Throw some thought at the scenario and you don't care if someone's lying, an idiot, or telling the truth. The universe has abundant routes, with varying levels of creativity and morality.
Thank you. Hell of a sentence subject, hell of a retarded write-up. And with a handle like that, it would've probably helped some of the confused folk that kept thinking/this/ is the real dump.
I'm thinking it's a result of sensationalism indirectly; more importantly, the human nature to draw towards it. Hype. Mob mentality. Scoops. Juicy scandals. The same reason we latch onto fads and celebrities and athletes and whatever the hell a Kardasian is. Talking heads aren't a new fascination. The changing portion is whatever subject they're icons; the time-honored constant is that they'll get air time and incite drama.
I guess what I'm saying is demagogues are eternal because zealots are eternal. Zealotry, rather. They're the ones who everyone hates, even for factions you belong to. Feel free to pipe up, vegan slashdotter.

I must be less familiar with epigenetics than you. At any rate, science will happily rely on "obvious" to choose studies, but doesn't recognize it as a valid metric in formal conclusions. Mad rigogs, yo.
Apparently it should have been framed in reverse as an implicit umbrella - "even [working class] first-worlders" - to avoid affecting the more sensitive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal glands in the audience.
Then again, some stressors are exclusive to the subgroup - third worlders don't have to tiptoe around said SJW glands.
Fragmentation. Everyone wants to be a contender, everyone wants to join the bigbiznez club in every market, every arena, and data (test scores) is no exception.
What, you already have eight different math book publishers in your state? I don't give a fuck, the cash cow is big enough to split nineways and still come out margin. Sorry kids, player nine has entered the game.
It's the same story for various bullshits, including the article's metrics bullshit.
Misleading headline, if what I hear is true. It's reactive throttling, not active. And to hit 23GB you're probably an upper member of the millions of streaming drones that have taken over the tubes. Literally. The statistics put streamers at more tube than everything else combined. So don't expect me to play a violin for your reduced speed, which it turns out is a minor impact unless you're (lol) streaming.
Have those faggots not developed buffer solutions yet? Johnny the Pirate can not only queue up his Lord of the Rings the night before during soft hours, but also watch it locally forever. Without stutter or overcompression.
But if he's watching as much video as the 23 giggers, they both need better ways to fill their day. I'd say "Get a job." but that's turning into a poor joke as the paycheck club gets more and more exclusive.
>I googled and marketing garbage swarmed my ass
This is pretty much true for any internet search since, what, 2002? Any internet subject. Any internet activity. The internet.
Music is music. Turns out the songwriters that vg studios hire are usually MUSICIANS, who have a history of writing various musics for various purposes. Even though those various purposes usually end up attempting the same thing - to invoke emotion. Turns out this shit ain't all that different. Music is music.
To be fair, most video game music has a narrower invoke scope, and your CoDs, your loldotas, your Flappy Crush games aren't really music'ing because they have no narrative. But many other games ARE a form of storytelling, and a big part of what music is is just that: storytelling (in more abstract "words").
To be fair, even the storyteller games are often pigeonholed by VG settings, VG tropes and archetypes, they wear the colors of revenge and fray, of liberation and ascension, of exploration and wonder. But not always. We have a lot of music to pick from! So there's going to be some coverage of every emotion, of every scenario.
And some of it - even a tiny sliver can fill a program - is going to be good.
We've repeatedly covered the obvious concerns that we all spotted instantly, so let's have them laid out. In order of rejection:
1) It won't be fair. It treads on everyone, both creators and consumer sides. It's morally wrong.
Don't care?
2) It won't deliver. I'll say it more bluntly than TFS: "Whatever corporatefag gains you think will result, won't. Financial, control, influence, whatever you thought." It's motivationally wrong.
Don't believe?
3) It won't work. Screenshots, metacode strippers (coming to soon a one-click launcher near you), countersoftware, a fucking phone camera, anything. It's logistically wrong.
Don't believe? Don't matter. Still gonna be outmaneuvered.
In fact, if the facetwatter and ledditblrgram crowd are the only skill tier affected (temporarily at that) I'm about to say "Come at me, bro."
>Whether you have an established credit history or not, the one thing most of us have, especially millennials, is an online social platform presence.
>online social platform presence
'87 kid, even during myspace I responded to friends asking me to up their Friend Score "I don't do that. WHY would you do that to yourself?" without an answer. I've since concluded everyone is suppressing ego, narcissism, and the endless social hunger for imitation popularity, aka "need to belong". Today I will concede that "login with your facebook" might save me five seconds, but that cost is dwarfed by the unseen effect ten times over. I concede that not curating a twatter/linkedin costs me notoriety I don't need, and shitty job offers I don't want. I concede that not using ledditblrgram burdens me with free time I have to fill with the likes of/.

Sister posts bring up the usual practical/philosophical thoughts, including the broom/axe/ship parable. I don't think there can be a satisfying answer if we dodge around a certain necessity, where we explicitly establish What Is A Soul Anyway. Or self, consciousness, whatever. What was "the ship" anyway?
Me, I take a shortcut and embrace apathy. I might kill the prior body myself - I'd wire it to die in advance. I qualify that "I" am still alive and in place. I'm (we're) probably more comfortable with this than a twin who immediately begins forking what my "self" means, and we're considering unsolvables like who is the "real" me.
To answer that question: Both were equally valid, equally "the original", but at the time of inception. The clone is only "the second" semantically, yet this easy-answer technicality fades quickly, and thereafter "lol i dunno". This is why I want one body to die before It Gets Weird. This is probably the same reasoning that tells me the Blue Pill world qualifies as perfectly valid, as "reality" is nothing more than your aggregate of cerebral perceptions, and by logistical limitations can never BE more. If you call these oversimplifying (yet valid) lines a lazy way out, I won't argue.
If a time travel story involves parallel universes (it must to avoid predetermined events/fate, generally an antipode to the art of writing/storytelling) then the protagonist (or whomever is jumping) is quite likely spawning a second Self elsewhere. Maybe after that both exist simultaneously, so to speak. I've seen some settings where only the consciousness (information) can temporally jump, which mean the prior existence is abandoned to some degree, maybe an extreme degree. These stories won't always address the existential matter, but when they do I've taken to declaring that everyone is welcome/valid to be Alpha Me, even if it's a new me.
I wonder if I used "whomever" correctly. I probably won't understand if you explain, though.
IF it becomes a success it will be thanks to ero. The same statement applies to 3D printing, to a lesser degree.
The tech is already here, if nascent. However, like printed sex toys the scene is fragmented and niche, nurtured by open-source/indies but only to the limited degree they can. To go critical, there will need to be big players to drive standardization and adoption. Then the upwards spiral will kick in, as hype drives content/development which drives hype.
And like the Internet, going big time means side perks from the new technology, like virtual museum tours or whatever.
>Take your fantasy, for example
I'm anticipating growth in motion capture. Puppetry of humans ala porn studio is all well and good, but puppetry of data, of 1's and 0's has wide possibilities - wider than whatever single example you just thought of.
Unfortunately it takes too much work to properly emulate living activity. The process can be hastened by use of canned scripts and assemblies and libraries, but instead of bloat and lag like with overabstracted code, you get uncanny valley.
So, again, I anticipate growth in motion capture. And whoever pegs real-time motion capture is going to be rich.
I feel obligated to support this on technicality, much like the court ruling that said an infringement case couldn't use "steal" or other inaccurate terminology.
