Unless you have significant starting capital no investment strategy will make you wealthy or financially free. The only way to become wealthy is to work and be very good at what you do. You need at least a million in investment capital to consider advanced solutions and even that amount is a...

As the working week comes to end the usual thoughts about not having to work pop into consciousness at an increasing frequency. So let’s assume you have a million euros, what would you do with your life starting tomorrow?

I agree with that, but it has always been the case. 90% of all human creation is garbage, always has been, even before AI. It may now move to 98% though I think the most important skill of the 21st century is learning to differentiate valuable information from the low quality one. It is the...

Yes, that was actually the function I was talking about. I got mixed up in the different Spotify mix functions (pun intended) :) Exactly!

I will rephrase, it is good compared to the effort required. Of course it is nothing compared to a talented dj:)

This isn’t a very rational argument that completely misunderstands what is instant gratification. We have to differentiate between using a technology/tool/etc as a utility or to chase a quick dopamine hit. It’s like saying that if you grill meat, but you didn’t go hunting or if you take a cab...

How is this about instant gratification?

I completely agree that when looking from the perspective of the entire industry it is probably a net negative. But it is a rare case when within my personal experience AI has given something positive. I don’t have access to classic compilation and this function means that my collection of...

I’ve recently stumbled upon what seems a renewed automix function in Spotify. It works remarkably well! I have a playlist with classic trance tracks and it mixes these 7-9 minute tracks to a very good continuous mix. What are you experiences with it?

Richard Durand in his ISOS days has a lot in common with George W Bush. During the noughties the entire world had discussed that it is unbelievable that such a person was elected president and that it cannot get any worse. Same thing with Durand and ISOS. Hindsight has proven people wrong in...

I love the fact that 3 days after the release not a single person has listened through the first CD 😂

Over the years I have tried many-many times to listen to Schultz’s compilations, but the man has an unbeatable talent for creating mixes where nothing stands out and you just want to fall asleep. After boring everyone from ISOS 14 and ruining ISOS 20 the only thing I was hoping for is for...

If you want to end a day on an optimistic note, which for me is a rarity, then you can always conclude that the current music scene has finally tacitly acknowledged that it is incapable of producing a decent piece of music and has reverted to ripping of classic melodies. I used to agonise a lot...

I haven’t owned a computer or a laptop for 10+ years, as I get by with a phone and an ipad, and I am not as involved with music as I used to be. Thus, I use Spotify for all my needs and it is too much of a hassle to buy music and then deal with its storage and organization. I shudder as I...

The man already put people to sleep for six albums, couldn’t we enjoy being fully awake for the entire jubilee edition. I truly hope that if the series will continue then there will be a new artist leading the charge for 21.

Payback, I want them to feel some consequences. I have tried reasoning for three years and still every month or so I come home to a party. I can put the 15 seconds simply on repeat along with the “sonic boom”, but I thought that the seamless vibration would be more elegant:)

- Anything motorcycle related and especially long trips (e.g month long trip round Scandinavia) - Mountain skiing - History - Good whiskey (vice more than hobby) - Hiking (especially mountains)

Unfortunately it’s not that easy where I live. Smoking on the balconies is not regulated by law and subject to agreement by neighbors. It is a high class building and most people either don’t smoke or smoke outside, however, if you get somebody like this they simply act like assholes. Regarding...

Hi Everyone What follows will be a rather unusual request, but I hope that with so many sound engineers somebody will be able to help me out. I am posting this in off topic, since even though it is sound related it is clearly not music. Anyway, I have a neighbour problem. For a number of...

The laws that you quoted are not precise figures, they simply aim to illustrate that a large majority of something is of low quality and a very small minority of high quality. Additionally, you only have the results for two years, the difference between which can easily reflect normal...
