Apple decided my credit card expired (it didn’t).

Unlike other services, if you stop paying, it deletes your entire library (including playlists) from all your devices. So if you want to switch to another music service, you’re hosed.

I’ve been fighting for a week or so now to get my playlist data via the privacy tools. Just yesterday they decided to give me a list of all my app downloads, instead of what I asked for.

Apple wants me to pay to get back access, but I’m not willing to give their services division another $0.01 until they stop treating customers like shit.
> in modern times with modern government surveillance and weapons, instead of uprisings and coups

None of that helped in Afghanistan — where the locals defeated the US via persistent warfare.

Such tactics will work even better when insurrectionists can directly attack US production facilities, ambush data centers and technical staff, assassinate politicians, and attack solder’s families.

And that’s before considering whether some portions of the military would side with an uprising.
> I can access basically every song ever recorded at the click of a button

Yes, but the OP's point is that it's not really at the "click of a button" because the search appears designed specifically to make it easy to find playlists of songs but not individual songs (likely for royalty reduction reasons).

When I was a kid, I naively imagined when I was in my 50s, as I am now, we'd be much closer to many of the visions of future painted in media from Popular Mechanics magazine to science fiction. Today, I understand and accept why we don't have the proverbial "flying cars", but I am disappointed when stuff we already recently had (and could easily still have) is unavailable for bad reasons. As a technologist, I find this especially frustrating.
They aren't nazis, they're radicalized Ukrainians. Radicalized because the 2014 invasion of Crimea and the current "special operation". The same reason Finland and Sweeden wants to join NATO and Denmark backtracked on its EU defense participation.

Well, I had a UG as holding company in Germany and even though the company was basically dormant (besides holding shares in another entity) I still had file yearly accounts which cost about 1000€ / year. Plus another 200€+ for IHK, 100€ for Bundesanzeiger, GEZ / Rundfunkbeitrag etc. All for a company that didn't really do anything. Would you really argue that this is easy / good practice? Because in my understanding this really felt unnecessarily complex and expensive.
Now that they are the market leader, Spotify does not have any business incentive to make their app nice to use. In fact, their incentives are to keep you paying but not listening, since that maximizes their ROI.

Unless you're using a screen protector... something is quite wrong. For large objects a barely acceptable false contact is 0.5mm. There are conditions (moisture on the screen, cracked electrodes, "floating" on a desk) where this may occasionally happen, but if there is a specific location/area it's likely caused by a fault.

Screen protectors (and their adhesives) can do pretty weird stuff to the fields. Some designs may try to "calibrate" them out. That can also cause problems. Similarly, if you use a moisturizing hand lotion, that can leave a conductive film on the surface, which is sensitive to relative humidity.

this is a naive take. All corn is edible, though usually processed like it has been since corn was maize - ground or nixtamalized. And that’s how yellow corn is also used, to make tortilla chips and taco shells. You just aren’t going to grill it and eat it off the cob.

Saying it isn’t edible is like saying cassava isn’t edible.

> In the 90s I was buying CDs with five good songs and five filler for £15.

That is unfortunate. In the early 2000s, I was cleaning up buying used CDs for $1 on Half.com and Amazon.

The whole thing about "1 good song on a 10-song album" is a remnant of Steve Jobs' iPod marketing pitch designed to get people buying songs piecemeal for 99c on iTunes.

Regular people buy music if they want to support the artist. Trying to maximize the number of good songs per dollar spent is a kind of alien calculus that's led us down this path of algorithm-driven one-hit-wonder hell.

Well, the romans were probably one of the most militarily successful societies over a long period, but when talking about them, we still remember that warfare was only a small aspect of their society and not their way of life. You'll find plenty of books that focus exclusively on their politics, art, civil engineering, etc.

Hrm. I'm into that pomegranate thing, maybe not so much for the superfood thing, but because I simply like the taste.

Anyways, there is an experience eating them, which I didn't have with any other food, so far. I only can compare this with the feeling of burning heat you'll get when for instance drinking strong alcohol(Brrr!), or chewing and swallowing a few pieces of raw garlic(Brrr!). Then one can feel a hot burning sensation, spreading out from the stomach, all over the tummy.

Similar happens with pomegranates. But different, not hot and burning, just a good feeling warmth. And this happens only eating them raw, not from drinking juice, no matter if organic/direct pressed, or from concentrates. Still tastes good, but doesn't have the "effect".

Doesn't really matter where they come from, the strength of the effect and the taste varies, it's all very variable, depending on ripe-/freshness? Similar as it is with apples.

I've had very good ones out of season coming from Chile, had excellent ones from Iran, Türkiye, and elsewhere I can't remember right now.

Whenever I see them in some grocer/supermarket I buy one ore two for testing, and when they are good I'll get one to two whole boxes whith about 25 to 30 of them.
They store well, but it doesent really matter, since they are gone soon anyway :-)

tl;dr: Raw good, juice mostly still tasty, but not as good.

This is somewhat dismissive and feels unfair.

There is a huge QoL difference between an existence on Dialysis (CAPD being less miserable than haemo - but still hard) and post transplant life.

This is reasonable, as while the colloquial wording says “fish”, the law has to enumerate families.

The law explicitly lists many different species, including invertebrates, which is what “insects” are.

It just makes a “better” headline to claim that the court is calling bees fish.

The alternative would be the law not covering, for example, shrimp, or octopus, muscles, etc which are also not fish.
That's pretty cool! I wish that would catch on in the US. I live next to Guaranteed Rate Field. :/
This is already being applied to companies selling to foreign countries. As soon as you receive your payment you are forced to convert to TRY. You have to kind of immediately convert back to foreign currency and take the exchange markup and fees hit if you hope to be able to get new raw materials. Very few materials can be sourced locally. You also cannot enter contracts with foreign currency domestically anymore. The government has done almost everything save for flat out banning foreign currencies.

If you already have funding these costs are peanuts, but if you just start out or want to bootstrap the running costs of a UG (~1200 yearly?) could be a dealbreaker.
I’ve had this need a few times. Just a couple weeks ago I needed to quickly understand the set of package dependencies within a codebase and wrote some scripts that extracted a report as well as a graphviz file. I’ve done that a few times over the years. The biggest obstacle to a general purpose tool usually is the compiler front end that is needed to correctly parse the code to get the entities and relations you need to visualize. Without that it’s hard to write a reliable tool for extracting the information, and if you care about multiple languages you need multiple front ends.

People do want it (contrary to the common HN refrain of “well, I don’t want it so clearly nobody wants it”). We’ve had customers where I work specifically ask for these kinds of tools. They’re just harder than they seem to write, not only for the parsing reason I mention above. For many codebases you see a giant ball of spaghetti if you look at the full graph, or the layout algorithm gives you something gigantic and hard to browse. That’s a deficiency in graph visualization tools: again, a hard problem with little good tooling out there.

I’d love to see more work in this area since there do exist people who see value in it, contrary to the skeptics.

For one, the production of EV batteries is fraught with its own environmental harms and societal ills. But more simply, gasoline engines provide more freedom of movement and energy independence in the present day. Non-EV vehicles are also easier to work on and maintain, and older cars don't require specialized components just to turn on and run the engine, for example.

IANAL but I think the answer for US single-member LLCs is that if you were ever to actually say, cause 100k of damage to somebody else's property through the actions of your single-person LLC and they were to take you to court, the judge would quickly find that the liability passes through to you, so it's not really all that different from a sole proprietorship (aka just doing business as yourself) in that regard.

You'd only think that if you haven't compared the burdens associated with each.

I hate that in order to add a song to a playlist I have to add it to my library so that it is mixed in and listed alongside the full albums I’ve purchased. I guess I prefer using Spotify so that my library of purchased music and playlists for streaming are altogether separate.

Also on the desktop app the way to find new jazz releases is to first put the curser in the search input which opens a secret menu. Is there a way for me to “favorite” new jazz releases so that I can check it each week without so much scrolling and clicking?
In Python the IDE doesn't matter as much, because if the support is bad, you can always fall back on pdb.

In fact, I often use pdb anyway because it is sometime just quicker to run, and the code execute faster under it. Also, being able to execute any python code in a shell like env is super nice, and the concept of having commands instead of looking for a button has the same pros/cons than the cli.
Single player games fun to play around tv / switch controls :

Firewatch - about 6 to 10 hours narrative walking exploring adventure with beautiful scenery. Teens and up probably.

Outer wilds : astonishing space exploration game. So many mysteries and puzzles and wonders and connections to be made. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Tale of two brothers. There's sadness in this game but handled very well. If you're ready to discuss life and death with your kids. Beautiful graphics and fun puzzles.

Machinerium / Botanicula / Samorost, of course. Beautiful and lovely and happiness inducing.

Tons of point and click adventures.

Coop

It takes two - might be super fun for your kids to play as parents! Beautiful graphics and fun gameplay.

Lovers in dangerous space time - technically there's guns but nothing with people or anything recognizable.

Overcooked - if no guns is really a strict mandate :)

Yes, that is what Telegram is doing. It may not be protecting the contents from who you want it protected from (everyone but you and the message recipient) but it does protect the contents from other (notice I did not say all) adversaries Telegram and its users don't want accessing.

It is still encrypted so use correct language, please and do not weaponize words to your own designs.

My original article actually included an entire section on how to measure the effectiveness of stadium advertising, but I ended up cutting it due to length.

Essentially, you can try to break down the benefits into more understandable pieces. E.g. seconds of stadium dome signage shown on TV, seconds of press conference backdrop with stadium name shown on TV, number of eyeballs passing a sign during a game (classic billboard problem), etc.

If you run through these estimates (which clearly not all companies do before buying), it almost always looks like a bad deal. The stock ROI analysis confirms this, and is also a bit more compelling imo because it's harder to argue that something was left out. However, there are exceptions (such as Target) where the advertising components of a stadium deal can actually appear to be quite favorable, and interestingly the stock performance backs that exception up. My next Market Intelligence newsletter mentioned at the end of the article will go into more detail on how to do that analysis for an arbitrary deal.

Fully agree. A diagram is ok to describe a flow, but for complex code or systems, round tripping is a necessity, otherwise the diagram is or quickly becomes inaccurate and worse than useless.
In the 90s I tried software called TogetherJ, it seemed to support round tripping really well, so well maintaining code was the same as maintaining diagrams, and led to better quality in both, along with documentation and other benefits such as relaying higher order concepts.
I just did a search for togetherj and the only reference I could find was a 20 year old forum mention. Weird. I suppose there must be high end enterprise CASE software that still supports this approach, though I'm guessing most people abuse it so it's no longer respected.
I think these things happen in cycles, as we can 'orchestrate' larger systems with meta descriptions of components, they become more valuable.
