nijiko··on Show HN: Hacker News Redesign
1. Hard to grasp concept of Y-Meter as a new user, and even for those in the know, it's a visual overload. Numbers provide greater clarity. 2. The white is hard to read, because of font and font-weight. 3. Comment bubble to the side is out of direct sight and forces me to divide my focus, thus making it harder to scan.

It's nice visually, but needs more love in the UX area.

nijiko··on The YouTube Contract for Indies
I've updated it to clarify what was meant, also, itunes does a better job of acknowledging other companies, and date references.
nijiko··on The YouTube Contract for Indies
Transcription from comments on the site.

Key Points

1. Removes windowing, unless you give youtube offers within reason (but what reason?). (Part 4/3b)

2. Google forces you to offer them comparable offers.

3. Parts of the contract are Illegal in many countries.

4. Prevents future sales through multiple means.

Major Paragraph:

“Catalogue Commitment and Monetization. It is understood that as of the Effective Date and throughout the Term, Provider’s entire catalogue of Provider Sound Recordings and Provider Music Videos (including Provider Music Videos delivered via a third party) will be available for the Premium and Free Services for use in connection with each type of Relevant Content, (excluding AudioSwap Recordings, which will be at Provider’s option) and set to a default policy of Monetize for both the Premium and Free Services, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Further, Provider will provide Google with the same Provider Sound Recordings and Provider Music Videos on the same day as it provides such content to any other similarly situated partners. The foregoing will be subject to reasonable quantity of limited-time exclusive promotional offers (in each case, with a single third party partner) (“Limited Exclusives”), as long as a) Provider provides Google with comparable exclusive promotional offers and b) the quantity and duration of such Limited Exclusives do not frustrate the intent of this Agreement.”

Meaning:

YouTube not only forces artists to make their entire catalogs available on its free service however, it also demands that it happens on release day, online AND off-line.

This prevents future sales — i.e. YouTube users can now download all songs for free, which means there’s no need for anybody to buy music from iTunes anymore.

Side notes:

3. Rate Change. To the extent that any major label agrees to any rates for the Google Services that are lower than the rates set forth in Exhibits C or D, including with respect to bundling, Google will have the right to reduce Provider’s analogous rates accordingly, following thirty (30) days written notice (via email will be sufficient) to Provider.

Uhm... my contact list supports social networks, even integrates with snapchat, twitter, instagram, etc...

Maybe it's apple that is lacking in this notion, but it's something android has been doing for years?

false, they buy through vendors so they don't make 100% of the profit.

Yay, easy way to confirm false transactions :D
nijiko··on My ECMAScript 7 wishlist
Better things to wish for:

- async / promise / await

- object merging / cloning (with options / deep)

- array properties instead of methods (ruby style, array.first, array.last, array.empty, array.contains, etc...)

- lets not forget other object types that need methods, Number, Boolean, String (.equals, .equalsIgnoreCase, etc...)

Let's just say, javascript could be a lot better :P

nijiko··on My ECMAScript 7 wishlist
if (array && !array.length) { /* do something here */ }

Check existence as well, this also works for a jQuery selection.

nijiko··on Storj – Blockchain-based decentralized storage network
The encryption part would be trivial (to a certain degree), but then thousands of people could potentially store incriminating chains on their computers, should they be seized, it would be for the worst.
nijiko··on The purpose of DRM is not to prevent copyright violations (2013)
Eh, at the end of the day, there are thousands of ways to go around it, so why implement it in the first place?

People pay for things that are good, easy to pay for, are appropriately priced, and not a burden or expense more than they see it worth (has to deal with pricing and roadblocks). DRM, and poor delivery services are usually those roadblocks.

Capturing, decompiling the code will give you the routes / hardware key access points which you can then manipulate by pretending to be whatever they expect, et voila assuming you can decompile the transcoded information being passed along.

You can simplify this even further by using frameworks like lodash / underscore or ES6 native methods.
