Reply to The Hater's Review of Bioshock Infinite by devtesla

Reply to The group chats that changed America by Moonside

One participant in the groups described them as a “Republic of Letters,” a reference to the long-distance intellectual correspondence of the 17th century. Others often invoked European salon culture.

I genuinely think every participant in these group chats should be ******** ** *****. They think that they're intellectuals but their positions are so weak that they can't express them in public for fear of the "woke mob".

The political journalist Mark Halperin [...] said it was remarkable that “the left seems largely unaware that some of the smartest and most sophisticated Trump supporters in the nation from coast to coast are part of an overlapping set of text chains that allow their members to share links, intel, tactics, strategy, and ad hoc assignments. Also: clever and invigorating jokes. And they do this (not kidding) like 20 hours a day, including on weekends.” He called their influence “substantial.”

A bunch of middle aged men who think PC has gone too far are in group chats making jokes that they don't want the general public to see? I could never have guessed.

Reply to comment by devtesla in Actually kind of good app idea by flabberghaster

couldnt you circumvent dynamic ad insertion by like, developing a way to recognise ad audio data like how normal files can be recognised by md5 checksums? for each podcast users could flag ads and upload their like, "audio signatures" to a central server. when users play a podcast they could download the audio signatures and automatically skip periods of a file which match them

Reply to The Juicero of Bikes by voxpoplar

i think this is quite juicero but i think the og juicero is inimitable for their sheer chutzpah and the fall from grace afterwards. the way they hyped up the joy of cold pressed juice with the Juicero Juice Press, the $800 price tag only to find that the bags could be squeezed by hand, the way it felt like they were the focus of the entire internet that week... juicero was once in a lifetime. this is an overambitious kickstarter. juicero had vc backing
