I dont think Spotify cares about the 0.1% of users that bring their own MP3s. It's a shrinking market. The growth is all the people who never even heard of an EmPeaThree.

I think back when I ripped my 350+ CDs to FLAC. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

Justice at Spotify 5 years ago

How much of Spotify's revenue goes towards songwriters, labels, distributors, publishers, as opposed to the artist?

Culpability lies with China for covering it up

Sure, China did some bad things and shares some blame. That said, we did figure out China was lying in January, but did nothing nothing for the next six weeks (besides an ineffective travel "ban"). We have some culpability as well.

IMO, the most telling point of this is when the author rejected a security patch because it was not creative enough. He was more of an artist than an engineer.

What was the patch? It was very strait forward, simple, uncreative change, intention was just to remove unsafe not to fix existing code. I believe software development is one of the most creative work we do, and creativity is part of why we love software development, why it is fun. Especially if you combine it with real world projects constraints. “creative constrains” could be source of very interesting solutions. Being on the edge of your abilities is super fun. So uncreative change felt boring https://github.com/actix/actix-web

Then divide the battery pack into two (or more) packs. The battery controller then uses one pack to exhaustion, then switches over to the other pack. Normal charging will only charge fully depleted packs. This would reduce maximum range. So add in a charging override for an occasional max distance drive.

You can't speak about Supply (running out) without factoring in Demand & Price. They are all linked together. Especially when the resource has recreational uses.

Two different things here. The person I replied to said that every reddit was ignoring this specific article "I searched this article on reddit". My point was to show that that specific article was covered across 37 different subreddits. My conclusion would be that this specific NYT article didn't get much traction on any subreddit, due to the lack or relative upvotes.

That said, there are dozens of FISA posts on many of the political subreddits, typically linking to others sites, not the NYT article. The T_D has been very vocal about the FISA abuses, as they should be. Apparently T_D can't link to this specific article due to subreddit specific rules. So I can't really compare this specific NYT article. Plus comparing the # of upvotes across subreddits has a lot of other issues.

IMO, this recent abuse is due to the lack of transparency in the entire FISA process. There shouldn't be secret courts ordering secret wiretaps on Americans with no oversight. The whole program should be scrapped. Tell your reps to vote it down next time.
