Not trolling. These are my opinions and I've posted relevant articles for most of them. If you feel like banning me then at least be clear that Hacker News continues to stifle valid criticism because it dislikes the view it presents.

But yet they clearly state they make money by charging artists to play their songs for listening. Music has a dirty history of pay to play(payola) and this is just an instance of passing a small pittance onto some desperate listeners.

Yes as I already described amd you chose to ignore. Pick your choice or backup program that asks what drive and select your sd card. They are also available with wifi dongles.

Pure marketing bs. I've never had an unscathed CD-R fail. The cloud is just redundant servers and nothing more.

Yes I have and it's no less horrifying then thinking you can access your cloud server when you suddenly cannot. My point is for a small amount you could afford to buy microsd cards in bulk and backup every day. Or even CD-R/DVD-R/BR-R. But I was trying to keep the discussion to direct transfer from a cellphone as per the parent.

I agree but have yet to find one that went that way. More companies in the wild, as I alluded to, who feel that's what they should be doing with little to no understanding of how. Same for all of those brainteaser fizzbuzz-esque problems.

Yes. That's the price of saying bullying or shaming is a crime.

Why would they? You already overpaid for their hardware and ecosystem because you believe in it. A smart consumer would, given the defined variable if not wanting to switch to android etc, buy a bunch of microsd and backup to them. They sell dongles that plug into any phone's port and hold a microsd. You can even overwrite the card for free. And use its contents when you have no signal. Cloud debates are hilarious to me.

Because nobody gets assigned a task and rushes to a white board with a non-collaborative audience. The WB wire framing etc is always a discussion amongst peers. Sit your prospects at computers spec'd like they would be using in their role with appropriate Internet access. Knowing what to Google is generally the most used function. What is googled varies with each individual.

The pressure of dumping pseudo code is a poor metric.

I've worked places where the dual monitor denial was based on jealousy from other job titles like manager, producer, sales, etc. Who didn't recognize it as a task enabling tool, but perceived it as a status item that they should receive before the lowly developers.

Same goes for a quiet workspace even though their job relies heavily on talking and face to face communication.

My personal favorite is,"sure you can go to that conference/event that is related to our department." Followed by,"oh, we don't have anybody to fill in for you." And then all the aforementioned jealous employees go to something they could care less about just to get that sweet writeoff.

The lie of training seminars and conferences is always a carrot. Yet we are treated like shit at most companies for trying to get it. Obviously this doesn't apply to tech staples or cutting edge industry startups, but then again their influence on a metric is within a margin of error compared to the rest of the country.

Suprisingly good movie, I skipped it in theaters because the ad campaign was just heavy cgi Inception ripoff scenes and no real plot. Glad it came to Netflix, totally worth seeing.
