Am I the only one who thinks that Apple was turning around independently of Taylor Swift? It seems to me that they had heard the criticism before and then used it as an answer to Swift as a better story.
> has more people in some of its larger states than the entire population of Australia

Which makes Australia seem really really really big.
one interesting point to note from your comment, is that a suicide will have indirect knock-on effects on other trains "if they wait for the passengers of the delayed trains".
that NEVER happens on UK trains anymore. if your train is late, and there is only one connecting train to your destination... well that's just too bad, because in all likelihood your connecting train is run by a completely different operator and they have no obligation to wait for the delayed one.
I wonder, given the quick the response has been, if Eddie Cue or Tim Cook wasn't really sure about not paying for 3 months.
My guess is that Apple only agreed with labels.

Imagine this (you can replace Tim Cook with Eddie Cue and Eddie Cue with me other people at Apple):

- Tim Cook: I guess we should pay artists during the free trial

- Eddie Cue: We talked with the labels and they seem to be ok with us not paying during trial.

- TC: Are you sure? Well, it will be a lot of money saved, but I'm not sure how well will it be received by musicians.

- EC: I tell you, all the labels seems to say that's fine, it's a little long, but they understand if better on the long term.

- TC: Ok, if you said so, go ahead

Yesterday

- TC: I told you so. Fix it NOW

- EC: Ups, yes...

That incentive does not seem so strong if you consider the situation that Greece has reached for them to be bailed-out (if that ever happens).

Italy, Spain and Portugal are not in the same situation as Greece. And being bailed out would not mean that Greece has just gotten German-level prosperity, just that they can start walking again on their own. I do not see that as a very alluring prospect for would-be "Greeces".

Politicians all around Europe would do us a big service if they started explaining this to their citizens, instead of fostering confrontation between the European peoples.
Fair enough, like I say I'm not familiar with the subject but curious. I was more picturing the masks that look a bit like gas masks that have radios in them. My extent of diving knowledge is limited to movies and Mythbusters, I'll admit.

Thanks for that information :)
The advance from the two companies is using the ubiquity of the Internet to replace the inefficient part of renting/fare-searching -- the middleman who coordinates searchers with providers.

Uber is a taxi company without a scheduler and dispatch desk. Airbnb is a hotel reservation system where the hotel rooms aren't in the same building, and the front desk has "perfect" knowledge of which rooms are open, when.
I see this as a company that has decided not to pay their partners, reversed their position. Hardly flattering.
China is heavily trying to also connect its less populated areas to proper train services.
They just built a new highspeed train to the Xinjiang region which is a very sparsely populated area in the north east of China.
Looks like a cool idea and I'm excited for Facebook, but I'm also quite happy I never have Bluetooth enabled except when I'm at home. Do other HNers tend to have it on? Bluetooth headsets seem to be on the decline but with cars getting smarter I'm not really sure.

"Once the platforms to rent out things, services or time are stable, textbook economics states that the cost of using them should fall."

I'm not sure what textbooks say about economics these days, but the pure supply and demand economics assuming rational actors taught in economics 101 has never been a good model of real world behavior.

Marketplaces are valuable because they provide monopoly profits. They are real estate, and participating in them requires rent.

If this was a intentional decision from Apple from the very start, then it isn't a win for the customers, since they were manipulated.
When reading works like this one I tend to find three stories being merged into one. It focuses on slavery where most of the evil aspects of humans tend to come out, as in order to reduce a human person into something that can be traded, everything that gives that person a social context must be torn down. This is where the "break down" period comes from and it's a common theme in everything from the African slave trade to forced labor camps. Slaves are broken down, displaced, and controlled in order to place them outside the social economics shared by everyone else.

The second story is one about social stigma. We live in a society which views sex trade to be worse than going into a life of crime. From a social standpoint, it means that providing a sexual service in return for money is worse than breaking the law and social order that society is built on.

The third, although one which often is used as an introduction, is one about poverty. In order to get food on the table people will agree to many kinds of dangerous, dirty, and unwanted lines of work. People have entered the death sentence called a coal mine, gone into work which has a life expectancy of months, but in contrast to prostitution those are often viewed as sacrifices rather than something shameful. I suspect this has something to do with gender roles, where a man who is forced by poverty to unwanted work is a hero while a woman doing the same is a victim.

The sad truth is that rape (like many disturbing behaviours including murder and child abuse) is entirely natural, it's not actually aberrant behaviour. Of course we're capable of recognizing it as harmful behaviour we would rather not see happen, but that's a matter of "ought" not "is".

I think the best bet at preventing rape is education and empathy (violence becomes more difficult if you can relate to your victim). But with human trafficking the situation is a bit more difficult than with "rape culture" at large: the victims are in a uniquely helpless position, legal (or social) consequences are practically absent and as a "customer" you're already engaging in a highly illegal environment. Psychologically this is entirely different from overpowering or drugging a free person and raping them.

Our best bet at preventing rape in human trafficking is likely just to eliminate human trafficking -- which seems like a worthy enough (if Herculean) task in itself.
The North-East is as dense as France. The mid-atlantic is denser than France, slighty less than Germany. And yet those regions severely lack in the train department.
The size of the USA as a whole is irrelevant. 2000 mile train rides are not the point. Regional corridors are.

They are guilty. They have paid a hefty price. Bail them out, so that they can start again. They will continue to pay a hefty price nevertheless - bailing out a country does not magically make them prosper. Your moral sense of justice will not be severely offended, don't worry.

We will bail them out, or they will default. What is the best option for the Greeks? What is the best option for the Euro-zone? I argue that, for both parties, the best option is to bail them out and keep the Euro-zone alive.
Has anyone else been keeping an eye on estimote? Any idea how this will measure up against their offering? In many ways this looks similar too. Just wondering if this is going to make business hard for estimote. Although, estimote just seems to be a lot more developer friendly, and open to more applications.
The part where he digs needles from his body and put them in a jar to show his wife who can't see anything in a jar reminded me of "A scanner darkly".

Better idea: program this into a computer and use VR goggles to look at the result.
For what it's worth, I preferred watching the Japanese teaser video[0] much more than Kazbrella's video[1]. It was clear and honest, while Kazbrella's video feels like an infomercial with poor acting.

US university admission is so weird, I think. Where I'm from, the only thing that counts is your grades. No subjective letter, having to know important people for letter of recommendation, no need to force yourself to play an instrument, do charity work, play a sport etc. without actually wanting to do it.

What are the pro's of doing it this way?
no, i rent it out.

The goal is obviously to convert free tier users to paid tier users. If you can do that, then eventually this stunt might pay off, at least for the record companies and artists who last enough to absorb 3 months of missing revenue. But if you're converting someone from a different paid service and not paying the artists, you are literally taking money away from them, and making them pay for your bet.

It does not at all seem clear that you're going to convert a ton of free users - like you said in a child comment, there are numerous other places where people can stream music for free. It seems like an admirable goal, but then that's how Spotify pitched it's model to begin with as well.

I don't see anything on that list that's not sensible. It makes sense to brief visitors about behavior that can get them into actual trouble when going to a foreign country. It's not a judgement either way.
At least you have other trains to take.
The burden of proof is on the one making the claims. There's very little value here as there's no substantiating evidence, but rather 'I could elaborate', which in itself just sounds like an attempt to spread disinformation. If you can elaborate then please do, otherwise you're not adding anything.
This 247 € factors in vehicle costs, taxes, maintenance, and insurance. Keep in mind that actual fuel costs for this stretch with a VW Golf VII would be 25.4 € (3.3 l/100km * 550km * 1.40 €/liter). So you're right. If you go out and buy a brand new VW Golf VII, insure it fully, and regularly drive this stretch, you're probably going to experience an average cost of 247 € for this stretch.

But there's two problems with this:

The actual marginal cost of the trip is still 25.4 €, plus let's give it a generous maintenance cost putting it at around 50 €. That's still less than half of the cost of the ICE. Add to this that you now have a car which can carry five people and the costs don't increase at all per person. A trip with 5 people is still going to cost you that 500 € instead of 615 €.

The second problem is that this is when you're buying a new car. Buying a used car would very easily bring your 247 € cost down below that 123 € even with the increase maintenance costs.
You're right but it defers determinism until some point in the future or maybe not at all :)
The distance between New York and Washington DC is about 225 miles and takes just over 4 hours by car.

Assuming a dedicated high speed rail line based on highway distances, at the best TGV speeds[1] (173mph, includes start and stop, not just high speed running) that would take approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.

The mainstream media never covered Apple's original policy on this.

But they definitely covered Apple changing policies partly based on Taylor Swift.

So in the eyes of people who don't spend their time on IT sites (Reddit, HN) Apple looks like a company that supports artists.
This sounds great, but the obvious problem with Webpack & co seems that they are entirely useless for isomorphic code. There's just no way to make require work like that for code that has to work on the server as well (which is one of the things React allows us to do).

There's a bunch of poor advice here.

Pre-natal nutrition: it is difficult for a pregnant woman to eat too little. There's no evidence of harm to mother or baby from mild undernourishment (if we ignore some condistions related to a need for vitamin supplementation). There is plenty of evidence of harm to mothers and babies for over eating. The risks of significant harm or death go up a lot if the mother or baby is overweight. These risks include, rarely, death.

A pregnant woman with a sensible diet needs only an extra 200 calories per day.

Of course someone would do that. People will do all kinds of shit for money, and it's especially disheartening when people fraudulently profit from a cause that involves fighting financial interests. But, you know, you'll find these fuckers everywhere. Anywhere where there's any kind of money, and quite a few places where there's none, you'll find frauds. Frauds prove nothing about the kind of people that they pretend to be.
Here's the thing - there's no money to be gained in "supervising the output". Decency is not profitable. General population apparently doesn't give a damn about quality or reliability of the news (or even if they do, it doesn't seem to affect the profit metrics in any way).

I'm guessing it's because they feel that grades are a poor indicator as to how well you will do at University, so they're fishing around for better things to go by.
Many (most?) of the women involved in these situations don't go there out of choice or with full knowledge of what they're getting involved in; they're either lied to and subsequently trapped, sold by their families (which is where poverty is a big factor, and certainly is not a choice made by the girls themselves), or outright kidnapped. That's the difference in your man vs. woman scenario - someone working in a coal mine may not feel like they have much choice but as you say they are agreeing to the work. Of course this is not to say that some men aren't likewise tricked or forced into such jobs but they too are victims.

Indeed - "usable" backups - they are ones you've tested restoring from (recently enough to be assured they still work on the latest version of your system).

I _hope_ they don't have someone saying "we had a backup - it was on a RAID set!".

It would surprise me less to discover the reported migration from Oracle on Windows to Oracle on Linux was still partly done, and they were taking solid reliable useable backups - of the old not-yet-decommissioned windows db servers...

(For the record, I've made both of those mistakes (and more) in my career... Fortunately neither represented weeks of 24x7 remedial work by 100s of people.)

Gina Ford's advice is probably harmful. They're really vile books and most people I know who've read them and tried to follow the advice felt miserable about it, and it didn't work.

Yes and no. I've seen published authorship attribution (AA) papers that used 13 submissions, so compared to that it is big.

I don't know why this branch of NLP/machine learning has been fairly okay with small corpora. When I did my last project we used 100 authors which was a lot compared to most of the literature at the time.

On the flip side, the only AA papers I've seen that use a large corpus are projects that scrape blogs, and I think it is safe to say that the traditional stylometric features are not optimized for that kind of language.
If their choice is to watch themselves or their families starve or die of disease, or to go to a likely death in terrible work conditions where they can at least help their families with the money they earn, it's not really much of a choice at all.
You misinterpreted what he wrote. It's entirely possible to care about customer privacy a great deal yet the customer will generally still care more. It's an exceedingly rare business that would actually care more about your privacy than you would yourself.

And it's entirely possible a business could care too much for your privacy by taking cash only ("Sorry, credit and debit cards will track you. Checks leave a paper trail."), have a faraday cage around the entire building to block any RF signals ("You don't want big brother tracking you!"), etc. while you just want to buy that item with your credit card and be able to get messages while shopping.
The test highlights an issue not covered by micro-
benchmarking: Encoding and Decoding should perform
similar, as factual throughput is determined by
Min(Encoding performance, Decoding performance).
For unknown reasons JDK serialization manages to encode
the message tested like 500_000 times per second,
decoding performance is only 80_000 per second so in
the test the receiver gets dropped quickly:

At 500,000 messages/sec you can burn 6000 cycles per message on a 3Ghz core.

Probably he has a problem with malloc during the decoding phase.
Every malloc and every free costs between 300 (best case) and several thousand cycles (syscall is required).

I agree with that rape itself is natural. And there are many instances in which even consenting sex is more exciting because it contains rape fantasies like calling the other one nasty names, hurting each other, bondage games etc. Stories like 50 shades of grey show that it is not just a male instinct to rape but also a female instead to be conquered. Power and sex are hard to separate.

Education and empathy is a really strong step to fight rape, I also believe that. I remember to have been reading that seeing and understanding another person's pain can result in us having the same emotional reaction as when experiencing the pain ourselves. Therefore increasing empathy might make the experience of raping someone as unpleasent to the rapist as for the victim.

I don't believe in that we are able to stop trafficking people, drugs, or anything else. When there's demand there are people who want to deliver. But it's true, when there are two impossible task at hand, which could you choose? I also don't believe that it's possible to break that sex-power relationship which results in rape.
