I don’t really understand your comment. Personally I thought this was an interesting read - and more interesting because it didn’t contain any massive “WE DID THIS AND IT CHANGED PUR LIVES!!!” style revelations. It is discursive, thoughtful

Agree, my first thought was “an invoicing platform that has had problems sounds like something I want to avoid…” And even though it’s about the rough year you’ve had from a personal perspective it highlights the fact that you are a sole dev

How worried are you about being sued? Seems like your training data probably includes quite a bit of copyright protected stuff. Just listened to the “blue scoobie doo” example and the influences are fairly obvious. With record companies get

Curious to know how you trained this… did you licence all the songs and recordings that you used?

Yes - but until they bumped to £10.99 recently they hadn’t increased the price at all. Inflation adjusted from launch the single user premium price should be about £17.99 I think.

Prove roses?! Price rises!

After they broke the fear of prove roses I think we will see relatively speedy jumps up as Spotify in particular tries to adjust pricing to be on par with what it would have been if it had been adjusted for inflation since launch. What will

You personally don’t know anyone who obviously discloses that they have a safe. If you have a safe you are keeping something valuable secure. The fewer people know that you have something valuable that needs to be secured the better. If peo

Well exactly. In the absence of any context or supporting detail it’s impossible to say what has actually happened here.

I’ve seen this tweet doing the rounds but it seems strange. The way the text in the email is presented is odd. Why is there a cursor midway through a sentence. Why is it forwarded text? Why is there no sender information? Why is the subject

We’ve not been able to reach any animal language at a four year old level that they can speak but I think we have taught animals language at a level that they are able to understand? Though I guess we can’t necessarily prove that understand

This is simply untrue. The mafia started outside the US long before prohibition came along. It may have given the mafia an opportunity to accelerate and expand but it certainly did not “literally create” the mafia.

I don’t really understand why this guy’s articles are so popular here. He comes up with some utterly ridiculous statements. And he - deliberately, I think - elides key things to make his point. If that’s not deliberate then he doesn’t have

The title of this post is very misleading. This is not what the story says at all.

Yeah, I do. And yeah, I did. Maybe it’s because I’m in the EU. Banking here is very different to the US.

I have no idea how something like this can even happen. In a company of that size it should be actually impossible for a transaction like this to occur without clearly documented processes to ingest, review, authorise and pay transactions.

It means the ultimate enshittification of user experience on Spotify. Make no mistake, Spotify is not interested in a “better Spotify for Artists, Creators and You” - they are interested in every last drop of incremental revenue that they c

In fact most really good lawyers deliberately take pro bono cases to expose them to legal thinking they might not otherwise encounter. Solving problems and applying your expertise to things you wouldn’t normally trip over is a great way to

Curious attitude. I’ve always found that the people who have the most “valuable” spare time are the most willing to give some of that to help others - because they understand what true value means - which is nothing at all to do with money

Yup, correct. And interestingly the article says it was in fact blocked from view in some territories. Which makes me think that the copyright claim is not actually about the video content but likely audio. So perhaps they have blocked in t

Not only this, but the musical works contained within the video may not be public domain. I can’t tell whether he has replaced all of the audio or dubbed his version on top of existing music.

> Spotify alone has more annual revenue than all the big music labels combined This is very much not the case. In fact Spotify’s revenue in its last full year was less than half of the combined revenues of the three major record labels f
