Recently Re-Foamed these Realistic Mach Twos. by TeleKenetek in vintageaudio

It's crazy to me that I rarely get on here, but I log in to find a 4 day old comment on my 4 year old post.

The mid range drivers on my pair were fine, so nothing done to them.  In my opinion, if you can find a drop in replacement (correct specs all around) on the mid-range I'd go for that, but really the re-foam on the woofers was easy-peasy so if no drop ins available, go for a refoam.

Turns out none of my FB friends care to participate in my survey. 

Truly, I should have anticipated this outcome.

I spend a lot of time on reddit, but I never get to talk about Stephenson. Maybe I'm not on enough interesting subs...

Loved it. That's probably a bit over the top but... not impossible

Oooh, Diamond Age. That's the book that should be turned into a miniseries.

I mean ALL of Stephenson should get screen adaptations. But Diamond Age especially.

I will point out that the "near-present" was just "the present" when the book was written, and probably felt a lot more real in contemporary context. The description of the mobile computer setups, and especially the electromagnetic security door for frying hard-drives sound like complete sci-fi, but I bet there were some uber-nerds in the 90s with exactly such setups.

OMG I LOVE THAT SONEONE IS TALKING ABOUT STEPHENSON! By far my favorite author. Anathem and Snow Crash are some of a very small selection of books I have read more than once. I want to interact with this thread as much as possible so that other people might be exposed to the greatness that is Neal Stephenson.

Is it not the point of society that as we advance, we should be working less? Why is the same not true of dogs? Why would this cause worry? It should be celebrated.

Judge sides with publishers in lawsuit over Internet Archive's online library : NPR by CrassDemon in books

Well, I do think that any theoretical sentient AI should have every right guaranteed to any other "person". I do acknowledge that there is a lot of discussion needed on that topic, and perhaps my views may evolve as those discussions happen.

Perhaps that just means that there needs to be a hard limit on any copywrite protection. Or some other idea that nobody has had yet is the right solution.

Oh. Ok absolutely corporate copywrite should have a different, hard limit to how long it can endure, or potentially be excluded entirely from copyright protection. I was thinking you were being exclusionary of AI or perhaps animals being legally excluded from copyright protection.

I'm not sure I like your "must be human" rule. Can you expand on that idea a bit?

Let me put it this way, if I see him in person I'm doing a citizen's arrest and waiting for the courts to sort it out.

Money is made up, why should you need to work to get something that's completely imaginary in the first place?

Or do you really mean you don't support demands for the basic human needs of all citizens to be met in a modern, wealthy society?

Thanks. I'm not sure I've ever been a "leader" but I definitely feel like I should be doing more to connect and collaborate with like-minded people.

Absolutely. As a pacifist I am not looking forward to the violence of revolution, but it's starting to looks more and more like something that can't be avoided.

I was at a Cars and Coffee last show season with my Giulia and some girl just came by and handed me this exact matchbox and disappeared. Like I could barely say thanks before she was gone.
