rpd9803··on Spotify sides with Joe Rogan, removes Neil Young’s music
a record that deteriorates each time you play in (albeit in what most consider to be sonically pleasing way) ... and was probably pressed from a digital master, meaning DAC has already happened several times..

LOL

Do you really think musicians make most of the money they make from streaming? Dude could have 1 concert a year and pull in more than his streaming would in a decade. Not to mention merch, commercial licensing.. etc..

LOL

I'm sure he'll miss the quarterly $2.23 royalty checks real bad.

I mean, I'm sure you have way more experience than Neil Young at irrelevance and being a nobody, so I'm inclined to defer to your expertise.

'divergent views' is a very weasley way of saying 'intentional misinformation'

I don't think many businesses are quite ready for this, but a CTO can dream...

Alexa, how do you hide a dead body?
rpd9803··on Problems with CSVs
I mean, its a bit apples or oranges.. XML's well-formed rules are, in my experience, fairly universal, hence parsing isn't as much an issue as is poorly constructed XML schemas (and schma-less xml documents as well) I know there are edge cases, but overall XML doesn't have many of the problems specified.

You really dont understand why something apparently intuitive for you is difficult for someone else?

rpd9803··on Annoyances of API Design
Haha, I've just always thought that if XML was too hard for you, maybe you should stick to graphic design...
rpd9803··on How Apple Influenced The Labels To Shut Down My Music Streaming Startup
Yes, except those pesky infoboxes.. Google is starting to serve answers right on search result pages, which to me seems a bit murkier.
rpd9803··on Restoration Hardware's Mail-Order Extravagance
Send them USPS.. they can use the business and I'd like my local mail subsidized again..
rpd9803··on Google Cultural Institute
It is a shame google is aiming at Institutions that don't have the resources to know better than to trust them.. meanwhile their usage rights exists in perpetuity.. not simply for duration of the project..
rpd9803··on Google Cultural Institute
That's too bad, the artwork is really amazing in person.. and not even giving the Walters the web traffic (instead, Google gets it).. A troubling Google Art Project concern.
rpd9803··on The City of Chicago is on Github
There are far better solutions, including things like http://ckan.org.. sounds like very little research was done before this decision was reached.
rpd9803··on Code sucks
To be fair, I don't think you can reasonably consider Facebook's mega-crazy (mega-crazy being applied without value judgement) PHP-to-C++ scaling method to be the same as surviving using a scripting language. You can also argue that (most) of the heavy lifting Github does is in git itself, which is an amalgamation of C, Bash and Perl.. and the "good" stuff is all in C. Bash is mostly interfaces and perl is for random stuff like sendmail, cvs import, etc.)

Just because your Java team was slow doesn't mean all of ours are ;)

Guess all that VC money came with a hefty pricetag for the community.
