Further than that, if you're driving west at sundown it's much safer to be wearing sunglasses than squinting.

I'm not certain what the actual product uses, but the LocationSmart demo posted here last week had three data sourcing options: "[Cell Tower], AGPS, Best Available"

I don't think that would really apply to an existing urban environment - that sounds like the public transit equivalent of subdivision development.

IANAL, but I've found that "serves the public" usually means some business that is open to the general public.

This is common both in the Southeast US (where I'm from; for example "about an hour up the road from here") and in LA (where I live; for example "like 20 minutes from downtown, 45 with traffic")

True, but generally folks live within 5 miles of 90% of the places they go.

Also, a bicycle can serve as a last-mile connector to the transit system - imagine someone who lives at Wilshire and La Brea but works in West Hollywood, and would like to take the Red Line, but doesn't want to lose an hour to walking.

Generally, artist labels are for creative control, and distribution (along with most of the "business end") is left to a major.

See: G-Unit, OVO, GOOD Music, DFA Records, OWSLA...

Publishing recordings of live performances is pretty different from having a division of the company dedicated to supporting the careers of an artist roster

Right, but much in the same way that muskets and nuclear warheads are weapons... technology has changed the calculus on how powerful the weapons we have are.

Past performance does not beget future success.

I think we're all better off due to automobile crash testing, who's to say that optimizing for tests does not also benefit real-world scenarios?

FOSTA passed the Senate 97-2... I don't think that's a fair assessment in this instance

> "Justice" is about balancing the action with its punishment

Right, that's the whole point of the income-proportional fines: to ensure that the same degree of punishment is given out to the billionaire and junior speeder.

They seem to still be popular over at the DoD.

As a motorcycle rider, I'd prefer upshifting all day to downshifting all day.

What company was this?

Jumping in under here to highlight your first point: collective action is, literally, a large set of coordinated individual actions.

It sounds like you're probably located in CA, have you looked into getting that possession taken off of your record, assuming the charge was in CA? The statewide legalization effort yielded[0] a provision that allows for review and possible expungement of marijuana-related charges.

Yikes - this is bad. Criminalizing embeds (and hyperlinks, it sounds like?) is a swing at the jugular for the Internet.

it works!

> If your engineers don‘t write tests you hired the wrong people.

Disagree - if your engineers don't write tests, you need to clearly state to them that tests are table stakes, and create an environment conducive to the outcome you want (set up CI, make it fast, set aside time for test-writing hackathons).

If your engineers don't want to _follow_ that leadership after it's given, then yeah, you hired the wrong people - but don't demonize employees for not doing something they weren't told they need to do.

some constructive feedback: i had no idea that the markups were from/by the retailer, as opposed to instacart.

consider changing the messaging there? until now, i was under the impression that the markups were just another way for y'all to make some money off of me.

cheap labor !== automation

Yep. I recently had a client that kept having layout problems with an email template I had written for him, after he had edited the content in WYSIWYG.

Turns out Grammarly was injecting HTML into the editor, which in turn was being included in the email body!

Was this in DFW? I saw this when I was passing through there last month, it didn't look like a HappyOrNot terminal but very similar

While I agree with the sentiment that recorded music has been devalued to all hell, implying that an artist racking up 4M Spotify streams every month is living off of $1160 a month is a bit disingenuous.

If you're pulling those numbers, and know what you're doing, you will almost always have opportunities to make (much) more money doing shows and placements.

Additionally: while the distribution of musical success was and still is bimodal, thanks to the fragmentation of culture caused by the Internet there is a growing middle creative class.
