Article specifically calls how they're axing military and first responder discounts, how you still get upcharged for HiFi if you use their DJ Integration feature, and how they're nixing the free tier.

The article is not an advertisement; it contains some good news for consumers and some bad news for consumers. The notable bit is the good news, hence it's the headline. And it's notable exactly because it's good news


most everyone else is raising prices across the board.

Yes, it is. It may not be interesting to you, but it is (as others said) noteworthy when a company bucks the trend of the industry.

This type of story is business journalism


it's not world news or politics, but it's still news. And the article isn't as rosy as the headline


they are still upcharging for the HiFi service if you used the DJ Integration feature (no idea what this is, I don't use Tidal), and they're axing military and first responder discounts.

Yeah, "increasing market share" would be something like Netflix ditching FreeBSD for Linux.

For me, an Android for personal, iPhone for work.

One of them is a phone that mostly works the way I want it to; the other is a phone that...mostly works the way I want it to.

I'm in the USA, and I certainly don't use the imperial system exclusively


my (domestic) education was in metric (undergrad and grad school), and now I work at an American company and use metric exclusively.

And yes, I get confused sometimes. Often I get time and currency confused, so if something is $1.59 I think it's a penny shy of $2, for instance.

And Kelvin for really low temperatures, too. mK used a lot more than MK in many a physics lab...

So, uh...what's your favorite window function?

Does the raspberry pi have a wifi adapter, and is it unused for your project?

If so, you can use your pi as an access point


no need for cables, you just connect your laptop to the pi's SSID.

Downside is that now your laptop doesn't have Internet access, which may be a deal breaker (unless you can plug your pi into a router and get access through it). You could just get a cheap USB wifi dongle for your laptop and use one interface for Internet, one for pi.

Hostapd is probably how you would go about this of you're interested ( https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software )

I use a Dvorak keyboard and am not very creative.

It's relatively common for nice metal bikes to go the unfinished metal route...if they're made of titanium.

I believe CCR said this rather eloquently:

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand

Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?

But when the taxman come to the door

Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
