I think it’s worth taking fairness as a separate question, especially when posing the question about alternatives.

This classic article by Steve Albini captures what monetizing music was like for artists before the Internet: https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-problem-with-music

That said, many artists have objected to subscription models like Spotify’s (Taylor Swift notably), or a la carte like Apple’s (Pink Floyd and Beatles’ estates notably). Most paid Internet music services have been a mixed bag of inconsistent payouts and artistic control. Spotify is definitely among them, even if it might be more attractive than a Record Deal^tm.

In my experience and inferred from experiences of other artists, SoundCloud has the best exposure benefits for lesser known artists combined with the most freedom to monetize, and Bandcamp is the most straightforward self publishing platform for built in monetization.

Comparatively, Spotify is basically, like Apple, filling the void of the record labels they usurped. While their terms are comparably “fair”, it’s easy to understand why they’re not ideal for a lot of artists.
> in seven years you'll probably be only slightly better off if at all

That seems rather pessimistic. You don't expect any career progression or wealth accumulation in seven years?
In the past, when I read Generative Adversarial Network research, I found a veritable zoo of approaches to regularizing the discriminator, such as Least-Squares-GAN, Wasserstein-GAN, Wasserstein-Gradient-Penalty, and Instance Noise. However, in the past few years I’ve noticed that the simple gradient penalty labelled ‘R1’ suddenly became so dominant that papers using it don’t draw attention to it, they just say ‘R1 regularization’ and cite this work.
I explained in my other comment, but I see no mention any of those aspects of countering a sandwich botter.
+1 to this. I got a mirror on my e-bike, and it did two things:

- way more comfort with 'situational awareness'

- more preference for the e-bike ...

... until I got my regular ("analog" vs "digital") bike kitted out with a mirror too.
You're paying for compute, whereas you can put an app on a store for (basically) free. A million people can download your app and you wouldn't pay a penny more, whereas if a million people suddenly used your AWS app, you'd see a nice bump in cost.
The US and the Democratic party were never pacifist any time during the 20th century (and certainly US foreign policy was not pacifist under Wilson, Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, or Carter). Clinton’s foreign policy was not in any way outside of the party mainstream.

But under Clinton the US did dramatically cut back on training/arming fascist death squads, and the 90s–2000s were a period of relative peace and prosperity for Latin America, as the US left them more or less alone (the Bush II administration was more worried about fearmongering/warring vs. Muslims, so continued benign neglect of LA). Clinton also presided during a period when the US had less military activity/conflict than pretty much any other time since WWII. Obama didn’t get to make such a choice, having inherited Middle East wars from his predecessor.
It seems like if the soil profile and ground is mapped correctly it could be a much easier operation than one may feel.
The Shaming-Industrial Complex
This is certainly something interesting and worth trying, but I'd recommend starting with 1.2 first, because the handshake isn't encrypted so you can follow along more easily.

I only looked at the TLS 1.3 RFC for a few small things.

As someone who has written implementations of various widely-considered-nontrivial things (mostly image and video codecs, some crypto -- but not TLS, although upon seeing this article, that may change...) for self-educational purposes, I strongly recommend that the official standard be the first thing you look at and refer to during the process. It will clarify a lot of doubts, and in the case of TLS, the RFCs are relatively readable as far as standards go.

I’m not sure why the blocks have the size they do (maybe it’s so that each one will fit inside a TCP packet ???), but in theory I think they could be up to 65535 bytes, since their size field is 2 bytes.

That's due to either MTU or server-side write fragmentation, and the limit is 16K(+overhead). It is a stream to the application layer, but the record-layer protocol breaks it up into chunks of smaller limited size to allow for the integrity checks.

I assume a real TLS implementation would use a thread pool or coroutines or something to manage this.

That's a very strange assumption. Depending on the API, the ones I've used will either just read in a loop until the length is fulfilled or an error occurs; or return an "incomplete message" error meaning that the caller is the one to continue reading. Getting a partial read from a TCP socket is a very common "trap for young players" --- if you don't keep it in mind, you'll write code that appears to work on localhost or inside a fast LAN, but fails intermittently and sometimes mysteriously over the Internet or when there's more latency. You can never assume message boundaries when using TCP.
I’m bipolar and have had a successful and pretty senior career at both FAANG and banks / hedge funds. I did have a manic episode while onboarding to a new company and when I went into a hospital for care they fired me. Of course I worked with lawyers to resolve things favorably. (This was a hedge fund, not a FAANG)

My advice is be certain you have a manager who is empathetic and accommodating in general. I would give this advice to any human being. We all need help sometimes and there’s not enough years to suffer assholes. I would also proactively engage a reputable and skilled employment law lawyer specializing in your local regulations as there can be very strong protections at local levels for mental health. If you have the money put them on retainer. Ideally you’ll never need them but having someone who can write a letter to your HR and manager if you need it and be taken seriously is worth it.
I'm not sure those are directly comparable. For YouTube you are not contributing to Joe Rogan unless you watch his videos and add views/popularity/ad revenue. Spotify, however, signed a separate contract that (AFAIK) is unrelated to listening count. In that sense any Spotify subscription has paid into the money Rogan gets, which isn't the same on YouTube.
Pandemic housing market spurred buyer's remorse across America
The ISAs are being sold to investors. It's in the interest of the teaching company to set the price as high as possible and minimize program spend, not as low as possible with maximum program spend (which is what the student wants).
Wow. That takes me back.

John Nash independently invented hex in grad school. A sequence of scenes involving hex were cut from the movie "A Beautiful Mind".

The first day that Russell Crowe joined the production, he was occupied with hours of makeup tests for his aging progression. Ron Howard had me meet him during a break, to discuss the hex and go scenes to come. The first dozen of a crew that would be hundreds hadn't met him either, so they hovered nearby as we talked.

To my surprise, Russell asked me what mathematical truths drew Nash to this game. Never underestimate people; I went for it. Rather than explaining the proof Nash liked that the first player could always win, I decided to explain why some player had to win. As I talked, Russell drew me in with fascinated, understanding facial expressions.

When I was done he looked at Ron, "Can you get me the Parker Brothers rules? They're for 8 to 80, I didn't understand a word this guy just said!" Peals of laughter from the room.

Months later we're filming a roomful of grad students playing hex, and Russell doesn't like what the script has him saying. He gets permission to ad lib. "Think of the black stones as water, the white stones as land. Either you can swim across this way, or there's a land bridge that way..."

My longest day shooting, I woke at five, and was an actor in the pen ceremony that evening. Close to 24 hours awake, I found myself nodding off high at a party in Russell's room, everyone singing various national anthems. I learned much later that Russell had been kidded as a child for not knowing the New Zealand anthem. By the party he knew them all. He likes jokes only he gets, jokes with long fuses.
Curious as to how these engines accept new sites into their ranks. A big problem most of us have had is spammy results outranking everything else by building large, fake networks of sites that boost each other's rankings via interlinking. Many of the higher end networks are undetectable, as they have legitimate content and never link to more than 1 other internal site (among a mix of external sites, some affiliated with still other networks).
Some of us actually don’t use either of these products. I can’t speak for the person who got the whatabout, but I think it’s presumptuous to jump straight to hypocrisy without any information about other choices and how they might or might not be consistent.
I like your coffee shop analogy...
Do you have a particular client of choice for browsing? Or just your phone web browser?
I usually skim the top 10 articles using a Feedly RSS, but I agree with your assessment that maybe it's worth just skipping the rest of the internet...
Maybe OLED will already be good enough no? I haven't read up much yet on it, but I learned yesterday that the ABL feature I feared (which causes the image brightness to change substantially based on the content on screen) might be disableable on something like the LG CX OLED.
It does sound risky but that might be my best chance at this point, thank you. I'll see what kind of of rate I can get.
“Focus more on building good WASM products than on pretending to be leaders”

Yup. WebAssembly is not a landgrab its an opportunity to build very cool things that embody the principles of the web. Use imagination. Build product. A package manager and a runtime is hardly inspiring.
You could even have robots do the mapping.
Try finding an entry in a list of 100 elements. Then try finding an entry in a list of 10 million elements.

Then make a hash table out of the list and try finding an entry in the hash table of 100 elements and the hash table of 10 million elements.

If you want to take it further, try building an in-memory database. Benchmark how it works with and without indexes as the number of items in the database grows.

Unlike Wind I do not understand who in their right mind opposes solar projects. It is mostly a static piece of flat construction with hardly any rise sitting on private land.
I only buy stuff if Alex Jones advertises it without a shirt on.
That was... one hell of a rollercoaster. All I can say is I'm glad everyone made it out alive.
Indentured servitude: nothing to do with ISAs.

The only similarity is that you work to pay off a debt. By that definition, car loans, student loans, house loans, credit cards are all "indentured servitude".

Look at it this way: if you had a loan where payments were income-based, and where the loan was forgiven after a certain amount of time, would that be indentured servitude?
I don't think it's too reasonable to expect that every open-source-friendly company never releases a closed source project. Or at least I don't find it weird that an open-source-friendly company might have one closed source project. Their core project, wasmer, is open-source after all.
Weirdly one of the reasons for rapid growth of solar in India was the widely available cheap semi skilled labor. The stringent regulations in US and elsewhere seems to make this a much bigger challenge i guess.
Best Buy made some really good moves about a decade ago that have paid off for them; I think (one of) the biggest is investing heavily in Buy Online - Pickup in Store (BOPIS). After not having shopped there for years due to online shopping like NewEgg and Amazon, I found myself a few times needing something today and being able to put in an order and pick it up an hour later was really helpful. I still don't use them nearly as often as true online competition; but, they are useful for that.

As an aside, some of them have gone to the "Store within a store" concept where, instead of ill-informed blue-shirted kids wandering around aimlessly, you can find yourself in the LG TV section staffed by an LG-trained salesperson who can at least answer general questions about the units.
Ah, thanks! For some reason I'd missed that last time I looked. The other 4 retailers listed on raspberrypi.com for the US don't appear to accept preorders, but you're right about Newark.

Now I just need to wait until October for my CM4 to ship... :(
This is so much more level headed than the type of immature relationship advice you find on reddit.

You see, point taken.

But I do wonder if your comment would be the same and the soundbite still be inconsequential had the targeted race been a certain other one...

I think you're overplaying the "static" card. If you're using the JAMstack the static bit is only half of the equation. Need a contact form? Now you need a form-processing service and it's no longer static. If you're replacing old PHP + MySQL sites you'll need a lot more than a static site generator. "Mostly static" might be more accurate but then how long does that last? Clients typically want WordPress plus a ton of plugins. I don't see how JAMstack addresses that need. You say it's nearly 100% free but I just looked at Netlify's free tier and you're only allowed 100 form submissions per month after which they're $19 each. I don't think I would get a night's sleep with that hanging over my head.
Honestly I think it is more concerning the data that they get.

But with increased transaction prices, the only way I can think of is by legislation, but we know that legislation is typically reactive and not proactive. So if the CC companies go slow enough, it's like boiling a frog. And no, cryptocurrency isn't a solution to this as (the vast majority of) transactions aren't private nor anonymous.
Yup, same here. We had periods of more than 8 hours (during Asia daytime / US nighttime) where we couldn't push or pull, which were not mentioned on their status page at all.
100% agree on reading the RFC. I've implemented various protocols as well (SMTP, IMAP, POP, FTP, some crypto and other things, all a couple decades ago), and the cases where I glossed over the RFC have always bitten me.
I've never gotten weird looks when paying with cash except during the beginning of the pandemic. But I think that's a special case where we can have exceptions.

> Also, every legitimate economist states that measuring trade policy by the size of the goods deficit is probably not a passing grade in a basic economics class. Do you have any clue what you’re talking about?

The neoclassical/neoliberal economists deemed "legitimate" in USA over the past 50 years are worse than useless. The Summerses and Krugmans helped architect, or at least apologize for, the ongoing American Nightmare. This is the problem!

> In other words, money flowing out to pay for imports flows back in to help pay for productive investment in new capital.

What is one example of "productive investment", emphasis on productive (i.e. not just FIRE speculation/rent-seeking), that the Chinese are making in America, and at what scale?
Spotify is a service whereas GP is an application platform. You distribute apps (services like Spotify) through GP, whereas you distribute product (songs) through Spotify. GP is the only (reasonable) way to get apps on Android, whereas there are dozens of legal licensed alternatives for Spotify.

You can try to find alternatives for an app store, but that doesn't change the fact that inherently within Android, there are certain roadblocks that simply don't exist for a Spotify competitor, for example.
And that is understandable. I have my site hosted on GitLab Pages for free and love that it is fast and feels dynamic even though it is static. However, I also have some other stuff that takes up quite a bit of storage that would only work on a VPS or dedicated server, but in pricing it out with cloud providers it was like 100x the cost.
Only around 10% of total loans disbursements are private.
> Due to the importance of reusing work, the inevitable result will be that I'll collect it all into an article to post as part of https://grapheneos.org/articles/. We'll will simply link to that as our response going forward. Our community will likely spread the article as they do with our other documentation like our FAQ sections and usage guide. The article(s) will be repeatedly expanded to add sections debunking attempts to misrepresent it or to mislead people about the topics.

Not OP but I did enjoy reading your well-written replies, so I hope they don't get lost with time as only HN comments, and that you're able to carry them forward more effectively to be shared with others.
> But you need to know that Wasmer and its sibling projects will stay free forever. We are open source lovers, all of us, and we have a strong background on working on open source projects before joining Wasmer too.

That's great. I'm sure the closed source paid 10x faster editions of the graphene Python GraphQL server written by Syrus "CEO of Graphene" and CEO of wasmer will be open sourced in this spirit.

It doesn't naturally follow that if I gave Spotify more money, they'd give it to the artists versus taking it as extra profit.
I always check for yunohost on these self-hosting threads. Standing up a yunohost on my raspberry pie has been on my to-do list for a long time.

Unfortunately their default for my raspberry pie didn't "just work" on the Saturday evening I tried it. It was my first foray with that raspberry pie, so installed a different server OS and spent the rest of the evening setting up a basic server for an HTML file and learning more about SSH. That was my experience as a non-IT engineer. I'd be interested in other people's experiences using yunohost (or sandstorm for that matter).

Maybe the solution isn't to make an idiot-proof stack of tech. Maybe we need a central repo of tutorials and how-tos so that any idiot could self host? Something better than the scattered YouTubes and blogs I remember seeing when I Googled after this.

JavaScript is Typescript except you need to do the compilation in your head!

You are always checking types anyway, so you should use TS and let the computer do that for you.
There is literally zero extra work for using typescript beyond initial installation because it’s just offloading a mental requirement to the computer and the computer is much better and faster at it.
The swooping is usually seasonal. It’s a sign they have babies or eggs nearby I think. They mostly have never swooped me, they just chase threateningly from tree to tree while yelling.

Their young are sort of cute and can’t fly, but can hop and walk. The family will watch over them from above while the kids wander your neighborhood, strangely not swooping or yelling at you

Break your TOS. An ISP that doesn't allow you to use the internet is a web service provider.
I don’t want to take a survey, but I’d say this.

The biggest problem with the media is probably that technology has changed the business model of the news into a fear/outrage-porn machine. Once the algorithms find an angle that’s catchy and gets clicks and shares and views, there’s no stopping many normal folks from adopting that as their new sole reality without much critical pushback or questioning.

We went from Omicron panic to Putin outrage basically overnight because a new scary story gets more attention. Many people went from masks and vaccines as the central part of their identity to Zalensky and Ukraine without even blinking.

If anything causes WWIII, it’s going to be the media’s business model making people crazy with endless outrage clickbait and spurring politicians to do something stupid.
I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet but I like the name!
Could I still have a promising career in tech without learning data science?
I'm currently in my senior year of university and a lot of my peers have been discussing career paths they plan to get into. A lot of them seems to be looking forward to getting into data science and engineering. However, for me personally, I kind of hate working on stuff related to data. I have a project focusing on computer vision which serves as a primer to students in data science field but I dread working on it and most of the concepts I'm learning aren't really appealing.
Very cool.

I enjoyed the original game.

I'm not too familiar with the state of wasm runtimes so this Frank Denis post/benchmark [0] was pretty helpful.

tldr:

> Are you looking for the best possible performance to build a “serverless” infrastructure? WAVM may be better a choice, combined with “snapshots” of the linear memory made after initialization, as done in the excellent FAASM.

> For untrusted applications, and if you are into Rust, you may want to consider lucet and its unique ability to stop/resume/reschedule execution.

> Are you looking for a one-runtime-to-rule-them-all thing for multiple components of your application, written in a variety of programming languages? wasmer will probably be the easiest to integrate.

> Are you looking for a way to test the latest WebAssembly proposals? Check out wasmtime. Ditto if you need to run WebAssembly modules from Zig. wasmtime is fast, even on ARM CPUs, although I wish I could test on one of these fancy new Apple M1 machines.

> Finally, if you need something simple, lightweight, that works everywhere, wasm3 is your friend.
