Salary and title can be hollow benchmarks. Ultimately, you drive your career growth. It might be helpful to know where you want go. Are you looking for director level with larger management responsibilities? Or do you prefer to manage important projects as an individual contributor? Suggest developing a personal scorecard that indicates professional growth. Use that as a career road map.

I had a friend who described this exact same thing, I obviously thought he was making it up, since I don't remember 99% of my dreams and experience dreamless nights most of the time. I know about REM state and how everyone dreams, so I know I dream but simply don't remember anything, only thing I can sort of pick up from the dream is whether it was a happy one or a unhappy one. I guess this thing you describe must have a name, can't be a coincidence.

> If I'm handing over my hard earned money to a business, I do expect the business to bend over backward for me.

You're a crazy person. If I go to an argentinian beef restaurant I don't expect them to bend of backwards when I demand a salt cod dish, or to give Crazy McNotastebuds a free meal because they "had" to add salt to the dish.

> You're not the only suitor for my business and I don't need to feel bad about having high expectations.

That cuts both ways, they're obviously enjoying sufficient clientele for their limited room space and serving time, you're not the only suitor for their business and they don't need to feel bad about asshole clients.

And a 5mn discussion with the average retail slave (or support, or basically anything client-facing) is sufficient to find out that asshole and crazy clients do exist in droves, and enabling them is a stupid idea.

As much as I love Terry Gilliam I find his films like Zero Theorem and even Brazil very challenging to watch the whole way through. I always think they are absolutely genius for the first 30 minutes or so then my interest always starts to slowly fade.

Similar to most of the Monty Python films.

Above CD quality has been tried many times. Currently, the service with the most to offer in terms of catalog is https://www.hdtracks.com/faq. You do have to re-buy albums you might already own, but the choices are ever expanding and include a lot of great stuff.

The point in the article about the new format helping lesser known artists really shows just how little U2 and Bono actually get about the current state of the music industry. Artists are getting completely screwed by labels and must tour by necessity to make money. In fact, with the huge growth in the festival industry, small acts (and large acts of old) can make significant chunks of money they otherwise wouldn't. To Bono's point, Cole Porter could tour and make lots of money doing it today. He may not have wanted to, but it'd be possible. A new digital format isn't going to change that.
Little circles in an apparently random pattern? Obviously, it's an anti-counterfeiting measure.

JS NICE: Statistical Renaming, Type Inference and Deobfuscation
As someone who used to really enjoy dystopian themes, and who still does when done properly, the trope has become overused. "Epic new dystopian" film instead sounds like your standard "start out interesting for the first thirty minutes," and which then devolves into an hour or so of mindless fighting. Then again, Gilliam did do Brazil so maybe I'm wrong.
It sounds cool, but it will be a disaster. Does anyone remember the "ultra boost" button on the old Walkman to raise the bass to insane levels? Or all the equalizer voodoo, where people will "tune" moving levels and buttons forming shapes?

The sad truth is that audio engineers are way better than anyone else in mixing the music and making it shine. The better approach is not to mess with that and just trust them.

The same thing goes for headphones. It's better to get something more or less neutral in the sound to listen music in the way is supposed to sound, not distorting it adding crazy bass.
Duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8335310 which is older and has some discussion.
The way Bono talks about it it really sounds like bringing back DRM, since he's focused on career songwriters in his little quote. Maybe improving the way albums and additional metadata are bundled for the non-audio content. Hopefully the audio files themselves will remain as-is.

One thing that disappoints me is the way folders have stayed un-typed in OSes. I've always wished that the Reiser concept of "a file that contains files" had caught on, as that would be much more appropriate for packing metadata and other information unrelated to the main audio stream into an audio file container.
> "require" gives you methods that appear out of nowhere (unlike other language where they are name spaced)

I have no background in material sciences, and I'm sure the researches thought of this, but couldn't the model have been reversed to expand under exposure to heat and have trained the contracted state? This way, electricity would only be required to enter the suit, and the steady state would require no external power or mechanism. This seems like it would be safer in a situation like extreme low pressure where any failure would be fatal.
You would think the Federal reserve would just react by increasing the scope of what they have to notify for - seeing as a compromised Cloud Flare server could do something nasty in this scenario.

From what I've read, lodash does everything underscore does, faster (and it also does more). I may be missing something but there are virtually no reasons to still use underscore unless you just don't want to update your project's dependencies (which is fine, no harm done).
From TFA, it sounds like they might finally understand the dynamics of piracy and drm:

"Bono tells TIME he hopes that a new digital music format in the works will prove so irresistibly exciting to music fans that it will tempt them again into buying music"

Stopping piracy isn't accomplished by punishing users, its done by making legitimacy easier/more appealing in the first place.

However, if it's truly irresistibly exciting, but $1.29 per song, that implies DRM, as one can safely assume the exciting aspect is not the act of purchasing the music.
WOW: Thanks for creating an account on HN to even reply to this thread :)

I'm excited to hear your opinions, probably even have a video conversation once you've read The Lean Brand, because to me it seems like semantic gaps are extremely unfortunate for not only businesses, but non-profit organizations that need this muddy water cleared to be able to aggregate their values.

On your points so far, having my copy of the book already, Jeremiah differentiates between Brand and Branding. Yes, there is the influence piece, but I wonder if there isn't a deeper priority difference and not only semantic. If you're in a relationship, don't you want the best for the other? And if your product is the best, don't you want your relationships to benefit from that? Seems more natural than "sales" or getting a customer to a desired state. In my view of influence, versus manipulation, there is a leadership aspect which is interested in the best of another, versus merely having an agenda.

So depending on your idea of relationship, or your priorities, I see the semantic gap not existing. Does that make sense for you? If your idea is creating value, emotional and functional, and you are passionate about sharing the best you know with everyone you know, influence falls away and branding remains. The Lean Brand as a framework has ways of diagnosing passion and amplifying it, which is what I was looking for. As an entrepreneur I want organic connections that deepen, and to create awareness, but not create connections per se. If people share my values, we're connected. And if I listen, like we do in relationships, I will know the values of my audience and might need to learn to value the same thing or just exile myself from that audience. If I don't meet the need naturally, I should axe my product and choose another problem to solve, not work harder to get my customer into a certain emotion about me.

I am excited to think more about this with you. Brand seems to be where so much is decided in the success of organizations. Seeing even the possibility of a FRAMEWORK for this nightmarish world of Brand changed my life as a visionary beyond any other change I've experienced literally in decades.
You should probably say "might not", because although we know a key compromise would require notification, you'd have to have an actual lawyer tell you if a compromise of CloudFlare would not. Unless the lawyers are on board with this as a solution to the notification problem, the whole solution doesn't do anything (legally).

I'm a little bit sad to see the touchless base kindle go away.

I have both a kindle paperwhite and the previous base, touchless model, and the text is noticeably more recessed underneath the physical display on the paperwhite -- presumably to accomadate the touch sensor and the light.

So even though it's higher DPI, the actual reading experience feels more analog/physical-paper-like on the classic, touchless kindle.

Note that I originally submitted this through NPR's Planet Money podcast URL (http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2014/09/17/349034928/episode-...), but I switched it to this one because this one has more in-text description, and I think it makes sense to use the startup itself.

I imagine that most HNers will be enormously frustrated listening to this episode - I was. Alex Blumberg very much doesn't get it, until he (pretty much) does. The split they end up with, 60/40, is more reasonable, but I would have argued for 50/50. I think that the reasons for that are quite well-trodden on HN. In short, if you want a true co-founder, who will assume the same risk and responsibilities, then I think it's best to represent that in the equity split. I was frustrated that Alex recognized the relationship and marriage parallels, but didn't follow through on that analogy to the equity split.

(I have pretty much zero credentials for having this opinion, but I'm surprised to find I do have an opinion on the matter.)

I suggest exploring the subreddit dedicated to Lucid Dreams [1]. Falling asleep while somewhat conscious is a very interesting experience and this even has a name, Wake-Induced Lucid Dream (WILDE).

[1]: http://www.reddit.com/r/LucidDreaming/
... I disagree on the Monty Python films, I find they're generally well-paced and can be enjoyed all the way through.

Gilliam's serious films, on the other hand - yeah. The main needs to listen to his editors. Every time I watch a Gilliam movie, especially a director's cut, I'm always frustrated how much his movies drag through the 2nd act. The man needs to learn some brevity, but at his age he's obviously made up his mind that the audiences need to absolutely wallow in his beautiful imagery.

Twilio Adds Low-Cost, Two-Way MMS Picture Messaging to Its API Cloud
I've done that once before falling asleep, and more often while napping. It feels like I have conscious control of my imagination- whatever I think about becomes my reality. I find there's usually a theme that it starts out with, and while I might be able to change that I usually just roll with it.

For me it's easier to wake up from it than to fall asleep. Usually to actually fall asleep I have to wake myself up for 5 minutes then drift off again. However, I know that if I open my eyes the effect is gone, so I choose not to which is what makes it "difficult" to wake up. I have successfully opened my eyes and even moved around a decent amount, and then gotten back into that state, one time.

One of my best experiences was using it to fly.

Not a reasonable analogy. The 3d printer is a general purpose tool, reusable for many many purposes, therefore should not be considered in the material cost. Much like hammers and saws. The cost of the tools, if you want to be fussy about project cost in an accurate way, should be amortized over every single use of the tool for the duration of your ownership of it.

For example do you go to (e.g.) lifehacks and tell them that the "make shelves for $n" is an inaccurate price, because it doesn't include rent/mortgage to have a wall or the cost of a the screwdriver, drills, and saws?

The customer desiring a person who bends over backwards is obligated to find a seller willing to bend over backwards and negotiate with that person. Demanding that a seller whose business does not include bending over backwards bend over backwards is exactly why the customer is not always right.

To put it another way, a business is equally justified in having high expectations of its customers. A successful business often requires suggesting people pursue other options. An Apple Store Genius won't replace a screen on a ten year old feature phone.

I'm presently reading a book called Psycho-Cybernetics. It's rather old. I got it for free from an estate sale. Looked interesting because it has Psycho and Cybernetics in it; where could I go wrong?!

The main thesis is that the subconscious is a machine for doing things. Like a machine, it only reacts to data. It makes no judgement calls on the data. The goal of a person is to use their conscious mind to filter the information the doing machine gets. It was one of the first cognitive behavioral therapy books.

The book advocates sleeping on it for the reason given. The mind will process the data and come to a conclusion. The trick is to managing the data to get a good conclusion.

You're right - it seems popular even on HN where people make a living that musicians are exempt from earning a living through recording and selling music. Wrapped in daft phrases like "music wants to be free", it seems fashionable to engage in copyright infringement for music, and I think it stinks. Arguments that record labels ("fat cats") get a cut of the earnings are not relevant - the musician signed with the label (correct) but does this mean that the musician said his recorded music is free? (incorrect!)

We have disgust for software piracy here (particularly if it something we have written), yet the same disgust DOES not translate to music or musicians. It is wrong.

I think it is an attitude that needs to change. And the argument that "if I like it, I'll buy it" is wrong too; do we all pirate Microsoft Office and decide if we'll buy it after using it for a while? I don't! I buy Office if I need Office / enjoy using Office (not likely with that daft ribbon interface!).
