Sounds like they're "fake" in that they're apparently fictional characters who aren't explicitly presented as such. They're just branding-icons, like the mascots who make a brand-name cereal. And then like with cereal, someone else actually makes it.

I guess that this might be concerning for folks who feel like they form spiritual-connections to artists, if they then learn that there wasn't really a singular artist. Though I suspect that most folks probably don't care.

Part of a critic's job is to educate people. A good critic can explain why a certain film is groundbreaking and why another film is recycling ideas that have been done thousands of times. The critic's end-goal is to push the industry to make better films not because of critics, but because the public demands it.
People love their diets. They are even willing to do heart surgery to keep their diets! If doctors slapped live glucose monitors on their heart surgery patients and told them to follow a low carb diet (which can then be verified thanks to the glucose monitor) the vast majority of those surgeries would be unnecessary.

I can fully understand why people are unable to follow a proper diet that won't kill them but that's exactly what the glucose monitor is for. The only arguments against glucose monitoring is some misguided puritanical insistence on blaming people for their diet instead of recognizing that supermarkets are set up to make you buy low quality food that you make you overeat.
I’m aware but really their goal is to do both at the same time not to sacrifice one at the expense of the other.
The ability to experience a memory as precisely as you want, including the option of a full mental transplant, like loading a save file for a video game. See, hear, touch, smell, taste, and think the exact same thoughts as you did 15 years ago. The playback mechanisms will have some caveats, as it may not strictly be possible to playback perfectly, as you are a different person with a different brain and body than say 15 years ago. You could relive something in the first person perspective, or perhaps just observe yourself from a third person perspective.

To a lesser degree, just being able to hear the dialogue in your brain at the time of a memory would be monumental. Then you can get into the business of using tools built around this, such as searching your memories, computing statistical analysis (maybe you can find out why you haven't been able to commit to an exercise habit for the past 5 years?), and so on.
iMovie is not on Windows. AFAIK it has never been, unlike Logic.

I agree with this. I’m a somewhere between generation X and millennial, and for some reason tech was uncool in the eyes of my peers. Suddenly many of them are talking about decentralized this, UX that, and the whole space is slowly losing it’s “coolness” to me.

I’ll admit I enjoyed the exclusivity that my interests evolved into, but I definitely wish I had more people around me to share my interest in technology when I was younger.

In a way I think I grew into this expectation of exclusivity, as that was the only way my adolescent self could tell myself it was a cool hobby.

Age might play a factor in this equation, as others are saying. I say this because I have found enjoyment in simplicity more than complexity these days, and I’m told that’s something that happens with age. Writing a website that runs purely on html+ css, text based communication (as in not slack or discord), and things that I can work on for a few days and complete. I’ve taken a recent interest in sailing. My former self wanted to take on massive undertakings of complexity that required months or years of planning and doing to accomplish. To go on a bit of a tangent, I remember having an idea years ago to find a way to build a computer into a boat which would take real-time measurements of the water and weather conditions. These days I’m interested in reading my surroundings to understand the environment.
In a purely functional way, that makes sense. You already knew you're coming for omicron news and that you'll find them there - so you can scroll past the actual novel articles. More surprising or urgent things will be higher.
> The CFPB said that TransUnion asked customers, who were seeking a free annual credit report the company is required to provide under federal law, to enter credit card information as part of what appeared to be an identity-verification process.

> The agency said the company then “integrated deceptive buttons” into its website that made customers think they could access their credit score for free, in addition to the free report.

> “In reality, clicking this button signed customers up for recurring monthly charges using the credit card information they had provided,” the CFPB said in a press release. “For consumers looking for a way out of their subscriptions, TransUnion not only failed to offer a simple mechanism for cancellation, it actively made it arduous for consumers to cancel through clever uses of font and color on its website.”

Wow, dark patterns to get people to sign up, then more dark patterns when they try to cancel.

Ok but more demand for housing plus more supply means an amazing economic growth opportunity right? Nerfing supply means keeping ourselves from it. This is why low interest rates are good - the stimulate development!

And yes I see little appetite for federalizing zoning however it’s both an option with precedent and would actually help unlikely raising interest rates :)

Note : I invested in more than 20 startups and I’m a founder myself.

The best way is : 1 find someone you know who started a startup in your area, Or ask a founder during an interview or during a meet up or directly on LinkedIn.

Spend 30min to 1h with them and ask about their pre-seed and seed round there is a 99% chance that Business angels were included in these rounds. Explain that you want to invest and if they would be kind enough to introduce you to the smallest investor in its cap table.

Now… you’re done it’s just a matter of network.

Explain to the investor… and she/he will redirect you etc etc etc.

Ask for his/her WhatsApp to keep chatting and stay in touch in case they see a deal in your area of expertise. Now it’s a matter of reputation : what do you bring to a startup.

If you do a bit of pro bono in your area of expertise to a founder in exchange of network it will be even better. They will likely recommend you to other founder during their seed or preseed.

It’s all about network.
I worked at Meta and used Eden. I remember it as a virtual, FUSE based file system for a huge monorepo. Basically, if you have GBs of data in your monorepo, and any individual user accesses < 1% of it, then there's no point in having each "hg update" update the other 99%.

But we were explicitly dissuaded from having binary data. I worked on image processing, and wanted to store test images for unit tests in hg, but the consensus was, that was a bad idea. So we stored them in a separate data store, and had a make rule to fetch them as part of the build.
eyeroll

This idea isn't new either, see for example the cryptoanarchist manifesto (https://web.archive.org/web/20130822092045/http://www.spinna... ), which at least is a bit more fleshed out while still keeping the "i am an edgy teenager vibe"
I like to use an ereader for books I know I'll read cover to cover (novels in my case), but for other books (e.g. technical, where I skim through and jump between chapters) it's really lacking. How do people use ereaders for nonlinear reading?
It probably has a small dedicated team, and the sales revenue easily covers their salaries and any overhead.

I don't get why niche programs like that within larger companies are the exception.
I call this the Pentatonix Problem at Christmas. When left in "auto-play" mode, streaming services absolutely default to the lowest payout possible. The fastest way to discover if there was a Pentatonix version of a song is to ask "Hey Google, play <christmas standard>" ... "OK, playing <christmas standard> by Pentatonix"

So yeah, they pay a bunch of basement recording artists to throw together a million generic sounding low-effort Ableton jams and voila, lower play counts and lower royalties for the normal working artists.

Some genres are easier to game than others. Classical music is really rough right now. Unless you already know EXACTLY what version of the piano concerto you want, you're going to get some crappy midi playthrough that was likely just the "performer" dropping the sheet music straight into the midi roll.
You've got to be kidding me
> What makes the artists fake is that they are publishing only a couple songs for the specific purpose of providing the streaming platform with royalty free music

The article has 3 examples. Two have easily identified 3rd-party labels, the last is unclear. Neither is a traditional label, but there is also no indication they are owned by Spotify.

> People buy it expecting a curated playlist of music they want to hear, and instead what they get is a curated playlist of music that sounds similar to what they want to hear.

What bands would people expect in a playlist of background music? In fact, one is from a provider of royalty-free background music - which seems like exactly what you would expect in such a playlist. You could argue that it's not really jazz, which is understandable, but I'll file that gripe along with my anger that "New Metal Tracks" features lots of metalcore.
Just because you are conscientious and don't take advantage of your employer doesn't mean that others (many others) don't, especially in a large organization where it's easier to feel anonymous and disconnected.

Generally, yes.
This seems like trying to harness Dunning-Kruger (high ability leads to self-doubt) backwards: self-doubt leading to higher ability? As others have clarified below, this may work in the sense that reflecting on experiences increases your wisdom. The amount of reflection done seems to be largely a function of personality, but maybe it can also be a function of culture. I'm not sure what that would look like though, can reflection be institutionalized or just encouraged on a personal level?
That's not what it means. It means that rational observation free of bias aligns more closely with liberal politics.

Per the examples given: Scientific observation says climate change is real, man-made and an urgent threat. Liberals agree, conservatives don't. Maybe not to a person and maybe not with 100% fidelity to the science but the trend is unmistakable.

Same for many other conservative fallacies like "tax cuts pay for themselves". We have data and know it isn't true. And current hot topics like election fraud. All the evidence says it's extremely rare. Liberals agree with the evidence, conservatives don't.

That's not the entirety of the political divide and there's plenty of subjective and philosophical arguments irrespective of evidence but when it comes to justifying policy, one side relies on evidence one doesn't.
You know, I think there would be people in this thread that would call that a good movie. It challenges you to think about cinema differently and provides a unique theater experience.
Canon? (Unless you're talking specifically about the 1812 overture. :-) )

I wonder how copyright extension has affected this phenomenon. Works taking decades longer to enter the public domain, leading to the existing public domain (old) music becoming even more solidified as classical canon? If anybody knows about this I'd love to hear more.

Me too. Any parent can teach their kids to read. Read to them at bed time and angle the book so the kid can follow along. I started reading Dr. Seuss at around age 3 or 4 and by age 6 I was reading illustrated medical texts. I didn't become a scholar or anything. But I did develop a very independent mind.

You don't pay tax on I bonds if they are directed towards educational expenses for you or your child.

Compare this with a 529, which serves a similar purpose. Then this just reduces to a stocks vs. bonds argument, but for your kid's education. Do you value safety or STONKs then?

Also, I find changing beneficiaries for an I bond is easier than a 529, in the event whatever beneficiary doesn't pursue college (a decision I understand more these days), but IANAIA (I am not an investment advisor?)
> why people sometimes have a hard time changing their mind when confronted with new information

Something else happens with me, it's like my brain says "this does not fit in with what I understand, discard it". At a conscious level I don't hear what I've just been told. I have to be told it again, and sometimes more than twice before it finally works its way in. It's a liability for me and a frustration for others and it's just plain peculiar.
How so? I never thought of it as slow.

I think the '90s had a bit more variety than the '10s and (for now) '20s.
E.g. we seem to have lost good legal procedurals, thrillers, weird fiction, and "small scale" sci-fi.

Fo example, what are the'10s equivalents of "A Few Good Men", "Seven", "Dark City" and "The 13th Floor"?

There is _some_ stuff, but less than before, replaced by a massive amount of super hero movies or long-running franchises.

As a support clue, I invite you to consider the winners of the MTV Movie Awards, which are more "popular" than other Awards:

92 Terminator 2: Judgment Day
93 A Few Good Men
94 Menace II Society
95 Pulp Fiction
96 Seven
97 Scream
98 Titanic
99 There's Something About Mary
00 The Matrix (bonus: not 90s)

compare with the 10s

10 The Twilight Saga: New Moon
11 The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
12 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1
13 Marvel's The Avengers
14 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
15 The Fault In Our Stars
16 Star Wars: The Force Awakens
17 Beauty and the Beast
18 Black Panther
19 Avengers: Endgame

I have the feeling most "risky" movies, for lack of a better word, have moved to streaming services.
I don't get it - would you would think you can hose out a consumer car like this, with the fabric seats and all that plastic trim? I've hosed out Land Rovers, but they're clearly an off-road vehicle designed for wading.
You're referring to the fictitious centrifugal force [0] which is actually a minor change in inertia—very much out shined by the centripetal force of gravity. For example, on earth if you weigh 200 lbs on the North Pole, you'd weigh about 199lbs on the equator. On the moon, this tiny effect would be wiped out by gravity.

This is the direction my current employer is headed. I was sent on a week long course to evaluate the viability of PowerApps. While there is certainly some cool stuff in there, it just doesn't feel like we should be moving all our development there wholesale. There is certainly a time and place, or at least that is how it seems to me.

Business / money making / crucial systems? No. Some random HR survey application? Maybe. Sadly Microsoft seems to have convinced a number of folks in our organization that this tool set is appropriate for all our development.
Your name will end up on a list.

Such lists can be queried by those that are properly connected, typically LE/three (and in some countries four) letter agencies if your name ever turns up in some other context and then it might be given some weight, but other than that I wouldn't expect anything to come of it assuming that you are telling the truth. Such inter-service requests for information on particular individuals are pretty regular but someone first has to ask for you by name, and in a country with proper privacy protections typically a judge would have to sign off on such a broad request, but these mechanisms are not always perfect.

Reading threads isn't a crime, but hanging out in places where lots of criminals hang out doesn't help you in the association department.
I'm confused, America had a system where divorce rates where much lower (even in the face of poverty!) , which is ostensibly your goal. You've simply brushed aside a tested system.

CVE-2022-22965 – Spring RCE (which does NOT impact spinnaker)
Testing models*
My assumption here is that popular songs are covered then assembled into generic playlists which are then used to divert the lion’s share of revenue away from the original artist’s music. Thus providing Spotify or the labels a low-cost way of minimising their royalty payout figures for listeners that aren’t fussed if they hear the original or a cover (eg mindless background music).

They are “fake” artists as they’re hired by Spotify, the label or a 3rd party to produce the cover for a fixed fee, which the rights are then held. To use various names also distracts from what would be highly repetitive production credits.

The author notes that such investigation isn’t possible on services other than Spotify because they do not provide much background information such as play counts. However this information is not necessary, one can simply play the generic playlists made by the music services and check to see if they are the originals or covers.

There is definitely large variation in the streaming industry here. It also wouldn’t surprise me if music services are favouring these playlists as a means to reducing their royalty payout costs.

This is very true. You also probably need the scale having multiple install locations makes sense.

We went dedicated early and while it didn't make sense at the time we now run at way lower cost than the competition could dream of.
I understand that, but think about the trade-off:

I am potentially earning $40-80 on interest over a year, but I lose access to $1000 ear-marked specifically for emergencies.

If it's truly an emergency, then you're better off with $1000-inflation. Maybe get a high-yield savings account and split the difference ($20/yr, but access at any time).

I will concede that people have different definitions of "emergency" funds. I see it as, $500-1000 sitting in an account to deal with things that need to paid for now or else bad things will happen. So sudden car repairs and the like.

Other people call six months of wages an emergency fund. For these people, yeah, a ladder makes a lot of sense, but that's mostly because they never really expect to need the entire amount immediately (thus, IMHO, not really an emergency fund).
