Recording music is a hobby I use to escape the grind and that is all. You can upload your own songs, pod casts, DJ Mixes and other audio to Audiomack to share with friends, promote your band and also listen to streaming music there. It is easy to setup your personal page, you can put a banner at the top and a picture of you or your band. Uploading is easy and you can load an album picture with each song if you want. I have been using the site for a few months and so far I find that the...
...or is it? I find it fascinating. I'm curious what everyone thinks the effects (versus the intent) of the law will be on independent content creation on the internet (versus content consumption).
Every few months I write something that incites a twitter mob. There are people out there are compelled to right the smallest of wrongs by hurling days of abuse at the villain. As the said villain, I’ve developed many different strategies for dealing with these mobs. This week’s outrage: A pronoun joke (someone demanding to be referred to as "they" instead of "he" or "she" while referring to the other person as "honey" and siccing her (sorry their) followers on him in whi...

Cyber warfare against Dyn is now being investigated by Homeland Security (as well it should be). Twitter, SoundCloud, Spotify, Shopify, and other websites have been inaccessible to many users throughout the day. “We are actively in the third flank of this attack,” Dyn’s chief strategy officer Kyle Owen told reporters around 4:30 p.m. ET today. “It’s a very smart attack. As we mitigate, they react.” - Dyn chief strategy officer Kyle O...
Yesterday, Breitbart editor, Milo Yiannopoulos was permanently banned from Twitter. The reason, ostensibly, was that he was targeting Leslie Jones, the actress in the recently released Ghostbusters reboot. It would probably be more accurate to say that it was “the last straw” from Twitter’s point of view given Milo’s engagement with Jones was relatively mild and no reasonable person would argue that Milo is responsible for the abuse his followers do. Twitter’s tolerance tends to be base...
Guys, they say you can't uninstall IE, but this video proves them all wrong!!!
New AI breakthrough: One of the hardest jobs for AI has been natural language parsing. There are many examples of ambiguity that would stump most human recipients - and yet are perfectly valid, grammatically correct, etc. We humans resolve these situations by putting them in a context and/or by seeking further clarification. This task - translating a stream of symbols such as words into a meaningful mental object in our consciousness - has been partially solved to date ...
10/09/16 More of the same. Tedious correction of product data with endless errors. Still no manual for the CMS stuff. I know how to do three or four basic operations - and my instructor on those operations got a good deal wrong. As I expected, the old website disappeared and/or was blocked from my access. This directly contradicted my own instructions as well as the job requirements, so I was finally given a new address to access what amounts to the verified so...
It never ceases to amaze me that someone online will direct something vile my way and expect me to just turn the other cheek simply because I’m “powerful” (whatever that means). What they don’t understand is me shining a spotlight on them is about as kiddie gloves as I can get. And frankly, they’re lucky to get the kiddie gloves. I know ignoring them doesn’t work. Being polite doesn’t work. Social Justice Warriors aren’t interested in truth or fairness. T...
Remember "Firefly." That should be in the back of every programmer's personal perspective, like "Remember the Alamo," "Never again!," or the "Fermi Paradox," cosmic tweets conveying the essence of a haunting question or a meta-wrong still not set right, or, ... if you will, a battle cry! Look up "Firefly." Here's a reasonable source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(website) No doubt the reader has run into the Firefly algorithm on Amazon and elsewher...
Have you been getting a bit frustrated in recent weeks about having your well crafted or well-intentioned point mischaracterized as something vile and disgusting? Maybe they just misunderstood right? Nope. You have just run into someone who intentionally chooses to misrepresent your position in order to cheaply gain the moral high ground. Nearly every bit of PR trouble I’ve gotten into over the years has been the result of someone mischaracterizing something I’ve said or posted in...
The game industry has been ablaze for, really, the last couple of years about misogyny within its ranks. This really came to a head in the past couple weeks when an outspoken “indie” game developer was accused of some sordid activities in exchange for media coverage. Online culture has a serious toxicity problem. It gets worse every year. Here are 3 things that are driving it: #1 The tabloidiziation of the gaming media. First, I want to emphasize tha...
OK, think back to 1991 or perhaps '92. The web hadn't been invented yet - or implemented anyway. Ted Nelson's Xanadu was known throughout the digerati, and no doubt countless other thinkers had come up with their own mental or prototypical WWW, yours truly included, circu 1979 or so. I even spent most of a year writing a version of Prolog to run on a C64 as the foundation OS for a universal information network that I called the "Personal Knowledge Index" o...
