I asked for a refund and they offered 7 months of Spotify. I said no I need a replacement for the screen then they said the refund will be sent to the card I pay for premium in the next 14 days.
I am not into classical music, but I think there are similarities for fans of jam bands especially the grateful dead. Ive never heard a group so passionate about specific versions of song depending on the date/location.
I feel UI designers could make something work but its such a niche group of people its hard to spend resources designing and maintaining a catalog of recordings of different versions of the same song.
Are you mad about the content or the way it was shown (interfering)? I get these things every couple weeks it's usually pretty targeted/relevant. If it's not incredibly relevant to me it's usually culturally pretty important.
Personally I think spotify is the best content provider to give me good recommendations. Compared to netflix, youtube and other media source they dont show the same 10 items mixed into other topics.
The unfortunate thing about the insane amount of tests that spotify runs to make their platform more engaging is some people will have bad experiences.
All entertainment seems to be broken. Let me watch something on netflix my recommended list is almost identical to comedy, adventure, etc. Their machine learning must show that people will just watch what is in front of them.
Trillions of decisions have been made off a tool that has poor error handling and data consistency issues. Blame is not entirely on either the user or the software, but the tool is too trusted without validation.
Programmable commands instead of a data grid would be huge improvement to quality but people use excel in many ways. Python is out of reach for most people. SQL would be an improvement as well. I assumed airtable or similar would replace excel over time. But the sunk cost for existing report and the sharablity seems to keep excel in control.
Reminds me of the George Carlin joke. "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
Keeping a raw version of the data make it easier to change in the future. If you use s3 as a data lake you can transform later into the shape you want it. Also can use tools like presto where schema is on read instead of hardcoded so transform step is moved to another time.
Yeah there is definitely some shady stuff going on. NFT appeared on my radar a month ago and now its everywhere. IMO this a bubble being artificially inflated by rich marketers. Also in general, people with wealth have given up on investing in real value business. Its high speculation crypto/stocks/shorts now. Not a good sign for the future when some of those risks fall apart.
Add in that no one can build an ecommerce website without strong web services its almost impossible for another ecommerce company to come in compete with them. Amazon is a monopoly.
Especially now. Ive been using HN for years and before covid I could see all the posts from the day before in 20 mins. Now it will take 2-3 hours. Everyone is sharing.
