It would not be as high level, at least initially. It's more querying for distinct layers of a song to compile together.

The tools are intended to be an interaction between the artist and the computer to form a feedback loop similar to what is found when you are able to play an instrument, but more accessible. The idea is that everyone knows what sounds good to them when they hear it, but very few comparatively are currently able to make what sounds good. In the same way that dalle aims to empower everyone to make digital art, neptunely aims to empower everyone to make music.
What best (and biggest) alternatives to Patreon are?
Yep, that's what I said to those who found my movie stupid.

Atlantic has sadly become the type of neoliberalism fanboy that even after decades of pushback from American public hasn’t got the message seemingly.

America isn’t self obsessed, the elites running America in its current state in the form of kleptocracy using nation state apparatus such as CIA and FBI and the “free” media is self obsessed and do anything and everything to preserve its own interest at the expense of the mass. Be it taxpayers bailing them out in 2008 or maintaining ugly PACs undermining democracy, or maintaining status quo with inflow cheap labor and outflow of jobs, or fighting pointless wars and aiding coups on behalf of defense and oil industry interests.

We don’t need lectures from Bush fanboys.
Thank you ffs
2/2 between Patreon and Twilio for CEO's 'taking responsibility', whatever that means, while their lives don't change materially at all.
That's a depressing statement about Argentina and Bitcoin. I would be much more interested if Bitcoin were useful for legal transactions in countries with stable currencies and banking.

Bitcoin enthusiasts can be so anti-government that they seem to think ever government will turn into a basket case like Argentina. Perhaps every government gets into trouble eventually. But you could wait a couple lifetimes for it in some countries.
If this was an ordinary layoff announcement that made no mention of race, then we would have no idea whether it did or didn't have a tangible impact.

The fact that the CEO decided to deliberately mention race and acknowledged that layoffs were performed through a racial lens? That's a pretty good indicator to me that a racial lens was used.

Investors in high-growth companies like to see rapidly expanding headcounts.

And when you're growing fast there's a real impetus to fill seats FAST and there's not much discipline around making sure you're hiring well. So you end up having to collect more people than you need because not all of them are well suited to their roles and you've got a lot of new projects that everyone isn't fully spun up on so there's always a surprising proportion of people who are being spun up or wound down on random projects all the time without directly committing any code. Companies that grow like this tend to end up with a lot of dead weight and bad business processes that spontaneously appear to shift that dead weight around to where they don't drag things down.
Unless there's a specific reason for using this printer the unit itself is worth far less than 49EUR. There are used models that can be had for cheap with full Linux support.

Now writing or reversing a Linux driver for the printer though can be a fun project but I personally wouldn't buy this driver just so I can use the printer.
I'm pretty sure this article is proving nothing and it's pretty much zero cost to make whatever allegations one chooses anonymously via Glassdoor.

The alternate explanation of "grumpy ex-employee trying to make trouble for their former employer because even if the allegations are untrue, having the feds tromp around in your private data is a bad day for everyone involved" is hard to discount here.
I guess you'll have to put me in the camp of unable to distinguish. There is always an "emergency" reason to print money.
You are assuming it is popular, and not that only a few vocal people are talking about it. Remember the HN community is large.

I use VSCode for most things, haven't tried the Jetbrains stuff much, besides in an interview where it worked "well enough".

In some countries, like at least Norway, you sign these loans with what is called BankID - it is essentially used for all kinds of e-signing, it's probably the most used 2FA tool here. Probably other Scandinavian countries too.

But back to my point - if you for whatever reason get compromised to such a degree that other people can sign off things with your BankID, you're basically completely fucked. At least for probably 99.99% of the cases.

This is because the law recognizes that sign-off as if you did it. And if some other did it, you've breached the ToS - which more or less states that you, and you only, can know the password, and it is your responsibility that said password is hidden / unavailable to others. Your signature and confirmation, your loan.

The most common victims of these cases are spouses and close family members.

But again, these things do differ from country to country.
I've never been called a british subject to my knowledge. Googling has "Until 1949, nearly everyone with a close connection to the United Kingdom was called a ‘British subject’".."Since 1983, very few people have qualified as British subjects."

The god save the queen stuff is kind of traditional and doesn't mean much. "God save the queen
/ The fascist regime..." (Sex Pistols) is also kind of traditional and quite popular. No one forces you to sing either but the Pistols did much better in the charts.

A lot of non UK folk seem to have some strange ideas about how it works here. The royals haven't had much power for centuries.

At least we get a figurehead who is generally popular vs say electing a Trump/Clinton and having half the population hate them until they get ejected for someone the other half hates.
This sucks because YouTube is basically part of the culture. When people send vids at work, it's YouTube. When teachers share clips with students, it's YouTube. Most embedded videos on the web are YouTube. Now, all of that, will play 5-10 ads?

To me (someone from a former socialist country), both hiring and firing, based on race, seems very very racist.

Replace all the groups with "white men", and if it seems racist then, well, it's also racist when it's any other group except "white men".
The people being laid off likely grew up in America 25-40 years ago. Modern policies are not relevant to the people I'm talking about (though obviously still a very interesting and important discussion).
Yes, quite an interesting magic trick that has been performed by people from certain political persuasions about how they now make everything about race, yet claim while patting us minorities on the head about how "they're not racist". It's barking mad.
Which example are you looking at? Perhaps you included the "Shared with" amounts to the total, which is actually what a project pays it's dependencies.

Currently there isn't a way to change the weights. For projects like DefinitelyTyped, react, etc, they will have the option to either not claim funds and their allocations will redistributed, or they can elect to have their allocations pass through straight to their dependencies instead.

Lastly there is always the option to create your own explicit set of dependencies you want to fund with a stackaid.json file in your repo

Problem is, at least in US, the idea of fighting child pornography has been weaponised by Christian child groomers - the purity balls and child marriages folks. So when someone displays similar pattern, like Patreon reportedly does, it's hard to ignore that similarity.
A broader question is why streaming services UX is so bad, universally?

One obvious example, is trailer auto-play that cannot be disabled, prevalent in nearly every streaming service I can think of.

Streaming services are extremely user-hostile. Best bet is to not use them. Torrents and Usenet are still a thing.
So at least in my case -

I have a couple of problems with outsourcing this kind of thing like that.

Namely - a private subreddit would work but comes with a LOT of downsides.

- Ads (this is pretty much a dealbreaker on it's own...)

- Signup

- Changing UI/UX

- Lack of control over uploads/content (who backs it up, when, how?)

- Lack of control over the general experience

The nice thing about custom software is that as long as the user count is low, and it's family that you trust, you can ditch a LOT of the pain points of online software.

ex: who needs signup/login when I can just embed a shared key?
People have realized this a long time ago. The expected configuration is a node-based network like the internet. Messages (money) hop from "router" to "router" until they reach their final destinations through the shortest paths. The "bank" would still be your bitcoin wallet, while your lightning allocation would be like a credit account with every vendor simultaneously. The nodes are routers. The amount you put "at-risk" in lighting only needs to be a minimum amount you need to transact for the day/week/month - and it is not really "at-risk" since there are strong protections built-in.

The general story is that not all transactions are equal. A payment from your cousin for a poker debt doesn't need the fury of a million computers protecting it. Similarly if you have an ongoing relationship with a vendor, and many other examples. In real-life there are vastly differing trust-profiles between transactions. It's ok to trade some security for some efficiency sometimes. It doesn't make sense to treat them all the same.
Spot checking for important projects is a good way of making sure those other 4 hierarchy levels are doing their job well.

A mentoring call with a Techstars company that was suffering from some typical bickering between sales and tech inspired me to write this, but the personal story inside it is my own, not theirs.
Making an assumption, so far I have only read the CNBC article.

Many of the recent tech layoffs included entire departments not entirely related to the operation of the business, the core product. For example: recruiting departments. When entire diversity departments were terminated, many considered the move racist. Perhaps Twilio found themselves in this scenario?
It should - but their cut is more typically 25%. You could also learn to do that networking yourself and save the commission. If you need work, get active in users groups for the tech you use. I've found several gigs that way.
If you did that, what's the advantage? Instead of loading an image file, it loads a font file, which seems a lot like an image file when used that way.
The families most in need of childcare services are not losing 40%+ of their income.

I think as a general rule all of the streaming services are spending most of their engineering time/budget on their apps for mobile and TV platforms rather than their websites. Presumably because that's where more people are watching. But also because there's a lot of platforms to cover with apps (iOS, Android, Roku, Tizen, PlayStation, Xbox, etc).

I certainly expect a gradient of quality from the web to the Xbox to iOS (increasing in that order) when I'm choosing which device to watch something on.
Why don't you try one of the CUPS, GutenPrint, etc. user mailing lists?

I haven't used Windows in years, it's a pretty bad point-of-reference for me. However, I can say pretty confidently that iOS, Android and Linux all have more reliable Bluetooth stacks than MacOS. In fact, the stack on Linux is so good that I don't lust for Airpods at all. I just turn on my Sony XM4s and it automatically connects to all my devices. No muss, no fuss.

Oh, and neither MacOS or iOS support high-bitrate audio playback. They're not even on the same eschelon as Android or Linux, which support codecs like LDAC and APTx, with 3x the bandwidth of Apple's 330kbps AAC stream. Come to think of it, if Apple switched to APTx for their newer Airpods, they would have no problem recording and playing audio back at the same time.
Been a while since I worked on security at Patreon, but I have had some insight to Trust & Safety and Legal teams at Patreon, these allegations sound like absolute junk. Patreon is also pushing back:

> > Even so, this scheme only makes a little sense. A better approach might have been for the government to have set up a USD-based remittance program of its own.

I agree with that. For example linking the U.S. banking system via ACH/Fedglobal with the El Salvador one as Panama and Mexico have done to bring down transactions costs.

https://www.frbservices.org/financial-services/ach/fedglobal

> This is just not true. Crypto as foreign remittance has been proven and is working quite well in Argentina.

But El Salvador is not Argentina though. El Salvador had never been affected by unstable currencies or unfavorable exchange rates set by their governments.

Bitcoin on the other hand, has been the first experience for Salvadorans, of having a currency that loses 50% of its value.

I'm just judging from their accents in Youtube videos, but part of the Salvadoran bitcoin wallet developers were from South American countries, so it seems to me that they were trying to solve a problem that existed in their countries, but not in El Salvador.

I think there are plenty of cases! Groups, especially. There are lots of local community groups where your real identity is useful. Like “I need a dog walker, any recommendations” or “anyone a math tutor?” Or “looking to buy a car”.
Crumple zones perform a very specific function in the sequence of airbag deployment (letting the sensors crash and bags deploy before the cabin starts decelerating). The speed window at which they will appreciably reduce the deceleration in the cabin is well below the speeds at which a seat-belted occupant of an airbag equipped vehicle has to worry about serious injury. Crumple zones are undeserving of the worship they get. If you want to worship something worship side curtain airbags. They save a lot more life and injury than crumple zones. Pre-tensioners are also another feature that I'd rather have than a crumple zone. As a general rule, features that directly keep the occupants from hitting things are far more beneficial to outcomes than stuff that acts upon the whole vehicle.

Secondly, it is perfectly possible to design cars that do not need tons of invasive repairs from minor fender benders. Revise bumper and front/rear cosmetic design to allow for effective bumpers (see also: the 1980s) and tune crumple zones to need higher forces to deform them so you don't have to potentially replace a whole car over a 10-15mph collision. The tradeoff here is that the speed range at which crumple zones do much would move up which is good for real world performance bad for scoring that perfect five stars in a low speed lab test that actually helps sell cars.

> better, more fair

Imagine being a white guy, just laid off... it's not better, it's not fair, it seems like pure racism (even if you'd get fired anyways), and in a normal country, would be a basis for a discrimination lawsuit.

The layoffs take time to plan and get rolling, but the macro causes are often similar.

Once they start you may have a bit of PR adjusting things but I daresay this announcement was planned weeks in advance. I could see a company deciding to lay off a bit less to make their percentage look a tiny bit better but other than that, probably not.

Now some companies may have "perpetual layoff plans" where every manager has to identify X people he'd lay off if needed, even if they never use it, then I could see someone taking advantage of it.
As others have already mentioned, you can keep considering yourself liberal in your living room. But if you go out on social media with these views, it could be construed as a rabid racist persona.
Have you ever done a 'View Source' on the HN comments page?
"Part of the calculus" is just a euphemism indicating that race was a criteria that was possibly the reason someone was layed off. Let's be honest shall we instead of trying to play mental gymnastics.

Imagine if the response to the Civil rights movement was "its okay stop complaining, race is just part of the calculus we use to determine who gets to go on the front of the bus, no one is forced to sit in the back because of race, it's just part of the calculus". No one would fall for that lame excuse to cover discrimination.

We're not falling for it

Iirc you don't need depression to fit diagnostic criteria of bipolar I. Just a manic episode will do it.

Depression will lead the sufferer to seek treatment. Mania and psychosis will make their life hell and possibly have them harm others, but they will think they are ok.

I think maybe you haven't been close to a particularly bad case of bipolar I. It can be very similar to schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia. People can hop around these diagnoses because they can be hard to pin down and professionals can disagree.

> it is usually the first indicator of BPD, leading to diagnosis, education, and treatment.

That's a fairly optimistic scenario. Spoken like someone who has not seen a loved one deny the illness and avoid treatment.

It's just so weird, though. If you honestly have that opinion, that means one of two things is true.

1. We shouldn't have CEOs, in which case most businesses today wouldn't exist. Using Apple as an example, it never would have released the products it did - not to say Steve or Tim are soldering iPhone components, that's clearly not what I mean. But you can't honestly believe that Jobs didn't play some role in directing Apple early on and instilling a certain culture (for better or worse). Maybe you think that employee-owned co-ops would produce things of higher value for lower cost, but that hasn't really been the cast so far in human history. Employee-owned companies exist and none of them are producing world-class products, and most of them still have CEOs.

2. You think we should have CEOs, maybe because they're a necessary evil or something, but you still want to bitch about it online, in which case ... :shrug:?

What's the third option?
