So then what, if not investigations or evidence, has lead you to believe that this fraud happened?

The "curse" of the Arduino software is that the libraries abstract away the registers. So you get the quick satisfaction of blinking an LED, but you're never forced to dig in to what those libraries are actually doing to make

I think Arduino hardware is a great place to start with embedded, specifically AVRs and avr-gcc. For one, there is a huge amount of daughterboards/shields because of the size of the userbase and common pinouts. Most importantly, devi

I'm an embedded developer, and I've recently started teaching a coworker about microcontrollers. I think it's most helpful to first understand the basics of digital electronics. Transistors can be wired together to create l

To be fair, those stories only became false after conservatives said the word "hoax" enough times. When actual Russians met with actual members of the campaign, and shared poll data, and distributed hacked materials, the stories

Everyone claiming that Twitter and other social media companies are infringing on their free speech are arguing that these companies must allow broadcast messages. Telephone companies do not allow normal customers to broadcast messages. A

Banned twitter users are all free to type out what they would have tweeted, while twitter exercises its right not to listen to, and subsequently distribute it. A more apt analogy is that the person is using someone else's public addre

If a twitter user blocks another user, is the blocked user being censored because they can't speak to the user that blocked them? Is this infringing on their free speech? If someone spams twitter with billions of messages, to the poin

How much Conservative American Vernacular English can you cram into a single paragraph?

You've said nothing but diversionary conservative talking points. You can't refute anyone's point, you're only able to muddy the water with willful ignorance.

"Removing poll watchers" was in response to those poll watchers intimidating the poll workers. The lack of signature matching/oversight is not evidence of wrongdoing. Its the possibility that wrongdoing might not have been

Are we to believe that you don't understand object permanence? Your argument amounts to "certain images of this event appear peaceful".

What is the falsifiable hypothesis of the stolen election? There's nothing coherent about an ever evolving list of grievances. I'm convinced this is by design. If there were a sound theory, it could be disproven. But if its ju

Is it really that different from companies registering all of their trucks in Indiana because they have the cheapest commercial insurance?

There are few to no compelling use cases for consumers creating a true network of internet connected things, because they don't have distributed physical things. If all your stuff is nearby, and isn't in large quantities, then th

You're disregarding my premise, and arguing against something else. The severity of the BLM protests in no way sets precedence for other protests, nor informs the minimum level of violence/destruction/disruption that must oc

But we don't allow the extremes of barely related events to calibrate what should or shouldn't be alarming about other events.

@giantg2 The fallacy is claiming that one is not as bad because the other exists. You seem to be defending your comments from absolute privation. I refer to the first comment I replied to, >That says a lot if that's what a violent

Why are the extreme examples of other events the baseline threshold for problems at subsequent events?

by flyingcircus3 5y ago
Absolutely that fallacy. You're holding the 2020 BLM protests up as being far worse. In fact, you've quantified just how bad they were, as a means of demonstrating that these protests are not as bad. The fallacy is not the clai

While we're on the subject of the fallacy of relative privation, you'll surely acknowledge that the closure of the Ambassador Bridge for a week is a couple orders of magnitude worse than the 2020 protests. After all, the appropri

Of course there isn't! That's why its so preposterous to single out "traditional" media as the sole purveyors of falsehoods. Meanwhile, this other segment of the media is essentially a broken clock of bottomless cynici

If there is no pure alternative, then these problems are not unique to legacy/traditional/corporate/entrenched media, and therefore have nothing to do with them being in the mainstream.

Does this maintain any state? Lets say I start playing an album, then leave the page. Does the music restart from the same track/time, when I return, or do I need to reselect the track and start from the beginning?

Does this rely on tagged files? The music I'm interested in using is live shows from The Grateful Dead and Phish, and is all labelled in folders and filename. Last time I tried mpd, everything needed to be tagged.

My goal is to use the pi as a car audio player with a USB SSD. Put the pi's wifi in AP mode. Connect a phone to the pi. Now the phone is the UI, but the audio plays through the pi, into the car's aux input.
