Thanks. Interesting re: typewriter.

Yeah I guess that label isn't accurate for Amazon (and a lot of other bigtech jobs) and prestige law, which are more about social status, etc.

How would having a lifestyle brand create a moat? How would you define "moat"? (Genuine questions, I have no position on the issue and no real knowledge in the area)

Oh cool, I'll look into it and see if they have a free trial. Combining Pandora's superior discovery functionality with Spotify's ease-of-use and control would be great.

by ss108 5y ago
Thanks. My questions weren't purely rhetorical. I do want to actually know the feasibility of ditching Spotify, and this comment may save me some time in terms of figuring out how to export to Tidal if I want to.

I don't know if I ever would have been able to become a dev had the first startup I worked at not bucked the rules and let me work there with no employment contract or cash compensation while I learned (in the end I did get equity).

Pandora is in no way a replacement for Spotify. With Tidal or Amazon, can I just import my Spotify library in? How do I know they have all my music? Search engines are not the right analogy here.

Put me in the bucket of "would strongly consider cancelling, but for it being unclear whether there's a 1:1 alternative that has all of my music". I am also blocked by the fact that, while I do dislike Rogan and his fans, and

Pretty much. I don't know what end-goal of jailbreaking would be sufficiently enticing to lead me to consider doing so; that's the sort of thing I started this thread to find out lol But yes, I mostly just want to know how other p

You're in Pakistan, but you're a Japanese national? Does this mean you immigrated to Japan, and went back, or that your parents are from Pakistan but you were born in Japan? I know there's a community of Pakistani-Japanese (I

What? Wedge issues are what the people unfortunately want. It gets them jazzed up even though these are not the most impactful issues for most people's lives. While blame should be placed on politicians who use such issues to drive vot

I don't think going after government buildings would have been justified either; those buildings are all of our buildings. We paid (and pay) for them, and they provide services to the community. I am all for widespread recognition of t

I think you should elucidate and explain more about what you have come to dislike about it, what you feel is missing, etc, to get better advice.

truBrain is the name of the startup. It's still around, though its product offerings have changed.
