oh I use and pay for spotify, i just think it is hilarious how much money they are burning through with no real chance at profitability because they are giving out so much for free and really really hoping that people will pay for their service when *surprise* converting free users to paying customers is pretty much an tech fairy tale.

it isn't just their UI that's awful either their entire media library clearly has issues that they are just starting to clean up. If a band had an & or "and" in the name their catalog would nearly always be split between an entry with and & and an entry using "and", which was ton of fun for something like "Margot & The Nuclear So and So's" which was split four ways for years.

like their main chance was to get bought out by apple or google but there is no way in hell apple would touch that UI/library dumpster fire and cash flow abomination and google just rolled out their own all access thing instead. maybe facebook or twitter will try?

the metadata the companies get from labels is utter poo poo, we had to do so much normalization at my old job

we had entire systems to fix their metadata and keep it fixed so the next update wouldnt gently caress it over again

buildings in japan have numbers, just like western address systems. but they're numbered by the order they were built on a particular block.

so you have building #6 next to #42 next to #11. and building #64 might be hidden behind #42 and #11. and the next block will have overlapping numbers, you better hope you can tell the difference between a street and an alley, dividing blocks or not.

what you describe sounds a lot like cadastres

addresses didnt really exist in dennmark until 1859. before that, we used either matrikel-numbers (cadastres -- each plot of land has a designation, in order of creation since the system was set up) or old style "across the yard next to the pub"

Encode::Guess. this is not a joke, it really is close to your only option.

if your codings got mangled that means you were sending non-ascii mail w/out mime. you're in a world of pain

i meant more like, how do i actually do it. theyre all sitting around in a gmail account & in mail.app so i guess maybe i download them with Net::IMAP, feed them through that guesser & put them back up? ugh that seems like way more effort than im willing to put into it

well someone just pointed out a couple days ago that google has a serious problem with division of labor and duplication of work. like 6 different units that all do their own version of "android for thing" for instance. that's a real issue

how is even two groups working independently on the same thing even a realistic problem if the management have any idea what is going on?
