exactly that. having a few people that depends on me is like a driving force to get shit done. we should take it with care tho, because it can be unhealthy in a lot of ways (I tend to no care with the same intensity about my health/body, dont go outside with the frequency that I should to exercise and things like that)
That would probably just advantage the rich who can afford to keep much of their assets locked up for long periods of time, and even borrow against them.

It does not make your weapon more lethal, it does not make your weapon cheaper, it does not increase the capacity of your weapon. Sounds like more copium to me.
I've switched from Firefox to Safari for most of my browsing, and Chrome for anything that needs devtools.

Why? Battery. Efficiency. On the new M1 Macbooks I can run Safari and be unplugged all day long. The increased power consumption and battery drain is noticeable when using FF and I can't make it all the way through the day. As far as extensions go, I have 1Blocker and it works well, it does block YouTube ads. The only things I miss are Tree Style Tabs and Container Tabs.

I also find performance on FF to be a lot worse than both Chrome and Safari. Firefox gets sluggish with many tabs open. JS-heavy sites will be jittery and laggy in Firefox, but buttery smooth in Chrome. Having 100 tabs open is sluggish in Firefox, but smooth in Chrome/Safari. In FF some sites will occasionally crash their tab, but they don't crash in Chrome/Safari. Etc.

Then there's the attitude of Mozilla constantly changing the interface, shoving things like Pocket or Mozilla VPN in my face. Sorry Firefox, but I've left and not coming back.
In her book “Neurosis and Human Growth: The Struggle Toward Self-Realization”, Karen Horney talks about breaking negative vicious cycles by slowly creating positive ones. In this case by lessening the standards of absolute perfection. Quoting from the book:

“Just as vicious circles were at work to entangle him more and more deeply in his neurosis, now there are circles working in the reverse direction. If for instance the patient lessens his standards of absolute perfection, his self-accusations also decrease. Hence he can afford to be more truthful about himself. He can examine himself without becoming frightened. This in turn renders him less dependent upon the analyst and gives him confidence in his own resources. At the same time his need to externalize his self-accusations decreases too. So he feels less threatened by others, or less hostile toward them, and can begin to have friendly feelings for them. Besides, the patient's courage and confidence in his ability to take charge of his own development gradually increase. In our discussions of the repercussions we focused upon the terror that results from the inner conflicts. This terror diminishes as the patient becomes clear about the direction he wants to take in his life. And his sense of direction alone gives him a greater feeling of unity and strength. Yet there is still another fear attached to his forward moves, one which we have not yet fully appreciated. This is a realistic fear of not being able to cope with life without his neurotic props. The neurotic is after all a magician living by his magic powers. Any step toward self-realization means relinquishing these powers and living by his existing resources. But as he realizes that he can in fact live without such illusions, and even live better without them, he gains faith in himself.”

Perfectioism is a complex topic. I highly recommend the book “Perfectionism: A Relational Approach to Conceptualization, Assessment, and Treatment” by Gordon Flett, Paul L. Hewitt, and Samuel F. Mikail. It won't magically solve the issue, but it will help you gain understading and awareness of the unconscious forces within you keeping perfectionism at work. I believe that awareness is the beginning of change.
We never had any useful reviewers. Only on the US version.
Some states actually require silencers while hunting because of the sound disturbance.
Usually you don't put any extension on scripts that use a shebang (#!), so that you can chmod +x them, put them in your path, and use them like normal commands (which don't have a suffix).

IMHO the .sh extension should only be used for code that you're supposed to "source" instead of executing.
If you have enough chickens, the number of foxes, too, can grow exponentially with time.
Yes, we do have a fragile supply chain especially since many producers have gotten more lean with just in time practices.

But our supply chain did not inject an unprecedented amount of fiat currency into the global system.

Our supply chain did not lockdown production for an extended time.

It is not the supply chain that created our predicament.
Depends on the weapon and ammunition used. With subsonic ammunition silenced pistols can get pretty silent.

I think I remember some combination that did sound surprisingly similar to the movie effect, but I don't know which one.
Fascinating how in the modern west all efforts are taken to commoditize the human body in every way imaginable, and even overwrite the history of efforts to treat the human body with respect. The false equivalency stating that a public space for women must necessarily be a place that allows prostitution is horrific.
social media is a supernormal stimulus, our brains didn't adapted to deal with it or the companies that are constantly iterating to make it more addictive

it isn't much different from some of the crazy increases in potency of actual drugs and the negative impacts on society are similar

>He's now at an age where I have no agency over him - he's an adult in 6 months and he's got to figure out his own way

I'm close to your kids age and I think this is a bad mindset, young adults still need guidance. You have an obligation to give advice even if it makes him mad. Unless he is completely financially independent you are owed some respect
IIRC a lot of the profits of the music industry these days comes from live gigs and merchandise sales, or at least it did prior to COVID slaughtering the whole industry for two years.

IMO it makes sense for the music industry to shift their focus and attention towards live events anyway - you can't steal or pirate tickets (and scalper profits are often enough rumored to originate at the artists themselves) and merchandise, and the effort not just in development but especially in brand recognition building against Spotify would be immense, not to mention the shitstorm/backlash potential from such a move or the antitrust risk.
* You mean "The HU", unless there is another international mongolian throating singing metal band out there with a similar name.
This can't be anywhere near all of it, but check out the chat on the Lofi Girl YouTube channel, one hundred percent kids studying algebra and worrying about testing. Just like a chatroom in the 90's.
Music discovery/recommendation and really discovery/recommendation more broadly are just really hard problems. I know someone who gave a number of talks about the difficulty maybe 15 years ago (I think at SXSW among other places). [1] And it really hasn't gotten any better.

I thought I had a good handle on my kids' online activity until COVID hit and suddenly they were home 24/7 for a long time. In order to keep working, I had to give up on a lot of limits on screen time in order to retain my sanity. The rules we have settled on is that they can't use devices until at least 3 or 4pm. This manages to limit their screen time considerably and forces them to use their brains for most of the day.

I installed Qustodio on their computers and made sure that everything on their is set with an age limit (including their windows account, youtube, and chrome account). You'd be surprised how much support there is now for limiting content for your kids.

I also strongly discourage them from watching youtube videos and prefer them to actually play video games.
Why would I write that here?

xupybd 5 hours ago: Why do we need SSL for =>static blogs.<=
Not to mention magazines and radio. There were many more than three options.

Which raises the related question: how many do we need? For a while our assumption was "the more the better," but as it turns out there seems to be a limited number of good journalists in the world, and making them compete with an infinite number of bad ones has resulted in a race to the bottom.
Re: maps. Eh. Some people tend to romanticize the pre-GPS era with stories of serendipitous adventures, but that doesn’t match my experience at all. My recollection is that wandering around lost was time-wasting, frustrating, and sometimes downright scary. I’m not sure I can recall a single positive unexpected experience that resulted. I don’t miss it one bit. If the price is that I sometimes ask for directions to a place I’ve been before, I’ll take the trade.
Tree Style Tabs solved the tab grouping problem for me. I like to put it on the right and I'm looking for a way to have the tab bar hidden.

Tab search exists: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-open-tabs-firefo..., also you type % into the address bar to start searching over tabs. Not sure if this covers your needs, though.
I very much doubt that it cant be done right. I am not talking about "sleep 5; search random"
“The time is coming when no one will be ready to submit himself to the ennobling discipline of learning music,” he wrote. “Everyone will have their ready made or ready pirated music in their cupboards.” Something is irretrievably lost when we are no longer in the presence of bodies making music, Sousa said. “The nightingale’s song is delightful because the nightingale herself gives it forth.”

Sounds like it, but I'm not sure why they would run it for so long.
If an intruder breaks into your home, (seemingly easily) overpowers you, and begins doing horrible things to your wife and wife's son, would you still have such a negative opinion about guns?
I guess at some point it looked like all content was just going to be sent to Netflix, like a giant modern Blockbuster. Every movie that was no longer in cinemas, every niche classic from times gone by.

It might have been a great business, if the owners of those movies had been happy to just get a small fee from Netflix.

Unfortunately that's not how it turned out, for instance Disney decided they could both make their own tech and their own content, esp for such things like Mandalorian which takes a modern long-story format that is suitable for streaming. Basically it turns out content is king, which Netflix also realized as they went and tried to make their own stuff with limited success.

What I don't get is why it's so hard to make the content. They've certainly thrown a lot of money at it, how come nothing sticks? By contrast everything Disney makes seems to be high quality.
Has anyone thought of this in relation with age demographics?

Declining birth rates in developed countries => shrinking share of younger people => most of the demand is created by older people with lower neuroplasticity => older music stars are more popular
> It seems impossible—after all, billions of dollars are spent every year by entertainment corporations in their quest for market dominance. Yet, despite this constant spending spree, almost every week brings a new sign of cultural stagnation.

The author fundamentally misunderstands how business works, I think. Lots of money up for grabs in a highly competitive market equals hardcore conservatism from investors (the labels in this case). They will heavily bet on artists following a "winning formula", and buy up the independents that invent new winning formulas. You see the same exact behavior in every creative industry, because the money is relying on past performance to predict success.
The fact that Google collects information that can be subpoenaed is NOT the top risk here. Not even close.

It is the fact that if you search for anything abortion related, the top search results are dominated by fake abortion clinics. Who far outnumber real ones. A woman won't know that it is fake until after she has provided them with all of the information that she shouldn't have. And since they AREN'T licensed medical facilities, they have no requirement to keep her data private. For example in Texas they can immediately turn her information over to law enforcement to collect the reward for turning in someone who is trying to get an abortion.

If Google can figure out which clinics are fake and get them off their site (including not letting them advertise), that would do a LOT to help.
This might be an overreaction, but for me it's kind of the end of Netflix as a tech company.

For years, Netflix stock has been growing, Netflix has been hiring great software engineers, and people considered them a tech company. But the tech there is not a differentiator. I don't know anyone who will choose Netflix over Disney+ or HBO because of better tech. My brother hates the HBO app, but he uses it because it has content he likes to watch.

Streaming still provides technical challenges, and people will praise providers for great UX, high quality video etc. but in this case, very clearly content is the king. Netflix has had a few years to catch up with competitors who have decades worth of content. It wasn't a lot of time, and they did what they could, but it seems this time is over now. Netflix is no longer the sole player, it's one of a few competitors.
Changes take time, and there are massive opportunity costs to moving your supply chain base elsewhere. If other countries can do manufacturing equally well (same quality, cost, legal environment, etc), but you already have your base fully established in China serving your entire global operations, moving to the another country gives you no benefits, and you face the risk of severe disruptions to your operations if anything goes wrong.

So the world will only move out of China if other countries like India can offer significantly lower cost at same quality, which they haven't been able to do, or if there are significant geopolitical risks to staying, which seems likelier by the day.
Netflix works fine, they make plenty of profit. The problem is the endless growth requirement (be it from IP owners, share owners, or other stakeholders). It's unrealistic and Netflix could just coast along as-is with very few issues. But they don't want that, they want growth and ever increasing counts in subscribers, content and money.
You mention many of the ideals valued in contemporary society, especially by people who identify as liberal/progressive-and you seem to think they are “ideals of Christ”-but how likely do you think it really is that a 1st century CE founder of a Jewish apocalyptic sect would have actually agreed with those contemporary ideals? Even if you are convinced that they are entailed by his (reputed) teachings - how likely would he have been to agree with that entailment if it had been presented to him? And do you approach any other pre-modern religious leader in the same way?
> It's sad that despite all the warnings, people are so myopic and apathetic that it takes something this big and obvious to make them react.

I took years before I realized Google was spying on me and following me around on different sites. I did get no warnings, until I realized what they were doing and visited sites that warned about it.

It is just in the recent years "big tech" spying is a thing in the mainstream after like a decade of free reign. An ordinary person received warnings like 15 years after they made their Gmail or Facebook account.
An author doesn't get to choose what the website of the publisher does. It's not like this is the author's personal website that they have decided to put all of these trackers on it. This is a voice crying from within the system about how bad the system is. Is there a lot of cognitive dissonance in understanding how web publishing works?
>In my view a good chunk of manufacturing needs to return to allied nations

I'm pretty sure this idea has now dawned on western elites, although probably 5-7 years too late.

It takes decades to build up an industrial base from nothing. It's not even the literal presence of factories it's the skills base and the network of relationships and trust that enables a machine like shenzhen to run.

We can certainly build it quicker than it took China (3 decades) but probably not quick enough to be ready for the next world war.
If Warner Music built an app thar only plays music in their own catalogue, I would pay 0 dollars for that.
Traditionally, at publications of repute, the advertising and journalism departments were entirely segregated from one another. This gives the appearance of independence, rather than being influenced by an advertiser. I expect that, especially since the skill sets are rather orthogonal, that kind of segregation still happens today on web publications.
After your comment I fixed and cleaned up the prototype of the phoneme selection page I made. It's available here: https://github.com/titanix/p3
Sony and UMG are both fairly large shareholders in Spotify.
Trump and Biden will be 81 and 78 respectively if they choose to run again in 2024 (and assuming they are alive to do so). The average age of congress is the oldest it has ever been. The wealth disparity between those over 54 compared to those under is the highest it has ever been.

This fact pattern is visible in many places.
> Would you rather be Mansa Musa or someone of median wealth and income in say New Zealand in the 21st century?

This is probably a more interesting quest than you suspect. It turns on your preferences around material comforts vs. you love of control and power.
While the methodology may be flawed, the point remains that we’re in an epidemic of artistic risk mitigation, where pre-sold franchises (sequels, reboots and remakes) combined with name brand artists are gobbling up an inordinate amount of attention that could be fueling new art and artists.
This was one of the reasons I left online publishing.

When I did my internship in an ad agency the first thing I was told was to install an adblocker. Talking about hypocrisy.
In fairness, the person writing the article doesn't really have a say in the infra that the publisher is using. I agree that doesn't make the hypocrisy magically disappear, but it shouldn't detract from the points being made about the platforms we use to access the web.
>EDIT: How do I break sentences to newline in HN without really making a new paragraph? You know, for bullet points, etc.

Blank line / new paragraph is really the only option. Short bullet points might look better with the "code" option of preceding with two spaces, like:

- this
- that

But long lines in that format force horizontal scrolling for some mobile users.

sigh. The Supreme Court was never intended to be as polarized and partisan as it is today. The framer's thinking on lifetime judicial appointments was that it would give them independence from politics, never needing to be concerned about elections.

If you look at the history of votes on Supreme Court nominees, the hyper-partisan divide, splitting along party lines, is an anomaly. We're in a new era. The last 4 nominees[1] just barely squeaked by, while historically, nominees usually got 60, 70, even 80+ votes in the Senate. What we are seeing now is very, very different. It used to actually be based on qualifications, and now it's 100% ideological and politics.

A party "controlling" the Supreme court. What a crappy reality we are in now.

edit: [1] I should say 5 nominees, because Garland didn't even get a vote for an entire year because the Senate majority quashed it in order for the next President to nominate someone else. Blatant theft of a constitutionally-enumerated power allotted to the President, if you ask me.
Seconding YouTube.
Ohhh it's out there... I'm not sure "when" dubstep was created, but it's starting to spawn new explorations. Take Clown Core, kind of a dubstep/metal/jazz/comedy fusion... thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT7x1NvGf5k Before you write it off entirely (I don't blame you), take a second to notice the synchronization around 0:55.
All IDEs and editors I use support MRU order.

IE also had/has MRU tabs.
It should be noted that the op-amps don't perform the multiplication directly, they can only do scaled/weighted addition or subtraction.

It should also be noted that this circuit can only operate on positive signals. A full four quadrant multiplier circuit, where both inputs can be positive or negative, is more complex AFAIK.
I don’t understand what is so surprising about this. The world has been producing high-quality music for decades. The catalog of old music will always grow in size relative to the catalog of new music. Were we expecting the dominance of old music to decline for no reason?
The more articles I read about the effects of social media in mental health the more I agree with an approach like this.

I think social media can be very dangerous specially because of its pushy, 'not looking harmful at first' and ostracizing nature towards those who aren't on X or Y which is the perfect bait for younger demographics. Just like when you're trying to stop drinking but it's morally acceptable for friends to insist you go drinking.

I'm a late night doom scroller myself and I need to become more disciplined..
Indeed, and if things had turned out that way I would've happily kept my subscription and paid for such content to watch it legally.

Instead they fragmented, and there is no way that I will be figuring out which of the dozen subscriptions I need any time I want to watch something, and I know I am not alone here.

Piracy is king once again. It has all the content, and none of the bullshit.
> That's on Planned Parenthood.

Only in part. Ultimately it's the browser that's sharing the data from PP to FB. It's not like PP is making a direct connection from their backend to FB's backend. It's Chrome that's connecting to FB.

Apple has demonstrated with Safari that browsers can fight this tracking if they want to. Google has no interest in doing so because their browser doesn't work for the user. It works for the likes of Google, FB, and yes, PP.
Who is they? What smart people?
I think you'll also find a sentiment going back decades that "today's music sucks" or "today's popular music sucks." That said, there's certainly a lot of fragmentation even if there's still a big pop culture head too. In TV certainly an HBO or Netflix hit has nothing like the reach of a network hit a couple decades ago. And, of course, watching is less synchronous too.
> That's on Planned Parenthood.

This is really an important point. The owner of a website or app has to comply with regulations, and HIPAA should apply to people seeking medical care, especially those seeking care that is politically or otherwise sensitive. This is literally what HIPAA was trying to prevent: disclosure of medical info to third parties without direct consent of the patient. A click should not be enough to consent.

Third party tags have no place in the DOM on these sites.

Have you heard of live coding? Writing code in front of a live audience that plays music? I doubt anything like that has been done before the last couple of decades. I don't know the history, maybe people dabbled with it way back when, but it's an actual thing now. I hope it really catches on!
