As a drummer, I believe the title of this article is a little misleading. Such a title better represent cymbal factories that are located in Istanbul that use centuries old manufacturing processes.
Although Zildjian is undeniably iconic, the same could be said about Bosphorus Cymbals and a few other companies I won't name.
Alamo Drafthouse is showing this film (new score composed by Bob Lanzetti) in theatres (and on demand) in collaboration with GroundUp Music.

I believe Zach Brock will be featured on violin, but don't quote me on that.
It is a very foreign concept to many people, I understand where they are coming from.
For example, my mom loves Whole Foods and would not prefer a CSA. There is comfort in the standard quality that McDonalds has to offer. Marketing labels and branding have become commonplace and widely celebrated amongst consumers.
To ask for these luxuries to be stripped away is preposterous to most people. “Your weed isn’t lab tested - but you could be killed!”
You, along with probably most of hacker news, probably just won't understand - unless you connect with the culture.
To help explain it...
I find what I need from friends and neighbors. I have built a system of trust that operates outside of the typical capitalistic reality that the rest of society runs on. Sometimes it means knowing where stuff was grown and who grew it. Sometimes the trust is more blind - it depends on the situation. Since cannabis is an organic compound (I only consume flower, not oil or edibles) I find it easy to "verify" that I am getting a legitimate product.
I don't mean to brag, but I have a situation where I mostly get it for free. It is all love, and to have people share the love makes it all the more special.
Another way to think of it like a CSA - would you want organic produce directly from the farm, or from Whole Foods?
I hope this helps, at the very least, humanizes the other side a little bit.
Always fun seeing LC3 pop up on HN. Well done!
I built http://littlecomputer3.com/ back in college.
I tried micro-dosing for a short time in my past, but gave it up for reasons not important here.
My only parent, my mother, gave me only one rule that I had to live by. I had to abide by the law, no matter what it was or if I disagreed with it. She simply just did not want me to spend my life in jail and assured me that I would feel the same way by telling me how terrible jail is (which I did).
I say this because I sympathize with your standpoint. I could have written your comment in a past life.
In short, I would ask that you empathize with the concept that one's belief might exist outside the law.
A little more to say... the variables at play here have a wide range of interpretation on a personal level. I infer from your comment that you perceive the risk to be high. I perceived my risk associated with microdosing, including the risk of being shipped to prison, to be low.
Before microdosing, I had undergone a macrodose. That macrodosing session was a positive for me. As such, the reward and exploration of a microdose was enticing enough for me to try it.
I thought you were going to take your pitch in a different direction.
I have found myself a part of a community organizations which practically live in the stone age. There are a lot of people and groups who are GREAT at organizing, but there aren't any technologies (besides phoning, text, and email) that one can use to enhance their ability to organize.
My best advice would be to unplug from the engineering community - see what real people are living through. Use technology to enhance arms length organization. I feel like you are doing what MeetUp is doing - creating a platform for human connections. I apologize in advance, I'm certain that I don't have the full picture.
People are tired of platforms. Give them a tool and let them use it how they see fit. Consider the blog post author. Think of a tool that allows them to better organize and communicate with their community of hobbiest painters. Tool to engage with other humans, not platform to spread your seed.
Okay as soon as I read this I knew I shouldn't be expecting much, but...
There is no need for you to get feisty over an comment that I (who seems like someone you disagree with) posted on the internet. Perhaps this is a point where you can self-reflect on how you articulate yourself.
Please understand that I don't care anymore. I don't care if you think I'm out of line. Yes, I read and understand your comment. I just don't engage with people that have bad communication skills.
I am only writing this in an attempt to make you a better person.
I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice.
I understand your response. There is one assumption that I think marks the difference between what side of the line one falls on.
My understanding of your belief is that you think Melvin would not lie due to there being a large risk associated with lying.
One might also assume that Melvin would not be dumb enough to short over 100% of GME stock.
In exercise, I believe this to be the crux of the speculative argument that Melvin is dumb enough to use psychological warfare (which may have legal ramifications if they get caught) to try to get GME stock back down.
Congrats on the launch! My understanding of the space is that there is a great desire for "super powered" messaging - especially over text. Any chance "send later" is a part of your roadmap? Or possible to implement using your API?
Remember back when Apple was running ads for Chance the Rapper's debut album (Apple Music exclusive) "Coloring Book?" Apple was also pushing a lot into Siri. I can't recall the specifics, but I thought the ad had Chance saying "hey siri play coloring book."
So, I asked Siri the above prompt. Siri took me to Apple Music and played an album with the name "Coloring Book" but by a different artist.
Def. an unfinished project. The killer feature was to step forwards and backwards through executing the code.
I did this back when I was going through ECE 385 and had frontend knowledge but no backend.
Lol, nice. I worked on littlecomputer3.com. I look forward to playing with this!
