One more: I’ve got a small print shop/publishing business. I’m interested in printing vinyl stickers but searching for “what machines should I be looking for and how should I judge them” has been an awful experience going face first in

Never thought I’d be stanning for TikTok, but it’s really not just dancing and thirst traps. There are so many excellent creators on it. Nature focused. Rare book dealers showing their wares. Medievalists. And trades, showing you how thing

Also, the original ability to "circle share" was exceptional (and it's truly sad it was apparently abused into the ground by spammers). It allowed "real people" to curate groups of other real people around a certain

As a self publisher who’s used Kickstarter for 4 books now, let me say: the creative side of writing the books, doing the layout, getting it print ready, coordinating with artists etc is a beast. Then when you add on the publisher side of d

I don’t understand this stuff. Politicians have directly ordered closures. If your bottom falls out from under you because you were playing fast and loose that seems inherently different than being told from above “you just cease your main

That is really interesting and echoes some of what Camille Paglia has to say about washing in Italian immigrant communities. Do you have the source handy? I’d love to check it out.

I’m in the RPG space myself. Ive basically bootstrapped up a small but profitable publishing company in that scene ( http://shop.swordfishislands.com ). I also like how DriveThruRPG gives drm free PDFs. The watermark is up to the

Yes absolutely. It’s destructive to curiosity too imo. If you do go and search for something outside the algorithmic expectation it can break things hard (oh, you looked at a thing about shoes? Let me give you nothing but that). Which makes

This sounds like reinventing the focused arty magazine/technical journal almost.

Yes absolutely this imo. I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue around the time Spanx we’re taking off. It was absolutely about the “lifestyle” and the brand. There might have been competitor and there might have been knockoffs, but they were just t

And not only that, it’s always been my understanding that there was a major motivation of preservation. To record the spoken tales before they were lost.

Which is legit, but at least where I am, those are (normally) not placed directly in walkways, or in a place that "consumes" an asset created and maintained by another business (i.e., a bike rack).

Maybe, and maybe that's part of why it's bothering me. I don't have a frame in which to easily sit it. I think that's a good analogy, but it's not quite right imo. The important factor for me is that, in this specif

This is the thing that bothers me. They appear to be getting set out in front of my kid’s school (in sets of 4), and it’s the natural inclination for kids to want to run jump and play on them. So now there’s this sort of quandary I have as

I worked for a major gaming company for almost a decade and based on that, I think it should be paid for by its corporate users. Not from the angle of paying to use the service to tweet, but paying for access to tweetdeck. I know there are

I don't believe so. INAL but if the photograph attempts to exactly replicate an image I'm pretty sure copyright doesn't hold. So like, a high resolution image of a Caravaggio is still usable as public domain.[0] I'm pret

slight edit (but important): The preservation strategy in every age has been data redundancy, but it's much easier to duplicate and copy digital information. Glad we had all those monks copying the copies of copies so we still have all
