If we could accelerate to relativistic velocity, the only other things stopping us might be relativistic dust specks, each and every one of which is now a bomb. For reference, see what could have been a deadly ding to the window of the Space Shuttle. If the object was larger, it might have penetrated. IIRC, it was thought to be caused by a paint chip. Velocity? Nowhere near relativistic.

A. Knock-knock. B. Who's there? A. To get to the other side.

No. Wait. Dammit. I suck at this.

No, you just failed at formatting.

Dude. Just take a stapler and some pens or something. Everything has limits.

The first thing I thought of was the Magic software that ran support when I was there. This was the late 90s and it was already considered old.

After I looked up that link, I realized that I had written some FORTRAN during an internship. That was in the mid 80s, and the install may have been a few years old for all I knew.

My favorite are all the fucking goomoji in the subjects these days. "||mail.google.com/mail/e/" made a welcome addition to my uBlock filters...

The best way to play Aerobie is to retrieve them from roofs, trees, and other places where they were thrown. Then, throw them gently. I'm not sure how this analogy can be applied to early vs. late adopters... or maybe I am and I'm just not telling you.

The supplier who gave them bad or subgrade steel should be, they're about to get reamed...

Heard on NPR this morning that they think it's an inside job, and has all the hallmarks of it being so.

Apparently someone got tired of the all unethical behavior. Something about an account being free to create, but $20 to delete (and then not really being removed, or something like that)

Oh. To answer your question - I've recorded at 96khz and played it back at 1/4 speed, and I don't recall seeing a dead zone on the resulting audible spectrum. So I couldn't say anything about 48khz and beyond, and I'll also caution I was hardly being scientific about it.

If I had anything that could reliably produce a sweep up there, I'd work on creating a graph for you. Sadly, I don't :|

Not bad for a cheap recorder, though. Even the battery life is nice. The -only- problem I have with it is the chassis is 'noisy' - I have a bit of paper towel wedged between the battery and the battery access panel, to keep it from rattling. If you're not handling it actively, it's quiet.

My $100 recorder picks up bird songs well beyond 20kHz. Doesn't seem to be aliasing either, as the pitch changes move harmonically and in the same direction as the stuff lower down that we can hear.

Maybe some are near water, another one is near high-grade ore, there are stations to service travelers between them, another one is in a better launch point to orbit, etc.

I'm not sure how parent got moderated Informative. Reddit does a pretty good job of not allowing offensive subs to pollute non-offensive ones. If you log on with the default set of subs, it's mostly non-offensive stuff with NSFW tags working pretty well to prevent you from following porn links and stuff. Yes, people talk about and/or link to offensive ones; but the offensive content itself is not in the stock subs. If you follow those links, you can find yourself in some truly bizarre and/or offensive places; but it's not in your face day-to-day unless you *choose* to go there.

We already solve it like programmers--we do it according to what the suits say, regardless of how stupid it is because... money.

The good programmers (would-be leaders) get disgusted and quit.

What we need is disruptive technology, from a different bunch of suits. This has nothing to do with how good the programmers are, except that if it's a good bunch of suits they'll attract a good bunch of programmers.
