Uh...What?


This topic is interesting. I am on the condo board in a 20 unit association, mostly attached townhomes. The biggest issue is the person in the "owners" unit, the one with the most invested, not playing ball with the other units.

That said if anyone has tips on good condo management companies in the Boston area, let me know!


Interesting. Are you using it prophylactically? Is this common in The Netherlands?


No, perhaps my wording was unclear. It's an on-demand thing. The kid complains about itchiness, I give her a pill.


Tell that to the lawyers who are paid lots of money to be risk adverse. As others point out, the law operates on precedent, no lawyer wants their decision to be the one that makes their employer a test piece.


I'm going to blow your mind...

The "mastering" process of audio mixing historically starts with the input of "slave" tapes...


I just assume someone with a water sports fetish is about to get a dick pic.


Is anyone aware of a chaos tool that isn't a SaaS (free or not) and doesn't require using Spinnaker like the current Netflix chaos tool does?


Yes, we compiled a list of all the OSS alternatives to Chaos Monkey here!

The old chaos monkey didn’t require spinnaker. You can find it here: https://github.com/Netflix/SimianArmy


> Also it's frankly weird how the last capitalist era there is basically enshrined in their culture

No, I think your first list perfectly enshrines the effects of modern day capitalism on modern day Cuba...

> and we both release the funds before parting way.

Doesn't that require you to trust that they release the funds? Do smart contracts have a way to dispute an outcome?


>Do smart contracts have a way to dispute an outcome?

Yes, but you have to write code to implement dispute resolution, which in turn implies you have to devise a form of "proof" to be presented to the contract. This can be tricky (or impossible).


I'm a paying customer but can anyone tell me why shuffle play is the default? If i'm listening to an album I typically want to listen to it from start to finish and the extra clicks to do that are annoying. But there must be a reason it is designed like that?


Do you mean the big green button? You can usually click the first track to start playing in order.


That's funny - I was thinking today that I really like this feature, but I do think it's an odd default.

I have massive playlists of all random songs, so I like that I can hit the button when I'm on the move to play a random selection of my preselected music.


> why shuffle play is the default

I expect it's because A/B testing showed that most users preferred that behavior. This makes sense from their radio/playlist-centric model, which seems to de-emphasize single album listening.
