So a Federal minimum wage DOESN'T make sense, because you say they should force the States to determine the minimum wage. Thus it's not a Federal wage.
Apparently you did nothing more than look at the domain. For if you actually LOOKED at the link, you'd see links to the OSC that state she violated the Hatch act. But no, you'd rather shoot the messenger than accept the message. I guess CNN and MSNBC are the only accepted sources for you, though, so keep that mind shut!
No laws were followed in either case, because President Obama enacted CAFE ratings higher than legislation. President Trump is simply freezing the CAFE requirements at a lower level still in excess of the passed legislation.
Well, it isn't. What would be a fair "livable" minimum wage nationwide - something that would cover San Francisco, CA, and McAllen, TX? SF is 3.4 times more expensive than McAllen... Rather than have a Federal minimum wage, it should be a local - or at highest, State - kind of thing.
Not the first (the USS Sturgis, back in the mid 60s, was the first floating nuclear power plant), and it's actually pretty small at 70 MW (a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is about 3 times that power). But I guess "Russia Russia Russia!" demands media so we can keep the public thinking about Trump and Russia?
I do just that - but I do NOT need to share my address book and other stuff with my car. Just pair versus Bluetooth so I can use the car's microphone and speakers during calls. Nothing else needs to be exchanged to make it work.
Everything you said is correct. And 100% irrelevant to the reason I posted in the first place. You took the original GP to task for stating that "However the other thing the human ear is sensitive to is harmonic frequencies, and if they are missing, it sounds weird." Yet I've presented data - actual, hard measurements - that show harmonics change with materials (wood versus plastic, for an oboe) and that the harmonics - particularly the 2nd and 3rd - have MORE energy than the fundamental, meaning the harmonics comprise most of what you hear.
Now, if you agree that missing harmonics (which can also be those IM'd back down into the audible band) will affect the perceived sound, we're all good. Otherwise, I would like to know what data you have showing that you can edit out harmonics in the audible band and NOT affect the perceived tone/sound quality of an instrument.
RoHS sets limits on what you can have - and it's infinitesimally small levels. RoHS - created and driven by the EC - says you cannot have any residual Hg, Pb, or Cd in your products.
And yet it's all about plastics not degrading? I wonder if MsMash understands that the only way you get heavy metals into plastic is if you're using recycled plastics that were mixed in with heavy metals to begin with. Virgin plastic doesn't use Cd, Hg, or Pb for catalyzing or production of plastic. It's the push for recycled materials that creates the potential hazard.
No, compression is EXACTLY what the RIAA curve is - reduce the low frequency amplitudes so that it will not jump out of the track. In other words, compress the dynamic range in a frequency-dependent method.
Please explain the alternative physics as to how a vibration (fundamental) generates a sympathetic vibration of 2x the frequency (harmonic) at anything other than -6dB per step.
No alternative physics needed! It's something called resonance. A narrow band resonance can easily increase above 0 dB in output. In fact, in the audio world, pretty much every balanced armature (in most in-ear products) is a perfect example of resonance - a narrow band resonance providing output above the nominal pass-band. Did you even LOOK at the link I posted, or are you just being obtuse to try to prove a failed point? Because there are a dozen+ measurements showing the fundamental around -30 dBFS, the 2nd harmonic around -20 dBFS, and the 3rd harmonic around -26 dBFS.
Not sure where your daughter goes to school, but in California (where my numbers were from), the average salary for a teacher is around $67K. With a classroom-spend of $300K, that's around 22% to the teacher. That's a LOT of overhead there, you would think with that kind of spend per room they could give more to teachers - or if not, cut back on the spend per room.
Actually the harmonic does follow an attenuation curve of 6db/oct exactly as I claimed. We were not discussing partials but yes, psychoacoustic studies show our brains will compensate for a missing fundamental. That is a completely different discussion.
Seriously? I posted a link to actual measurements. Explain how harmonics attenuate at 6 db/Octave when the 2nd and 3rd harmonics are above the fundamental. Furthermore look at the graphs themselves and you'll see quite a bit of variation from a pure 6 dB/octave curve - sometimes being 3 dB/octave, sometimes being 18 dB/octave. You've presented nothing other than your own claim, whereas I actually included a link to actual measurements. You're simply wrong.
Do employees include those beyond teachers? I explicitly stated "teacher salary", not including those of administrators, counselors, etc. I'd be surprised if more than 20% of that budget actually went to the teachers.
We can't talk about that... Because how else can we maintain the mantra of "Russia Russia Russia!" if, in fact, the source of the problem is a bunch of rich liberals from San Francisco, selling out data to the "opposition"?
I guess Earthworks and others don't exist? I've designed more than a few recording microphones (high-end and mass-market) and it's quite common to have capsules and mics that record well above 20 kHz, even to 40 or 50 kHz. Now, the preamplifier used, or filtering applied by the engineer may cut that out, but the "best" microphones have no issue at all capturing well beyond human limits.
However the other thing the human ear is sensitive to is harmonic frequencies, and if they are missing, it sounds weird.
Magic fairy dust
No, actually he is correct about spectral content of harmonics affecting perception of the sound. Take a look at any of the papers from Louis Fielder, for example - harmonics not only affect our perception of what the instrument is, but also if it's a preferred sound. When you get into the world of preference, it's no longer just absolute numbers - there's quite a bit of "soft stuff" that goes on in our wetware. Do not make the rookie mistake of confusing objective accuracy with perception!
My theory is
Your theory is in line with every engineer who cannot step over the edge into pseudoscience without being ridiculed. There's no "musical" fundamental that would have an identifiable audible harmonic above 16kHz (B7 is below 8k and harmonic amplitude decreases along a 6db/oct curve) - but if you really played with it then you already know you can put any crap up there.
Please see the lowly oboe. It is a rather pedestrian instrument, but one that has a rather more-common-than-not peculiarity: the fundamental is often lower in level than the 2nd and 3rd (and sometimes, 4th) harmonics! Meaning the harmonics do NOT decrease along the 6 dB/octave curve as you claim, but rather create unique signatures.
Additionally, if you look through this paper on oboe output (and there are many other such papers on lots of instruments) you'll see that the sonic harmonic differences between a wood and plastic oboe are readily apparent - and would go back to the first point, it's those harmonics that make it possible to hear the difference between oboes. A wood oboe will sound "weird" if you are used to plastic oboes, and vice versa. Harmonic structure and all.
Perhaps you were using AC status to hide your own ignorance, but hopefully you've now learned a little bit...
You seem to think that producers/engineers will create two cuts of a recording - one with heavy compression for digital, and one unrestricted for vinyl. How quaint!

We are in 100% agreement - on all points. if a law or regulation doesn't make sense at a Federal level - then it shouldn't exist at a Federal level.
So I can eat it when people are debating about the microwave screwing up their coprocessor - or not...
And let's string up Kathleen Sebelius for Hatch Act violations as well, and also President Obama for refusing to do his duty and allow Sebelius to be prosecuted for her Hatch violation!
I just dial by voice... Works really well!

Maybe his 360 identifies as 180. Did you ever think of THAT, you geometrist?!?!?!
So we need to increase funding because - we need more administrators?
Do employees include those beyond teachers? I explicitly stated "teacher salary", not including those of administrators, counselors, etc. I'd be surprised if more than 20% of that budget actually went to the teachers.
