There's a 30/70 split for most online music services (both streaming and purchase). The major labels negotiate to get a better deal, but for most artists there's a distribution fee of 30%. I don't have the details for the Apple Music agreement, but I know both Spotify and Tidal takes a 30 % cut of the revenue. I expect Apple Music to follow the same revenue split as iTunes.

Also: Spotify's freemium model pays out about 1/20 compared to Tidal premium-only model. If Apple Music is a consumer success, it (and other premium-only services) will be a much more attractive option for artists than Spotify.
Containers hosting hardware virtual machines running Windows, FreeBSD, or others

Can't we just describe VMs as VMs and be done with it? So it's a container that has a VM inside it?
Uh, sorry, did you accidentally reply to wrong message?
dd'ing to the target device, and then growing the fs to the full disk extent seems to be a splendid idea. Especially as Linux tends to replace quite a lot of code over the usual curse of updates...

For a cluster system I had built a netbootable system for reinstall that would restore a dump of the reference system's fs on a node and adjust hostnames, ssh host keys etc... Also was quite fast at that time..
1. YNAB is over complicated (just mho), but still has stuccess.

2. Forecasting (more like planning): at this moment I have X in my account. I have a big event in about 90 days from now.
I want the app to "learn" from my past months transactions(expenses & income), create a spending pattern and give me some scenarios: the optimist, pessimist and the probable one.

Currently I am trying this in excel...but doesn't work as planned. I want the app to be able "think" in advance.

Eg. you set a goal: $3,000 cash in next 3 months. Then the app should do: check what you did in the past 3 months, check last year on this time if you have any insurance to cover (car, house...etc, yearly recurring transactions) and the result should be: well, you can't gather $3,000 because you might spend them on: X, Y, Z. If you eliminate one of them, you reach your goal. Some kind of rudimentary artificial intelligence.

3. thanks for OFX, QFX and QIF.

4. Honestly, I want to build something that matters. I think I can support these yearly costs, even with a donate button (no ads).

5. Everywhere the forecasting/planning feature is a paid one.

6. As I initially said, I am trying to plan it as anonymous as possible: the data will be tied to an oauth userID, nothing more.
An HIPS can do much of this on Windows. It takes some training though.

I use the free one that comes with Comodo Firewall, but I am unaware of any free, quality, stand alone alternatives.
That's funny. I swear I've considered just buying up a boatload of used Alpha and Itanium machines to keep a VMS cluster going another decade. Put a guard in front of it to block any attacks due to its age or protocols. People might laugh but my stuff would stay running no matter what. Example below:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/brochures/commerzbank/comm...

Notice how the Intel hardware all failed when things heated up a bit. The AlphaServers running VMS just kept chugging along. The eventual fail-over didn't loose a single transaction. Aggravates me that I can't easily obtain such reliable IT hardware/software anymore outside eBay. I mean, HP NonStop sure as hell doesn't have a hobbyist program with used servers for $130. ;)
Once already. The big issue with ERs isn't the injury that sends them there, it's the stuff they catch while there!
I'm disconnected from reality? So how do you view the global monetary system working 10 years from now? Will the world be using U.S. petro-dollars? Can the fed print off another hundred TRILLION and avoid hyper-inflation. Like it is all well and good to say I have my head up my ass but can you give me some of these answers?
In most circumstances that'd be fine, but as the OP states, he's tried getting in touch with them. This is essentially the last resort.
Sandi Metz' Rules for Developers
Or as @Delmania suggested: use some standard formats.
It's the "using my own credit card" that sounds like a great way to get your account shut down, not using it with a fake name. Charging your own cards is something payment processors don't like for a number of reasons, like the fact that it can be used to perpetrate all kinds of frauds: giving yourself cash advances the card issuer hasn't approved, gaming credit card reward programs, skewing your volume and reversal metrics the processor uses to evaluate your account risk, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it can be (absurdly) complex to generate, even when the actual DFA output required is small.

Look at the intermediates generated by something like "hhhhh". There is a massive amount of redundancy there.
What's the secret URL parameter?
TL;DR practice
Agreed - there is a lot of speculation here.

In the U.S., implementation of a wiretapping scheme like this would be a significant civil and criminal violation. Google is already under a FTC consent degree for privacy violations, which would make it doubly egregious. So I'll give Google the benefit of the doubt - and assume there are privacy-protective mechanisms designed in to the system.

In the age of ambient technology, where anything can be recorded, the onus is now on developers to create systems that internally suppress mass privacy violation. The "Privacy by Design" approach (disclosure, I have an evangelist of PbD) can provide solid guidance as to how to build privacy-protective mechanisms (e.g. data minimization, data scrubbing) into ambient technologies.
I wonder if they could be sued for that. IANAL but afaik US contract law states that vagueness in contracts always benefits the party who did not write the contract. The vagueness may be used to your advantage to indicate that they didn't give you the two months you expected.
I think this statement might be among the most profound crystallizations of a certain type of SV mindset that people outside that world find flabbergasting. Marketplaces do not exist without goods to sell. If you were to walk into a record store and mistake the store itself, and not the music, for being the main reason why people visit record stores, and that all of these recording artists are super lucky to be in this awesome store, well... I'd like to meet the person who thinks that, I guess. Maybe.
How are you twisting debt crises into a pitch for Bitcoin, the most centralized, 100% traceable and accountable crypto-currency on the net?
Because that is absurdly large, and gets larger as the character set grows.
In both Iceland and Greece you saw a massive loss of trust with the existing government (both since replaced democratically)- that has nothing to do with peoples faith in their currency, as you've not seen a real call in either place to go back to a specie backed currency.

In Greece there have been calls to go back to the Drachma - but this doesn't mean a lack of faith in fiat currency, the greeks seem to more want out of the EU currency union then anything else.
This is correct.

A merchant can play a balancing act between having limited validations but a higher processing success rate against the chance of a higher dispute rate.
Nah there isn't.
I is seeing that article that made us think there might be complications indeed.
> Consider that you're one of the developers that wrote this feature. You try very hard to make sure your users privacy rights are respected.

Surely a developer working for Google knows that user privacy is not a priority for the company?
You're giving a perfect demonstration of what I was writing about.

You're a fanatic, and the way you're acting you are undermining and destroying the rights you pretend to stand for.

Every pendulum that has been taken too far swing back eventually.
Wow. Funny how those images look like dreamscapes when the trained neural nets process random noise...

Javascript is a functional language. You _should_ be writing many functions, possibly thousands in a large codebase.
If you click 'Complete details' just below you will be provided with a full list of the circumstances in which they can terminate with immediate effect (although I acknowledge that the ability to terminate simply because a card network/issuer requests this is not particularly transparent (but understandable)):

- we determine in our sole discretion that you are ineligible for the Service because of the risk associated with your use of Stripe, including without limitation
significant credit or fraud risk, or for any other reason;

- you do not comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or

- upon request of a Card Network or a card issuer.
This response alone is why I will always recommend Stripe. The support may need support of its own, but knowing that you can get management's attention fairly easily says a lot of great things about the company and the people working there in my book.
But then we come back to my original point that you're (GPL people) arguing for ideology (idea that being able to crate forks is intrinsically valuable) and i'm arguing that copyleft means less forks in the first place and that a closed source fork is better than no fork.
Why not just add a tax for homes that aren't your primary residence? Foreigners will not do this since they would need to pay income tax as well?
No MRC (monthly reoccurring charge) on a service does not make it free, you're still paying for the service in a pay-per-use context.
5 mistakes to avoid in moving to the cloud
To a large degree, yes.

A post-paid cellphone 4G unlimited data plan with a monthly fee may be out of reach, but many, if not most coffee shops, cafes, libraries, malls all have free wifi - and the homeless in your area probably have a better than you as to where theres free wifi.

Your local public library likely has a few computers with internet access, but many homeless people have smartphones or tablets or laptops. Maybe not the very newest, but a smartphone from 3 generations ago can be had for very cheap, and will still do enough to send emails and apply for jobs, housing, and welfare, as well as reconnect with family and friends.

I think you should ask yourself how all these tech companies that use Go in production ever reached the confidence to use Go in production without a "proper" debugger available.
Cute - inserting the word 'professional' before rails dev, and then claiming to take security and code quality seriously!
ROFL
If a developer was professional, and cared about code quality and security, they would not use rails. Period.
But then you would have to choose DDG as your search engine. Same number of steps.
BDD got it right. Write your tests to prove the features are working, not to prove that the code written to implement the features does what it does.
Likely, but the question is whether Apple/their DJs have an agenda to give tracks not in their catalog less or no time on air.
Smoking pot would do the same thing. Playing a board game also. Are we now going to say that teasing, drinking, smoking pot, and playing a board game are equal?

I can't tell if I'm getting trolled because of your username or not, but it seems to fit here.
That's because the designers of most web pages want the features they provide. When you say "optional" you don't actually mean optional, you mean removed. Such a thing already exists, it's called Gopher[1].

The problem here is that there is a such a wide range of "I'm just teasing". The phrase can be a reasonable defense when someone is getting over protective or trying to inappropriately regulate someone else's behavior. On the other hand, "I'm just teasing" can be a way to justify astonishing levels of assholery. Both concerns are consistent with what I read in the article.
TLDR - One devs account was shut down. He wants support and is getting it in the comments.
>Of course, but that's selfish and damaging in the long term.

It's behind a pay wall. Not fair to make submissions many people can't read. All content I get on HackerNews should be free to read without an implication of paying to join the discussion.

The Irish Times allows current articles to be read publicly but anything that gets archived (a few days old) must be payed for to be read. I prefer and pay for this model - would be nice if WSJ adopted it.
There are many ways to monetize a service, but I will try to keep it free. Maybe a donation button :P
I think this is something that sets PayPal apart. Paypal just doesn't seem to care at all. Their customer service is appalling.

That being said Patrick, you can't do this forever, the service & support ought to be well without the need of a call for attention.

I think this is the 3rd or fourth one in the past 2 weeks. Is something going on at Stripe? Why are these all happening now?
Is it a joke? I sure hope so.
Yes, the QEMU process that underpins the hardware virtual machine lives within a container on the host. It means that a vulnerability in QEMU that allows for guest escape will land you in an otherwise empty container, rather than out on the host where other tenants are accessible.

But Triton is first and foremost about _container-based_ virtualisation: which involves no HVM at all!
Full disclosure, we are still in the implementation stage with Stripe, nothing in production yet, but customer service has been excellent so far. Sure, it's non-traditional, and I think they need a better user facing ticket system especially for important things that need tracking + accountability.

Every time I have had a question about functionality, needed someone to take a look at test cases in my account, etc.., someone from Stripe has ALWAYS been available in IRC and quick to respond.

That said, if they really are canceling accounts on short notice, that's pretty shitty. No reasonable sized application can realistically swap to a completely new payment provider in a week. There should be a bare minimum of a month or two of notice if your account is getting terminated.
It survived but it didn't dominate the way that was expected. In the late '90s, Java was positioned and expected to be in the place that webapps live today - that is, something within your browser that would handle interactive live client/server applications.

It's a nice spread too. They take a 2.9% fee for charging a debit/check card, but pay Visa as little as 0.05% + $0.21.
Nearly any software is potentially server side software. So really they should recommend AGPL for everything, and relicence all FSF owned projects as AGPL.

They don't because a lot of people even inside the FOSS community are violently opposed to the AGPL. Quite a few people think that it conflicts with Freedom Zero.
Yeah they have huge problems which QNX itself can't begin to fix. Yet, the Blackberry Playbook (running on QNX) totally screamed in performance and responsiveness in the tests against the iPad. Showed how smart a decision they made to use a proper RTOS for their devices. I gave product manager props for the decision.

I think they should stick to their strong suit and build on strengths in business world. Collaboration, integration with legacy stuff, bake in more security than iPhone/Android, and so on. Build services on top of that like IBM does with all their stuff. And so on.
Note that all android phones have that issue. Also all windows phones and soon windows 10.

Oh and smart tvs. it is a real problem though
IRCMan
The detection layer will detect very faint random signals. For example, if you have a unit that's supposed to detect dogs, it might be very faintly activated if by random chance there is a doggish quality to some part of the image. What they do is pick up that faint, random, signal and amplify it.

They say: oh you think that cloud is a tiny bit dog-like? Ok, well then find me a small modification to the image that would make it a little more dog like, then a little more, and so on.

Think of it as semantic contrast enhancement
Debugging will use SourceMaps which already exist today. As for efficiency, I haven't read anything that suggests WebAssembly will be more efficient than asm.js, why would it be?
We expect follow up posts if everything gets sorted - even if it embarrasses you or Stripe a little bit.

If it is at the end of the string I ctrl+l -> ctrl+shift+left arrow.

I don't mind having to press the home key on occasion that I'd try a different source (which is almost never).

Yeah, except not every Stripe customer knows that the real place to get support is (apparently) Hacker News, rather than Stripe support. The fact that the official channels are non responsive but a post on HN gets an immediate response could be construed as a red flag: the company cares more about avoiding bad PR than about having good customer service.
Doesn't actually give any advice. Talks about companies that hire remotely and why.
The currency will be set to inflate at 0-3%, hedonically adjusted, by central banks. This rate is determined by averaging out costs of a consumer basket of goods, as determined by a central bank. The bank might determine a family only needs to spend 6% budget on college and 20% TVs. The currency will inflate accordingly. This policy benefits those who hold assets that increase in nominal value, as well as those who can access near 0% interest loans.

I am planning on resigning and have a lot of useful code which I’ve written and I'd like to take it with me.

What are some of the most undetectable methods for getting code outside of the company that I am currently working for?

I can only think of using something like pastebin or change the extension of code files to .pdf and emailing them to myself using Gmail.

Can uploading attachments to Gmail be tracked by IT?

If Android had been using the GPL, it would probably never have taken off because:

- Manufacturers and other partners would have refused to use it

- OpenJDK is not optimized for mobile, so performance would have been disastrous (especially in 2007, try to remember the kind of phones we were using back then)

It's worth noting: if you do 100K+ monthly via PayPal, you get a VIP support team for all business issues, and a Christmas card with their faces printed on the front. No kidding.
The agroecological benefits for this type of research are astounding. If you look at pictures of teosinte (O.G. corn) and compare it to modern varieties, the gains in terms of grain size (for feed corn), productivity, and resilience are astounding. Granted, those gains come from 1000's of years of agricultural evolution and a relatively new agro-industrial research partnership, but the fact remains that if we were to support agroecological solutions, like researching Africa's "super vegetables," the net benefits for our global food systems are potentially as important as the Green Revolution.

Edit: However, no matter what happens, it's important to always frame this research in terms of what people and communities, not businesses, actually want, and to keep in mind local food sovereignty.
Way to basic for me. Good luck.

That's a great point! I've certainly had times where spiking a bit of code and then thinking was valuable. There are no maxims in program design so I'm glad you took the time and thought about that :)
Yeah, seriously, +1 to nateabele's comment here. Can anyone explain this for non-PhDs?
These keep popping up and Stripe quickly intervenes after it's on HN. Why not just answer your emails in the first place?
That first paragraph is what I meant. But the second paragraph is not quite how I understand it.

The risk is entirely down to the accuracy of the estimation of future profits. If there are only two VCs in the market and they both estimate the same cashflow, rational economics says they will both out bid school other down to the last cent of Present Value.

Of course that is not a realistic scenario, but I just want to be clear, and maybe folks were not implying it, but there is no "reward for risk taking". There is only a difference in estimated cashflow and a market that does or does not have high competition.

The more competition, as in SV VC world it seems, the closer a VC must pay to the estimated future cashflow. Which in cases of Uber or airbnb is frigging vast or nothing.

I think nothing to be quite honest but that's another post.

Well, the "support" here is just much more visible than everything else that we do. We provide support over as many channels as possible: we employ full-time folks in #stripe on IRC, we monitor Twitter, we send thousands of emails every day, we're rolling out phone support, we chat with customers on IM -- and, yes, we reply on HN. Obviously nobody should have to post here, but we'll certainly respond if they do.

Fraud-related cases are particularly hard, by the way. Thousands of people try to defraud us every day. (I guess it's a consequence of being highly-visible and easy to set up.) And so the support for those cases has to be handled a little differently.
There's a difference between socially blind fueled arrogance and legitimate confidence. Considering many women complain about arrogant men and geek/bro culture, well, I don't think quoting Monty Python endlessly projects an air of confidence. In fact, it probably does the opposite.
