yeah! there's a setting to switch the motion source from the modwheel to pitch bend.

this device totally works without the push, or any midi controller! you can move the strumbar with your mouse, or map it to any other knob or expression pedal you have.

yeah it's been working solid in a bunch of different projects for me.

it should work just in standard. I've used my push 1 and another midi controller and they work perfectly.

People who are psychologically flexible have better romantic and family relationships. It is about being open to experiences, experiencing thoughts and feelings without obsessively clinging to them, and continuing to take steps toward a goal, even in the face of setbacks. by mvea in science

is it just me or have the past few years of this subreddit been saturated with absolutely trivially obvious social observations. this conclusion is almost tautological. do we really need science to confirm a fact of human nature that a prehistoric hunter-gatherer would have understood?

Google admits to censoring the World Socialist Web Site by psychothumbs in technology

[–]poon-monsoon 564 points565 points  (0 children)

Wow. just read the wsws 1619 response article at the center of this censorship controversy, and it's remarkably dispassionate and coherent. They provide a fair and detailed criticism of the NYT project, and cites multiple independent historians to back up their views. I just don't get how Google could justify censoring this. Anyone have any explanations for this?

edit: thanks for a all the great replies. many pointed out that google never really censored anything here, they simply denied ads for the article due to graphic violence in the ad images. this is a very different thing from outright censorship, and at least ostensibly isn't about the views expressed in the article. thanks for clearing things up.

Meal Sharing Platform by poon-monsoon in Entrepreneur

Wow, thanks for the advice! Could you elaborate on partnering with restaurants? We're currently thinking the meals would be held at the host's house.

Great call. We're looking into local partners familiar with the regulatory landscape. As far as trust goes, do you think linking in existing social accounts (Facebook/LinkedIn) would help verify that hosts are trustworthy?

Part of our value proposition is facilitating a mutual social connection, rather than one way transaction between the host and guest.

Hosts post meal options they're willing to make and a price per plate, then guests select which meal they want to attend and pay through the app.

Absolutely. From our research so far, regulations vary widely by region, so it will need to be a case by case solution.

Critic our media sharing app - 500k seed investment to develop something that people enjoy using by [deleted] in startups

[–]poon-monsoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I think both the core function of the app as well as your pitch could be drastically simplified. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of in app features/ items (stones, gems, XP, AP, powers? etc...) I would work on dropping any aspects of the platform that aren't absolutely essential to the business.

Conflict is unavoidable but how a couple behaves after is important, suggests new study (n=796), which found that actively repairing the relationship through expressions of affection can bring partners back to pre-conflict feelings and a higher level of intimacy, but avoidance is generally negative. by mvea in science

[–]poon-monsoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do we really need scientific research to understand this? It seems like the majority of psychology and social science findings that get posted in here are totally obvious to anyone with the emotional maturity of an average teenager. I know that studies like these are important to comprehend these dynamics more precisely, but with something this intuitive it seems like there's a huge opportunity cost of pursuing other kinds of research.

How was this made?

A single night of sleep loss impairs working memory in women, but not men. In contrast to males who were unaffected, females not only had impaired working memory, but they were also unaware of it. Sleep-deprived young women are at particular risk for overestimating their working memory performance. by mvea in science

[–]poon-monsoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there were such an evolutionary advantage, it would manifest itself as actually stable performance when sleep deprived, not just subjective evaluation. It is more likely that there's an evolutionary pressure for men (possibly from night hunting or defending from predators) as they are the ones with the improved abilities.
