>what reason would there be for any of those top artists to be there? That's why they should do it. To get rid of the facade that this is about helping smaller artists and show people what artists really care about art and which one

I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of downloads are only from the top 10% of artists. I believe swift was sincere when she said that this isn't about multi-millionaires, but about unknown artists trying to make a living. By redistribu

What Apple should do is pay only the bottom 90% of artists and when someone downloads free music from one of the top grossing 10% of artists, the would-be revenue should be re-distributed to the bottom 90% during the users free trial. Taylo

Apple should keep the free trial, but pay revenue only to artists who aren't multi-millionaires or extremely popular. Then when Taylor still refuses to let iTunes sell her music she'll be seen for what she really is.

Most of these "safe space" environments are filled with arrogant people who, while not being outright rude, can belittle you passive aggressively and it can sometimes be worse than someone just calling you out on your bullshit. A

You're being deceptive, Fargren is on point. Once the dev leaves the company they no longer make that salary. Artists typically get paid some kind of royalty and don't give up full ownership of their work. >Without being able t

Vice president of Intel, Steven McGeady, testified that Microsoft vice president Paul Maritz used the phrase in a 1995 meeting with Intel to describe Microsoft's strategy toward Netscape, Java, and the Internet. So it's hardly fri

This isn't proof that the NSA has googles keys, but it outlines how the NSA uses stolen keys to decrypt information. I'd imagine google would be one of their main targets. http://www.newyorker.com/tech/element

So would taking race into account and accepting them into a program based on race be racist? What if a restaurant charged some races more and some races less for the same food?

Isn't discrimination racism? It's strange we live in a world where you have to discriminate to not be racist and those of us who are against discrimination are the racist ones.

Shouldn't we invade every country that oppresses women by your logic? The only reason ISIS exists is because we created it, and your solution is to go back and do what we just did again and create even more ISIS?

I've come to the conclusion that multiple world governments --working together and against each other-- are attempting and in some cases are able to manipulate the narrative of conversations on the internet to further certain politica

This is more than just hate against fat people, there are obvious undertones of anti-feminism and pro-feminism. I'm personally against the PC "SJW's" that force their ideology on people under the moniker of feminism, but

They should just shut down the site. Who knew the internet would devolve into middle school bullying of fat people? It was just ten years or so ago that the kids started to get on myspace. We've reached the point where even the dumbest

HN isn't very good, but it's a little better than the current state of reddit, which is like a middle school without adults. At least people try to be intellectual on HN.

You can't deny that they're engaging in bullying. They are literally posting pictures of the reddit mods and making fun of them. That's bullying. A lot of fit people don't participate or enjoy FPH either. I couldn't

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand I'm against censorship, on the other I'm against internet bullying. /r/FatPeopleHate was engaging in both. In the end reddit is a private site that can do what it wan

Maybe this guy wasn't quite arrogant enough to work at google, I mean he seems pretty arrogant, but I think you really have to be extremely arrogant and up on a moral high horse to work at google.

Well I've never had any of the problems you're experiencing on Linux in the past 3 years. Only issue I've had was a driver not being included by default. I've had issues on OS X and Windows though, and they put billions

Are you trying to imply every OS doesn't face issues like these? A simple google search of "wifi broken after upgrade [insert OS]" will get you thousands of results. I'd say I had worse wifi issues with Windows than Linu

Personally if I had to choose between banning abortions or a government that completely ignores the 4th amendment I'd have to choose to ban abortions. Luckily this is just a distraction issue and even if Paul did manage to get his legi
