The cymbal was picked by Atushi Hoshiai. Here is a short video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXsMvTSCkuY I think part of the reason the hihat sounds so special/unusual is due to the fact that the sample was

The technique is very interesting. Would it be enough for websites like youtube to add a small, random amount of unnecessary data every time a resource gets accessed to prevent such analyses?

Probably quite a lot. I am subscribed to the Quartz newsletter and they often have a paragraph which is headed "Sponsor content by The Government of Japan" which I always find slightly amusing.

That's what I arrived at as well. However, sometimes it's good to make a new plan after a while and then discard that one as well and so one. One could call it "iterative creation of intention".

Sometimes I do wonder whether there are areas in politics where decisions made by random number generators could lead to better outcomes. Obviously, they can't make informed decisions. However, they don't get swayed by all those

That's an optimistic take on it. I could imagine that there will be companies who score the personality development of a person for HR departments.

"Responsibility" may be too strong a word but I guess it is fair to say that technically they've played a role in many cases. And because of that it rubs me the wrong way when they say they are in a unique position to "h

No doubt. I just find Mr. Zuckerberg's wording a bit odd. Clearly they fear that someone might blame them someday if they fail to take action. Instead of saying "Look, we have a problem and we're working on it" he goes &

That's a reasonable objection. I still think that whether or not positive change happens is regardless of whether or not there is a vision highly dependent on happy accidents (including change in external circumstances).

I should have said that the idea of him suggesting topdown planing didn't come to me after watching the film but after hearing an interview he gave concerning the film. In the following clip, at around ~0:25, he briefly talks about ha

From my experience as a programmer and a musician I find it odd that Curtis advocates the need for a big vision to bring about real change. In other words, he urges people to do top down planning. My impression is that working bottom-up is
