I wonder how artist pay would change if each artist got a proportional cut of every listeners fee instead of listened bring pooled and paid out that way. I can listen to only indie artists all month long and they get laid about 15 cents fro

This sounds like something out of a historical fantasy novel or a video game. Why wouldn't the robbery victim just get a bunch of dudes to go down and take the rug and kill everyone? I mean, it really tied the room together There are p

NYT is the biggest brand that I know of that pulls these "easy to subscribe, hard to unsubscribe" antics. Especially galling because if you live in california, you can cancel with just a click, so obviously it is possible, but if

NYT made it difficult, and they are a pretty good product. If you didn't live in california and wanted to cancel your subscription, you were required to talk to a service rep who would try to get you stay by giving you some free period

Boz joined in 2006. In 2005 their valuation was $100M. In 2006 their valuation was $500M. Literally all the people he sat next to when he joined all knew they were filthy rich already.

Why would German culture start before unification, but American culture pops out of nothing at the founding of the nation?

There was no unified "German" culture before Germany, so it doesn't make sense to talk about a "German" culture. Is it the northern maritime German? The southern Bavarian German? The Rhinelanders? The Swabians? Swis
