Sampling didn't replace originality. Look at the samples used by Daft Punk on their Interstellar 5555 album. Plenty of originality there.

Google has actually released Magenta [0] which is a plugin within Ableton that can do just that. It's pretty cool, it generates interesting melodic content at the click of a button. [0] https://magenta.tensorflow.org/s

And see - that's my issue. The fact that real people will still be fucked and unable to pay real medical costs associated with 3M's actions, yet the company and its shareholders can just say "oh, no more money, sorry" a

I'm not saying nationalized companies are great. I'm saying that if a company engages in such deceptive practices with materials that they know are toxic, and they fail to disclose that to the relevant parties (the government, an

Exactly. They should be nationalized. If they are the only producer of a number of strategically important materials, nationalization needs to happen. The private markets are great, but cannot be trusted to clean up after their own mess -

Not surprising. The Party doesn't have control over AirDrop. In their opinion, AirDrop can be used to secretly disseminate information critical of The Party. Remember, National Security in China doesn't mean the national security

Except those regulators and those who interpret laws are essentially doing so at the public's behest, as they are elected officials, or at the very least, appointed by elected officials. Those elected officials have 100 billion rea$on$

I'm not sure exactly how much Apple subsidized the original iPhone, but if they want adoption and want people actually using this thing, they'd better use the same strategy. Apple heavily subsidized the original iPhone, and we all

Yes, but the whole thing about "(insert deity of your choice here) made man in his own image" that seems to be quite prevalent throughout most major religions gets debunked almost immediately if there's some bipedal creature

My theory is that we are not alone - at some point throughout the existence of the universe, there has been, is, or will be some form of life on another planet - close to ours or far away from outs. There probably is some new physics that w

Neat. I won't buy one any time soon, but it looks cool and knowing Apple, they will iterate like hell on this platform over the years and hopefully the price will eventually come down to a more reasonable point like $2k-2.5k. In 3-5 y

Ronaldo is the best human to ever play football. Messi isn't human. Messi is the best I've ever seen, hands down. He and Ronaldo were both the complete foward, but in different senses. Ronaldo could shoot with incredible power

It's important to have an experienced tripper with you so that when you have a solution, someone can write it down if you're unable to. Or a voice reorder, or some way of capturing your insight. Has worked every time for me.

Somewhat. If the options are long-dated, I don't see why they wouldn't be? If Pelosi has calls or puts that are dated a year from now, might make sense to follow the trade if it's a well known company that does business wit

Early critic of Donald Trump means nothing - Lindsey Graham was too, but has resorted to kissing Trump's ass for the last 7 years. You could say the same for Mitt Romney - an early critic who spoke against candidate Trump, but voted f
