So, it’s pretty serious. Spotify is paying Joe Rogan to broadcast disinformation that is getting people killed. I think it’s okay in this case if people have a sudden change of opinion or a newly formed strong opinion. He didn’t crack an off color joke.
Is it possible to block in avatars this way? Kind of like Habbo hotel.

Lol sure let's invalidate all patents for starters, if you want a free market. Copyright next. See how much will be left of Apple's hegemony. Or just admit that regulations are a thing we use to get socially optimal outcomes and not get trapped in market failures like monopolies, duopolies, and negative externalities. Your fetish for unregulated capitalism is not as popular as you think even in the US.
I have always wondered how Stunk and White would handle Carl's Jr.
This is a private company paying him $100 million dollars to be exclusively on their platform. If he had kept doing his podcast instead of whatever you call what he does now podcast in name only he couldn’t have been banned.

Even if he was removed from the popular podcasts directories, all of the real podcast players allow you to subscribe by entering a URL to an RSS feed. He took the money. He knew what he was getting into.

Joe Rogan signed an exclusive deal with Spotify - which appears to be the opposite of what Podcasting 2.0 represents.
When you get some new device and it says leave plugged in for 12 hours to charge first before using, but you don't. I have to wonder with JWST I bet there is a desire to try to have a sneak peek. But I guess calibration is automated so no way to bypass rules. And way too much to lose if something goes wrong ~30 years and $10B.

It mentions Pokemon Yellow, but really any code run isn't really "run in the game" more so that it uses bugs to hack together alternate instructions for the game boy to execute. Good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjm8P8utT5g (skip to 1:20 for craziness)
Just to elaborate on the "it doesn't work that way" part.

Science is hard. Replicating an experiment is costly in time and money.

The papers in scientific field are organized like a tree. A good paper by a good and credible researcher will be a base node that other papers branch off of. A poor or not credible paper will be leaf that won't be cited by others. Testing all the poor papers would be tremendous waste of time. And it wouldn't catch fraudsters as such because not being replicable isn't proof of fraud.
And grant a clear copyright use of the audio to people to produce commentary style rebuttals?

It'll be ineffective. He'll probably just move to something like Rumble that will just ignore all the smear pieces. Guy is popular enough that his audience will follow him, so now there's blood in the water Spotify is in a no win situation
Mostly it gives them the ability to effectively cut the pay of those whose performance they don't value, by giving them increases smaller than inflation.
Sundar Pichai has just updated Google's mantra: "Don't be evil, be greedy!"
That must suck hard for Joe Rogan. He moved his show to their platform and now is getting massively moderated/censored. It's very interesting to see. In America, I always felt like people were very extreme with their freedom of expression, so much that you have so many abuses like the tea party and others that wouldn't exist in other countries that penalize forbidden speech (like denying the holocaust, being racist, etc.), limit politician air time, etc. So I'm guessing, like a lot of things in the US, private companies are now deciding to figure that part out.

It’s not censorship, at all.

This is literally peak Capitalism, something anybody that finds their way to & stays on HN should very much understand.

Money is currently talking, Spotify - a company - is reacting to money talking.

Any other interpretation of this is… I don’t know, but definitely not correct.

In the end, we’re once again shown, money is all that matters.
So we've decided as a society that any opinion that doesn't conform to the majority needs to be silenced? Scary.
What are the chances Spotify cut Neil Young or Joni Mitchell a 100m dollar check?
This is idiotic. I really respected Spotify for their position in the face of 'controversy.' I'm not a JRE listener, but believe in free speech.

What Spotify is doing now just pisses off both sides. Pro speech people don't like this, JRE listeners don't like this, and anti Rogan people won't stop until he's 'canceled' completely.
Spotify has played this perfectly.

First they spent $100m on a very controversial figure, just to get an exclusive contract.

When he acted controversially they stood up for him, making plenty of people mad and getting others to disassociate themselves from Spotify (Young, Mitchell). Wouldn’t surprise me if they were having some quiet issues with sponsors/ads.

Now they seem to be removing episodes, but reportedly not the controversial ones? This of course goes over poorly with both the pro (why remove them?) and anti (why not the problem ones?) camps.

Hope it was all worth it Spotify. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer company trying to destroy a formerly open ecosystem.

The lockout periods are quite short. You can buy and sell more than 2/3 of the time. You can also set up an autosale system which sells as soon as you vest regardless of whether you are in a lockout period.
What about when the CDC publishes an article with a title like this? https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-pr...

Critical thinking would mean asking how could a vaccine that simulates part of the virus provide better immunity than recovering from the real thing?

Turns out, it doesn't. But the latest release doesn't have a catchy sound bite for a title. The results are buried in the summary: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm?s_cid=mm...

The same goes with masks back in 2020. While officials were announcing that masks may actually be detrimental for the average person, hospitals were screaming for more PPE. Clearly, something wasn't adding up. As it turns out, that was a lie.

I'm vaccinated, I was a big supporter of lockdowns at the beginning of all of this, but "trust the science" is, ironically, becoming its own religion to some people and I find it repulsive. Especially when it has been shown time and again that science can be wrong and that scientists have no problems with telling noble lies.

Worse, they spent a lot of money and knew what they were getting, so it just makes them look like idiots to investors.

> Do TVCs get stock?

Since they actually work for the contracting or temp company and not the contracting customer of that company, the arrangement doesn't generally include equity, profit-sharing and other benefits from the contracting company. However, the employee of the temp or contracting company might be able to negotiate equity, profit-sharing or other benefits from their employer if their market value is sufficiently high. It all depends on the arrangement the employee makes with their employer and that is usually driven by how in-demand, rare and proven the particular employee's skills are.

I've found it valuable to have the flexibility to choose whether I want to be an employee or a contractor depending on the market, company and my goals at the time. Over the decades I've experienced the upside and the downside of being an employee working alongside contractors who were taking home substantially more per day than I was but not getting equity. Sometimes my options ended up being nearly worthless and other times it worked out extremely well. Conversely, at other times I've been a short-term contractor able to negotiate fantastic weekly take-home pay. Sometimes that worked out very well and other times it would've been even better for me to have taken the job offer and been an equity employee. But I would have had to stay three or four years to vest, sacrificing the flexibility to pick my assignments, location and schedule.

Having experienced all sides of this, I've found the determining factor isn't really the choice of compensation model. What matters most is developing unique skills and being able to consistently deliver tangible value. How I choose to monetize my value is up to me and, like any investment, I get to 'pick my poison' and live with the consequences. Barring random luck, increased certainty and immediacy of minimum guaranteed compensation tends to come at the cost of potential maximum upside.

This is the summary of the second hit on Duck Duck Go (the first hit is a troubleshooting article about the feature):

> A built-in load sensor automatically detects the laundry load and a microprocessor optimizes washing conditions such as ideal WATER LEVEL and washing time. Turbo drum washing (option) When "Punch + 3" washing wings turn, the washing tub turns in the opposite direction.

I accidentally searched for this:

load sensing algorithm work on my LG washer?

Adding "how does the" to the beginning of the search gives this as the second hit:

> Water level sensing in LG washers is done differently from how you may be used to seeing it done in other brands. Whirlpool, GE, Electrolux and others use an air tube connecting an air dome on the tub to a pressure sensor with a physical diaphragm or transducer that "feels" the water level increase as an increase in pressure inside the air tube.

I've felt a lot of the same frustrations on iOS projects with swift. Lots of people add tons of extensions and helpers, and folks learning on these codebases don't learn iOS, they learn the playground that the developers of the project made, it's not obvious what's built in and what's custom. The extensions are less composable, harder to navigate, and often end up really ramping up complexity when you end up with constraints and generics and protocols and all kinds of really fancy "nerd stuff" that really isn't needed in an iOS codebase. I used to have a theory that folks did this because, well, Apple has basically "solved" what make an app is. Everything you need is there, it's all pretty easy to use, it's "boring" in a good way. Maybe this is how developers scratch the itch of needing to do a lot of "real programming"? Maybe I'm just getting old!
heh i went to a Salesforce thing many years ago not knowing what to expect. I showed up in jeans, tshirt, and my backpack with a kind of confused and lost demeanor (this was also my first time to San Fran). One of the hosts opened the door for me and was like "come in come in, here get yourself something to eat" and walked me over to the breakfast spread. I'm pretty certain he thought i was homeless. When I said i was here for the event he said kinda sharply "oh. go over there and get a badge." and walked away haha.
Fortunately Rogan is still as free as ever to publish these episodes in any other venue, but Spotify (like any publisher) reserves the right to host (or not) whatever content it wants. This isn't an infringement on anyone's speech, so hopefully "pro-speech" people (interesting false dichotomy you've struck between this group and "anti-Rogan" people) are just as happy as they were yesterday.

EDIT: A lot of reflexive comments here very quickly assuming this is about removing Rogan's COVID-sensitive content, but looking at the list of removed episodes and how many guests are the subjects of serious sexual allegations, people might want to consider who they're actually defending here.

Coinbase has a social network. Why would a money exchange have a social network? To help with pumping crypto.

Yes, they actually said that.

I agree, that one is cheating. It appears that it's not the game that is Turing Complete in this case, it's the Gameboy itself. The Magic and Minecraft ones for example are legit, because "execution" happens within the game's engine (and, more importantly, rules).

It’s a bit surprising, sure.

It’s basically a tablet - in 2022, an underpowered one. It was underpowered as a console 6 years ago. It has very few third party games (ok, you can play Skyrim and Witcher 3, but most of the games just are not there).

But it’s still so fun. And the first party games are all amazing. Even when stuff like Mario Kart and Super Mario 3D World is a port from even older generation.

Nintendo has been my sole choice for a very long time now, since I'm almost exclusively interested in local multiplayer. Switch's popularity has been nice, smaller studios in particular have really stepped up their game, in contrast to Wii's long list of shovelware.
I don’t agree, because, as I said, the original iPhone didn’t even allow installing apps unless you jailbroke and sideloaded. Android has always let you sideload. Sideloading by the community is the natural state of affairs, imo. Insisting that users and developers only use an App Store that the vendors themselves run is untenable, and ahistorical.

I don’t get your theme park example. Here’s my spin on your analogy:

Apple built the theme park, and now they want to dictate that the independently-operated hotdog vendor may only purchase buns from Apple, and they further dictate that if they use the buns (totally optional), then Apple is entitled to 27% of the total hotdog purchase price.

Isn’t this kind of thing usually associated with criminal behaviour? Why would somebody buy $1 of gift cards for $1.05 worth of Bitcoin instead of using an exchange? Seems like the main appeal is avoiding KYC laws that the exchanges follow isn’t it?
Why not just seed an existing torrent

I'm actually not sure that's true, it depends on the precise details of spotify's contract with rogan. Part of it was exclusivity.

But even still, its censorship Rogan opted into to get $$$.
This is a good analysis of one of his more controversial podcasts. It’s not him presenting “both sides”. He has an agenda and his guests push flat out lies that go unchecked: https://www.wired.com/story/plaintext-joe-rogan-spotify-thou...

Actually Spotify bought the exclusive rights to his full back catalog (for a lot of money) so he's not free to publish them elsewhere.
> interesting false dichotomy you've struck between this group and "anti-Rogan" people

People threatening to leave if you let someone else talk is pretty much a good definition of being against free speech.
If you you call out any of the rampant self-aggrandizement, exaggeration, humble-brags, or in some case outright lies there's no real upside, and plenty of potential downside.
> Just to be clear developers care about this, not “people”.

People want software for their underutilized M1-powered Apple hardware investment.

Software requires — developers with a sustainable business.

When people invest years of data entry and muscle memory in software for their Apple device, their investment can be lost if the developer goes out of business due to excessive fees imposed by Apple.
Looking at the picture in the article, I'd say the proton wasn't too small, rather the ruler was too big.
I feel like the tail-end of Web 1.0 (generally decentralised protocols/processes) with broadband speeds was really a golden age, peaking around the early to mid 2000s. Once the Web 2.0 train arrived, centralisation into large corps that could do arbitrary cancellations (whether it's locking you out of your Google or Oculus accounts, or getting removed from Twitter or Spotify) really just made the web a lot less interesting for information discovery and sharing.

Blockchain aside, I do find it amusing that we can basically go back to 2005 tools to avoid some of this accelerating authoritarianism. Rip podcasts to MP3s, torrent or email them around. Same with movies, video clips, etc. Sure, mass distribution becomes less instant, but nobody can argue that Doom wasn't popular when it was released just because it wasn't on Steam or whatever.

It's not a technical issue, it's about control. Spotify has exclusive rights which is at odds with the original podcast ethos.
Hate to say it, but I'm not sure this type of visualization is ideal for this data. Given that the actual clustering is meaningless, I would think a simple histogram would expose the relationship between the different cities better.

My mind could be changed if this exposed a hierarchy, for example if the US was a single bubble which could be clicked-into. Or if there was a meaning behind the clustering, like if geographic proximity determined how close the bubbles were.
