Anyone?
@TemporaryNickName "Like riding a bike" means you never forget how to do it. But I don't know what it means in this particular context, as I have never played the game, and can't be bothered watching the clip that you pasted in.
@TemporaryNickName gah. 33 minutes? And Blizzard? I guess I'm with David on this one, my life's too short.
And right in the very first seconds it suffers from that stupid trope that's so ubiquitous even TVTropes haven't noticed and listed it yet.
Aircraft swooshing around in stupid trajectories for no frigging reason whatsoever, other than that it doesn't look good on camera if you showed them taking the route any sane pilot would take.
I wish people who do this were forced to take planes that actually fly like that, going around every building they can find, and landing at the weirdest angles, rather than going in a straight line.
It all started with the stupid Star Wars. Where when they need to attack the Death Star, they fly into that stupid 10-feet wide chasm, to navigate it forever, die in huge numbers, and then fire the torpedo at an angle of 90 degrees, rather than just firing it in a straight line from orbit and be done.
@Robusto and don't forget running out of fuel. Because when you are moving at 100 miles per second in space, and suddenly discover that you don't have kerosene, you stop on the spot.
Plus, the defining moment is always something like a fire onboard, or one guy clinging to some edge, or two guys slapping each other. They could have all of that without leaving their appartment.
It's funny, but I asked a practical question about the durability of machinery for interstellar space flight, and people just said it was "too speculative." Hahaha. If I'd asked whether warp drives were possible, people would have been all over it.
> It would need to survive for decades unless it was travelling at a double digit % of the speed of light.
@Robusto nobody does. It's a completely random feature so redditors still have something to discuss after having discussed everything, seven times a week, for seven years.
See, we're not even on Reddit and we're discussing it! It wurks.
@RegDwighт However, I must admit that Blizzard has been sucky lately with their Mist of Pandaria obsession. In that case, NCSoft is a better game corporation than Blizzard
Ever imagined doing it functional programming way?
List<Integer> original = Arrays.asList(1,2,3,4,5,6);
List<Integer> oddList = filter(MatcherFactory.odd, original);
for(int s : oddList){
System.out.println(s);
}
//and it prints out 1,3,5
And make a class called Match...
these people need to learn how to do functional programming
You can earn money with your Flick photo's, and reward other people's Flickr photos. The same applies to the entire web, if you install the right plug-in; but for Flickr all you need to do is create a (free) account on Flattr.com.
I know all that. I registered, too. This is not a new idea. But I couldn't name an implementation.
And actually there sort of is a problem with that sort of Flickr and YouTube integration. What if I want to like or fav something without spending money?
There are any number of reasons why people fav stuff. Simply as a bookmark, for example.
Or when you like a YouTube video because some moron in it hurt himself, and you like morons getting hurt. Which is kind of the exact opposite of giving said morons money.
There's a general, inherent problem with liking. Are you liking what you are seeing, or the work put into making you see it? That's a question that comes up all the time, whenever people "Like" the war in Syria, or "Like" a video of a child getting rolled over by an SUV.
There should really be two separate buttons. This has been discussed to death, but never actually happened.
One for "thank you for the work you put into bringing this to my attention" and a separate one for "I actually like what you have brought to my attention".
It is rather the proportion that I think is the problem. If I could give the killed child 1 Flattr and the hand-crafted robot that sings operas 10 Flattrs...
We had a longish discussion with Mr Shiny about that. Don't want to start it all over.
But it's stupid.
But even with systems where you can vote up or down, like Reddit or YouTube or StumbleUpon, or SE, that is still too simplistic, so you get people voting up or down for entirely different, and entirely incompatible, reasons.
I pay a couple cents for every xerocopy, or for every VHS cassette, or for every DVD-ROM, or for every PC, even, but that money then never goes to Mozart, it goes to Christina Aguilera.
Worse still, some of that money does not even go to Christina Aguilera; it stays with the bureaucrats, as their paycheck for thinking up how it should go to Christina Aguilera.
My question was: in this day and age, why do pop singers stay with record labels and are content with receiving less than 50 % of what people pay for their stuff, when they can so easily promote themselves on the Internet?
It's like putting emphasis on every word in your sentence. When everything is in bold, nothing is. Likewise, when everyone is promoting themselves on the Internet, no one is.
@Cerberus yeah, distribute as in "give away for free". That is easy, yes.
And not just with music.
But yes, I'll be very interested to see what the music business will look like fifty years from now.
Yesterday I posted a question that maybe for many is very obvious, but still I'm not understand completely: english.stackexchange.com/questions/114325/… Can you help me another way of saying the same thing "as it was" in that context?
@Cerberus nah, that is actually the hardest part. If you can make most of your promotion not be your own, then you're golden already, and might as well not have a website in the first place.
@RegDwighт It's also easy to offer it for money, although acceptance rates may be low. But there are plenty of ways singers can make money while giving away their music for free, like Amanda Palmer (former Dresden Dolls) does; at any rate, most singers make most of their money not from selling their music, but from concerts, merchandise, and other stuff.
> idiomatically like "as it is" (in its current state / as the situation stands)
This is how you should interpret it. Although I'm not sure I see the difference between that and "as it happens", unless by that you mean temporal as, like "when it happens", which would be the wrong interpretation.
@Cerberus as soon as you offer something for just one cent, you reduce the number of people wanting it by several orders of magnitude. It is not about the price. It is all about convenience. Which is why micropayments still haven't taken off, and never will. There has been tons of research on that, and Clay Shirky has a few excellent essays you might have read.
Suffice it to say: the newspaper business thinks micropayments will be their salvation. And if that business thinks X will be their salvation, we know it will be their coffin nail.
@RegDwighт I don't know: I think there are two major problems with micropayments: 1.) most people overprice themselves; 2.) micropayments only work if all you ever have to do is a single click.
@Cerberus the point is that the latter is a much graver problem than it seems, while the former is not a problem at all. You can price yourself at a fraction of a cent, but if it takes more than one click, or even just one click, most people will not pay.
@Kiron My pleasure! Did you understand Stoney's answer about how you use "as it is" to return to the real situation after having speculated about an hypothetical situation?
@RegDwighт So ad 2.a.) if everybody were already using Flattr, it would truly just be one click; and ad 2.b.) as long as a significant percentage of people click, you're fine. Not everybody needs to click.
@Kiron Yes, that more or less expresses the same "back to reality".
@Cerberus sort of, but the much more important lesson is 3: you cannot actually overprice yourself, because the two and a half people who will pay you will pay you 10 dollars as gladly as they'd pay you 0.1 cent. And the six billion people who will not pay you, will not pay you no matter what. So actually it's in your best interest to not price yourself at a fraction of a cent, otherwise you're actively minimizing your profit.
@Cerberus no, it has been proven that you only get easy money if you're as easy to use and as fair and as transparent as Valve. Otherwise it simply does not matter what price you put on your product, you will never even begin to compete with them.
There is no way I'm paying € 10 for the picture of your hippo, but I am willing to give you a proportion of my monthly Flattr allowance, which stays the same anyway, no matter how many things I Flattr.
@Cerberus no, micropayments at this point has too specific a meaning. If we apply it to fundamentally different things, we'll only make it impossibly hard for ourselves to discuss anything at all. You could call purchasing a lemon micropayment. But then the definition of micropayment would be too broad to be useful.
@RegDwighт If all they had to do was click once, and if they liked your thing, I think a significant proportion would. Again, you don't need the majority to click.
@Cerberus that much is true. But contrary to popular belief, a small fraction of a couple thousand people giving you a fraction of a cent each won't make you a millionaire. They won't even make you a oneaire.
@Cerberus Your original question, I thought, was about not just musicians being able to put up their stuff on the Internet, but actually making a living out of it, and a better living to boot than the one they are getting out of labels.
@RegDwighт It's also easy to offer it for money, although acceptance rates may be low. But there are plenty of ways singers can make money while giving away their music for free, like Amanda Palmer (former Dresden Dolls) does; at any rate, most singers make most of their money not from selling their music, but from concerts, merchandise, and other stuff.
Perhaps part of the problem is that the biggest singers do make a significant part of their money from selling music files/CDs?
I've never heard of or anything of Amanda Palmer. Even though I might absolutely love her. I have, however, heard everything and then some of, about, and from Madonna, even though I hate her with a passion. QED.
There are probably many reasons why someone like Madonna can't/won't go independent now, if only her existing contracts, which may well be for her entire life.
But, eventually, someone like her will be able to make just as much, or more, money independently.
If the singer has control, she can pay a decent price, instead of being forced to pay inordinate amounts of money per hour that this person worked for her.
In fact if you hired someone outside a label, now that is when you'd have to pay per hour.
With the label, you just give them a sum of money, and they do with it whatever they please. Hire one webmaster, or ten, or none. And don't you dare tell me that these labels somehow pay webmasters decent rates, of all things.
And I have to go make music myself. So allow me to silently disappear while you're searching for an article on something I care way less for than for pressing keys on actual musical instruments.
So my point is, if you are in control, and your literally someone by the hour to promote/etc. your stuff, you end up paying way less, and you keep more. Why do you think those labels are so rich?
> It's a licensing arrangement. The deal that [musician] Trent [Reznor] is able to do at this stage of the game is different than what he would have been able to do at 19 years old coming into his first arrangement.... There are always different levels of accommodation and leverage that you're able to do. For Trent, fortunately, at this stage of the game, he's able to license it and continue to own his masters... and, really, that's the most relevant thing about the deal.
Well I am sorry to inform you that people are dumb. And lazy. But mostly dumb. And things like real-estate agents, or music labels, or lottery, or politics, is just a way to distribute from the dumb many to the not-so-dumb few.
@RegDwighт Yes, but there is more to it than that: people used to have no other option than to work with a label and give the label full control over everything. Because they couldn't distribute their own music and organise their own concerts. Now they can, by means of the Internet.
@RegDwighт Which proposition of mine is a truism? And what is your position, then? You seemed to be saying singers weren't going to be more and more independent of record labels as I described.
My question was: in this day and age, why do pop singers stay with record labels and are content with receiving less than 50 % of what people pay for their stuff, when they can so easily promote themselves on the Internet?
