I run into this problem all the time. I’ve gotten into the habit of bouncing all the individual tracks on a project I put down for a while; it’s not perfect, but at least I have something left if a plug-in breaks later.

More easily gamed, I'd think. Also, if you remove the curators (journals), then people looking for research in the first place (who are driving the ones arxiv stats) won't know where to look first.

That's awesome; thank you for sharing that with me.

I know this is likely to be an unpopular opinion here, but I'm not sure that websites ought to scale in the way we've been building them to. One of the biggest causes of frustration and concerns is that websites that are operated

I wouldn't think Hacker News would be in any trouble with this one. The link is to a noteworthy site, not to any infringing content; you'd have to take action and use a specific search term to find copyrighted content. And the imp

Wouldn’t that also pick someone up who had indiscreetly pull up their phone to check a text message?

I want to add to what you're saying: a lot of resources for artists, from music hardware to video cameras to painting software, have massively inflated prices because paid creatives are paying for them. If you take a lot of the money o

You’re probably right, but the reason why isn’t because of anything Kodi developers did wrong. Film distributors refuse to allow DRM-free files to be transferred. So my Kodi has a mixture of ripped DVDs (illegal), ripped Blu-rays (illegal),

It’s worth noting Drum’s actual position on The Bell Curve: http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/05/charles-murray... TLDR: he thinks that there could be an genetic difference in racial IQ levels, but

Responding to your 1: “failed to support” doesn’t mean that they found evidence that contradicted the lead crime hypothesis. The data they found is entirely consistent with the lead crime hypothesis; it’s just that it’s within the realm of

That opposition is constant . Huge numbers of people object to Uber and are concerned about taxi drivers, while Uber has made no effort to alleviate the externalities of their business. And small bookstores, their owners, and their patrons

As nyolfen mentioned, XMPP is just a competing, decentralized protocol for AIM-like chat. It has a similar feature set and works with most third-party AIM clients.

I still used AIM up until today. My friends and I just switched over to a private XMPP server, and we've been using Pidgin/Adium anyway, so it's not a huge change. AIM has been extremely reliable, I've been able to use i

Sure, but the Washington Post may have refused her story if they couldn't verify her identity. The real problem is that for Veritas is that they apparently can't hire someone with a clean identity and no public record of conservat

That would be great! I don't see why we couldn't do both.

I do, frequently. Are you arguing that all taxation is theft, or are you arguing that it's okay to tax us as long as it's for what you want and not for what I want?

In that case, it's not my (an American) job to care for the welfare of any other American. Why bother drawing the empathy line outside my own family? I want cheaper access for steel and iPhones, and I don't care if this woman has

A few of those suggestions seem a lot more "barbaric" than the government enforcing anti-monopoly laws. Imagine administrators, researchers, or whomever else works for the government having to change up their entire work routines

Saudi Arabia isn't demanding they cripple their products, so selling their products in Saudi Arabia isn't ethically fraught. And Apple isn't spending their time slamming Trump. They're a tech company, not a politician.

This morning, an Amazon deliveryman walked a few steps toward my house, threw a package about fifteen feet to the door (denting the case inside), and then walked back to his van. I still can't find a specific way to complain about the

Often true, though I know a lot of people who don't own a TV and just watch Netflix on their laptops, even when watching with a large group. I personally have a dedicated Chromebox running LibreELEC with Kodi plugged into my projector,

Sorry for the late response. I get BDs from Netflix, not DVDs (when possible). And I'm already pushing my bandwidth to its limit at home, so it's much easier to get the BDs delivered. Also, for a lot of the films I want to see, I

Yes, but that's why I have a backup; if recovery fails, I'll just restore my Firefox config files. I've done it before. I also fail to see how preemptively closing my tabs so that they don't accidentally get lost helps m

I actually just subscribe to Netflix' DVD service. I get films in much higher quality delivered every other day, and I use MakeMKV to copy them onto my computer for when I want to watch them. Films I can't get there, I just pira

If they're being bullied into this decision (and I don't think they are), it's not because they're too timid to stand up to the media. It's because their customers might leave them, because their customers prefer co

I liked the interface and catalog that what.cd had, but I think that private trackers are absolutely the wrong way to go. Having an archive is nice, but there's no present danger of losing most of these albums; the real problem is peop
