Is it? Most people come to SO from Googling their random tech problems/questions. Not sure how much value there is in caching my random Rails questions, etc

First of all, the law is only as good as its enforcement. Without enforcement the law effectively does nto exist. Second, that link says nothing about audience consumption, it only preserves the provenance and integrity of the work. As ment

Given the royalties that streaming pays the 'starving artist' argument doesn't make a lot of sense. In fact you could even argue that Spotify has done far more damage to artists' revenue streams than piracy ever did You&

Sure, hearing one track a few extra times I could accept. But it happens a lot . And it seems to favor certain artists. I am well acquainted with the properties of randomness and what I've seen suggests some kind of weighting system.

You're right, I had my wires crossed.

Yeah I don't get this. Once the work is released it's out the artist's hands. The artist has no control. This is how it has always been and how it should always be.

Shuffle is great for playlists, but terrible for albums I just wish shuffle was truly random, but it seems to favor tracks with the (edit- got this mixed up) lowest payout. I had the same track repeated several times to me in a few hours, i

There was a video a while back on reddit of an old man who got knocked out trying to stop a bunch of street racers doing donuts in an intersection. The camera then shows the guy unconscious on the ground, and some kid in a hat comes up and

I can't think of a single point in my RoR career where this has come up. How do you even do Java-like OO when classes are so loosey-goosey anyway? Though having suffered in a Rails codebase written by Java engineers, I definitely agree

How the hell are current markups unsustainable? I don't know how many deliveries the average driver does in a day but it can't be more than a few bucks worth of their time. Yet somehow my receipts are marked up 30-50%, in a myriad

Because it has no contrast, and it's always the same outcomes over and over again. Goodness triumphs. The moral wins. The same shit drilled into our heads as kids in school and church, writ large. Good drama has badness and evil, and s

I think you're mistaking feelgood for wholesome. Wholesomeness instills people with positivity and good morals, oftentimes through good but difficult choices.

by tomc1985 5y ago
How is that the 'antithesis' of wholesome? It sounds more like the plotline of a Sunday sermon, or a Disney movie Or is this another situation where the original word is stolen from its vibe and repurposed solely for its meaning?

Everything about this just seems to scream of wholesomeness, and wholesomeness is boring as hell.

That heavily depends on where you travel. Even here in Southern California there are populated areas with little to no mobile internet service (like Big Bear Lake, Anza Borrego, or Joshua Tree areas for example)
