One thing they're not doing: Mandating confirmed opt-in. Asking the recipient if they want to receive email is the only way to confirm it's actually requested.

I've gotten far more spam from SendGrid than anything legitimate. They deserve every bit of their bad reputation with Microsoft's email folks.

It's not perjury unless it's willful. I have no doubt that some of these inconsistencies (most?) are deliberate, but human memory is often pretty terrible. Good luck proving that the officer was deliberately not telling the truth.

Evidence that corroborates Biblical accounts suggests that those accounts have some basis in fact. Such evidence is orthogonal to the question of whether or not any deities exist.

This would be difficult with the current legal system in most of the United States because of the rule against perpetuities[0]. Of course, jurisdiction shopping makes this easier in certain locales. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&#

My experience is that big law lawyers tend to have very narrow areas of expertise. There's not much call for big law lawyers appealing an $8,000 small claims judgement, so you probably shouldn't expect much.

Memristors are a pretty niche topic. Until somebody made some, they were an obscure topic in circuit theory. Even now that they exist, they've yet to be commercialized. It makes sense for a practicing EE who may not follow the tech pre

This article is disingenuous. The background check bill linked to from 2013 that got shot down? It also included an "assault weapons ban." Other background check bills shot down in the past have had similar problems. Other backgro

That's how the process works, but it's more complicated than you'd think. The room a speaker is in changes the overall frequency response. Speakers aren't flat, either. There are ways to get past these obstacles, but it

You're right that you can use a speaker as a microphone, because they're pretty much dynamic microphones run in reverse. However, speakers are exceptionally low sensitivity when used as microphones. You could amplify them and get

I wouldn't recommend the Earthworks M50 for this application. Earthworks' design approach for these microphones is to maximize time domain performance by having excessive bandwidth, minimal phase distortion, and flat frequency res

The perception of equal loudness changes with both sound pressure level (SPL) and frequency. Are you playing the music louder or quieter than the SPL it was mixed at? Then the balance changes.

The signs aren't all that important. shrugs The 24-inch gauge, common gavel, square, compasses, plumb, etc... those are worth studying.

The signs change as you move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Heck, in some jurisdictions, they change from lodge to lodge.

Handguns are difficult to use. Moving targets are hard to hit. Extensive training helps, but many people who have found them in situations where they need to use that training have found their performance suffers.

Well, if we're talking about this specific situation, the officer who did the shooting mistakenly thought he saw a weapon.

When it comes to the use of deadly force, the same laws apply to police as everyone else. There has to be a reasonable belief that there is an imminent threat of death or gross bodily injury. If someone is pointing a gun at you, you don

It doesn't take a weapon to kill someone. A rather infamous example in recent years is the death of Eric Gardner. Deadly force is deadly force—regardless of the form it comes in.
