It's not the successful website that turns to seo spam, it's seo spammers that spam the StumbleUpon api with bots "liking" their spam.

I think desirability of page limits is very subject specific. Some people will just waffle if you don't give them a page limit. Other times it means there's not room for the technical details.

Promotion and filtering I guess? What does a record label provide when you can just upload music to Spotify?

How is productivity measured in their study though? As it's survey based I presume self reported? I worry that expectations may have a confounding effect: those required to work long hours may feel less productive relative to the highe

The trumpet on my prophesy ain't half bad but yes I concede that point. For synthetic sounds however, at this point I think it's mostly a question of workflow. Like yes you can take time to program all those imperfections into a d

I think you misunderstand my reply. I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm trying to express disagreement without reaching for the downvote button, is all :-)

I disagree. Yes #1 was best. I thought #2 was the weakest link, but with the redeeming feature of getting you to #3 and #4. Are they perfect, no, but they do have good moments aplenty and I thought the ending worth the journey. Edit: thinki

Perhaps the core issue is that academia excels at being a textbook case of goodhart's law. If/when reproducibility became a target then the academic system would/will likely make an equally bad mess as it has with its current

You just need to change your filter rule such that a single iap to upgrade from free to premium version, can be considered similar to a paid app with no iap.

I don't think the coding analogy holds at all. To me, writing good working maintainable software of non trivial complexity is craft, and to call it that is high praise indeed. I'm not entirely sure what art is, but I think it tend

From others who support your campaign. Yeah, it does suck that money == power. IMO representative democracy isn't a problem, but corporate lobbying is.
