Political Cheese (split from So Long... thread)

[Urs]

Lamya Kaddor said on german TV: "Soon there will be No more blue Eyes & blonde Hair in Germany" with satisfaction - the audience applaud.

That's a misquote - she said something very different. There's just a frightening number of xenophobic shrinkbrains who intentionally use fallacies to turn the quote against what they fear the most: Reason in a debate they haven't got profound arguments for.

However, any person who's proficient in German language (from your post's IP I guess you're not) and not brainwashed by any ideology will understand her argument as what it is: Not an attack on a race, but an attack on racism itself. The people in the audience understood it as that, hence they applauded.

I suggest you fix your post. I'll check back tomorrow. [edit: after the other post I think there's no further doubt, so I'll fix it for him]

Would Native Instruments give their best coders their worst computers?

I work for a company that develops mine design and scheduling software and as silly as it might sound we purposely keep the spec of our developers machines lower than the cutting edge to ensure that we pick up on any speed issues in our code before it gets into our clients' hands.

Our consultants on the other hand....they get the full wally for demos to potential clients

Love the patches. Thanks very much OP!

Interesting strategy, but wouldn't it be possible to keep
a couple slow machines on the network just for testing?
Would a few hundred network accesses to the dinosaurs per workday,
take more time than the likely time savings when compiling new builds,
and mundane tasks/file management etc? (a non-coder question,
if it isn't obvious )
...but then there is backward compatibility to consider
for clients who may also keep old, but working-well low risk
computers. I use and value lots of 32bit plugins, on a 32bit linux with
a PAE kernel, to access the memory from 3.x to 8 gig,
so I appreciate a strategy that is not firstly
a headlong rush into the unknown, fixing what ain't broke.
Thanks for sharing a pro perspective.
Cheers

U.S has got to lower it's worlds highest corporate income tax rate
to much lower than those of the top 20 nations to whom U.S. corporations
have moved, escaping progressive taxes (and those taxes frivolously wasted)

And in the same breath, repeal all death taxes and gift taxes,
so people are FREE to share their wealth precisely as desired.

We don't single out the star athletes and dancing girls,
and make them wear leg weights, to 'make it more fair',
and it's equally absurd to tax the most successful workers
more than their less able, or less motivated counterparts.
Rewarding mediocrity and failure breeds it all the more.
Level the tax rates, and let the cream rise to the top.

Surely that would be more progressively fair to a new collegiate hirling,
who barely knows the difference between D and SP.

But that's not how successful businesses are managed,
it's not how championships are won, it's not how
entertainers rise to the top, and it's certainly
not how nations thrive and prosper.
Cheers

That is a bunch of crap... and maybe we should not be discussing such stuff in the u-he forum...

When I say slower it's relative. They aren't running 8086s

A lot of the companies we work with are big corporates and especially in this day and age they are reluctant to spend money to stay at the bleeding edge even for engineers. They tend to hold onto machines for quite a while. And OS's. We only just stopped support for Windows XP. Lots of big companies are still using it....

Thanks for sharing your sound design talents!
The fine people of Great Britain will still have to
do battle with control-freak bureaucrats, but in their
own locales, where revelation of corruption,
and local elections, can still change things.
The EU is swirling around the drain of their own creation.
Let freedom ring. Hopefully there are some nice bell sounds in your
collection. Your Synth1 sounds sure are a delight! As was your
unique distribution of them.

New York floundered for years to complete an ice skating rink,
as cronie contractors sucked the taxpayers for all they could get,
until the redhead stepped in, and proved why he expands
the family fortune, rather than squandering it.
Cheers

Well it takes quite a bit more skill to run a country than to build a skating rink but it is thinking like this that puts this "comb-over disaster waiting to happen" in the polls in the first place.

I agree, the unaccountable political leaders and cronie contractors
lack the fundamental skills to complete even a basic construction project,
whereas even a comb-over hick like Donald Trump
could throw a little fiscal sanity, and sound business management
at the colossal mess, and get the job done.
Thankyou for re-making my point.

Hillary and Lois Lerner prove you can't even entrust
basic email accounts with corrupt women, let alone
school districts, cities, counties, states, or the nation...
and the other parties leaders glibly sold out those
who voted them in office, so now it's payback time.
and Mr. Trump is merely filling the void of leadership.
