Scrobbles through Last.fm? But I don't think you can export directly from Spotify (maybe through playlist and one of the music transfer tools? I mostly use Spotify to listen through a recommended album. And ads bother me, so I switched to premium (It's 2.99 for me).

I have a local library of ALAC albums that I like. I used Syncthing to sync it to my home server, where there is a Plex installation (When I want to play via the ATV). And I convert to AAC 256kbps to my iPhone (Bluetooth is lossy anyway). More hassle than playing via Spotify, but the latter's UX is so bad that it's worth it. Also I have some excellent headphones (Hifiman Sundara and Sennheiser 6XX).

This drives me insane, literally every day my computer spends minutes - likely hours in total in a day - blasting at 100% CPU and it's not a ten years old one. Hell, I got access to a threadripper 5990X and even that one I sometimes end up in situations where I have to wait for CPU operations to finish, even for basic life things such as uncompressing archives or editing pictures so I really cannot understand

When you say "own" what do you mean? CD's? Or some digital purchase?

I believe modern iTunes is DRM free so you can keep all your purchases safe that way. Alternatively Youtube Music allows you to upload all your local music so you can their service to stream it. I've bought things on iTunes and then uploaded them to Youtube Music.
> That alone should tell us something about the position of Google's AI strategy right now.

Not really? Maybe they believe those 12000 people have the wrong skills for this job. Maybe they believe they can get the AI integrated with a lot less people. Maybe they would have fired 20k people, but decided to keep 8k of those to integrate the language generative model into products.

Not saying any of this is true. In fact more likely that the company is just reacting randomly without a big overarching plan. I'm just saying that I don't think you can draw conclusions from the fact that layoffs are happening about their AI strategy.
> Frankly, 20-30 year old media players were better. So what the point of it all is...I have no idea.

I would say that Spotify does not compete with traditional media players, it competes with radio.

If i want to listen to my favorite songs, there is no reason to use Spotify for that. But if i want something different-but-similar and i do not really know what, because i am not very interested in music, then discoverability of new music by Spotify is game-changing.
What's weird is that all of these CEOs are saying the same thing: "I hired too many folks a couple years ago, welp, guess I was wrong".

You would think some companies hired too many, some hired too few, others more or less just stayed the same. Instead we're seeing this groupthink of these so-called geniuses of the industry moving this way and that like a flock of sheep.

+1 on Jon Bernthal. I was very skeptical at first but he gets very unique guests such ex-gang members and policemen.

Many popular podcasts just have guests who are obviously trying to promote a new Netflix special or book.

He stutters and the outcome isn’t that polished but if you can adapt to that his podcast feels very authentic.

This is not true for real numbers with the usual "less-than" relation. In fact, considering real numbers, no open subset of R admits a lower member.

According to Zorn's lemma, there exist some order relation where your assertion is true, but I seem to remember from my math course a few (!) years ago that Zorn's lemma is equivalent to the axiom of choice.

The state lines thing is only about federal crimes. Possession is most likely illegal as a state crime on its own. The repercussions of even being suspected of crimes in this area means that every rational person would take precautions far above what is legally necessary to prevent any association with such material.

A company-wide paycut of only 10% is unlikely to be considered "constructive dismissal" esp. if in lieu of layoffs.

Sure, safety's difficult -- but precisely because its the exact same issue as cryptography. Your point about bug bounties is a perfect example of antifragility -- and cryptos success in this regard is far more interesting than its failures (none of which have been fundamental to the concept)

> om my experience the circles of "complains about git" and "read the manual properly" barely touch

Yuuup. For anyone reading this who thinks of Git as a bunch of magic commands, go read all of gittutorial, gittutorial-2 and gitcore-tutorial. That last one is particularly important to read & follow along with. It gives you Git's underlying data model, which makes it much easier to reason about what the UI-level commands are doing.

I even used that knowledge once to recover my boss's lost data at a previous job! He had git-added a new file, and then lost it (git-clean/git-reset/something) before committing. I knew from reading that tutorial that git-add is sufficient to add it to git's object store, so we managed to find the right object using file timestamps and git-cat-file to retrieve it.

"On stage with your favorite artist, dj, etc during a show "

Why in heavens name would you want to do something like this? Prove to the entire audience of the show how big of a dick you are?
> My pet peeve is shows that have interviews with people and preface it with 30 minutes of "banter" that doesn't interest anyone who hasn't listened to the previous 420 episodes.

Repeat listeners are most podcast producers' bread and butter, and those listeners tend to be invested in the hosts, and typically enjoy the banter.

It's sort of the reverse of radio. In a radio show you want to pander to the widest audience - every show must stand alone and can't rely on the audience's familiarity with the host or past content. In a podcast there's no one tuning in at random because it's something interesting that's "on" at the time that they happen to be listening, so podcasters get by from cultivating and pandering to a dedicated fanbase, who then tend to enjoy content that benefits from a deep familiarity with the show.

It sounds like you'd most enjoy "podcasts" that are really recordings of radio shows (99% Invisible, the many NPR podcasts etc).

Yes, I also see hydrogen as a energy storage medium. Compressed air and pumped hydro and hydraulic accumulators have similar functions.

Sometimes the media conflates energy production, storage, and transport. This leads to confusing arguments.
I do not understand people who have the time to create these, nor people who have the time to listen to these, nor people who believe people should take the time to listen to these, where "these" is informational audio or video content on any single topic exceeding 15 minutes in length.

Toss in the people who think they need 2 minutes of intro, or spend 30% or more of their time greeting/acknowledging/whatever people who aren't present/involved when the audience actually consumes the content, and I just don't know why these things ever became so widespread.

That's my mileage, anyway.
The point of my example is to show that the functions can exist even if their domain includes "indescribable" numbers. It shows that trivially the "indescribable-ness" of numbers in the domain of the function is not relevant to whether the function exists.

The author's argument relies on "indescribable-ness" somehow blocking the ability to "choose" an element. But that trades on a vague, intuitive understanding of "choosing", which doesn't capture what the AC is about. The AC is about the existence of certain functions. Since the "indescribable-ness" of the domain of a function is not relevant to its existence, the author's argument doesn't successfully attack the AC.

It always helps to remember that people, generically, are idiots who don't mean to say what, literally, they say; have no idea how to say what they mean; and are otherwise just struggling to create an impression of being in control and knowing whats going on.

The first paragraph of this article reads this way to me: a person flinging around cliches because they've no idea what they're supposed to say, or how to say it.

This, indeed, may be more acute if the author is actually distressed.
My wording was a bit imprecise, but it should be obvious the thread that we're talking about "PFAS/PFOS ending up in body" risk.

Definitely agree with the HL suggestion and guest comment.

There is something to be said about personal experience and responsibility when consuming advice from a medical source, be it trusted or not. A medical doctor standing on the nations stage urging everyone to do the same thing (without any sort of responsibility to you, the one taking the advice) is hardly a prescription to leave your mind at the altar of “science”. My point here is that you should factor in your personal experience and local knowledge of the topic before imbibing in this type of nationwide directive.

A union would force these layoffs to be justified well beyond what we see in these PR releases, however, the severance packages offered are very good for non-unionized labor. It makes me suspect that the loose association of programmers has latent power even if it’s not in a guild or union.
Look at how much energy is on the other end of the oil flow: 20% efficiency and still the ICE car is king, without subsidies, EVs would go nowhere. The hydrogen back and forth is still better than that.

Talking about efficiency is a losing battle, people don't care about that, they care about total cost, safety and convenience.
To Colombia my friend. The future can be today!
> more expensive than an ICE

The (relevant) comparison was H2 versus BEVs — ie comparing decarbonized solutions apples-to-apples. I have edited to make that more clear.

> why not pursue hydrogen investment as a possible alternative?

Because hydrogen, for all its marketing, doesn't solve the problems people have with BEVs. Better BEVs do.

I see a variety of BEV motorcycles and light trucks available. The same can't be said for hydrogen.

Compensation was generally good.

Work was challenging and engaging. If nothing else it got me exposed to a lot of enterprise environments and business owners.

Don't miss the feast-or-famine workflow, constant shifting of priorities and needs, the artificial "give a shit" about the flavor of the month clients, and the constant up-or-out hustle environment.
If streaming got too expensive, I'd just buy more music now and then. I managed fine before streaming and I'd manage without it. But then I have a big library.
I dunno, maybe if Spotify wasn't spending hundreds of million on podcast deals and actually focusing on what its users want, they wouldn't need to lay people off.

Any way you slice it, there's no way that the Rogan deal pays for itself. Spotify is stingy AF with the artists that drove people to the service, and then firehoses Rogan with cash and tries to shove podcasts down people's throats. I was a happy Spotify subscriber for a long time but they just kept making the service worse while ratcheting up prices.

Don't forget the part that you now have to "love" a song or an album in order to download it because there's no "Add to Library" anymore, completely ruining the concept of "likes". How would I know if I like something or not if I have to say I "love" it in order to download it so I can listen to it later? Do I really "love" every single song of an album or was I just forced to say so in order to download the whole album? There is no possible way you're getting the correct data points out of me like this.

There's three things I want out of Spotify:

* Browse the albums of a particular artist and play it – this is becoming harder and harder;

* Find and play one song in particular by title – this is the only thing Spotify still does right;

* Download an album / playlist and be able to listen to it later on regardless of my internet connection status – besides the requirement to "love" it stupidity, the UI just hangs until it timeouts if you have a spotty connection. If you have the content, just display and play it! It's actually slightly better now when you have no connection, a while ago, if you were on a plane in Airplane Mode, it would hang for a few seconds "loading" until it gave up and displayed the album art it had downloaded - why?!

I just want Winamp with a search engine and a downloader built in. Is that really so hard? Is Electron really adding any value here, or just making problems far harder to solve than they should be across every single platform?

Taking Back “Software Engineering” – Craftsmanship Is Insufficient • Dave Farley
The tide is turning; tech owners are attempting to curtail the high costs of labor in the software industry.

The only way for labor to fight back is to stand together and form a union.
I do a soft limit of 80, typically only ever exceeded by a comment w/ a link in it that might bust the cap.

Despite using a 4K display, it is nice to be able to put individual code windows side by side, multiple times, and be able to read it all w/o horizontal scrolling.

I also feel that a lot of code reaching past 80 characters could be refactored.
That's essentially what axioms are. Wether it's reasonable or not depends on your intuition of both axiom & implications.

This is where the axiom of choice is interesting; many people feel that it seems intuitively reasonable, but the implications are counterintuitive (e.g. banach-tarski)
Worth noting that Spotify has less than 7000 employees so that 6% will be ~400 employees. Terrible news for those affected, but it would take many more to affect the industry the way FAANG layoffs do.

I like to listen to podcasts while I run. I listen at double speed and my shortest runs last a half hour minimum. I also listen for the entertainment, not necessarily solely because I want the information, so I don't mind listening to the hosts be people (though they can drag on too long, and don't get me started on "podcast network" ads).

That's the big issue with basically all decentralized services, they usually have some additional headache from the decentralized architecture but the actual benefits over a centralized service aren't relevant to even the average technical user. Mastodon didn't really take off until the moderation and social environment at Twitter got so twisted post Musk the benefit of being not Twitter was nearly enough to get people to switch. Even then the day to day of using Twitter may not have changed for most people, it hasn't that much for me but I have a pretty curated follow list.
They have. Google used to be mostly Palo Alto (and foreign branch offices) and now they're much much less Palo Alto.

There are countably many finite strings of a fixed, finite collection of symbols. That’s the point the author is making — it becomes more intuitively obvious that there might be trouble “choosing” when you design the set you’d like to choose from to consist solely of the “nameless” reals.
That's 2 half blocks from the giant park that divides the University of Chicago campus --- one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago --- from the rest of the city. The park is full of university joggers, so do be careful of that. If you walk 10 minutes in the other direction you'll be at a large police station.

I'm not saying you'd want an apartment in Washington Park. Your car would get broken into a bunch. But the question you asked was "would you be fine if I dropped you off in a random point in Chicago". You would be perfectly fine at the random point you picked.
> Yes that's the number I found WITHOUT accounting for mining the materials... Just manufacturing the battery.

Are you sure you are reading the study right 'manufacturing' in standard LCA methodology also includes embodied enery/carbon of the ingredients?

You can also fermi analyse it. The absolute cheapest form of energy is lignite burnt at the mine front which is about $5/MWh. Before shortage induced price hikes, the 100 or so grams of lithium in a 1kWh battery was worth $1-2. The battery can store around 5MWh in its lifetime. This puts a fairly hard upper bound of 4-8% of the cycled energy. Phosphorus and iron are less scarce, copper might be significant. Any cost that isn't the cheapest possible energy pushes the lower bound down.

Green hydrogen is fine in niches where it's suited, but most of the hydrogen-for-everything schemes rely heavily on fossil fuel derived hydrogen whenyou look under the hood and ignore the amount of methane, CO2, and H2 that will escape at various stages. H2 is not a greenhouse gas on its own, but it makes methane much worse.

> Yes but there's far less of those materials required than the sheer amount of battery cells being produced for automobiles.

And if you look at the quantities required to replace the role of BEVs rather than as an adjunct, it's worse.
