One other aspect of this is modern production regarding mixing and mastering. Music is pushed so far to the edge that drums are basically cut off at the high end and the whole thing sounds mushy.

My wife, who knows nothing about any of this beyond enjoying music, asked me one evening while we were listening to "Fat Bottomed Girls" why the drums sound so good compared to other music that we listen to. It's noticeable.

And, yet, you also use their products daily but want to have no personal responsibility for that.

Scalpers price out the poor.

What's your point?

That's effectively what happened in this case. The only difference is that the scalpers made the extra money, not Taylor Swift.

If that's your standard for those emails with confidentiality statements (they are not disclaimers), you already have a problem because your device and maybe email provider already read them to determine if they are spam. Also, unless the email body has been encrypted, they've been sat in SMTP server queues in plain text where nefarious people could read them.

Those "disclaimers" aren't really worth anything.

We have "free college" in Tennessee and I believe in Kentucky as well. Most kids still opt for the "big university" experience, but you can become a nurse or teacher in Tennessee without having to pay anything.

They'd have much ore data if it hadn't gone bang.

At some point you really do have to acknowledge that Starship is currently failing. Yes, they'll probably turn it round unless they run out of money, but they re years late.

If they cared about "high-quality" they would have ditched Yelp years ago.

And Tesla has a monopoly on the model 3, X, Y, S and Cybertruck.

In fact: surprise! Lots of companies have monopolies on the products they manufacture and sell.

Slaughterhouse

In his younger days, he tied his "philanthropic" giving to other countries to their use of Microsoft products.

I'm 56, and I'm really one of those freaks who just doesn't age. No gray hair, in great shape, finally noticing that my hands have a couple of wrinkles. But there are people my age who could pass for my grandparents, the last of whom died in 1994.

Microkernels are a great idea, but they need better hardware support (literally different architectural decisions) to work optimally. They can be made to work on modern CPUs, but they're never going to be great there. This presents a chicken/egg problem because nobody is going to invest a billion dollars making a new kind of CPU for an OS that doesn't yet exist.

To be fair, people in the gig economy don't tend to be good with math.

The trouble is that such a cable, if AC, will act as a capacitor if very long. Pretty soon, the energy required to discharge and charge the capacitor exceeds the energy transmitted.
