The mother seemed to be trying to catch it. Hard to understand.

That’s the picture I’m getting after doing a little research on them, the number of similar complaints was enough to make me chicken out of using them.

I don’t mind the contrast, the design looks pretty good to me but I don’t get what it’s for. It looks like a cross between Reddit and Wikipedia, and I bet most people go “huh” and move on.

With the exception of fish, for probably a very, very long time we ate a lot of fish.

True anarchy? If Somalia in the 90s made a website? The final stage of civilization?

It is depressing how every experiment in Internet libertarianism ends at Nazism.

I think just adding a “dislike” button would make a big difference.

I think that’s it but it didn’t have the categories when I saw it, so every other one was adult animation, etc.

Somebody a little while ago figured out the most popular Patreon pages, wish I could find it, but I remember there was SO much porn. Not regular porn either but weird japanamation porn, furry porn, you name it. And that‘s probably why Patreon doesn’t have a functional “discovery” feature.

Like I have a songwriting web app almost ready that I think might do well there but without a way for people to discover it through the community what’s the point of using Patreon and not a traditional subscription model? The porn has to go so they can have a “you might also like” column that isn’t filled with hentai barf porn or whatever.

I suppose. Venues won’t go for this nonsense anyway, it’s a potential legal liability, they don’t care what you do with your phone and they have all the power, not the band.

Great to tell people to put away their phones and not record because that really is obnoxious, but to actually confiscate phones is fascistic and shouldn’t be tolerated IMO. I mean who does he think he is?

I don't know about the video but the song is pretty interesting in that it's the same refrain over and over and doesn't rhyme - yet it still works

What does that mean, I'm telling my Ma not to text anymore about Canada, I'm expecting Ceaușescu shit

"So this is the woman you're going to spend the rest of eternity with". Hoo boy

What do you mean, all I see is a detailed point-by-point summary of why Donald Trump is a scumbag and some State Department documents that seem to show Hillary Clinton is really smart!

Try "Clinton", "Trump", and "Sanders" and be horrified/confused

Surprised it hasn't happened yet, not sure what the penalty would be but I'd guess months rather than years.

Stephen King read this and said "shoot, that's pretty good"

I don't know why they don't just show what's on sale near me geographically. You know, two for one Kraft mac and cheese up at Publix. You'd never know that I might buy mac and cheese by data mining me, I don't even really like mac and cheese, but shit man two for one!

The whole targeted advertising idea seems like something cooked up by computer programmers and doesn't seem to actually work on humans. But if ads showed me that toilet paper was on sale somewhere nearby, that's something I might whitelist.

I'm just going to pretend I didn't read that.

My first thought was Slack must have turned down Facebook's offer, thank the gods. It's not too weird to ask coworkers to sign up for Slack, but it would be really weird and probably unacceptable to ask someone who works for you to sign up for Facebook for all kinds of reasons. I'd feel more comfortable requiring employees to use Reddit at work, seriously.

Cool, but every city I tried is searching for the same shitty pop songs

developers developers developers!

For example I'm taking some front end javascript I've been working on and putting it on the server (using another new node framework based on Laravel that so far I really like: http://adonisjs.com ) and it would definitely perform better if I rewrote it in Go or Elixir - but even if I could figure out how to do that if the thing takes off I could never find anyone to help me with it.

With JS though it should perform reasonably well (node is supposedly pretty fast where it counts, nonblocking and all that) and I could hire a danged high school kid to give me a hand with it if it somehow succeeds. I imagine a company like Walmart was thinking along those same lines when it chose Node.

Sure it can be used artistically but overall I'd say it represents one of the more ugly facets of modern life.

It's become the mosquito of the Internet, possibly useful in some mysterious way but if I had to choose a species to exterminate it'd probably be that one.

Flickr never caused the problems Instagram does, and maybe the narcissism and neurotic behavior Insta encourages is purely accidental but it is what is is, which is a pretty nasty invention I'm not so comfortable dismissing.

This is the first I've heard of Wishbone, which seems pretty harmless but Instagram is one of the most toxic internet substances out there at the moment poisoning our collective psyche. I think it should be fucking destroyed.

I meant to say that's about the price it needs to be to get people buying music again. It's gotta be well within the impulse buy range.

I don't know about abolishing copyright but charging $10 for a digital album is ridiculous. A buck for 10 songs sounds about right to me.

You can't make any money playing live though, unless you're in Pearl Jam you're basically scraping by as a glorified beer salesman and it's a pretty shitty existence.

Man I took the ability to follow people based on musical tastes for granted - I spent so much time looking for people all over the world who were listening to interesting stuff and ever morning I download a few albums I found on the Trending page.

I'm just lost with Spotify and Google music, I go there and see pictures of Justin Bieber and I don't know what to do. Apple Music is a little better but it's a totally different approach, being told what's good by record labels and "tastemakers".

The way Rdio did it just seemed natural, like going over to someone's house and checking out their record collection. I almost think the others are avoiding letting you see who is listening to what so they and the labels can push more Beiber stuff.

There is no way people are going to pay for individual articles, what might work though is letting people customize what kind of ads they see.

For example I want to see car ads, movie trailers, new gadgets and I want to see what's on sale at grocery and hardware stores with 10 miles of the zip code I give it. No video, no animation, no tracking, no targeting, no fucking Taboola. And if an ad pisses me off I want a "never show me ads from this company again" button.

Indeed.com says most Angular jobs in Florida advertise $60,000 to $80,000 and a lot of those are actually back end jobs because the person who wrote the ad doesn't know what they're talking about
