More than 20 years ago MP3.com tried to educate and support the independent artist. Some would get popular on the platform and eventually get signed and remove their content from the platform - a contract with a label was and is a huge draw, even if it doesn't provide the support and compensation they expect.

On the flip side, Eve Selis is an example of an artist who broke on the scene during that time and maintained control over her art https://www.eveselis.com/
I agree that it would be great if more artists followed that path.
The cookie/tracking prefs should move into a browser-supplied pane, and be regular for meaning. The overlay popup in "house style" is a really bad move, there should be cross-industry agreement on the values, and motivations, and then in browser management.

I enjoy a car haggle every now and then, but what makes it so fun is that its one of the few places you can haggle.

Try to haggle down the price of a bean burrito at taco bell and see how much fun that is. There are all kinds of bean burritos to choose from in mi barrio, but they aren't budging to make a deal.

The same people haggling for cars are paying over asking on house bids.

I've haggled at a guitar center, but then I can't do the same thing at a hot topic when I pick up my chain jeans.

It's a weird game, but more bragging than haggling. The sense of satisfaction at having bargained it down is a pretty good rationalization after you've purchased.

The purpose of this thing isn't really performance but fun and exploration, if I'm reading the author's comments right. For examples like yours though, between the static analysis done by the compiler, whatever the JIT does and intrinsics, you can't readily predict what's going to run faster by looking at the Java code or the bytecode.

These days, a much broader range of things that are equivalent-looking end up performing the same once the JIT gets involved, including stuff that seems to be naively doing allocations in inner loops. There's a whole genre of SO questions and answers that boil down to throwing a micro-example like yours into JMH and finding out they have identical performance profiles.
No, deadlock-free code requires some additional structure. There is no general way that I know of to prevent deadlocks in any software with non-trivial lock graphs, but there are standard techniques to detect deadlocks programmatically so that they can be broken and resolved. OLTP databases figured out how to do this decades ago, but those techniques are expensive for general purpose programming.

The common method for deadlock-free code is roughly that when a thread is required to wait on a lock owned by a second thread, it checks to see if the second thread is waiting on a lock already owned by the first thread. This requires that the lock graph essentially be a high-performance and concurrent global structure.

Locks like this can be expensive, particularly under high concurrency or contention, so they aren't used for most software. If you can fit your software in a simpler model e.g. where locks are singular or only acquired as a DAG, then much higher performance options are available that don't require deadlock detection.

I promise I'm not going to argue about abortion, but it's the most obvious example I can see here.

If the "ceremonial" change in government that happened in the US in 2016 had gone the other way, we would 100% guaranteed not see the Roe v. Wade ruling being overturned. It will be a judicial action that reverses this policy, but it required the election of Trump to happen. This is not a slight tweak. The count of the votes in that election resulted in real policy differences. Nothing ceremonial about it.

This isn't kayfabe. Ask a UK fisherman how real the impact of the 2016 Brexit vote was. My the thinnest of margins, a non-binding referendum gave an elected government what they needed to make dramatic changes in policy. No tweaking here.

Of course I won't pretend that all power rests in the hands of "The People." Yes, civil servants, judges, and media barons all have vast amounts of power to agitate for war, ban e-cigarettes, or legislate from the bench.

But the people do have one lever, and I'm glad our culture considers poo-poohing it a taboo.

My personal take on "what china does" is that the only numbers you can rely on appear in the 5/13 year planning. Anyone who puts a figure on the table which wasn't agreed to in a plenary, is going to face the reality that only the plenary commitments count.

IPv6 (for instance) was made a plenary commitment. I think that is what really drove the Chinese internet industry to do deployment, no amount of non-directed economic rationalisations got them there.

Failing to meet the five year plan is a big boo-boo. If the nukes are in the plan, then they're going to break ground. If not, "it depends"
They don't make their service revenue primarily from brand new cars, for the obvious reasons you've stated. It's when the timing chains, water pumps, head gaskets, piston rings, clutches, etc break, or the preventative maintenance to keep them from breaking (Audi timing chains, 10x $$$ if you don't replace them on schedule because of the interference engine), including the regular fluid flushes, battery replacements, air filters, etc. 80% margins on the little things add up :)
Sourcing Herod the Great's calcite-alabaster bathtubs
Dealers have almost wide latitude about submitting and getting paid for "good will" warranty claims, as long as they don't abuse it.

Sometimes manufactures will direct dealers to fix things that are long out of warranty when weird things happen (like in Seattle when that radio station sent out a bug that bricked the radios over RDS -- the manufacture directed the dealerships via a service memo to replace the radios and bill the manufacture).

Service is a decent part of most dealerships these days, and a good amount of that income is driven from warranty claims.
Specialize in whatever is in high demand and you will always do well.
And this is again the essence of whataboutism and demonstration of its uselessness and harm.

See, I tried to explain how it is reasonable to handle the question about Ukraine, but you, instead of interacting with the issue, flooded the medium with complete unrelated nonsense.

You just flooded the medium with noise mostly.

I think Ukrainians made a very correct observation about Chomsky

https://blogs.berkeley.edu/2022/05/19/open-letter-to-noam-ch...

"While you admittedly call the Russian invasion of Ukraine a “war crime,” it appears to us that you cannot do so without naming in the same breath all of the past atrocities committed by the U.S. abroad (e.g., in Iraq or Afghanistan) and, ultimately, spending most of your time discussing the latter."

See also the example I made here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31602479

Worse, the two issues you like to stress here constantly (Yemen, Ethiopia) are completely different in nature and have very different solutions as was explained here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31603138 based on Yemen example.

In fact, there is (for now) clear and straightforward solution to end the war in Ukraine but Yemen and Ethiopia are lacking such solution, so these 2 are even completely irrelevant to the problem at hand.
Journalists especially seem eager to have tech put back in its place.

These days it feels like they are straight up antagonistic towards the whole industry. A quick scan of The Verge homepage, I see mostly sarcastically negative stories (Netflix is finally taking a page from the rest of Hollywood) and neutral PR placements (Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered is coming to PC in August). As far as I can tell the only positive headlines are affiliate listicles (Here are the best tablet deals right now)...

If you get paid more purely because you were born in the US and not India you’re being unfairly enriched for being born in the right place.

- some people will be vastly better compensated than others in terms of cost of living
> Agreed. And other factors like taxes and quality of living are all playing a role for what the person will ultimately receive. Interestingly enough, oftentimes these balance each other out. Higher taxes? Usually better infrastructure. Lower taxes? Maybe hospitals less good.

We might not agree in all points, but where we apparently strongly agree is on this point:
"remote work has shown us most people are generally equal in output"

We agree with that. The only next step we do from there, is that for us, it matters, that for the same output, the company pays the same compensation. Why not go further? Why not think a step further from paying the same and adjusting it based on factors like cost of living, quality of living? Because that's very hard to quantify. We say, that the boundary of this decision is, how much we as a company pay to the human on the others side. We can't control what exactly will arrive, there are different taxes, health insurances etc, which all have an impact on what you ultimately earn.

I’d agree they’re at opposite ends of the complexity spectrum: it’s very difficult to write a moderately complex python program which uses even a single dependency and is bug free, then deploy it to the machine of a non-technical user. Rust meanwhile excels at this task.

Oh wait, that’s not what you meant?

Monogamous relationships generally come with clear rules and responsibilities, including rules and responsibilities for caring for children. If there are no clear rules and responsibilities for caring for children, that increases the risk that the child-rearing won't be done properly.
We’ve already begun using this framework and have made offers to candidates with surprising non-obvious results. Here are some examples:

- We offered someone 30K below what they were currently making

- We’ve made a comparable market offers

Rust makes it very easy to use plain old OS threads, which work very well for many, dare I say _most_ use cases. OS threads are a lot lighter and cheaper than many realize, and async has it's own hidden costs. In the cases that OS threads don't cut it, a general purpose async runtime isn't likely to either. Green threading libraries are also possible without language integration [0], and though they require custom I/O types they have a synchronous API, which makes generic abstractions easier. Now of course if you want the async coding model with all it's benefits (selection, cancellation), then there is really no escaping it, but it's certainly not the only option.
The only way to break ground is to promote the music of others that "magically" trends on TikTok non-stop.

I joined because I wanted to figure out how it worked and luckily I have been able to mostly resist the addictiveness of it by manipulating search on YouTube to find the content deeply buried on that platform.

As a label runner myself. it quickly becomes apparent that TikTok is gamified, and it really only cares about promoted content, and everyone is at the mercy of the 5 seconds of fame rule. Even people who do go viral get exhausted by the content consumption factor of the platform, but the truth is that TikTok is just the most recent and updated iteration of the social media model that really does not work for new music discovery.

Listeners, the people that actually buy music are too used to playlist culture now, no one goes searching for music because of the sheer tediousness of the process, and when any music, even total drivel is played repetitively to people, it simply ends up selling.

These platforms are a distraction from our lack of choice and individualism, and it also highlights a time when being a successful independent entrepreneur is totally under threat because not only can you be let down by the illusion that success is possible on these platforms, you can also waste lots of money on ads that don't work for much other than generating bot stats, and years of fruitless promotional work on these platforms through the opportunity they promote as "being possible". These platform timelines are focused on single posts you make, they have no interest in allowing people to follow up on your music, and they do absolutely nothing to help listeners to find your music, the work is all on us... The process from scratch every time a new platform rises is excruciating when you don't pay a lot for shortcuts, and those "shortcuts" are what skews every stat you see on platforms.

That being said, I mostly go "viral" for the memes I post over our actual music videos... It's allowed me to polish my video production skills and I do get slightly more music sales than the old days of selling CDs out of my trunk.
CVE-2022-26134: RCE in Atlassian Confluence and Data Center products
That's a really awesome story with a great opening, middle, and especially the end, if one ignores the adolescent fraud. I think it really highlights the simple joy that technology that literally just works can bring. I'm around the same age as the author, a little younger in fact, but there's just something about today's Internet and a lot of the overwhelming amount of technology that just isn't fun or memorable. From game consoles to land lines to various other things, there were pieces of technology that just worked and worked well. Of course, there was technology that didn't work well, but I think part of the tragedy is that a lot of technology that worked well has been replaced by "better" technology that doesn't work well.
> some guy who thinks he's superior to everyone else

I’d say that the fact he is a self made wealthiest man in the world (at least occasionally), might demonstrate that he is superior at least in some way to a good portion of the humans walking this earth.
> It is incorrect to assume that the only, or even the most important, purpose of bitcoin is for transactions.

Transactions may not be the only purpose of Bitcoin, but they are essential to the existence and security of Bitcoin. The block rewards for mining drop by half every few years and will eventually drop to zero. Soon, miners will be paid by transaction fees.

As Satoshi Nakamoto reportedly said: "In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes. I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume."
That surprising to me (perhaps due to bay area bubble), how do I hire people at that rate? Is it entirely about the location? Are the skill set expectations different?

If you think that anyone can simply emigrate to the US and then just go through some straightforward process to obtain the right to vote... you may be a bit out of touch with how the US immigration system works these days.

Further, there's been plenty of people born in and living in the US (under your definition of "a country includes any territory under its military control") who weren't able vote in US elections. There's residents of US territories who are technically citizens but cannot vote unless the migrate to the mainland. And the US has never granted voting rights to people living in countries under US military occupation.
Okay, I'll bite. How do I open a dealership?

I've seen there are two distinctly different types of PMs for greenfield and existing products. Product Managers for greenfield and technical program managers for existing products. Their focus tends to be different. Product managers focus on making sure that the product solves the customer problem. Technical program managers focus on ensuring things like quality and supportability are built into the product. Sounds like this might help solve the problem at FAANG.

In my admittedly limited experience, people born to Indian parents in the US don't care about caste unless they are Brahmin, in which case, they'll be taught their caste rituals. Indians recently arrived from India care a lot more because reservation (think affirmative action by caste) and Hindu nationalism have become a big deal in Indian politics.
Good TPM is that and worth their weight in gold... That's the role which should be more common across industry. Being a PM without a TPM sucks.
I think that's less a question of having ways to tell good stories and more one of a creative space being exhausted. There's a desire in a long-running series to keep raising the stakes as the series progresses, but doing so reaches a point where there's nowhere left to raise the stakes. I think that's been a bit of the problem with Doctor Who in the last few years. As they've kept raising the stakes (right up to the existence of the universe), there's nowhere left to go.
For the easy and medium, it seems like you can work outwards from the top left corner, solving progressively larger squares. 1×1, 2×2, etc. Once one of those squares is correct, you never have to touch the rows or columns in that square again.

Probably not a perfectly efficient strategy but it makes it easier to think about.
Yup! You want an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA). That's a box which takes Ethernet in, and gives you one or more FXS ports. (An FXS and an FXO port are similar, but the FXS port is the one which provides the current that powers the phone, generates the ringing signal, etc.)

It's important to note that other than call routing, the ATA has to do almost everything the phone company would do. The ATA provides any Caller ID, for example. It provides call-waiting, or 3-way conferencing. If you want to use a rotary phone, you'll need one that handles pulse dialing.

Your ATA will use SIP to connect to a VoIP provider. Some support using multiple SIP accounts (especially if the ATA has multiple FXS ports.
For my channel, Patreon provides about 2-3 times as much financial support as YouTube ads. If I started doing 30-60 second sponsorships in my videos, that would provide about 5-10 times as much as YouTube ads. I really like Patreon because it's just a basic and honest transaction. I only charge money for each video that I create, and people can give me feedback directly, and increase or decrease their pledge accordingly. Everyone gets what they are expecting.
Most people don't have the location. It's expensive to live where that kind of opportunity exists.
> So...Coinbase should keep the offer even if it makes bad financial sense?

Yes, absolutely. It’s called integrity. I just bought a house, probably at a loss, at the top of the market, and could have backed out because the economic situation is no longer looking as great. I could have easily used a BS contingency to get out of the contract. However, I made a handshake agreement and asked someone to upend their life for me.

My own code of ethics is to do what I say I will. Maybe it’s not the most game theory thing to do but at least I can sleep at night knowing I was an honest person. There are things in life more important than money.
Neon is actually easily replaced. It's everywhere in the atmosphere. I believe the steel production in Ukraine was just the most economical place to collect it. Much more important are food, energy and fertilizer disruptions.

Right now we have fairly high fuel prices (not adjusting for inflation, IIRC) and China is coming out of lockdown so expect energy prices to go even higher.

I agree that the world hinges on Taiwan right now. It may be that the illegal(in China) foreign investments of China's ruling class and military leaders are the only thing truly restraining a takeover. Time will tell. Not even Intel can handle a Taiwanese invasion due to the lack of support chips.

Putin caught Europe in an energy checkmate and China seems to have the work in a semiconductor check. These are dangerous times. I am slightly amused by folks who talk about market technicals while ignoring the elephants in the room. We may be witnessing the formation of a new world order that we are simply unprepared for. The US is actually in a decent position, having geography and natural resources on our side. Life may be difficult for our allies later this year, however.
I have yet to encounter this kind of person at the FAANG I work for. Perhaps they all work at Facebook.

I've known people who work at Best Buy and they get their products substantially cheaper, just as the online retailers do. There is some level of bake in for storing it at the store... but not really much different from sitting in an amazon warehouse for instance, most best buys have large warehouses in the back you'd never be aware of. Many people aren't aware of the price matching nor take advantage of it, they also sometimes will "confirm" the price match, so you can't really fake them out. And you end up browsing whilst they do the price match + grab the product from the back.

Long term sustainable simply because they've already baked it in and it's less widely known amongst the typical consumer and its honestly kind of a hassle, people pay for convenience.
