I thought we had this settled: New Covid, Classic Covid, Diet Covid, Caffeine-Free Covid, and Covid Zero.
If I recall correctly, the movie was trashed in Hearst's papers.

An ISWC is an identifier attached to a musical work by a performing rights organization (BMI, ASCAP, etc).
An ISRC is an identifier attached to a sound recording by a record label or artist. It's contained in the metadata of a digital audio file like AAC or MP3.
There is currently no way to correlate the two nor are there any plans to do so. This is an egregious oversight. The ISWC connects the musical work to the author. The solution is staring everyone in the face.
Like the movie industry, writers get hind tit.
Georg Frederic Handel used to take his composition students for pork sausages and beer after their lessons, saying "Pigs and composers are only appreciated after they're dead".

Maybe I'm unclear on the concept, but I thought "social media" was defined by the graph database model. YT is subscribe/watch/comment and a one-to-many model derived from broadcast media (the Tube part of YouTube; remember cathode ray tubes?).
FB and Twitter are creatures of the internet, a network of networks. The real meat is who follows whom and the groups and aggregations that are derived from that. FFS, Myspace was closer to a social network than YT.

It was just sensor prioritization and allocation, not autonomous flight.
The U-2, a Kelly Johnson design for Lockheed, flies at the "coffin corner" at altitude. It's stall speed is 5 kts below overspeed, a problem solved by analog autopilots.

GG resigns from The Intercept because he objected to being edited (and fact-checked, but that's besides his point). Then he drops 10k words that show why he needs to be edited.
Read what The Intercept's Editor-in-Chief Betsy Reed had to say.

$6.00 gets you 40 seats. It's a steal.

Now, now, don't be so hard on DNS-and-BIND. This just might be Paul Vixie's burner account, the one he sh1tposts from.
Twenty fücking years I've been on this hell site and it has always (FR1ST P0S7!) been (Natalie Portman) a (covered in hot grits) place (Netcraft confirms...) to (Jon Katz) sh1tpost (Jon Fücking Katz). Twas ever thus.

Can we just throw this crap into a subduction zone? Along with all our garbage? And the Republican Party? And Rush Limbaugh? And all Slashdotters? Please?

You're a white male. You've never been called a faggöt, nïgger, kïke, sp!c, or cünt.
But you will die on this hill so you can call someone a faggöt, nïgger, kïke, sp!c, or cünt.
We see you.

Trump is a plain talking, no holds barred, brash guy who doesn't really care what anybody thinks. He talks from the cuff and what you hear is what he's thinking, not some trite set of rote platitudes that have been focus group tested. You get Trump, unvarnished, rough, clear and exactly what he's thinking. He's not some subtle, read between the lines guy and your attempts to do that with him are misplaced.
This is the problem: the fetishizing of a narcissistic sociopath.
Something called "statesmanship" used to be a requirement for office, the basic skill of not saying anything to make matters worse than they already are.
"Common decency" was also a requisite for participating in our national conversation, but that ship got stuck with a limpet mine called "political incorrectness" and sank without a trace.
"Expertise" was another requirement, though the bar was always low: a passing familiarity with the US Constitution. Middle school stuff.
But no, the GOP went full kakistocracy and put this spectacle in the White House as cover for their self-dealing, democracy be damned.

Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
