The perfect irony of his maximal free speech ‘your highness’ but allowing no recordings. Completely tracks. “The UK is arresting 30 people a day for offensive speech. I’m sort of always in favor of maximal free speech, but my one concrete test is whether I can talk about the antichrist. If I can’t, that’s too restrictive.”
Article makes it seem like the have no idea of how she got passed TSA checkpoint. If you’ve got off one flight and passed security already then you only have to get past the flight security at the gate. Boom, Free flight to Paris. Almost. “I would’ve gotten away with it too! If it wasn’t for those meddling flight attendants doing there jobs.”
Truly a great show. As mentioned, one of the inciting incidents takes place in the first episode. Although it’s a bit much and makes you want to hit stop. I promise it’s worth it. It’s like a Forrest Gump of the tech industry and tackles so many current issues that we are still dealing with along the way.
I use a couple of different Mac apps. First is the Calibre that converts ePub to pdf so I can use the Highlights app for research. That I can then export to DevonThink3 for organizing and writing of ideas. My favorite writing app is Scrivener and usually the last in my workflow.
I would go with keyboard hacks and short keys commands. Specifically, on Mac, I use Hammerspoon, Karabiner, and Alfred. As we know the amount of time spent moving, pointing and clicking on repetitive tasks is completely wasted time. So, if I find myself doing the the same thing for a project or daily. I’ll make a short key for it. Whether it’s tiling windows, command line (e.g. srbt = sudo reboot), caps locks into super key/escape key... I’ve made it to where almost all the keys are able to be accessed from home row using a layer keys. Think something like SpaceVim for your keyboard.
I'm pretty sure from this article and a Google search this person might not have the best advice. He scoured the Internet so you don't have to, seems laughable. Maybe he should've searched for his podcast first because I can't find his podcast show anywhere on the webpage or the Internet.
As an audio professional for over 30 years I have one question for you. What is one thing that people will stop watching/listening before any other? Yup, it's bad sound. Google did some research on this in the beginning of youTube. People are more likely to stop a video with bad sound than bad video quality. So my recommendation is to spend some money on a decent mic and interface (ADC/DAC) than buying a usb microphone. So as I'm recently starting a podcast of my own I decided starting off I wanted an EV RE20. Standard radio mic for like 50 years or something. For a good reason, high quality sound and the proximity effect is minimal. Which is important when talking on a mic, saves time in post eq because of variable distances guests or you when speaking into the mic during an interview. Now not everyone has $499 to drop on a mic right? So they've also made a cheaper version for $260 called the EV-RE320. That sounds pretty freggin good. There's also the Shure SM7B for $399 which is a pretty damn good standard. Standards are there for a reason because that is literally what you're competing against and what your listeners are expecting. You can check out the comparisons on the web that helped me make a decision other than an erroneous article that seems to be way off base to me.
I have found Audition to be extremely limiting is how I would like a DAW workflow to operate. There are too many problems for me to take it seriously but I really don't have the time to go into at the moment. I would however recommend Reaper after using it for the past 3 years on and off. Although it may not have the prettiest UI it sure can do some amazing things with audio routing that kinda makes it ahead of the game in a lot of ways. I have spent many years in front of Protools and although I still have a soft spot for its ease of use, they kinda just started pricing themselves out of the market for me upgrading towards my needs as I'm not a professional studio engineer anymore.
So here's my suggestion within the author's cheap equipment budget of $369-439: Take the $240/yr you're going to spend on Audition and buy the EV-RE320 and Reaper. That leaves you with $40 towards your mixer (if you plan on having multiple guests in your studio) and audio interface which will cost you around another $200. Just my brief ideas of how to spend the money better and get a better sound. Now as far as the content well that's up to you!
