Indeed. Free streaming of all songs, and the price is often cheaper than elsewhere since the profit margin for musicians is greater (Bandcamp takes 15% [1]). Also the fact that there are multiple formats to choose from (mp3,flac, ...) is a big plus. The only downside is the lack of any major label/big names (which for me I don't mind, but the general population does mind).

Perhaps each month of Spotify premium should include "early access" credits to use for immediate access to a particular newly released album. This money goes to the label, and users can purchase additional credits if they wish.

The other option, if Spotify is looking to play a little more dirty, is that they can have albums withheld in this manner bypass the "new release" page on the basis that they are no longer newly released. This would reduce marketing, play count, and thus payout to the artist.
Lambda is the standard symbol used to represent functions (coming from the lambda calculus). Since the purpose of this architecture is to compute arbitrary functions on arbitrary data, and since the internals of the architecture make heavy use of pure functions (batch view is a pure function of all data, and queries are pure functions of the precomputed views), "Lambda Architecture" seemed like an appropriate name.
The record is definitely available on both Spotify UK and AUS, but as far as I can tell only half of it can be streamed if you haven't purchased the mp3's elsewhere.
The prosecution decided that the evidence they had was not sufficient to meet the required standard.

>It's incredibly difficult to figure out how much it costs, because none of the rent-to-own websites will give you a price.

Pricing is different per-location too.

Depending on what you're using these outfits for, it can work out (he that's well paid is will satisfied and all that..), but for the most part, you're paying a lot of extra money for the privilege of getting a pretty decent replacement plan (both Aarons and RAC to my knowledge will replace broken appliances/electronics/furniture while on lease) and spreading the total payments due across a large period.

Whether that's worth it or not to you will depend on the person, really. I'd hardly classify them as predatory, or skeevy, or even really a rip off, just very, very expensive.

Actually looking through the article, all of the companies involved in this clusterf*ck are companies I've never heard of. None of the big names, at least.
New pricing strategy: the low-end tier is metered.

That's also a big argument in favor of formulating seat-based pricing models as blocks as opposed to per seat. It reduces the update frequency.

Intel was pushing their Larrabee architecture as the answer for a while.
So learning Hadoop can be split up into several pieces:

1. Learning the idea of Map-Reduce. This is fairly easy and you could browse through the original research paper and figure that out.

2. Learning the weird, wild animal called Hadoop (with its multiple API clusterfuck). This is going to be much harder. Presuming you know Java, the first thing you want to do is get a Cloudera VM (because you don't really want to spend time learning how to install hadoop at first) and start figuring out how to build Word Count inside the VM. This should give you some insight (not much though) in how the API works.

3. Figure out more complicated stuff you want to do with Hadoop and start working on it. Get a copy of Tom White's Hadoop book (From what I remember six months back, the API was hopelessly outdated but the ideas are awesome) and Jimmy Lin's book on text processing with Map Reduce ( http://lintool.github.com/MapReduceAlgorithms/ ). Personally, I loved Jimmy's book not because of the machine learning content but because of the design patterns for Hadoop that he had embedded in there.

The poor guy must have gone through some serious mental gymnastics to arrive at that conclusion. I'd be interested how he arrived there.

Seriously. We are righly afraid of out-of-control police, and that's why these are on a tight leash (at least in theory and before the Patriot Act) and need a warrant before they can gather evidence that is admissible in court. But private entities seem to be allowed to play by looser rules, and that's how we end up in Lower Meirion.
If that is true, then in a multicultural or multi-religion group no rights exist at all after time passes. Because in such a group the only possible rights would be lowest-common-denominator, which would decrease if new groups are added to the whole. The more different or antagonistic the new group, the more it has to decrease individual rights.

DRM is annoying, but it can be effective. There is a DRM free copy of every popular science fiction novel you can think of up to around 2010 or so (And, since I haven't checked for about a year, we may have moved into 2011/2012).

But, with the exception of Top 100 novels - it's next to impossible to find/download these books unless you try really, really hard. I'm sure many of those people who buy a book on Amazon, would instead download if it were effortless to. (Though, many would also purchase it, in much the same way many of us purchase our TV shows and Music.)

DRM on books, so far, has slowed down piracy of books. It's not 100% effective, but it's certainly not 100% useless.

I love this tool. As a programmer I cringe at most WYSIWYG because they heavily dilute the code needed to make something happen + hardly ever get it done in the first place. This actually looks very promising.

One note though. Your target audience is going to include non-programmers and those people might not even know the proper names for some of these bootstrap elements. So I suggest some kind of toggle between the boostrap name buttons & maybe some sort of GUI. like Actually dragging a menu into the workspace, or dragging a twitter bootstrap button into the workspace, etc.

Other than that.. I like where this is going.

Right, and if they did most artists would make their albums purchase only, thereby blowing up Spotify's subscription model. After all, are you a premium artist or not?

By refusing to add this feature, Spotify makes Deadmau5 look like the bad guy to his fans.

Actually, saying you have "an accurate Natural Language Understanding" api pretty much is saying you've invented general intelligence.
I've helped a number of companies put together pricing plans, and the first thing I usually say is "talk to your customers", so it's great that you are already doing that. However, the real question is not "how should I price this?" but "why is this awesome to you? (what is the value?)" You should absolutely price based on value-- if your value is greater than your cost, you can win. If not, you need to fix something. If you don't know what that value is, spend your time there, and the pricing will flow from that. As mentioned by others, you can always grandfather existing customers if you decide to change.

(That said, I'm guessing that simple tiers + custom enterprise plans if needed will be the way to go. The trick is figuring out how to set them up.)

Sorry, you are misreading the comment. I believe that invasion of privacy is a serious crime, and someone who engages in it on a sustained basis deserves jail time. One would hope that there are laws on the books against it.

One would also hope that the prosecution enforces the existing law, because the law isn't what is on the books, law is whatever is the established practice.
Isn't the Bandcamp model just the iTunes model... except iTunes's been here for over 10 years?
I can get the top 100 albums for free on Youtube essentially. Spotify would simply lose my $10/mo. That said, I'd gladly pay more, maybe $20/mo for an expanded catalog and an iota of dedication to improving their Android app.
Facebook pushes the their new lists, while ignoring the old ones. I'm constantly suggested to add people to the new lists, but not to the old ones. I started doing this, not realising the lists were different, as my old lists have the same names as the new ones. The only way to distinguish between them is the new icon. Facebook's list management tools don't make this easy to fix up.
That's cool, I'll listen to it on BitTorrent and no one will make any money. I pirated music for 10 years until the 'business' actually figured out what I want - all the music, anywhere, anytime, for a flat fee, which has much more value-add than pirating. I'm not going to be forced into some other contrived broken business model.

The only simple solution I can think of is another level of Spotify membership for early access - like $15 a month. Other than that, Spotify is about volume. Get your name out there, make some money, and make real money by playing shows and selling merch. Making money by sitting back and collecting royalties for 50 years is waaaay too lucrative. Spotify is fixing that.

It's kind of nice that some artists occasionally (not always, due to piracy) make money from their marketing (i.e., their song sales, spotify plays, etc).

Bob Metcalfe's Advice on Public Speaking
This article seems way off in so many different aspects, especially the example where they keep the sidebar beside the text on the mobile version and say it is better.

"That all said if everybody agreed on everything then life as we know it would be boring and we would all be fighting over the same women at some stage, which would not work out well."

This would be especially awkward, since apparently she would also be fighting over herself and presumably would just elope with herself.
I looked at REBOL years ago, thought it looked kind of okay, then ran into the whole issue that they wanted to be paid for it. I don't believe that anyone should be required to give their work away... but when I can get Python, Ruby, or Perl for free, why would I want REBOL?

Also, I think their announcement is a bit rude to the Open Source world. Sounds like they are reluctant to do it for fear that the unwashed masses (us) will come in and, I don't know, name a variable improperly or something.
For those of us outside the US / who don't follow NFL, what's the joke I'm missing?
> Needing lots of expensive invariants is almost "invariably" (see what I did there?) a code smell.

What's your definition of need? I want a lot of invariants if because I have found it reduces the chance of error. This is also the finding in that Microsoft case study I linked to. The more invariants, the better, and that means making them cheap to write.

> In C++, I've even seen people assert that an unsigned integer was >= 0. You can just feel the quality.

Entirely reasonable in some cases; it's telling me: "this software is not defined for negative numbers". There does exist code that can accept an unsigned number (because it is what callers found most convenient at the time, and casting is wordy) but is defined on negative inputs, and it would not be valid to put that assertion there. Those assertions are to assist future collaborators of your software, and shorter to write than:

// This algorithm is only defined on positive integers

Until one is using a language with real dependent types, I think your specific example is not on the face of it as egregious as you say it is.

> Go has a notation for problems that are never supposed to happen: panic. For other errors, there are return codes.

Unfortunately I do see panic used -- even in the standard library -- as a flow control mechanism also. But yes, I do use panic for this reason, and tend to eschew using recover for convenience in most situations. It is the lack of an idiom to obtain complete clarity as to the nature of the panic that I find mildly irritating.

- Have a mouseover tooltip on the thumbs up/down, bookmark etc. buttons so that I know what they do. It's not immediately obvious what the eye button does.

You wouldn't go 15,000 mph, but you could do several hundred pretty easily.

Nice site. I found all the beers I was searching for easily. I think I'd use this more on my mobile phone while at the bar vs on my desktop.
Your mentioning of epic all-night code sprees, and talk of other 'fun' and weird things startups do reminds me of the old tales of game development, before it became such a huge business. Young males found it cool to hack around on something until odd hours of the night (I know I did), it's just that now it is startups rather than game development that is taking the focus.

Maybe it's not necessarily the startup culture per se, nor even the game development culture, but just some sort of young male energy culture that wants to make all work places fun but also involve some all-night programming/business/development hazing ritual. Others see this enthusiasm and youthful energy and exploit it for their own ends (Publishers in game development, Venture Capitalists in startups), and we see this perpetualisation of exploitation.

My comment is that UX wise, I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing on the site. It took me a few minutes to realize there was a search bar in the upper right that really is the focus for finding the beer you like and seeding the database to get recommendations. I'd add some sort of initial training session, and generally feature the search bar as a sort of "improve your recommendations, rate some beers!" feature.
Well, for starters, wiretapping without sound isn't wiretapping. Then there's probably some verbiage about the difference between being unaware of the camera's presence and the camera's operation.
