You are getting downvoted, potentially by your tone, but you raise a very important point. I am still using an i7 of third generation with a nvidia 1050 and 16gb of ram. It moves windows 10 perfectly, and I have been able to play dota2 at medium graphic, and several games, such as the mass effect, bioshock, etc...

I can edit video using old software with no problem, however attempt to do it in davinci is impossible.

There are other software that is painfully slow on my machine.

Also desktop resolution sucks, a lot laptops do not have anything over 1080p or even home monitors, where 1440p should be the norm.

CR-SQLITE is awesome. In my dream parallel universe OS would natively support:
- file
- folder
- pipe
- op-log
and provide primitives to merge op-logs (remove duplicate entries).

Maybe CR-SQLITE could be a gateway, but it feels a bit too high level. E.g. you can't just concatenate two op-logs and leave deduplicate to something else (I might be missing something)

Android version is a roadmap candidate. Baby steps ;)
about youtube... ublock origins = no ads?
Theoretically, yes.

Practically, not anymore: there are block posts on main roads into Germany and they check passports.
I'd argue this would be a lot simpler and cheaper to setup than the byzantine distribution system we currently have in place.

It would also make the economics of streaming viable for the majority of artists rather than the small pool of folk raking in the bulk of the money.

>Perhaps not the thread to discuss.

So you can't deny it's a Ponzi scheme, but you just don't want to discuss it here? But YOU brought it up!

This thread is a FINE place to discuss it, since YOU started the top level thread by shilling your Ponzi scheme here all by yourself, before suddenly trying to cut off the discussion when it didn't go the way you planned, so let's discuss it anyway:

Yes it's a Ponzi scheme on its face (or rather on Fernando Botero's faces ;), and worse yet, it's based on misappropriation of an artist's work, plus you also blatantly infringe on and dilute many trademarks at the same time, for money.

You're not the victim here, so don't try to act hurt that "many around here don't love scarce digital assets" and surprised that "I don't know why you see it as any sort of ponzi". Yes you do know, because it obviously is, and you even tried to make a dishonest weasley disclaimer "I know ... but ..." when you first shilled it here, as if it's wrong and unfair to you that people hate Ponzi schemes and stealing art and infringing and diluting trademarks and shilling on Hacker News.

At the moment, I do not, unfortunately. But that's a topic I definitely intend to further explore when I find the time.
>> We then moved the AI from a simulation to reality and it worked very well. I was an undergraduate at university at the time.

There's tons of work like that (no offense meant) and it never amounts to anything much. If you used Deep RL or imitation learning, or really any of the Big Data, statistical machine learning techniques that are well known, then it wouldn't have worked in practice. Those approaches are extremely unreliable and fail to generalise to new environments robustly enough to be of use in the real world.

The reason why the article above can still ask the question "Have we seen active deployment of killer robots?" is that the question doesn't have a clear answer. If what you did as an undergraduate could really work as well as some people would like, there would be no question left to anyone's mind.

Again, that's not to bash your work. NVIDIA recently announced a new "moonshot" to develop humanoid robots for domestic use. That's because there's no such thing yet. Just a quick glance at the robotics and AI literature should be enough to convince anyone that true artificial autonomy is not yet possible.
I'm not an expert, especially not on the German law. But here's my understanding:

If a UG with 1 euro in share capital has a large equity, low expenses, and is run prudently, then I don't think the CEO/shareholders are personally liable if the UG is sued for a million euros and must pay that?

Both a GmbH and a UG have a "share capital" (Stammkapital). It is at least 25 000 euros for a GmbH, and 1 euro for a UG. On day 1, this is also the equity (Eigenkapital).

If the company makes profits, that will increase the equity. The equity makes it possible to keep spending money for a while even if the cash flow is negative. A 1 euro UG can in theory have 1 million euros in equity.

In both cases, the CEO is legally obligated to start insolvency proceedings immediately if it looks like the company can't pay its bills or loans any more. This is also required if the equity goes below half the share capital (same as in Sweden, "kontrollbalansräkning").

> if the initial Stammkapital for an UG is too low, it then is seen under constant thread of insolvency under the law

I don't think it's that simple? To begin with, it's the equity and the cash flow that matters, not just the Stammkapital (share capital) by itself. A UG can start out with a very low share capital, but if it has no expenses and a positive cash flow, then insolvency is not a risk, right?

If the cash flow suddenly becomes negative, for instance by losing a big client, or the main product suddenly can't be sold any more, then even a GmbH can be under immediate threat of insolvency. The 25 000 euro in share capital is nothing compared to salaries for a bunch of people, plus an office lease agreement that runs for another couple of years, etc.

So if you're operating a GmbH with employees and an office, then I'd say that it can be "seen under constant threat of insolvency" if it only has the share capital available as equity (or worse, just half of it), and the future income is very uncertain. So both a GmbH and a UG can put the CEO in jail if he plays it fast and loose.

I can definitely see how it is easier for a UG to get into insolvency territory, and above all, people running UGs aren't as familiar with the rules and pitfalls.

I could be wrong on some things? I'm interested to learn more in that case.

> The alternative is that every remote worker is a subcontractor and takes care of their own taxes.

In Germany the pension insurance (DRV) will come around after a few years and demand a six digit figure from both your company and the employee, plus interest. You can also end up with criminal charges filed against you.
That 22k limit is only for the small business rule, which allows the choice of not collecting VAT on sales (but on the flip side cannot deduct it on purchases).
Up to a yearly revenue of 0.6M one can also use a simplified profit calculation method for taxes.
But don't they give out a flat % of what they earn from the subscriptions? The low return would mean that either:

a) Spotify doesn't charge enough for a subscription

b) Spotify takes too big of a cut right now from the subscription revenue

c) The model doesn't work as a lot of people from low-income (and low subscription cost) countries are "sucking out" the money that goes mainly from rich ones. So 1 listen from USA = 1 listen from India even though the USA listener pays around 7-8x times more and the subscription income gets divided equally by listens.
Blocky – a DNS proxy and ad-blocker for the local network
And/or something like Amazon Prime Video and how it aggregates its main subscription, ad-driven licensing, VOD and, that's what I'm getting at, hosted third party subscriptions into one UI.

I actually hate that in Prime, because discovery for shows and movies is never a positive experience but a setup chore separate from consumption, and advertising stuff that isn't already paid for always makes it worse. But for music I think it could actually be enjoyable, because you can consume and browse at the same time is actually a thing. Like diving into discogs.com while listening. I could easily see myself listening to some artist's main albums as part of some standard subscription (that pays as badly as spotify?) and then shell out a single digit payment on one hundred pay-per-listen tokens for obscure B-sides from the label that the artist is signed on, or something like that. Or reimplenent radio, by offering a licensing model where what would have been single releases in the olden days are part of the ad based subscription, but album content is only available through purchase or (various?) subscriptions.

Make it a marketplace of monetization models! Perhaps the right company to try this would be someone completely unexpected like cloudflare? Being a blank slate from both consumer and licensor perspective could almost be considered a prerequisite for a project like that...
It's not technically hereditary. But if the job licenses are a finite resource, and the licensee "owns" the license and is allowed to give/sell it to a person of their choice, and the job is reasonably pleasant/profitable... they're very likely to pass it on to their children, unless those children have other plans.

Pharmacies in Italy work much like notaries, although they obviously provide a much more useful service. My understanding is that in part of the US taxis work the same way, with limited # of "medallions" being treated as an investment.
Also no translated documents or notaries needed. They can read English in Denmark, unlike in Germany.
I meant, royalty free music is released/licensed by artists who get paid or are OK not being paid

but with AI whatever consequences there may be their work is highjacked/stolen.
Yep. Last I checked, it still pays 90% royalties to artists, all with a sane interface that is pleasant and just works, and no dark patterns.

Not related to the speed, but is there any terminal for Linux that works like the Mac OSX terminal, in that you can shut it down and restart and it will bring up all the tabs and their cmd histories and scrollbacks for each tab? They do that by setting different bash history files for each tab etc.

And I prefer GUI terminals for this use-case...

It really irks me we don't use a simple analogy for entanglement: put two balls of different colors in two boxes. Randomize the boxes. Take one of the boxes to the other side of the room then open it.

You now know the colour of the ball in the other box.

Yes, just one thing: welcome to the world of selling.

Your new job is salesman. It's a fun job but rejection is tough and your cannot "force success".

Unlike software dev, where you can sit in a room and make something work... your success in sales is dependent on other people.

I have built two firms now. One was purely marketing. the other was marketing tech. And, while my expertise is in marketing and marketing tech (as well as hiring, leading, creating processes and all the other things you need to be a good business owner...)

My main/core skill is selling.

So my question to you is... do you want to be a salesman?

I wish someone asked me this before I started my first business..
Racketeers also typically use the macro system, which is exceptionally robust and sane, for new features. The base language has been very stable for a long time. That's how the typed dialect is implemented, which you can use with ease on a per-file basis in your project where performance is important, and it also supports at least a couple of Scheme standards in the same way.

Another thing that's nice with Racket is that it can produce binaries, and while the cross-compile story is kind of messy the language as such is actually, really, multi-platform. Even the GUI-library, which is quite nice, especially with gui-easy additions.
I think one of the main benefits for more obscure bands to
be on streaming services is discoverability.

In the Discovery weekly and Release Radar you often get bands
I have never heard of.

Also, if someone says "Oh I like this new band xxxxx"
then you can find them on Spotify and see if you like them or not.

Fron that perspective Spotify is a free service for bands to be
discovered and generate more fans.

Yes I do agree that bands should get a bigger piece of the profit pile,
as long as there is a profile pile

Personally, I like bying physical media.
I am not cool enough to buy vinyl, I prefer cds.
Finding places to buy cds is increasingly impossible

The best used to be going to shows and buying cds at the merch desk
or the bands website, but more and more new bands do not even produce
cds anymore. There seems to be more bands doing vinyl.
I guess with the prices they charge that the markup is a lot better.

For now I try to buy digital music and burn it to cd myself.
I would vastly prefer buying physical media directly.

They are better in every regard compared to catting a large file, which is what the OP was complaining about.

Certainly if you want to comprehensively understand terminal emulator performance there are multiple axes along which to measur eit and various tradeoffs involved. But I think nowadays we have much better alternatives to catting large files or running find / both of which have been the go to for measuring terminal performance for most people.
Latency adds up. When I had to work with a not-so-fast monitor (60Hz, mediocre processing and pixel-response lag), it became very apparent to point of annoyance. Using alacritty helped a bit. Our brains adapt quickly but you also notice it when switching frequently between setups. (Monitor or terminal emulators)
So yea, this lets you equate standing on the surface of a given star of X radius, with hovering the same X distance away from a neutron star or black hole of the same mass.

The takeaway is that the cellophane dimple is more warped around the center point, but if, say, our Sun were to suddenly turn into a black hole it wouldn't change anything about our orbit.

I would much rather prefer that my subscription money gets split between niche artist I'm listening to instead of going to Taylor Swift. I assume it's harder to calculate royalties, you can't keep single counter per track, you have to agregate listens within a month for each user. But that doesn't seem insurmountable. Or maybe it is on Spotify scale?

I don't think any subscriber (i.e. people giving them money) would prefer current model over where your money goes directly to who you listen.
Which does not change the fact that the process takes a decade.
Eer… I write like that all the time; specially if the subject is something important to me.

"Big Excursion" happened in 1989. Berlin Wall fell in the same 1989. Does it ring any bells? I'm not sure why one would claim stuff happened in a Second World country in 1989 is not a part of its transition period. Ethnic cleansings in Yusgoslavia and ex-USSR republics were also nigh or already started to happen.

I'm still apt to hear the comparison between repressiveness of pre-1989 democratic, capitalistic, NATO member Turkey and that of pre-1989 socialist Bulgaria.

This is literally their current business model. Large music distributors pay for streams, the songs rise up the charts, people see the songs. If that’s not advertising I don’t know what is.
It really amazes me how tech companies like Spotify manage to disrupt an entire industry, but fail to find a sustainable business model that makes them profitable. This is far from sustainable and it makes the world worse. There really should be laws that limit how much losses a company may generate during their "disruption" of existing markets.

:) Yeah, nothing illegal ever happens.

Was this in Sweden? In that case, I have heard of cases where a condo that someone bought had an unknown bank loan taken out against it.

The bank loan is still attached to the condo even if it changes owners. The bank can force you to sell the condo to pay the loan back to the bank.

You can then turn around and sue the previous owner who took out the loan. Good luck with that.

I don't think this happens very often and usually the condo association knows which loans are taken out against which condos.
