    A walkman costs like what, $20? A cell phone is hundreds. Do you, as a teacher really want thousands and thousands of dollars of students' electronics stashed in your drawer?

    If musicians want to pull their music off of spotify in protest, they should. If spotify wants to keep Joe Rogan on their platform, they should. I think think spotify owes Joe a pl…

    Yeah, that's why so many ships are registered to specific countries too, so they can operate with looser restrictions. It's basically "offshoring" but for the regulations. When I w…

    Homebrewers use them, for yeast culturing or making starters. I guess that's fairly lab-like, but they do it in kitchens.

    The article mentions fake or duplicate accounts but not those that exist for dead people either [1] which would seem to become more and more important over time. 1. https://metro.c…
