Dolby Digital audio tracks are supposed to support dynamic range compression in your A/V receiver for exactly this reason. There is a dialog normalization field in the audio data that says how loud dialog is, and then the receiver is

This sounds an awful lot like asking job candidates for 10 years of experience in a technology that is only 2 years old. Nothing new will ever be created again.

I seem to recall reading that they (used to?) track abandonment of the search results page as a successful answer to your question from the embedded page snippets or info boxes. So if you get a search result page that's complete garba

LSD gets to kids in e.g. cake sprinkles. There was an incident with students hallucinating at my junior high (a long time ago), and I overheard some of the responsible kids talking about it later on.

I wish shopping for consumer goods was as nice as faceted search on Octopart or Digikey. It seems that even for Amazon-sold products, either the products don't have relevant data listed accurately and consistently, or the faceted sear

Just to provide a counterpoint, so people aren't completely scared from the idea of turbinate reductions or septoplasty, my breathing felt amazing right after I had mine in my early 20s. Huge improvement, and I could still smell well

Some old SVGA cards from the 1990s had a ~132x60 mode (as well as a bunch of others), that could be activated in DOS with the RHIDE editor that came with DJGPP (no doubt there were other ways), or with SVGATextMode in Linux.

Indeed, even in San Francisco I measured indoor humidity as low as 18% before I got a humidifier, and dryer+colder places (e.g. Salt Lake City) could be even lower inside. Humidity below 40-50% at indoor temperatures has noticeable negativ

I haven't followed Australia's progress with COVID-19, so I hope these questions aren't too obvious or bothersome: Were these single-digit infections all symptomatic, or were they detecting asymptomatic infections too? What

If you're ready being paid below the RH data, your bosses probably don't think those high numbers from e.g. levels are real, so the RH data can still give you something to take into compensation discussions. Also, if RH only incl

The Robert Half recruiting agency's salary guide can also be useful when making the case for a raise or CoL adjustment, especially if you're in a market that levels.fyi doesn't have data for.

B and C say "general description", while A says "rate" or "compensation"; has the exact meaning of those been figured out yet, w.r.t. what goes in the number and what goes in the text?

broadcast over the airwaves Intent matters a great deal. Very few people intend for their wifi to reach their neighbors or the street. There is already an expectation of privacy for visible and IR wavelengths of the EM spectrum.
