As opposed to paying $5 to a singular composer that only exists because of other real composers, singers, etc., as they studied the craft. On the other hand, the easy access may cause new types of artists to appear by lowering the bar of entry, or just make custom music more generally available and more widely used as the price makes it a commodity.

We also stopped hiring computers (the occupation) and instead pay big tech companies which made computers (the device) available to everyone. And we stopped hiring people to do dangerous manual labor as companies started selling machinery to automate it. Markets change.

You need permission to write software and distribute for modern platforms. This is very disincentivizing .. not so when you've got a compiler/assembler onboard everywhere and can just ship without permission from MegaCorp...
If you store the latest state on your server it would load instantly, and you would not be wasting electricity by repeating the work on all your users’ devices. Using artistic flourishes to cover up bad engineering is decidedly not brutal: brutalism is all about the engineering itself being the artistic flourish.
Australia "what countries have you been to and when" is fun, if you have traveled a bit. I thought being to Tunisia during arab spring and China and Russia might be issues! Overall it was hours of paperwork. Wife's grandmothers maiden name kinda crap in there too IIRC. Upside is Citizenship was relatively easy after this (because you have done PR already). Just had to learn some stuff about what happens in Canberra :-).

With S3, the default is for the data to be replicated across Availability Zones. Each AWS region is comprised of at least three Availability Zones. Each AZ can be thought of as a distinct data center, each one a few kilometers away from each other. So if you store your data in the Northern California region of AWS, it would take a major natural disaster to pose a risk to your data. S3 also offers replication from one region to another (eg Northern California to Northern Virginia).

My view is that Google Drive and iCloud will cost significantly more, but that is getting you a nice web interface where you can see your files. And maybe other features like sync’ing. Also, customer support.

I like AWS S3 because I trust my data is more secure there and it is much cheaper. I also trust the durability of s3, not sure that Google Drive or iCloud discloses so openly how they replicate data or if they have an SLA like S3. But S3 takes some technical knowledge to understand how to manage things in a cost effective way. And you won’t get help from AWS support unless you pay for a support plan.
This is the exact point that confused me a lot (and still confuses me) when I tried to read the "The Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics" : "Hey, let's just fix/define the lagrangian as T - V and you'll see that after some magical math stuff in the following chapter, we'll find back newtonian equations. Trust me for now".

If anyone has a reference/book/paper that allows you to learn this concept more intuitively, I'd be grateful.
So by your definition a real artist should have more than 1000 plays. I listen to small artist from my country which will probably never reach a global audience and they definitely do not get 1.000 plays but are verified artists according to spotify. This policy basically drives more drivel music and leaves out alternative and indie bands. It's a bad policy that needs an investigation by the authorities to force Spotify not to discriminate smaller artists.
You're assuming every artist lives in a first world country. The problem seems a lot more severe under a more general lens.

> Calling into system calls in libc is not a hindrance at all for the use of other languages, any more than calling directly into a syscall would be.

I would say that it is a hindrance though. It's a hindrance even for relatively straight forward C code. You cannot for example use clone and expect the libc to continue working.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10311

> If you use clone() you're on your own.

These libraries are the problem, not the solution. They're full of static global data which will get clobbered whenever you do anything more complicated than I/O. They use thread local variables for returning errors codes. It's bad legacy stuff.

The court is a system of government. It's one of the three main components of modern government. Its tasks include making the other components obey the laws.

That a court makes a legislature obey the laws that were written by that same legislature sounds odd at first, but it makes sense. The law is to apply equally to everyone, including me and whoever has my job in five or ten years, even if the law was written by me.

It comes up fairly often in major and minor ways. An organisation I'm a member of is affected by it right now — a current government doesn't like a law that was enacted years ago by other political parties, and didn't want to issue a permit until lawyers talked legalspeak.

Notaries often have a list of available shells and can set you up quickly. That's what we did, so talk to your notary. Another way is to use a specialized service like [1].

The relevant keywords for research are "Vorratsgesellschaft" or "Mantelgesellschaft". The former are empty companies with no business activity, the latter are older companies with business history but inactive now. Mantelgesellschaften are nice because they bring a credit history along making stuff like leasing easier but cause a little bit more effort at time of purchase.

I have roughly 25-30 tracks on Spotify.

They send me a monthly email detailing the number of plays I received as an artist, and it averages around 300.

So each track is getting around 10 plays per month.

So none of them come anywhere close to the minimum threshold.

I made around $10/year from Spotify plays, it's a pittance, but over all the streaming platforms I would get enough for a new plugin each year, this makes it "worthwhile".

I absolutely will not allow Spotify to have content on their platform without reimbursement.

The only people losing from this are the handful of fans who like my music.

AFAICT, Japan has the easiest immigration for skilled professionals, by far. However, this has been the case for less than 10 years, as they totally revamped their immigration laws in the 2010s sometime to try to attract more such people, so of course it's going to take time to see the difference. Japan is also somewhat difficult for foreigners to live in because of the language barrier, but Germany isn't that different here: in my experience as a tourist there, it's nothing like Netherlands where everyone and their dog speaks perfect English. In Germany, the college-educated people generally speak it quite well, everyone else, you're lucky if they know any at all, and it seems like you won't do well living there if you can't speak the language. In Japan, it just depends on your company: a lot of people here have lived here for years or decades and still don't speak Japanese, because their job is in English. German is probably easier for European-language speakers to learn though.
Never realized concepts implied you can have multiple default constructors, that's hilarious. This is still a useful feature though. People complain a lot about C++ corner cases, but this is one you would probably never hit in real code, and `requires` clauses does a lot to clarify type requirements and provide better error messages (instead of getting a ten page template stack trace ending in some extremely cryptic type requirement for some nested class, you just get a short error message at the require site, explaining why a certain type isn't valid).
Anti semitism is not a core or a common ingredient of what we historically define as fascist governments.

Spain under Franco and Portugal under Salazar did not persecute Jews, in fact allowed them safe passage from Vichy France.

Italy really turned antisemitic after more than a decade with the alliance with Germany to appease Hitler mostly. There's a nice book on the topic, in Italian, "Mussolini Razzista Riluttante" by Antonio Spinosa.

realise there's no sustainable demand?

that’s BS and in no way solving their very real bot problem. This wasn’t reported on worldwide, but here in Germany, it got some press due to local hip-hop labels being involved.

Malicious labels use click farms to push up the numbers on their artists, either by manipulating all platforms or locking their artist into Spotify.

This, in addition to other forms of manipulation such as playlists-aaS, isn’t just a ploy to promote their music. As long as farming clicks is cheaper that the payout rate, they can get paid for laundering illicit gains that way.

>I've never understood why HN karma can't be a proxy for the kind of behavior one should expect on lobsters.

Because karma doesn't actually indicate what it's meant to. People don't just upvote comments for their intellectual quality and civility, nor do they downvote comments just for their rudeness and banality. All karma really measures is interaction over time, and high karma if anything is a sign that someone has nothing more productive to do than hang out here.

The goal is advertise their AI tooling under the guise of being a helpful list, so they're incentivized to make other tools look immature rather than be up to date.

Start with a "Einzelunternehmung". Registering that takes 15 to 30 minutes at your local mayors office and costs 30 Euro. From there on you can make something like 20k Euro turnover per year, if you grow out of that, you can still "invest" in a GmbH or whatever suits your needs best.

On the other hand, if you are sure that you're building the next Facebook, getting the money for a GmbH together on day -1 should be no problem at all. It turns out that most companies don't make it that far, though...

Denigrating democracy is not bad in any way; first, democracy is the least worst system that we have, that does not make it good. Second, permanent criticism is required for the health of any system that has the potential to go wrong.

I don't get it. Why does Intel have the power to remove him from any position at all?
Key points of the settlement, taken from the court document. Note: IANAL, these are just what seem important to me:

- Google must rewrite its disclosures to tell users that it collects private browsing data.

- For ... data pre-dating the disclosure changes, Google must delete or remediate all entries that might contain users' at-issue private browsing data. ["remediate" is later defined as "delete information that makes private browsing data identifying".]

- Google must maintain [the] default of blocking third-party cookies within Incognito mode for five years.

- Google must delete all four of the identified private browsing detection bits. These were the detection bits that Google was sanctioned for concealing during discovery. Google has further agreed to no longer ... track any private browsing.

So: Google gets rapped on the knuckles, but suffers no real damages from their behavior beyond loss of the data. Which isn't even a complete loss, because (a) the data only has to be "remediated", and (b) there is nothing stopping them from mining whatever they want from the data before doing that.
My family actually pay for both. So we get two backups of our photos & videos. We did that just in case big tech decides to ban us for some random reason.
Which is ultimately more dangerous, because somewhat believable.

> It's not worth anyone's time to know how it works under the hood

Knowing (at a high level) how your programming language implements dictionaries has relevance to questions like time complexity of various operations, potential security vulnerabilities (a hash table might succumb to hash collision denial of service, especially if the implementation isn’t hardened against that possibility; a tree-based implementation probably won’t have that vulnerability), likely impact of different bugs (e.g. a buggy hash method can cause much more problems on a hash table than on a tree, while for a buggy comparison method it is the other way around), concurrency, etc

> because only a fool would actually implement one from scratch in production code

I’ve implemented a dictionary before in C. Not for work (only wrote C code for work one single time ever, and it was only a page worth of code that was called from Java, no complex data structures needed), just for my own learning/amusement. That said, C is probably the one context in which people still commonly “roll their own” basic data structures, even in production code, just because C’s standard library is so weak in that regard (and C’s lack of generics/templates doesn’t help either)
>Again, I think that calculating LVT is highly problematic.

It isn't possible to calculate the tax with 100% accuracy, but that doesn't mean it is problematic to calculate with a close enough approximation. The process of multivariate analysis is relatively simple, relies upon public data, can be open sourced and is self correcting over time (with the addition of new data via sales).

It's also absolutely impossible to avoid. $0 needs to be spent on enforcement. You can't cart land off to a tax haven. If you don't pay you forfeit the land and property - simple. You don't need legions of forensic tax accountants to uncover a trail of transactions like you would for income taxes. You don't need arbitrary rules about where somebody's main residence is. You don't need elaborate machine learning models to detect VAT carousel fraud.

You need a bunch of publicly available data and a very simple model.
I was directly responding to the implicit question about 'sustainable regeneration of farmland', where you added '(whatever that means) '.

I explained one common sustainable regeneration method, and I touch why it meets the required elements of regeneration and sustainability.

Worth noting that only a few weeks ago an Airbus A330 had a very similar engine-panel-coming-off issue, which I'm 99.9% sure you hadn't heard about at all until I pointed it out to you - unlike this incident, which will have hundreds of articles and blog posts written about it.

A record label is probably much more of a VC than it is an employer.

The business has changed since streaming and self publishing but the labels took bets on artists and gave them expensive recording studios and marketing dollars, gave them some basic money, and in return took the majority of rights to the first few albums.

They also knew that if the artist truly made it big they would likely go to a different label where they could get better terms or start their own where they’d keep all the money after the initial contract which drove their side higher.

The record label model clearly doesn’t work as well in modern days but it was successful for good reasons at the time it really flourished.
Except this is not entirely true.

The shape of gravitational field only differs within the body. The shape outside of the perfectly spherical body will be exactly the same regardless of how the mass is distributed (whether it is all on the surface or all in the middle of it).

Or in other words, if you are on the surface of the sun, you will feel exactly the same acceleration as if entire mass of the sun was concentrated in its center.

The only time you feel the difference is if you dip into the sun. As you go deeper and deeper, the pull from all the mass that is further from the center than you are will perfectly nullify each other. As you go deeper and deeper into the sun you will feel less acceleration.
https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.

They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

Any single issue can be addressed, but this is a meta issue.

There’s overhead to a more detailed specification. Creating it takes time and people need to read and understand it, then you need someone to inspect the results to keep someone honest. It remove flexibility, and even tiny changes require large updates to the specification when then need to be reviewed etc.

So simply adding details to a specification inherently reduces efficiency.
