Musicians setting their own individual pricing is far too complex for modern royalty systems to manage. Because of the dynamics of the royalty system, a huge overhaul would need to occur before that is possible on a large scale, it tragic that it hasn't been in process yet, but the system is old and resistant to change because it serves the wealthy "just fine" already.

I like to think that lowe pricing would encourage the purchase of music again. Streaming has taken over I believe BECAUSE of the current high price of downloading music, which is still close to the price of music when it was sold in physical formats. Switching to digital was primarily enticing because it was meant to lower cost of music, but that didn't take effect.

BandCamp allows musicians to set their own prices on their products, and they facilitate artists in selling physical media still, but the traffic and user experience on that site is nowhere near the quality that major competitors portray on a regular basis.

The main problem I have is that so many artists I know, that people would think are successful, are not making significant profit, while platforms and the major artists they push above everyone else, are significantly overpaid in comparison to harder working (and often just as talented) artists.
It depends on how you define design. Herbert Simon defined it as “to devise courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.” And there’s a lot of academic work around that.

The problem is that that’s not how the word is used in practice. I think most people would call that “planning”, and certainly design is a type of planning, but not all planning is done by people who we call designers.

I think a better definition that’s actually used in practice is that design is a way of looking at a product as if it was a kind of communication. The central question is “how will people perceive this?” so any type of art skill—not just visual arts, but theatre, music, writing, etc—is potentially transferable.

Communication is a universal human skill, so it raises the question of why a separate discipline has emerged in companies to handle the communicative aspects of the product. And I think this is because many people who work in tech fields are educated in fields with very specific conventions of communication, and an expectation that the burden of understanding lies with the listener. When these norms inform the creation of a product, especially when it’s aimed at non-technical users, it leads to “bad design”.

Professional ethics are a thing. "I was just following orders" not a valid excuse.

This goes for developers and data folks as well (everyone), so not like designers are being targeted.
Disagree. “Trivially easy” must be set in common sense to the average consumer. It must be something that they can do easily without any guides or tutorials. Changing my name on Xbox is trivially easy. This[1] is not.

Or just use a SSD.

My Home Assistant instance is sitting inside an Argo One case. It has a small fan (controlled by Home Assistant so it can be stopped if not needed) and a M2 SSD slot, which I'm using with a SSD that I pulled from a Chromebook. It's rock solid. I don't need any significant CPU and RAM.

The difference may be that they're sticking with their own data center but they don't have a mainframe setup. Mainframes come with expensive, locked out hardware, expensive maintenance, expensive experts, you name it.

With modern open source tooling, ridiculously powerful graphics cards, easily accessible FPGAs and free data center hosting software like OpenStack, Kubernetes, and glusterfs you can replicate many of the features that made mainframes enticing many years ago.

It'll require a heck of a lot of work to get the same performance out of a custom built solution, but long term it's probably cheaper than relying on IBM.

I doubt that they'll be saving any money by moving to the cloud unless they're horribly inefficient with their contracts right now. Just moving away from mainframes alone should save a significant buck, but if they were planning on restructuring their digital infrastructure anyway then now is probably the best time.

Connecting all the box is neat and all, until you have to muck around with payload json(which you often cannot inspect until an actual event is generated).

It feels like it's missing one level of abstraction.
What do you mean? In a flight simulator you have your controls controlling a plane (right body, dynamics are well known) in the sky (simple environment, dynamics are reasonably well known, even with different atmospheric conditions like wind). The output is visualized on the screens as a rendering of the scene.

In the case of robotic surgery simulator, you are using the controls to control the arm, but to interact with what? If you just want to move the arm around and maybe interact with some rigid objects sure that's easy. Would that add any training value to the surgeon? Probably not. You can get value only when the simulator includes a simulation of something the surgeon would have to face eventually - organic mass of the human body. Simulating that is hard, and I doubt anyone would invest much into it when you can train surgeons on alternative physical objects like pigs.

This isn't true. Compare NYC's average of 117 GPD[1] to TMWA's 165 GPD[2]. That's 40% more water use, per individual. The last year that NYC's residents came close to using that much water was 1996.

Given the context, "Never wait for a dataset to load again.

git won in the greater world because of github.com. There was nothing at the time for mercurial OSS hosting.
The person who started off this comment thread made a sloppy reference to "normal matter (i.e. quarks)". That statement should be read in good faith as meaning the existing known elementary particles as "normal" matter. That implies that some particle which only interacts via gravity and some unknown force is not included in "normal" matter.

To twist that by claiming such a particle would still be viewed as matter just like all the rest of the matter that goes into the stress-energy tensor is where the pedantry started in this thread. The original statement is pretty clear in its intent. The pedantic reading that followed that comment results in "normal" matter just being all matter by definition and hence "normal" is redundant since there can't be abnormal matter. That clearly isn't what the first comment intended since they actually meant something by "normal".
Yeah, based on the other responses, sounds like your case is an outlier... Were you using a custom domain, and do you know if your SPF, DKIM, DMARC were set up correctly?

> you cannot duplicate an email to a folder

Have you tried enabling labels? IIRC Fastmail defaults to a "folder" system, but you can switch to GMail-like labels, and a message can be in multiple labels.

Then it's just a matter of adding that email to the shared "Expenses" label.

IMO this is much better than duplicating emails.

> What am I missing, here? Genuinely curious.

Population distribution.

There are 50 states in the US. Each state gets 2 senators. States with low populations (think, Wyoming) tend to lean republican while the few states with high populations tend to lean democrat. The end result is these rural states end up with a disproportionate level of voting power in the senate where the fillibuster exists.

Were the US population evenly distributed then this wouldn't be as much as a problem.

There's also been a massive shift in political attitude with the republicans. Back in the Clinton presidency, democrats and republicans often worked together on bills and compromises to keep the government functioning. This changed with the tea party and Newt Gingrich at the end of Clinton's presidency.

After Clinton, Obama was the next democrat president. He had a filibuster proof majority briefly but lost it + the house for the rest of the presidency after the first half of his first term. He was still working on compromises with the republican party (unsuccessfully) and in his second term when he lost the senate it was simply too late to get anything done. Mitch McConnell launched the "we won't approve anything you want to do" policy.

Now, with Biden as president, the senate is 50/50 R and D. 2 democrat senators have said "we will not eliminate or change the filibuster under any circumstance" and that's where we currently sit. Democrats do not have the votes to move anything.

It's not really hopeless. Assuming democrats turn out in the midterm to vote for democrat senators (we just need 2 more) then a lot of positive changes can happen. However, if instead they take the "nothing we do matters" approach then we are boned probably for the next 2 years and maybe even longer still.

What's really distressing is republicans are now deciding that "any election that doesn't result in us winning was stolen" and they are putting into place laws to allow them to decide that "We don't think the people voted right or the democrats cheated" so they can effectively steal elections. We are heading head first into tyranny.

I can't stress enough how important it is to vote for democrats in the upcoming elections. I get that people don't like them in many issues, but america is currently facing a take over by a party that has turned fascist.
- Passing the allocator gives the user of the container control over where memory is allocated and the scheme used to clean it all up. You can always set a global allocator if you wish, nothing forces you to use it as a parameter.

- Regex can be provided as a library and specialized at comptime. There's never been a need for regex to be part of a primitive type and many other languages do fine without it. Concatenation is a question of "where do you allocate memory" as you have explicit allocation it's not clear what zig should do with it thus the default is to let you call std.mem.concat and dealing with the possible failure or having a look at the problem and asking if you really need concat in the first place. Often you don't as formatting string is better done with std.fmt and ArrayList(u8)'s writer().
They need to comply with the law, and the law needs to be enforced. Otherwise it’s chaos. You can’t just have someone unaccountably granting exceptions to compliance. It’s next to impossible to track and ripe for corruption.

I agree the law sounds pretty stupid and it should be changed though.
Not surprising you're downvoted on HN, but your comment is the only one that makes sense in this entire thread.

> Allow users to install apps from third-party app stores and sideload directly from the internet.

While I love the idea of being able to finally install SNES emulators and the like, many malicious actors will now pray on unsuspecting iOS users to install spyware, malware, and other crap via third-party app stores. Not everyone is as sophisticated as the typical Hacker News reader; younger and more naive users will be taken in as victims of various types of fraud.

I think that a better path for the European Union would have been to force some regulation of the app store process. Leave in place the parts of Apple's process that provide reasonable guarantees of security and privacy for users, but allow Apple to continue to be the gatekeeper, just with some oversight from regulators.

There are plenty of examples of governments regulating things that we might wish to be a little freer if only such additional freedom didn't come with perilous consequences for consumers. I submit the example of cryptocurrencies. Lots of freedom; very little regulation; many vulnerable people have lost their savings.

Yeah, it's dumb: people on cisterns will be far more conscious of their consumption (and possible reuses) than someone on a well or municipal connection. And hauled water will have better quality assurance than what comes out of a well.

But I have similar experience at a cabin without winterized plumbing and an iffy cistern, so over winter we haul in water too and melt more as needed. Probably going to install an incinerating toilet to augment the privy one day. It really makes you think about need vs. want. Lots of great USB-rechargeable pumps for hand-washing and shower head doo-hickeys these days.

> the Netherlands is dealing with what looks like some of the worst NOx and NH3 pollution in the EU

Note that there very little NOx emission comes from farming; 92% of NOx comes from industry and traffic. Farming emits mostly NH3.

> Dutch state to persist with poor policy, including shifting costs from rich landowners (the farmers) onto the rest of the population

I do agree that the Dutch government has a tendency to shift costs from rich to poor. However amongst the nitrogen emitters, the farmers are not the richer party here: that is the NOx emitting industry.
That is probably because upstate NY does not have new housing developments. All housing developments built from scratch since the 2000s that I have seen have HOAs. Many from 1980s and 1990s. Once the HOA is in place by the original developer, it is rare to get the votes needed to remove the HOA.
