That's a hell of an assumption to make


On desktop, the page remains white and then the new logo fades and scales into place before the rest of the content appears. I assume they didn't test that on mobile.


>But Consciousness... since quantum information isn't lost

Is this one of those instances where the word 'quantum' is used to hand-wave away weird ideas?


A massive reason I prefer spotify is because of the social aspect of it. Being able to look at a friends playlists is a pretty big deal for me. I would agree if they were pushing something like statuses or likes but I think Spotify's implementation of social actually makes the product much better


The Apple Music 'for you' section was something I never really bothered to check. I found the recommendations were poor. I love Spotify's auto-generated playlists. They have a slight problem where if you decide to listen to a new genre for a couple days it suddenly assumes that's all you want to hear, but that's a minor issue


>And non Apple fanboys would never go to Apple music,

I did. Apple Music still has one major selling point: They own iTunes so anything on iTunes is on AM. For spotify and other streaming services you still have to wait a couple hours to a few days for something to appear on the other streaming services

That being said I moved back to Spotify after a year because of how awful and buggy the UI in AM is. If Apple Music could improve the UI and fix the bugs that have been about for years they could really do well. But I have my doubts as to whether that will ever happen


>"Or, what does a passport or id card contain, which should be kept secret?"

Well for one the passport as a whole can then be used to commit identity fraud or cloned on the black market.


With due respect that's completely wrong. Clicker games have been a thing long before microtransactions were around and popular. I remember sinking an hour or two into cookie clicker: http://orteil.dashnet.org/cookieclicker/


I mean if you read the article the reason they say not to use it is specifically because they used it themselves and were burnt


It's hardly surprising sadly. Looking back through my submission history there's two instances of incompetence by the .IO handlers:

1) Storing passwords in plain text: Although the post is now down, it pointed to the fact that Nic.IO will email you your password in plain text. Something which everyone that's spent more than a few weeks coding should know not to do.

2) Another pretty major outage back in 2013 that rendered two of my sites offline.

I personally stopped using them after my last IO domain lapsed but this should serve as a stark warning to anyone thinking they can pick up a cute IO domain
