I figure most people on HN know that @dang doesn't do anything and it's shorthand for "dang, if you happen to be reading this, [...]".
itsrectifiable.com is available.
Sure it does. It allows dang to search posts for his name without getting results that conflict with the actual word dang. Plus it's pretty common usage in places and your eye is drawn to that allowing you to recognize it's a name and not just a word. Pretty useful where people use handles and not actual names. I mean yeah, HN isn't a "smart" website, but I wouldn't say the @ doesn't do anything
> Obviously you displaced a US citizen [...]

I'm not sure this is obvious.
1) Apple is a multi-national company, and hires an employee in the UK.
2) This employee relocates to the US

At what point do they displace the US citizen? All Apple jobs are not earmarked for US citizens (+residents, etc...), and they're already doing the job when they move to the US. Unless they're hired abroad for the express purpose of relocating to the US, then it's not "obvious" to me that they've displaced anyone.

Suppose I work in an org with dev teams in multiple countries. If I relocate from one site to another, am I freeing up a slot in the country I leave and taking one in the country I move to?
That kinda looks (sounds?) like some star trek science team member programming stuff: just talk to the mainframe and check the output
This one is also somewhat of a prototype though, the plan is to make much larger airships in the future.

It is a quandary. Some pols burrow in and never go away, to the detriment of the people they're supposed to be serving.

On the other hand, term limits just empower lobbyists, who don't have them. You think capture is bad now, just wait until all elected officials are perennial novices at the game.

Even though I would like Spotify to pay artists decently, I'll keep paying for it mainly for their recommendations and discovery features.

If you only listen to music you already know you like, then sure Bandcamp or whatever is amazing for the artist.

But personally, I just launch my "liked" playlist and use their enrich feature to fill in titles. Or use their thematic playlist generations that use a genre but take into account what I already liked of this genre.

Though if someone showed me an alternative with discovery features that work as good as this and pays artists decently I'd switch instantly.

> The reason why less-well-off folks are more likely to support a command economy

Yep, but ironically it would destroy even more of their surplus, so, at least for now, they're still benefiting.

But also, why shouldn't surplus be destroyed? You don't see people complaining when business surplus is destroyed, and it is because it benefits one party (ours) over the other (theirs), it's simply hypocrisy to think so. For a truly efficient market, surplus on either side should not exist.
Unfortunately, this is actually a problem because of the legacy format of distribution for music. In order to add contact to classic music sales platforms like iTunes, you needed to go through a music distribution platform. CDBaby is a good example of an older 2010s company that offered similar services.

When streaming became an option, music distribution platforms that appeal to a lower barrier of entry became more popular.

If the industry were refreshed today, it would make more sense to directly upload content directly to the streaming platform, like Apple Music or Spotify, just like we do with social networks.

Unfortunately, this put Spotify in a weird position because while they are a distributor, they are a secondary distributor. Unlike YouTube, or other platforms that directly host the content. (yes, I know they're hosting the audio files, but they are still secondary, because distro kid is primary).

Again, I pay for distro kid, everyone who uploads music to platforms, pays their distributor. So unfortunately, it's more complex than monetization and ownership rates around content on YouTube or something like that.
>The problem with predictions markets is that they incentivize participants to distort the market in order to make their prediction come true (and thus receive a payout)

As opposed to the stock market?

>There's a reason that insider trading is illegal; prediction markets are inordinately susceptible to Goodhart's Law.

Insider trading is only illegal because you're abusing your position of trust as an employee. You having an incentive to make the stock go higher is totally fine. In fact that's how activist investing works. You buy shares in a company, use that to get control and turn the company around, and sell your shares in the now more valuable company.

I don't think any band out there has any excuse not to spend literally minutes to set up an online store (using Shopify or whatever else) and put their music up for sale directly. If they don't, and rely on iTunes/Spotify etc., or sign with a major label, then you as a fan aren't obligated to go out of your way to still look for avenues to support them.
Curious to hear what these euphemisms were
Qobuz. Amazon's insistence to push podcasts in my face, including in search results, have finally overcame my customer apathy and I switched, just like Google's insistence to push Youtube Music in my face pushed me to go to Amazon Music.

I've seen claims that they pay artists better than anyone else besides Tidal, but I've seen no official statements.
Updated my comment, thanks
even if elon musk is a polarizing person, criticism/feedback sucks. I dunno why, but few things hits as hard as criticism, and having billions is not an effective shied.
Many engineering teams hire the good people they can find.

If one quits, nothing says you'll find another one, and you may keep going with one less person.
There is a book called The People's Republic of Walmart about how "command economies" work in corporations, and why we couldn't have something similar in the general economy. I remain unconvinced, however, because the difference is that the amount of data you need is vast and often uncapturable, uncollectable. You basically have to know everything about everything, so markets are a better bottom up emergent simulation of supply and demand, hence why they work so well, at least in the aggregate.
Tidal is great for selection and quality, but not usability like Spotify where I can control it from any device. Tidal works on my receiver and Amazon devices.

Like many home/IoT services, Spotify uses mDNS to enumerate and announce its peers when they are L3 local but they are also controllable remotely by dialing-home to their API albeit with a slightly longer delay. Spotify is hilarious when playing from the Everywhere group (all devices) where desktops, tablets, phones, the thermostat, stereo receiver, and Amazon Echo devices all insist on playing out of time like a crowd of teenagers singing a song.
This is my tweet, thanks for sharing!

If anyone is interested, I built a dashboard that tracks the performance of individual congressional stock trades here:

https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/

It also allows you to search for trades by stock, instead of needing to parse through thousands of disclosure forms.

I do want to mention one weakness of my data, which is that I don't currently parse hand-filed disclosures. Most politicians do electronic filings, which are easy to scrape, but some still file by hand. Working on a solution for that, which should hopefully be live before too long.
>they incentivize participants to distort the market in order to make their prediction come true (and thus receive a payout)

Isn’t that true of any goal directed activity, or desire?
You're right, it's not outrageous, but I'd argue theft at any size is still wrong.

I think it's likely they kept this number very low specifically to keep people arguing about whether or not the amount was important, versus if it was OK to be doing in the first place.
It is interesting to see that this approach has been used by Niklaus Wirth in most of his compilers, see "Compiler Construction - The Art of Niklaus Wirth" by Hanspeter Mössenböck [0].
This technique was also described by David R. Hanson in "Code Improvement via Lazy Evaluation", 1980 [1] and "Simple Code Optimizations", 1983 [2].

Ah, thanks - I hadn't gone reading other news sites about this article, and had assumed GP was referring TFA, but couldn't see anything that might have inspired that comment.

Though I did note that TFA used the misleading (or simply wrong) phrase:

> you only get one

I wish that was a joke.

My wife (American) has found it utterly impossible to replace her social security card that went missing at least 7 years ago, despite several attempts. It would be nice to have so she can interact with the DMV when back in the US, and suchlike.

At least where we live now, the equivalent card is infinitely replaceable within days with a simple online form, and the person number is of extremely limited value to fraudsters.
I think that's a bit unfair, they had barely put a team together by year three. They started from zero employees and had to put together a AAA studio from scratch, and kick off two massive games that had no fixed scope due to the crowdfunding goals. They have 600 employees or something right now, are feature complete on the single player and somewhat fixed scope on the open world. I am not a rabid fanboy, but credit where it is due, 10 years isn't unheard of even from established studios on known scope games, and they have two games plus all the overhead of open development.
TBF, it's a bit more like...

Government: Here's a number unique to you just for tax-related purposes. No, you can't change it and no, there's no security besides the anti-forgery measures on the card, which is why you can't laminate it. Here it is, you can't have spares, and getting a replacement is annoying, so keep it safe.

Companies: Cool! You've got a tax-filing number? We're gonna use that as your personal secret password for all sorts of important shit because that's super-easy on our end. Remember, if anybody else abuses it then it's totally your fault and not ours. [0]

The pricing is not dynamic though, at any Michelin restaurant I've been to. Even if it were, I'm not sure there would be any change though if the consumer knows that their net cost would remain the same, so it doesn't really matter how much the restaurant charges for the reservation fee.
Whats the difference between a prediction market and a futures market?

Which sounds like a joke. But I am unable to think of one right now.

Actually... how is this different from the stock market. You buy and sell based on how the market is predicted to go..
Motivation: "Spotify doesn’t seem to have the artist’s interest in mind anymore" citing examples of minimum number of listens (1000) before paying out (at 1k, isn't that still in the realm of micropence anyway?), and the podcast thing funding questionable people and being pushed through UI changes.

Alternative: "For now, I’m just back to the weird p2p programs where I can try to find the music I bought or the ones that are just impossible to get."

Result: "listening to music feels more meaningful, not a thing that happens in the background"

Again it comes down to the fact that 8GB means you are almost guaranteed to be on swap. Does it work? Sure. But there is nothing ‘Pro’ about that, it wears out your drive faster and gives suboptimal performance
Funny, I finally ditched Spotify last week. I just can’t stand the pop up ads, the cluttered interface, and frankly I’m sick of the recommendations.

So far I’ve been trying Apple Music, and have liked it so far. I’ve tried in the past but didn’t stick around long enough to learn how to use it.

Also, I have HomePods as speakers for my living room tv and found that “streaming” to them using Apple Music isn’t streaming, it sends the channel over to the device so you can do whatever on your phone or leave the house and it still plays. Much like Sonos.
We're not really. With modern targeting systems an unguided bomb like a Mk.82 has a precision (circular area probable, CEP) 30-50m in perfect conditions. The same Mk.82 with a JDAM kit attached has a CEP of around 4-5m.

Just to be sure you hit a target with unguided bombs you need to drop several at once. Missing a building by 50m is the difference between hitting it or its parking lot. That same mission could be done with a single guided bomb because it's more likely than not going to hit exactly where it's aimed. In Iraq JDAMs were sometimes targeted at individual vehicles.

A B-21 with fewer smart bombs has a higher likelihood of destroying all of its targets than a B-2 loaded with a larger number of dumb bombs.

In terms of Nuclear Triad, having more airframes is more important than carrying more weapons. With a larger number of B-21s able to operate at more airfields they're a more credible threat than a small number of B-2s. In nuclear deterrence you want the other side to think "Damn, there could be bombers overhead right now waiting to nuke me if I push the button. Maybe I'll talk this out instead."
Bringing efficiency to a sub-utilized market, perhaps.
>If prediction markets could tell the future one would imagine the first person to harness them would now be the most wealthy and powerful person to have ever lived.

1. It's unclear how you or any person in particular would be "the most wealthy and powerful person to have ever lived", because other people would also be able to exploit it

2. Many predictions are hard to act upon, even if you know they're accurate.

The Emergent "utopia" is both horrifying and eerily believable. I've known some grad students and some tech workers who are way too close already.

But it's reallly strange to try to map the Emergent political structure onto any modern political axis. It's not "liberal progressive" or "traditional conservative" or "libertarian". Or any other popular political ideology. It's certainly authoritarian, but uniquely so. It's almost a dystopia run by project managers and exploiting specialists.

Also a fun bit: The traders in the book count base their epoch on the first moon landing, but if you pay attention, the lowest levels of software count from a different epoch.
Wouldn't that just incentive those people to always favor the items in that fund, therefore providing an advantage to anything that makes in on the fund?

Given two competitors in a market, what if the existing but inefficient one is in the fund but the new one that is trying to shake thing up and/or do a better job is not? You might see a lot more protectionism, and not just against companies of other nations, but against our own new best companies.
Its naive to think expanding the labor pool wouldnt reduce labor costs. Its supply and demand/economics 101. And obviously they (and every other company) is going to complain they cant fill positions locally in order to gain access to this cheaper pool.

The gang involved in that is still sifting data and posting victims from that run of exploitation, and has since targeted other software with 0days.

Their whole pattern is “find 0day in some shit -> mass exploitation -> massive data theft -> extortion”.

“I need you to …” is too low level. It’s better to set the objective, how success will be measured, and who will care about it (usually a customer or partner), what the stakes are , and when we need to wrap up.

If you find yourself as a manager telling people what to do and how to do it, take a step back.
Money often makes you immune from criticism from those around you, because they don’t want to criticize to stay near the money.

But depending on who you are if you dare step out of that bubble the results can be very harsh.
You can also use songshift, it'll move your playlists to whatever.
I too believe there has to be reform, but I also believe this is Apple being lazy/doing this for convenience.

If the individuals are more skilled than citizens, the Apple should have been prepared to open the interviews for those jobs to everyone (including citizens and permanent residents), selected the (person they knew to have been) the best and gotten the paperwork in order. The subterfuge would be completely unnecessary if they applied under the correct visa class and skills of those involved are as advertised.
But... how do we know that @dang doesn't do anything?
> Insider trading is illegal because the non-insiders would stop trading otherwise.

This is completely, demonstrably false; there are no insider trading laws in rel estate, commodities or crypto, but that doesn't stop people buying.

Well that explains some of the reasons why pre-roll ads are so much higher value, that and “having” (lol Adblock) to watch them before you can see the content at all.
Honest question: why would you trust any public company? Do they have any motive to do anything in your interest that isn't somehow calculated to benefit them monetarily in the maximum way possible?
> I would like Spotify to pay artists decently

Using which funds? Afaik they pay out quite a lot of the income, they could try to cut costs (the most meaningful thing there probably being to lay off staff) in order to maximize payouts but the only alternative pushes people to competing services that are cheaper and can't pay artists better for the same reason.

One thing they could reasonably do is to offer for people to pay more for their Spotify subscription, where the surplus (anything you pay above the base subscription) goes 100% to the artists, proportionally to the ones you listen to. One can speculate how much that would help the problem. I just find it weird to see people always saying (look up any Spotify-related thread) that Spotify pays so poorly and that people should cancel their subscription altogether instead.

Edit: got curious and looked it up

> I don’t understand how you can say you think everything is your own mind and yet you can’t know it.

I'm not saying everything is made up in my mind like some sci-fi movie plot. I'm saying that we're confined to the limits of our perception and beliefs in a very real way. Maybe it's all in my mind, but that's somewhat different.

How about this: people's memories have been shown to be somewhat malleable. Framing a question with subtly different wording or prompting with an intentional nudge (police officers do this) can warp the witness' perception. There may well be some objective truth about the incident and maybe someone knows it, but for that witness, their world has diverged.

In the extreme case, someone who is very deluded can't process the truth that the rest of us can see. But do we really see the truth, or is it that we brand what we each see as the truth? Maybe the deluded person is right. Even assuming you are your own person entirely, I don't seem to be able to connect with your world with absolute clarity. Maybe technology can change that. If you are a figment of my imagination, well, I can't tell.
