Pretty sure they used fake ads, but it’s a good precedent anyway. Edit: and yes the album is available on Spotify in full.

This makes me wonder… would Spotify allow ads in music? Can I upload a music track that has an ad in the middle? Hmm…

These long ads are actually separate tracks, so you can just skip to the end. The pain in the ass aspect comes mostly from the fact that not everyone has the app open in front of t…

I am surprised you are getting downvoted. Very long ad breaks on paid accounts are unacceptable and the reason I refuse to listen to this podcast.

Oh I see. My ad blocker seems to block all those video ads pretty effectively! Even then, why would they not just run video ads in that spot? What is the point of trying to distrac…

The auto playing videos that are not related to the content of the article are, perhaps, the most baffling thing for me. I open an article and watch a video for a minute trying to …

That’s not directly comparable. Antivaxx concern is not rooted in science or statistics. It’s rooted in conspiracy theories and anti-science. In a similar way you could argue that …

So, for example, all federal funds should be withheld from Florida until they introduce and enforce statewide vaccination? And we are going to do that with booster shots as well? T…

Well, I was responding to the comment about fat people in general, not obese Covid patients. I don’t think the obesity factor should be taken into account at all. Re your response:…

OK, let’s explore that. At what level do you think this would be enforced? Federal? Completely unenforceable unless you want to involve the military domestically. State level? Obvi…

Are hospitals overwhelmed because of fat people in ICUs?

What do you expect to happen? 20% of the population will not get vaccinated and will wait for Covid to go away? This is also highly unlikely. Keeping the country closed and divided…

I do believe there is away to send a more complete and nuanced message. We can reopen and keep communicating the fact that the disease is still here, people should be careful. I am…

Sorry do you live in the US? Do you really think a vaccine mandate is possible here? People will literally fight that with assault rifles. This situation is already tearing our soc…

That sounds like a good start. I hope more hospitals will follow this example. In general, I think it’s very unhealthy to attempt to take away people’s agency and treat them as chi…

That’s what I meant in my last sentence. Unvaccinated Covid patients should have a lower priority. I haven’t heard of any hospitals trying that.

Speaking for myself (as I am pretty healthy). My concern is not about dying as much as it is about developing long Covid and other not fully confirmed potential complications. Sayi…

Looks cut off in portrait mode but fits fine in landscape (iPhone X).

People are free to partake or not partake… no one is forcing people to get vaccinated, there is always an alternative. A restaurant is requiring patrons to be vaccinated? Don’t go …

Sure, I agree that obesity is not a great indicator. I just used it to illustrate that an unhealthy population can be very large. Another example: 6.5% of Americans are morbidly ob…

Why is the contract creator’s intent mystical to you? It’s very clear both from the content of the contract and from the explicit (known) description of the feature. In this sense,…

What’s the difference between a bug in a smart contract and a bug in an online banking application? The fact that the contract’s code is public, immutable, distributed doesn’t make…

“Unhealthy people” is a very large group. For example, obesity is considered an unhealthy state. 42.5% of the US population is obese.
