Moon bounce communication is most perplexing to the flat earth society They refuse to "believe" that it is not trickery. LOL

I have often wondered if these flood stories document something much larger that might have occurred as the major ice sheets collapsed and raised the sea levels to unseen heights. But the one that is most intriguing IMHO is the mediterranea

That "sound" is partially due to the design of the current AM system. It was built to pack more transmitters into the allocated frequency range. There are no technical impediments to high fidelity audio because of amplitude modula

Correction: The CPU was named NOVIX 4016. The next iteration was the Harris RTX2000. A quick history of this work is contained in this thesis by Charles Eric LaForest. http://fpgacpu.ca/publications/Second-Generation_

An interesting test would be to correlate birth date results with people from the southern hemisphere. "Western civilization" is very north biased IMHO.

Ya that chip is really weird. Each core is so minimal that people struggle to understand how to use the chip. I think something less "fanatic minimalism" would be better but hey that's just me.

IMHO the world has missed the real thing Chuck Moore invented, that being an alternative CPU architecture. The use of two stacks, one for data and one for sub-routine linkage had not been seen to my knowledge, before Moore. Forth is not a l

Harari gave me some insights when he explained that when humans lived closer to nature, as hunter gatherers, we tended to see the continuum of life on earth. "God" was in everything. After the advent of agriculture and animal husb

Marketing as I was taught in a fortune 500 is the end to end process of delivering a product/service to the target customer. Good product is the table stakes. (entry requirement) Everything else is in the marketing plan.

There is an elephant in the room in my opinion on the matter of a migration to N. America across the atlantic, however I have not read a definitive evaluation of this piece of evidence. There exists, mostly in the northern tribes (Ojibwa 27

It is possible for both dying "from" and dying "with" to be true. (although the medical meaning of each is imprecise IHMO) I have read that many (most?) of the victims of the 1918 flu pandemic did not die from the virus

FM takes whatever bandwidth you allow it. The harder you hit it the wider it goes. The limiting factor is when modulation exceeds the bandwidth of the receiver, it clips very badly. Narrow band FM is used for aircraft. police, fire, amateur

"AM" is the modulation scheme. A more accurate name for this radio service is used in Europe, "middle-wave". The modulation scheme is not the reason for propagating around mountains and bouncing off the ionosphere at ni

We have so many "bandaids" but very few cures these days. Perhaps AI systems will allow us to find root causes of these insidious diseases.

"It would be cheaper to cure the disease..." <pessimist> Cheaper would also mean less revenue generated by ongoing symptom control medication. (Asthma inhalers for example: ~$13.4B global 2021, CAGR=20% !!) There is less bus

These were called "leased" lines. You ordered them and the Telco set them up for you and billed you like any other service.

Yes. The audio quality of land line phones was dictated primarily by transducers. This was by design. The TIA published specs for USA, Canada had their own as well as most other countries. The response of a twisted pair was pretty good over

Yes, ISDN was the higher priced product offered by the telcos but ISDN was not available until the 1980s. Radio broadcasting started over 60 years earlier and analogue lines were the only option.

by lebuffon 3y ago
Absolutely. From the advent of radio broadcasting telephone lines were used for everything, audio and even DC signalling to control relays. All remote radio broadcasts used at least two lines. One for sending sound back to the station and a
