> I can tell by your post that you never did any sort of meaningful repair on a car. Or their house. Especially with blanket statements that prohibit "working on" your own home.

I blame deadlines for most of the shortcuts taken, not necessarily "taking someone else's code".

Aside from Roland technology, Graph Tech makes the Ghost system which - depending on the model - can provide MIDI or acoustic piezo individual pickups embedded in the guitar saddle. Godin does a lot with Ghost saddles for their MIDI guitars

I've deleted my Facebook and Instagram apps from my phone since last Tuesday. Much happier. I like the potentiality of being able to log into it with the Browser, but giving myself just enough resistance to not go through with it. I fe

English grammar is pretty crazy. Does this happen in other languages, too? As often?

Or folks will be so in-tune with their connected ways that a service which "allows" you to disappear is more apparent than just throwing your phone off a bridge.

Just an example. Nothing more simple than flesh and strings. That's what it's all about, really.

It sure does have its convenience going for it. But like the hipster with their vinyl; I still yearn for that electric glow of vacuum tubes. It doesn't make sense - it doesn't have to - the tactility of it all is an experience in

This is why I have no intention of programming anymore after this point. Maybe I'll enjoy the next thing. Maybe.

Awesome stuff. With the obligatory "don't kill yourself doing something you shouldn't". (Slightly off topic) It's funny how affordable solar seems when you remove the marketing and installation cost from it. Scale w

There's a reason I still play 60-year-old guitars through tube amps and other ratty old gear. It's kinda my escape from 1's and 0's. Sometimes I'm convinced we dove too fast into this whole digital everything, thing

I think you're right. But I don't think casual consumers want that. I can't wait to explain to my 4 year old that Disney movies aren't on Netflix now. I think what went wrong with music was the initial value set, and the

It's always a gamble, but I feel like your appliances probably fall in the threshold of manufacturers giving a damn about longevity. Our 32-year-old home, with original washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge, and oven were only recently

Speedtrap officers don't have to pull you over for just speeding. A law that could target poor people is driving with expired tags. There are people who do this for reasons other than "just not getting around to it".

See previous reply, but I get the cheeky comment.

The only thing I meant by that was the relatively small revenue created for the performing musician when paid out by stream, vs when paid out by royalties of album sales. But when the people don't want albums, what do we expect? Today,

I'm pretty sure our infatuation with service-model pricing will ruin us all. It's already ruined music for the majority of musicians.

For a while, a membership card number would have sufficed, but since no one carries that around, the retailers are assigning your phone number to your identity. Much like social security numbers did for the government back in its inception.

I'm not sure you'd understand. The first time you realize your mortality, it can really throw perspective at you. Much more of a slap in the face than whatever hottest trending framework happens to be on Front Page HN.

You're probably just confusing the poor sap trying to get a hold of you about your lab test results. Might want to make sure they haven't hung up thinking wrong number.
