You mention your discover weekly. Do you know how that algorithm works? It suggests songs that you have not played, that other people who played songs that you played. It’s the same positive feedback loop. It’s songs already popular that it promotes to be played more. Which makes them more popular so it recommends them more. And thus you end up with the most steamed artists only making 15% of the content.

Does it work? Passably. For the majority, mostly generic listeners. Is it a fair way to structure a platform and to dispense payments? No. A great business model however.

If you make a great song, and Dua Lipa makes a crap song, which one would be featured and added into playlists by Spotify’s algorithms? It’s not a level playing field. It doesn’t promote content that isn’t already popular.

Which is mostly due to Spotify’s playlist and algorithms. Which fall victim to the positive feedback loop issue. Those popular artists are suggested, promoted, and played more frequently so more people hear them and thus play them more. It’s not a level playing ground. It’s a self generating walled garden of artists.

95% of the royalty pool goes to 200000 artists who generate 15% of the content. Sounding less fair the more you look at it.

Some Australian stuff in the 90s was… Interesting https://youtu.be/CkpP8ElRfYk?si=Xz3-x6tjrv-pOI4P

Have some savings in case of emergency. A few thousand at least.

Work out a budget. What you earn, minus your bills + 10%, is the money you have for fun. The 10% helps prevent bill shock. Personally, I record the amount of the last four bills and average them then add the 10%. Seems to work.

Inherit or buy quality cookware and learn how to cook. Quality isn’t necessarily expensive. And good cooking is cheaper and healthier than anything else. At the start doing meal prep recipes to cover a week would be good.

Still plugging back into nioh 2 when the mood grabs me. Such a perfectly balanced system.

Sure. I check a step then do it. Then wake my phone up and do the next step. It’s not like I have the screen on the whole time. And if I did, it’s one hour. That’s not my whole battery.

But if you are a true apple user, you’d be watching the recipe on your ipad not your iPhone.

I find it hard to believe there is a real need for a wireless charger in the kitchen. The whole point of increasing the efficiency of wireless charging is to reduce the time and number of times wireless charging is used.

Overnight charger and one at work? Seems like a reasonable amount of tape?

I mean, I would just stick down the charger?

How many adolescents die from bike accidents?

But teens are not primary school and are far more than 13 and 14. Why would you ignore 15-19? It seems like your point only covers a minority of cases in which case any recommendation will have a minimal impact. Why are you so concerned about a minority of cases?

#1 killer of teens is dangerous driving most often influenced by peer pressure. Removing the peers by putting them ona bike would reduce the teen mortality rate by far more than the mortality rate of teens on bikes going over 30mph. See, stats can be used in many ways. Not always supportive of your opinion. Which is why it is important to choose a source that specifically relates to the topic. If you don’t want it pointed out that your source is irrelevant to the discussion.

Your welcome to your opinions. I’m just pointing out a study of primary school children is irrelevant to this particular thread. If you have studies on teens, I’d love to read them.

That’s primary school children. Not teens.

Indeed, by pretending to ignore what I wrote but devoting time to putting in a reply, having no basis for your mistaken assumptions and following up with insults that only relate to your own behaviour, I’m finally comfortable calling you out as unfit to be CEO of your own skid marks. Couldn’t even troll your own turds.

Yeah, choose ignorance. We’ll both be happier.
