Loved the comment On the tweet from Rob ‘CmdrTaco’ Malda

With a PE ratio of 200. Oracles is less than 20.

So Oracle earns 10x more as I understand it....

I hope you don't use a smartphone. Or cellphone at all. Several technologies are patent encumbered and contain, in some of the chips, proprietary code. And it is a tech that provides the cellphone provider with telemetry as well.

I assume you are running a RYF approved PC or laptop.

Article implies Zoom servers are still in China, but as of April 28, they transitioned all US service to the Oracle US cloud.

Because you plug it into a thermocouple device that you poke inside the middle of your roast, which is a completely different temperature than the air in the grill. This is an addon Bluetooth thermometer Option for Weber grills - I have a Weber but didn’t get this option.

To quote Humphrey Bogart from ‘The African Queen’ — “you pays your money and you takes your chances.”

I did a buy to upgrade my home office - at my salary an 6 hour investment equals a great standing desk with motor. My employer chipped in a few hundred for a good wobble style chair.

I think Table II seems to show he has a Trust which own another 18million shares?

Best laugh I’ve had in a long time, thanks.

And if you fix it to use delete instead of free, you get "can't delete void *" errors. Perhaps not the best example code.

Just a note, Florian hasn't played with Kraftwerk since he left (retired?) in Nov 2008... so you wouldn't have seen him anyway. I sure hope that tour goes on once things return to normal!

A good book; I have the hardback.

Can we link to the ACM award site and its article instead of the NYT paywall?

It it a <pre> formatted section from an old usenet post with 80 char line length... often on usenet posts were specially formatted with whitespace chars. Usenet display tools almost always use PRE and preserve that using monospace fonts to preserve the full possibilities of the information transfer.

> > does it really gave to be a mac!!

> No.

To go further on this, I switched from mac to PC for my studio setup a couple years back as mac hardware seemed to increase in price too much in relation to PC. I had only bought software that was able to run on both because I want to maintain flexibility to switch at will; and switching my commercial VSTs, DAW (Ableton Suite), NI Reactor, etc to PC was seamless. All my saved sets came across fine.

Some Greek chanters got permission to go into the Hagia Sophia and record a TV special (for Greek TV) of chant music several years ago. While not a service, it is the music that would have been used at a service. (Either that, or this is another case of convolution reverb and some clever video editing. I'm not sure. But it sounds pretty cool.)

Convolution reverbs are pretty cool. For Ableton Live Suite users, Ableton has made available a MaxForLive device that lets you make your own impulse response files for use with their convolution reverb, I've used it.

My working definition is "Music is organized sound".

This is neither subjective nor egocentric.

While this includes many things that some would not consider music, it at least doesn't seem to exclude anything that humans at one time or another have called music, many of which I find enjoyable. (Japanoise, Power noise, etc).

Nothing on Disney+ from the extensive catalog they own of any movies rated over PG-13. (think 20th Century Fox and Touchstone pictures - Alien, Die Hard, Exorcist, Highlander, The Omen... and even of those that are PG, many also not available, like original Planet of the Apes series, etc.) I have a free 1-yr promo tie-in membership and it's ok, but I will not be continuing when it expires. If they had all those other films from the catalogs they own I would much more likely pay them.

The loss rate isn’t 40%. It says, of the not-mentioned actual loss rate, that 40% of that rate occurs at the farm and distributors.

In the US, incomes between $9,701 to $39,475 are taxed at 12%, so the tax on 15,080 is actually $1,810 or 40% less than your estimate... at 63,179 the tax rate is 22% which is $13,899 - only a little higher than your estimate.

At $200K, the tax rate is 32%, so the tax is really $64K, 160% of your estimate. (all for single filers or married filing separately; married filing jointly has wider bands, and the rates are less overall at the given combined income levels)

Max/MSP is used professionally by Autechre for many albums now as well as live on stage.

I’ve written several devices and never had any problems yet. I’m using a bog standard laptop from 18 months ago.

I also Reactor and ChucK and JUCE directly.

Nice rant tho.

If you have 3rdparty professional-grade plugins from NI (Massive, FM8), Xferrecords (Serum), Fabfilter (some of their amazing data vis use win/mac native graphics libraries), Arturia, etc, then you still aren't going to be able to use Linux as they don't build plugins for that platform.

That's fair, I missed that sub-detail.

So it says the 'threats per endpoint' on mac has gone way up. It says 50,000,000 Windows endpoints are compromised.

It fails to mention the number of mac endpoints compromised.

I suspect is is actually not a huge number because of its omission...

Therefore, from the missing numbers of infected mac endpoints, I'll have to surmise that all they've learned is a compromised mac tends to become more and more compromised...

Until there is an EMP that blows away all those stored electrons - and backups. Books looks a lot better after that.

I guess after clicking on "Your Library" he isn't switching to the "Artists" or "Albums" tabs. Then again, I don't know what it looks like when you're not a subscriber. The Spotify app doesn't "see" your music in your iTunes library, perhaps that is the complaint?

Just leave the overpriced Bay Area.

Apple released the airport express with an audio out and did synchronization with audio playing from the computer audio outs a full year(2004) before Sonos's first product hit the market (2005).

Apple Airport Express, which contains an audio out (which I hook to my stereo to synch playing music in multiple parts of the house) and does synchronized streaming, made it to the market one year (2004) before Sonos's first product did (2005). Apple later remove the WiFi extender and added a speaker and renamed the product appropriately, but it is and evolution of the same pre-Sonos technology and probably is why they aren't trying to sue Apple.
