Ask HN: Why does some music labels hide their albums on Allmusic.com?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10412420Now and then when I visit http://allmusic.com and click an album I get an error page saying "Due to label restrictions, we are no longer permitted to display this information on AllMusic."I find this very strange, why on earth would a label restrict information about an album they have?So I asked Allmusic that question and got this response from Zac Johnson, Senior Product Manager: "If I felt as though I was comfortable going into the intricacies of the deals that are in place between a specific worldwide distributor and our data provider, I would detail it further, but the truth is that it's an area that I don't want to poke further."Example album: "The Definition" by Jon Bellion. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jon-bellion-mn0003006966/discography (click the album link to see the error message)To see the response from Allmusic, go here: https://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/some-albums-are-unreachableCan HN shed some light on what's going on?

Ask HN: Real Estate Devs, how did you acquire MLS listings?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10341118As those familiar with RE know, regional MLSes are the central hub for local property listings and the golden hoard of data protected by the dragon that is the local realty association.Getting an API key (from what I can tell) requires getting licensed as a REALTOR, finding a licensed broker to hire you, etc, etc.Are there any developers on HN who have built a RE app and would like to share their experiences? Did you pay for an API key, work out a deal with a broker, or what?I'd be much obliged for any help or advice. Thanks HN!

Brewster Is the Worst App Everhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10153601This morning, I saw a message in my inbox that said John Smith, a pseudonym for an old friend, which said (and I quote verbatim):"[John] asked us to reach out and confirm they have your latest info"John never asked Brewster to reach out. He simply clicked on a message in his inbox that told him the same lie: "[some old friend] has asked us to reach out and confirm your latest info" and in turn it spammed all of his contacts with the same deceitful message.It is embarrassing to have an app lie to my contacts, some of whom I don't wish to contact and certainly not have an app lie and suggest that I have interest in reconnecting with them. There are people in my inbox, including a whole bunch of the truly forgotten kind (ex girlfriend's, slimy ex business contacts, etc) whom I'd never want to open any sort of contact with, never mind asking them to confirm their latest info.Clearly, Brewster is a scam spread by outright deception.Google is to blame, too.

Ask HN: Staying Happyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10104051I really remember it, back to the time when i was in college, i have so much tasks. I needed to attend campus club. Lots of assignment. But the fact i was happy still surprises me.It has been ~1.5 years since i graduated from my college and got to work as a software engineer. I got decent job with decent salary (at least pretty good in my area). The workplace itself considered as a "fun" environment: sleeping pod, ping pong table, coffee machine and no cubicles. Also, workload is lighter than class assignments. But it seems like i am not happy anymore -- i don't know why. (Btw, yes, i do love coding. I do some of my pet projects in weekend)I tried to do so much things (to try) making myself happier: Cycling around the city, playing some game with friends; but none of them seems to be working.After all, i want to create happiness, not to "do something" or "buy something" to make myself happy. I know happiness is intrinsic and subjective. Two persons doing a same thing may perceive that

Ask HN: Blockchainshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10032099More and more noise seems to be appearing about blockchains. I see the small benefit of use in transactions between organisations, but am struggling for the case for private blockchains and some points of cryptocurrency in general. I don’t know if this is the best place to ask, but everything online is full of jargon and is inaccessible to me.I have a few questions:- What are the benefits of using a private blockchain (should I be thinking of it as a replacement to a General Ledger?)? Is this just another name for a ledger with auditable history?- Can a blockchain exist without mining or without a currency/coin? Will all private blockchains need a “coin”? (eg the Goldman Sachs coin or ABC plumbing coin?)And another couple of broader questions- What keeps people interested in a blockchain (and currency) once all of the easy mining is done eg, for people joining later?- I see that transaction costs for bitcoin keep rising, is that related to the size of the blockchain?- I thought bitcoin

MacOS is the new Windowshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9816994I'm typing this on my late 2010 MacBook Air. Recently I was starting having problems with it (you know when you type your password and the system does not recognize your key presses, etc.). And I thought, “Oh, ok, I have to accept that we live in a world of planned obsolesce (how else faster-than-a-gigahertz multi-gigabyte-RAM machine could become slow? If it is capable of real-time response to user's actions, it should respond in real-time) and I have to upgrade to get my job done”.So I switched to this new aesthetically marvelous wonder: an early 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro. In 5 days I'm using it the machine restarted two (or three?) times "because of problems" though it has much less software installed than my old rock-stable-in-comparison MacBook Air. And now I'm installing an OS update which already restarted my system twice. First it restarted the system, than it said, “Ooops, I cannot verify the update”, fiddled with it for several more minutes, restarted-downloaded-restarted... W

Patriot Act Section Goes Way Too Farhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9628531Via: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/letters/2015/05/29/letter-patriotact-sunset-senate-spying/28185561/"Section 215 of the Patriot Act is scheduled to sunset on Monday. This law was secretly interpreted to allow the mass surveillance of who you talk to on the phone. Such information can be deeply intimate and private: Consider, for instance, what you could infer from a record of numerous calls to a local oncology center and pharmacies. Section 215 is a pointless, expensive intrusion into the private life of every American. On May 22, the Senate voted against extending Section 215. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has indicated he will bring it up again for a last­minute vote on Sunday. I write to encourage local readers to ask their senators, especially McConnell and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, not to extend these surveillance provisions because they run counter to the spirit and letter of the Constitution.
