Yes there was a patent roadblock. The very process of laying down layers of filament to build a model was patented until 2009. Before that people could get in trouble for duplicating those designs. But afterward people could openly collaborate. DIY 3D printers exploded once people were allowed to develop them. And I remember being in the 3D printer groups and seeing people unwilling to infringe on the belt 3D printer patent that makerbot had, for example. Hobbyists were aware of patents and weary of infringement. I built my first printer in 2011 too.

EDIT: Here is an interview with the creator of the first hobby 3D printer. In Europe, unlike the US, research projects are allowed to violate patents. He explicitly calls out the expiration of the patents as the thing that allowed them to expand beyond just research.

“We never had any problem with Stratasys complaining about what we were doing, there was only one thing that happened: we got a letter, very nice and very polite, very conciliatory, from one of their legal people saying they had a trademark on the term FDM and could we please not use it, so immediately I invented an equivalent term, which was FFF and we just edited everything on the site to that instead. That’s the only time they tried to interfere or anything else with the project. They never complained we were infringing upon their patent, which we weren’t of course [research projects in Europe can research a patented technology for the purpose of improving it without any kind of patent infringement], and we weren’t selling any machines.

“Once the patent expired in 2009, of course the project was free to do whatever it liked. Coincidentally, that was just a few months after we got the first printer working. It all came together fairly nicely in that regard.”
No, it means that you upgrade to a paid Google Workspace account. If you don't want to pay for it you can cancel it: https://support.google.com/a/answer/1257646

If you cancel it, your account is converted to an ordinary external domain Google account AFAICT. You need to migrate your email out of Google/Gmail to get service messages over email, but you can continue using your Google account as an ordinary Gmail-like account - only difference being that you handle your email yourself (because you didn't want to pay Google to do it for you.)
I dread the day when iTunes stops letting you buy DRM-free music. I don't know anywhere else I can do that easily (and is the only Apple service I use).
When it comes to security such razor is dull.
I don't think there is such a thing called "gmail for domains".

If you have gmail at a custom domain, you aren't paying anything for it, and you've had it for 10 years or more like that... this is probably talking about you, yes.

The thing some of us have had for 10 years or more has been called different things at different points in Google history. Including "Google Apps For Your Domain" and "G-Suite" and "Google Workspace". Maybe it was called "gmail for domains" at one point? It's honestly been very confusing as google keeps changing how things work and what they are called and migrating my legacy free account along each time, with some services breaking etc., I almost feel like I'm finally being put out of my misery.
Pandora isn't on the list, but I am unsure they are global. When they were purchased by Sirius I wanted to move to a Sirius subscription, but found out they would not port over your Music Genome Project information over. You would have to train it again. No other service has a feature that works so well.

We keep it just for that reason.
All I have to say to that is that I'd lend you my Spotify shares to complete the trade.
There is a couples account option and I think its very close to the same price of a single sub.

Edit: its called Spotify Duo and its $12.99 vs $9.99

I find the inability to transfer my paid Android apps and Youtube purchases to a free Gmail account quite egregious. GSuite already had lesser consumer functionality than regular Gmail accounts, at least let us transfer over our purchases.
Their help admittedly is professional-tier centric and suggests that if you can edit your DNS record to add the "I own this" file they give you, you can use any domain. Do they explicitly not support this for the family edition? I guess I'll have to test it with a free month and a spare domain.
"It went from towing 50 vehicles in 2018 to 789 in 2020 – each carrying fines. That’s a 1,478% increase, with 1.7 tows for every household in town."
"Defund the police" was born out of the anger within the Black activist community post the events of the George Floyd shooting. It wasn't something that was run through a PR firm and focus group tested, it was very much a primal scream of "fuck the system and burn it to the ground" against the establishment in its entirety.

Obviously, it became problematic once it was assimilated by the very machine it was raging against, but it was never meant to be palatable to the mainstream or politically correct.
You can effectively kill it or curtail its noxious effects by banning common negative externalities of it.

The GDPR, though having a massive enforcement problem, disallows targeted ads and all the privacy violations typically associated with them.

You could make websites liable for the ads they display, automatically killing the "bottom of the barrel" of advertising such as chumboxes (Outbrain/Taboola/etc) and similar low-quality trash because the cost to review & audit these ads would outweigh any potential profits.

You could revoke Section 230 protection for social media companies that manipulate the reach of content to increase engagement (which is why every social platform switched from a chronological feed to an algorithmic one) as to discourage the practice and prevent them from profiting off intentionally pushing harmful or even illegal content to increase engagement.

That's a good point about awareness of sites with affiliate links. Doctor of Credit and https://www.frequentmiler.com are my top two, though there's overlap between them. Doctor of Credit has the best credit card, bank and brokerage sign up bonus lists and Frequent Miler has good point redemption guides.
That is exactly why it is stupid, if you force people to pick sides they will pick the police. I don't really love them, but I also don't want them gone and would not feel safe with no police.

I am super left wing, but if you force me to pick a side I am choosing the police without much thinking.

I understand not everyone thinks like this, but if you want to win elections in a two party system you need a broad coalition. You will not find a broad coalition that is willing to pick the side you want here.

Impressive.
We subscribe simply because it is the only service that works on family plans without any friction on Echo devices. Tried to get Pandora and Spotify to work, but there was always a problem or the skill would fall apart over a period of months.

I would like to talk about this, is anyone interested in discussing?
That is admissable in court too. I did not claim to have any insight into how courts will rule. They could decide given the marketing the effort to prove you are in control is obviously a bug. They could decide that the effort to prove you are in control is enough to mean you are in control. Until dozens of these cases have gone to court I won't guess.
There is a $30/person tier, maybe they are using something that requires that? For myself I'm doing a data export then I'll purge the backup accounts and automated email accounts (for email alerts for self-hosted stuff I have home@mydomain.com). I'll move all my alert sending to AWS SES and get away with $6/mo for myself.

I’m an indie artist and here’s the avg split on my plays per week:

Spotify: 25,000

Apple Music: 600

… Not trying to make a statement— just sharing cause it’s interesting!
Yeah when you say "crypto" now, people aren't thinking encryption/decryption/private/public/keys/certs/algos, they are appending "currency" in their brains.
I’m not overlooking it, I just don’t think it’s true. Even when the process was patented multiple groups had the idea (IBM and stratasys both held patents and had to collaborate). Without IP there is still market incentives to sell new technology. I don’t believe the myth that without patents people would not innovate. I think innovation would happen faster!
They could (conceivably) if Google touted using their browser to access said website despite all this, especially if Google derived some benefit from it. It may well not come down to making available a tool, but to knowingly encouraging the breaking of ToS (assuming it's valid in the first place).
This is not a dip... Peloton has the best imaginable scenario during the pandemic and could not make a profit. How are they ever going to make any profit if they could not during pandemic? I suspect the price will be $5 or less or a reasonably near future.
> I feel like you're just "predicting" it won't rain in the desert every single day

I mean... yeah, that's my point. When we talk about most of these things we're trying to predict how the world will look years or even decades into the future. Even if you know the technology inside and out, there's too many unknowns to really make an accurate prediction.

If I asked you whether it was going to rain in the desert tomorrow, you could find a bunch of information and come back to me with a fairly informed guess that would probably be right. If I asked you whether it was going to rain in the desert on Jan 1 2030 what would be your answer. You don't know and I'd argue that you can't know, so the best thing you can do is play the probabilities and say "no, it will not rain".
i learnt about this from watching the 'jeeves and wooster' tv series - there was an episode where bertie got the latest hit song as a piece of sheet music and proceeded to the piano to check it out.
I've been trying to use Apple Music with their web client and it's astonishingly slow. I can't understand how it could be so bad.
In the status symbol-y world of $20k first class airline suites, $1,500/night overwater bungalows, and $695/year credit cards, that's probably true.
I hear you, personally it just sounds absurd to think I would pay 3k to watch someone else pedaling a stationary bike on what is otherwise kind of cheap equipment, but I'm probably missing something or I'm not the target. Do they have controls over the work out/equipment in real time, take for instance increasing the resistance during the workout? If so that would make a lot more sense.

Exciting to me as petty as it sounds is breathing fresh air and getting out of my house given the circumstances. Thanks for the reply and explanation.
The reality is that every company wants to have things presented in the same way they're prepared, for the purposes of marketing. That's why web browsers with css are a thing at all - to allow a website to look exactly like what the developer/company behind it wants it to look like.

Why would any company provide data in a standard API so that users can use that data in a standard way? If there was an API for banking, Bank of America wouldn't be able to showcase a professional-esque design and Sofi wouldn't be able to showcase a cartoonish modern design to strengthen their image and attract customers. How do they then attract customers? Only by features and lower margins, which is the opposite of what would make them money.

No, "defund the police" was the literal phrase used by activist proponents. It was not a perjorative used to describe the effort by "the other side".
I'm sure that if I killed someone while at work I would face criminal charges. And yet I still do this job. I think the key thing here is to not kill people, and definitely don't make it somebody's job to kill people.
Depending on your point of view, YouTube Music is far inferior to Spotify. The key advantage to Spotify is that they have apps for all platforms and have a much better integration story than YouTube Music. For example, I can stream directly from the Spotify app on Android to my Sonos speakers, I can use a Spotify app on my Samsung TV, I can integrate Spotify on my Home Assistant server, and I can sync Spotify playlists to my Garmin watch for offline access. None of that is possible with YouTube Music.
sluggish UI aside, I really don't like Apple Music's TASTE in music. Spotify's playlists are reliably more niche. Apple is far more "GRAMMY/Top 40"-oriented and that's just not interesting to me.

Also, Apple should have bought Rdio.
For me, Spotify is everywhere. It works on Google Home, Echo, Xboxes, PC, Linux, Android, etc.

For quite a while, Google Music wouldn't work on Echo devices and Amazon Music wouldn't work on Google Home. Spotify worked everywhere, had native applications, and a decent value for a family plan.

> "Conservatives in both parties" is a bit reductive and I'll also call out as misinformation/misrepresentation:

Are you under the impression that Manchin or the other Conservative Democrats support universal healthcare?

They do not.
"Defund the police" is not a slogan. It's a policy demand.

It's not designed to appeal to Midwestern life-long democrats. It's designed to fix a problem.

The activists promoting the demand are out of touch with huge swaths of Americans, but by symmetry, that means huge swaths of Americans are out of touch with the activists who, through their activism, research, and personal experience, know the nature of policing in America is closer to Brookside, Alabama than to what their Elementary school teachers told them about the police.
I'm not fussed about the warranty so much as the "updates" period, which, if everything gets upstreamed, might be 10+ years with the pinephone, something that very very few can hold a candle to (afaik fairphone only gets there if you also include 3rd party support)

Framework is, afaik, a bunch of people who have already several long years of wrangling laptop devices and their supply chains, similarly Fairphone is on their 4th iteration, a lot of long years

And more importantly, even with all those years behind their products, I can't buy either of 'em, I however have a pinephone in my hands already

I've noticed that most health recommendations like these do not have any evidence associated with them, or a description of the actual risks. It seems that the doctors and health officials who write them have the evidence, but don't believe that the public needs to see it and rather should just go with whatever they say.
> migrating your email to a personal account

I use GSuite Legacy for a personal email only. So migrating my foo@customdomain.com to a @gmail.com is fine. However, I didn't see anything in the article that indicates that this will be offered or even possible.

Some purchases on Amazon come with "3 months of amazon music", which surely adds to their numbers.
It's almost like slogans aren't politics, but just a way of summing up something you don't want to think too hard about...

"Make America Great Again" means literally nothing. At least defund the police states a concrete goal. Don't even get me started on how bastardized "Critical Race Theory" has become.
Their Music clients are also still far away from what I‘d expect from a Trillion dollar company.

Excellent write up. Reading a thorough, detailed and open postmortem like this makes me respect the company. They may have issues but it sounds like the type of company that (hopefully) does not blame, has open processes, and looks to improve - the type of company I'd want to work for!

>> Having multiple fully independent zones seems more reliable

I don't think these independent zones exist. See AWS's recent outages, where east cripples west and vice versa.
Predictable, I imagine they have the same problem as GoPro.
Then you wouldn't be able to reliably use shell substitution to pass in values, which is a pity. The issue being if $var contained commas, like

var="foo,y=bar"
curl --jp "x=$var"

Then allowing comma-separated field=value pairs within a single --jp argument would cause non-obvious changing behavior
I expect Apple Music to continue to erode market share of these competitors... Apple One is just too compelling to be avoided, once you are in the Apple ecosphere. We had a Spotify family plan, but its a domino thing - once you start using one service, like AppleTV, it becomes a no-brainer to just switch everything over to apple rather than pay for different services. Is Spotify better for some people? Possibly, but for many (like myself) Apple Music was "good enough."

I do agree with schoolornot's post that Apple wasted a lot of time and let Spotify get farther ahead than they should have. It definitely feels like Apple has been agonizingly slow to push out and improve services.

Do you know if one can enable the catchall with the Zoho cheap plan (€0.9/month/user)? I have a single mail account, but I use the catchall to provide distinct email adresses to corporations (so if I ever get mail from foo-corp@my-domain.example.com, I know who leaked it).
For setup you may need iOS device at first but I don't think it is tied to it. I am using a lot of Apple devices so not a problem for me but maybe if you dont and do not have Apple ID.

Anyone sending JSON via curl CLI a lot is probably having to manipulate JSON via CLI for purposes other than sending requests with curl as well. It makes more sense for most people to just learn one json manipulation tool and pipe input in and out of things that need it.

It will allow, if it doesn't already, a competent virologist in a Level 2 containment facility - think dentist office with instruments only marginally more sophisticated than dental ones - to create a virus with intent that will decimate or eliminate all of humanity. This will likely happen soon, so consider that you may have to live where you are now for the rest of your life, because a threat such as this, which is very real and ultimately a when-not-if scenerio means to stop such a thing, we quarantine ourselves down to local airlock. We stay where we are essentially for the rest of our lives. That said, I'm packing my bags for Hawaii right now.

For the specific use-case of "badly written scrapers", this might be reasonable, but usually by the point when engineering needs to care about scrapers, other people at the company are involved and just view it as a service theft issue. i.e. "Why waste time and money forcing people to scrape fairly when we can just ban all scrapers?"

Not to mention, actually malicious traffic will find any non-Sybil criterion you use to enforce rate limits and work around it. "Enforce rate limits per User-Agent?" I'm now 10,000 different applications. "Enforce rate limits per IP address?" I'm now 10,000 different compromised residential IP addresses. At some point, distinguishing between well-behaved, buggy-but-legitimate, and outright malicious automated traffic is either impossible or too time-consuming. Upon which point you throw up your hands and say, "Screw it, everyone but Google or a browser is banned."
Ah, great. Thank you
Spotify is a nonstarter for me because I can't upload my own music. I don't want to be beholden to whatever they decide I can listen to, and there's lots of music I want to listen to that's not in any streaming catalogue.

edit: note I say "upload," not syncing local files to my phone. I want a built-in streaming catalogue + cloud music locker that all my devices stream from, not something I have to manually transfer files between for every device

No, but I think that's the underlying concern between giving out phone numbers. Handing over phone numbers is generally giving away your identity (because it is only pseudo-anonymous). Giving away my username Godelski is also difficult without linking my personal identity because it too is pseudo-anonymous.
