Day #2.... One more to go!

@ccshan @mischief_sf @BamBam Hmmm any aquarium employees here that can get us in after hours so we can do the photo nude???

@mischief_sf Luka Wineberger of Low Bar Art in Columbus, OH.

@BamBam and I met her in SF two years ago when she did his Catbus tattoo. We introduced her to Josie Iselin, and her amazing photographs of kelp. They grooved on each other and Luka did a few small kelp tattoos based on Josie's work. This is the first big piece out of that collaboration.

And yeah, I flew to Columbus for it.

@mattly @snarfmason As someone who for years was totally in on dynamic typing (I was on the Smalltalk team at Apple, after all!) - I now see deep value in type systems for practical engineering projects.

BUT - they have to be real, strong type systems. Not "gradual" types, nor bolted on to dynamic languages.

With a strong type system (like Haskell's) - I've found real engineering projects benefit greatly from initial deployment, to staying bug free over their lifetime of enhancement.

@mattly You're right - it's not nothing. Essentially acquisition is an integration operation which is then averaged out - so the sample is an estimate of the value at a specific point. You trade the time inaccuracy for some value inaccuracy. Since the digital representation already has more value error than you're introducing, it is a fine trade off.

But the "at an instant" aspect of the sample is essential for DSP algo.s to produce correct results. This all flows from the Sampling Theorem.

@mattly I love working with time in computing systems, and have done a lot of in my past. (I'm the author of the Time Manager & Sound Manager of the Macintosh OS in the 80s for one...) Most of my work is w.r.t. audio, video, and media.

I would be careful to separate the concepts of the precision with which a point in time is measured and represented... as distinct from an interval of time (which really has two such "fuzzy" end points).

@mattly

For example, an audio sample really is an measurement of signal at an instantaneous point in time - and is not (as commonly drawn) a value held over the sample period. This is very important when you do the math of signal processing.

Of course, measuring that value occurred over a period of time, and somewhere in the path from ADC to sample file, that aspect must be properly dealt with (usually in the hardware.)

@mattly recent places and bookmarked locations are now part of OS X: The Finder sidebar (w/Favorites) appears in File dialogs... and the popup with the folder name has both the folder parent list, and recent folders in it.

@mattly hmmm... Neither of my accounts are anonymous. In fact, each has a link to the other!

I keep two, because a subset of my circles of friends only know music and computer work, I don't think would feel comfortable skipping over my nudes and posts about sex (all CW'd). But if you're happy with both of those parts of me... Just follow me here!

@mattly I'm a synth person, and happy to have your music stuff here. Or I can follow your music alt...

I end up posting all my music stuff twice: once here, once on my SFW account... I still don't know how I feel about doing that!

@smurthys @mattly What you say is essentially true: one part is taxed as wages, and one part as capital gains (long or short).

The complexity comes from where the dividing line is drawn - it depends on both the period of time from grant to exercise, and exercise to sell... I don't pretend to understand the rational for the several different cases.. but you can find decent references (and flowcharts!) on-line to help you wade through it.

@mattly it's because your purchase price from the grant is typically less than the market price. The difference is essentially a boon, extra income. Hence the tax treatment as income.

@mattly - Our kids are older, and of course we read them multiple times long before JK turned out to be such an anathema.

At this point, while there is a complex conversation about can one disentangle the artist from the art... Your 7 year old probably isn't there yet.

@mattly

I think you could look at it this way: Let them know the world their peers know all about, let them read the books, and watch the movies when old enough. Point out and discuss the negative tropes when they arise.

The discussion of art tainted by artist comes later. In the meantime, just don't give her any money: Get the books and movies from the library.

@mattly Sadly, I'd predict that no merchant would ever use X-Irrelevant-After. They *still* want their e-mail in front of your eyeballs even if the sale is over. Jogging your memory that they exist is the main point, not the sale.

@mattly @snacktraces oh man… I commuted to work on bike for almost a decade and this was the main thing about it that drove me nuts. It happened almost every single ride. Once I finally had to get off my bike and walk it to the sidewalk before the person (driving a bus no less) would go. I mean, dude I can’t see through your bus… I have no idea what’s going on on the other side!
