This data isn't of much use for analysis without all the startups that failed or didn't get acquired. This is like trying to analyze average height by nationality using a sample consisting of professional basketball players for each country

I use linode for this and while it works on other sites like pandora, no dice on hulu. I get a "sorry, unable to stream this video. check your internet connection" message. Figured maybe they ban IP address blocks belonging to known hosts.

doctorow doesn't have a "get rid of everything" position on copyright. i don't know where you got that from. He argues creators should still maintain a monopoly on selling their art. but back to your original claim, you may not like his wri

How are his writings "fairly clueless"? Any examples? I've found him to be a very clear thinker wrt to copyright and privacy. I've read a little of his fiction and that wasn't bad either. The blog he started btw is also reliably interesting

this doesn't belong here, please read the guidelines. It's also so preposterous that I'm marking it off as a troll.

Yes, post quality is one of the factors. My point is that of course there is plenty of gaming going on and it's of the simplest form. The leaderboard only encourages this gaming mentality.

Most of the users in the leaderboard are there by the sheer amount of their posts rather than by being particularly insightful or controversial.

Yes, I think it's clearly true. However, I don't think pg means people will be sitting at their desks to watch shows or movies. In many cases watching TV is a communal activity. People will just start getting media boxes or otherwise hookin

I can think of ways of estimating even what personal play-time different artist get. Maybe something voluntary a la audio-scrobble. That post isn't just about the technical problems though, for example: "We’re paying a tax to a system not

Considering the insane amounts of traffic they get and the kinds of ads they serve, I'd be hard pressed to believe they weren't making a small fortune.
