People still pay thousands of dollars for wedding photographers even though everyone at the wedding also has a camera and many are taking their own pictures. I am not a software engineer and it seems to me if someone has experience as a sof

At some point it becomes like someone playing a nice song on piano and then someone countering with "that is great but play a song you don't know!". Then they start improvising and the same person counters with "what a b

There is also an aspect of thinking no one will go to restaurants when anyone can make the same food at home.

It is one thing to receive the message but a much different thing to act on the message. From going to the gym for decades now, I don't see older people acting on this at all. A big problem is the CNS takes so much longer to recover as

As part of the irrational mob that is out to find the witch, you are just being too rational. Down vote!

It is really a type of self serving religious belief in the face of bounded rationality. On the other hand, these type of companies are really hard to value too.

Exactly. I have stopped eating out almost completely because it is addictive. Forget McDonalds, almost any Italian or Thai restaurant to me is like a drug dealer. There is no amount of chicken alfredo that is satisfying to me. It doesn&#x27

To me this is just shit. The meme and youtube video have more value than the art itself. The art is almost not the point.

"You can't begin to paint until you have learned to stretch canvas by hand like the old masters. What if one day you couldn't just go to the art supply store and buy a pre-stretched canvas? It is all besides the point anyway.

Certain subjects we treat as if one has to learn woodworking before taking violin lessons. We just really underestimate sentimentality in our society because it doesn't fit our self conception.

I was going to try to make the monopoly argument but then realized I only think youtube is a monopoly because I don't use tiktok. It is just an oligopoly like most other sectors.

Anyone with long experience trading commodities would have expected this. This is like the least surprising thing ever. It is amusing reading the comments on here. Silver dropped 50% in 1980. Silver is the original memecoin. I think people

The economy in the 21st century developed world is mostly about acquiring positional goods. Positional goods as "products and services valued primarily for their ability to convey status, prestige, or relative social standing rather th

I think it becomes more a religious and philosophical question than an economic question. We need to separate economics from the neoliberal religion. Byung-Chul Han - Psychopolitics should be standard text that everyone is discussing right

I think you are not using enough imagination. It would not be shocking at all if in 10 years, "Let's redo the entire project to account for this" is exactly how things work. Or lets make 3 or 4 versions of the project and see

Do you think people were more optimistic about the future during World War 2? Or after WW2 when everyone was worried about nuclear annihilation? How about before that when your new baby had a 30% chance of death before age 5? Before that, s

Unfortunately, they are extremely competent at holding on to power. Inflation has been oscillating between 20% and 50% since 2019 yet here we are. It is hard to over throw the people who have all the guns. I am usually pretty isolationist

This is nonsense. You can't understand the tao because there is nothing to "understand". That is the whole point. If you walk in the woods on a beautiful day and hear birds chirping, there is nothing to "understand"

What is the European alternative to the US military if Russia attacks Europe? This whole thing just seems like the standard hysterical overreaction of people who spend too much time on social media.

I don't think it even sounds that interesting. Especially if you have ever used the various physical modeling ensembles in Reaktor. It isn't even close to some of those.

I love Korg but personally I think this is stupid. I had an OASYS PCI and synthkit 20 years ago that had incredible physical modeling. Maybe because I can picture what this would sound like with those OASYS models that it is not impressive

Florian Schneider has been dead for 5 years and Ralf Hutter is pushing 80. Other people have made electronic music too since 1975.

I don't currently have any physical instruments while I have had quite a collection and nice studio in the past. I think it comes down to the fact that it is fun collecting gear and a lot easier than actually making music. Making music

audio DSP is a great example. Especially because the proof is in the output if you are then able to make a cool sounding analog filter emulation that you would not have otherwise. I disagree on the students in educational institutions thoug

I think many are not doing anything like this so to the person who is not interested in learning anything, technical details like this sound like pretentious name dropping because that is how they relate to the world. Everything to them is

It seems obvious to me this quickly escalates to a US nuclear first strike with the B2-Spirit on China manufacturing infrastructure. It is economic MAD. Or China can wait 20-30 years and the US will no longer care about Taiwan or have the r

It is delusional to believe the current frontier models can only write CRUD apps. I would think someone would have to only write CRUD apps themselves to believe this. It doesn't matter anyway what a person "believes". If anyt

I still use my Quest after a year but it is mostly on the web and youtube 360. youtube 360 is actually quite cool given the fact no one really makes content for it. I have no interest in games and anything inside Horizon is just not impress
