good morning, it's 3 april 2017

"Bit by bit, Trump methodically undoing Obama policies." As I said early on, their plan is to undo Obama as completely as the South undid reconstruction.

This is how to start a war with China, as McArthur learned: "Trump: US will deal with North Korea with or without China: report"

This is how to start a war with Europe, apparently: "‘We are in a trade war,’ Trump’s commerce secretary says after stern German warning." Not helping: "The U.S. economy just got hit with a disturbing piece of bad news" (though that's not Trump's fault, for once.)

I'm just going to list the Trump stories, sorry - I'm so far behind. The most important one is probably "In Trump Country, Shock at Trump Budget Cuts, but Still Loyalty," which is 100% made up of "I didn't think they'd eat _my_ face" - and yet, they're not even considering changing their minds and would vote for Trump again. Even the ones who say they would LITERALLY DIE from Trump's budget? Sticking to their guns. Insanity:

Our Dishonest President
Trump v. the Earth
Trump tells NBC to stop covering Russia story
In Trump Country, Shock at Trump Budget Cuts, but Still Loyalty
Trump tells NBC to stop covering Russia story
Flynn files new financial paperwork disclosing payments from Russian firms
Flynn made $1.3 million for lobbying, speeches, other work
Judge to Trump: No protection for speech inciting violence
Document Dump Reveals Flynn's Russian And Turkish Income Sources
FBI probing whether Trump aides helped Russian intel in early 2016

These are also Trump, but in different ways:

America’s crisis in governance
The White House Is Being Reset Even Before It Started
Trump’s Lawyers Argue President Is Too Busy for Sexual Misconduct Defamation Lawsuit

And finally, "Bill O’Reilly Thrives at Fox News, Even as Harassment Settlements Add Up."

Good luck out there.

“kohaku” electric test harness nr. 1

Literally the first signals off the electric test harness for Kokahu.

Recording is from a couple of days ago. There have been meaningful additional developments since this, but this is what I’m posting now.

How many electric Irish bouzoukis are there in North America? One more than before last week.

More to come.

a user interface question

In an audio device with a tone knob, and an on/off switch by that tone knob, which “ON” makes more UI sense?

What does "ON" mean?

• [ ] ON: TONE KNOB is on, knob has effect on sound
• [ ] ON: BYPASS is on, knob has NO effect on sound.

This is an honest question. I mean, I’m going to wire it up so that “ON” means “tone knob on,” because that’s how I roll, but I see this go the other way a lot.

(Also in this case “tone knob” means “low pass filter” which means “removes high frequencies” because AND THERE YOU GO. See? SEE?)
