Ah, but can you power all of those from a battery pack and keep them on your lap on the train after taking them out of your small backpack? And all at the same time!
MPC Live has an internal battery

Yes it's expensive in some ways and in others it isn't. Can you get a better synth for the money? Sure. Can you get a better sampler for the money? Sure. Can you get a better sequencer for the money? Sure. Can you get a decent synth, sequencer, and sampler for the money? Well, not necessarily. I'm not saying the price is entirely justified. You certainly pay a lot for the "brand". But on the other hand it might not be as overpriced as one might think by intuition.
Plus, as a owner, I hope price will only go further up, or at least stay on that level :)

Not even close to true. Deluge, MPC Live, AKAI Force are all waaay more capable and cost about the same new as a used OP-1.

Nobody can answer that seriously without knowing your situation in life. Age, family, job, etc.

Can we stop hyping blog posts by tech people writing about epidemiology and medicine? I'm shocked how much baseless speculation and misinformation is being shared on HN.

The site is my personal blog. I thought about writing a more technical level paper, but what I wanted to accomplish is to get this idea in front of a non-scientific audience who can think outside the box (like many of those on HN).
A standard scientific paper will sink without a trace -scientists are just too conservative to take something like this seriously. I hate to say it, but the people who will make something like this a reality are the tech billionaires of this world.
The tech billionaires of this world will not fund anything based on a layman's explanation. They want to fund ideas based on reliable research. The Gates Foundation is staffed with tons of specialists for this reason.

On https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/ there is a big pollution area in Russia, North of Khazakstan. There doesn't seem to be a city. Is this an oil field? One of the patches is at 67 degrees 42' N, 83 degree 47' E.

A Saudi government owned Tesla will lose me as a customer. If you're eager to do business with the Saudi government your moral compass is seriously out of whack.

Hey uhnuhnuhn,
we actually dropped datenschutzhelden.org because of other (mostly time) reasons.
But after we closed it in february, we still would have been legally responsible for the site.
As the project was already dead I decided to go the described path.
So just to be clear: Datenschutzhelden.org was not closed because of GDPR. But keeping the archive of it up and running in a GDRP World was to risky for me.
That makes more sense.
Maybe better to change the article because it states the opposite:
"I found myself at a point where I got so desperate that I was close to taking all of my stuff offline. But in the end I didn’t. I decided for the middle way: For some projects it’s worth the hustle and for others not. One project I ditched was datenschutzhelden.org."
That reads as: GDPR compliance was such a hassle you almost closed all your projects, in the end you only closed some of them and replaced them with WBM.

I've just about had it with these GDPR shitposts on HN.
The website the author talks about (datenschutzhelden.de meaning "data protection heroes") was apparently a platform to share tools and best practices for online privacy. Now it turns out the same guy running that website thinks it's too much hassle to remove Facebook integration and offer a cookie opt-out.
That's truly next level hypocrisy.
