There is a very active secondary market for sneakers. If you can buy before supply is exhausted, you can make some decent money.

Theory is very systematic if you start with listening, but will seem haphazard if you start with the physics.

You've never heard of this because it's not true. A note wants to resolve up or down based on it's relative distance from tonic. This had nothing to do with what it's named, the most important part of naming notes is not

> taking one example, F# "wants" to step up to G, whereas Gb "wants" to step down to F. Uhhh....no? A flat or sharp can be the tonic, which does not lead to any other note. A note is named flat or sharp to maintain p

Music theory is really a domain specific language. Like all languages (not programming), the only way to really learn is to converse with others. I don't think you can learn theory alone, it only makes sense when you talk about music u

1) Talk to a lawyer. Details are going to vary wide depending on where you are and the documentation that exists. 2) Your work has value, quite possibly more value than the capital put in by Jim. 3) If you own 40%, Jim has to buy your 40%.

Whether or not the price falls within your expected range. Prices can rise faster than someone's perception of the price range, so the conclusion is that the asset is "overvalued". In other words, "overvalued" is a

Thompson's point here isn't about the content itself, but rather the supply chain for the content. Because the internet effectively provides 'infinite' distribution, the traditional models of controlling distribution are

Okay, let's use another example. I waited tables in high school. I was very bad. I knew I was bad, but I worked hard to improve. Still, even after a few years of experience a random person who had never had a job before could walk in a

No, I am not a professional basketball player. I can't even compete in a neighborhood pickup game. That is the point; I lack the raw material to be a professional athlete. It's very possible to be bad at something AND know that yo

I'm really bad at basketball. I have to insight to realize this, and I tried to get better. I really cared about getting better. But at the end of the day, I am not athletic. Sure, I can devote time and energy to improving my basketbal

Such bold conclusions from 900 words and a single perspective. Isn't it possible that the author is, in fact, not good at the job?

Paying people to not contribute to GDP will result in decreased GDP. Lower GDP means less income to be distributed. UBI is not the first time someone has proposed that a central authority should determine the income of the general populatio

Looks good, I think there is a great foundation. The Pentatonic Scale feels out of place; but that's probably because I feel that pentatonic is just a mutation of other modes. Chords are really just stacked intervals, it might make sen

Yes, equal temperament is basically a compromise of tuning methods. While it can help ensure that a piece which modulates into different keys is in tune (as close as possible), equal temperament cannot tell the key that is being played.

I can see the G major argument. That would be a I/3 into IV. My professor would have said that answer is wrong due to voice leading, the 7 to 1 is very powerful. And the last chord is C, in root, meaning that's where you have reso

I'm not sure this applies here. Equal temperament explains how an interval is in tune and does not determine what key a song is in.

by abannin 10y ago
This gets pretty complicated and subjective. Strictly speaking, a "note" cannot define a key. To determine a key, you really need at least 2 intervals, wherein interval a somehow resolves to interval b. Keys are just a mapping of

I suspect the issue is one of two scenarios: 1) CEO has low bandwidth, hands off a nice-to-have-but-not-critical feature. They don't have to invest much time; if it works, awesome, if not, no problem. If you don't complete the fea

Congrats, you are getting a first hand perspective of a startup; there are no syllabi just a vague sense of which direction to walk. What you describe as "lack of guidance" can also be described as "hands off delegation"
