Frankly, I’m disappointed I can’t pick prices that end in $X4.20!


$42.69/share is just sitting there, patiently waiting.


Or $X.69! OP, do you even Matt bro?


Lol


I drive past that billboard between Columbus and Cincinnati all the time! FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew have coopted it for their rivalry games, calling it the "Hell is Real derby". Seems like this week maybe hell and crypto are the same thing?


I believe in that case it's pronounced "reál".


This video from "Every Frame a Painting" about 'F for Fake' is good as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GXv2C7vwX0


I'll go ahead and give my vote of confidence for all of "Every Frame a Painting" - for a complete newbie like me, it was an amazing introduction to film in general and understanding what to pay attention to, and why certain movies or directors are interesting or exciting to some people. Now I can't help but see more of these details everywhere.

The Akira Kurosawa one, the Ensemble Staging one, the Satoshi Kon one, the Wolf Children one are some of my favourites.

Nerdwriter1 does similar stuff but it's a bit more hit or miss for me. Some of it I love, versus some is a bit too out on a limb.


I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way about Nerdwriter1. I loved his Shane Black and Lord of the Rings leitmotif videos but some of the more conceptual stuff can be pretty hard to take. A good example would be his Bon Iver video which mostly seems like conceptual waffle.


I think he [the Nerdwriter1] tries a bit too hard to keep a regular schedule.

Compared to Every Frame a Painting who seems to release videos when he finished it.


Nerdwriter also branches out more into subjects he doesn't actually have expertise in, while Tony Zhou is at least a professional editor who sticks to talking about editing.


It's really interesting and awesome to see channels like Every Frame a Painting putting out videos with better production value/editing/content quality than what you'd get from most serious networks with millions in funding. And these are typically solo creators writing, narrating, producing, and editing everything themselves or with 1-2 others.


They posted this to their facebook:

The policy regarding wedding fines was put on our site as a tongue-in-cheek response to a wedding many years ago. It was meant to be taken down long ago and certainly was never enforced.

The commenters on the post do not believe this not surprisingly.


I believe the account is so that Overcast's servers can look for new episodes and push background updates so new episodes are there when you open it.


PocketCasts has the same feature without an account. The app can auto-generate a server account using the device's uuid.


Take it from someone who has gone down that path, it's a support nightmare, especially when you want to allow cross-device sync. Much easier to just require the account up-front.


It may be easier from the engineering perspective, but its a major turn off for the user. Building good user experiences is often harder than the engineering part.


Overcast has a web client, too. If Overcast used the UUID, it wouldn't be able to give you the web client side of things easily.


You can't get a device UUID anymore I don't think.

There is also a web view/player I think.


There is now `[UIDevice identifierForVendor]`.
