If your contribution is to quote an old rap song and make a meta complaint about how people will react to you, then you're right - you don't deserve a positive reaction.

That book was seminal for me too and is the genesis for where I am today. Flanders' accurate criticism of "mystery meat navigation" was incredibly influential for me and still reverberates in my mind when I think about usability issues.

I agree. They have painted large concrete structures like this in cold weather places in the United States and they start chipping and deteriorating almost immediately. A deteriorating "public arts" project where untalented "artists" graffiti the side of an overpass is far worse than plain concrete.

Doing all the things YouTube does, like transcode videos, gets complicated quick.

At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, we created our own video hosting site, https://mediahub.unl.edu/ (https://github.com/unl/UNL_MediaHub) to self-host videos for when avoiding government or k-12 firewalls is desirable as well as integrating with rev.com for captioning.

It's really unfortunate that higher education hasn't banded together more often to develop projects of mutual interest.

You're still speaking in a generality like the parent post is complaining about with the press coverage.

There would be a big difference between Jones saying "the shooting was fake, it was a hoax" versus "that father on screen, John Smith, is a liar and an actor and doesn't even have a kid plus he's probably a pedo".

Well, which is it? What did Jones actually say about Sandy Hook? That seems to never get reported.
