Thanks smarx. Also, hi smarx! Been a while! ;)

The $25/user/year increase is if you downgrade to "Standard". To keep the existing features, you need to select the "Advanced" plan, which is a $115/user/year increase!

You're conflating a few different plans here -- "Standard" and "Advanced" are for teams only (minimum of 5 people). The only paid plan available for individuals is "Pro", which no longer offers TFA.

It's also a 92% increase in price for Business plans, for a decrease in storage. Ridiculous.

They can come to Europe, but they cannot work.

Again, that's simply not true. A US employee trying to work in the EU will have just as difficult of a time as vice versa. Please look at the examples I and others have posted.

Sorry, but your assertion that an American can simply come to Europe and work is false. In Germany, like in the UK, you most definitely CANNOT just come over and declare your intention to work. "If you are coming to work in general employment (that is, a job that does not require you to be highly skilled or highly educated), you will need to apply for a residence permit for the purpose of general employment, and you will only be eligible if the position cannot be filled by a worker from the EU/EEA or Switzerland." (from http://www.expatica.com/de/essentials_moving_to/essentials/g...). It's the same in the UK.

Germany _does_ have the "Blue Card", which is similar (at least at the very highest level) to the now discontinued Highly Skilled Migrant Worker / Tier 1 visa in the UK. The Blue Card allows you to work in Germany as long as you have a college degree and make above a certain salary (usually above €45000).

Both of those scenarios are much more involved than the way you described, it however.

That is the piece, but the part being discussed doesn't start until 2:23.

Actually, had another listen (and put it into a DAW). We're both wrong (but I'm more wrong). It's closer to 3+3+3.1+2+2.

The groupings of 2 are delayed, but not by a full 16th note. So it's neither straight 7/8 nor straight 13/16, but a bit in between. Definitely much closer to the 13/16 others are saying, but with enough of a hesitation that a 16th note grid doesn't actually line up. 13.1/16?

Times between notes:

1st accent to 2nd accent: 0.470 seconds

2nd accent to 3rd accent: 0.470 seconds

3rd accent to 4th accent: 0.500 seconds

4th accent to 5th accent: 0.313 seconds

5th accent to 6th accent: 0.306 seconds

I can't agree with that. 3+3+3+2+2 means that the first four notes are all evenly spaced. Tap the accent with your hand. The fourth note is delayed. The pattern is actually 3+3+4+2+2. 7/8.

And the tempo is definitely faster than 194 - it's closer to 212. Are you sure your brother listened to the right track?

This is 7/8. Your counting pattern doesn't line up. If it did, the first group of the "12 12" would hit the accents set up by the groups of 3. In other words, it would be _4_ evenly spaced notes at the beginning of the phrase:

X__X__X__X_X_

Notice how the four first notes each have 2 rests between them? That's not what is in the audio. The groups of two are delayed. The actual counting pattern is: 123 123 1234 12 12

X__X__X___X_X_

Putting the second unaccented note in gets:

XX_XX_XX__X_X_

The correct rhythm is:

| 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ | 1e_a 2_+a __+_ 4_ |

7/8

If you're playing it hand to hand, try this: RRL RRL RRLL RLRL

Try it to a metronome, it's about 212BPM

Except for, you know, the people MAKING stuff.

I also don't think this is pedantry - it's one of the main parts of the article, and it currently doesn't make any sense.
