“ They roll over without a peep.” What are you talking about? This is literally them doing the opposite, and there are multiple other public instances of them making a stand, not to mention in the design of their systems. Truly curious how

Thanks, I’ve read the constitution too. Ever heard of congress, full of elected officials? Or the senate? Your claim that there are so few elected officials is patently absurd.

Because it’s lossy, period. You may not notice it if you’re not looking hard enough; but you wouldn’t accept a .zip file of a word doc that was missing letters or words in the document. You’d use lossless compression. I’m not saying there’s

The human ear is absolutely good enough to hear the difference. However the vast majority of the population has not had listening training. I’ve done double blind tests repeatedly and provided it’s not on crap audio gear I can absolutely te

Actually Tidal has a partly direct to artist model, while Apple pays all labels the top-line rate instead of forcing smaller ones to accept less.

So we are the ones potentially spreading life by accident. Fascinating! Now if Ryugu hits a distant body we could perhaps have proven our own panspermia hypothesis! What a time to be alive.
