The "digital signature" description gives the impression that the signed message is encrypted with the private key and later decrypted with the public key.
Is this how message signing works in reality? I had a different mental model.
> I hope that Pocket Casts can do for podcast clients what Firefox in the early days and Chromium now does for browsers — push the state of the art, be manically focused on user control, and grow a more decentralized and open web.
It's pretty funny to see the claim that Chromium is "manically focused on user control" and "is growing a more decentralised and open web" :-)
Surprised and happy to see this! I was an avid user of the old Turntable.fm which sadly shut down. (I would love to get an invite for the new service if anyone has any ;) )
Related, there is also jqbx.fm which integrates with Spotify which is basically the same thing, can recommend.
"Bombay Beach (2011)" is a documentary that depicts life in a once-bustling settlement by the Salton Sea, can recommend:

This seems similar to what is used internally at AppSpotr[1] (disclaimer: I'm a former employee). They also use JSON to represent apps that can be rendered in iOS/Android clients. The difference is that apps must be built using a WYSIWYG editor rather than by editing the JSON directly.
From my experience, a JSON representation works very well for a big percentage of all the apps out there, and you can often do without custom code. Good job creating this open-source version, it looks very expressive and useful!
I've come to roughly the same conclusion as the author; namely, that I should focus on figuring out my real motivations and work to fulfill them, rather than blindly follow the "more-money-more-happiness" default route provided for all of us.
I find it interesting that other commenters react so strongly to this article. I think the article is a sobering one, and that the author makes a good point. After thinking about it, if you come to the conclusion that more money _is_ what you need to fulfill your goals, then by all means go ahead. Introspection is never wrong.
This might be slightly off-topic, but I'll try it here anyway: can anyone recommend any books/other learning resources for someone who wants to grasp neural networks?
I'm a CS student who finds the idea behind them really exciting, but I'm not sure where to get started.
