J0_k3r··on Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
\>Does this also apply to utility bills?

If people could cut costs by using electricity that isn't from their local state monopoly then definitely.

\>Just use non-copyrighted music. If that isn't enough, you need to pay or just live with it.

The original post is complaining about a lack of discovery, and you don't seem to care about finding any sort of solution to the problem originally posed.

No one's going to pay to advertise your crap, thus no one is going to listen to it.

J0_k3r··on Streaming Is Stalling: Can Music Keep Up in the Attention Economy?
Let's say you're a youtuber or streamer who listens to a variety of different music, are you really going to pay to license every one of your favorite songs for business use? No.

Instead they go to No Copyright Sounds or Kevin McLeod and grab their stuff instead because why are you going to sacrifice that money to license the music when you're small and starting out?

J0_k3r··on Ask HN: Have the Humanities Failed Society?
sounds like a yes to me
J0_k3r··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
Yang is part of the democratic party and therefore a democrat politician, there's no debate on this. The same can be said for ocasio-cortez.
J0_k3r··on Whither the Humanities: The Ten-Year Trend in College Majors (2019)
I think it's the start of one of the major trends of our new era. I predict that universities are going to drop HASS and bring in more trades programs. If that were to happen I wouldn't mind having them receive public funding.
J0_k3r··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
yes? you see people like yang advocating for things like UBI, and others like ocasio-cortez wanting similar programs along with other big spending programs like getting rid of student debt and free college.
J0_k3r··on Elon Musk moves to Texas

morality doesn't necessarily get better as time goes on. if you're a secular, then a place such as iran has got worse over time.
J0_k3r··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
you better vote red so your new state doesn't end up california 2.0
J0_k3r··on Elon Musk moves to Texas
No they're not. You don't define the overton window, society does. I'm right of the democrats but I'm not far right, that's the society we live in.

J0_k3r··on United States Department of Jutice Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framwork
the part of this document I found most interesting was the part about privacy coins or "anonymity enhancing cryptocurrencies (AECs)" as the DOJ likes to call them. they see them as a threat.

J0_k3r··on OpenBSD 6.8 Changelog
One of the most notable changes is wg(4), an in-kernel driver for Wireguard vpn communication. It is a complete reimplementation of wireguard so there's nothing gnu licensed in it.
J0_k3r··on Ask HN: What improvements would you make to the education system?
I can be less miserable perfectly fine without taking some dumb course on literature.
J0_k3r··on Ask HN: What improvements would you make to the education system?
I disagree completely and think the reverse. It's the humanities people who don't know the first thing about science or technology. It's not my fault that management is always full of incompetents
J0_k3r··on Ask HN: How did you get started in tech and/or Linux?
It was around 2014, and I had just started secondary school (k-7 for primary, 8-12 for secondary) and I had no friends, I decided I wanted to build a computer and I ended up deciding to install linux on it (I had some previous experience running minecraft servers) and from there on out I was in. I never had many friends in secondary school and my mom was always working, and I didn't want to wander around town getting into trouble so I spent my teenage years alone working at the computer learning to sysadmin stuff. I'm in uni now doing a compsci degree so I guess it all worked out right? Still don't know what there is for me in the fog of the future but hopefully when it clears I will bask in the light of the sun.

I'd also like an answer for this.
J0_k3r··on Beta users of Starlink get downloads of 11 to 60 Mbps
you misunderstand. I was saying that a special exception should be made for meshnets and only meshnets, and for no other application on the ham bands.
J0_k3r··on Beta users of Starlink get downloads of 11 to 60 Mbps
this has been done with radio-based meshnets like the puget sound data ring for years, the government hasn't updated the legislation to allow encryption and commercial data on said meshnets, making them useless. we could already be providing free internet to millions if it weren't for the government and their dumb regulations.
J0_k3r··on Beta users of Starlink get downloads of 11 to 60 Mbps
we've been able to do this for years using radio-based meshnets but the government won't update the legislation to allow encryption and commercial data on them making them pretty much useless. you wouldn't even need to pay for it.
J0_k3r··on Uber CEO says its service will probably shut down temporarily in California
We're not. Everyone just likes to pretend that they are. Every white girl likes to virtue signal about how awesome they are but the reality is that white people have the lowest [0] miscegenation rate. The reality is that those who most claim to be against bigotry are often those who most perpetuate it.
