The interference patterns caused by high (or low) frequencies interacting with the audible frequencies are both audible and inaudible.
An recording recording will have all those interference patterns recorded as part of the overall resultant signal.
The entire signal is processes by the compressor - highs and lows are removed because they are inaudible, but any interference patterns they created in the audible range will still be present. Cutting off the high/low end does not undo whatever effects the original sources for those frequencies had in the audible band.

Preserving highs and lows beyond our hearing range only matter during mixing, which happens before compression.
Studios know what they're doing and generally won't resort to mixing compressed samples.
Some older games however had no choice but to use compressed samples because of storage restrictions, and as a result can sound like ass if there are too many channels firing at once.

The modern violins aren't designed to sound good or correct - they're designed to sound like the old violins because that's what people think violins should sound like. A "perfect" violin would likely sound like ass to most people. It's basically the audio version of the uncanny valley, except the valley is on the "too good" side instead of the "not quite good enough" side.

There's nothing wrong with preferring the type of sound of those old violins make, because that preference is subjective. It just means it's not impressive for an old violin to sound like a brand new violin that was designed to imitate the sound of the old violin. It also means it's ridiculous when people claim to prefer the old violin over the new one designed to sound like it after it's been proven they can't actually hear a difference.

It's a double blind test. Elitists can't pick out the over priced, over hyped thing from the other things. What more do you want?

Audiophiles, wine connoisseurs, art critics, and fashion designers are the masters of bullshit. They even trump holistic healers and political/religious leaders/zealots.

If you have ever conducted business, you would know that there is always a negotiation phase.
If you have ever conducted business, you would know that dyn.com would love this approach as long as the number of users joining dyn.com from FreeOptionB exceeded the number of FreeOptionA users leaving. Right now many people are deciding between paying or finding another free option. If you provide a free option and then ship them off to dyn.com and present them with the same option, some percentage are going to decide to pay so they don't have to deal with this a third time. That percentage decreases as you get to the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. times, and the value of the exercise decreases along with it.

I take it you're not familiar with ticketmaster and ticketsnow . They do the same shit and sweep their affiliation under the rug as much as legally possible. Instead of shuffling users around they shuffle the product around to maximize gouging. When you think of dyn.com's free users and the users of the other free service you offer and plan to sell off to dyn.com as the product, it matches up perfectly.

Pay the Toll or Take the Free Road
  - You profit when people Pay the Toll
  - If you control the Free Road you basically get to bully people into making that choice again and dealing with the cost of Paying the Toll vs. the inconvenience of finding a Free Road that stays free.

They have my cable modem's MAC address.
And if my cable modem sends out my router's MAC address, they have whatever MAC address I want to send out.
Many routers let you specify a specific MAC, and many that don't let you clone the MAC of the first device connected behind it, which itself is often configurable via the driver or the BIOS/EFI.

Most electric vehicles have a rated range of about 80 miles. The Tesla S with the big battery gets 200. (CR listed between 180 and 220 depending on weather, ac/heater, etc.. "Max Range" charging is not something you want to do to your car regularly, and even if you do use it for a long trip, it's offset by the fact that the 200 rating is based on a new battery.)

200 miles on the freeway will take 3 hours.

If you have a battery that isn't brand new, are driving at 5-10 MPH over the limit (everyone does it), or dare to use the AC/heater/radio/etc., your time to recharge will drop considerably. Remember that you get hit twice for speeding - once for being less efficient and twice for going the same distance in less time. Add in a small buffer to make sure you get to the charging station BEFORE you run out of juice, and you'll be stopping to charge every 2 to 2.5 hours.

I don't need/want a pit stop that often.

I'd be using the range estimator and driving too fast / too slow in an effort to get the earliest arrival time.
Speeding may be overall worse in terms of efficiency, but it's not always worse in terms of arrival time (and it's not always better).

I'd rather speed and waste some energy IF it means I'm a stopping a few miles later (or a few minutes earlier) AND my stop will be long enough to (fast)charge fully - for example if I'm getting food and a fast charge can be done in 30 minutes.

I'd rather drive slow if it means the longer travel time is offset by having to do 1 less charge stop before I reach my destination.

I'd be gaming my speed and route because I don't want to be stopping for 30 minutes at a time more than once per 6 hours when I'm hungry / need to evacuate my various organs. I'll be buying an EV when a non-super-expensive one can get about 130 miles per charge in real-world use (my longest typical trip is about 110 miles). For longer trips, one pit stop is fine since I'll grab food, but a second pit stop means I'm burning time for no reason while cars with gasoline stay on the road making progress toward their destination.

The amount of energy they require is huge. Even if you slapped solar paneling all over the car and managed to eke out 200 W, you'd only extend range of the Tesla by about 0.7% assuming a generous 3 hours worth of range at freeway speeds. (200 W / (85 kWh / 3 h)).

Battery swaps are the only answer to the range problem for the foreseeable future.

This is what has become of Slashdot.

That's a nice shitty little cliche to teach high school kids but it's not true at all. The first amendment guarantees that my speech an never (legally) be restricted, constrained, repressed, silenced, censored, etc. by the government. Never. The fact that it happens all the time doesn't mean my rights legally have stoppign and starting points, it means the government is broken and is illegally shitting on me.

What's next? You're going to tell me about the "social contract"? Hint - there is one social contract - the law.

Others in the house / same building may have heard the alarm but did not see the flames or the person fighting with them. When the alarm is quickly shut off, they assume it was a false alarm. But if the alarm shuts off and the fire is still going those people are screwed.

You cannot rely on the first responder (who is likely the idiot who started the fire) to take appropriate action. Even if the alarm retriggers in 10 seconds, or if people notice the fire or the flailing idiot after 10 seconds, that's still 10 seconds wasted. 10 seconds is the difference between a call to Servpro and the loss of 6 apartment units. 10 seconds is the difference between a few burns and smoke inhalation and death.

There's a reason we don't allow commercial/industrial fire alarms to be deactivated by anyone but the fire department.

Worse than that, it will easily happen when the first person near the fire starts waving their arms about in response to the fire (either in panic, trying to smother it, etc.).

Apparently you didn't RTFS either.
Wifi-connected units can be patched. Others can be patched manually by the user. Clueless users without an account can return it for a refund (or an updated unit, of course).

Somebody gets it.

This is a puff project designed to bolster the "innovative silicon valley tech firm" image more than anything else.

I have to put it back together again?
Well, they'd have to actually build one first for me to be able to drop it. (Not that I'm one to often drop a phone.)

A modular phone will never work. The masses don't want modular devices. They want a solid slate they can get laser engraved more than they want the ability to customize, modify, or repair things.

The 5 year old didn't find this out, the father did. He's just using his 5 year old to get attention.
