I lived in France, in China and now in Germany.
I would say that somehow, France and Germany are quite similar, it's just that one suck more than another on specific areas and vice-versa.
The net salary is somehow higher in Germany but the amount of subsidies you can get from the state is lower also so it's pretty much the same.
I prefer the decentralized aspect of Germany (unlike France where everything is just centralized in Paris and the rest is just Silent Hill) and also the fact that you can just live without a car.
From France I prefer the more liberal views on "What the state consider to be a family" which is light years ahead of Germany. This said, if you are a married couple with children, you'll get more money from the state in Germany I believe. I believe that Germany is more suitable for mid-40's traditional family, younger/wilder that that, it can be quite boring.

But all of this is just child play compared to how easy things are in China in terms of settle down (based on the experience of someone who has a job with a local company).
I am tired of the pretentious western europe politics/administration point of view that immediately ranks everything (including good ideas) coming from Asia/global South as "not transposable to Europe" or just "not as good as our ways".
> I used to strongly believe that all humans are intellectually 100% equal.

I'm curious as to how you ever arrived at that conclusion. It seems manifestly obvious to most people, even children, that some people are really smart, some people are quite stupid, and most lie somewhere in the middle.
it's not up to Spotify to decide what I do with that. What if I use it to pay a sub for some app I like and helps me create music? Then Spotify is taking value away from 2 Indies, not just one.
Delaware is a popular state for incorporation in the United States due to its favorable corporate laws and established legal precedents. A C-Corporation (C-Corp) is a type of business structure that is a separate legal entity from its owners (shareholders). Shareholders have limited liability, and the corporation itself pays taxes on its profits. This is different from an LLC, where the owners report the profits and losses on their individual tax returns.
> They all seem to go from ideologically driven to MBA driven

OT but, is there a public database of how many MBAs (as a %-age of workforce) are employed by various public companies ? It would be a helpful guide to companies to avoid.
One of the best audio books I've listened to.
Yes I understand the difference. Expats may also stay on retirement or marriage/family visas with no intention of immigrating, or they may work at an overseas office for their employer. Expats generally settle in for the long-term as residents.

The word "nomad" means someone with no permanent home base who moves from place to place. Digital nomad refers to a person who travels frequently or full-time, working online from anywhere. DNs usually travel on tourist visas, staying a few weeks to a few months, then moving on. Tourist visas (including visa on arrival and visa waiver) have short durations and do not allow working. Recognizing that the digital nomad lifestyle mainly attracts well-off westerners some countries introduced visas designed to keep the more affluent nomads in the country longer (thus the income/savings requirements) and collect at least some taxes from them.
Seems silly. The reason they have that problem is that their logic for funneling subscription revenue to streams is broken. This won't fix that fundamental problem. You can still use Spotify to scam money out of the system.
Hi ohans, thanks for your kind comment!

I've released the website in Japan (which is my home country) earlier, so removing the registration process is bit tricky.

However, you can try major features such as card view or company page. Happy to hear some feedback for that as well ;)

Wow very cool that you got to open source this, thanks!
Is price a factor? Google Drive and iCloud are more expensive than using raw storage from a Cloud services provider, like AWS or GCP.
That's the anti-trust thing.

If Google still wanted to "don't be evil" they'd switch to a license that requires OEMs to allow the user to install custom Android forks on the device.
No I'd like my subscription (which I canceled due to the new UI and new ToS) should go only to the artists I listen to, proportionally to the amount of minutes played.
German whining is one of the reasons why I'm glad I've left Germany, but now I've just realized that this is exactly what whiny German abroad would say.
there is lot of interesting stuff that could be measured here. Valves Gamescope is supposed to be this low-latency compositor, so it might be interesting to compare to more typical desktop compositors. Similarly testing VRR could have interesting results
Or "rip" or "sound off" on them even. After all, they've been issued a FINAL WARNING.
The comic does not make sense for iTunes, since if you buy music from Apple, you get the non DRM file that is yours to use however you want.
> just their ability to create outcomes

Attila, Alexander, Hitler, Stalin ... those guys got things done.

"Outcomes" need to be morally qualified.
Price isn't a factor (happy to a few hundred bucks a year for safekeeping of files/memories).

The reason I prefer google drive / iCloud is (I think) they have backups so if a truck or a comet hits one of their data centers, my files probably won't be lost.

Whereas I don't think that's true of S3. Perhaps someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think with AWS/GCP it's up to the user to manage redundancy.
It is strange because as a Brit living in Finland there are a for sure a lot of things better in Finland when it comes to public services but renewing ID documents and setting up companies absolutely aren’t.
I remember the heated discussions in the Toptal.com Slack group where some very vocal Ukrainian members were arguing for a total exclusion of all Russians from the platform, wherever they might live. Fun times.
I don't get that service. How are they able to do it much faster than yourself?
You can, but the game isn’t to drive the abuse to 0. It’s about to bring it down, and hope abusers find an easier target to extract money from. It’s the same concept as “why would you steal a secured bike, when there’s an unsecured one right next to it”, and hope you’re the one who secured yours.
There's no such thing as reviews in the place I've been growing up, where you'd get antibiotics for basically a sneeze, and can even buy them yourself in the pharmacy (weekends, because your doctor won't be around). But reactions or not, bugs will definitely build a resistance over time, which won't be a problem if you stay lucky.
> Back to torrenting I guess.

Or just buy it on bandcamp friday and give it all to the artists :)
Mrs Chippy has a pretty interesting Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs_Chippy
I believe the issue boils down to qwerty-hjkl become workman-yneo. hjkl don't have _meaning_, it's all about their specific location on the keyboard. So if yneo is now left/down/up/right, you now need to do something else for yank/next/end/open.
I spend £17 a month on Spotify. If all I do is listen to “Bob Bobson sings Bob Bob Bob”, then my £17, minus commission (1%, 5%, 30%, whatever), should go entirely to Bob Bobson

That’s not how Spotify works. Instead a lot of it goes to Taylor Swift, who I don’t listen to.
This is where I first learned to program. the manual for MS-DOS 3.1 I think it was came with instructions for the debugger and assembler, and how you could create programs.
Superbe site, je l'aime beaucoup. Quel boulot.
The mechanism there is kind of "dontcareism": yes, indie musicians will go away, but Spotify doesn't care, because ultimately this won't stop listeners from using it, over time most of them will forget what they really wanted
Some wannabe treacherous tyrants didn't like that being said out loud.
China has 0.07%, France 10.3%, and Germany 18% immigrants. It's obvious how this explains the difference and why no lessons can be learned from Chinese bureaucracy about how to deal with immigrants.

They have been able to buy the individual song for $1 to $2 for a long time.
That’s not quite what the article linked says. If anything is done it could be years. It’s also unclear if they have any price per stream in mind and how they even think it should be calculated on an ongoing basis.

Sounds pretty early stage
I'm not saying it's bad, but as usual with legislation it's too little and too late.

The problem is that Spotify is the only one that really works well on Foss with libspotify / spotify-qt.

All the others don't have clients for my OS and I don't have DRM in my browser which they require.

And no ads/payment whatsoever. Purely volunteer-run, for the fun of writing/reviewing.
I used Gnome for years, then switched to sway and alacritty 2 years ago and honestly I can't tell any difference. I guess this is just like high end audio equipment, my ears/eyes are not tuned to the difference.
Or, "migrate from cloud to cloud"

If someone is fully embedded into the AWS eco, and want to move... I havent seen a good solution for this yet. It's also hard to do because the answer to "move to what" will be different. Just a thought.

BTW, I am an early startup selling to startups. I am curious: how do you sell to enterprise? how does that even work?
Oh no this person again.

The academia sucks, but people like her are a large part of the reason. People who aren't in it to advance human knowledge, but to build a career for themselves.
IMO the problem is that Spotify is fundamentally breaking the "spirit" of the deal that allowed them to get in the position they are right now.

Spotify's entire promise was "we solve the music inequality problem by just pooling all subscriber money together and then we do an equal(-ish, record labels iirc got slightly different deals) split depending on how many people listen to your music." It kinda sells the idea that if you're just popular enough, you can make it big on Spotify. Of course practically that's been a lie for ages (numbers showcased that only the top 0.1% could afford to live off of Spotify alone, and all those songs are owned by the established record companies anyway), so you could say this is just dispensing with the charade to avoid transaction costs.

I do wonder about the ripple effect this could cause for indie artists; Spotify just told them to go fuck themselves and there's pretty much no incentive to use Spotify anymore now that they pulled this stunt.

If you want to support artists directly, it's still always better to just buy the albums. Most of them have Bandcamp pages and for now, Bandcamp provides a good deal (and as a customer you can just download the FLAC files).
tbh the on-disk storage format is pretty irrelevant, its all just bits and bytes on disk anyways. for many cases you can consider source text a serialization of ast; no matter how you store it you still need to parse the data somehow. Sure some formats are easier to parse than others (hello sexprs), but that is just minor perf aspect, conceptually its all the same.

this closely relates to the missing type discussion, there is no universal "tree" type, and as such it is also difficult to construct any universal "ast" type; different uses need trees structured in different ways: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39592444
Apple was able to manage this with a much bigger market and a lot more apps (when transitioning to OS X), so while it would be hard, I think Palm could have been able to do that as well.

But as you say, the company structure, market position and a lot more worked against them (same thing with Nokia and Symbian).
They dont have to have unlimited. They only need to be more than effective for their nukes to wipe American off the planet. Say 8K nukes delivered to USA with 95% effective detonation, while USA deliver just 30% effectiveness. And that is probably only less than 2K can be launched (30% out of 2K against a target area twice American size). Americans weapon effectiveness are at joke level these days. Russians will rewrite human civilizations and Americans will only be a minor Russian history footnote 200 years from now. And we havnt count in Indians and Chinese making Americans 300M truly irrelevant in future global populations even with nuke wars happening. Dont believe me, look at Solyndra competiting against Chinese solar panel. They are gone and no one even remember much. Or how about Segway? You probably know Xiaomi and Ninebot more. Motorola? A lot of Americans corporations now erased from public memory and dominated by Chinese one. American culture also significantly reduced compare to what it was in the heydays of 70s.
I just had some friends visit on the way to their home country, after spending 4 months traveling through Spain.

They liked Spain a lot, but the first comment they made when we went for a walk was how clean the streets and the surroundings where.

Your cleanliness mileage may vary per Land, I guess.
I'd wager the income from playing gigs would be substantially lower if you weren't on Spotify.
Poor Boeing. They just can't catch a break...
I hope this doesn't affect Matt Farley[1] too badly, as it seems like he relies on having many songs with only a few streams each as his main strategy for generating income from Spotify.

I once commissioned a Mother's Day song from him -- sent him 10 facts about my Mom and our family and he came back a few days later with a funny and charming little tune. Best $30 I've ever spent.

Doing better manufacturing and selling EVs outside China than the rest of the entire auto industry?

OK.
Yeah. I was just happy to have something for macOS.

Nice addition by GP, anyway :-)
Weird to think that Amazon's kindle format used to be based on .mobi, itself based on the Palm's database file type.
Probably some dark pattern where they hide the actual price for just youtube music and show you the subscription for a bundle of services you don't want...
I have a few thousand of streams per month and I make pennies from it. It's not like I care about being demonetized on spotify and losing a few pennies.
AFAIK Prague (and Bohemia) had a sizeable german speaking minority until the end of WW2 when they got expelled, so Prague not feeling Austrian today isn't surprising.
Those tend to say things like "This benchmark is not sufficient to get a general understanding of the performance of a terminal emulator. It lacks support for critical factors like frame rate or latency. The only factor this benchmark stresses is the speed at which a terminal reads from the PTY."

So although those tests may be more extensive, they're not "better" in every regard.

Of course it's perfectly reasonable to want a benchmark that people can run without needing to build any custom hardware.
Another Boeing incidence. There should be a statistics page somewhere where incidences are marked on some graph or chart showing engine manufacturers airplane manufacturers airlines etc. if any exist would like to see such a page.
Discovery is a solved problem same as how signal uses phone numbers: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007061452-Do...

Nothing stops you from implementing a similar mechanism based on email addresses.
Alas, if only there was a way to reduce the risk of these happening...
It’s almost like they had systemic issues with their quality control.
Hey, I'm the author. Glad you enjoyed the post!

I don't have any results for Windows or macOS yet unfortunately. I wanted to run these tests on Windows eventually, and include things like cmd.exe and the Windows Terminal. Maybe when I get around to re-benchmarking a wider range of terminals. Mac would certainly be interesting to include, but I don't have access to any of those.
I highly recommend trying Qobuz!
Artists are paid more, the catalog is rich and comprehensive (I recommend to early users who might have felt a lack of content to give it another try, as it's now much richer), most albums are available in Hi-Res Audio, the UI is nice, there is no fluff (just music, nothing more), and most importantly, content is curated, with many articles written by critics and journalists, artist interviews, and, for each album, a small review or a piece of text informing about the album's significance. Compared to the awesome but "industrial" recommendation system of Spotify, this is something more personal and curated which, in my opinion, better helps to understand some music genres.
If you want to try this without any setup, https://try.diffoscope.org/ is a nice web interface to it.
I hope this is sarcasm cause in no way Boeing is ‘poor’. There is a duopoly of aircraft and doesn’t matter what reputation Boeing gets, the orders will keep coming in. If your airline cancels an order 5 others are waiting to take your spot.
Addendum for others who read your comment, gmx.de is just a free email provider like gmail that is very popular in Germany.
I hear taylor swift is a billionaire. Is she on Spotify?
2̶7̶ 0 days since last boeing-falling-apart incident.
Maybe they should do some more stock buybacks and then ask the fed for a bailout.

Boeing are a welfare company - they would not exist without their close relationship with the government and the taxpayer dollars that are funnelled to them.

Competent competition would eat them alive, if competition were permissible in the land of the free (for some, not for you) markets.
>Test Setup #

>I did all tests on this system:

> Lenovo Legion 7 Gen 7 AMD with Ryzen 7 6800H CPU and Radeon RX 6700M dGPU (using the dGPU exclusively via the MUX switch).

> Monitor: Acer Nitro XV320QU, 2560×1440, 144 Hz, using 100% scale.

OK you can send these tests to the trashbin as this is so unrepresentative of what most users are using.

This is sometimes infuriating. A year ago, I installed linux on my partner's computer, her HDD running windows had died.

Things were seemingly working fine until I realized some apps (dnfdragora comes to mind) were unusable on her 1366x768 with 1.x ratio as they take way too much screen estate. I think worldwide there are still more than 20% of desktop users using screen resolutions with less than 768px of height and around 50% of user with less than 900px of height.

I have not issue developpers using decent machines to develop, but when it comes to testing performance and usability they should also do it on that +10y old entry level laptop they probably still have sitting somewhere in a storage area. Or buy an old netbook for 20 bucks for that specific use.
Even worse like 90% of the money comes from paid users, but most of the streams comes from free users with ads.

Some some barber shop is playing drake 24/7 having ads and 16£ of you 17£ are going to drake because you only listened to Bob bobson 20 minutes today instead of 23 hours:59 minutes like the barber shop.

The pay model is ridiculous, every update is terrible and there is no mechanism to let the company know they are running the product into the ground. It used to be heaven for power users,now if they simplify it any more the app will just pick what it thinks you should listen to, give the money to ed sheeran regardless of what you end up listening to and not even let you pause cause an extra button might be too complicated for you.
A combination of Covid, and the security situation with Ukraine and Russia perhaps.
Everybody always forgets about UDF...
It’s not just about the money. It’s about the exposure! If you’re not a big band you’re making money from touring. More people listening and discovering you online = more people attending your tours and maybe reaching a threshold where you can make good money
lol. Tidal, the guys that tried to sell us snake oil like MQA.

That said you sound like a Meridian shill.
Can you see how many streams an artist has?

I'm generally happy to let Spotify stream whatever for background noise, but it looks like I should play some local bands manually once in a while.
Wallace never gets due credit. Darwin did give him credit - e.g. referring to "our theory" in a letter to him.

There are probably multiple reasons for this. I can think of multiple reasons Darwin was more appealing to people. Wallace was religious, and he was not racist (not that Darwin was any worse than most of his time, but Wallace was different).

It was not always so: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-21549079

There are a number of people who came close to the idea including Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin's grandfather.
That's only throughput, but on latency it's significantly slower than alacritty, xterm, st etc according to all measurements I've seen.
The distinction between "first order" and "second order" is in the first instance a distinction at the level of formal languages. A second order language has more complicated syntax and semantics: it allows variables in predicate position, which (in the standard semantics) take values from the entire powerset of the underlying domain.

This makes second order languages, including the language of arithmetic, much more expressive: they can distinguish models that first order languages can't. Those infinitely many non-isomorphic models of arithmetic expressed in a first order language can be distinguished, and excluded, as models of arithmetic expressed in a second order language. That's why second order arithmetic is categorical: all of its models are isomorphic.

Yes, a model of second order arithmetic contains a model of first order arithmetic, but within the second order language, you can say "which model it is" (up to isomorphism). It's only if you restrict yourself to a first order language that you can no longer say anything which will be true in that model, but false in any non-isomorphic one.

By the time of him writing this, totalitarianism killed 50 million people. After he wrote this, totalitarianism killed tens of millions more. Right now totalitarianism kills hundreds of thousands and is very likely on path to kill millions. So looks like he was on point with his math, again.
