The crazy thing is Dice as a ticket platform solved this problem 10 years ago.

If the artists in that letter collectively persuaded ticketmaster to implement the same system or otherwise switch to Dice/Fever, then others could follow suit and kill off touting for good.

Yep, psycho vibes.

Reminds me of a Dutch joke. A man gifts his parents a holiday to Switzerland in the mountains.

They come back the next day.

He asks “Why are you back, did something go wrong?”

The mother replied “no, it was a nice hotel and friendly staff, but there was just no view”.

Probably not as high and impressive as the Chilean mountains, but up north you’ll get more hilly terrain with nice views.

Then the audience can watch it again on YouTube at 0.75x speed.

Talk 1.5x faster and you’ll fit it in.

But if you’re a social media app and you’re trying to tell advertisers “look how much traffic we can send to sites!”, let’s not forget about the bounce rate. Traffic quality over quantity.

When you type a url into Safari, it will start to preload the url in the browser before you hit the enter key, so preloading is a trick to make things appear to load faster.

So there is a performance argument for it.

Haha, it’s the James Bond licence plate As A Service.

How is that even legal?

Coconuts are banned for 3 reasons:

1 - as sealed objects, the gases inside can become pressurised and lead to an explosion.

2 - biosecurity - fresh coconuts risk contaminating biologically-sensitive environments like Australia and New Zealand.

3 - they are difficult to scan due to the shell.

Such a great comedian.

And thanks to that article, I learnt about Bioswales in the Netherlands
