You know that Europe is passing big new laws to make that illegal, right? If they do that and some employee blows a whistle on them then they're in deep trouble.
Meanwhile, the USA just watches. Where are their laws?
Absolutely disagree. Waves, even sound waves in nature take shape of sine wave in time/movement domain. When you describe a 22khz sine wave at 44khz sampling frequency, your output describes a sawtooth, not a sine. To properly describe a sine wave, you need at least 4 times higher sampling frequency, 8 times higher is much better.
Nope. You didn't watch the video enough times.
a) It would be a triangle wave, not a sawtooth. and b) All waves are a series of summed sine waves. A sawtooth wave is a sine wave with harmonics. The (low pass) reconstruction filter gets rid of all the harmonics and leaves you with... the sine wave!
a) If vinyl is "warmer" then that's just distortion b) 44.1kHz, 16bits is absolutely enough for reproduction. There may be a case for using 48kHz to help with making real-world reconstruction filters but that's it. You absolutely do not need more than that for listening.
a) A real coder would brag about "16k RAM" (or less). 48K was much later on.
b) No computer ever ran at 1.023 MHz. It was either a nice multiple of 1Mhz or maybe a multiple of 3.579545Mhz (ie. using the TV output circuit's color clock crystal to drive the CPU).
Slashdot Mirror
Seriously, what "Bad Thing" will happen to me if Facebook knows my shopping and browsing history?
It has to be all about YOU, right?
It couldn't be about other people, people who don't want their community to find out they're gay (or atheist).
etc.
You're not the spokesperson for the internet. Go and rethink your position.
Yep. From reading that blog I fail to see how this new experience is different from (Alt)PrintScrn followed by pasting into Windows Paint.
It looks like the Microsoftee who typed that blog (the one I copied/pasted the quote from) is using an Apple product to type his apostrophes.
...unless they don't use it in *everything*.
Maybe they could only use it in important things, like bridges.
Or maybe they could have more than one machine making it. Multiple machines in parallel would make more.
Yes, but this isn't just a screenshot, it's a whole new "experience"!
Today weâ(TM)re taking the first step toward converging our snipping experiences. The new modern snipping experience is here...

This is Slashdot, I wasn't expecting them to actually provide a link to the article instead of some paywalled, third-hand news source.
You know "terrorist" is a metaphor, right?
Then again, this is 2018. They probably did it in Python or something.
5,038,848,000,000 points is nothing on a modest PC (eg. An i7 with 8 cores at 3GHz is 24,000,000,000 clock cycles per second).
I can't imagine it took more than a few minutes to run.
Goldman will not initially be buying and selling actual Bitcoins... a variety of contracts linked to the price of Bitcoin.
So they'll only be selling futures or something, probably CFDs (a way of losing even more money than ordinary futures).
Yeah, acting like they thought of it, that they're being good people.
They're not running scared, Nope.

Yes, there's no way a boss/politician could ever look at that and think, "I bet we could use that for finding terrorists..."
Warmth isn't necessarily good.
Lots of people don't want 'warm' sound. They don't like it.
Oh no, this is utterly wrong. You can clearly hear the difference between sine, square, and saw waves very easily at any audible range
Nope.
You might have a chance with a sawtooth up to about 10kHz but you can't possibly hear any of the harmonics of a 10kHz square/triangle wave.
You also didn't watch the video enough times before hitting 'reply'...

Let me check...
Hey, you're right. There was one 6502 machine that ran at 1.023MHz. Who knew?
That particular machine didn't have 48K RAM though. So there.
Tubes change the sound, making it "warmer".
Warmth = distortion, yes.
The placebo effect is real, too. You can actually cure illness with sugar pills!
Bottom line: If analog sound is better in their heads then it really is better (for them).
+several million, informative.

Disagree? Please watch this several times before hitting 'reply':

a) Aren't cars made of metal shielding? Don't ECU's have shielding of their own?
b) Don't they have people inside them? What happens when 300kW of microwave power hits the meat?
I can tell you're faking that knowledge:
a) A real coder would brag about "16k RAM" (or less). 48K was much later on.
b) No computer ever ran at 1.023 MHz. It was either a nice multiple of 1Mhz or maybe a multiple of 3.579545Mhz (ie. using the TV output circuit's color clock crystal to drive the CPU).
And they haven't figured out Private Registration?
Maybe they just don't enjoy being extorted to pay extra for what should be the default setting.
This law redresses that, it's a good thing.
There's nothing wrong with whois,
the data that is in there, is there with a good reason,
No it isn't.
It might have been back when the only people who ran web sites were big corporations but that was 30 years ago.
