Taylor Swift doesn't have 1989 on any streaming platforms. She also pulled all her music from Spotify because the free tier doesn't pay anything. She has a quite long history at this point of fighting against these streaming ser

Yeah, that's the rub. Their normal payout is a percentage of revenue, so if there is no revenue...

Apple got the labels to agree to the deal already, why would they care about the artists?

If it was a PR move, why would they capitulate so fast, and on a Sunday? The story is basically done now, a week before the service launches. I mean, it's not even a trending story on Facebook or Twitter on Monday morning!

Diversity. Not in the racial sense, but in the "variety of people" sense. If you only use one admission factor, than all your students will be good at that factor. You get a school full of good test takers, to the exclusion of

I don't think Apple came out of this looking very good, even after they capitulated.

Taylor Swift can shame Apple, but who exactly is in a position to shame Taylor Swift?

Like which? Rdio doesn't have 1989, for instance. http://www.rdio.com/artist/Taylor_Swift/albums/

Neat idea, but is this something you can actually be skilled at? Even if you know the game, and can figure out what trajectory the ball was on, it seems very hard to figure out exactly where on that trajectory it was when the photo was t

I had to take some training for a BigCo client, and they made a special point that you had to run marketing that used words like "free", "unlimited", and "lifetime" past a lawyer because you couldn't just

It seemed to me like rootless was at a lower level than the sandbox, since arbitrary apps don't run in the sandbox.

Rootless is more about securing the OS files and processes from malware.

Interesting, since their proposal says: "A simple author opt-in saying that an icon is suitable would help UAs pick the right icon to download and, unlike the sizes and type attributes, there's no need for a complicated attribute

So they could be demoed in the WWDC keynote.

It seems like the intent here was that someone like Twitter would provide a blue bird icon in SVG, and then specify that it is also suitable for use as a mask by providing the "mask" attribute. That icon could be used both for no

Here's the proposal they meant to send out prior to the announcement, which explains the rationale: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2...

They are right next to Hawthorne Airport... that's the only place I can see the track being located. The rest of the surroundings are industrial buildings.

Aha, figured it out. When you switch away from the tab, Chrome reduces the play speed, which is why it sounded different and like slowly banged out minor chords.

An investment whose performance is capped at the value of your investment. A bit ridiculous.

It seems like there was actual fraud in this case, where he wasn't spending the money from the Kickstarter on the project.

The one I just generated seems to be randomly banging out minor chords.

Also don't see much about foundations. It usually takes a long time for a building to get out of the ground, and I don't see how this technique helps the speed of that.

If you are hiring the Homebrew dev, and your devs currently use Homebrew, why wouldn't you hire him to work on Homebrew for you?
356.
by smackfu 11y ago
Very good point. It's like, why do you want to work for Google if you aren't into algorithms?

I think the real issue is that most programming jobs aren't computer science jobs, so CS fundamentals are almost totally irrelevant.

This just gets back to the question of whether you are hiring based on interview skills or coding skills. If someone has shipped code that shows high coding skills, why would you reject them based on interview skills, if it's a coding

Yeah, appliances is a place where going from midrange to upper-midrange might double the price. It's nuts.
