Interesting how hypothetical we have to be for snowden to not be a hero and equally hypothetical in degree for the CIA,NSA,FBI to be "actually no longer the bad guys we know they were despite zero accountability for it" Each of th

Look how easily this was derailed from a wildly popular reform bill that you probably want to people hating on Hawley. You do have to admire Pelosi, she and the hundreds like her in power really do have us and get our support despite what w

Yeah it's terrible isn't it? Don't fall for the base accusation that it's "them from that side that do it." Did you see Matt Taibbi testifying. Plaskett & Wasserman Schultz showing us what they are? The po

The whole field of psychology shifts uncomfortably in it's chair. Replication crisis. My prediction is a well rehearsed closing of ranks and naked abuse of anyone questioning integrity. Not all psych research will be unreliable just li

This kind of thing, outsiders from both sides of government joining to try to get something done is the only way you will ever get any reform. Also why the insiders from both sides will be so scathing about outsiders on the other side and c

Sorry, in no way criticising your english. Was meant to be a cynical comment on the number people one sees simply failing upwards. Success has many parents, failure is an orphan. Merit at playing political games, backstabbing, lying, appear

Here's a floobada. It newly enables you to "drink water." You can't dispute that not knowing what a floobada is? 3D sound has existed for four decades at least, much like you were able drink water before I invented the f

I didn't say 3D audio was "standard stereo". What I said is that for decades you /can/ record 3D audio and then listen to it using headphones. And yes using standard 2 track stereo. I used a cassette tape recorder i

Great, let's call it that then and say it clearly. Something like: This new "Atmos" is a breakthrough for music because unlike previous 3D immersive sound (using headphones which /will/ be better than speakers) this

Wow, knew next to nothing about atmos before today. He does a good job, and he really didn't miss. I like him.

Wow interesting. So given headphones can control exactly what vibrations go to each eardrum I guess without knowledge of your ear shapes (and head, nose, hair, etc) it would be like listening with the ears of someone else! I wonder how much

Something else news to me today. I always thought "stereo" meant something like "two working in unison". Apparently it is from the greek meaning "solid." Hence sterophonic literally means solid (or spatial or 3

Oh go on. You really think if Eno released "Ambient 5: Music for Headphones" it wouldn't likely be his biggest seller? "...few musicians..." Eno for sure is one, and it could even be just a different mix and can be

Yeah totally. I've had ideas like that. Installations where the lighting, imagery and sound all respond to your position in the space for example. The moment you get close to $thing a new riff is dropped in on the next beat, something

Is that what it is called? Binaural? Like bi="2" and aural="relating to the ear or the sense of hearing." First I've heard the term is today, I guess it makes sense as it will only work with 2 ears, just like stereo
