So I totally disagree with your arguments on nearly all points, but the fact that no companies prioritize security of data means that this footage WILL get released at some point, which in my opinion overrides ever single argument you made.

Informed society is getting tired of unethical finance bro technocrats buying political influence and power with ill-gotten gains.

I only like splitting perfectly seasoned wood ( I do about a face cord every summer/fall). Otherwise it’s just too much work. Got any tips in to tooling? I use a maul.

Yep, never studied physics. Do know the difference between a sine wave and a square wave, though.

We can debate whether people can hear the difference, and mastering has as much (or more) to do with it, but I will take an AAA or AAD over an ADD all day.

I skimmed the article but the parallel did not seem obvious to me. I play 'string' instruments (bass guitar, guitar, open tuned resonators) but I guess my approach is fairly standard - I read music but don't site read real-time very well. But When I "think" about music it's the same way most western musicians think about music (I assume) and that's diatonically in relation to the major scale as a reference point.

I think this is smart. I have never done ear training apps because I just don't like to learn music that way - it doesn't "stick" for me.

I like to learn in the context of a song. Here's what a melody sounds like when you start it over the 1 of a chord. Here's a melody when you start it on the 3 over a chord. But, again, in the context of a known song.

I just don't think "non-musical" exercises have ever moved me forward as a musician, if that makes sense.

I'm guessing you're not a musician or studio worker, or I wasn't clear.

If I am using an analog device (in my case tube amplifier) I want to listen to something that was mastered on analog equipment. If it's square wave pressed on to vinyl you might as well stream.

And you can buy replacement ear pads - breathing new life in to $150 Sony Studio Monitor phones I bought 30 years ago...

I've been avoidant of most modern vinyl, I don't want to get a vinyl pressing of something that was digitally remastered. What's the point?

I just found the transition extremely abrupt and a bit jarring.

It might be a salient point but I didn't read it as it was yelling at me.

Agreed, unless you specifically know how a regulator will interpret a broad requirement on a edge case it’s a lot of effort to even figure out what the plan is, much less implement it.

I found the second part of Seven Eves to be a surreal experience. I think I might have stopped reading Stephenson after that.

You didn’t read the article. This tax is for 2 years then as assessments are fixed it changes calculation.

"Yes this is why the higher level org functions are in love with AI. "

Interesting, I thought it was because so few of them have any idea how their organizations actually function, because so much of their work is performative.

(I have been a developer, sysadmin, director (x2), and president).

Strong sentiment against the US (government) in the US as well.

I live in a purple state (also a Canadian citizen but that's beside the point).

Article kind of lost me at "It can no longer argue that costs aren’t falling; they are."
