Is Nate the signal or the noise?

We have several stores in my area now that appear to buy Amazon and other stores returns by the pallet load (home depot I assume as there were a lot of Ryobi tools) and resells them.

This was the first round in which Iā€™ve voted and was amused, though not entirely surprised, to see genuine vitriol in that thread.

holy shit how many accidents have there been? They need to just install bull bars on the front of the train so it can quickly restart after an accident without being damaged.

Went to see Sarah Silverman standup last night in Portland. The show was meh but it had the dumbest thing I have ever seen. When you go in they force you to lock your phone in a small fabric pouch rendering it unusable even to see the time. There is small area where they will temporarily unlock it but when you leave they wand you like at the airport. Then the entire theatre has to line up after to get then to unlock 1500 individual pouches.

As if Silbermanā€™s act being photographed is that important.

Pure idiocy. Made me hate the show right from the start.

I see a fair amount of big name comedians that go on tour (at least 1x/yr, most years 2x). Got a pouch the last five times except for John Oliver, IIRC (pretty sure no pouch for his show). Itā€™s standard now.

If so Iā€™m done with comedy shows. Beyond stupid.

At least a few of the times, their show was set to become a Netflix or HBO special in the near future and they were fine tuning their material. It seems reasonable to not want a vid of your whole act that is going to be streaming soon.

It stupid because it is insanely easy to circumvent and just causes annoyance for the 99.9999% of people who have no intention of trying to record. Those who want to simply claim they donā€™t have a phone or bring a second one.

If itā€™s going to be a netflix show makes sense, otherwise itā€™s misguided unless your show sells out regardless as if a joke goes viral you win, itā€™s free publicity

Yaā€™ll are gentlemen and scholars

True. In fact at least two of the comedians I saw included a joke about that during their sets. Nevertheless, Iā€™m sure theyā€™ve done some sort of research on it and they have probably found that when they do it this way, it cuts down the amount of pirated content that makes its way into the ecosystem. I suspect that they probably have people watching for audience members who are recording and this way there are a lot fewer people to potentially have to confront.

most likely all dead with reports of maybe a couple of survivors. landing gear failure, which is weird to report a cause without any investigation yet.
