Lol of course you get downvoted by a bunch of well off software engineers. So many here are so fucking full of shit. "I make 150k a year man, its not fair man, we need more communi…

I would try Jazzmeia Horn on vocals. She is an absolute monster. Mark Guiliana on drums is as good as anyone ever too.

If you don't like So What without an explanation then I just don't think it is for you. I love lamb vindaloo too but if you take a bite and don't like it..maybe a few repeated expo…

I am huge fan of Sheila Maurice-Grey and Kokoroko. She plays super chill like Miles too. I would put Cassie Kinoshi on sax as my fav sax player too. I don't know how any Jazz fan c…

America has a warrior culture even though we pretend to not be. Even though there are few times in our history we were not involved in a war. A huge % of the population spends Sund…

You could look into the actual baroque guitar too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_guitar For modern guitar, there are many transcriptions of Bach and Silvius Leopold Weiss l…

The problem with Bach is the 1100 pieces he has. It took me so long to hear things I really loved. For me, it is his lute music that really shows his genius. Part of the problem wi…

It is really outrageous looking at the price of 2 X 8 gig sticks right now. It is exactly why I haven't bought anything from Apple since the ipod. Everything sounds amazing/wonderf…

I don't disagree but on the other hand, I never run into problems with the language model being censored because I am not asking it to write bad words just so I can post online tha…

Totally agree. Audiobooks for me are for long car rides or my daily walks. Going for a walk with an audiobook is prime thinking time for me. So much depends on the voice actor for …

It is because your view of inequality is bullshit. Your views are exactly in line with Khmer Rogue. Cambodia in 1977 was a much more equal society than America in 2024. Can't argue…

There is no mystery here. It is expensive to bring someone new on and train them. There is an arbitrage too by the company that once most people are comfortable, they chose stabili…

Even if you do this, a state backed intelligence agency is going to eventually find you if they keep trying. The idea "the west" can protect any single person from a state backed i…

The biggest reason is because it is a recent ambition. The US Navy on the other hand had to fight the Philippine-American War in 1899. There is also no point in talking about force…

It isn't that bad. Look at the Nasdaq after the dotcom bust: 2000 -36.84% 2001 -32.65% 2002 -37.58% If you think now is bad imagine trying to get a job in 2002 in tech. Tech was de…

I use to be in this situation but found a much better job. My hard work is actually appreciated now even though it is not as much work as my previous job. Pretty sure the business …

It is because the world got that much wealthier. When you get wealthy you start eating like a king and not a starving peasant. GDP per capita in China in 1990 was $320 A YEAR. GDP …

For me this has become a feature. I am forced to save things instead of all the times in the past that I have lost important data. If my system blows up right now, I will be wiped …

I am pretty sure it is just a hold over. The NYSE use to be closed on Wednesdays in the 1960s to catch up on paperwork. Hang Seng still even takes a lunch break.

As opposed to when in the past? This linen of thought is just so lacking gratitude for the time and place you were actually born. You basically won the lottery in the grand scheme …

This is seriously might be the worst post I have ever read online. To say it is clueless would be too nice.

"mathematically perfect alien star system" is a pretty good clickbait example. I mean I guess it could be worse "We found a mathematically perfect alien star system, and then..."

Yea all creative people are the same. No creative person would ever be interested in new mediums of expression. The truly creative are just looking to do the same things over and o…
