How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

I gave up years ago. Security fatigue permeates my entire life.
GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don’t think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don’t see why there should be an organization with memberships? That’s not at all related.
I’m also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn’t expect an additional one to be necessary. It’s just conceived as a legal framework change,
When I’m talking about starting companies, I’m talking about several, not competing through the size of they’re libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.
I am not talking about a concept for a company, I’m talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.
I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it’s time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.
I just wanna pitch something:
What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?
As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don’t need to make any deals, you just use what’s out there and pay the fixed fee per user who played the song.
This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.
In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I’ve kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.
Honestly, I’d tolerate an adless grey timer, you don’t even have to trick it that time has passed.
Just open in another tab, wait for skip option, skip (but probably not in a perfectly timed robotic way), then pause. Grey and silent midroll would be annoying but still tolerable.
People who know programming and how far it can go seem to sometimes trap themselves in very difficult problems that would be great to solve, but undervalue a version without that complicated luxury.
I’m all for trying to solve it, but a tool that doesn’t is still good. I just don’t want to be aware of what the companies want to make me aware of.
Yeah okay that’s fucked, that undermines IDF claims completely.
How far away from the building did they evacuate?
“the cost of living in a terrorist society”
If Hamas orders civilians to stay in buildings that will be bombed, those lives are taken by Hamas, not Israel.
Are you telling me there are people being told their building will be blown up who leave the building to go stand just a few meters away on the street it sits on?
Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent, because the “send as normal text if RCS doesn’t work” also didn’t work. Other than that it has done nothing for me.
…will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives…
We regret this decision but…
Idk if the translation is just wrong, but they’re using the word “regret” weirdly here. Almost seems like a slip of the tongue, betraying their actual regret to have done something so stupid and easily condemnable to such a degree that the international community has a very easy time holding back and not applying much leverage at all in trying to hold Israel back from absolutely obliterating them.
But frankly, I think they’re too zealous to actually regret it at all. They’ll probably live out the rest of their shortened lives in ignorant blissful fervor.
What I don’t see is why smoking should be the main nicotine delivery device when it can easily be done without the cancerous smoke.
Isolated nicotine is apparently not cancerous. We just choose to enforce the continued coupling of nicotine and cancer, and refuse to permit alternatives that decouple if from cancer if their dosage isn’t pitiful.
“Either get the weak alternatives, or the cancerous ones.”
The moderate non-cancerous alternatives are illegal.
I guess the two categories didn’t cover the whole space of possibilities.
But many cases are clear-cut.
Yeah, there’s a significant difference between a recording and generating.
Doesn’t work that well when most of your Chinese cousins also act mad for this disgraceful and disrespectful act.

I’m wondering how they can legally sell them at all. yes, they are impressive vehicles and can be used relatively safely. but they are absolutely objectively more dangerous than 4 wheels.
Cool take, I also have one:
MOTORCYCLES ARE DANGEROUS.
Motorcyclists should be legally prevented from buying, owning, and operating them. The freedom to put one’s own life at risk is not a freedom I believe in.
Everybody should be forced to choose between 5 travel options over land: Walking, bicycling (standard construction), car, bus, and train.
No other option should be permitted to the public, the public must be protected from themselves.
The people who use them won’t be sending them back, I know for example Adam Savage has one and he has professed his love for it like many other microEV users have.
But I’m sure there will be a lot of dusty ones sent back from those who didn’t end up using theirs a lot.
Personally I hate the current state of microEV, it’s held back hard and combated by the government very effectively in some places.
I’ve wanted to dump $2-3k on a good one, but they’re neutered here in Norway. To get a proper engine to get up hills you’d be spending more than the price of a moped to go slower than cyclists, unless you choose to break the law.
