It’s not just too expensive. We need to seriously ask ourselves do we want too, at all, even? My dad worked in a steel mill all his life so that me and my siblings didn’t have to. We’re he and the other guys at the plant proud of their wor

Thanks for explaining and lending your expertise. Though, I am, again not a lawyer, but I am 99% sure you can't go use the Waffle House logo to sell anything , let alone waffles. I only say that because no one is using, say, the Coca-

I think you're missing some nuance in your understanding of trademarks with all due respect. The core use of trademark protection isn't a commercial use, necessarily. Rather, it's the act of infringing on the trademark hold

I am not a trademark lawyer. I'm guessing you aren't either or you would have said so. But multiple lawyers on multiple projects with multiple brands have mentioned this to me, and we have sent C&Ds to protect trademarks. With

I think a better term for it is the “we’re cooked era.” I see this phrase everywhere, in relation to AI, in relation to national politics, in relation to big problems like climate change. It’s really demoralizing because it’s a passive acqu

To add to that - if a company is not actively protecting the trademark, even in well intentioned cases, then someone can use the trademark and point to a precedent of the brand not defending its trademark, especially if it’s probable that t

I'm really curious about this because it actually incurs some interesting possible customer service issues. Say someone signs up, then usage lapses for a while. Then they use it. Bam they're charged. Will they remember that they s

With all the disclaimers of talk to your own psychiatrist noted, I’m curious what specific medication is helping you. I went through a similar process and some of the side effects were too much to balance.

I’m on a site built by a friend and you can only post on Mondays, and then you see every one else’s post only if you posted on Monday. I wonder how many micro communities like this exist, mostly under the radar.

I'm a user of the original Digg (and many of its iterations, including plastic.com). This whole approach seems tone deaf: > A.I. will also play a larger part in making Digg more accessible to users, Mr. Rose said. For instance, he s

I love this post a lot. Our entire world is perpetuated by platforms that are desperately begging us for engagement. It feels to me at least that I'm being pulled in a hundred directions, for all my time for all time. My engagement w

Twitter is replete with bots, videos rarely work, and it’s almost entirely tilted to the right side of the political spectrum. Twitter didn’t fall over the next day but there’s no disputing it’s a worse platform than it was.

It’s an issue of who watches the watchers. If their intent is transparency and auditing, why are they not reflecting that intent? This is why I do suspect their intent. They are not walking the talk.

A very obvious answer is that, for example, film was toned to white tones, which meant that film was not as good at capturing people with black skin on film or in lighting. Another example is of course facial sensors seeing white people but

The primary reason I used 1password + 2FA at both my business and in my family is really simple: 1password creates a shared 2FA process. That is, I can create a 2FA login that someone else in my team or family can also access.

I’m on a 13 mini and it appears your css boundaries are wonky. They’re wider than the screen resolution but your content sizing is correct so it’s all over the place. Also I’m a bit confused because the header says best movies of 2024, but

I managed an EB Games during the Dreamcast and ps2 launches. You can’t overstate the value proposition of the ps2 as a dvd player. It made the ps2’s extra $100 over the Dreamcast completely tenable. The second biggest reason for the success

Maybe you skimmed too quickly. Brocolli is a woman - that’s made abundantly clear throughout the article - and she also is adamant about maintaining the gender of the character. It appears that race (and sexual orientation) is not a key com

by superultra 2y ago
If you read the article you would’ve seen that Brocolli is fine with a non-white and/or gay person playing Bond; they have to be British and male though. I think that’s the a good tact to take. Let’s not pretend that Bond as a characte

Can you explain what you’re talking about some more? Other than mentioning that Brocolli is fine with a gay non-white male (but has to be a male), where in article did you glean anything about DEI? I honestly think the anti-DEI crowd is nea

As a marketer I recognize this and it’s the result of territorial marketing agendas at war over IAM, In-App Messaging, the holy grail of conversion funnels. It’s a shame that Google is being run by marketers rather than engineers. And I say

I give AI a “water cooler chat” level of veracity, which means it’s about as true as chatting with a coworker at a water cooler when that used to happen. Which is to say if I just need to file the information away as a “huh” it’s fine, but

In the parent comment I was talking about mastering and you responding about mixing, so I assumed you meant mastering. Yes, there is always a single mix at least in my experience. That gets delivered to a mastering engineer who, imho, if th

> The vinyl master has more "attention" because the vinyl is more limited. This isn't really true from my perspective. There are a lot of factors as to why vinyl mastering gets more attention. It's harder to do right,
