Ah yes, the new term for "consequences"

This is a hilarious free market solution when compared to universal healthcare.

Uncorroborated seemingly random claim on twitter as stated in the article.

I am fully in support of this, and actually quite surprised by the negativity in this thread about this decision. All the major hold outs online, like the Donald, already do the reverse of this and ban anyone who challenges their viewpoints.

Because they are taking a stand.

We can all laugh about "gay frogs" but the guy is dangerous.

Let's just agree to disagree. I read your comment history. There's no point in debating you.

He was toeing the line of violence against journalists though, which is exactly when the take downs started to happen. "I don't condone violence buuuuuut..." https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2018/07/13/infowars-perso...

There are sites like grailed.com which have been taking advantage of the used clothing market for higher end fashion wear.

Someone forgot to have fun.

Yeah, it's trash, but trash can be fun! I think getting out of your head and just enjoying something is important without needing to critically analyze it. It seems this book was pretty polarizing, like The Last Jedi.

Maybe the now there will be an effort to aggregate and make deals with the streaming services since net neutrality has been repealed. They could bundle up all the services into a single package. Why does this sound so familiar... /s

I would say Reddit is a great example of an open platform getting vandalized by the public.

The network switches and storage actually improved through acquisition which replaced their flagging HPE lines. Aruba & Nimble

I lost my virginity through ICQ!

It doesn't help that the flash manufacturers seem to be colluding on price and want to keep the cost of SSDs artificially high. Gotta make those margins! See recent DDR4 pricing issues for an example.

I've always wondered about this logic... Seems like the greenest thing a human could do would be to decompose underground.

Long form copy I believe it was called

I get what you are saying, but this is not an issue in this case. Most screenshots were done with analog film cameras pointing at a CRT. So resolution is not a limiting factor. See: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/back-when-screenshots-really...

There are two discussions that have been beaten to death many a time on any forum discussing production of electronic music:

Hardware vs Software (which I would compare to the discussion of a data center in the cloud vs hardware on premise)

and Analog vs Digital

Everyone loves to think they are controversial...

He livestreams himself using the modular all the time...

According to wikipedia it was translated into 28 languages.

Quick, migrate to TempleOS!

A good example of this is polyrhythm.

I don't understand, it's easy to get arbitrary length loops, that's the reason there is a "fixed length" button on the Push 2 which you can enable if you want.

The arrangement view is not meant to be Protools.

Ableton is actually quite nice for doing experimental and unusual music, it just is built around doing it LIVE. If you want to paint outside the lines, you can with it. "clicking boxes on and off" is simply a way of perceiving layering.

The 9/11 thread was pretty shocking. Two things stuck in my memory from GBS/SA, the "All your base" thread and the 9/11 thread.

I wouldn't say that quality increased at all, however it certainly made managing the forum a lot easier. I think around 2008 or 09 I shit posted a ban me thread with numerous images of god and the dinosaurs until I was culled. I had had an account since '00. I found by the time I had been banned that the quality (which is of course, subjective) had been lost by becoming exclusive. Sort of the same way an NYT Paywall made me lose interest in it. The decline did take a while, but I would say that when they instituted the paywall it was "Day 2" as Bezos said. The beginning of the end.

Something Awful certainly spawned a lot of things.

But it's funny, I sort of have the opposite opinion of SA in regards to its content. Once the 10$ barrier was in place I felt it lost a lot of the quality. I understood why it needed to happen, it got too popular for its own good. However, I couldn't help but feel that once it created a barrier to entry a lot of the "aliveness" got sucked right out of it. Slowly.

A really interesting comparison of Reddit and SA takes place in Eve Online, where massive fleets clash on the regular. SA has a huge history there, and tons of political heroes (vilerat! rip) but they ended up sort of being the exclusionary bullies of the Eve universe. TEST/Dreddit (Reddit's corporation) ended up having that easy entry and encouraged a lot of growth from the people other companies in Eve were ignoring - the new player. This resulted in a lot of good fun and chaos. Now there are whole companies devoted to new players (Brave Newbies)

Highly recommend The Expanse, it's a fantastic space opera based on a great series of books. They also have overviews of the science involved in the show after each episode online.
