I'd love to know how you got the initial data on your servers. Did you just do a massive API scrape of IMDB, Amazon, Netflix etc? How do you keep it up to date?

This article actually highlighted that my development of a web app has gotten sidetracked by the lure of VC investment and general tech startup mentality which has thrown me way off course. I know my industry and should be "dogfooding&

Try Transfer Wise. It's a very useful middle ground between the current method of SWIFT and the potential of Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. It costs much less than a SWEIFT transfer and is much quicker.

I think you're attacking 2 different things here. One is chasing happiness, the other is the commercialisation of chasing happiness. I have no problem with the former. I think it's healthy to try to lead an enjoyable and happy lif

>as you come in contact with other people, you eat dirt, you hang around farm animals, etc, these are all mother nature's way of helping you develop that microbiome I find that way of personifying our environment counter productive.

It's only frightening if it's not deliberate / you don't know it's happening. This is beautiful, voluntary and insightful.

The key here is the majority of the content on your Facebook feed is what your friends and family post. Your friends and family's posts have massive meaning to your life, and you will take on board their sentiment more than, say, an ad

Same thing happened to us, but with a couple of official remixes released on a sub-label of universal. The issue is that the content gets removed before you're able to verify it's yours. I feel like they would have avoided a lot o

People might be downvoting this because of it's tone, but it's correct. If you're putting up radio shows, DJ sets or anything that uses other people's music you need to clear each track in it. Owning a piece of music doe

The first thing I thought of as a successful independent music producer - are my tracks on there? And why are they trying to steal away my 0.000000001c that Spotify pays me? (exaggeration for effect) Also, why the opinion that listening to
