I use the discover weekly / radio / and other discovery features all the time, and still never had a problem. I mostly use apple hardware + osx and ios, however, so perhaps mileage varies on other platforms. It worked fine in Fire

I have been on Spotify from almost the beginning, and see zero reasons to switch. The app never bothered me at all - I find the reactions in this thread startling.

The fact that it is a crime (if it is, indeed, a fact), only makes it even more fucked up.

Very nice post. I wish life didn't ruin this for me. As a child, I was forced to pick berries and mushrooms alone when all my friends were playing football - and it made me hate the process with all my heart. But that was so long ago -

> Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. I gave that book to my mathematician grandma, and she found it so boring she couldn’t finish it - “All this stuff was known for decades”. True anecdote.

When I lived in a rather hot area of Spain for a year, I was shocked to find out that many apartments don't have an air conditioner. In a place where a similar heat wave happens every year, for months. A friend of mine moved there from

Yes it would be very much in trouble. I wouldn’t want to be around to witness that, though.

I see this a lot, but it depends on how you define these terms. If person A defines British such as British = Briton, you categorically claiming that British =/= Briton is not really an argument, just a statement of belief. An argument

I can't just do that, she is an autonomous person, and quite willful also. Despite her age, she is not only as lucid as it gets - she still works (although from home) as an applied mathematician!

"God! I only asked her to be a hooker. It's not like I wanted her to work in telesales". I stopped picking up unsolicited unknown calls perhaps a decade ago, and nothing was lost. It was impossible, however, to convince my 99

Proud? No, but I am not ashamed of it also. I would be the first to admit my ignorance on the absolute majority of topics. There is a limited number of things I can learn in life, and kubernetes won't be one of them - I'm just not

I'm not sure. I run a homelab tailscale/k3s setup with gitops, dozens of services, VMs, backups, etc, all vibed by claude, and works just fine. Didn't write a single line of code for this. I don't know kubernetes and nev

Even 30 is quite enviable. I can only do focused deep work for 2-3 hours per day at most, the rest is simulating work to get paid - meetings, emails, etc, something you barely need to pay attention to.

I hate hearing about security because I saw orgs decimated by paranoid (and incompetent) security to such degree that nothing could be done there and I had to look for a new job.

Look cool! This might turn out to be a really nice tool to use when teaching SQL to my students. If you ever consider an educational license, of course.

This is a really interesting article, even though it seems a little biased towards the mother (which, post hoc, if absolutely fair). Would be very cool to see / read this from the position of the judge as the thing unraveled.

But how is that possible? How can one survive without income barring homelessness, begging, prostitution, and other not so utopian options?
