The article is fiction. The company launched less than a year ago. The founder claims that the company has had more than 100 clients, in less than a year? Pure marketing fiction — I doubt more than 10% of this article…
An optimistic outlook is that we have the knowledge and resources to adapt to a changing environment without loss of life. A realistic counter to that is if we were able to utilise these resources and knowledge…
Either you’re misunderstanding closet to mean a built-in wardrobe or… I don’t know what other explanation there could be. American closets (i.e: a whole room of 100+ square feet, dedicated to storage of clothes) just…
You’re arguing that a younger audience would never care for what critics have to say, in which case, Pitchfork was doomed to die regardless of the choices they made: if you’re not bringing in a new audience, you’re…
Audm was an article narration service which was eventually acquired by the New York Times. The service is now part of the NYT but still narrates articles across many publications — including the New Yorker.

Why are they a violation of the tourist status? A tourist is someone who brings money in to the local economy, that’s why tourists are coveted. If a person visits Japan for a week and spends $2000 on a hotel and $1000…
That’s not true. The jurisdiction that your business operates in doesn’t change depending on where you’re located. If you’re running a business without a business entity (why?) then you can use a merchant of record…
A digital nomad visa serves an important purpose: it allows someone to stay in the country longer than as a tourist. The existence of a digital nomad visa bolsters the understanding that digital nomads are allowed to…
I’m asking because I visit Japan on a tourist visa and I have never encountered this rule. I’d like to learn more about it from official sources. The purpose of a digital nomad visa is to allow for a longer stay.
Can you share the tourist visa regulations for Japan that say this? I haven’t been able to find any. Thank you :)
“The most similar existing status is usually used by tourists, does not allow work and allows a maximum stay of just 90 days” I don’t think that’s correct. A tourist visa doesn’t allow you to work locally but they do…

I mean small relative to big artists, not small in absolute numbers. If you have less than 1k streams you probably have less than 50 listeners which is basically nothing. A (relatively) small audience would be made up…
People say this but don’t understand the reason artists don’t make much per-listener on Spotify etc. is because of their record deals, it’s nothing to do with Spotify. If you’re an independent artist you can live…
The music of today is built on the music of yesterday and so on and so forth. The top 100 of 1970 has very little variety when compared to the top 100 of 2023. There’s 5 decades of genres that have developed since 1970.…
the top 100 is more varied today than it was at any point in history.
Don’t charge based on profile visits: you’ll punish people for utilising the service and you’ll create a negative experience when someone reaches that limit. People should choose to pay as an active decision to gain…
We have so much lower hanging fruit to tackle first that doesn’t even require research: what’s the point in extending your miserable life a couple more miserable years? Adding a decade on to your life of extreme…

Addiction isn’t rational so the answer may be as unsatisfying as “people got addicted because they got addicted”. Many people addicted to real slot machines are addicted because you press a button and something happens,…
