I just gave up on ever being able to really be anonymous, after I had a rather sobering interaction with Disqus. I had never used it, and wanted to leave a comment on a site (long ago -can't remember where or when). I started to sign up for Disqus, and it helpfully asked me "We found all these comments from around the Web. Should we associate these with this account?" It included some old, dead-and-gone-I-would-have-…

I do the same, but I recognise that being able to stand up and be recognised is a freedom and privilege not enjoyed by everyone.

Absolutely. I'm not against anonymity, but am rather cynical about it, and appreciate the freedom (I have lived in nightmare totalitarian countries, and my father was in the CIA).

Alright, who wants to go wardriving around the mission with me, blasting Never Gonna Give You Up?

I suppose this would be "Rickdriving"?

I think this is just literal rickrolling.

Love this idea! I presume you're using cellular? Won't it rack up a lot of costs?

Ex Shazam tech here. The signatures that the Shazam app sends are very small, so bandwith costs should be minimal. Of course, I speaking about the technology of my day 2001+, so times may have changed

It seems to also send the actual sound samples though.

This kind of project has made me realize that somewhere along the way, I quit thinking of tech as a way to build anything fun. I need to rekindle that goofball spirit.

“turn down” isn’t about the volume of the music btw.

Interesting! What is it about, then?

The phrase "turn down" is the opposite of "turn up". To "turn down" would be to decrease the intensity of the party. And "turn down for what" means something like "don't stop the party for any reason".

I'm nervous about the battery being at 91%...is it not plugged into a constant source of power?

"It's solar powered"

How does it survive SanFran's infamous sea fog that rolls in from time to time?

Any volume which makes your music become my music too without my consent is at asshole level.

I guess no one with loud music considers themself an asshole, so this should be actually giving the information on exactly what you mention.

I had a collogue who installed his speaker setup facing backwards out of his trunk. He knew what he was doing.

I know it's a typo, and I make typos all the time, but this one should be elevated to the "new word" status

A collogue:

Someone who sees their role on the team as to annoys others.
