If you're talking about the actual guts of a piano with the stings attached, tuned, and not damped, but free to vibrate, then I don't think that's reverberation, that's re-radiation.
Did you seriously not spot that as satire, even after the inclusion of the parenthetical part of the last paragraph implying that he was too stoned to hear the difference?
No, it still makes no sense, even if all involved know that we're talking about dynamic range.
But they do it anyway to make the cd's sound "louder", and wind up with cd's that sound worse.
Which wouldn't be all that bad if it was just new releases, but they take stuff that was released on cd in the early to mid '80s and "re-master" it for cd again, only this time all that amounts to is running it through a compressor/limiter, so if you finally get around to getting the cd version of some old album from way back when, you have to either know to go hunt down the original cd release or you wonder why it sounds so much worse than what you remember coming from your turntable.
Well, multiplication in the sense that you put 2 frequencies in and get 4 out, the other 2 being the sum and the difference of the first two, with only the difference being of any use in an IF strip.
I suppose that one could argue that the sum and difference then beat against each other and the first 2, and the results of that beat against everything, and the results of that...
But that would be true of 2 frequencies of sound in the same room as well.
Of course reverb is more about reflections at the same frequency being in or out of phase with the original tone and the sound produced by the addition or cancellation caused by that, as well as the "echo" (same Hz, but time-shifted).
Those are basically the same thing that hot soldering iron recommended a little further up the page, except for about the same price you get 50 of them instead of 6.
I used to use them to keep Low-Z mic cables coiled when the mics weren't in use and to keep KVM cables bunched and tool power cords from snaking out to try to get tangled up with each other.
If you're going to spend nearly a dollar each you might as well get the multicolor pack. Check Lowes or Home Depot if you're allergic to Wal-Mart.
I haven't had a need to do this, but suppose I buy a TV from some online place using my CC. It's shipped, and I've paid sales tax on the shipping. Okay, I return it for some reason, for a CC refund.
Do I receive a refund for the sales tax paid for its original shipping, or is that lost forever?
You returned the TV, but you didn't return the shipping. You "consumed" it.
(return shipping is not the same as returning the shipping)
If you mean a piece of paper that proves how you voted--not that you voted, but how--it would make a secret ballot impossible.
Imagine if all of your co-workers "voluntarily" showed theirs to the boss. And your circumstances are such that losing that job would mean you'd be out in the street.
That could be, but I'll believe nearly anything bad said about voting machines, regardless of the source. They are pretty much designed to allow massive cheating without any possibility of verification.
And the major manufacturers of them are all Republicans.
"Capitalism" is where the rich are the only "useful" members of society, as capital is used to make things. You must own a press to make a book. The poor don't have presses or the money to buy one. So cutting taxes on the producers will get you more presses, thus more books for less money.
But give the money to the poor, and they'll never make anything with it.
I'm not saying I agree with that stance, but I at least try to
Give the money to the poor, and maybe they'll have enough to buy books, which will make owning a press worth the investment.
If no one has the money to buy books, what's the point in investing in a press?
the idea is that if you give money to wealthy people and corporations, they will use it to expand or build new companies...
Why would they do that, unless there was demand? And if there's demand, someone is going to try to come up with ways to make money meeting that demand, they don't have to be bribed to do so.
But if there's demand, that is, someone who wants something and has the money with which to pay for it, somebody else who wants that money is going to hustle to come up with that for which the demand exists.

Welcome and apologies for my US-centric short-sightedness.

"Given the choice, a garage with a car parked in it will probably sound better than an empty one."
Well, if it's a cherry '57 Chevy with the original optional mechanical fuel injection, then sure.
Although nothin' beats the effect on the sound that a 59 Caddy's tail fins have.
Did you seriously not spot that as satire, even after the inclusion of the parenthetical part of the last paragraph implying that he was too stoned to hear the difference?
Go google "loudness wars".

If you create an interference pattern between two high frequency waves, one of the results, the difference, is a lower frequency wave.
The other one, the sum, is an even higher frequency.
Of course if the first two waves are of frequencies above the range we call "sound" the sum will be as well.
The difference might be below, within, or above the range we call "sound", depending on the frequencies chosen.

s/company/state/
You do realize that amazon doesn't get to keep the sales tax, right?
After they add all the sales together and pay the state whatever the sales tax percentage is on the total, there's probably some left over.
Long ago in a childhood far away when there were such things as 10 cent candy bars and comic books, NC had a 3% sales tax.
Buy a candy bar and a comic book, pay 21 cents.
Do it 5 times, pay $1.05
Store reports $1.00 in sales to state, pays them 3 cents, keeps 2.
Depends on your definition of services.
If you rent tools, you pay sales tax on the rental here in The Old North State.

So tell me again what this has to do with science and technology???
If the Republicans get what they want, we won't be able to afford to do either.
...Think people will play NFL football for $35,000 a year?...
I'm sure there are any number of people currently unemployed who'd jump at that chance.
The catch, of course, is that they probably couldn't perform the job as well as those currently making considerably more by doing so.
Captain Renault of the Casablanca police phoned in to say that he was shocked, shocked I tell you, that such a thing could happen.
If profits are re-invested in the business, they're expenses, and they reduce the taxable income.

When Stein agrees with Krugman, you know things have gotten weird.
Supply usually doesn't create demand.
But if there's demand, that is, someone who wants something and has the money with which to pay for it, somebody else who wants that money is going to hustle to come up with that for which the demand exists.
