Apple makes increasingly disappointing products. I recently was looking at replacing my iPhone 7 Plus, but around $900 would get the next baseline model, for no real tangible benefits, and some tangible downsides like no zoom lens and being

Actually it's worse, I've done much more involved backbending and hoop jumping to make sure I was covered between jobs than just quitting around the beginning of the month.

They're correct actually. We've been overcompensating on personal responsibility, but changing personal behaviors won't save us from climate change. It's not enough. We need massive political mobilization and aggressive

College has gotten a lot more expensive lately. Anecdotally, after the recession my in state tuition doubled because of less funding from the state. I agree it's a great question of what should be done but I'm mostly happy to refr

Any time there's a proposal like this, it's disappointing to see the conversation gravitate towards tit-for-tat zero-sum appeals to fairness, instead of asking: how can we spend money in ways that will create wealth and other l

How's the quality of the data, is there any other cleaning that could be done / crowdsourced in order to improve the dataset?

Amazing work. I wanted to do something with that same archive you mentioned but soon realized how difficult it would actually be. One idea I thought of that might still be useful - would it make sense to alter midi file playback so it uses
