> Enjoyment of music linked to a specific physical item seems incredibly shallow to me.

To a certain extent, but across the arts there's always artists that want to play with the format, so a changing of format can result in something being re-contextualised.

For example, you can have [multisided vinyl][1] with hidden tracks, or loop a track onto itself so the record plays forever (like Sergeant Pepper). Neither are really possible with MP3 (there's a Brian Eno record that does both (the track bifurcates and loops at them end), so you get a random sample looping at the end of the LP).

I am not saying this means the enjoyment of the music is lessened when you listen to it digitally - just that plenty of artists have written and produced pieces with the physical format at the front of their minds.

that's the issue: people make assumptions based on data that do not account for what does it mean to be cultural homogeneous.

For example USA are much less homogeneous than China.

And they actually do not exist outside of the political entity we call the United States of America.

But let's be clear, the fact that Italy - my country - has been fragmented more than it was unified doesn't justify the argument that Italians haven't existed for more than 2 thousand years.
Why should the medium not matter? I actually feel that's the shallow take

Quite often, historically, music comes as part of a complete experiential package. Gatherings around fire, singing and dancing in groups, celebrating life's milestones, getting dressed up for concerts, excitement at buying tickets, journeying in and out of the city to pick up new recordings.

All of those things are valid aspects of musical culture for me. Stripping the meta musical aspects from the musical experience is inherently lossy and in some ways diminishes the full spectrum of what music can be.

This is especially true for music that was created outside of and/or before the streaming milieu.
I don't work on embedded systems so I can't comment on that particular kind of work. Interference is still interference though, and while debugging things that are susceptible to this kind of interference you need to be very clear about what you know you can rely on and what may be wrong. Relying on printing to not interfere is not possible. At best it's more reliable, in my average experience it's about as reliable, and in the worst case it's the same and both are broken.

> especially if you use async logging

If you are async logging then pretty much all of this goes out the window though. Firstly is your formatting async or does it happen when the message is enqueued? Message formatting is expensive, and the longer the message the more expensive it is to format. If you're dealing with low performance devices, you can definitely expect this overhead to adjust the performance and timings of your code. Running printf("%s\n") on a 1MB JSON blobis going to mess everything up, for example. Secondly, assuming that problem is resolved, you still need to order the messages to be printed. There is absolutely no guarantee that two messages sent at the same time from two different threads will be printed in the same order unless you enforce that through some other primitives - at that point see above.
> Believe it or not, most people have never experienced democracy, and a sizeable amount do not believe that it is a superior society model.

Ask them if they'd like to get rid of corruption though: I would guess that most people would like to get rid of that from where they live, and you're more likely to remove it under democratic regimes.

> Some cultures will never be democratic in their current form, starting with the ones where religion is deeply intertwined with politics.

Religion or tribalism/clans? You'll find places that are democratic are less likely to be tribal/clanish (which often leads to less corruption), and there's a high level of modern secularism as well. You'll also find that these traits also tend to correlate highly with (historically) Christian cultures:

I like Apple Music because it integrates well with the Apple line.

More importantly though it is one of the highest paying per stream to artists [1]. Streaming needs to be much more lucrative for artists and consumer choice helps that.

It is nice to be able to buy the music as well if you want to support. Being part of Apple One is huge as well.

The latest music streaming royalty rates are as follows.

PLATFORM ROYALTY (PER STREAM) STREAMS TO MAKE $1

Tidal Music $0.01284 78

Apple Music $0.008 125

Amazon Music $0.00402 249

Spotify $0.00318 314

YouTube Music $0.002 500

Pandora $0.00133 752

Deezer $0.0011 909

I have lots of mp3/stored music as well and Spotify client started taking like 20-30 minutes to start up. Wasn't sure what it was doing...

Some of their patents for tracking are a bit dystopian as well.

> You unfortunately ignored both the low-rate spammers and the high-rate legitimate senders.

Both of these seem like imaginary edge cases that don't really exist. I'm going to gloss over the oxymoron of low-rate spammers.

> If you now bring in reputation schemes, then those can be played by adversaries, you'll end up at step zero but you have made a large climate impact.

How do they do that? If we focus on the current state of things, high rate legitimate senders already have an established reputation so they don't need to change how they handle outgoing emails.

The only thing that would change is how large email providers such as Gmail handle incoming emails from small/unknown senders, by accepting a sufficiently complex PoW as an indication that the email is not spam. Over time this should increase the sender's reputation to a point where PoW is no longer required.

TLDR: Nothing would change for the big players, small senders are given an opportunity to prove they are legitimate, and spammers remain locked out.
In this case there was so much in-house software already following the processes that Jira would have just been a royal PITA to use without custom plugins. But if your team is lean enough in such terms, I don't see a need for these things to benefit from Jira.
I've never seen a search box that couldn't actually handle input before, but Apple Music made it.

If I click in the search box and start typing, the box will lose focus at some random time and all my next keystrokes will count as play commands, usually pausing the music. If I come back to the search box, it happens again.

I know "text boxes" are cutting-edge technology that's barely 3 seconds old and developers are still learning to program them safely. Still, I expected more from a trillion-dollar company.

This is a nice example of the kind of thing that bothers me. I don't have a smartphone, my address book is mine. But given that probably 99.9% of all my contacts do have a smartphone with Android on it or a Facebook account there is a fair chance that my address book can be reconstructed from theirs.

Common misconception. Actually it's a Fibonacci sequence, so the next one really is https://rrr-project.org and then it's https://rrrrr-project.org.

I started to develop an interest for Shakespeare a few days ago but I can't decide how to start. Should I start by reading a play or should I watch one?

>I feel like we've lost essentially nothing.

We've lost: cover art, liner notes, the ability to share or sell your music without 3rd party permission, music stores, and in many cases local music scenes that formed around music stores. Bret Victor has been harping on this for years, but we've also lost a great deal of tactility - putting a CD in a player and pressing buttons to play it uses your hands in pleasant ways that screens just aren't.

As for discovery, the promise is greater than reality. I used Spotify for a while specifically for this purpose, but I didn't discover a single new artist through it. YouTube, by contrast, has introduced me to new artists, as have a few radio stations like KCRW and KQED (who both have excellent YT channels too). And you know what? Music discovery is a different mode of listening than enjoying my library and ne'er the twain shall meet, IMHO.
If I bought every song I've listened to over the past 5 years, I would have paid thousands.

I don't think we should somehow limit the use of AI for creative purposes. What the internet showed on the last 10 years is that there's an abundance of content. This won't change with AI, it'll just be even more content.

Obviously there are methods currently (algorithms, votes, impressions, etc.), so I don't see how we couldn't develop a new approach to tackle an increasing amount of AI-content

> Chinese people are happy to trade their privacy and freedoms if it means guaranteed prosperity and security.

One historical observation that was published a few years ago:

> It must be understood that liberalism and nationalism developed in China in lockstep, with one, in a sense, serving as means to the other. That is, liberalism was a means to serve national ends — the wealth and power of the country. And so when means and end came into conflict, as they inevitably did, the end won out. Nationalism trumped liberalism. Unity, sovereignty, and the means to preserve both were ultimately more important even to those who espoused republicanism and the franchise.

> China’s betrayal at Versailles did not help the cause of liberalism in China. After all, it was the standard bearers of liberalism — the U.K., France, and the United States — that had negotiated secret treaties to give Shandong to the Japanese.

> Former liberals gravitated toward two main camps, both overtly Leninist in organization, both unapologetically authoritarian: the Nationalists and the Communists. By the mid-1920s, the overwhelming majority of Chinese intellectuals believed that an authoritarian solution was China’s only recourse.

But this how folk etymologies emerge, because people find familiar-looking connections that "make sense" without much supporting evidence. You're using modern Norwegian to form a theory about the origin of an ancient word in a different language.

The fact is, we simply don't know for sure where the word "viking" comes from. The word was essentially invented in the 18th century to mean something other than the original meaning; the word was not so common during the Viking age, and almost certainly wasn't used at the time to refer to an entire culture or people.

We are not even sure if it is of Norse or English origin, and it's unclear who called them this first. The Old English "wic" meaning village or camp predates "viking" by several hundred years [1], and the Latin "vicus" is much older. The oldest sources we have for the word (as "wicing" or "witsing", both pronounced the same) are Old English texts; it's not unlikely that the word was first used by Anglo-Saxons to refer to "pirates" from the North, and that the word was then adopted by the latter.

Another possibility, as seen in the Widsith text, which refers to a tribe as "wicinga cynn", is that it refers to the historical geographical area of Vík (or Víkin) which today is the area surrounding the Oslo fjord.

> references itself as a source

This might be a 'germanism'. The article says 'according to SPIEGEL information' which translates to 'according to undisclosed sources that gave us information'

> cooperating and not cooperating

Recently there was a huge controversy about Telegram in Germany about them not disclosing personal information about accounts spreading illegal information according to German law. There were claims about banning Telegram in Germany, but after pressuring the app stores, Telegram seems to have given in slightly. So they are still not disclosing as much information as the authorities want them to, but it seems like they started to cooperate a bit.

'Nutzerdaten' in my understanding means mostly personal Data(real name, ip, address) but you are right, it is quite vague.
> I like Apple Music because it integrates well with the Apple line.

Is there a need to integrate with anything? All I need is to play music. Spotify is as integrated into macOS and iOS as Apple Music.

Too bad they are shooting themselves in the foot by neglecting user experience.
They claim to have learned Telegram gave up IP-Addresses and/or telephone numbers

> on suspects in the areas of child abuse and terrorism. In the case of violations of other criminal offenses, it remains difficult for German investigators to obtain information from Telegram, according to security circles.

So Telegram is not giving free access or follows German law, but did help out in some specific cases.

Telegram claims otherwise and says it never responded to requests.

Yes, they are protecting their source(s), so you have to take them on faith. Der Spiegel has, however, an excellent reputation and good track record.

Nonsense. Where do you think those infamous "Goths" came from? There are no sharp boundaries in influence.

If that was true, it would have ended before it began, because Christianization started long before the kings' official incorporation into the unified Christian world. Norse traders and mercenaries came back from places like Byzantium in awe, and wanted to be more like that. And as the article points out, much if not most of the piracy happened when kings and chiefs were Christian.

So wrong.

One of the most popular Chinese movies is “San Guo” or “3 Kingdoms”. This is historical fiction. There was a battle then just as there is still a battle now…in Taiwan.

From 1920 or so, a few groups, but mainly the CCP and the KMT (KuoMingTan) were battling for control of the mainland. The KMT lost, and so they fled to Taiwan. This battle is alive and well today.

In fact, rumor has it that Xi Jingping’s father whom served as the head of Canton wanted to secede in disagreement with Beijing and because there is still a history of Canton standing on its own.

China is fragmented still today.
