> Why are you even arguing this? There already exist two major competitors that are treating streaming music as just an insignificant portion of a multibillion dollar business - Amazon and Apple. Also to a lesser extent Google/YouTube.

Amazon, Apple, and Google (to their lesser extent due to YouTube) are also in the content licensing business... the same business Spotify is in. Are you saying that iTunes, or Amazon.com, is also a shitty business? I'm betting you aren't. If you are, I recommend looking at how much money Apple makes on iTunes: it is sufficient to have let them subsidize sales of the iPod.

The reason Spotify is in a bad place is because they have bad contracts for their core content (vs. Apple) and a lack of vision for how to change up their business model (maybe by having a feature similar to Amazon Prime / Hulu where you have to pay for add-on subscriptions for various artists), not because "music streaming is a feature": their business isn't "music streaming".

> Again, a successful business doesn’t depend on the long tail - that’s been debunked by every single market - app stores, music, movies, etc. the vast majority of money is made from hits.

I am not saying the vast majority of revenue comes from the long tail, I am saying having access to a large catalog matters and prevents even large companies from being able to just shut you off as I do believe that people--yes, actual people, like my customers--actually care about access to the long tail, even if it isn't most of their usage or where you book your revenue.

> You’re also failing to realize that Spotify’s issue of trying to be profitable just streaming music while its competitors can sell at cost to prop up other businesses.

They aren't, though! iTunes is profitable. It has tried (and succeeded!) to add Spotify as a feature, but Spotify can and should respond by adding track sales or artist-specific subscriptions as a feature. There are tons of things they could be doing--because their business is not music streaming: their business is content licensing--to become profitable. Why don't they at least have a built-in Patreon mechanism where people can pay arbitrarily more for their subscription and have it (after they take a cut) doled out to their streamed artists?! They are just dumb.

They certainly aren't Dropbox: Dropbox's entire business is just a technological feature and fundamentally continued to be a feature forever. There is no real reason to use their feature over someone else's implementation of that feature except code quality (and I have a queued article to write about how Dropbox is broken ;P). There absolutely is a moat that Spotify has here, and to ignore that is extremely strange. They may be squandering their ability to compete, but they aren't "just a feature". Being a dumb company that needs better leadership to establish a better business model is not the same as being a feature.
Honestly, I really am trying, but as far as I can see you are using the word "named" in a sense that allows most numbers to be called "0". I really can't see how your words make sense given any other definition. Is that correct?
> Arguably CA houses are better built than they used to be

This is inarguable. The aftermath of the major earthquakes of the past have had an very noticeable effect on building safety and the effect on damage done has been measurable. I can't imagine there aren't similar trends in other places for their own local natural disasters.
The "Might and Magic" and "Heroes of Might and Magic" games were a large part of my childhood. Personally, these games are the foundation to my understanding and expectations of anything in the fantasy genre.

I like Warhammer: Total War. However, I prefer the almost textbook archetypes/playable-civs in HOMM(1-3) over the dark and gritty palate of the Warhammer franchise. A new version of HOMM in the total war style would be amazing. Especially, if I had the option to doomstack Gremlins (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hxKjBeVvro8/hqdefault.jpg).

>Source? My impression was that alternatives were already being developed prior to widespread ban. A quick wikipedia search confirms this. The montreal protocol was signed in 1987 and came into effect in 1989, but by that time alternatives already existed.

The Montreal Protocol was signed in '87 but things had been underway since the 70s, including a partial ban on aerosols in in US in '78. DuPont saw the writing on the wall.

"In 1976 the United States National Academy of Sciences released a report concluding that the ozone depletion hypothesis was strongly supported by the scientific evidence. In response the United States, Canada and Norway banned the use of CFCs in aerosol spray cans in 1978."

I guess I'll worry about that in 20+ years.

I'll also assume you've never pulled the putty out of the old windows and had to redo them, because it is a lot of work.
I don't know what you're talking about, we built a wall and Mexico paid for it, remember?
Do you disable type checking too? It’s good to internalize things, but eventually you can internalize and delegate.
> talent pool of this other 90% of the world

I have hired a lot of people and for key hires above a certain level, existing tech hubs (SV, Seattle, NYC, Denver) account for a vast majority of the available candidate pool. There are a few other hubs beyond these (London, Singapore, Bangalore) but you are constraining yourself massively.

New grads / junior ICs is another story.
No you don't. You don't normally include opportunity cost on your balance sheet.
If you're writing a local stack of commits, you need to do an interactive rebase to edit the commits in the middle. You can't just check out and amend earlier commits in the stack, since git has a branch-first rather than commit-first model (one of its biggest UI failures).
I think you missed the “as we know it now” part.

How did the US southern border work in your memories? Would you be surprised to learn it was almost unrecognizable compared to what it is now?
They want all risk to be put on external factors, that way their business can make profit without any - a tale as old as time.
By your logic every single house in Florida (and those along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts that are in the path of possible hurricanes) that was built prior to 2002 (the year the building codes were changed in direct response to Hurricane Andrew in 1992) needs to be razed. I'm not sure that's really politically feasible...
Step one is to have Product/Sales define an SLO for support ticket resolution (and for all your key services, if you haven't already). Give more sprint time to whatever's falling behind.

If both are falling behind, you need to slow down the velocity of which you're demanding features be shipped, or loosen the SLOs, or hire more programmers.
So the statement "let x be an element of y" is already problematic?

If so, your problem is not with the axiom of choice.

Edit:
"Not being able to describe the choice a choice function makes" and "not being able to construct it" are really the same thing.
Unless the us is one of those citizenships which mandates filing. And I suspect that if you dodge tax residency by avoiding 180 days anywhere I figure you’re at risk to any border agent with a sore ass having a bad day.
> are you really going to divide a 2500 sqft McMansion into a duplex without an epic zoning fight? And then there's the transportation/parking issue.

Even in cities with little zoning requirements (like Houston, and heck, even Tokyo), you still see McMansions being built rather than low income housing. Low income housing is still old housing from the 80s/70s, and the problem you are referring to (that housing built today is not very convertible) is one for a sadder future.

> The real problem is that 1200 sqft entry level housing like it was built in the decade after WW2 isn't made any longer but is urgently needed.

Having shopped for homes in the last few years, there were plenty of 1200 SQFT options in the places I looked at, they were just $700-$800k rather than $900k-$1.1m. Condos are the more realistic options in that case (I saw one I liked for $700k with a reasonable HOA, my wife wasn't having it, however). She preferred a 900 SQF SFH over that, for reasons I couldn't figure out. All were still considered luxury however since they were almost brand new.

Note that yes, I live in an expensive area, but usually when we talk about affordable housing, we are talking about places where people want to live (vs. say Detroit).
If you're shedding active virus, you're infected with polio, even if it's an asymptomatic infection.
A felony also prevents you from doing a great many things, like finding any job or renting or most anything. We have built a society that punishes conviction for life, long after the punishment has been served. Add to that we’ve been making more and more misdemeanors felonies, we are producing a society of misery.

These people are just cruel and self serving. They are scoring points by being more and more radical and destroying lives in exchange. They are vile, and I consider their behavior more felonious than most felons.
Yep, software developer.

- I do most of my work from library/cafe-- usually 1-2 hours at home, 4-6 hours at cafe/library.

- I don't socialize much-- Occasionally chat with barista to get to know them. Or occasionally with other patrons.

- Nah, I've never had an issue with cafes letting me sit for hours and work-- I always buy coffee and/or food. If I didn't buy anything, I imagine it would eventually piss off the barista/manager/owner a bit. Sometimes I have too much coffee and get drowsy or jittery

- Nah, I don't miss the creature comfort of big desk & 27" screen-- I trade it for the opportunity to get out into social spaces. Otherwise I'd be lonely at home. If I am under pressure to get something done fast, sometimes it's easier at home. Currently my "home" is a studio apartment ($800/month, all bills paid except internet).

I think if I had roommates or lived in a more communal place (Such as housing coop) I'd be more interested in spending more time working from home. But since I am alone there, it feels too lonely.
If it didn't advance, that would cause trouble for some build systems. So yes, I'm assuming it does.
I don't work for fly, but I'll say that while the end-user of fly.io isn't expected to run an orchestration system, fly.io themselves runs an orchestration system (nomad from what I can tell), so it seems like a fairly reasonable idea for a take home evaluation for an infrastructure role at the company to evaluate skills/knowledge about orchestration systems.
ChatGPT improves over LaMDA in pretty-printing code and passing certain Turing-test-trick questions. It's an improvement not unlike a delivery bot that swaps packages recipients is an improvement over one that invents up non-existent recipients.

What makes ChatGPT interesting is that perhaps it could end up a freemium service, whereas Google might remain closer to ad-supported business model(s).
Bret Victor's vision was a major inspiration for my PhD research and thesis, mainly "Inventing on Principle" and "Ladder of Abstractions". The final concept and implementation that emerged is a sort-of "Interactive What-If-Machine" for 3D simulations -- however I'm afraid it's just another small step into the hopefully right direction:

Unfortunately it's in German, but there are many many illustrations and pictures, as well as some english quotes.

I am still amazed how some of Victor's very basic principles (e.e. "Show the data, show comparisons!", immediate feedback loops, ...) are always so essential/fruitful in generating amazing solutions to certain problems...

“seem to only manifest in models with extremely large numbers of parameters”

You can do the same with models trained on your laptop in a few seconds. The trick here is to let the model have attention to what is learned, and can also be used on images and other type of data.

The benefit of a lot of parameters is more related to training in parallel, faster and “remember” more from the data.
If you can get them into a shed or an outbuilding, that's 99.9% of the problem solved.

You can also enclose the printer. For example, the ender3 pro has a box bag that you can put the printer in. Solves the problem.

My custom printer has the activated carbon airfilter/fan. Its probably overboard, but I did have that in my workspace for a while, so it was worthwhile for the time. I have no good metric when the filters should be replaced... I don't know any way to monitor particulate load in a filter.
Ask HN: Why doesn't Archive.today work with Mozilla Pocket?

It's the composability that is the killer feature. Reproducibility is just a prerequisite to that.

It's kind of like Haskell. Composable programs is the sell. Purity is a means towards that.

Buoyancy is negligible, at least on 3 mm shorties. It's the added insulation from the cold that does the trick and makes open water swimming easier and more enjoyable. Why take that away from people?
Go tour some unincorporated land in the Southwest and you'll see how cheaply homes can be built. The problem is that once you're spread out enough to be able to do that, the resources required for daily living have gone up significantly because they're no longer amortized over population density and time. And surburbs/ruralish areas are just in the middle of that gradient.

Building a bunch of housing in the middle of nowhere for unhoused people isn't going to work unless you also provide them heating, utilities, transportation, etc. The least expensive way of doing that is to make it dense like a city. At which point you're just building a planned city for indigent people, which is not particularly in the purview of the US on a few axes.
I don't feel bad about extensively using these rewards cards. If you are a net recipient in this distribution, your participation doesn't directly correlate with any higher participation by any of the victim groups. We simply make it more costly for the bank -- if anything, discouraging them from issuing such cards.

However I do withhold recommending these cards to others because they only make sense for people who don't carry debt or spend recklessly, and I usually cannot be certain that others meet those criteria.
I think this already makes too many assumptions.

Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to read, write, do math, learn the basic geography of the world, to learn sports, possibly learn music, maybe learn how to manage money, learn to use tools, program computers, and so much more.

What priorities are the highest? Should learning math be at the top? Should kids still learn cursive? Does memorizing spelling matter now?

The vision statement says that being civically engaged around diversity and inclusion sits above those other things. People chase after visions.

A lot of people don't agree on this. Even those in the middle.
Yeah that did cross my mind. I wonder if it really blocks it at the same level that you're talking about.
When i read the article i expected something like that to be the reason. Some paper pusher writing down rule books to follow. Then someone else who hasn't gotten his hands dirty in his life writes a report the workers are to blame for bad productivity.

About NixOS, there's something really basic that I cannot seem to grasp.
I had already installed many linux distro's with time, after the years I was really found on KDE and ZFS.

I've stumbled upon this tutorial with great interests and yet I can't start to see what is the expected install workflow.
Are you expected to write your nix config file booting on the live medium, how could you easily transfer this config file to your install medium.

As much as I understand that targeting the right ZFS dataset and so should not be included in box and I was still happy to find some mention of it in the official doc.
I don't understand this mix of an all seeing doc, spanning across many technologies and configurations set and yet what I could call the context is rather absent.
I think the lack of vertical integration could be a part of it. For example the framers don't have much incentive to make things easier for the plumbers or electricians.

There was a recent HN post on a shortage of electricians that got me to thinking why studs, which already come pre-cut to exactly 92 5/8", don't also come pre-drilled for wiring at outlet and switch height (at least I've never seen that in wood studs).

> OUD [Opioid Use Disorder] is a chronic disorder that even with maintenance therapy has relapse rates approaching 90% largely due to poor medication compliance with current agents [17,18]. Immunotherapy using vaccines can reduce this compliance problem by requiring less frequent administration. Vaccine immunotherapy targets small molecule antigens such as opioid compounds consisting of the antigen (hapten) linked to an immunogenic carrier protein that stimulates the immune system to generate antibodies. An adjuvant is often added to the formulation to increase immunogenicity (antibody formation) against the hapten. After vaccination, when an opioid is consumed, antibodies bind to the target opioid in the periphery and prevent it from getting into the brain or affecting other organs. The kidneys subsequently eliminate bound drug from the body. Numerous pre-clinical studies targeting a broad range of opioids have demonstrated vaccine efficacy [16,19,20,21,22].

> Recent studies testing various formulations of anti-FEN vaccines show efficacy in attenuating the behavioral and lethal effects of FEN and its derivatives [23,24,25] including findings from our group [26]. Our vaccine formulation is composed of a FEN-like hapten containing a linker with a carboxyl moiety suitable for carbodiimide coupling chemistry to form amide bonds to lysine residues on the carrier protein CRM197, a genetically deactivated diphtheria toxin contained in several FDA-approved conjugate vaccines. We combined our conjugate (FEN-CRM) with an adjuvant derived from heat-labile enterotoxins from E. coli (LT) named dmLT or LT(R192G/L211A) that has been combined with other vaccines in several human clinical trials
Greek here, we (a non-profit with 20+ employees and several contractors) are able to pay local people. Sometimes we hire contractors (people or companies) fron other European Union countries (mostly Germany and Spain). We would love to figure ways to pay people but it seems very complicated to do it ourselves.
Reading about LeSS, it looks like it's basically the same thing? As long as you're doing PI Planning you're a step above virtually every other org out there. It looks like it could be a good fit for some groups I know who aren't quite big enough for SAFe though, while still drilling in the same core ideas.

IMO the biggest issue with Scaled Agile always comes down to leadership IMO. It's not supposed to be rigid. It's supposed to be adapted to your organization and put the plans in the hands of the developers.

The horror stories about SAFe that I've seen on here usually end up with me asking a few followup questions and those questions make it clear that something was terribly wrong. One guy on here told me they did PI Planning for 2 full weeks, which is abject insanity.
How do you manage stacks of commits for code review? (I'm guessing you just don't -- a lot of git users have really messy, unprofessional repository histories. The fact that git doesn't have great tooling for history management is also an embarrassment to our profession)
No. We organized them because we were promised student representation on the school council but it turned out to be in name only and our representatives were simply ignored and kept in the dark about everything.
For regularly-scheduled events, 400m (500y) is considered a longer event, and is included in most meets, whilst 1500m / 1650 y (1.5 km / about a mile) are held infrequently, and often scheduled on a separate day from other events. There's also an 800m listed in the US records:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_records_...>

Time to run a heat is roughly 7 minutes for a 500y, and 15--25 minutes for a 1650y.

Open-water swimming typically begins at about 500m / 500y (mini-triathlon) and goes up from there, with multi-mile events being fairly common. Ironman Triathlon swimming distance is 2.4 miles.

Among longer events are the Catalina Channel (20 mi), for which the men's record is 7h15m. Or if that's not enough, there's the two-way, 40 miles, 16h42m record.

<https://longswims.com/events/catalina-channel/>

The English Channel is comparable in length at 21 miles, with 2,778 swims recorded to date:

> gold has intrinsic value

Gold market cap is >12T$, which is nowhere close to its actual intrinsic value. A lot of that market cap is due to the collective myth we have bought into that Gold is a store of value.

If you don't see that, then probably you also won't be able to see the usecase of BTC. Moreover, if you do not see a need for a store of value in general (which is totally based on collective myths and less so on actual intrinsic values), then you are probably in a cute bubble somewhere.

I personally don't feel the desire to visit other countries. If it's not somewhere I'd want to live, it's not somewhere I really care enough about to see. I care more about experiences and knowledge, both of which can be had where I live.

It helps that my state is also comparable in size to larger European countries. And has a pretty dynamic environment. Very mountainous and foresty in the north, planey in the east, red desert to the south, and tan desert to the west. Blazing hot in the summer, and well below freezing in the winter. I still haven't seen the majority of just this state.
