"human ears can't possibly hear the difference between a sine wave and a sawtooth wave at 22 kHz"
Oh no, this is utterly wrong. You can clearly hear the difference between sine, square, and saw waves very easily at any audible range (and I can hear 22+ khz - I can hear bats and dog whistles, though in about 5 years that capability will be gone as my hearing degrades.) Anyone with a 3xOSC can demonstrate this all day to you. Hell, anyone that does basic MIDI composition can demonstrate this to you.
Your youtube video sucks and doesn't even make any real-world measurements between any albums. Try one that does actual measurements - http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/...
Vinyl can beat the shit out of a CD because of a higher inherent dynamic range due to lack of loudness wars compression. The only real problem is sound degradation due to the way the media is played and affected by vibration. Oh, but wait, we've got lasers now that can read the grooves and act just like an analog needle!
Sorry, but what you guys practice in THEORY rarely holds up to real-world application.
"4. I stated that's not the case because these records get discovered during the court case."
"I don't feel like I lack very much thank you."
you obviously lack the fact that many can't afford to PAY A COURT to compel people to hand over identifying information. Thus the GPDR by default fucks over people who need to access that information.
You haven't been in court enough, by any means, because you're missing a lot.
Try again when you've been dragged in and out of courtrooms for over 30 years from child custody to DRM cases (Kicked Electronic Arts Ass) criminal cases and more. You being an expert witness means exactly jack shit and if this was a minor to your degree you got a very lacking education.
"I frequent casinos for work in vegas all the time"
Try California where we are a whole lot more strict, and even simply changing your lighting in a casino from incandescent to LED requires a full review from the GC.
I install the lighting. I have to chat with CAGC every single fucking time.
"Your network administrator and IT department need to be fired and replaced with people who know what they are doing."
You go into any casino talking that nonsense and the Gaming Commission of almost every state, if not the Feds, would utterly rape you in court and then bar you from ever working in that field ever again.
There are places where full physical security of the device is an absolute requirement, right down to every port being behind a physically-locked plate and literally every cable tied down and locked.
Those are located inside giant lepidolite pegmatites and dikes, and many of those were found to be using illegal labor, mostly coming out of Indonesia.
"Lithium can be extracted from lepidolite, but not much actually is."
That's because it has more value as a lapidary material despite the very high lithium concentrations within what is essentially a massed mica body.
"The summary published actually doesn't contain anything I submitted, nor did I submit anything that it contains."
I think it's about time a lawyer got involved because the editorialization has gone beyond anything reasonable. This literally amounts to them using your idea, your story, but literally everything stated is put into your mouth as if you had actually said it when you did not, ever.
Especially when the comments and such are supposed to be owned by the poster, which means they could've said some actionable and libelous shit, and been "That's how he submitted it." Now your ass is on the hook for their editorialization, which contains none of your original content.
No, this runs too close to being akin to identity theft in my book, and really msmash and anyone else on/. staff should probably consult with their lawyers on the legalities of what I just discussed, because this is serious. And they should probably make a full-out pinned story/apology for such bullshit.
"Lithium is extracted from salt flats or brine. Neither process uses either children or slaves"
Lithium is also extracted from lepidolite, which is in fact extracted in many countries with slave labor (which is incidentally children looking for lithium-borate gems within those lepidolite bodies.)
"He is a violently psychotic unmedicated mentally ill lunatic who has never made a single cogent post in all the time I've noticed his particular brand of insanity."

You must simply not read, or you're too stupid to comprehend anything which you do read.
I see you have dust in your shift, o, r, and spacebar keys. And your spell-checker doesn't fully function. You might want to go talk to Apple about that.
What they were talking about involved a heat sink on an LED. Wanna know why we put the heat sink above the LEDs in almost every design, screw-in bulbs excepted? Give you a hint - heat rising through the LED would destroy it.
Please know what exactly is being talked about. Radiation was not it. They were talking about controlling the heat that destroys LEDs.
"LED lights so far don't seem particularly better than CFLs. They certainly don't seem to be lasting longer."
90+ lumens per watt typical (with CHEAP LEDs) beats the shit out of CFL typical 50-70 lumens per watt. 5+ years I've had my ultra cheap $0.99 LED bulbs in my fixtures, not a single one has needed replacing.
"LED light life span needs fixed for consumers in some way. I'm just not entirely sure how."
Well, you don't design LED systems like I do, so you should probably stop wondering, because such a thing was done over a decade ago.
"radiate the heat down "
Heat rises, moron. You would need an active air system to push hot air downwards.
"Your certainly not radiating the heat upwards"
Thermodynamics would like to have a word with you. Insulation gets warm, too. You do know what thermal conductivity is, yes?
"All that is expensive of course, but the current screw in LED is crap, I've had to replace at least a half dozen in the last year, and it is not my power."
Quit buying highly-advertised 'name brand' garbage and get the cheap shit. The only non-LED lighting in my home is the specialty-socket downlight in my over-range microwave.

"BURNED in is the right word"
Nope, almost all of these cards had been undervolted and dropped to lower operating temps and below typical power specs.
But I guess you don't bother reading crypto mining tweak guides, let alone fucking read at all.
"That is not how GPUs work you fucking moron."
That is pretty much how any burn-in of any piece of electronic equipment is performed, you fucking moron.
Wonder which system they're going to use, CDMA or GSM? One's gonna likely have to go, and with it, all those cellphones hooked up to that network.
Are cowardly thieving fucks. This shit wouldn't have flown in any jurisdiction except their own.
"No requirement for civil proceedings requires personal information to be posted publicly."
Oh boy I can tell you've never done SHIT in court, because once the proceedings are done, ALL OF THAT INFO IS MADE PUBLIC FUCKING RECORD.
Care to try again, oh ye of obviously lacking civic duty?

"If the content is illegal, tell the police."
Are you too fucking stupid to know the difference between criminal and civil liabilities?
"Why is there a need any of that to be public information?"
I refer you to my first question asked in this post.
"The summary published actually doesn't contain anything I submitted, nor did I submit anything that it contains."

"Try AWS Route 53. $11 domains including privacy."
And when that domain is found to be conducting illegal activities? I guess Amazon would then need to be held responsible for aiding and abetting.

What makes you think a bunch of niche markets wouldn't already add up to billions of consumers? Do you think only a few exist or something?
Every market fills a niche.

"There is not a single well-to-do liberal."
FTFY.
There are tons of niche minorities that would make this economically viable.
Live stone cutting.
Live mining.
Live POV guitar lessons.
Live concert video from POV of players/conductor.
Plenty of educational and industrial and entertainment uses.

"you are bankrupt if you don't own gold or blockchain coin."
LOL @ your non-physical commodity. I don't accept bitcoin in exchange for black opal. Gold, yes.
Bitcoin requires too much to be actually useful. Physical items work in the middle of nowhere without internet connection or power.
Bitch, please. Real nerds do black opal, at $25K+ per 0.2 grams.
Now get off my mineral rights claim, and buy some black opal!
