I can put the effort to answer the message, but his answer was of no help and quite frustrating, it was my way to let him know that! There's a reason I disclosed that it was AI generated (maybe not the best approach)!
What’s your thinking there? The bigger tunnel boring machines needed and the extra dirt excavated are cheap in the bigger picture. The trend is clear within London alone and globally, towards larger tunnels.

If one "forever bulb" can only output 10 lumens @10 watts but you need 100 lumens, and a "one year" bulb can create 100 lumens @60 watts, the disposable bulb wins.

None of these things are mutually exclusive the way you're implying. This is a "cultural degeneracy" argument, which are always suspect imo. You are certainly entitled to dislike the aesthetics of shifts in communication, but you're basically just assuming that the changes are inherently negative and there's no reason to think they are.

"Single-pictogram messages and expression of raw emotion" are simply not mutually exclusive with mature, well-considered, intentional communication.
Is Laravel the happiest developer community on the planet?
Guestimate the available resources, and maybe do some of both?

But this is a hard choice. Do you want to try and fail to be a rockstar, or become a moderately successful software engineer who will be wealthy and have a stable career. The question is what aspects of each want you actually want?
How real is America’s chipmaking renaissance?

The concept animations of the convention center strip were similarly far from what was delivered. Real "skyscraper covered in parks" energy.
Pathetic. This is why government sucks....bigger is almost always worse....local policies are at least run by the locals....fuck this
You might imagine that but I'm very skeptical that 80% or anything like that of the traffic on the strip is people going back and forth to the airport.

Ask HN: What are the economics of a streaming based record label?
Hi,

I have been looking at starting a record label as a side business. But it would be designed mostly to make money from Music Streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube and others.

I am thinking of using CD Baby for distribution of the music.

Streaming services are not explicitly open about how much they pay per stream.

I understand that the failure rate is high just like startups and movies.

But I also realised that a hit song can accrue 500 million streams or even 1 Billion streams of its a big hit.

My question is, how much interms of range should one expect to make incase they make such numbers.

Is anyone here making money through streaming music? What's your estimated earning per stream across Spotify, Apple Music, & YouTube?

Also, any other tips of how to run the project or improve odds of success or learning/reading resources would be very much appreciated.

That people think a city should ban a company from building underground transit without even letting them try when the alternatives are robustly known to be almost literally (if not just literally) too expensive, too slow, and too encumbered to build, is exactly why transit is too expensive, too slow, and too encumbered to build. It shocks me to no end how much people want to shoot themselves in the foot.
It seems like an interesting and worthwhile experiment. It seems almost inevitable that if it works out, the drivers will be removed and they'll switch to tailor-made automated vehicles. It could start to make a lot more sense as a sort of point-to-point automated rail equivalent.

Perhaps a regular metro would suit Las Vega better, but if that's out of reach why not give this a shot? It's Las Vega after all.
This change will allow the company to provide customers with a faster and more efficient service. It will also allow the company to offer customers a more personalized printing experience. To place an order through the SIGNAL app, customers must download the app and create an account. Once they have created an account, customers can send a message to the company with their order details. The company will respond to the message and confirm the order. Processing ONLINE orders only through the SIGNAL application is a major change for Stancu Print. However, the company believes that this change will be beneficial for its customers. The company believes that this change will allow the company to provide customers with a faster, more efficient and more personalized service.
Eh... I would never purchase one myself but they have some good use cases. They're great for schools because kids always break devices and they're cheap to get replacement parts for. They're also quite easy to use for web browsing, which is basically all most people do these days. Another great use is for old people. Handing a Windows device to a senior is almost a guaranteed virus/malware host.
I do two things:

- I (as the CTO) get grumpy when I get alerted for nothing or spammed with non stop alerts. And I see all the alerts. Basically that means I tell people to get their act together (or lead by example). In fairness, it's quite often me that made the changes that caused me to get alerted and grumpy. This is not about finger pointing but about it genuinely being annoying to have to deal with this. This is a necessary level of pain that you seek to minimize.

- I get more grumpy when I don't get alerted when the thing actually breaks. This means I have to explain to others why shit was broken for hours/days on end without me doing anything about it. The dog ate my homework doesn't quite cut it here. I'm responsible, so I need to know.

The balance here is making sure every error gets logged and then making sure that everything that does get logged gets resolved in a way that makes the problem go away permanently. It's either a bug (fix it), an infrastructure failure (fix it), or something that isn't an error (so fix that it doesn't log a such).
It's the JSON data payload that has unminified keys. Though YouTube is one of the few google sites that still use JSON, most use protocol buffers which generate JS interfaces which would indeed be mangled by minifiers.

Gmaps give me a different estimated time if I ask for a route tomorrow afternoon ("normally 35-45 minutes") or tomorrow evening ("26 minutes").
This behavior of legal loopholes to discount workers should be made illegal. The definition of sub-contractor has got to change and/or have laws/policies in place that actually make sense in a sub contractor relationship. These are shell companies that spin up and exclusively deliver for amazon, they aren't gig workers delivering when they want, they have strict quotas.
So what do they see that finally convinces them?
> The federal government is very clear that only they can affect interstate commerce.

Well, the federal government is very clear on that they can regulate anything that has an effect on interstate commerce. So, if you grow some corn for personal consumption that's regulated by the federal government because you wouldn't need to buy it on the open market which affects interstate commerce.

But yeah if you don't operate in a state there's a lot of difficulty in that state coming after you. However, that state may try to be a nit about federal rules if you do something they don't like (say operate a coal plant on the border of your state so pollution goes into not your state [1]).

Even privately owned, there's the problem that whatever tunnels they do build are going to be in the low hanging fruit and in the way of building actual subway systems in the future if a sensible transport policy starts.

The Amazon series is not about making a good LOTR movie. It's about making money for the studios and also removing any/all sympathy for the striking writers. Its incredibly insidious in that way.
Neither humans nor any other known life-forms can meaningfully influence stellar evolution regards either the fate or timing of the Sun's end.

Cancer can and does bring about the death of its host.

(One might argue that both humans and other life forms have the potential and/or demonstrated capability to transform their own ecosystem beyond its viability to continue to sustain and support them, with both the present anthropogenic greenhouse-gas-based global warming and the Great Oxygenation Event and subsequent Snowball Earth serving as examples.)

That said, I understand your analogy.

There are virally- and clonally-transmitted or otherwise contagious cancers:

While that video from Asianometry contains interesting historical information, it does not include any evidence for their thesis that the GDR's mismanagement of their semiconductor industry was a greater contributor to the country's bankruptcy than their mismanagement of all the other branches of the economy.

If they would have directed some of the resources spent in attempts to modernize the semiconductor industry to any other economic activities, at least the same fraction of the resources that were wasted in the semiconductor industry would have been wasted elsewhere.

So there is no proof that this choice has been worse than others. On the contrary, even if in GDR their efforts did not result in the desired production capabilities, at least they taught many engineers and technicians, so that this made Dresden attractive after reunification as a place where to invest in this field, until in the present with this fab planned by TSMC.
Whereas, China of course has clean hands.

Got it. Still not a red flag though. CFO tenure is rather low. This thread points out more so how Musk has become a villain in the tech sphere and people are looking for reasons to vilify him and anything he’s associated with.

(1) Good foam earplugs. Mine are SNR 38dB and they make a huge difference when the gremlins (my daughter and her boyfriend) are having loud conversations at 1am, or any time my wife's snoring is especially bad.

(2) A roll-up electronics case. Mine (ProCase) has three pockets for thumb drives and dongles, two large pockets for my charger and power cable, and six loops for smaller cables. Then it all rolls nice and neat and compact. I call it "the burrito" and I must not be alone because Jansport now has one that actually looks like a burrito.
1.2m over two years is 1640 people/day average. It looks like there are four operational stations, so 410 people/station/day?

Is that really hard to believe? It’s shockingly low for public transit but seems an easy bar to clear.

That's a false binary. "I don't have enough information to form an opinion here" and "I feel like that guy's probably full of shit, though" are in no way mutually exclusive.
It's only the future if we accept these half truths and deceptions. Like how Amazon is accepting it.

the major blockers to public transportation is spending government money to benefit people that aren’t necessarily you. The rest is mostly smoke and mirrors.

The long term ROI may be huge economically and environmentally, but that’s far to abstract to motivate most people.
Ultimately? Of course. But in the short term? The LLM's owner can vouch for the LLM, same as anything.

I honestly don't care if a human augments their output with an LLM. What I care is that they act in good faith. As long as new identities can be spun up automatically with negligible effort, human or otherwise it's too easy to flood the zone with shit.

I want to be able to say "This post was made by an ID that is tied to a human being that has a history of acting in good faith, and I can see that history". Even if "I" am the owner of a crowdsourced-content site and I'm keeping that ID private. If the person who uses that ID is leveraging an LLM to create what looks like good-faith content, that's fine. The problem this solves is one person using LLMs to create a sockpuppet army that looks like a hundred thousand humans, not one person using an LLM to generate a flotilla of good content. Or even a flotilla of bad content but we still konw who's doing it.

An interesting article. I think one of the major challenges in deep dives like this that rely heavily on HoME is that there is so much material that was clearly discarded, reconsidered, or reworked later in Tolkien's life. The steel ships/rockets/etc. of some of the earlier versions of Ar-Pharazon's fleet is a great example of this, which I don't think has a proper disclaimer in the article.

It is one of the downsides of using HoME as a source, it is a collection of rough drafts over the course of Tolkien's entire life and the textual history, and evolution, is a critical part of discussing anything you find within especially the earlier volumes.
Most/all minifiers won't actually mangle object property names as those often have observable side effects. You want to grab all the keys for an object and do something different depending on the name of the key - you can no longer do that if the minifier has mangled all the object keys. Not to mention I imagine it would be significantly harder track all references to object keys across an application (as opposed to just local variables).
Google lies all the time. They don't exactly have any honest practices.

Lol, sure. Personally I don't like dealing with online returns and I dislike the idea of buying things just to immediately throw them in the garbage. I'm picking an item I plan to use regularly, I want to see it irl and know what I'm getting.

Also, I am not trying to hyper optimize my use of time, but rather I find the experience of huge selection, fake reviews mixed with sponsored listings to be very unpleasant. I have slightly more faith in quality control at a department store, or even a dedicated housewares store.

There's loads of numbers (if you Google) with estimations as to what streams pay.

I think the question is what are you going to offer the artist that they can't do themselves, in order that you can take a cut of their streaming? Marketing? Promotion? Guaranteed playlisting? Do you have connections I don't? Arrange my tour? Etc etc.

If you can't those we're back to a world with artists saying they get paid 'nothing' for streaming when the reality is the label is gobbling up most of it.

It's not really more expensive. In Denver it's $10.50 per person to take the train from the airport to downtown. At the time of this post an Uber from LAS to the Bellagio is $11. If you have two people then the Uber is about half the cost per person of the train in Denver.

OP seeking for dropshipping opportunities
I'm playing around with the BttF example, and I think it would help if maybe that rightmost sidebar would explain just what is happening each time the user interacts with the center panel.

Is the 3D model in the center sending events to a machine on a different network? To a different process on the same server?

I think, for each interaction, on the RHS you can log the source of the message, each hop and the destination.

Good luck.

I don't think your criticism here works. The point is that people buy with expectations of return, and therefore are willing to pay investment prices rather than just equivalent-to-renting prices. Your reply doesn't address that at all.

There are countries, like China, who are in a period of population decline. If you have less people YoY and your population is weighted towards retirement age it can spiral to where the entities producing things produce less each year and foreign businesses/countries buying those things will find them elsewhere. Mexico's population is growing, younger and much closer for trade and friendlier to the US. Its almost inevitable that the trade relationship strengthens amongst Mexico, US and Canada.

If you were playing the game Civilization, North America is more self-sustainable than other continents as far as access to materials, food, water, etc. goes. Easier to defend as well with friendly neighbors. Countries with population decline (Russia is in this boat as well and then throwing their young males into war which might compound population decline) can't reverse that very quickly - there are "boomer" populations all over the globe at various stages entering retirement age (i.e. not working and not spending) with younger generations being much smaller in size. I think the pandemic threw a brick on the accelerator for shaking up trade relationships when people realized how just-in-time doesn't work well when things get disrupted.

It doesn't need to be cheaper when a possible outcome of the alternative is a bullet. There are always people who turn to illegalities because they're forced to, and would gladly make less money in order to lessen their chance of imprisonment or worse.

Intermittent fasting is deliberate and actual fasting. Skipping breakfast often (but not consistently) probably lead to a greater feeling of hunger, and when combined with perhaps not being hungry in the morning because of the night eating mentioned it's no fasting either.
