To me, a deal around hardware is not a red flag when growth requires additional hardware. The circular investments that would worry me are when the investment returns as advertising spend and other costs that don’t improve the product. Rece

I appreciate the idea. But I would advise any and every student against risking their academic work product on a small webservice because the long term economic viability of such services tends to be low. So the risk of all a student's

Making a new account is the simplest thing that might work. Not the least aggravating. Not the most just. Just the simplest. Good luck.

But the main reason to do this is to be a good human being. And the kind of person people want to work with.

Asking for money is a good way to measure interest in an idea. Asking for opinions is a good way to get arbitrary noise and avoid rejection. In terms of the specifics, interviewing engineers in person is the only way to understand what you

I don’t think it is good/bad. More, what is better for this specific project at this point in time given the objectives…it’s just an engineering judgement. WXwidgits got Audacity through twenty odd years of intense development and help

It cuts to the core of what we actually want from free software Mostly people want free as in beer and actual users of Audacity use Audacity because they want to process audio. it does make me slightly uncomfortable Then you have a choi

The claim of Russian involvement was a link to HN comments on a link to a Reddit thread.

Like I said for many people, it is a benefit not a detriment. Add in all the people who just don’t care and there is only a relative handful of people who are bothered. Now filter out the people who don’t use the software from that relative

Sure and I agree. However Reddit is sometimes a source of sensational misunderstanding, fear, uncertainty, doubt and misinformation.

I think Musehub.com is a sister project within Muse Group that helps mitigate the cost of paying professional developers to work on Audacity and MuseScore. In the case of Muse Score it also provides a marketplace for third parties. I don’t

I would guess accessibility will be similar to the current version of MuseScore since the same company (Muse Group) is leading both open source projects. So maybe look at MuseScore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_

Since hammers and nails are a common tool-workpiece example…consider the nail gun. Theoretically you can drive nails with a 22 caliber blank cartridge without making the “call” through a nail gun. But you won’t finish laying shingles as qui

Home owner’s insurance does not cover flood. As I said elsewhere, twenty years ago the rule of thumb was private flood insurance ran 10% of insured value per year. That’s why the Federal Flood Insurance Program was created in the Nixon admi

Without flood insurance banks won’t write mortgages and home ownership has been a Federal policy objective since at least the 19th century, e.g. the homestead act. To be clear, banks once wrote mortgages without flood insurance and that’s h

My understanding and experience is that Latex has a significant learning curve and Pandoc provides a more gentle front end. Of course Latex gives you fine control to hand tune the engine…but that doesn’t seem like what the OP is looking for
