Nice, thanks for the link. When I built the Pi solution the only other reasonable way I found to do that was to take apart a pair of Sony bluetooth earbuds. The car Pi also does some other stuff, like interfacing with OBD, but a cheap bluetooth receiver is handy.
It's bluetooth audio, in a car. It doesn't have to be great. If you like spending money then yes, you could absolutely spend whatever you like, from $2 to $10,000 on a DAC.
I built a bluetooth receiver for my car out of a Raspberry Pi. You can buy them too, except they cost $80 instead of the $20 I paid. It's much nicer than an audio cable.
When there's less shipping required smaller ships have an advantage because they can take less cargo more often, and they can be more flexible about where they take it. The biggest ships may also not fit through the Suez or Panama canals, so have to take the long way around.
Shippers compete based not only on how much it costs to get your sea can of widgets somewhere, but also how long it takes.
The GP didn't say anything about planned economies. He was replying to a post that mentioned regulation. There's lots of evidence that some regulation makes economies more efficient.
There is a market for bootlegs made with a cell phone simply paired with a microphone that doesn't suck. And it's probably easier to tell security guards to go for cell phones than it is to get them to look for all the things a microphone can look like.
Kind of like the tax credits you get for giving money to charity?
That is pretty much a subsidy. It just gives the individual taxpayer the choice about who specifically gets the subsidy.
Note that I think Tesla has done a good job of using those "subsidies" exactly as they were intended: to develop the technology and infrastructure to make modern electric cars more practical.
And yet the OP is correct, it could fly, under it's own power. Perhaps just not for very long. Or add bigger, more efficient wings, fly slower, and you can get the required power down almost as low as you care to go. It's not like he proposed turning it into a helicopter.
Most cameras have filters to narrow their spectral sensitivity to more or less the visual range but general purpose cameras virtually always have significant sensitivity in the near infrared that's outside human vision. Your cell phone camera can probably see the IR light from a remote control, for example.
"Americans" is the collective term for citizens of the United States of America. "'Murricans" is a mild slur of "Americans." Americans are collectively responsible for this ass holding office. As such, he's representing you to the world when he says that the rest of the world is too dumb to implement encryption without American help.
Use of the slur seems reasonable in this case. If you collectively don't like it, get rid of the jerk. If you individually don't like it, stop taking criticism of the collective personally. Perhaps you like feeling proud of being an American when your country does something good, but you'd rather pass the buck when they do something asinine?
It's fairly common custom to use the name of a country when referring to official actions undertaken by that country. For example, "the US invaded Iraq."
In the specific case of a democracy, official policy is determined by the government, which is elected by the citizenry, so collective responsibility for national activities can be ascribed to those citizens, if you're into that kind of thing.
Negative twenty years? Lots of open source encryption packages were started by non-Americans and specifically hosted outside the US in the 90s because of US export restrictions.
Android itself is open source. Anyone can download it. It's mirrored extensively outside the US. In terms of actual devices, by far the largest providers of those are non-American companies.
Android itself uses a linux cryptography library. Those libraries are likewise open source and extensively mirrored. Of the ones that could actually be said to have a particular nationality, most of them are not the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
Seems like Android is an excellent example of how this guy is wrong.
Why does he have to root for a team? The US has a history, especially in cryptography, of assuming that the rest of the world is hopelessly behind them. Remember the export ban on strong cryptography? Remember the t-shirts with the RSA algorithm printed on them? This is just another aspect of the same thing. If the US doesn't provide the crypto, there's nobody else to get it from. Obviously.

Perhaps you need to take your speech recognition library out more.
Computer, what's the current location of Ensign Expendable Blonde?
Computer, search the database for "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra."
And most amazingly, translation. Audio to audio even.

I replaced my own for about $30. Then I did it again because at $30 you're less careful with them.

Which Star Trek? My smartphone can do a lot of the stuff that the Enterprise computer was shown doing.
"Where the hell is the petition to remove his name from the ship..."
It was a good rant until you finished off by suggesting removing some paint from a ship and replacing it with some other paint.

People will watch anything on YouTube.

Don't use power levels that cause that audience's eyes to heat up to 40 degrees.

There's a pretty big market for concert bootlegs. And there has been since audio recording was invented. Wikipedia suggests even longer than that.

No, I'm saying that lots of phones running Android isn't a good example of the "practical truth" of there not being any encryption outside the US.
Of COURSE the baseband is compromised.

Yeah, I had that thought as well. Except I think I'll start a bank.

That cart has left the horse. US export laws caused much of the cryptography business to move out of the US decades ago.
