I think that would make things more partisan, not less. Those hundreds of judges are not going to have the time to study the case in as much detail as the assigned judges, so their decisions will be based on a quick cursory reading, and the

My wife and I eat nearly identical diets. When we are outside together she can be bit over a dozen times and I won’t be bit once. Furthermore, she has been highly attractive to mosquitoes her entire life spanning radically different diets.

However, the law does often distinguish between modulating/pulsating lights and flashing ones. In the US, federal code 49 CFR Part 571.108 S7.9.4.1 explicitly allows modulating headlights on motorcycles[1]. From time to time I do see m

I absolutely agree. Personally, I've managed to convert around 3 times as many Android users as iOS users, because of this feature. And the few people who stopped using Signal after starting using it did so because of limitations in th

None of the pardoned individuals are serving prison time for their offenses. The main value of the pardon is that having a felony conviction makes it harder to get jobs and bars you from voting in some states. Around 8% of the US population

Yeah, this is basically a death sentence for those companies. AFAIK, this will be the first time the FCC has done this. In the past they have allowed other providers to stop carrying calls from non-conforming providers, but they haven&#x2

From what I understand the iOS App Store doesn't support that model. I've heard complaints from developers who have used that model with success on the Mac, and are frustrated that they can't do so on iOS.

No, if you want your final output to be 16-bit (eg CD quality), then you need more bits to work with when mixing. Each operation you perform will be requantized (rounded) to 16-bit resolution adding a bit of noise each time, until eventuall

Nice! I (ab)use FLAC to store waveform data that isn't audio, but compresses better using audio codecs than with general purpose compression algorithms. This will let me remove some hacks to compress 32-bit data as multiple channels.
