This is in contention with the usual developer gripe about being interrupted from focus. Sometimes the blocker is your teammate who doesn’t like interruptions. Or a junior has been told to or assumes they need to “figure it out” and wastes

There is still a similar vein of productivity and hustling. Ask HNs are often about side project, productivity hacks, and income streams. Show HNs and blogs are the same topics, but actualized. It’s the same treadmill, but instead you feel

The majority of the recorded music revenue pie appears to go to a small group at the top of the pops, and I don’t think that has changed since the 90s. Perhaps the scraps are being fought over by a larger pool, but the demand for alternativ

Sure, but CO2 is not the only product of methane oxidation and methane in the atmosphere can be stabilized if emission is stabilized. The same is not true for CO2 and the current CO2 warming contribution is worse.

Seems odd the title even mentions landfills and the comments here are focused on them, since despite the largest hourly producer of methane mentioned being a landfill, they are largely glossed over! Based on the map, landfill emissions are

I bet they would have made more money by offering subscriptions on iOS despite the fee because of the reduced friction for consumers. Spotify, epic, et al just want to have their cake and eat it too.

It’s easier than ever to make music and sell it on Spotify or elsewhere (especially without a label), which is a double edged sword: an artist is competing against everyone else who joined the talent pool.

Yea, I don’t get it either. This makes sense as a spam reduction move. If an emerging artist wants to make money, you would probably be more successful performing live until you boost your numbers significantly.

I listen to a lot of music under 1000 streams, artists with 10s to 100s of monthly listens. Based on the junk that makes it to my discover weekly or release radar, some big percent of that <1000 listen cohort is spam that’s ai generated

It seems like domestic manufacturers weren’t able to compete on price or quality in the decades preceding the collapse of the industry either.

Pretty much every middleman or service provider in every industry takes a cut, whether by charging you more than they paid or a fee for their service. For some reason people think software is uniquely exempt from this transaction. Nvidia an

My gut says “fundamental thinking errors” is a Britishism without the connotations you’re inferring. I often find odd or blunt turn of phrase not out of place in the context of British media.

Sometimes I don’t blame people for committing the ‘sin’ of leaving commented code; unless you know that code used to exist in a previous version, it may well have never existed.

I’ve only ever seen the long, skinny “Persian” cucumbers in plastic and don’t buy them for that reason (maybe I should). Regular “fat” and pickle cucumbers are rarely in plastic, if ever.

It’s pretty crazy to me that Kroger is looking to buy/merge with Albertsons (Safeway) with basically no opposition. I generally prefer Kroger brand stores, but I can’t imagine this will be good for consumers in any sense.

My impression is PEX is the standard for modern plumbing, but I don't know about drains specifically. Maybe we will find it also has issues, but it seems like every modern material has externalities.

I’d probably rather the opposite, dollar bills and no coins. There are very few things I can spend less than $1 on and coins are much more annoying to carry.

M7 is a mixed ice and rock grade and AI5+ is an alpine (permanent) ice grade. A0 is easy aid climbing, most likely hanging on hammered pitons or nuts. The mixed and ice grade implies the rock climbing is around 5.11 (harder than most recrea

I’d guess that something like 80% of fees are shouldered by 20% of folks (or maybe 60/40, 70/30). The bottom quarter to half of Americans probably don’t have large entertainment and travel budgets.

Better than just giving a junior task and some guard rails to “figure it out”, I’m sure. Even just the first bit about structured (rather than ad box) intro to internal tools and processes would have been huge when I started me first job. A

You can run the software with BSL. You simply need to run it in non-production. A totally different restriction, yes, but a restriction that goes against OPs “no restriction to run” clause none the less.

> The BSL license is not an Open Source license because it restricts users' freedom to run the program however they wish. I’m no expert, but how is this any different than AGPL restrictions/requirements to redistribute source c

I would assume for dell, hp, and lenovo, corporate sales through other channels drive the majority of sales so consumer facing websites are left to rot.

Is there a risk if rates are too low with a transition to residential/on-site solar that PGE will further be unable to afford critical maintenance? Although transition to EVs may mitigate a drop in grid consumption due to solar.

What a weird take. Unless you have immaculate email filtering or receive very few emails, it’s not hard for emails to slip through the cracks. You can complain about someone “not meeting half way” in a phone call or IM with read receipts, b
