I've also been going in 4 days a week since we signed our office lease a few months ago, I really like it. We still do full remote (since day 1, back in 2018!) but I find that the office really helps with communication, especially amon

Yep -- my favorite version of this is in the Ensoniq ESQ-1. 1980s box that helped pioneer the use of digital readouts in synths. Digital readouts eventually became terrible in synths because of "menu diving" (look into the Yamaha

You're welcome! And yeah, City Pop is really annoying to collect. I used to go to BOOKOFF in Manhattan where they had a huge selection of $2 Japanese CDs, but they totally removed that section several years ago. Almost impossible to fi

Agree with all of the above recommendations, and want to add Aeon Bookstore as a relative newcomer that has a great selection.

Biggest one was country. Lots of impossible to find stuff from the 50s thru the 70s. I'd learn about it by digging at the record shop near where I went to college. There's not much of an audience for it anymore, so the labels have

No, because it's vinyl vs vinyl, and it's nearly impossible to control for other factors affecting playback.

Don't worry, its legacy lives on. Other sites have taken up the mantle (hmu). OiNK is gone, but not forgotten.

Afaict the cool thing about MoFi pressings (at least, ones from back in the day) is they were done at half speed. So, when the lacquer is cut from the master tape, they'd do it at half playback speed rather than full playback speed, wh

^ yeah exactly. Also, you really do need a pretty good sound system to hear it. I was with the poster above you for a long time, but then I did blind A/B testing on my buddy's $10k monitors, and the difference was clear. I wouldn&

by Nav_Panel 4y ago
Yep. This is why I like buying original 80s CDs where they just chucked the master tape onto a digital disk, rather than post-2000 reissues where they slap a limiter on the master and jack it up +8 dB.

Yeah, absolutely. I learned to code in middle school in TI Basic during math class (much to my math teacher's dismay), writing little platformer games as a snarl of GOTOs and pixel on-off (because the more robust drawing functions were

The potential is way beyond just "proof of membership", but that's the only tool that's currently out there and in active usage, as far as I know. When I say coordination, I mean all sorts of collective decision-making a

To address the latter case first: what you gain is standardization and interoperability, where the crypto toolbox acts as a protocol . Even if you're doing KYC in a centralized way, you can plug your token/DAO into any tool that

One of the cool parts of crypto is that it enables new forms of social coordination that take place entirely within an online context. We haven't even scratched the surface of what could be possible with DAOs; the UIs and educational m

Same with greenbacks tho EDIT: let me elaborate before you downvote: the value of a US dollar is not "intrinsic", it's the result of the strength of the US government and military, i.e. due to social factors that cause it to

Yep, exactly. I've been working in crypto for 4 years and counting, still haven't purchased a single token as an investment. I don't like downside risk, I like to build product. We've weathered one bear market, we'l

Dating apps are a way to gain insight into how UX manipulates desire + how applications produce behavioral statistics which we then clumsily project into iron laws of psychology.
