Personally i think the feds should buy up a couple of the huge condo complexes there, give each congress person one to stay in while they're in office (like a dorm room), and cut their pay down to no more than twice the average income.
That's good. I'd prefer if they built some low-cost housing complexes for congressional representatives. And while we're at it, force them to have the same health care that they're voting for the rest of us.
"Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said Monday that House and Senate lawmakers should receive a $2,500 per month housing allowance — something he explained would help ease housing costs for members who can’t afford two mortgages or rents."
"Rep Jeb Hensarling [R-TX/+1 202 225-3484/@RepHensarling] is the sponsor of HR 10, the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017, which will ban investors from putting petitions to the shareholders and board of publicly traded companies, except when investors own more than 1% of the company for at least three years."
Behind every act of terrorism there is political demands to enforce rules backed by threat of violence from an external entity
When health care systems or infrastructure or the financial system are targeted, yeah it's terrorism.
Either way, purveyors of malware should be considered combatants, and treated accordingly. I see zero reason to give them the benefit of understanding. That includes Microsoft, who should face the corporate equivalent of being considered a combatant and broken up via anti-trust laws.
Does iPad Pro even properly support external storage in a way that lets apps access it natively?
I have no idea any more. After iPad 3, I gave up on Apple as a platform for pro music production. It's a shame too, because I would love to use Logic Pro again despite it's ridiculous price. In 2012, I bought my last Mac Pro and now use only Windows and Linux for music production and sound design.
But what's the advantage of recording at more than 48 kHz sample rate?
Sound designers and music producers use plug-ins to manipulate sounds. If you're going to sample a sound and then pitch it down for example, you would definitely want it to have been recorded at a higher sample rate. Also, having samplers and plug-ins work at higher sample rates can definitely be audible. But you're right, 48k (or 44.1k) rates are perfectly adequate for most simple sound recording and playback.
And then you'd need a dongle for the audio interface and a way to connect external storage. By that point, you've made it a computer again.
Apple is already selling the iPad Pro as "more powerful than a PC" and a "computer for everything".
I would like to think "more powerful than" means "can do more". If it doesn't, then what does it mean?
And then you'd need a dongle
Suck dongles already exist. When I do field recording or performance control with my Surface Pro, I have to plug it into something. The difference is I can run actual pro software.
I just wish Apple would make a tablet that will run one of the professional music production platforms, like Pro Tools or even Logic Pro X. This is an area where the PC tablets and hybrids are light years ahead of Apple. Considering Apple was a pioneer in tools for artists, I'm surprised they haven't made this a priority.
the change in laws doesn't reduce the actual murder rate
The six states with the lowest rates of gun-related death are Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, which all have relatively strict gun control laws.
The simile I've heard is "if the problem you have is yahoos driving through your town doing 100, reducing the speed limit from 25 to 5 won't solve your problems".
A more apt comparison would be, "Yahoos are driving through your town doing 100, so the only solution is to get rid of all speed limits".
This is basically the argument from the pro-gun lobby, who by the way, want power to revert to the states except not the power to restrict gun ownership in any way. Federalism for thee, but not for me, in other words.
Because the shootings that gain national media attention tend to be committed with illegally owned weapons.
That is simply not true. In fact, it is the exact opposite of true. Eighty percent of the mass shootings in the last three decades were committed using legally-purchased weapons.
Well, and I take matters into my hands and say you're all behaving like immature little kids, and I don't want to work with any of you. And that upsets you because...?
Warned of what exactly? "Hey baby, do you want to sleep with me? Might improve your chances of funding." "Geez, you must be desperate. But, no, thanks. Now either let's get back to business or I'm out of here". Oh the horror of it! Those poor, poor women!
Nobody is saying you should have pity for the women. They took matters into their own hands and handled Caldbeck in a perfectly legal, public way.

These are illuminating in regard to any discussion of the economic impact of the minimum wage:

In 1980, to work in computer science all you needed was a familiarity with maintaining a diesel engine and a first-class radio operator's license.
I read your dissertation, "Why I Ain't Need No Goddamn Liberal Dental Care". It was most illuminating.

I love it when you talk dirty.
Let's not bullshit or pretend that being "techie" makes it somehow better. Malware = terrorism. And yes, that swings both ways.
There are zero professional-quality DAWs in the iOS store. Not one.

You have to admit, I bring the best out in ACs.

Yeah, I've never understood the "laws are useless because criminals break laws" approach. You hear it a lot in the Second Amendment community.
I speak only to my car, and my car speaks only to God.
Everybody should read James Tiptree, Jr. One of the best science fiction writers of the 20th century.
That's fine. Do as thou wilt and go in peace.
Nobody is saying you should have pity for the women. They took matters into their own hands and handled Caldbeck in a perfectly legal, public way.
Sometimes, things work out for the best.
And these women telling the world that Caldbeck made unwanted advances on them is also not a crime.
As I said, not every matter is best handled by the courts or law enforcement.
