I am a heavy FB user/frequently depressed person. I wanted to show my agreement with something stronger than an upvote. Depression -> distraction-seeking -> FB wall would be the link for me too.

In all seriousness though, Tolkien's worldview was more medieval than colonial. The north/south, high/low dynamic is a different dimension than the relationship between Europe and North Africa. It's altitude rather than longitude. Putting everything in relationship to the heavens is a touchstone of medieval culture.
Twisted (cf the article's 'ugly') things were considered a visual metaphor for evil by Dante. Dante imagined that beings who were living out their function/purpose with excellence were rooted in the ground but pointed at the stars [ie 'straight]. Men and women who succumbed to temptation were pointed at the stars by design but through concupiscence [getting caught up/busy; becoming obsessed/addicted], such 'crooked' people were turned inward on themselves and could no longer appreciate the things above them.
I have been a bad fan.
You're right that everyone who programs is a programmer, but 'programmer' in the article means someone for whom programmer is their job title.
Whose own?
You're a buster.

Have you ever heard of Jan Hus?
With enough communication any result can be a visible one because everybody understands why it is important.
It seems like the author is arguing that in order to be lazy about sound production, you need to expend energy picking out which sounds you need and which can be safely left out. That's all well and good, but in the middle of the article, the author herself refers to mumbling as a kind of "strategic laziness"!
Curse these headlines!
From the article:
>While Kickstarter helped popularize crowdfunding in the areas of creative projects, music and film, GoFundMe’s personal fundraising platform is focused on enabling people to raise money for personal causes and life events
It takes a classical understanding of lust for the classical interdiction to make sense:

Lets say that after Nuremburg, we are not willing to completely absolve low-level players because we realize after the Holocaust that widespread complicity is the only way such an atrocity can happen.
All the same, we aren't assigning the same level of responsibility to the prison guard that we do to Goebbels, etc. We will apply it proportionately.
If you take the Sony crimes and relate them to the Holocaust -- for nihilistic internet argument purposes -- you end up with some small fraction.
Following the Nuremberg methodology, you take that small fraction and apply it 100% to decisionmakers and proportionately to low-level players. The resulting blame is small enough relative to their breach of privacy that the cyber attackers are in the wrong.
Therefore, taking this argument back to Nuremberg does not serve the purpose of justifying the middle managers/analysts breaches of privacy.
What is 'addiction'? What is 'disease'? What is 'real'?
It recalls Bill Clinton asking for a more precise definition of the word 'is'.
Which do you mean?
I think it is genuinely difficult to write engaging texts that are sufficiently rigorous and retrain teachers in the methods that go along with them and drum up support among administrative types.
Not that it's impossible, but it is very challenging.
It's a mindset that shows tremendous respect for others, yet tremendous self-assurance. It's the faith that the best ideas will win out in the long run.
My favorite employee owned business is King Arthur flour. I think it's a wonderful thing when a company is owned by people who are part of the day-to-day meat and potatoes of the business.
Seeing Apple's huge success in the late 2000s, Microsoft's grand marketing strategy since has been to try and re approach a young hip, artistic audience while not losing their traditional base.
It's a huge shift and it won't be easy, since managers who buy for their offices want a low-rent, predictable product and their feathers are easily ruffled.
This is a precise definition of Alibaba's market segment.
Alibaba connects factories directly to businesses. I don't know a ton about the company, my introduction was a story from maybe 2011 about a kid from Michigan who made a million dollars selling iPod minis to his classmates until Apple shut him down
