Sure! One thing that I love about the music producing/synth community is that we all love to share :)

I have dedicated myself to use only hardware for a while, working on a computer for 8+ hours a day really puts me off on being creative on it so I went to the only-hardware route.

With that said, my current setup is:

* Roland TR-8S for the drums, recreations of the classic drum machines (TR-606, 707, 808, 909, etc.) and it also plays samples, it's a really cool instrument to play live and perform instead of programming but with the A-H variations per pattern it also is much more powerful than the previous TR-8

* Elektron Analog Four Mk II as my main analog synth, it can do 4-voice polyphony if you aren't using all 4 tracks for different sounds or you get 4-in-1 synths with 2 oscillators per track, a lot of options for modulation (2 envelopes per track, 2 LFOs per track, etc.). I use it mainly for basslines and some leads but sometimes will use for pads, sample them and free up the tracks for playing other stuff.

* Elektron Octatrack Mk II is my brain for the setup, my sampler, my pickup machine, looper, and so it goes. It's a VERY deep machine with tons of possibilites, artists across many genres use it (from Radiohead to a lot of techno producers) and I'm even using it to help a friend who has a solo ballad rock project to add some cool ambiance to his tracks.

* Elektron Digitone, my FM and polysynth, 8 voices, 2 per track but as the A4 it can steal voices from other tracks to play up to 8 notes at a time from a single track. This machine is really cool and inspiring, it's FM-made-easy as apart from the FM engine you also get the world of subtractive synthesis with its filters. I also love that that it has 4 MIDI tracks that I can internally route back to it to use more than 2 LFOs per track to have even more modulation.

I'm very happy with this setup, it covers all the bases while keeping it more or less compact (for a 4 synths setup).

Feel free to ask any more questions if you've got them :)
In the early colonial period, the colonizers did use European as near slaves. Many thousands of people came from Europe as indentured servants for seven year contracts, and few survived the harsh conditions for the full seven years.

For forty years (1619-1661), Black Africans came to Virginia as indentured servants rather than slaves. Then Virginia passed a slave law. Slaves were cheaper.

Indeed! I have had similar... hesitation? when it comes to getting in a book club. I love reading, I have several friends that love reading, but I couldn't possibly imagine regularly reading something that we all agree upon in order to talk about on a regular basis. We'd all rather read our own stuff.

It's not even about not wanting to read something - I just want to feel engaged with what I'm reading and my friends seem to agree. It's how you can let a book sit on a shelf for 6 months then pick it up and read it in 3 days - sometimes it just 'grabs' you.
I think the better phrase is simply "bureaucracy".
Practical answer - how you engage is radically different.

My math prof likened it to the axiomatic frameworks: if a person has bad facts or faulty reasoning, but your core axioms (values) are similar, you are more likely to come to a point of mutual agreement or at least understanding.
If your values (axioms) are radically different, chances are your entire frameworks are different and possibly incompatible. You'll be talking past each other, discussing methods while in fact your goals and assumptions are completely different.

Philosophical answer - depends on your philosophy and how you feel about philosophical zombie - i.e. is it only outward results or internal causes that make a difference to you.

Do you have any type of financial insurance to backup of your claim that you will cover losses if the property sells for less? I'm not talking about having the money available to cover the losses, but actually being around at all to honor that claim.

What happens if I buy today and your company goes to hell in two years? How can I trust this transaction with a horizon of 3 years without fully knowing how are you going to perform as a company.

Of course, if you disappear and I don't have to honor the 20% it's a win for me, but if I buy based on your data and after 3 years the property value is way down and you're not around to honor your loss-covering promise then I'm fucked. I bought a house because you told me it was going to appreciate, but it didn't. Now what? Do you have a way to pay me back even if your company is not around anymore?

There's something about the model that doesn't make sense to me.
In fairness, few people really need high upload speeds, which is why most plans are as asymmetrical as they are.

Thank you.

This is probably the most informative comment that I've read on HN in the last couple of months.
While I would agree, I am a programmer, as are many other HN commenters, and even those who aren't are the sort of people who are ok with being on a forum filled with a bunch of programmers. That "garbage" might actually be more readable to a different slice of the public, that finds the "dry" parts so boring as to be unreadable. Just a hypothesis, I have no data to back that up, but maybe some people find the term paper more digestible with a little perfume?
"The S&P 500 (SPX), the broad measure of stocks of the 500 largest US companies, is up 29% since Trump took office in January 2017. But they were up 46% during the same 645 day period at the start of President Barack Obama's tenure.

Trump's stock market also lags a bit behind the 36% gain during the same period at the start of President George H.W. Bush from 1989 through mid-1991, and the 29% rise at the start of President Bill Clinton's tenure."

Yes, we actually hedge with both depending on the area the property is located in. I hope you don't mind me not mentioning the specific products, since we don't want people in the market to bid up our hedging instruments and make them more expensive for us to buy.

We can look into the portfolio for a lot of the REITs as well as the exposure certain builders have. Based on that, we can hedge specific states and cities very well. It's not a perfect hedge, but it will definitely reflect the local real estate market.

UK has not entered recession, UK has 1 negative quarter, a recession is 2.
It is very hard to speculate about future crises since often the causes are only obvious in hindsight...but...here I go speculating anyway :-)

Firstly, I totally agree with you on 2008 - bank failure driven recessions are always worse than regular recessions, so 2008 already takes a lead.

However, there is another aspect -- the 2008 crisis was controlled by a combination of controlling interest rates and other QE measures. We're now still in ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) so one of our key tools for combating a crisis is gone (it is like being at the bottom of the hill and realizing you are already on low gear.)

Of course, we have other QE as well as fiscal tools, but lowering rates wont be one of them.
Just as you read HN, others get their news from Medium, Reddit, and so on, and they do care that the news source is sustained so that they can get future news. I do the same for HN, it would annoy me if it disappeared tomorrow, so perhaps you are the odd one out. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation.
The surveillance state has existed for a long time...
There's the looming student debt crisis, which is absolutely allowing lots of people to borrow money they shouldn't be able to get. People are graduating college well into six figures of debt with nearly worthless degrees that pay little more than minimum wage. Even worse, the government guarantees that debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy, leaving no way out for the underwater borrowers.
It's hard to follow his reasoning sometimes. Sometimes it seems like he's saying that we already went through the debt supercycle, or the end of the long-term debt cycle and we've already gone through the reflation period.

But other times it sounds like he's saying the real "big one" is still about to happen, rather than just another recession.

If someone is new to photography it can be very useful to know what happens when you do have full control over aperture, shutter speed, and so on. Knowing what all of the components do and how they interact is part of the fun, in my opinion.

In a practical sense, however, I completely agree. I shoot on aperture priority and just keep an eye on shutter speed to make sure it's reasonable, adjusting ISO as needed.
I agree.

I keep up with current events mostly through a couple of very popular niche forums, each with a few hundred thousand members. The news posted there is biased, of course, but mostly it's a selection bias. I use it because my interests (if not necessarily my perspective) overlap with those forums' topics. When I find something that piques my interest, then I'll seek out other sources for that particular story.

I spend the majority of my "what's going on in the world?" time on ar15.com - but I don't assume that the stories posted there are accurate. I judge the reputation of the source from which it came, and if it's contentious, I'll purposefully look for alternative reporting.

The bottom line is that no news outlet, "mainstream" or not, is without bias. There are decisions made on what constitutes news and stories are editorialized both explicitly and implicitly.

There was a time when I spent a decent amount of time on 4chan, but the SNR is so low these days and the format is so hard to keep up with that I haven't bothered in years. Instead, I watch secondary sources who are watching the chans.

It's possible, but tariffs against only China won't do much of that. There are loads of countries with relatively low wages that already supply things to US markets. India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Mexico, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand from the top of my head produce lots of things in US stores. Much of it is lower tech stuff like produce or textiles, but the shipping and investment pathways are already there. A threat of general tariffs on some goods might do more for that, but that would involve Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Europe for electronics, appliances, and automobiles.

Countries don't only impose import tariffs when trade wars get really ugly, either. Imagine all of OPEC hitting the US with export tariffs in their countries. Or imagine Mexico, Germany, Japan, and South Korea charging export tariffs on their car manufacturing for exports to the US. A 10% or 20% export tariff costs the consumer the same as an import tariff of the same amount, but the money goes to the exporting country's government, which if they want they can use to subsidize the industry being taxed. The target country can't credibly accuse you of dumping if you're intentionally charging them more than everyone else.

The US does a lot of outsourcing of parts and subassemblies. Then US companies import those to make into other products or assemble them into more complex systems. Those import costs go up under tariffs, and much of the demand goes down for the finished product when there are tit-for-tat tariffs to sell those overseas. Meanwhile if some country neither party is in a trade war with starts buying the parts and doing the final assembly, they can undercut US manufacturers' prices because they have lower taxes in place on those products.

It would take years to move all the vertical supply chains into the US and to do so would be extremely expensive. The low-cost labor from overseas would likely be replaced with factories with a much higher level of automation to keep the costs down. That's going to provide more professional jobs and highly skilled technical jobs and fewer low-skilled and trades jobs than people might like to imagine. All the while, the resources to build those new factories is higher from the tariffs unless we're building it all with domestic parts. There is no training program in place of which I'm aware to teach coal miners and steel mill workers to assemble things like motherboards and flat panel displays, either, which means the labor costs for those things is much higher than just the wages if those jobs aren't automated away.

Oh, I think you're right, Scheme was at least the first lexically scoped Lisp.

Wikipedia says

> The concept of closures was developed in the 1960s for the mechanical evaluation of expressions in the λ-calculus and was first fully implemented in 1970 as a language feature in the PAL programming language to support lexically scoped first-class functions.

> PAL, the Pedagogic Algorithmic Language, is a programming language developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in around 1967 to help teach programming language semantics and design. It is a "direct descendant" of ISWIM and owes much of its philosophy to Christopher Strachey.

Aperture mode or Shutter mode

Sometimes you want to control for depth of field -A mode-

Sometimes you want to control for motion blur -T/S mode-

-Edit-

Also, you usually don't want to adjust ISO to fix over/under-exposure. Shoot to your camera's native ISO unless you literally don't have enough light or your exposure is super off. Try to use the lowest or closest to native ISO as you can, and use the cameras built in metering adjustment feature (e.g. if you're under exposed tell it to over-expose by a stop or two...)
Is this share of the profit based on actual profit after sale or the valuation after 3 years?

From my limited research, property flipping every few years isn't a great idea because of how much is lost in the actual buying and selling process e.g. realtor fees.

The great thing about leather is when the surface gets trashed you can polish it again and it’s as good as new. You can wear a pair of boots for weeks in the mountains and then polish again to a mirror finish (meaning perfectly waterproof.) With all synthetic leathers there’s some kind of surface which once it’s broken that’s it it’s ruined and there’s no way to repair and they need to be thrown away.

Ask anyone who's ever tried to get way with plastic 'patent leather' boots and regretted it with the first scratch they get!
Yeah, shutter-priority and aperture-priority are where it's at in my (limited) experience. It's still important to understand how it all works, but you only have to optimize one of the factors and the other two are automatically balanced to hit the exposure compensation setting.

Not a professional, but I often use manual mode with auto-iso enabled (and auto wb... and auto focus, etc) on in case I want a specific shutter speed and aperture. Arguably not fully manual, but hey!

> Point to consider is the effect of Quantitative Easing (QE). Here, the Fed buys long-term treasuries such as 10-years. This makes long-term rates appear lower than they would otherwise be.

It's not just that. The reason yield curve inversions tend to imply recessions is that it's an indication people are taking their money out of stocks and putting it into long-term treasuries. But China just announced a round of currency devaluation. With what's happening in Hong Kong on top of that, it makes people want to dump assets denominated in Chinese currency in favor of ones (like treasuries) denominated in other currencies like USD and GBP. So you get low supply and high demand and what happens? Low long-term bond yields.

Consider that recessions are typically caused by something. A decade ago it was the housing crisis, in the 1990s it was the dot com bust, in the 1980s it was savings and loan, in the 1970s it was the oil crisis, etc.

So what's the cause supposed to be? It can't be a trade war with China. Some tariffs on a few hundred billion in imports is tens of billions of dollars, which is a rounding error against a $20T economy.

There is also too much debt sloshing around which something has to be done about at some point (probably printing a lot of money), but that's been true for years and nothing about it is likely to change overnight one way or the other.

So what's the thing that's supposed to be causing this? Because without that it looks a lot like a misleading indicator.
