"Audio doesn't have anything to do with it."
Argh, you are the one who made an audio analogy!
My point was that you seemed to be saying -10dB was no problem, but that would be an unbearable level of noise if you tried to listen to it. Bah, it was just silly nit-picking, forget it!
- kragen 17y agoI didn't bring up audio; I just used dB. dB are a perfectly good unit to measure a signal-to-noise ratio for any continuous scalar signal: audio, radio, light, voltage on a wire, whatever. I was thinking of the analogy to radio in particular, where you can use spread-spectrum techniques to get useful data out of SNRs much worse than -10dB. It certainly is the case that the article author thought Facebook contained an unbearable amount of noise, and I don't.
