I don't think this is disrespectful to musicians.

The way people consume music has changed and for the right reason.

Music now is a commodity that can be obtained in secs. This is totally different the old days when people buy tapes and CDs and use dedicated equipments just to listen music. If you are buying a CD for 15+ dollars, ofc it should contain more than a handful song.

Now you can literally release any number of songs at any time, and test the water as frequently as you want.

People not caring about your opinions is nearly the definition of irrelevance, so I don't see how I'm wrong here.
This is the wrong question, and an appeal the authority. It doesn't matter what my credentials are. (And, I'd even go so far as to argue that an evolutionary biology doctorate is only one lens with which to observe the relationship between identity, society, and genetics.)

The correct question is, "Is there evidence in the scientific community that male/female are a spectrum? That male/female are social constructs? That sex is a sociological construct beyond just reproductive anatomy?"

I'm happy to provide examples where, in fact, the scientific community disagrees with him.

Edit: Some off the top of my head resources:

* I assume the author is explicitly talking about humans, and not the wider animal community where sex is obviously not defined by sex organs or chromosomes. (E.g. some animals are hermaphroditic, some transition from sex to sex based on environmental factors like wrasses that develop from female to male as they grow. Interestingly, the development of human fetuses has some parallels in that we all start from the same more female template.)

* Chromosomes do not neatly land in XY and XX categories. A significant portion of people have other chromosomal configurations.

* Androgen insensitivity can result in an XY chromosomed person who appears outwardly or developmentally female. Similarly there are conditions where XX chromosomed people develop male organs.

* There are significant hormonal differences between individuals that can result in dramatically different biological characteristics, blurring the lines between what is male or female (or otherwise) quite considerably. Testosterone production, for example, is not a reliable indicator of maleness.

* Approximately 2% of humans are born with genitalia that are ambiguous. Culturally, we deal with these people very differently. (E.g. in Saudi Arabia it is handled differently than the US.) This implies there is sociological input into someone's sex -- the same conditions may be altered to be male or female in different parts of the world.

CC companies in the US made the moronic determination that the American consumer could not handle the complexity of the PIN. Or that it would take too much education and infrastructure change to get that to work. So we had a dumb hybrid approach, and usually the retailer pays for the fallout of this decision.

Secondly, I (and others) will not use my debit card for transactions (to the full extent that I can take this position practically), as debit cards do not have the same protections against fraud as CCs do.

Lastly, an observation, I'm surprised that given the potential penalties (in fraudulent charges), restaurants and other retailers don't just bite the bullet and buy the $100 terminals to get off the swipe system. Maybe it's a little more expensive if they have to replace those big clunky POS / order taking machines. But this technology always ends up costing cheaper than what the complaining businesses say they will have to pay in the beginning.

It was intended to be a strange mixture of snark, cynicism and sarcasm connecting your described situation with what Google is doing, with the hope of illuminating the different ways people might think about their own work.

In your case, describing it as "a random static marketing website for a corporation" more or less shuts down the discussion.

In Google's case, while they probably don't see YT in those same terms, the convergence of the approach towards i18n suggests that maybe they're a little closer to it than they were.

All i know is that nobody has yet to claim that. I suspect he would be charged with something related to that if he did, but you're right we dont know the details of what he did precisely.
you're conflating technical ability with the rest of the creative process: intuiting narratives in the collective unconscious & channeling inspiration from a much, much greater source to make something wholly outside of the artist.

that's not to say that artists are "geniuses" who should be put on pedestals, but it's a fundamentally different thing than a vocation
My impression is that there was actually some benefit to having really long streaming albums, at least if you were already a hit artist. You'd rack up more individual plays and thus more money. This only works, though, if people are coming to you and playing the album rather than being sent to a song via an algorithm. If that's the majority of your usage, a constant drip of new singles makes sense.

> I don’t think anyone is entirely writing off x86.

Apple seems to be.
That's fair, my issue is that these sorts of schedules only work for somewhat mainstream, full-time musicians.

> Spotify isn't saying that if an artist doesn't put out material every 3 months they'll be de-ranked.

Not explicitly, but if someone releases 5 times a year, they're bound to be on the frontpage much more frequently. This of course makes sense and increases band awareness and engagement, but possibly puts pressure on smaller bands to release quantity over quality if they want to make it.

Saying more frequent releases == more press time is so obvious that I don't really get the point of saying that. This is true for software too, btw.

But as a software developer, I can tell you that while a minor release can generate almost the same amount of press as a major release for me, a minor release is in no way significant. It usually doesn't contain novel ideas, merely bug fixes and security patches, it doesn't push the software "forward" in any way, whereas a major release usually does.

I think DJs have a thing where they release a track and then slowly drip in various guest remixes of the same track.

As for metal, am sure it works to increase engagement and that's fine. But hearing from my musician friends, they tend to like to take their time to get things right and many fans there like big album releases.

Of course everybody enjoys teasers, but if we're talking full tracks here, you'd still want that 10-14 track album where many of the songs are surprises.

It's probably different if one goes to it commercially from the get go, with the express intent of making it a full time thing, rather than sort of failing into the full-time thing as you pick up steam.

Note that this is different from live shows, which I do believe need to be super frequent for these types of bands. But I am not as sure about Spotify digital releases.

It is worth noting that he gives an example of Taylor Swift as someone doing it right. That's Taylor Swift - one of the most mainstream artists right now, with an army of composers, producers etc. behind her. That's exactly my problem with his statements.

> They've captured their attention in the form of a black box algorithm that promotes content in whichever way TikTok deems most appropriate.

Ugh no. TikTok's recommendation algorithm works the way it does because of its userbase's preference. TikTok is NOT free to change it willy-nilly. At best TikTok can "steer" the algorithm.
Credit cards do have this, that's one of the use-cases of the pin on the back. The eWallet products being pushed by various companies neatly bridges the chip/pin to the card, giving chip/pin style protections digitally.

Most phones require you to use some form of passcode (6 digits, TouchId, FaceId) which are effectively pins prior to using a payment method. Additionally, there are secure chips in your devices to do the actual processing. This means that digital purchases through eWallet methods are effectively chip + pin while still getting credit card fraud protections.
> The problem with lookibg at bad X code and concluding X is bad is that X can be anything.

The difference is that FP, procedural, data oriented, etc are all pretty reasonably defined. No one seems to agree with what OOP is, and any objection to the kind of code that is typically considered "OOP" is that "that's not real/good/etc OOP code". It's a no true Scotsman.

When I talk with OOP proponents and point to issues about inheritance or the gorilla/banana/jungle problems, they say that these things aren't part of OOP. I think when you deduct from OOP these kinds of warts, you end up with something that looks almost indistinguishable from data oriented programming (something like what you would write in Go or Rust) and increasingly something that resembles functional programming specifically now that many OOP languages have support for first class functions and more functional abstractions in their standard libraries.

So if there is any truth in the "not true OOP" argument, I think it's that "good object oriented programming" is just another spelling of "data oriented programming".
I didn't make it clear.

I wouldn't buy "your band's" album, even if I could listen to it right before buying it. I don't have the time to listen to 30 minutes of audio without being hooked onto it first.

One unknown song in my Google Music or Soundcloud auto-playlist may get me hooked... But you need to build a desire to buy the album beforehand.

I don't think I'm the only person like that, btw.

>Redefining "forgiveness" from this bilateral way

I would argue that the bilateral requirement is the redefinition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgiveness

"In most contexts, forgiveness is granted without any expectation of restorative justice, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is incommunicado or dead)."

>The injured party might now deem to forgive them, and restore the offender's previous status in the relationship--e.g. as a friend, good neighbor, etc.

That is more than forgiveness. It is reconciliation.

In the same way you can just put your music on YouTube if want to 'release' it.

You can ofc release apps, that doesn't mean people will ever use it. The cost to acquire a user isn't anywhere cheaper than a finding an listener.

I would say this is definitely true for big-label musicians. For independent or smaller-label musicians, they still have a large upside potential from certain retailers, like Bandcamp [1].

If you really care about them and they're listed on Bandcamp, it's pretty trivial to sign up for email announcements at an artist level, so you don't miss an opportunity to support them financially whenever they release new material.

Many big musicians don't even have bandcamp accounts, which (1) amazes me (2) implies that they make most of their money through other means, e.g. touring, private performances, etc.

[1] From their website: When you buy something on Bandcamp, 80-85% of your money goes to the artist, and we pay out daily. The remainder goes to payment processor fees and Bandcamp’s revenue share, which is 10-15% on digital items, and 10% on physical goods.
I see your point. But I still think that if the CEO said "software is our marketing- our real product is our influence", I'd still find that depressing.
It's the kind of project that others do take seriously though. Like the self driving car that was "unable to escape a salt circle". The artist just parked the car and drew a circle around it. No effort was made to escape. Yet everyone reacted to it like "those engineers think they're so smart but they were tricked by a simple artist."

> That removes your agency...........land you continue to live with the hurt.

My agency is from moving on not based on forgiveness. you can't just blanket classify everyone's hurtfulness. Sometimes even after you forgive someone you're still going to continue to live in hurt. other times you can move on and not forgive someone and not be hurt anymore. It has nothing to do with forgiveness. Moving on is part of and a prerequisite for forgiveness, but not the other way around.

> The other person need not be involved in forgiveness in any way..... Forgiveness is only between you and yourself.

yep that is all true. and me and myself thinks that guy doesn't deserve forgiveness. I'm not losing sleep over it or suffering in anyway. Simply I don't associate myself with that person anymore and not have them be part of my life. Even if I forgive someone I don't tell them.

People in this thread seems to have different definitions of forgiveness and mix up acceptance/moving on with actual forgiveness of someones actions.
