The maximum frequency you can detect is limited by your sampling rate, but there's not a limit on the precision with which you can break those frequencies up. It's controlled by a parameter NFFT -- the PSD will compute (NFFT/

Well neither did he say or imply that it should be prevented, so again you're being fallacious here.

He didn't say or even insinuate that one has a right to be CEO of anything nor that any kind of speech should be banned.

You have 3 assumptions here, all of which are very questionable. 1. The workers are informed of the risks and safety hazards. 2. The workers will starve if they don't work this job. 3. The workers had a free choice whether or not to wo

By using developer consoles you're accessing to your own computer, and as long as you aren't circumventing DRM, or committing some other criminal act, it's not illegal. Not by my reading of the situation, but IANAL... What is

Well, if true it's a surprising principal... Theaters have to inform their occupants that pirating is illegal? What case set that precedent?

None of that makes sense, at all. Asking targets to first go to the account->security settings to disable the option named "Allow my account to be hijacked if I paste malicious JavaScript", and then to paste this JavaScript, se

Wrong. Look at the Environment section of their website. Read the PRs and the blog posts they link to. http://www.nationalcenter.org/eptf.html > "Here's the bottom line: Apple is as obsessed with the theory of

It doesn't sound to me like the author is as technically inept as your making it sound here. Perhaps a little ignorant of some legal details of the court orders, but someone who has done a bit more than "toyed around" with SM

The first search needn't be illegal. An example: NSA surveillance of a smuggler in Mexico produces the name of Joe Schmoe in El Paso (for concreteness let's say the intercept is "Joe Schmoe will distribute our cocaine, as alw

Parallel construction is not that. You're describing simple perjury.

Yeah, that would seem to be more practical with respect to currying (and perhaps dynamic dispatch). I was just trying to make it look as similar as possible to the Leibniz notation. :)

The Bay Area winters are comparatively mild, and if you're going to die of exposure it's most likely to be elsewhere. I don't dispute that. But I don't think we can say that it is very difficult to freeze here, nor that

I found that a very weird thing to say, given that eight people have froze to death in this area during the last month. I wouldn't assume that surviving the cold is very easy . Hypothermia doesn't even require very low temperatur

Yup. There's a certain absurdity to it. The names of the current mafia bosses in the New York area are listed on Wikipedia (Five Families).

There is no incentive not to work. With or without guaranteed basic income, you stand to lose tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in compensation by quitting work. So there is no financial incentive at least (except e.g. the

by peterwoo 13y ago
Guaranteed basic income doesn't mean guaranteed employment. So if you invent something that lets me get rid of 90% of my work force, I can still buy it from you, fire my people, and you can still get rich.

500-800req/sec over 10-20 servers with ~30ms response times. 1 req / server seemed plausible. Thanks. I admit I'm not familiar with the platform.

The difference is that INDENT and OUTDENT have to be defined by context-sensitive productions. Even if this occurs in what would otherwise be the "lexing" stage of the parser .

It can be parsed to an AST -- as you note, it can be parsed into two ASTs. It's called an ambiguous grammar, which can still be context free.
