Most likely that will be very hard to do, at least for orchestral pieces, which are typically recorded using overhead microphones (ie, not with separate tracks for each instrument).

For pop music, it's definitely doable as long as I can get access to the individual tracks. It's actually something I have been wanting to do, so thanks for the suggestion.
Either it is a meritocracy for them, in which case we can draw some really nasty conclusions using people like Sculley, or they aren't operating in a meritocracy, which jives with the other accusations leveled at them....
I'm not sure where you're getting that, but if you read the rest of my comments on this thread I think you'll get a different impression.
Google is down - What is going on this week?
What is going on - git hub, google, level 3 was even down yesterday for some time any one want to talk about this?
I am experiencing the same. It literally went down RIGHT NOW.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com

Edit: Vancouver, Canada.

Edit2: 4:01pm PST and it is back for me, though isup.me still shows it as down

Edit3: Now when visiting Google.com, it redirects to google.com and appends "gws_rd=cr" to the end of the url [1]. Didn't notice this before. Anyone else experience the same?

First GitHub, then Google.

Way to ruin my workflow, guys.
which regions are afflicted? Netherlands here... down
I can get to google.com but not mail.google.com at the moment.

--edit: now I can't access google.com either.
I'm getting a 502 on Gmail.
Just lost it in California.
Came here for this. Thanks.
I don't under the pricing table.

It shows:

Emails	Price / 1,000	Total Price

0 - 10,000	Free

Next 500,000	$0.50

Next 1,000,000	$0.35

Next 5,000,000	$0.15

Any Additional	$0.10

Does that mean emails 10,001-510,000 cost $0.50 per thousand and then emails 510,000-1,510,000 cost $0.35 per thousand?
Youtube, too...
Search page and Apps accounts both seem to be offline.

Los Angeles - DOWN
Same. Chrome url box search isn't working. I just used bing unsarcastically.

EDIT: canada as well.... Aaaaand it's back.
Level 3 had service disruption yesterday too. So did AWS - what's going on this week - git hub too....
Time to Bing it up guys!
I thought that I will never see this day.
Completely OT, but when Dijkstra says:

>My second remark is that our intellectual powers are rather geared to master static relations and that our powers to visualize processes evolving in time are relatively poorly developed. For that reason we should do (as wise programmers aware of our limitations) our utmost to shorten the conceptual gap between the static program and the dynamic process, to make the correspondence between the program (spread out in text space) and the process (spread out in time) as trivial as possible.

He's touching on a crucial point in Immanuel Kant's philosophy. Kant theorized that though humans received their sensations as a constant stream of input in time (which is an internal condition of human beings, not a feature of bare reality), we can't actually do anything with that stream without applying concepts so as to form concrete (or abstract) objects, i.e. chairs, black holes, mothers, etc. But how would our minds know when to apply this concept or the other? Kant's reply was that our minds look for little clues called 'schematisms' which tell us what the most appropriate fundamental concept to apply to a part of the stream is, upon which others could be combined to produce objective representations we can think and act upon.

Almost a hundred years later, Nietzsche will claim (paraphrasing) that a measure of strength in a human being is the extent to which to which they can 'consume' phenomena in time, weakness being how direly one needs to apply a static idea to phenomena (like morals, stereotypes, prejudices, cause and effect, etc).

I'm just noting an interesting entry point into an old philosophical conversation. If it's understandable then I hope someone finds it interesting.
That's weird, I just did a google search for google and it's.............
Same here in Chicago.

[edit] And it's back up. I guess WWIII has not just begun.
It's kinda cute how Google is down for twenty seconds and there's already a thread on the front page with 40+ points and 15+ comments

Edit: and it's up again already (at least for me). No more need to panic, people.
Can't seem to access any of their services. Went down at about 23:50 UK time for me.

Edit: Seems to be back online although a little slow.
Just came back up.
Thanks! Makes me happy to hear that :)

I will definitely work on getting that line synced up. On my computer (Mac OS X / Chrome), it's perfectly synced, but it seems that that isn't the case for some people.

Thanks for the feedback.
Fine here (Leadville, CO)
Yep. Me too. How often does this happen in this age. I thought it was my internet connection. Funny how I use HN favorite to test my internet connection.
No API - I worked on one last year, but twas never released. Hoping to see something within the year - not just for images, but also collection data (object records, for instance).

Many other institutions have open APIs for their collection data, and often for images as well. See:

Cooper-Hewitt (data released on github)
Brooklyn Museum (API)
Powerhouse Museum (API)
Rijksmuseum
Indianapolis Museum of Art (also data on github)
Europeana (a EU-wide consortium)
DPLA (similar to Europeana, but in the US)

Also, lots of other institutions have open access to their images - many much more comprehensive than The Getty (not to sound bitter, but Getty is getting a lot of press for this where others have lead for years). It's really an imperative at this point - and for most institutions more a matter of when (since few have substantial technical staff) than if. The Getty is an exception, having a large, well-funded staff, but tends to be conservative in policy changes.

For other examples of cultural institutions sharing images widely:

National Gallery (high rez)
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Met

All this just off the top of my head -

That's not true. The government offers grants and loans for those with low incomes. I should know, that's how I paid for school. Skillsets and education must be earned; they are not granted.

You're still failing to provide evidence as to how the corporation is the party at fault.
Went down for us as well. :\ We thought it was us at first. Ha.
Still down? I made yet another upgrade after that first upgrade... Is it working now for you?
Yah a LOT of google seems to be down. Gmail, and search, at least. Central Iowa here.

It's marketed as a device for the elderly but another segment that could benefit from this are disabled people living alone.

When I left my parents house, I looked for something like this to use in case of an emergency. One option was to pay a monthly fee for a similar device, that upon activation makes someone call you and if you don't pick up they send an ambulance or call someone.

In the end I went for a wrist-watch like device that hooks itself to the house alarm and dials a predefined number when you press it. It obviously only works when I'm at home but that was enough for me and it doesn't include a monthly fee.
There seems to be no exact science with Li-ion battery life. Even defining "life" is difficult, since some people say the batteries "life" ends at 80-50%.

Of all the things I've heard about Li-ion batteries, the only ones that haven't been refuted are:

- Li-ion batteries like living at around 70%. More or less will decrease their life

- Li-ion batteries will always lose 30-50% capacity in 3 years even if they're just lying on a shelf due to their chemistry

- Li-ion batteries dislike heat. More heat reduced battery life. Coldness will temporarily reduce capacity, but has no long-term effect on lifespan.
drive.google.com is down as well
works in SF :)
Judging by this response (and I get this is a technical crowd), this illustrates how google effectively IS the internet at this point.
The Endz Of The Worldz! Fucking Kangaroos!
...And it's back.

Nothing to see here guys.
Just came back online for me.

How is it even possible for this (global blackout) to happen when the entire operation is highly distributed, both geographically and techically? I mean, even implementing a "red button to shut everything off intentionally" would be hard.
Nice! Works for me now. Great job :)
Alright, show's over -- everything works again haha

Google is up
This is an issue that can be solved with tag synonyms. Similar to what StackOverflow does: http://stackoverflow.com/tags/synonyms

On SO "ror" and "rails" are synonyms for "ruby on rails"
I think you should update your FAQ entry: "What are the differences between the plans you offer?"

Otherwise, looks good :)
>> It's kinda cute how Google is down for twenty seconds

It was actually a few minutes for me. Although by the time I realised there were alternative search engines it was back.
and yet he himself is an example of exactly the opposite mentality. He has been an outlier manager for decades and would have been a great choice of manager for anyone he would take money from. He effectively takes new money whenever his holdings pay dividends and reinvests it successfully. Roughly speaking he's returned 100% (vs 50% for the Sp500) in 10yrs giving about a 7.2% return rate. He consistently beats the market and then claims that "managers" cannot.
search.getty.edu is a Solr-based search index of resources across the Getty, including library catalogs and much beyond the Getty Museum's own collection - just FYI. You can filter for the collection, as well as for objects with images (and objects with open access images).

There's also the more focused, but less functional, Getty Museum online collection, which has (more or less) the same museum objects, and also has links to download the images where available.

Note, this is ~5000 images out of a collection of hundreds of thousands of objects. This is the easy stuff - public domain objects, with no rights/contract issues, with available, high-quality imaging, fully owned by Getty.
Be careful with taking that too far ;). That modularity and customizability was slippery slope for me--I defected from Debian to Arch in months.
Nice! Does Amazon regularly offer free eBooks?
Yes!

I'm actually using LilyPond already to create the sheet music, so if I do add the possibility for users to upload their own scores, it would most likely be with LilyPond...

Although the user would still need to partition the score (ie indicate at what time a certain note occurs) if the music was to be synced up to it.

It isn't terribly labor intensive but still requires a little bit of work... so maybe, if that's what people want!
Propaganda is nothing more than an idea that spreads (propagates). Or in other words: an idea.
It does away with the Sword[1] and instead opts for an olive branch -- some cannot risk the sword (great debt) for a reward (greater career opportunities), and they will now have a new opportunity.

By the same token, the Sword will never be held to the throat (bankruptcy). A happy worker is a productive worker.

In order to send a GET request you may want to first establish a TCP connection, so it's going to be at least three packets. Otherwise you're not going to receive any response.

Also, for these scans is quite common to just send a SYN packet and wait for the SYN/ACK to decide if the port is "open" or not.

Same here. Although I can't call it hacking. I lived in the middle of nowhere (tech wise, 30k people town in Lithuania) and somehow I found a book (probably the only one about Linux in my native language at that time) about Mandriva with a CD attached to it. Have no idea what that book was doing there in the local book store. Usually it were a dozen of random IT books and they had 1-2 copies of each. After a couple of tries, I installed it. Didn't have any clue what I was doing (I just heard that Linux was a cool thing) but that's how it's started... :)
If I was a recruiter in the bay area, I'd guess you could find some B-grade talent who could knock that out for about $80k/yr., and A-grade talent for about $150k/yr. There's a whole litany of variables here, like where the talent can live, exactly what you need and on what platform, how fast you need things done, and how many more people they can bring on and whether they can manage them effectively.

Mobile talent is extremely sought after in this day and age, particularly when you start adding essential skillsets for a successful startup.

If you up things to 50% equity, you might be able to take a small amount of the salary number away to attract the same pool of candidates, but not a lot.

Expect those salary numbers to drop significantly if you set up shop in other parts of the country (and particularly the world).

Why would you assume they were gay?
I live in San Francisco. I don't really care if other people like it or not. If they bitch about why they don't like it, it's up to me to stop reading/engaging. Let it go people, and move on. Why do we care so much what one person thinks?

And frankly, why is not okay for someone to disagree with the mainstream perspective? For the people who say he should move, I'm sure that if his work commitments allowed it, he would. But that's really not a solution. We can't kick out everyone who doesn't like it here.

Stay classy, San Francisco.
They had the S3 bucket originally set to allow listing - I grabbed it all before I reported it to an engineer there.

Not going to post a torrent though - mostly cuz you all can figure it out anyhow. The images are all of the form:

NNNNNN01.JPG on that S3 bucket.

NNNNNN is the object ID (the internal record ID of the work of art) zero-padded to 6 digits. The object ID is the same value that appears, for instance, in the URL on their online collection:

URL for Irises: http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artObjectDetails?artobj=...

URL for the full-rez image on S3: http://gettylargeimages.s3.amazonaws.com/00094701.jpg

You figure it out :)

One of the scoutmasters of my troop, 45 years ago, was a warehouseman. I doubt that his job was exciting. I imagine he took some satisfaction in doing it well. I suspect that his true satisfaction came from his family and community.

I have relatives and shirttail relatives who never attended or never finished college and have worked at blue-collar trades. Some are happy, some aren't, I don't know how many would recognize themselves as emptied out. Some rightly would not.

Anthony Trollope spent his working life in the British post office. Having more regular ways than Bukowski, he rose to responsible positions, but he worked steadily. I imagine that the readers of 2113 will mostly rate Trollope higher than Bukowski.
Would be fascinating to know how the GPL operates in this case. The way I see it, it can't be that a distributor is liable for patents they do not own on code they distribute. Otherwise the GPL becomes almost non-viable since even the mere act of distributing code under it puts you into the chain of liability. It can only be that you are granting an implicit license for patents you actually own or have the right to re-license.
A spherical globe still counts as a projection of our non-spherical planet!
Indeed. I don't see how we can even get a reasonable bound on the exponent of P(alien life). That kind of uncertainty behaves counter-intuitively - multiplying it by the size of the universe leaves it essentially unchanged.

This discussion is very interesting. I'm puzzled about how to keep batteries working longer, so I looked around for some sources,

with background information about batteries. It would be great to hear comments about what these sources say. I need a reality check on how to take better care of batteries in rechargeable devices.
I tried it for a while and I just can't work with it. I'm back to fish 1.23 for now, and I don't know what I'll do when that becomes unmaintainable. I might just have some personal patches, I really wish they included an option to disable it.
I didn't realize battery replacement was such a thing. I have 1856 cycles on a 2008 aluminum macbook with 'normal' health and have never noticed problems. I gather from here [1] that I should be well into my fourth battery?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm glad there is an explanation based on user behavior for this phenomenon because admin level vote tampering is such a tired theory.
The biggest problem is when someone comes and takes your software and doesn't do anything except sell it online for half the cost. This happened to me a number of years ago. They didn't do a better job or offer a better product. They didn't compete on functionality or user experience. They sold my unmodified, identical binaries (at a lower cost) as if they were an authorized reseller and kept all the money for themselves. I fail to see how this individual was deserving of the pure profit they made from my hard work.
I've been curious about that fellows job description as well. I just emailed that question to the website. I'll post the answer if/when I get a reply.

My website was down for 4 hours last week and no one noticed :(
I'm surely in a minority on this but I think it's kind of immoral to take jobs away from some of the poorest people on earth and give them to relatively well off Americans. I know I'm obligated to prefer my countrymen to others but I just can't convince myself that this is a good thing as a whole.
One thing to realize is that Bukowski always considered his full time job to be being a drunk. He just switched his second job from various menial jobs to writing.
Really curious to see the impact of this on alternative search engines (Bing, Duck Duck Go). If it would last a bit longer, they might go down because of the sudden huge load. Cascading failures across companies!
We deal with it two ways:

1. We make accessing and using the data domestically the biggest punishable crime in the land.

2. Parallel construction relies on creating a believable narrative. As such we become suspicious of chance occurrences within those narratives. And as soon as someone screws up the story, we hit them with #1 so hard everyone else freaks.

If the Agile Manifesto were just that and little more, I'd agree with you...

But instead it has become an enormous metastasizing moneymaker for minting Certified Scrum Masters, Certified Scrum Product Owners, Agile Certified Practitioners, and all sorts of other Agile titles for $1000+ a pop. So I guess we're going to have to disagree because I think this means a little ownership of the issues that arise in the practice resulting from that training is appropriate here. Because what I'm hearing from you now sounds a lot like the usual "You're doing it wrong!" refrain which accomplishes precisely nothing.

To expand on this point, Benjamin Graham gives an excellent layman's breakdown of why pursuing an index almost always prevails against trying to "beat the market" in The Intelligent Investor.

If you're looking to make money with the market, and you're not looking for a particularly high amount, and time is not an issue, an index fund is the way to go.
