I think that says more about your local supermarket than the availability of the product. Nu-Salt has been available for years at most supermarkets. Although I will say that my closet grocery store only has the 50% stuff and not the fully sodium free stuff.
> the aesthetic flattening that results from conditioning the audience to listen to music passively

I disagree with this assertion and find it cynical. The golden age of radio was a far more 'aesthetic flattening' experience. And yet we wax nostalgic about it all the time. I think there are good things that come about from less than ideal situations. Back then there were next to zero ways for your art to get noticed, but on the flip side the shared experience of having only a handful of 'hit' songs still had its merits.

These days distribution costs have all but disappeared, so the barriers to being heard are far lower than ever before. Yes greasy corps like Spotify will continue trying to take their cut from every angle possible even if it dilutes the pool, but that's nothing new. So instead of making no money and being heard by no one, bands continue making no money but people actually have a chance of discovering their music. SoundCloud, YouTube, streaming services... it has never been easier to find and listen to music.

Consequently have we ever had a time of more diverse musical tastes? I don't think so.
Eh, nah, that’s a ‘definitely not’, tbh.

There was never a ban like this on the master-slave terminology. A lot of places started moving away from those terms, but plenty of others just kept the old naming. There was no top-down directive from the federal government like there is here - I don't think it's fair to compare them as if they are equivalent situations. This is heavy-handed in a way that makes peer pressure look completely benign in comparison.

I think smoking cigarettes went way down in the US and other parts of the world. Sure, people still use them but the overall downward trend is good and that is because something was done about it.
I meant price wise. VTI is almost $300 per share.
That’s a super good point.

Part of the issue is that ID’s are expensive. When I moved from one state to another a couple years ago, a new driver’s license was $50. There’s a long history of poll taxes used for voting suppression in the US, so any kind of pay-to-vote concept is tough. (The easy answer, of course, is to make ID issuance free.)

Then there’s the issue that states have widely different levels of competence regarding ID issuance. The REAL ID Act [0] required states to start issuing IDs based on more robust requirements by 2008. That deadline has been delayed through 2025, and is likely to get pushed back again.

When I lived in Kentucky (stereotypically poor and rural), there was a major issue that birth certificates were handwritten and never digitized, and existing driver’s licenses had been issued based on what you claimed your name was. When they started validating birth certificates as a part of REAL ID, people ran into issues when the name they had been using for their whole life didn’t match what was handwritten on their birth certificate.

Basically, identity documents are local (and often hyper-local; my own birth certificate is certified by my county, not even my state). Dragging the whole country into something resembling modernity is a major project that will exclude big chunks of people that are otherwise “responsible”.

Making the right to vote dependent on that whole system happening to work out OK for you just doesn’t seem like a good idea.

The original comment was referring to human tastemakers in contrast to algorithmically generated playlists.

It's this segment that I would have high doubts to have decreased even with the prevalence of infinite playlists.

That's not the important risk here.

The important risk is a runaway executive that feels completely unconstrained by law, with the blessing of both other branches of government. Today, it's blocking members of the legislature from entering government buildings and is unilaterally shutting down an agency that exists on a directive of Congress.

Tomorrow, will it carry out any legislature that congress passes?

The purpose of this standard is to replace Google's FCM push notifications so that you can receive push notifications on a mobile device for a bunch of services while only needing to maintain a single low-overhead connection.

This exists to improve battery life and decrease data usage for android users who don't use google services or prefer to host their own. And generally it exists to provide a standardised, independent, privacy preserving option for users and app developers.

Neither RSS nor email solve this problem and actually this specific service would be the exact type of service you'd use to notify the user's device that the apps that use RSS or email have new content to fetch.

Yeah exactly, and this is a commonly used trick in concurrent data structures in general.

Fantastic question. Our opinion on this is that the higher-bandwidth we can make the communication, the more useful it will be. The reason we've moved from IRC->VoIP->Video is because of the efficiency of information transfer and additionally the empathic element of face-to-face conversation.

From the technical side, speech to speech models have more potential for accuracy (no explicit ASR, no audio->text information loss). We have a few options on mimic'ing nonverbal elements - we could decide when to naturally mix in the original audio, or train our end to end model to handle those nonverbal audio chunks. We'll be trying both but likely the first option on the sooner side!
I can't find the video. Is there one? or more information about the project?

And if we're talking about war, perhaps a "recapitalization" of firefighting and disaster relief would be a thing to invest in before warship construction.
