After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

bandcamp is nice. They give much more to artist, and allow you to download flac. So that you can enjoy your music without worrying about your listening habits feeding the machine.

Our share is 15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods. Payment processor fees are separate and vary depending on the size of the transaction, but for an average size purchase, amount to an additional 4-7%. The remainder, usually 80-85%, goes directly to the artist or their label, and we pay out daily.

What if I am allergic to cicadas? The article doesn’t seem to specify that case.

This is a violation of GDPR, no?

EDIT: user created content is not directly protected under GDPR, only personally identifiable data is pertected under GDPR.

baseless_discourse,

User should have the right to delete their data stored by the company.

baseless_discourse,

I am not a expert or a lawyer, but I believe user actually hold the right to completely erase personal data:

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay

Note the word “erasure” as opposed to “anonymize”

I am not a lawyer, but I believe in general, yes.

Git is not even that convoluted, as all the history is stored in the .git folder within the repo. Unless there is some convoluted structure built on top, they would only need to move the repo folder to a trash disk, waiting to be formated.

That being said, GDPR is somewhat poorly enforced at the moment, unfortunately. I don’t know if you can sue the company and expect some result within couple of years.

And it is actually published by OP (in the image), finally, a meme that is not a repost.

I also hope one day bio/chem community can move away from paywalled platform like nature and science to more reasonable publishers.

Oh no, are we calling non-negative integers “whole numbers” now? There are proposals to change bad naming in mathematics, but I hope this is not one of them.

On the other hand, changing integer to whole number makes perfect sense.

I think if you ask any mathematician (or any academic that uses math professionally, for that matter), 0 is a natural number.

There is nothing natural about not having an additive identity in your semiring.

countable infinite set are unique up-to bijection, you can count by rational numbers if you want. I don’t think counting is a good intuition.

baseless_discourse, (edited )

On the contrary - to be countabley infinite is generally assumed to mean there exists a 1-1 correspondence with N.

Isn’t this what I just said? If I am not mistaken, this is exactly what “unique up-to bijection” means.

Anyways, I mean either starting from 1 or 0, they can be used to count in the exactly same way.

I don’t personally know many programming languages that provide natural number type in their prelude or standard library.

In fact, I can only think of proof assistants, like Lean, Coq, and Agda. Obviously the designer of these languages know a reasonable amount of mathematics to make the correct choice.

(I wouldn’t expect the same from IEEE or W3C, LOL

baseless_discourse,

Oh, array indexing, sure.

baseless_discourse, (edited )

BTW, 0 is typically considered a scalar. As in mathematics scalar is typically defined as a field, which would require an additive identity, namely 0.

If the recipient doesn’t have the public key, they can’t read the content.

Sir, if your recipients don’t have a public key, you cannot even encrypt the message… That is how asymmetric-key crypto works.

Plus there isn’t many jurisdictions with stronger privacy law than the swiss. It is unlike they made a bad choice for choosing a headquarters.

I guess they can operate on the public sea or the arctic, but I imagine the commute will be terrible.

I think this is just 表弟 (younger male cousin). 老表 is too casual to be used as a tag in phone book.

I am sure they are not guilty of some shady deeds.

But I would much prefer billionaire to build documentary convincing people to consume less; than pretending to care about the environment, while designing their product to be dysfunctional after couple years (apple); or force woman to give birth to rapists’s children ( businessinsider.com/amazon-cola-walmart-donate-an… ).

baseless_discourse,

This is why you buy laptop from companies that officially support linux.
