You can't cast and stream some of these services just like that though can you? They won't let you. I don't understand how djovocoikvc gets away with becoming goat through a decade of cheating but can't manage to get himself into Australia one time. Lol

Does anyone know anything about licensing artwork for commercial use? A relative who is an artist has been asked by a company to quote to do some artwork that they want to use in many different ways (she doesn't know exactly what yet) and she asked me to suggest what she should charge. She reckons it will take her about 15 days to produce the artwork. I said £7500 plus licensing fees. Everyone else is telling her less (£200-£400 a day for example) and she thinks that even that is cheeky and the company will think she is greedy. I said the company will think she is a complete numpty if she charges less. This particular company bought some art off her a few years ago and it has even been seen on the tv in a news item about them (not about the art but it was there with her name on it quite prominently in the background). Normally she just does artwork for private individuals or small organisations such as churches so no experience in this larger realm!

Let me begin by saying I have no idea. I suppose it matters on what the nature of the commercial use is? Are they in competition with other artists for the work?

I didn't know that Djokovic was that mediocre in the past, my interest in tennis comes and goes and I just remember him bursting onto the scene and doing like you said, grinding everyone down That's because it never happened. He was a highly regarded junior player who reached the final of the Junior Davis Cup, was beating top 32 players in five set matches when he was 16, and improved constantly and steadily until he began winning Slams in 2008. In his late teens Tennis GB were courting him to switch nation so they wouldn't have to rely solely on Andy Murray. He's a twat who deserves contempt, but he's never been mediocre.

serious gaylord posted:Djokovic was an average player who couldn't last in 5 set tournaments as he just didn't have the fitness and strength. Would regularly quit mid match 'injured' to avoid the stigma of losing and was just generally one of the most unpleasant players on the tour. Then he just explodes back onto the scene and grinds literally every player into the dust. Running players he couldn't so much as get a set off the previous season into the floor in 5 set marathons. There is a terrific blog on tennis doping here - https://tennishasadopingproblemblog.wordpress.com/ Sadly a lot of very big stars are likely dopers. From memory I think both Nadal and FedEx have blood caught up in the eternal legal process around the doctor that doped Lance Armstrong. Murray is thankfully one of the least suspect out of the top men but who knows. Edit: that blog is very in the detail now but have a look at the archive for the best articles on the broad strokes.

I said the company will think she is a complete numpty if she charges less. Firstly, if a company thinks you are being too greedy, you don't want to do work for them anyway if you can afford to walk away. It's just not worth it. Secondly, this seems to surprise a lot of people but in the corporate world it's usually the opposite - if you're a consultant and you're asked to quote for some work and come back way lower than they were expecting, they assume you're cheap because you're not very good. Thirdly, whether or not your relative can justify the cost is irrelevant anyway. What matters is how much the work is worth to that company. I can only offer more tech examples because that's what I do, but suppose a company asks me to fix a problem that currently costs them £1m every day that it's broken. I know I can fix it in 5 minutes. If I ask for £100k to do the work in one day, are they going to refuse because it's greedy to expect £100k for one day's work? No, they're going to snap my hand off because they instantly save vastly more. Even if they know it's only going to take me 5 minutes. From a negotiation standpoint, it's much better to let the other side offer a number first anyway. Though in this case the company maybe doesn't have a clear idea themselves either.

Jippa posted:All across elite sport people are juicing and have been for decades. It's definitely one of the biggest things that I only found out about in later life. Then when you look back it makes sense. Sadly I think there is a lot of truth in that. Half the Spanish world cup winning team also has blood caught up on eternal legals but it seems a particular problem in stamina based sports. Wiggins and Froome both came up at a time the entire pelaton doped, and that's ignoring Sky/Ineos/Team GB's more recent shenanigans. Don't get me started on Nibali etc. For anyone interested in doping and a bit of drama I seriously recommend watching Icarus on Netflix. The premise of the documentary is a lad tries to dope to win an epic amateur cycling event but it all takes a seriously unexpected turn

I think because streaming services provide a lot of conveniences that doing it all manually each night doesn't. It's a pain in the arse to do it every time you fancy watching something, or remembering to grab a new episode each week when it airs. Put in the work though and a good media setup with plex/emby/jellyfin with radarr/sonarr to source the content is such a good system that I don't miss streaming at all. I even have a few family who stream content from my media server when they want stuff that the 1/2 streaming services they have don't offer it.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Does anyone know anything about licensing artwork for commercial use? I saw a good blog once for calculating how much you should charge for art. It boils down to - imagine you are doing this full-time. How much would you need to live the life you want to live? Yearly? Work out what that boils down to hourly. Then charge a hefty whack on top of that because you also pay for supplies, and also for all the art you did BEFORE this, that wasn't sold, that is the reason you can do this art now. And that's just for selling to private customers. To a company? Rinse em. Meanwhile work is really busy and I'm sick to the back teeth of The General Public. I'm doing my best for these loving people. gently caress.

I guess it’s a case of different strokes and how fast your internet is. It takes me a minute or so to set a download going and I’m getting about 6MB/s so I really don’t mind. Plex does sound nice like - might think about it when I get settled somewhere for a while.

Media servers are handy if you want to watch the same stuff on different devices - I can stream episodes of The Chinese Detective[1][2] to the telly in my front room, the one in the kitchen, or even my tablet for bog viewing pleasure (I don't do that last one - that's my posting time - but the option's there if I want it). For me at least it also forces me into properly sorting and storing stuff, and also, through my normal means of shonky python scripts, supplies me with an everlasting source of just background-noise random selections from all the stuff I've downloaded. [1] Which is not available on any streaming service or in-print DVD, along with a lot of the best telly of the 80s, because of stupid loving licensing deals signed when Thames were imploding in the naughties. (How did an ITV company get the rights for a BBC series? Because of stupid loving licensing deals signed in the naughties). Anyway that's the only thing I pirate, certainly not anything I could pay Amazon/Netflix/Disney/whosever for, nosiree. [2] Those of you not beholden to the streaming services, look it up. It's written by the guy who wrote The Sweeney but couldn't be more different (well apart from being a cop show filmed in the East End). David Yip plays a sort of nerdier (and Chinesier) version of Columbo, just annoying criminals into confessing, and it has some funny bits, but it's also got a lot to say about the struggle of being a second-generation immigrant, police corruption and graft, and of course the incredible racism of the era. Of less appeal to those not from the area it's an *amazing* time capsule too. Despite only being 30 years old the vast majority of locations are completely impossible to recognise nowadays, and in some cases the buildings involved not only being replaced by newer, shinier things but the things that replaced them being replaced too.

Carefully picking out what shows you want to watch on which platforms & switching platforms regularly sure sounds like a lot of work to still only watch mostly shite & not be able to share the experience of chatting about the new stuff with your friends For the record, I actually do have both Netflix & Prime (well, my girlfriend does, which means I do), I just use Plex cuz it's easier, so it's beyond me why people who know how to torrent would pay for the privilege of having to do more work to get less e: oh, there was another page

If everyone us is using the same stuff, then people will decide to kick into harder and harder stuff. It becomes an arms race, and it ends up with people taking Gamma infused venom where they cut their life spans to ten years, but they get the gains.

If it were just individuals saying "yeah I want to run a 5 second 100m just once even though my legs will explode" that'd be different from the reality that there's a ceding of autonomy to the school/team/club/country that happens at those levels.

Re: the Anarchist Cookbook, it's available on UK Amazon in kindle, hardback and paperback forms. That's what I don't get about this book being used to send people to prison for terrorism offences. I'm reminded about a 'terrorist cell' that was raided in Plymouth 10+ years ago. It was heavily reported about in the media, and iirc they were someone in their early 20's, an 18 year old, and two 16 year olds. Police confiscated terrorist propaganda, terrorist training manuals, weapons - including an AK47, knives and explosives. The four 'terrorists' were held in police custody for up to a month under the new anti terrorism laws, and the bomb disposal trucks were at the property for days as were forensic police. The terrorist propaganda and training manuals were in fact mostly political text books for one of the guy's politics degree. There were also political manifestos as well as a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook bought from the local Waterstones. The weapons were a couple of BB guns, and the AK47 was a replica that was screwed to the wall as a work of art. It wasn't even capable of firing caps. And the explosives? They were legally purchased fireworks for bonfire night. Oh, and the knives were literally the knives from the kitchen drawer. They were eventually released without charge with the eldest staying in police custody for nearly the full 28 days iirc, though their release and innocence wasn't reported about heavily in the press. They were targeted because they were vocal anarchists, and the police and government wanted to send a message to appease the public. The psychological effects for the two 16 year olds were huge... fuctifino fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Jan 6, 2022 |

I think the first thing we did when my high school finally upgraded from Windows 3.11 to Windows NT (or was it Windows 2000? I forget, could even have been 98 for all I remember) & thus we had internet access was accidentally stumble upon the Anarchist Cookbook & print it out. Mostly I remember a lot of stuff about Phone Phreaking which sounded incredibly cool but was already out of date.
