For the record I think that these laws are utterly stupid and totally unenforceable. (I say this as someone that pays for their content.) However, the legislators will not be put off by mere technical impossibility.
If only Music Artists didn't get ripped off by Recording Labels. Streaming isn't the problem imo, Artists making $21 for every $1000[1] is the problem

Yes, you make "less" on a Streaming service than me paying you $10, but if you decide to both have a label which takes 98% of your profit, AND allow your music to be Streamed (which offers a better UX, but less direct monitization), then you're making poor choices, imo.

Streaming services (music/movies/etc) are becoming standard because the UX is excellent. They may need some tweaking, but it is a painless UX. Imo, they're here to stay, and for good reason.

The radio algorithm is good though, much better than spotify's.

For example I listen to a lively rock or pop song and ask “play music” to start a radio station based on that; it will continue with lively songs of the same genre.

On contrary spotify would either continue with rock ballads or slow pop songs. It seemed to me that spotify doesn't understand the context of the song (not sure if this is the right word), instead it reads a generic genre and tries to play something from the billboards. It would continue with ballads even when I started a radio station with a power/death/thrash metal song!
You can buy a box of their top-of-the-line razors from South Korea for like ten dollars. This is 100% marketing. I don't mean there's anything wrong with that, just that this valuation is for something that is pure marketing. They don't really have an edge in their products...... badum-psh!
Programmers and lawyers are notorious for adding conditions to their statements to avoid liability.

US Weather 'Misery Index'
Modern cars take a tremendous amount of control away from you. You lose the ability to easily service your own engine. You rely on electronics to do everything from braking to steering to regulating the temperature. If one thing fails, the car is undrivable and will likely need a lot of expensive repairs you can't do on your own.

On the other hand, it gives us things like AWD, so people don't need to be afraid of when they should use 4WD or when doing so might damage their car. It's automatic. It allows people with disabilities to operate a car, since they don't need to shift or use both feet on the pedals. It's automatic. You can hook up your iPhone and play music from it without touching the phone. It's automatic. And even slippery weather isn't as deadly anymore with automatic traction control.

So no, I can't rip my car down to the chassis and count every bolt. But I can drive a car in a far more safe manner, a car with far more power and far more convenience. There's two types of "control" at play. One is a mechanical control where I could tear down my Toyota 4Runner SUV with 180hp (a small amount of power) and put it back together as a Tacoma pickup. The other is the knowledge that if I hit a slippery patch in my Nissan Murano with 260hp (a huge amount of power), I will continue on just fine even with more power under the hood while the Tacoma driver is in the ditch wishing he had known to engage 4WD at that second. The news will report that the Tacoma driver "lost control" of his car, whereas the Murano driver "stayed in control".

Now that's a bleak picture, sure. I'm just using it to illustrate a point. There are two types of control. You'd never give root access to an average user. So does the Linux computer actually give them any more control? Or are you just giving them a Tacoma and locking it in 4WD for their own safety? If you give them a Corvette and then tell them to be careful or they will spin out and die, they will never let the RPMs go above 2k.
It remains to be seen if distributed rooftop generation will be a viable long term strategy. What is proven and viable, as an investment we can make today to combat climate change is nuclear power. It is truly insane that we continue to use fossil fuels decades after knowing what they are doing to humans and the planet.
Alternatively it tells you how heavily subsidized fossil fuel based peaker plants are. See the recent IMF report (not a group known for being idealistic hippies) for some numbers on that.
> If people who finally made it in turned around and went into government service and tried to fix the hellscape they went through, it would probably be better.

I suspect that people who are persistent and qualified enough to get through that legal system have opportunities to pursue better job opportunities. And at the other hand, I wouldn't expect them to be wealthy and successful enough to easily sacrifice their careers to work for a public cause full-time.

It's smart marketing to have an announcement this week to steal some of Apple's free press.
1) Available on most platforms (editing a file on the server.. emacs)
2) Its programable. You can store and replay key commands. I use this frequently to reformat data..
3) Steep Learning curve, but its fast once learned. Its hard to learn and takes a while. The basics are pretty straight forward, but not entirely intuitive.
4) Its extensible. Though I find it hard to manage add ons.
I use Org mode, but sometime have trouble remembering all the key commands.
5)Dired. Look up files and open.

For large projects I end up using the JetBrains IDEs. I think the "knowledge" of the project provides good insight. I think there are add ons to Emacs that will do the same thing. I haven't tried them. If I have to just open a file and edit, I'm happier in Emacs. I wish the IDE's would let you "bring your own editor"

If your happy with sublime keep using it.

Breaking the Enlightenment Spell
All of this, and I'd also love a way to pin radio stations.

Google Music keeps track of every radio station you create and listen to, but it is sorted by last played in a single list.

I have 10 radio stations that I really enjoy, but I try to not try out too many new ones in case I lose the ones I really like. It has happened a few times.

The "save queue" option is nice... but it destroys any discoverability off that station because it is now a static playlist.
Lets say there are lot of would-be-immigrants willing to respect the culture of prospective host country, become "American person", "NZ person" etc... (this doesn't necessary mean assimilation), but they are denied to do so. We need to fix this.
I'm not suggesting darwinism here, just availability of information. Assuming information or communication is not being actively suppressed (e.g. the Great Firewall), then it's up to individuals what culture(s) and traditions they want to uphold.
Well presumably, facebook and the surrounding ecosystem would offset those costs. Without hard data there is no way to run the proper analysis. Facebook as a company, and as a platform, have created a ton of value in America. Tesla has helped out import/export ratio, Stripe has allowed us to transact globally, and SpaceX has raised our competition in the space industry.
As much as I'd love this to have an impact, the cynic in me thinks that from the point of view of the UK government, this is 3 companies of no significance, so why would they care?

It will take some much heavier-weight businesses before the government will even be interested in listening.
That's crazy, total Canadian prison population (which is at an all time high) is 15000 people. Granted, it has 10% of the population, but you're saying there might be, per capita, more innocent people in American jails than people in Canadian prison.
The Fight for the Metaverse
> Besides, holding up Apple against the behavior or record labels, movie studios, and game companies - that's a pretty low bar, honestly.

Totally true, no question. My point is being that all the other actors are worse.

BTW Spotify and Pandora "pay per spin" but Pandora's payment turns out to be pretty low, and Spotify's is calculated to add up to a fixed portion, so how it is really paying per spin? It's the radio stations that actually pay per spin, but they don't pay per listener, so that's also a joke.
SUGARCRM API SEARCH and QUERY CAPABILITIES
Play Music's Youtube integration is a pointless distraction that makes me less likely to continue to pay for the service, not more.

If I want to watch music videos I'll go to the Youtube app. So damn annoying when I accidently tap the play video hover button when I really meant to swipe to the next song.

If it weren't for YouTube's popularity I'd say the integration was a sign of desperation.

I find a shave faster if anything - short quick strokes with a sharp razor decimates my thick facial hair faster than a triple blade cartridge.

I typically wait until my facial hair is pretty thick before shaving too. I use Jack Black's Face buff in the shower, then Jack Black's Beard Lube and layer Proraso on top of it. I'd be interested how well my shave would be if I used the same method with a cartridge.
I fail to see how your complaint is valid beyond just a personal disappointment and/or frustration. The two main bullet points in your post and my comments are :-

1. When the rest of the world sends America its best and brightest, America says, "Go away" : No country/entity sent you here. You came here of your own volition. You said that you have lived here legally. That means you followed the law. The US immigration enforcement agency also has a law to follow and they are precisely doing that. As a result of the law you are not qualified to become a permanent resident or citizen (yet). There is absolutely no law here that says the US is required to absorb all of the world's best and most skilled. It is not in the US constitution.

2. American immigration law leaves the skilled immigrant feeling like an indentured serf : I disagree w.r.t skilled immigration. It cannot be true as a blanket statement. All the labor laws treat US workers equally regardless of their immigration status. Some corporations misuse loopholes or down right violate them. That is not the fault of the immigration system. It is against the law and the law will punish those corporations/businesses to the extent that is practically possible (not an excuse for failure to do so). And where the laborers, skilled or otherwise, are being exploited it becomes the duty of lawmakers and enforcers to take action.

Each country has their own laws with regard to immigration. It is their right as a sovereign nation to craft laws as they see fit. In come countries it is almost impossible to permanently immigrate unless you are born there and in others you could virtually buy citizenship. Even the country you come from has immigration laws and I am certain that many find it burdensome or extremely difficult. But it is still within their right.

You can pin radio stations. Unfortunately it only grabs a handful of songs at the top of the playlist. So dumb.

Edit: Radio station downloading now seems to grab at least twice the amount it used to. Which puts it firmly in the "meh" category when it comes to usefulness.
For sure, that's part of why I love Google Music. They included Songza's "mood and activity" playlist picker, which is great.

My biggest issue with Songza was the lack of selection. They have some great playlists, but after listening all day they get pretty repetitive. Google Play seemed to have the benefits of Songza with way more selection.

Think about it this way:

Lots of stuff can burn and produce heat, but you don't just put any old flammable thing into your car, you use a specific type of refined petroleum that has well known properties that you can design an engine around.

Likewise, while lots of radioactive material can put off heat that can be used to drive a turbine, by using a specific blend of U235 and U238 the whole system operates in a controlled and well understood way.

There is a program to blend in plutonium from decommissioned nuclear bombs as a fuel for reactors, but it is fairly complex and probably wouldn't be done except for security / political reasons.

There are also designs on the drawing board for something akin to a garbage incinerator, the primary purpose would be to eliminate waste, but much or all of the energy to do so would come from the waste products themselves.
Language Learning Journal: Why You Need One and Where to Start
But you see, that's it. Those are the options. Option #4: treat people who want to immigrate with decency, isn't available.

I think it's fair to complain that this option doesn't exist, I'd like it to exist. But it doesn't and options #1-3 are what the author had to work within, yet chose not to pursue any of them.

If he still wants to get in, once he's back in New Zealand, he's free to continue pursuing permanent residency. Going back to New Zealand doesn't prevent him from continuing to pursue these options. But he simply doesn't have the tenacity to do it, not while he was in the U.S. and probably not once he returns home.
Just fyi: most countries do not operate a jus soli-based citizenship system. Probably because of the reasons you outline.
Time to Scrap Annual Performance Reviews?
I too would like to see such a comparison but # of songs isn't the important metric for me, it's # of songs I want to listen to. That's why I hate that metric, really just tell me which artists you have (or don't have, though this would never happen) that other services do not...
Sure, the law is ridiculous though. It'd be like trying to make it illegal for a shop assistant to remember you shopped there last thursday.

It's completely unenforceable.

I will never pay for one of these music streaming services.

You would think in a time when basic necessities are extremely cheap for a significant portion of the world population, people would be more willing to spend money on art. But instead, the vast majority would rather get something for free than pay for it. And the people who pay the $10/month for the convenience of Spotify or Google Play Music or Apple's music product don't care that only pennies of that actually goes to the artists.

All that the shift to all-you-can-eat streaming services has done is make it so that people feel they don't need to buy music (since they're paying for the right to stream any time, there's no value in purchasing a copy) and shift where the money goes away from artists.

I'm going to stick with supporting musicians directly, and do what I can to let people know that it's not that hard to do the same, and that artists appreciate even a little bit of support a LOT.
>I think the reason people resort to "undemocratic" and "backdoor" rhetoric is because they realize that once the treaty is put to a "it's this treaty or no treaty" vote, it will inevitably pass.

That's exactly what undemocratic means here. I.e. democratic process reduced to rubberstamping farce.

> The people who want a more "open" process really want more hooks earlier in the process to hold the whole treaty hostage to their interests.

People want laws to have democratic oversight instead of rubberstamping of shady deals. Saying that there is some formal approval is completely irrelevant when you admit that it can't change anything.

> That's not a value judgement. Many of those interests are extremely worthy. But they should be argued on their merits

That would be an argument of democracy vs plutocracy.

Rhabdomyolysis can definitely result from overexhertion, but it's really just general kidney overload due to excessive muscle cell death (which elevates the levels of cytokines in the bloodstream.)

For example, rhabdomyolysis is also known as "crush syndrome." People with limbs trapped under heavy objects sometimes experience catastrophic kidney failure once the object is removed, as their kidneys are confronted with the enormous load of dead muscle tissue compounds.

I had an issue with Proraso, but I started putting Jack Black's Beard Lube on first and it seems to make my shave much more smooth.

Lathering the Proraso takes seconds, rinse my brush with really hot water and put some hot water in the Proraso tub for a few seconds before dumping it out. Swirl around the brush for a few seconds and it's good to go.
Opening the Canadian border would not magically bring jobs back that have been moved to low wage countries.
I'm biased because I work for Google and dogfood Play Music, but for me it's a great combination of:

* A free music locker you can upload your songs to
* iTunes-like store, with non-DRM'ed files and offline support
* Spotify-like subscription service, with offline support
* Pandora-like radio stations, with the addition of "I'm Feeling Lucky" radio that adapts to your listening habits, and offline support :)
* Songza curated playlists/stations
* Great web and mobile apps
* YouTube video integration (I don't really use that though)
* Pretty decent discovery

What it lacks is Spotify-like social features: profiles, activity, etc.

edit: forgot the store.
Please do, thank you very much! This is an issue only on the radio page currently.

With spotify you can't select text anywhere. It was one of the most serious shortcomings for me because when I listen to a song and want to learn more about it, the web-browser way is “select -> right click -> search with google”. :)

@Tomte, thanks for the comment. I agree with your points and I updated the code today to more prominently reflect the actual entropy in a Diceware password (accounting also for standard diceware word and special chars that are manually added and add less entropy). I am calculating out the full Math.log2() value as well, not using the shorter estimate (e.g. 12.9/word). I also modified the zxcvbn and FAQ text to reflect that zxcvbn is likely overestimating entropy since it is expecting more traditional passwords and is not aware that it is calculating a diceware password. I think it is still helpful to show the zxcvbn output since it, or something like it, is likely to be used to estimate password strength on websites. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if you have any other comments.

Cheers,

Glenn
>Can you really earn that kind of valuation peddling new credit cards and refinanced loans?

I think so. That's a huge market.

Honestly, I think it is a win-win. I don't have any loans but if I were to have a big loan like a mortgage I would welcome offers from leaders who could save me a significant amount of money. Many people I know have refinanced their mortgages at some point in the life of the loan.
Good point. It also got a hefty tax writeoff.

That said, everyone does this to some extent. It's a bit different from intentionally obliterating competitors with dumped products cross-funded from profitable businesses.

Using downvotes to express disagreement is, unfortunately, not against site policy. So what you observe is the system working as intended. It is valuable to users who want to preserve that system, and who believe there is a strong correlation between karma and content quality (which is an assumption baked into all such ranking systems, and fundamental to HN's own culture.)

> Their algo is bloody awful, it seems to use one song as the basis for "I'm feeling lucky" and never mixes up genres.

Okay, so is the problem that "I'm feeling lucky" is bad because it "never mixes up genres", or...

> if you click "I'm feeling lucky" there's a 20% chance google music will only play me female artists. And it will spiral into genres I don't even like and have no songs thumbed up, purely because they're female too.

...is the complaint that "I'm feeling lucky" is bad because it does mix in genres you don't like based on the sex of the artist?

Because it can't be both.
