There is no government imposed royalty on "music" for on demand music.

Sites like Pandora where you can't choose your playlist do come under mandatory licenses. But services where you can play any music on demand is individually negotiated with the rights holders. The reason competition is ubiquitous is that the music labels didn't want to be beholden to one company during the streaming era like they were with Apple during the iTunes era. Besides, they make all of the money from streaming (70%+) and leave the services with a pittance. It's a horrible business to be in as a standalone service.

It only makes sense as an integrated offering. Spotify and every other stand alone service is going to always be stuck with the "Dropbox problem". A streaming service is a feature not a product.

There are also government mandated max royalties for songwriters.

When I was a part time fitness instructor, the only way you could get music from the original artist was by knowing some DJs who did it low-key who could mix music on the 32 count phrase with a consistent beats per minute (step/cardio kickboxing etc.). The more mainstream fitness music had to use cover versions of the music. It's easier to get a license on the music, song writing than the entire performance.

You or the studio also had to have a separate performance license to play the music during class.

I can go on and on forever and I yada yada yada'd over the details on purpose.
This is beyond "drinking the Kool-Aid" at this point, and very skillfully organised mass hysteria.

Finland, which kept relatively good relations with the USSR throughout the Cold War had actually been at extreme risk all along and must join Nato right now. Right... well at least they have a long border with Russia, not like Sweden... As long as they order F-35s everything's cool, I guess.
I don’t think he is saying it is working?
Having done 28 days of the potato diet, this is true. It is difficult to get over 1kcal of potato. Eating two kilos of potato in a day is heroic. I would eat like 1 kilo per day, and be satisfied-full. It's wild.
I actually have long term questions about the viability of the EU as a major global player.

It doesn't have the natural resources that the US/Russia/China have. It is interesting that the time was the nations that would be the EU were most dominant, they used colonization to get the resources from all over the world (see for example British Empire).

In addition, there is still lack of political unity, with a much less powerful centralized government compared to say China or even the US.
I run my home infra as sort-of-cattle. Nothing that matters is stored solely on local disk. If my Mac were to die, I'd probably spend an hour or so waiting for Homebrew and asdf to install stuff, and I'd have to manually grab some files from GitHub. The worst case would be my Windows desktop dying, since I have nothing in the way of repeatability set up for, but all I use it for is Steam. Again, mostly just dealing with the annoyance of installing Windows and waiting for Steam to re-download a ton of games.

Conversely, I can lose a k8s node and have nothing change. If I lose my NAS (separate node, separate Proxmox cluster), I'd have to boot up the backup (which boots daily to sync, then shuts down) and run an Ansible play to change its IP address so that all the NFS targets still worked. I could make that more automated, I suppose, but it's an unlikely scenario so I'm fine with the small amount of manual labor.

I guess my point is that I don't see the benefit in having a special OS for daily use. If I want to fiddle around and possibly break things, I don't want to be doing that on the device I use daily. I used Gentoo for years in the early 2000s, and no longer have the time or patience for my main computer breaking constantly. If I want to play with something, I spin up a VM. If I want to play with something baremetal, I have an old Dell T310 I can use, and a couple of ancient Macbooks somewhere.
I had an incorrect sense of when to use the term "mass". It's vocabulary.
>Exercise does this most effectively

Curious, does it depend on the type of exercise and, if so, do we know what mechanisms cause some types to have a disproportionate impact?
I just browsed that list and it was hilarious that most of the EU sites were google/amazon country sites. But that list is from 2019.
Why would you leave anymore, as remote working has become common? Quality of life has always been a major reason for staying in Europe, while low professional salaries have driven many away. Today the latter is much less important than it used to be.

I'm not sure there's a significant difference between depths of most of the London and New York subway systems.

Most of the London Underground is cut-and-cover tunnels sitting just below ground level (2-6m). The Thames Tunnel is 24m below ground level. The deepest station is Bull & Bush, Hampstead, at 57m (180ft) underground:

https://londonist.com/london/transport/how-deep-is-your-comm...

The NYC subway also uses extensive cut-and-cover routes, though deeper bores exist. The deepest station, at 191st St. (LRI) is 180 ft. (54m) below ground. About the same as the London Underground.

remember vaguely reading in some book (Jared Diamond?) that at one time the poor in Ireland lived almost entirely on potatoes and milk - and that they were much healthier in general than the richer elites. Apparently those two items + some green veggies are enough.

I just don't know how much muscles steroid junkies can add, but either way it's not healthy... but yeah you are probably right that it isn't that much.

Also, that parent comment was saying that you should trade fat for muscles, so my comment still stands.
All life as we know it evolved to inhabit this planet, so its no surprise that life as we know it is tuned to this planet. This is the evolutionary equivalent of overfitting an ML model to the data.
A job is a prison. Yours is just very, very comfortable, compared to most jobs (and prisons). It's not wonder you still yearn to be out.

Will you sit in front of your computer when you write your blog post?
Thank you. I see so many people here who seem intent on linking their online identity to their real life identity, a trend popularized by social media and which is in direct contravention to the common sense advice we used to give people: don't upload PII on the internet.

I understand many people rely on social media for professional networking but there's absolutely no reason why you have to use this professional networking account to trade verbal jabs with people on contentious topics, or confront trolls, or start political debates, etc. Make an alt if you want to slum it in the comments section. Again, this was common sense 20 years ago, and now seems like it's lost knowledge.
I'm interested to see how it evolves!

I've been a big fan of ChangeMyView(https://www.changemyview.co/) and Intelligence Squared (https://www.youtube.com/user/iqsquared) and this seems like potentially a great combination of both!

I think polling people before the debate to get the "initial odds" and then after to see how the consensus has shifted and combining that with some sort of score like CMW does would go a long way to advance the gamification!
The best time may have been 10 years ago — I don’t know enough to argue that either way — but the war is now going to cost Russia 10% of its GDP, and appears to already be interfering with Russia’s ability to maintain the effectiveness (such as it is) of its armed forces.

But this isn’t the only thing going on, lots of governments are giving actual weapons to Ukraine as well. If he was rational, sadly that appears to be a big if, that would probably help deter Putin too.
I forget that I was in the Midwest, not on the coasts, and things were likely different in this regard on the coasts.

You sound kind of unconsciously lonely or self-centric here. I don't mean that as an insult, just as where your attention seems focused. You also sound a lot like me, so i'm almost certainly projecting a bit here...

I have noticed that I am, eventually, not very interesting to myself, but the world is, and being "involved in mankind" has much to recommend it.

Other people have made such observations.

David Foster Wallace:

the so-called real world will not discourage you from operating on your default settings, because the so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self. Our own present culture has harnessed these forces in ways that have yielded extraordinary wealth and comfort and personal freedom. The freedom all to be lords of our tiny skull-sized kingdoms, alone at the centre of all creation. This kind of freedom has much to recommend it. But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving.

The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.

That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.

Isaiah:

What I’m interested in seeing you do is:
sharing your food with the hungry,
inviting the homeless poor into your homes,
putting clothes on the shivering ill-clad,
being available to your own families.

Do this and the lights will turn on,
and your lives will turn around at once.

I would suggest to you that you are feeling a call to service. It's worth answering not because it's "what you owe" or "because you have to", but because it keeps you alive and human. It's good in and of itself. It will delight and surprise you.

And if you're anything like me, it'll keep you out of your head all the time. And then the light can come in.
so by almost you mean almost 20% off?

OP is clearly saying they don't want more: they’re happy with what they’ve got and it is new and unfamiliar and they don't know what to do…

Most of the advice is not “want less” that’s not what people are saying. They’re saying “want beyond yourself”. Want more by looking outwards instead of inwards and start to pursue that.
I think (as a Brit myself) you're being overly defensive and inferring insult where there was none.

Suggesting that the market size of the UK might not be big enough to make up for the costs of complying with a law like this is not at all the same as saying that people from the UK are not capable of making using industry contributions.
> Internet access for example is a lot better in Europe compared to US.

Citation needed. Data I can find indicates that the US does pretty well for speed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Internet_...

That said, I have no doubt that the cost of internet in the US is substantially higher than in Europe.
Well then here's a meta-analysis from June 2020[1], the time in question vis-vis school closures. A study from 2021 finding that school closures had little effect on community transmission[2]. Here's another from 2020[3]. Here's another from last year showing lower transmission by children[4].

I pretty much optimized my life around my young kids. That's why I got a remote job (before covid) and only work four days. I genuinely believe it will be the best investment in my lifetime, and I will look back and be proud I made that decision.

> I learned that I needed to create happiness where I was, not try to find it elsewhere

I fully agree, but it's really hard to do so even if you know that's the right way.
They’re more than happy to tell me about this, so I’m sure if you ask they will be happy to share with you. They’ll even refund the whole membership
It's also the user's problem because there aren't websites to go to that aren't showing those banners.

Well, except the big, commonly-used ones where you've already consented (or not). Facebook, for instance. It's like this law was hand-tuned to consolidate users into only visiting a few commonly-accessed sites to save themselves the UX annoyance at the cost of the broader Internet's discoverability.
I felt fine after a month of nothing but potato and a few cheat days. But... it's not just potato. I ate oil too. And spices and vinegar. And a sweet potato every few days for variety and B-vitamins. But as far as I can tell you can get almost everything you need nutritionally from potatoes (if you eat the peel).

It was boring and awful 3 weeks in, but it totally worked. Happy to share my data if you are curious.

I think bitC was significantly more than that but I never used it in anger.

Years ago I came across another system, c-amplify, which was more literally a lisp syntax for C, intriguing but at the time wasn't able to get it to work.
https://voodoo-slide.blogspot.com/2010/01/amplifying-c.html

A whole lot of people, including commenters on the link above, don't really get the difference between something like that and a lisp-to-C compiler. I'm not sure where the cognitive gap lies.

10lb of lions mane would make an absolutely enormous amount of crab cake meat. Even if you figure you can sweat 60% of the moisture out of your mushrooms (which you probably won't, but let's assume that) that's still 4lb of 'crab' for 2 people. Most crab cake recipes call for 1 lb of crab for about 6-8 patties. Mushrooms might be a little bit less dense, but not that much less dense.

Played it recently with a 12 year old boy. He loves it.
This is a fun post, I got a few ideas.

solutions 1:

Obviously most 1 star and 5 star reviews are not credible so you can just ignore them and get a rating based on the other ratings but the users cannot know that you are ignoring said reviews

solution 2:

Rating system from 0 and 10 as it gives the user more room to describe their experience, it also has the secondary benefit of being something you can normalize. If the average review is a 8/10 , that becomes your new 5/10 and you can devise some kind of mean and standard deviations from the mean system. again you can ignore like 0/10 or 10/10 ratings for the same reasons as previously mentioned.

solution 3:

Could use some combination of sentiment analysis and correlate it to the numerical rating.

Ultimately the user should not know how the sausage is made, much like the youtube algorithm, some things are obvious but its vague enough to make gaming the system harder than a basic 5 star rating of equal weight.
Definitely true now. Under Trump, Costco was only beating by 1-5 cents, sometimes. Now, they can be half a dollar cheaper easily.
Because those events specifically are not connected to authoritarianism - and more generally military might is not is not authoritarian at least not directly. We’re talking how governments govern, not their ability to project power.

EG - North Korea is the most authoritarian state in the world but we haven’t seen them “invade” anyone “in the last 20 years”. The two are not directly related.

The best available bot that is also mentioned in the paper, is Probe. Expert humans will score the same as DeepNash against Probe. The best humans have no trouble recalling every piece that moved, and the square it originated from. Top-level play usually has very few moved pieces (since they are vulnerable to your opponent's general once your own marshal gets revealed), so memory is important but typically not the main bottleneck.
Kind of makes sense. The lake has been drying down since it was Lake Bonneville that covered much of the area in ancient times. You can even see the old Bonneville water line on the mountain ridge.

I'm an SRE.

* How many days per year are you on call? About 50. Depends on whether the team is fully staffed.

* How often do you actually get a call? Right now I think it's about 0.3 pages per 12 hour shift. So once every three shifts.

* How many rotations are you in, and how many other people are in those rotations? One on-call rotation with ~8 other people. Fluctuates wildly because SRE is a high turnover job, but right now we're pretty much fully staffed.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for being on call? Two thirds for time outside business hours. So a 12 hour shift on the weekend gives a full day off (or the monetary equivalent), even when you don't get paged at all.

* Do you get any time off or additional compensation for responding to an incident? No, except for a potential spot bonus for handling a huge outage.

Again, this very much runs contrary to the general consensus about childhood development. If you disagree, then you need to bring some facts and research to the argument.

I'm not so sure about that; I've certainly met plenty of people who did not understand it. HN is not representative of the wider tech community.

And "free as in speech, not beer" actually does little to clarify it IMHO; it only works well if you're already familiar with the concept, but if you're not it only adds to the confusion (free speech is about the freedom to say what you want, so free software is about being able to write whatever software you want?)

Now, "free software as in right to repair" would actually clarify it, but trying to get an understandable message out seems to be "unethical" so meh :-/

Doesn't matter, binary libraries are a big deal for many businesses, regardless of ABI constraints in C and C++ languages and compilers.

Either Rust wants to play on that field, or it doesn't.

Microsoft has broken their ABI plenty of times, and VS vNext might be when the next break will take place, which was initially planned for VS 2022.

Bashing C and C++ ABI issues on HN will do very little for those businesses to adopt source code distributions.
