away with a strong marketing effort and kicking "sales" down the road too.
I've flown over half a million miles on American. They've been pretty nice to me every time. I have nothing to dislike about them.
I'm not assuming anything. Lying is part of business. The reason he was told was almost certainly not the actual reason.
Yeah it's not good. I've only used a handful of times and every single time it just stopped playing in the middle of a song for no reason. It also sucks that they can't be bothered to create apps for anything other than their own stuff and Android. I can use Amazon music or Spoify with my Garmin Watch but not Apple Music.
The iOS and Android apps are both kinda okay, but the web, Mac and Windows ones just suck.
Unrelated but reminded me. Has anyone else noticed that no one on TV or in movies ever says goodbye at the end of a phone call? Everyone just rudely hangs up!

With my family (in Ireland) there are generally about 17 goodbyes ('bye', 'bye bye', 'bye bye bye'...)
> Both studies not only identify a decline in police activity and an increase in homicide after a high-profile incident but also argue that the nature of the decline in activity supports a “public scrutiny” mechanism for the effect. In particular, a drop in police activity for minor offenses drives the overall policing pullback. This fact supports a theory (as articulated by Premkumar) whereby officers reduce arrests that they deem “less important” in order to minimize public contact. That differs from a competing theory under which a loss of police “legitimacy”—which, in turn, reduces community engagement with the cops—drives the Ferguson Effect. If the competing theory were borne out, the study should have found reductions in arrests for offenses of all kinds.

I recently switched to iPhone from Pixel. The overall UI touch responsiveness and battery life is an upgrade but the OS features are neither upgrade or downgrade.

I also got Apple Music trial for 6 months while having a YT subscription. Even though the app seems just fine and nice looking but why would anyone pay for it vs. YouTube Music? With YouTube you get a larger selection of songs (including all user uploaded stuff to YT) and it removes ads on YT. So what exactly is the rationale to pay for Apple Music?

I believe Apple Music being the default option on Apple devices plays the biggest role in its market share
@pygy_ Not sure what happened to your comment...but as far as supporting a catchall...while i do not use that feature, the follwoing help pages seem to indicate that it is supported:

I've seen lots of "experts" write really insecure code. While it is certainly possible someone did this maliciously. Devs often don't understand the code they write and repeat until they get something that "works" and call it good. With an app that touts security I would hope for better.
But if TPG is an agent of the customer, then AA should be suing the customer.

As more and more things move out of the kernel, the perceived performance problems of microkernels look less important. If you are doing your network protocols in user space, and your thread scheduling is in user space, and you're not using a traditional filesystem much, then suddenly nobody cares how fast the kernel is.
Can someone please explain something to me?

How is it that in the US the police is such a deregulated entity? Almost anywhere I’ve been in the world the police worked the same nation or state wide, maybe the local police department of town A works a little different from that of town B but the core rules are many and the same for all of them.

Which historical, legal and cultural reasons bring to this situation where a small town can shape a police department so freely?
Wonderful timing! I already have one domain approved and can confirm it's an awesome tool thanks :)

Some of those things I can do (I can stream directly from the YTM app to many different devices in my house, I don't have any Sonos stuff though)

Some of it I never even thought of doing (no Home Assistant, Garmin watch)

Some of those things I explicitly do not want to do (my TV is hooked up to a Windows PC with wireless keyboard, using an app directly on the TV sounds like a strict downgrade in usability)

I'd say it's less of a "point of view" thing and more of a "how do you interact with computers and the IoT" thing
There are many scary things in the world. But the scariest is the line "Hi, I have a quick question". :)
> complete unaccountability of a government monopoly.

That is a problem with the quality of your democracy, not with government monopolies. A corporate oligopoly is virtually identical to a nondemocratic governmental monopoly.

The key thing you want is democratic control.
Them adding some conditional logic next doesn't seem like that much of a stretch now!

If it wasn't for this kind of stuff, there probably wouldn't be as many jobs in IT as there are.
I've read up on Spotify's custom library stuff, and it seems to just be a weird hack that only works on one device. What I really want is a music locker I can stream to any device to fill in the gaps that aren't available in the streaming library.

Yeah, I'd just use whatever the output of ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl says. It will also suggest any recent committers to that area of the code, which I've found useful in the past. Usually I put the maintainers as To:, and everyone else as Cc:.
I agree that Spotify is a much better ‘listening experience’ (ie discoverability etc) but the problems I have between Spotify and my HomePod(s) is almost enough for me to switch back to music - it is infuriating, needing to reboot the HomePod to get it to play anything again (apparently an issue with Spotify not supporting airplay 2 but the flow on effects are weird)
And define adversely affected. For children there are large numbers of adverse affects beyond death. Like the death of a family member from covid. Isolation from grandparents. There are also positive things like reduced anxiety that comes from vaccination. And prosocial rewards for helping their community.
Strong statements. I just cancelled Spotify and will likely go to another provider when I choose to get a music streaming sub back.

I'm really curious what kind of music is in her collection? I'm always amazed at the obscure stuff that is available... obscure jazz, klezmer, classical recordings, etc...
> Apple Music subscription this year because it pays artists better.

I wonder if this is a growth tactic. If Apple was more altruistic, one could argue that they would pay their App store 3rd party devs (by taking less of a cut via the App store) better too.

So, I am going to chalk this up as a possible business decision for growth.

How much do you make from each of those services?
M365 family doesn't let you manage users as part of one "organisation" in the same way that Google Apps does. It's effectively 6 copies of M365 Personal. And you can only add a vanity domain if you happen to manage it with GoDaddy. The closest to G-suite is M365 Business Basic which is cheaper than G-suite and only includes web and mobile versions of the Office suite, but it does come with 1TB of storage per user which is nice.

As someone else mentioned - the cheapest per user hosted service that is close in functionality to G-suite is Zoho.

I know all this because I've also been bitten by the impending decommissioning of free G-suite so did a bit of research yesterday. I've signed up with M365 Business Basic and am in the process of moving my domains over to it now. I only need one mailbox but I have a bunch of domains and email aliases that I manage.

(edit - changed "Starter" to "Basic")
I totally agree with you. I miss Google Play Music. In addition to a superior queue UI (hey Spotify, let me play a song next), they had the best playlists and song recommendations I've found on a streaming service.
Agreed. As someone who has integrated with dozens of crypto bank APIs, I can tell you Gemini's authentication and security is top notch (second only to Fireblocks)

> In the immediate aftermath of Brown’s death, self-initiated arrests fell 62 percent. Similar declines are seen across nine out of 11 categories of self-initiated activities, including foot patrol (down 82 percent) and pedestrian checks (76 percent). Notably, the decline in arrests is concentrated among misdemeanor arrests (more discretionary than felonies) and among arrests of blacks (rather than whites). This reduction in police activity persisted for at least the next two years. In the same period, the city experienced a significant rise in homicide and aggravated assault.

> The multicity analysis shows a similar pattern. Cheng and Long assume that a Ferguson Effect will be more common in cities with higher black population shares, so they compare those in the top quartile of black population against the other cities as a control. They identify the same phenomenon as in St. Louis: the blackest cities saw larger declines in arrests relative to those with smaller black populations, driven by a decline in misdemeanor arrests, and a simultaneous large (10 percent) increase in homicide.

This one really hit me personally. When I was young, my father advised me that in my career I should stay "close to the money". It made a lot of sense, and I tried, but I ended up moving increasingly into financial services technology.

Now, 25+ years later, I am the head of technology (C-Level) for a large financial services firm (Fortune 200). I report to the CEO, I lead thousands, I am handsomely compensated, but I am professionally lonely.

Over the years, I have become very, very good at explaining technology concepts to non-tech peers (I think it was an intrinsic skill that got me here), but honestly, I am exhausted. I don't think I have it in me to explain technical debt, or the importance of investing in our platform, or how to run a build/buy process or why having an engineering culture is so important. I long to work at a company where my work is intrinsically respected. My peers are polite, but treat the work my team does like magic. It felt deferential at first, but now it feels condescending. I think I've done a great job of creating a real technology culture, but in the last year I realized I am never going to turn us into a technology company, no matter how hard I try.

The lesson is - if you want to work at a technology company (revenue is directly generated through licensing or SaaS fees), then don't compromise. You won't be able to change the nature of your employer no matter how high up the ladder you climb.

My litmus test is this: If you couldn't imagine a company installing a former engineer as their CEO, don't consider it a tech company no matter what the leadership claims.

I've given this some serious thought and I'm considering using Cloudflare Email Forwarding [https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/email-forwarding].

This will allow one to continue to collect usual emails/mailinglists, albeit forwarded to your other personal gmail (for example) account.

The only downside I see is that replies to any emails will originate from the redirected email address.

There are a few big problems with using Canvas for UI on the web. First and foremost is accessibility- there is no way for your app to convey the information screen readers are able to get from analyzing the DOM along with the ARIA metadata that you (should) put into your markup. Furthermore, users who have trouble using a mouse can use the keyboard on the web, and it usually works very well since the browser handles it and the browser has been battle tested. You would need to implement your own keyboard handling scheme (though I'm certain a ton of apps just wouldn't bother). What about scrolling with touch input? You would have to implement that too and good luck making it as smooth and performant as the system's own native scrolling (let alone making it use the appropriate rubber banding- iOS and Android have separate ways of doing this because Apple patented the original iOS rubber band scrolling)

Secondly, there is no way for automated agents to extract content from your user interface. This includes search engines, browser extensions, the browser itself, or your end users. I think that goes against what the web is, and I hope other devs agree. The mutability of HTML (and thus the DOM that represents it at runtime) is a strength, not a weakness
I have recently decided to try Apple Music as apart of trial of Apple One trial (not likely to go beyond that) my biggest gripe with it is the usability on any platform outside of iDevice/Mac.
It seems to be a 'pleasant enough' experience on my iPhone/ATV, but once I transition to my PC for work. A place where I would listen to music for a lot of my day. The PC client is trash, they have a semi capable web client, but it was just feeling Apple Music lite.

One thing with Spotify is that I appreciate the effort across all platforms (well, at least the ones I've used)

iTunes on Windows feels like they stopped working on it back in 2008 and now have some interns trying to support it.

I have a slightly more cynical take on why Spotify pushes niche bands and music so much (in fact, I can’t even remember the last time I saw an “established” band in my Discover Weekly playlist) — Spotify doesn’t have to pay out that much per listen for these niche bands, while having, say, Beyoncé or Drake pop up on millions of subscribers’ weekly playlist would eat in their margins.
So, basically, you forgot to rate limit your API?

Much better.
Thinking that one can compare a checksum with a factchecker is exactly the kind of misunderstanding that I’m referring to.

A checksum can be computed and compared. It is simple. A political statement will be higher up the ladder of abstraction and cannot be parsed as precisely or understood out of context. It is complex. It can only be judged by millions of complex brains coming up with their own nuanced opinions.

Wishing for a world where all important statements can be judged as “true” or “mostly true” or some such nonsense is magical thinking.

Spotify's song radio feature is killer for me. I've found so many great new (very niche) artists. Of course royalties can always be better.

Availability Zones aren't the same thing as regions. AWS regions have multiple Availability Zones. Independent availability zones publishes lower reliability SLAs so you need to load balance across multiple independent availability zones in a region to reach higher reliability. Per AZ SLAs are discussed in more detail here [1]

I haven‘t been active and don‘t know if they have changed this. But when I was using GPT-3, their semantic search endpoint didn‘t actually use GPT-3 for ranking. It used some other, „cheaper“ algo as a pre-filter (tf-idf, I believe). And only the those results that this „cheaper“ algo returned on top made it into the evaluation by the actual GPT-3 model you had chosen.

(There was a setting that controlled how much of your data was actually ranked by GPT-3 - top_k or something. But to chose anything even approaching a sizable percentage of a large corpus such as the one you are dealing with would be prohibitively expensive. You‘d be looking at several Dollars per search.)

Anyway. This is also why switching the model from Ada to Curie to Davinci on the semantic search endpoint has (or had?) very little effect. It still often missed highly relevant snippets from the source material.

When they came out with their „answers endpoint“, it really was just a semantic search piped into a completion prompt.

I actually found it better to keep my own implementation of this pipeline, because then you at least get to control how the results of the semantic search are prompted to the generation model.
