Seriously. They had a completely open market, then essentially signed a perpetual deal where something like 40% of gross income is paid out to the labels. It’s absolutely insane how poorly run they were in the beginning.
If they had become a publisher, distributor and/or a label, they’d be on top of the world now.
Spotify negotiated shit deals when they were a startup and they’ll basically forever be not profitable because of it.
Definitely thinking about cancelling with this. I’ve used Spotify as long as I can remember, after finally switching over from pandora radio.
Their shuffle and discovery algorithms suck so much now that it’s nearly impossible to listen to more than 20-30 songs they just keep repeating.
Add on the extra, inserted ads in podcasts, there’s really no reason to continue to use their platform.
Then again, I’m probably going to YT music, which is only marginally better, but since I pay for YT premium already there’s no additional cost
They said this about Latifi too. Antonelli isn’t ready from what I’ve seen of him in F2. This may just accidentally stunt his career if he can’t keep up
I’d honestly love to see this. He’s designed legendary cars at Williams, and he’s probably be a solid stabilizing factor for their car development.
Also let’s him have a challenge that isn’t just make the front runner faster
I expected shit, this is worse. I don’t know how they managed to screw this one up so bad.
To get the same resolution and quality of image in all lighting scenarios, cameras are actually going to be more expensive than LiDAR. Cameras suffer in low light, low contrast situations due to the physical limitations of bending light. More light = bigger lenses = higher cost, when LiDAR works better and is cheaper
I can’t remember the last time I installed something from the front page of the App Store. I’m always searching for something specific
I could see it happening if your job primarily involves talking to people sat on the other side of the desk.
I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else
I kinda get it. The start of this season has been brutal with every race overnight. I’m not even bothering watching this entire leg of the season because of the horrific start times for the US. When they were spread out over the calendar I’d usually stay up to watch, but with them all clumped I’m not even trying.
Gonna be honest, I prefer to be in an office over WFH, despite WFH technically having “advantages”.
Home is an awful environment to work in. I get less done, worse quality and in general dislike it more. While that’s technically a personal problem, it’s not fair to say no one would voluntarily work in an office 5 days a week. I do, and know multiple other people who do as well.
WFH when you’re just starting your career sucks. Both my internships and start of my FT jobs were WFH, and it made it near impossible to learn to work with a team, get information from senior developers, get IT help if there was hardware issues and a ton of other minor things that aren’t a problem for someone who had been working at the company prior to going 100% remote, but are huge sticking points for new hires.
