Honestly, I like the concept of this game. If you dropped all the proper names you mentioned and just call it "Just Be Nice" it would be palatable to 1000x bigger audience. You don't need to be religiously motivated to find it challenging to be nice in particular scenarios. It's a theme I've never heard of explored and I would like to play it (but without the Mormon stuff)

Firebase is Google. I don't know why they deserve different levels of trust. If Firebase has your permission to harvest your sync info, there is no reason to think this doesn't get copied right on over into googles 'track every click and movement' apparatus.

That's interesting, I thought public playlist listeners would just use YouTube. If not to have access to your own musical choices, what is the point of Spotify?

there are a lot of people in the "not that great" and "still into it I guess" camps. Those just don't make headlines. Also, some morons can only read headlines. Don't worry, the world is not as idiotic as the headline writers and readers.

In this case, someone who made a playlist. Reputation of the knowledge and tastes of the playlist maker would normally matter, but since this is purely a numbers game at this point the only thing that matters is the number of followers on the list made. "Curator" makes a list of popular songs, gets a bunch of followers on the playlist, then sells placement on the list. "Curator" has really lost it's meaning here.

if you pay people to listen to your music and they still hate it, maybe writing is what you should be doing anyway

Just don't use public playlists. You can already disable explicit. Disable "autoplay similar songs when your music ends". This is Spotify itself selling playlist placement though, not public playlists being manipulated for payola. No one can stop payola on a public list, just don't use public lists.

As far as I know, this is also an image commonly used in machine learning tutorials for image classification of species of flowers. I don't know if the tutorials use the mediawiki source directly though. I do recognize this image though. I think it's in the SciKit Learn O'Reilly book.

I think it's also probably easy to do this with stadia since it's effectively 0 users. What would he say if steam treated devs like google does?

I had to go way to far down in the page to find someone who actually read it.

Why all the graphs and details about bandwidth when latency from the controller to the screen is really the thing that matters. They mention it several times and never show any measurements.

nevermind, the contents of the primary links are completely uninteresting anyway
