You couldn't use a similar setup because it's highly unlikely the sound was omnidirectional like a gunshot. All your sound sensors would pick up near silence. Plus if it was a constant and consistent sound that wouldn't work from a timed location perspective either. You could probably determine a direction, if you had actual gear at the location where it was focused.
I think that is much more likely myself also, for that and the additional reasons that powerful low frequency sounds are harder to generate with compact equipment and harder to direct as well. But with the limited info I can't really rule out lower frequencies.
Counter protests are quite American and should continue. However if things turn out badly, only the perpetrators of actual crimes should be arrested. This grouping up and arresting everyone, often starting with journalists and observers using recording equipment, and often with bogus charges, is some seriously facist crap that needs to be shut down yesterday.
I certainly did not do this, nor vote for anyone who signed off on this crap. Try spouting off extremist Islamic crap in the USA and you are just going to be even more hated, it actually does the opposite and ignites fear and anger against them. Direct calls for violence are not protected under free laws, but that wouldn't stop someone like yiannopolous from speaking.
I disagree. Curtailing and denying hate speech, doubly so borderline hate speech, only enables and motivates these groups to further action. They can point to these incidents and proclaim they are being oppressed and plead for people to take action. If you let them speak, it's not going to sway many people, more than likely it will just make them even more unpopular and marginalized. I'll go as far as saying the reason a fake populist was elected is due in large part to the ridiculous PC crap that has attempted to curtail honest discussion of the (albeit minor) issues addressing the white working and middle classes. Plus this is a slippery slope as broadening the definition to those levels means you can more easily implement an authoritarian government.
I'm all for free speech, also I am of the opinion that contemporary hate speech restriction goes too far. You marginalize these groups by letting them talk and no one cares, or perhaps people then view them unfavorably. You enable and motivate them by trying to deny them a platform and curtail free speech. That said you do have to admit that trump is tearing this country apart with divisiveness so polarizing even republicans can't get along. And that his speech causes both short term damage to some people who even hear him talk, and long term damage to American democracy.
Those recordings are likely just intermodulation products. Basically they occur because of how differences in the frequencies used appear as separate frequencies themselves, both from imperfections in how the sound is created, transmitted, and the natural way sound behaves. The actual frequencies used were likely above and perhaps even below what regular audio recording would pick up. For example my cellphone signal has on occasion been picked up on nearby wired phones as audiable clicking, due to the modulation being in the human hearing range, even though the carrier frequency is 3+ orders of magnitude too high to hear.
Sound experts and physicians say they know of no sound that can cause physical damage when played for short durations at normal levels through standard equipment like a cellphone or computer.
Obviously these people have never heard Trump speak. I actually envy them
It's mostly algebra and some summations in the formulation, and a bit of linear algebra in the lagrangian. Most of the variables are defined, though not all which is a pet peeve of mine. The math itself isn't hard, high school students are taking this material. Knowing the implications are different though, it's like how the rules of go are simple, but mastery of the game
Can take a lifetime.
I read the Wikipedia article on the electroweak force. It wasn't bad, the formulation and lagrangian sections are understandable by anyone with an undergraduate understanding of calculus, you don't even need a background in physics (though you would to understand the implications). It's actually less arcane in my opinion than some other sources that do a poor job of defining each variable rather than assume you can figure it out on your own. That said there is room for a basic tl;dr of the article which is absent from most technical articles on Wikipedia.
When even Fox News reports that it may be directly and immediately profitable to prevent such a disaster then we have some hope as a species. After all the initial investment would be less than 0.5% of our military budget, it would make money by generating electricity, and the reality is Yellowstone has the potential to level America to smoking ruins with a far far far higher probability than some malnourished idiots with an assault rifle or two on the other side of the planet.
Indeed. All federal funding for the National Science Foundation, which is the vast majority of all government investment in science research (outside of NASA which was 11.3B) is just 5.67 billion dollars for everything. That includes everything from researching Yellowstone to robotics to stem. The majority isn't even spent on hard sciences but rather integrating groups. We are talking grant money of maybe 100k here. Put that into perspective with 824 billion for the military. I'd say 0.000012% of our defense spending is very well spent on something that really could level most of America to smoking ruin, unlike some rag tag terrorists we helped create ourselves to have an excuse to wage wars that financially reward key players. Hell, I'd even up that to 0.001% and still call it financially sound.
But what the hell, let's compare self driving cars that only operate in perfect daytime sunny conditions, mostly on pre-planned routes with light traffic only making right hand turns with freezing rain pileups and rush hour traffic drama. Then declare self driving cars more safe. I haven't seen a single apples to apples comparison of safety where the autonomous cars drive only in the same conditions as humans when measuring safety.
How about offering a $100m dollar prize payout to each of the first 100 fatalities caused by thier faulty cars. Ohhh, the computer has fancy sensors and can't make math mistakes so it's impossible! Do that and I'd trust them a little.
You can force companies to come and compete by 1) forcing any isp that used public funds to lay cable/fiber to allow competition and 2) remove laws banning government installations and allow cities to install cable/fiber and then allow competition. Basically just remove the monopolies that currently exist. I live in an area with millions of people the vast majority of which have exactly 1 choice of high speed internet, Comcast. That should
Never have happened.
As in municipalities can't build their own infrastructure, nor is anyone else allowed to compete. In cases where competition is legal, collusion isn't and companies just divide up the region and everyone charges triple fair market value. Can't let the socialists win by breaking up monopolies and forcing net neutrality, id rather pay triple for 1/4 the speeds and willingly give up my right to a free, fair, and neutral internet./s

Nah his cussing was unoriginal, not loud enough, wasn't in a public setting, and had a disturbing lack of spittle. I'd have fired him too.

His political divisiveness manifests in the highest overall changeover rate of whitehouse staff in American history at this point in his presidency, no meaningful legislation, no kept promises, a historic low approval rating for a modern president, and the largest approval rating margin between democrats and republicans of any president since polls were a thing. That last one is a direct measurement of divisiveness. Wanting your conservative views heard is American, supporting a fake populist who is just sabotaging this country to create massive tax cuts for the 0.01% wealthiest Americans and key players is both idiotic and not in 99.9% of the populations best interests.

Good to know that a physical brain isn't responsible for feelings and emotion, nor that anyone has been swayed to violence by his words.

When in reality it just boiled down in the end to:

Autonomous car makers get the the house to relax nearly all regulations on autonomous cars. Now they want us to just trust them? I don't even trust the senate isn't as well paid off and this will become law.
Neither the slashdot nor the linked article said "half the normal matter". That's why I linked the actual arrive paper.
So by half the matter in the universe, we are taking 2.0-2.3% tops.

Are they at least going to update my NSA backdoors that kaspersky removed?
