Honestly, I don't mind the idea that you the creator, personally, holds the copyright for life. If I write a song in my 20s that sets the world on fire and I can still live a good life at 80 off the back of it, great. The minute I sell

That's a really clever idea! Although I would have much preferred they didn't use it at all... :-/

This is very close to home (sadly). Someone I worked with recently put the "X of these sold in the last 24 hours" across a load of product pages as an example of "things we should be doing to increase conversion." It did

I have absolutely no idea on how this all works, but assuming they're not replicating the current 'key' and forcing a new one - why not introduce a time delay on key changes? Like a reprogrammed key takes 3 hours before it wo

This man will be missed. He did so much and inspired so many people. 41 is too young.

Spotify Android here. The shuffle is completely removed for me when playing an album. It's still there for playlists. FWIW I'm fine with this change. I can't see when I'd ever want to resequence an album, but if I do I c

Maybe check nearlyfreespeech.net? They're relatively cheap, have happily taken a couple of pretty large traffic spikes on stuff I've done in the past and have an API to create new sites. Edit: link - https://members.nea

It was a long time ago that I read it, but I'm pretty sure Richard Feynman says something similar in "Surely You're Joking..." I can't remember his exact words, but my takeaway was not to be afraid of asking super b

Definitely not arguing your local bookstore isn't a nicer place to buy a book from! But I'd disagree that (especially once you're in the ecosystem) buying something on Amazon isn't pretty frictionless. Re "I'd

Yeah, perhaps. And I'm not really arguing for or against here. But using the Amazon example - a mass of people DO know about it. As a seller it makes sense for me to sell there as well as my own website - I'm likely never to outra

Isn't this a bit like the ecom thing? Like - I want to buy a "Philips Electric Toothbrush". I could go and buy it on their own site. But I'll probably (sorry) go straight to Amazon. Searching and checking out on Amazon

Oddly they cover the three things I most want in the FAQ- directions? Spotify? WhatsApp? The answer is no to all. I'd take a phone without a web browser or anything else if I could have these three.
