AFAICT Soundcloud is the only music site that supports CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing).
They let artists mark each track individually whether or not that feature is allowed for their track. I've used it as source music for things on vertexshaderart.com. It will kind of suck of because of the acquisition they remove CORS support.
That's what they did in Japan. You can use your phone to read whatever you want in pretty much all subway lines. Why limit it to just crappy public wifi and a few books?
The idea of AirBnB is a good one but AirBnB in particular is an unethical company that specifically allows hosts to falsely advertise and get away with it with impunity.
I've stay at 20+ places and one in 5 has lied about their listings. From claiming it's 1 bedroom but actually being a studio. Claiming WiFi but actually stealing it from a neighbor. Claiming to provide parking but not. The latest is claiming to be 1 place but actually be several blocks away. In every case AirBnB did nothing. In the last case AirBnB even claimed it was policy that locations are false. So you try to rent something in a nice/safe/quiet area and it's actually an bad/dangerous/loud area and this is actually official AirBnB policy
AirBnB really need to be taken down until they stop being blatantly unethical.
By your argument we should include the race of the people that grew, processed, packaged, and shipped all products as well because
> Only an informed consumer who knows every aspect of the product could possibly choose the "best" product
That way people can choose not to buy from certain races.
There are valid arguments for not including certain labeling. People that think they need to know if something is GMO should be grouped in with people that think vaccines cause autism. It has no place in labeling
Really? So by your argument consumers should be informed of the race of the people that grew, canned, or are selling the product so they can choose to buy or not buy from certain races.
They're doing that because they know their current tech isn't up to it. It's funny how their fans keep defending their current tech when Firefox themselves are abandoning it as soon as possible.
So you never, ever turn on JavaScript? Or every time you turn it on you read through every line of it to make sure it hasn't changed and isn't doing anything bad?
NoScript is basically worthless. You can't possibly trust every website you run JavaScript on. Even if that's only 1 or 2 you still need a secure browser for those 1 or 2 sites or you just asking for trouble.
SO is not academic papers. It's short answers to short questions. Do you credit every single person you learned everything you've ever learned from?
Me: "Hi Celest, How's it going?"
You: "Hi Greggman (I learned Hi from my Mom at 2 and Greggman from Gregg on the internet). It's going pretty good (I learned contractions is 1st grade from Ms. Smith. Going I learned from Mom when I was 3. Pretty I learned from my Mom as well. Good too).
Siting a multi-thousand word academic paper is vastly different than attributing 1-10 line code snippets from SO.
No I don't credit people on Stack Overflow and I don't expect attribution for stuff I've posted on Stack Overflow. I see stack overflow as effectively the same as asking an extended set of co-workers.
They could have legislated that all phones must use an 80pin SCSI connector!
As much as I hate Apple's proprietariness I also hate the idea that we'd be stuck at micro USB. Not that I want smaller but I want faster connections or wireless or other solution so be available.
IMO there's really no such thing as a post scarcity society because real estate is always scares. Who gets the beachfront property? Who gets the penthouse on the 50th floor and who's stuck with the rats and cockroaches on the first. Even if we had replicators for everything else we still wouldn't have infinite real estate. The only counter argument I can think to that is we all go live in the matrix. But then there's still power/energy that is not infinite. If you need X units of energy to power your simulated home and I need X * 10 units to power mine, unless we figure out a way where energy is also in infinite supply we still won't have a post scarcity society.
As someone who is not a pharmacist it's hard to understand why things can't be done more efficiently. What's wrong with the system that this can't happen? As an example my experience in the USA (maybe this has changed) was that a doctor scribbles some illegible prescription which I then had over to a pharmacy and have to wait 20+ mins. In other countries the doctor orders the prescription on the computer. At that point a robot at the pharmacy could give me the prescription. So what's the real problem? Too many regulations? If we had a more centralized medical system would this get better or worse? Or maybe if we had a less centralized system so I could choose the company that gets shit done quickly and without mistakes. I mean from the outside it seems like an easily solvable issue. The same systems that have robots doing inventory in a warehouse seem like they could do something similar in a pharmacy.
So, since you seem to know can you explain why I can't be efficient?
Oh I see. This isn't about blocking ads for user's. It's about Apple trying to get more devs to make apps and use iAds which are not blocked so Apple can make more $$$
They should aim a little higher. Right now the MADE is basically a cheap office space with some folding tables and stuff. Hats off to them that they are trying but... for some aspirational goals they should really check out places like:
If the MADE was called the Oakland Game Club or something it would be fine as is but something called "The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment" really needs to set up their game;)
WAT? I record people's images and sounds with my brain all the time. Accessing my memory now, yesterday I was at the park. I saw a girl in a red shirt and blue shorts. She had brown hair, a tan complexion. In a few minutes I could sketch a picture of her. She was throwing a frisbee with a friend and they were talking about their dogs. She said her dog had been sick lately and she was wondering if she should take it to the vet. She had a thick southern USA accent. I could recite what she said with her accent.
Are you saying I should have asked permission before seeing her and hearing her?
If a blind and deaf person gets augmented with digital eyes and digital ears why would their rights be any different? Would you discriminate against their right to see and hear? Why?
That policy is not going to survive as people start augmenting their eyes and brains. It might be 10 or 20 or 30yrs out but it will happen. First the blind or near blind, followed maybe by soldiers, eventually just like cellphones went from military only to briefcase size to geeks only to no 15 yr old girl would be caught dead without one, so will this other stuff
App on guest's phone: "All your base are belong to us!"
(or any other cheap IP camera, network TV, network TV dongle, XBox/Playstation game, app on your computer or anything else on your local network:( )...yes I have a guest wifi but I haven't gone to the trouble to isolate every other piece of hardware on my local network from my Windows box from which they are streaming stuff.
I know Q-Games, makers of PixelJunk Shooter, PixelJunk Eden, The Tomorrow Children, NomNom Galaxy, etc, has used GameMonkey extensively for many of their games and I know several people who've left Q-Games, formed new companies and are still using it in their own engines.
Or we could just be being inclusive of other cultures that have been using emoji for > 15 years
Or are you suggesting the world should be ASCII only? Oh wait, I get it. You want to be the one to decide which characters get added. Will Chinese be included? How about Thai? What about all those BBS/ANSI characters from zillions of documents from the 80s?

Mozilla's response is to build a browser that has the same protections as other browsers.

Do you credit every co-worker?

Oh I see. This isn't about blocking ads for user's. It's about Apple trying to get more devs to make apps and use iAds which are not blocked so Apple can make more $$$
They should aim a little higher. Right now the MADE is basically a cheap office space with some folding tables and stuff. Hats off to them that they are trying but ... for some aspirational goals they should really check out places like:
The National Videogame Arcade in Nottingham
The Game Science Center in Berlin
The Computer Game Museum in Berlin
