This is way off topic, but ska is my oldest nickname. Hluska is my last name and it’s just a shortened version. It was even one of my usernames back in the day. Ska is such an enduring nickname that anyone who knows me well in person could

When you get started, make sure that the project interests you. The language doesn’t matter much because if you keep going, the code will embarrass you in six months anyways. The project itself doesn’t even matter much as long as it interes

I’m in my late forties and have been battling a terrible back problem for the last 16 months. Sadly, it was caused by my own decision to stick to barebones instead of upgrading decades earlier. The 16 months have been extremely expensive, t

You won’t find this answer very satisfying, so feel free to ask questions. But it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If you’re sticking with defaults, it’s very easy - it’s less than ten minutes of work or seconds if you’re comfor

I founded and ran a non profit for several years while I worked for a startup. I am the polar opposite of an elite. That’s just how non profits work.

Asking someone to choose one or the other is not the same as firing them. It’s clearly written that if Sam Altman had chosen YC he would have stayed there.

Not really. I found data that shows that released singles aren’t necessarily placed first on a side.

I’m not sure about this. Thriller (by Michael Jackson) is one of the biggest pop songs of all time. It was also the fourth track on the A side. Bohemian Rhapsody (another one of the best selling singles of all time) was the fourth track on

If you ignore KMD, Elektra was reasonably artist friendly back in the day. They were able to sign some bands like the Stooges, MC5, Phish and even Del tha funkee homosapien on that basis. Selling rights over an artist’s objections (especial

If it’s coevolution, why did they try to hire Scarlett Johansson? Why not just stick to their guns that it’s “the most attractive female voice”?

Honestly pal, I really appreciate you trying! I’m one of very few people strange enough to care about the minutiae of this. I’m grateful that you jumped into my weird rabbit hole with me for awhile. It was kind of you to try to help me.

You come across as being extremely condescending. And I’m sure you make some good points, but I can’t find them behind the tone. It’s a shame because again, I’m sure you make good points.

That says he asks for permission. His new song would generate songwriter credits and they’re paid out totally differently from regular royalties. Is that what you mean by him paying for rights?

Does Weird Al pay rights? I know he asks for permission to maintain his relationships with artists and to make sure he gets his share of songwriting credits (and the fees). But does he pay for rights? I’ve never seen that before and I’d lov

If we assume that Scarlett Johansson is telling the truth, why would they try to resume negotiations with her two days before they launched the model? If they found a good actor whose voice sounds like Scarlett Johansson, that’s a great arg
