An average of 1 or 2 album play per day from each user on average doesn't seem unreasonable. A bunch of people probably signed up for those 2 albums and nothing else. I remember the reviews, the marketing blitz. Everyone from Clear channel to Pitchfork wanted you to get these records. Where have their subscription numbers gone since then? Way down?
As someone who owns a tape reel machine, I have actually spent quite a lot of time looking at the reels spinning around, simultaneously listening to the music - imagine that.
Now, I got mine at a garage sale 20 years ago for $5, box of tapes included. I can't say I'd drop 11k, or 1.1k, for the experience. 0.1k, maybe. But a big part of my experience was the historicity, which won't be there with a replica.
Between your description of these bells and whistles and my time working at the car wash, I gather you drive a Chevy. I can confirm for you each bell and each whistle will be broken about the time of next year's model. Although I consider the temperature controls broken to begin with, even the physical ones they still use in some models. They simply don't measure up to old fashioned knobs in tactile feedback, speed, or precision of operation.
3) they achieved their stated goal of a nuclear deterrent, and with a peace guarantee from the United States, they finally win the Korean War with the establishment of a communist Korean state...
But yeah, today Fox News suggests we give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize... in the same article they are gushing about what Kanye West is wearing and posting on Twitter... My, it really has changed from the days of O'Reilly.
If bank tellers were, or will be, replaced - it's not because of AI, it's because of ATMs and internet banking. Dumb computing. As the comments have explained.
The kind of employees under threat now provide "financial services" that only people with large accounts have to worry about. When automation starts hitting *this* class hard, is when we can expect serious attempts by government and also our corporate dictators to address the problem. So, within the next decade they say? Probably more like three or four decades IMO - organizational inertia.
What would they need to do on an iPad, really? I graduated the year the iPhone came out, and we certainly used computers, cameras, all sorts of gadgets - when the lessons needed them. When they didn't, which was most of the time, they stayed powered off and put aside.
What's the big draw, that it's paperless? Check how many reams the schools have bought, I doubt it has decreased at all. And besides paper is easier to recycle than an iPad. They do get to learn the interface I guess - as if they wouldn't already have been doing that at home on their own - and wasn't "intuitive" supposed to be the point of the whole touch screen UI anyway?
What percentages come out if you remove Sanders or Paul from the ballot?
Oh wait, we actually did that. And look at the results... Not much better than Russia.
Where are they? All over the place, hidden, and attacking high-value targets - exactly as they are designed to do.
What they aren't designed to do, is announce their presence on Slashdot. Doubtlessly, they will be reported here - after things called investigations are completed, by people called researchers, organized into things called agencies.
Meanwhile, we'll have these other people called 'shills' continually trying to downplay this vulnerability until Intel finally has dumped its whole stock of bugged chips.
If you haven't been paying attention - the security researchers left Slashdot around 15 years ago, and the shills have been gradually filtering into their place since then.
The US does have "child brides" as was reported on Vice, but every state also has an age of consent law somewhere from 16 to 18, so sexual acts with a 12 year old bride are still illegal. Even if the marriage is legal.
I'm born and raised in Texas, and I'm sympathetic to the gun rights cause, and so predisposed to be sympathetic to the NRA. But when they do something like this, any sympathies are totally erased. I couldn't think of a clearer demonstration that the organization's concerns lie largely outside of people's rights, and that it's some dumbass political/lobbying group. Not even a particularly smooth one, it now seems. Why cross streams with the unrelated issue of net neutrality? I guess some of the higher-ups are getting a little *too* giddy about the general corporate takeover of America and are starting to get sloppy, having trouble staying on-message... following their leader, I guess.
By forcing you to download and run an executable before they restore your access to the site. At least, that's how they did it a few years back when I ran into this issue. For me it was a very minor problem - I simply didn't use Facebook for another couple years, next time I happened to try logging in, no hint of the malware scan. I guess maybe they have "malware forgiveness" if it looks like the scan might stop you from using the site again? I imagine the *average* Facebook user would download and run anything they pushed on them just to get back in.
The "base" response (lol) is total shit under 300 Hz... The +/- 3db range is only 300 Hz - 12 kHz in the figures I have seen... And this article is conspicuously lacking in figures. The figures I quoted certainly line up with the physics of having a driver no larger than about 4 inches... You won't get any kind of real low bass response out of that, regardless of how high the excursion is. If the word "audiophile" wasn't a good enough clue that whatever you're reading is bullshit. $1000 speakers? You can find "audiophiles" spending triple that for turntable tech that was outdated 30 years ago, plus "directional speaker cable" and stands to lift them off the floor and other crap that was never anything more than hocus-pocus at ANY point in history.
Come to think of it, Apple's Reality Distortion Field and audiophiles are a perfect match!
It's more like Louis CK joking onstage about jerking off in people's faces then the next day he invites women into his office to... Jerk off in their faces.
Everyone has problems. Many lack the introspection to see them, the maturity to acknowledge them, or the tools/opportunity/support/need to work on them. Psychologists, on the whole, will be more able to pick up on mental problems - including their own. I don't fault them on *that*.
There are things to fault them on - many of the medically-practicing ones are blind to problems that exist outside of the rigidly-defined codes of the DSM and the ICD, for example - but they're still way better diagnostic manuals than, say, the Seven Deadly Sins. The study of soul sickness has come a long way, and it's got a long way to go. Faulting them for being human does nothing to advance science or society. That requires discussing ideas, conducting experiments, and yes, reproducing those experiments... Not dismissing ideas out of hand because, at some point, somebody somewhere was wrong about something else.
Pointing out that there is no alternative who wouldn't do exactly the same thing feels so very passé, but still I feel it must be said, since it's just as true today as it was 10 years ago, and 20 years ago, and so on. You're proposing a free-market solution where there is and can be no free market. You're proposing that we switch to AT&T to punish Verizon when Pai's policies benefit both. What do you say about fixing the actual problem - corporate stooges being put in charge of our government? Or do you think the stooge from Comcast would be a bit nicer?

No, TeenSpy just turned out to be a double agent.

I post that kind of data online for free on a regular basis, I'm not particularly worried about it.
Theoretically yes, if analog was better than digital in and of itself, which it isnt.

The US military doesn't enforce Christianity, not directly anyway. That's the police force.

Nvidia makes custom hardware to play raster games too. They call them "video cards". I hope they can cheat the ray tracing right into my computer.

I assumed iHeart and Clear Channel were the same.
Sounds like a shitty contract, but when you are the public face of these morality investigations, I can see the reasoning behind it.

What if I'm a pedantophile? Slashdot would be like a dating site.

Yeah, Israel - that's a great model for a secure, peaceful society.
In Korea, only old people use Facebook.
