I love this app for podcasts, but their file upload has a 1gb file limit which is a bit limiting for some books.

I've been using plex for this. You can configure a music library to store playback position and organize like books with tags and then use either Prologue (ios) or Chronicle (android). Prologue is a lot more polished, but I get by with

I don't understand this comment. The DOJ bringing charges has to be step one towards that end. The same exact thing is happening with Boeing, we just didn't hear about it until after they negotiated a settlement. This happens all

The DOJ certainly seems to think a law was broken. As I see it you charge the most obvious person and let them try to blame someone else. Eventually you either find people you can blame and if you can't go up a level until you reach th

I've dabbled in kickstarters over the years, but my main exposure to them is through the podcast "Your Kickstarter Sucks". It's quite entertaining. http://yourkickstartersucks.com/

I had a very similar experience in NW New Mexico. I expect to go off pavement for this sort of thing, but eventually we faded into what was very uneven dirt. Luckily we could tell someone had come that way in the last day because of an inch

How does the listing status affect employees with lockups? If you can't sell for a month (or whatever), wouldn't you benefit from any increase in price immediately after listing? If the price when the lockup period ends is the sam

For what it's worth, I don't think I had to do that for ubuntu on steam to get it to work back in April.

Palantir is a b2b product. What makes you think "twitter activists" lead most of the anti-tech crusades? If it's based on your observations of them on twitter, that probably says more about where you're looking than wher

Where did they expand the selection? I thought everything on youtube was already in google music. I found a lot of things I used to stream from google music missing from youtube, but I've since gotten off entirely, so I haven't fo

Does github actually have to honor every request that comes in? I thought the youtubes of the world did that because of the volume, but hypothetically, couldn't they do some due diligence and push back on requests they don't think

In a 10 second glance at closed PRs, it doesn't seem like they ever merge any from the public.

I made the switch to plex because of the end of google music. You can get a tidal subscription through plex which has worked ok. It still separates your libraries, but you can create combined playlists.

The google -> youtube music transition finally got me to self host too. I've been pretty happy with plex. Getting my playlists out has actually been the only sticking point, so this has inspired me to see if there's a reasonabl

using "percent of taxes" is an arbitrary metric. Why not ask about percent of wealth? I assume because "taxfoundation.org" is in the business of lowering taxes, which is only one of many things to be optimized in the US

In the US, at least, your license plate can get scanned by cameras driving around and you show up on security cameras (with improving facial recognition). What's a domain analogous to computers without tracking? I suppose all those are

The positive spin on this is that it allows for more "consumer" choices. With 300 million people, it's easy to find a few individuals pushed into a worse situation. People consistently underrate how bad the status quo is.

In theory you can predict the total cost for things covered by insurance, but there are many layers of complex bureaucracy involved and the insurance company is actively trying to get you to fall through a crack and end up on the hook for a

In the version of TDD I've been exposed to, you only write the minimum number of tests to cover your next feature. It's still iterative. I do more TDD on exploratory work than something fully formed because I can work in a narrow

That's surely what they're doing. Of course, they probably chose a bad time for this. If those customers are social distancing, probably fewer of them will be inconvenienced than before. I share one car with two people, so used ub

My favorite is Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease. I had this as a child and it wasn't until filling out a medical form as an adult that I learned it was a name and not "leg calf perthes" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki
