Apple's Logic Pro User Guide page on FM Synthesis: "The DX7, sold from 1983 to 1986, remains the most commercially successful professional-level hardware synthesizer ever made." https://support.apple.com/guide

Genuinely surprised there's so much focus on UI/UX here. Of course, it's FOSS, I always thought it went without saying it doesn't look as good, but indeed, this looks pretty robust for what it is.

Correct, I was just speaking to the fact that all conforming, conventional loans means it applies to pretty much everyone in the business of making mortgages. This new fee is only on refinance transactions.

I own a couple of extra licenses of Office 365 for Business that I've already paid for. I just want to check out the excel template- I don't need Office 365 for Home. I have a business license on the machine I use at home. I would

I find it baffling that this template is inaccessible to users of Office 365 for business.

I love the "motivated ground-up" approach. Always mystified by the economics of educational/textbook publishing, though. I suppose for required coursework it's not unreasonable and it really looks like an exhaustive tome

Thank you for confirming this. I thought LastPass was a LogMeIn entity but it's not mentioned anywhere in the press release.

Piketty looked at like ~200 years of econ data (wages, asset values, rents) and allowed for inflation and even depreciation. His thesis is actually that r > g, wherein r = ROI of capital and g = the rate of economic growth (gdp). This

"This question is being answered on Wall Street every day, even if the participants are not aware of it." This is basically the deal with MMT too. We talk about the defacto status quo reality like it's a hypothetical and not

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Modern Monetary Theory is kind of just giving a name and theoretical application to something that is essentially contemporary, defacto monetary practice.

It's odd to me that the phrase, "conversation view" is nowhere in the OP and it's literally the name of the feature they're talking about, which can be turned off.

I like that this shows BRK's historical volatility relative to the index and how that's basically going away, which is indicative of the firm's age/maturity and size.

And yet, isn't it sort of an inadvertent/defacto practice, looking at monetary policy retrospectively? (Not a qualitative/value judgement question)

It's always seemed curious to me that Berkshire Hathaway had major positions in IBM and now with Apple and Buffett and Gates are like BFFs, but BRK has no position in MSFT and seemingly never will. MSFT has always seemed like the mor
