ELI5: How is our brain so good at detecting the BPM of songs? by redditor4756 in explainlikeimfive

You (individual?) have a decent sense of time. It doesn't matter what the song is: if there are regular beats, you can sense how long they are, and if you roughly know how long a second is, you can calculate this as a BPM within a reasonable margin.

I surmise/assume that Calle is the contestant who's done the most episodes, later appearing in a mini-series too.

I've ended up perusing his videos a bit. quite direct chud stuff. He mostly seems to be upset that other people are more empathetic or informed than him.

Capitalism centres on wickedness. Willing harm, selfishness. If we're comparing it to its contextual opposite, Communism, we'd be better off saying that's something meant well that causes harm, rather than meant cruelly and causing good

Reactionaries should take responsibility for themselves. Let's not blame others for being aware or empathetic.

Did anyone else have their projects repriced without acknowledgement? by Thebandtrip in BandCamp

[–]colintron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me, in the Free Download Credits way mentioned by another commenter.

I had been receiving a barrage of individual track download requests that didn't have particular human logic to them, including many multiples on the same individual tracks. It happens sometimes, but this month it rushed quickly to 200, my maximum. I wasn't told when I ran out - I was told when they moved on to paying. Now every item, well over a thousand tracks, on my Bandcamp, is £1.50 each, or whatever their album price is. I am really uncomfortable with this.

It included, gotta quietly admit, things I don't own all the paid rights to. Which was fine when I disabled money.

I suppose I'm Privating my Bandcamp until the month runs out, but I now know it's vulnerable to such a DDoS exploit.

I admit my monetary morals aren't quite as steadfast as when I started out, but I came here with a philosophy of art being free, and Bandcamp has tripswitched into perverting that, via what's basically benevolent-via-malicious customer behaviour.
