There is no fourth estate. Wake up.
The people in this thread sound like a bunch of stodgy fops who don't actually know anything about writing.
The notion that these companies are meaningfully suing each other over "trade secrets" as opposed to "government help" is rather laughable to me. Fuck Google and their attempted U.S.-sanctioned digital monopoly on Earth.
Oh cool another round of "but they can't spy on the whole internet" from media stooges and their dumbass readership who haven't seen the pattern that's been going on for 20 fucking years now.
Attitudes that Lead to Mixing Problem Domains
Heady fucking stuff, just wow.
Sounds good to me. Hollywood is a trash heap and every single person on Earth would be better off if it didn't exist.
Pulses and waves compounded in whole number ratios form periodic and stable, i.e. consonant, waveforms. But oh yeah some people just play all random frequencies or like a dog. A dog can be music. It's such a huge…
If I worked at Riot, I would go quit right now.
I feel like every 4 or 5 years, everyone gets together and celebrates terse writing like it's some new insight.
When people at large start to notice that a given publication or platform -- reddit for instance -- has been compromised by certain left-wing ideologies, you will inevitably see a narrative about its…
The real problem with Facebook and the News is that facebook is using human curators to assert, without challenge, what is "trending" with the other humans and then denying it. i.e. The real problem with Facebook and…
Oh the poor struggling ecosystem of sanctimonious bloggers who have completely pissed on this idea of a "fifth estate" by collusively censoring all discussion of how they suck. That will be soooo terrible if we set a…

For what it's worth, I'm pretty technical, and all these arguments in Apple's favor seem a lot like arguments for why law enforcement is generally untrustworthy, warrants are meaningless, and everyone should resist…
So there's an encrypted blob. The way you input a password has nothing to do with that blob or the encryption that was used to create it. The argument that this would be some kind of cryptographic back door seems a…
That would require them to hire HR and CR people who know something about software as opposed to constructing political narratives.
This seems like incredibly abstract, spurious reasoning to say that something which as been around for many years will never be viable ever again.
wait so which department is the FBI under and which department is the NSA under again? ... ah nevermind, I'm sure that doesn't mean anything.
I can't help but wonder if the vertical margin collapsing (in general) would have seemed worth it if we weren't borrowing concepts from print media.
"there is a clear undertone of those cultures." == "it sometimes seems that some redditors are not drinking the extreme left academian kool aid" And everyone knows that's what that means now. Downmod all you want.…
Take out the "a" and it is.
Is Mike Keneally living in poverty or something? And are you honestly suggesting there aren't many many artists who make a living independently via their web presence?
Nothing will ever be more bewildering than the people who get all sanctimonious that some rando can no longer get rich turning his blues scale riff into a 7 year marketing cicada. People who actually care about music…
I'm guilty of this too, but it would really be great if we as a society could develop some impulse against putting all of our eggs in the first shiny basket we see.
