The notification buttons have always felt a little squishy and unresponsive since they were added. They’re terrible.

Interesting but I wasn't entirely convinced that it's fake. There might be more to this story. Maybe the seller is the one who got scammed when they bought it 20 years ago.

Yes, I think some of the items here are reasonable but some of them (like full virtualization of desktop OS) don’t fit the iPad model. Just get a Mac at that point.

In CentOS/RedHat you can add `quickack 1` to the end of a route to tell it to disable delayed acks for that route.

Does anyone know of a good way to enable TCP_NODELAY on sockets when you don't have access to the source for that application? I can't find any kernel settings to make it permanent, or commands to change it after the fact.

I've been able to disable delayed acks using `quickack 1` in the routing table, but it seems particularly hard to enable TCP_NODELAY from outside the application.

I've been having exactly the problem described here lately, when communicating between an application I own and a closed source application it interacts with.

1. The article literally says ‘ “Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers that own the rights for music, and represent and pay artists and songwriters," it continues.’

2. It’s a simplified example for explanatory purposes

There were multiple responses questioning how this was different, so I'll respond here:

- 2 users, A and B, each pay $10/month

- User A listens to 20 Taylor Swift songs

- User B listens to 5 Radiohead songs

- Spotify gets a 30% cut

Currently:

- Spotify gets $6

- Taylor Swift gets $11.20

- Radiohead gets $2.80

If each subscriber's bill was split separately:

- Spotify gets $6

- Taylor Swift gets $7

- Radiohead gets $7

So this change would benefit artists that less active Spotify users listen to.

Right now the less active users are paying to support the listening of the most active users.

Personally this would make me feel like my money is more directly supporting the artists I care about.

Yes the second half seemed like a lot of reworded repeats. These 50 points could be 30. But still a good list.

I think it doesn’t work because the footer covers it. That seems to be the problem on my iPhone.

Yes that’s the first thing I thought of. Seems like a terrible name for an app meant to strengthen relationships. App idea seems good but my unsolicited advice would be to change the name asap.

article gets it wrong and sounds like a WorldCoin press release in the first sentence:

"The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has cautioned Kenyans against sharing their details with WorldCoin, a financial public utility that allows the public to easily access digital currencies without the need for a third party to facilitate the transactions."

I was also very surprised by the lack of polish visible in the first 15 minutes of gameplay. It’s still a very good looking game but there are enough rough edges that it’s noticeable and doesn’t seem up to Blizzard’s old standards.

That’s a stretch
