Strongly disagree about Spotify. Quality aside, many albums simply aren't there! I have my own routine of discovering new pearls (YouTube used to help me with that years ago, nowadays it just suggests what I already viewed or some random stuff) and I set aside some time for that. After that, I choose the albums I really like, in the best quality.
The problem that Spotify actually tries to solve is that no matter how much we love that particular piece or album, we will get bored with it at some point, even if you dose your pleasure. So in theory Spotify could ease the process of finding interesting music. But in practice, I wound nothing can bet the tedious process of manual research and selection.
Also, what's to keep them from removing stuff later? The streaming video services do this all the time. It's a very common story to hear of someone watching some TV series, and then halfway through, it's removed from their streaming service and either disappears altogether, or moves to some other service that they're now expected to sign up for. It's much easier to just set sail on the high seas than to put up with this nonsense.
That's correct - today if you want to actually buy Adobe Photoshop, you have to buy from a vendor other than Adobe (and you will miss some recent features).
I entered the query but was redirected to a login form. If you are honestly looking for feedback and no leads, unblock the app temporarily for HN. If you are for leads, for sure you will get some if this submission receives enough upvotes, but I wouldn't count on many. These days people are not so keen to leaving their data on random websites anymore.
Just took down the sign up for anyone who wants try it out! Thanks again for pointing that out - new to posting on here, super helpful hope you get some use out of our project.
I think everybody understands the benefits of HTTPS, there is no need to discuss that. But the fact remains that forcing everybody to move, even old static websites where potential impersonation and MITM attacks matter little, turned out not so painless as the advocates had proclaimed.
Exactly, freedom is the key, but one's attitude towards how the money is spent matters a lot. I'd also add that if the money if the satisfaction from spending the money is shared with others, it's much higher.
I know they do but in my case it is the other way round: most top-paid positions are remote only, so if someone starts getting strange ideas, I won't wait for long.
