No official should profit off their office... unless it's Pelosi, or any of the numerous public officials making millions on a 100k per year salary. He should just go back to looking in the mirror with his hair gel.
Is it just me that sees it as a tad ridiculous that the leaders of these companies need external regulations to avoid safety issues? To me it seems like they're trying to find someone else to blame when what they're developing turns into a problem. As leaders they should be accountable to ensuring the proper safeguards are in place and responsible if they fail in that regard. No regulation required if they do their jobs.
I'm cracking up because they do seem to be everywhere right now. But whether the popularity and exposure is manufactured or not the talent is certainly there. That guitarist is an absolute pedal wizard. And the drummer is pretty fantastic too.
Not everything in the 80s was synths and drum machines. The Smiths, The Cure, Echo And The Bunnymen, Simple Minds, XTC, Midnight Oil. There were a lot of good bands that used real instruments. Not saying there isn't a place for bands like Depeche Mode, New Order but it wasn't all like that.
No, the slop part is in the submitting. Linus has even talked about it. Multiple people submitting the same bugs often times without vetting is it a bug, why is it a bug, what's the resolution to the bug. 1000s of people submitting bugs like this does not make things better. It makes it a maintenance nightmare to wade through all of that.... slop.
To me the time is just a number. I think it'd solve a lot of problems to just adopt UTC world wide. It'd be an adjustment at first, but eventually everyone would get used to sunrise and sunset being at their regional time and we could focus on things that matter.
As long as scalpers are essentially tolerated the behavior won't stop. If they started seriously cracking down the risk vs reward wouldn't be worth it. Long jail sentences. Asset forfeiture. And pay it back to the people they ripped off. Not just line the government's coffers. They'll go after Napster users for downloading music, but concerts are usually an artists main source of income. If they could get the scalpers out of it I'll bet the ticket sales would be a lot higher.
