monster was the biggest, nastiest bunch of litigious jerks in the entire tech industry

the patriarch who owns/runs monster was contacted by dre/iovine about working with them on a headphone product

patriarch puts failson in charge of the negotiations (its time he learned the family business after all)

failson goes down to los angeles and immediately gets sized up by dre and iovine as an easily-rolled rube

dre and iovine proceed to dazzle him with meetings with famous musicians and celebrities and parties and booze (and, it has been strongly implied, drugs and sex)

failson, with his head spinning, is too busy having a good time to pay close attention to the details of the deal he is negotiating. he has hit it off incredibly well with all these famous people, surely the deal his new best friends are mostly driving will be fine

the deal he negotiates and signs ends up being ruinous to monster. unbreakable, have to produce an uncapped number of headsets at a loss, they dont own any of the technology they developed for the headphones, they cant even compete with them

as soon as monster came into contact with the real sharks who run the music industry, they got effortlessly boned and filleted and devoured

I use Room EQ Wizard with a Dayton UMM-6 to measure stuff and generate some basic minimum phase filters. Then I export that to rePhase to turn those instead into linear phase filters, and drag some sliders around to even out weird phase/group delay stuff. It will do some math and spit out a filtered impulse response that you can throw into something like Equalizer APO for PCs, Viper or JamesDSP on android, or obviously a dedicated DSP if you have one nice enough to support impulse response correction. If I'm doing multiple discrete channels in a weird configuration like a car, I'll use REW again with the filters active to measure for time delay again and get the soundstage right. It looks pretty daunting at first but it's pretty easy and cheap and fast and extremely effective.

the thing that killed any interest in rails for me was a conference i went to in like uh 2006 where the presenter was doing a live demo of how easy it was to create a CRUD rails app from the command line or whatever and it kept failing over and over. it took like half an hour for him to debug the problem.

motherfucker had written a goddamn book on rails (on a reputable publisher iirc) and still was falling all over himself trying to get it to work
