How silly: using last century's centralised, radio-based, publisher-controlled popularity index to measure anything after the widespread adoption of the internet. Nobody cares about the top 100 anymore because there are too many possible source to run into any songs that'll get listened to enough to form a generic top 100.

Music has both specialised and generified over the years. The "pop" numbers are all the same, as they have been for the last 70 or 80 years now. Pop music isn't produced out of a desire to make art, it's produced to sell as many copies to as many people in as many countries as possible. Engineered lyrics are exchanged between agencies and used and reused until an artist makes a breakthrough. It's brute forcing culture to make a profit.

That's not a recent thing either. Listen to older songs and you'll find that a lot of it is safe, generic, uninteresting stuff, even from the big bands. We've filtered down about 100 years of music to the stuff that's considered good, but back in the day there was a lot of crap that was in the top of the charts for a single year and then disappeared.

Today, we have a choice. For pennies we can listen to any type of music by bands we've never heard of all day long. Good luck finding a Mongolian throat singing metal band in 1980 if that's the music you're interested in. Good luck finding anything made by someone who's in it for the art if you're in a small town with a small record shop before the internet came along.

The top 100 is no longer centralised by publishers advertising to radio stations. They're still trying, desperately even, to keep this business model going, but by these measurements, it's just not working. You can say that "people don't know how to make music anymore" but you'll have to back this up with actual statistics, not some useless measurement of corporately engineered preferences. Count the total amount of songs you can get your hands on instead. I wouldn't be surprised to find that more music gets added to Spotify in a month than got made available in an 80s record store over an entire year!

And you know what? I don't see the problem with liking older music. We've got almost a century of crisply recorded music available to us right now. You can find enough music to develop and expand your musical preference for a lifetime even if no new music gets published ever again. People will always make music and these days that involves more remixing and more derived work, not because we don't know how to do it, but because we have the tools available to us.
> Such a attack would immediately end up with the relevant CA being removed from the certificate stores across popular browsers/OS, quite detrimental to the business who owns them.

Absolutely, but when I look at the list of CAs (~70) that are preloaded in browsers:

* Most of them are unknown to most people => How to know if there is no malevolent CAs?

* A relevant number are from countries that are not so free. => What power has a SME like Firefox against let's say Turkey, Hungary or China states?
90% is quite a lot, but I'm all for treating it as income.

As a hiring manager across all departments at a US tech company (fully remote), the biggest challenge creating a diverse team is a lack of candidates from diverse background/ethnicities/etc.

We’re able to balance male/female across most departments without overtly favoring one gender over another, but for some reason it’s different for engineering roles. 95%+ of applicants are male, and an overwhelming majority are white.

We try to do things like post and advertise jobs on minority-targeted job boards, but still, it’s very difficult to find minority applicants.

Aside from lowering our hiring standards for minorities, I’m not sure what else we could be doing better.

Edit: just to clarify I’m not trying to undermine your concern, just raising that it’s possible the problem has to do with the candidate pipeline rather than overt discrimination. Your specific case may be different, of course. Building a diverse team is very difficult even when it’s made a priority.
The "new" numbers? This is new? Wat?

Yes, many people would probably like a little more experimental music in the public sphere, no, we probably won't get that, but also this is sort of established knowledge. It would have been nice if the author spent less time talking about the trend and more time on their suggested next steps. Or, doing better data analysis than 'the number of times "old" is in movie titles went up'.

Sooking about a supposed societal collapse correlated with bad music is annoying, questionable in a statistical sense, and unhelpful in a practical sense.

Criminalizing sex work hurts women. It forces them to operate without protection, without regulation, and under threat of criminal prosecution.

So yes, it's very much a women's rights issue, as legalizing and regulating the industry would allow women who are interested in the work to do so with protections and without fear of jail time. They can operate with relative security.
Note that the article focuses on online dating, and largely on data from Tinder. The bases are not necessarily the same for people who meet through acquaintances/work/church (small minority in the US today, but it still happens)/etc., for users reading the comments before possibly the submission.
I spent 20 years talking to friends and familly around me, and they don't care. They won't even try Firefox if they are used to chrome. Not even that small effort.

We had the US mass spying revealed in the press, with the PRISM program exposed. The public mostly carried on as usual.

Snowden got persecuted, giving the issue a lot of publicity. He wrote a very good book explaning why surveillance is dangerous. Again, most people didn't flinch.

A lot of people on HN reported trying to talk to people and get blank stares. "I have nothing to hide". "I don't care if people are collecting my data".

This is not just a failure in regulation: people don't give priority to problem that are not a pain right now. It's too abstract. Not to mention they have other problems that are a pain right now, and are armed with limited time, resources and knowledge.

Same problem with climate change. Their life is fine now. They can't care about the impact of their consumption in x year when they have to think about a loan, their health, the kids getting in trouble at school, their boss being pushy lately and the lattest form they have to fill.

There is also the cost of trying to avoid tracking product at the individual level.

I won't use Apple since it's locked down. So I use android. But I can't sign in into a google account or it will track everything. So I can't use the app store and many app won't work.

I can't use the best app provider like gmap and waze, have to sandbox youtube which mean it's mostly suggesting terrible content as it assumes I'm the average human.

I have a collections of extensions on web browser and several Firefox containers to isolate everything. Something I spent a lot of time to learn, master and configure.

I use Linux because Windows is tracking you, and MacOS is a golden cage. So I can't buy the best laptop CPU out there, which is the M2, and have terrible battery life.

My friends harassed me to have a FB account. Then an insta account. Then a whatsapp account. So I have to accept to miss out on things, and their nagging about it for every communication.

Now I am willing to accept all that because I think there are things more important in life than being part of a group chat or having the latest trendy thing.

But it's a hard sell for a many, espacially since, once again, "their life is fine right now".
this has been my experience. i even prefer some parts of the firefox ui. but for the reasons you mention, the net result is that then i have to run two browsers which means twice the work, complexity and risk.

i hate this. i really want firefox to succeed and i really appreciate their stated goals with respect to privacy, and their significant contributions to the internet commons.
In Winston-Salem, NC, the tobacco company had its own coal power plant (with train line running through). It’s a chocolate shop, pizzeria, and brewery, with a very large patio now. The “RJR Tob. Co” smokestack is lit up with RGB LEDs.
nope. that was around before I got this name.
Which ironically contain music. Often it's TikTok specific remixes of famous older songs. But does that mean that culture still revolves around music?
Or emissions (methane?). Iirc, sheep have the most emissions per pound.
It may be in the manual, or on a sticker on the system (along with electrical information (voltages, currents)).

> An increasingly important environmental concern is the disposal of old refrigerators—initially because freon coolant damages the ozone layer—but as older generation refrigerators wear out, the destruction of CFC-bearing insulation also causes concern. Modern refrigerators usually use a refrigerant called HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane), which does not deplete the ozone layer, unlike Freon. R-134a is becoming much rarer in Europe. Newer refrigerants are being used instead. The main refrigerant now used is R-600a, or isobutane which has a smaller effect on the atmosphere if released.

I was also going to recommend Sidebery - I switched to it from TST a while back and I've been very impressed with it.
Just eat fewer times a day. I usually eat one meal a day (though often not quickly, like the OP would like) and it works out great.
To be logical is illogical if you are a human. Obsessive adherence to high ideals without the basic recognition that we inhabit bodies with needs desires and limitations is not logical or superior behavior: It ignores reality and causes psychological trauma, with real consequences to health and happiness.
One-time download telemetry is a pretty minor reason to choose an entirely different browser
This might be entirely missing the point, but doesn't simply the production of new music, assuming it has any listeners at all, dilute the listenership of old music?

If there's new music released in year N, and it has some share of the listenership, all music from 0->N-1 will have decreased listenership. Right?
Meanwhile Putin watches as tens thousands of Russians and Ukrainians die for his notions of what he deserves to control. Not concerning at all…
Depending on the styles inside of that style tag it can be faster because of lack of separate http request to fetch it.
Maybe, but I think two things contraindicate that.

1. The first is a difference in degree. Millionaires (even in 1990s) money do not necessarily have cultural access to the kind of elite circles discussed in the article. Now, you might be right--I'm not going to no-true-scotsman the entire claim, as I have no way of deriving a particular asset value that makes access likely--but it does seem unlikely to me that "millionaire" has substantial overlap with the multiple-vacation-homes types of people attending the gathering in the article. Similarly, mobility fluctuates; the '90s were a time of both elevated economic prosperity and elevated opportunities to transition upward in economic class. Now not so much.

2. I think we can refute the statistical claim, that mobility is less scarce than I stated. That one we can verify with data--as others in this thread have pointed out, anecdotes are insufficient. Numerous analyses indicate that "upward mobility" (which, fair enough, is often a flawed measure) has decreased or remained stagnant since the '70s. Additionally, elite classes have widened the asset-value gap that needs to be crossed by someone looking to join those classes via wealth alone.

In short: zip to millionaire might not be relevant to the claim; even if so, it happens less frequently (per capita if not absolutely) now; when it does happen it is less likely to imbue the kind of cultural status/class change that I mentioned due to the increased economic "distance" that the people in that status/class have accumulated in the last decades.
I can't help but to wonder why that is. Why couldn't chatbots and such (I guess bots that would make comments in some thread) just constantly remember everything that was said previously?
Inline CSS has the benefit of not making a second HTTP request, as well as (if I recall correctly) rendering the page styled from the get go, as opposed to once unstyled and once again when the CSS has finished downloading.

I think crypto in general is disastrous for our environment right now, and has offered none of the self-control finance benefits it promised due to ever more regulation (the EU is soon planning to ban private wallets, you can only legally host money on exchanges then, which basically means we're full circle to the old banking system). All this has been precipitated by the frantic speculators looking for a quick buck. Bitcoin wasn't invented to enable money-hoarding investors, it was designed to undermine the old banking system and give us back full control over our money. This aspect has been completely undermined by regulation now.

But BAT is a different beast as it doesn't use mining. So my concern is not the same as for general crypto schemes.

It's the BAT idea in particular that I don't like though. It's just a new, more indirect, payment scheme for advertisers. I just want the advertising industry to die and get out from between the content creators and consumers. I know this is not a realistic viewpoint but I'm not willing to contribute to it. Brave solves the privacy problem to some extent but not the ad problem. And in a way they even promote ads by paying users to view them.

Brave seems to be looking to make the current system more palatable (and of course become the gatekeeper for this new tech which would be priceless if it ever took off). I've long given up on the ad system completely. I already pay for the sites I like and use a lot (at least where they offer this option) but I don't make any exception for adblocking ever. Even when they're non-tracked.

I used to do this too, then I got a bookmark save service (Pocket). Now whenever I see something that I have the reaction of keeping the tab around, I just save it and close it instead. Makes browsing lighter. I do still have around 20 tabs open normally, mostly things that don't fit in the "bookmark save" workflow, but definitely better than the 100+ tabs it used to be before.

My guess is that they tried to keep advantage as long as possible to remain number 1 in streaming, so they didn't want to give their leverage to competitors.

Their advantage was licensing (Marvel, Friends, The Office etc.) and tech. In both cases eventually competitors caught up - they launched their own platforms, and licensing contracts expired. That gave Netflix a few years more to develop their own content, but now it's over.
Perhaps, though I thought the net benefit of newer http protocols was to make that second request very lightweight. Then it's also cached if they visit a second page on the blog.
"without severely limiting these freedoms" - I think that they will be devalued automatically by collective, which will lead to the stagnation and demise of that society.

It depends on what you mean for 'old'. At the beginning of 90s even 16MBytes were pretty a luxury.

I know in the states, at least, pausing your job to pray could easily get you fired. Is it against the law of the land to fire someone for their religious beliefs? Probably. Do shitty workplaces do it anyways? Almost certainly. If they even hire you in the first place.

Wow. Five cases of excessive yawning correlated with vaccine administration. Out of millions of doses administered.

We should totally pause on the rollout of the vaccine, while we do a proper risk assessment on that.

Because on the one hand, we have the risk that unchecked spread of the disease will lead to more dangerous mutations and we could be faced with a complete collapse of healthcare capacity as it is overwhelmed by severe cases.

And on the other, a handful of people might yawn a lot.

In fact that risk balance is too tricky to be left up to the experts. Individuals should do their own personal risk assessment, based on how annoying they find it to yawn, versus how much hospital capacity they assume is available in their region.

No wonder we’re still in this damn pandemic.
I'd guess like most people, my greatest period of music discovery was in my teens and 20's. Listening to music with friends, we'd share new discoveries, hoping to win over a new fan.

Music stores were great, too. Putting on the gross headphones at Tower Records and sampling the latest releases, let me find new bands without risking my limited teen cash supply.

Even better, I could go across the street from Tower and pick the brains of the people at the punk/metal shop, or convince them to play something that Tower would never stock. The people there always had a better understanding of your tastes, far better than a genre listing.

The most fruitful source of new music was going out to see shows. Going to a show to see one or two bands at any given show, there was a good chance I'd come away a fan of one of the openers.

Yet another tab management (YATM) recommendation here. I use the OneTab extension to help me manage tabs. In a recent update, they added the ability to:

A) name tab groups;

B) lock specific groups which mimics the capability of bookmark folders (clicking a link doesn’t remove it from the group).

The extension has helped me reduce the number of open windows on my laptop, among other productivity improvements.
I think a critical point to is that |0 forces integer arithmetic, beyond just ensuring that integer arithmetic is used to do the calculation. E.g. (1/2) |0 gives a very different result than (1/2), so using |0 ensures that integer arithmetic is used even if you don't know what the operands are.

plus, it would make sense to try to repeat this a few times always trying to 80-20 it. (I mean intentionally trying to "half-ass" the next iteration. spend less on it than on the previous one, and try to get the best out of that budget - with the same tech of course.)

the big problem is that ... it doesn't make much sense to do this. JWST delivers the data for the science it was intended and ... for the new questions that we'll raise we'll probably need some even more specialized observatory.
