The world isn't simply filled with people who are content to do the same thing as everyone else. For some, it's purely aesthetic. For others, it's preferred to have an environment where software that makes bad assumptions won't work. For many, it's at least partly just because we can.

Not everyone does things just because everyone else does them. If that were the case, we'd all be running Windows. Some people do things because it's what everyone else isn't doing.

Ah, you're talking about the fewest number of regular votes that would have to change so that the electoral college would flip. in that case I'd say 42k and 77k are essentially the same number, given the large number of voters we're talking about. But yes, Biden's victory was tighter than Trumps in that calculus.

Although, in the situation you propose, 2020 would actually be a 269-269 tie. Which means any unfaithful elector could refuse to vote for their candidate and throw it to the other party. And even if no one did, then Congress would break the tie in a pair votes that would presumably go for Trump and Pence if people voted on a party line.

You can definitely hear a difference when the Apple track is using Atmos or spatial audio and your system or headphones support it.

Also, I’m not certain, but I think the tracks that are studio masters are often mixed differently. I’m not sure what it is, maybe greater dynamic range (cd tracks are louder). I think it sounds better.

Even though Apple sounds better, I probably still use Spotify more because the client isn’t as terrible (or at least is terrible in different ways that I’m used to).
I don't believe Apple pays better out of the goodness of their own hearts. It seems much more likely that they pay more because that's what they need to pay to get artists on to their platform.

Apple posted profits of $34.6 billion last quarter. Use whatever service is most convenient for you, but I take umbrage with trying to paint a trillion dollar corporation as altruistic for paying a penny per stream to a musician.

Labels are their own problem for sure, and Apple has advantages over Spotify (I'd guess they mostly come from the fact that Apple can run its digital distribution infrastructure at a profit even without music altogether).

I don't have any sympathy for Spotify, though. No one has done more than they have to create the price point expectations for products like theirs. They should have known it wasn't enough. They probably did know and like most growth phase startups simply decided to care until later if ever, and any negative enduring impacts on artists be damned.
The world changed in a very significant way over the last 70 years. Even more so over the last 20 years.

Now it’s a synchronous call with satellite footage of every inch of the earth. It may very be that centralized planned economies are now the superior model and only the test of time will unveil which is true.

According to Last.fm I’ve listened to 156k songs from 16k artists (35k albums) over a little less than 10 years. Last time I bought music it was on iTunes and the lowest price was €0.79 per song. That would be a total of €123k.

Over the same period, I gave exactly €1200.93 to Spotify [1].

Curiously Orthodox Christian mysticism creeps in to this sense of destiny as well which is really scary. See:

"Russia’s Menacing Mix of Religion and Nuclear Weapons
In the Kremlin, Faith and Force Go Hand in Hand"[1]

Another member of this inner circle not named in this article is Yuri Kovalchuk who's the largest sharedholders in Rossiya Bank in addition to National Media Group. He is a long time friend and advisor to Putin and subscribes to this same Orthodox Christian mystic narrative where Russia needs to save the world from the West.[2]

The solutions I've heard of usually involve a screenshot of the seed QR code stored in a safe somewhere. Not optimal, but at least gives you a backup in case of disaster.
My first KVM switch was in the price range you mentioned, but switching caused the screen to go black for a while due to some HDMI stuff. The more expensive one I have now keeps both connections open at the same time, and switching takes a second or so.

I dunno, I started thinking of it like switching from one game server to another, if you (somehow) do it in the middle of a game, stuff is bound to explode.

Gun carry (or more specific open or concealed carry) is the more popular phrase, due to the popularity of EDC (every day carry) as a phrase covering everything from guns to knives to keychains; however, "wear" is not a linguistic mistake, but an alternative to "carry".

"Wear" differentiates from things that you carry in your hands or pockets or a bag. Things that are part of your dress, like watches, ties, and handguns in holsters, are more "worn" than "carried", though it could be either.

GitHub's SSO if it's not Enterprise managed accounts sucks. Thus the example is extremely unlucky.

Industry standard is that service provider gets identity from identity provider and provisions an account with that identity. So that if I log in to Jira as john.smith@example.com I'll have john.smith@example.com username.

What GitHub does is it links enterprise identity to personal account. So I have to log in twice (and honestly it's already not an SSO at this stage) first time I log in with enterprise identity and then I log in with personal account. So I log in as john.smith@example.com, then login as HugeDick53 and then I'm visible as HugeDick53 and john.smith@example.com identity vanishes from view.

GitHub's justification is that contributions on enterprise projects should be visible on personal accounts. However, from administrator's point of view entire system + UI issues make this type of so called SSO completely unusable. Nobody in company has any idea who is HugeDick53.

On the other hand Atlassian products provide true SSO. Not the most sophisticated one, but at least it's SSO.
There is a spectrum here. Benign forms of marketing that are closer to outreach or education campaigns all the way to the darkest, borderline fraudulent techniques.

What convenience is that? How do you consider that your setup is in anyway more convenient that opening the Spotify app and listening to basically anything?

If you are into very niche music or something maybe, but it's pretty hard to beat just clicking "play". Now if you said you simply pirate the songs I could see the convenience of saving money, but in your case you buy the music anyway?

> I expect a language eco-system to make it possible to do "easy" things without much trouble.

I think a lot depends on what we mean by "trouble". For example, here's a basic implementation of an unsafe doubly-linked list with a safe API: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

There are only a few things in there that jump out to me as inconvenient:

- We have to write `unsafe` blocks in several places.

- When we dereference raw pointers, we have to write things like `(*self.head).next`, with more parentheses and stars than usual.

- We need to add PhantomData<T> members to our iterator types, so that the Rust compiler knows whether their lifetimes are covariant vs invariant.

None of those inconveniences adds very much in terms of lines of code. And of course, some of them are inconvenient by choice. Rust wants to be extra clear when we're doing unsafe things like dereferencing a raw pointer.

However, there are several places in this example where knowing the right thing to do is a serious challenge:

- The PhantomData<T> thing from above counts as one of these too, although a compiler message will point you to it if you forget.

- We need to store raw pointers to nodes rather than shared or mutable references to nodes.

- We allocate memory with Box::leak(Box::new(...)).

- We free memory with Box::from_raw(...) and end-of-scope destruction.

- We need to add an explicit Drop implementation to avoid leaking memory.

All of those are intermediate or advanced Rust concepts, and it doesn't make sense to try to teach them to beginners. It's also easy to get them wrong, much like malloc() and free() and constructors and destructors are easy to get wrong in C and C++. But once you understand these concepts and know how to use them, I wouldn't call them inconvenient per se. It's not clear to me that a helper library from the ecosystem would be able to help much here. Maybe we could find a way to reduce repitition in the implementations of the shared and mutable iterators? But for the most part, the challenge here is correctness, not repetition.

Of course, what the ecosystem can do for us is provide a ready-made implementation of the whole container, so that we don't have to do any of this ourselves: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.LinkedList....
The linked page says Telegram fixed this, but they only say they're now rounding the results. Hasn't this come up previously in other services and rounding is _not_ enough? It seems like it just makes it very slightly less obviously possible but doesn't prevent exploitation.
To build the equivalent of a grunts-emotions dictionary, the researchers recorded over 7,400 sounds from 411 pigs, tracing their life experiences from birth through death. The team correlated the different calls with the pigs' activities and body language.

> The animals had positive emotions when nursing, reuniting with family, cuddling with litter mates and running freely. Negative emotions came from situations involving social isolation, fights, castration and waiting in a slaughterhouse.

They cracked pig grunts, and are building a translator for the rest of us. Nice.
They aren’t going to win. Their economy started with noticeable issues and has since been obliterated. Aggression wars against a weak opponent are remarkably expensive and Ukraine has received a significant amount of support (I’d estimate around 20b so far) whereas the ruble and Russian markets (bond, equity, and a large portion of export/import) have been nuked. They are running on fumes in a war that is projected to run for quite some time.
it's more or less the same price range than e.g. buying a real road or mountainbike and regularly using it. While those are expensive I still wouldn't call them "rich people hobbies" in regions like northern america or western europe. I've been riding bikes for 20 years, and people with all ranges of income are sharing this hobby. Only for some it's a major expense that they are willing to work hard for, whereas for others it might just be a minor one.
