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 communism"

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 exposures might adjust your palette or it just mi

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 could not love Kokoroko.

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 Sundays watching enormous men try to kill each other in American

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 lute music.

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 with the classical masters is we speak as if we love all their

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/wonderful and then one mind boggling deal breaker that do

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 that it can't write bad words. Both sides in this to

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 me though if I can really get into the book or not.

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 with that.

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 stability and the known quantity they have over the unknown opportu

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 intelligence agency set on eliminating that person

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 forces in separation. There is a unification with the air 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 deader than dead. This is just a normal job market now. Y

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 strategy at my old job was to keep giving more work until th

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 per capita in India in 1990 was $360 A YEAR. Then you get pe

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 clean with a fresh install in less than 15 minutes. I don&#x

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 of things but still complain. Would it have been better to b

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 over lol.

Even if they were in the ball park intelligence wise, humans are absolutely ruthless animals. Personally, I don't think there is all that much mystery what happened. Animals seem to have this habit of vanishing when humans move in.

I remember watching streaming video on the real player on a 56k modem. It was a complete joke but you could envision things getting much better. Is it fair to say TV broadcasters/production professionals were in danger of losing their

It will also be no problem making a video look like it was shot on a camcorder in 1996. That is what still blows my mind about Midjourney images. Not just that it can do photo realism but photo realism as if it was shot on a specific type o

I totally understand what you mean by growing up on a different internet. The mistake I made as a kid was in believing people wanted things like intellectual freedom and to contemplate things they don't agree as to potentially grow and

The poster child of survivorship bias. They didn't just sell books and CDs either. They sold tax free books and CDs. It is easy to forget now that no one paid tax for anything sold online in 1999. Of course, no one brags about how they

The real problem is that "bubble" is a poorly defined word. We shouldn't use the same word to describe the tulip bubble and the dot com bubble. The tulip bubble to me is what we really think of as a bubble. A collective mania

It is a toss up what is more shocking between this and one of those "Giant pet alligator kills owner" type stories.
