I hope not. The concept that, "The microphone that has the input at the highest amplitude s probably the closest and therefore the correct one" is classified as Fucking Duh, and should not be patentable. And no, nifty bits about normalizing and going between different mics doesn't make it novel. That's called calibration, and should be done in any device that provides amplitude.
Why does Sweden have some of the lowest excess mortality? They weren't idiots like USandians. They actually listened to their government, took some precautions, got vaccinated. The US? Much more scared of needles than guns.

The CDC said that when the size of the particles that transmitted the virus wasn't properly understood. Cloth masks helped. But they were not as effective as surgical masks, which were not as effective as N95 masks. If you had been paying attention, you would have seen the studies going on about propagation and droplet size and airflow modeling, trying to get a grip on the actual dynamics.
And you overlook the fact that people are not horses. Their weights are different. Their digestive systems are different. The actual composition of other ingredients in the doses are different.
Ivermectin basically is meant to be a dose big enough kill the parasites but hopefully not kill the host. How many influencers did we lose to Ivermectin, again?
Idiot.
If the rules said, "Any Device" and not "Any Camera", then either an organizer screwed up royally or this lad is just trying to get his 15 minutes of fame.
A photography competition should involve taken photographs. There should be nothing that comes out in that photo that did not go into the camera. Multiple exposure tricks count. Adjusting coloration and balance is fine. Painting in an AI generated skyline is a ban, because it did not go through the camera ostensibly used to take the photos. Skylum is trying to slip this kind of thing into Luminar, and I do not approve of it at all.
It's really so much simpler than Mr Look At Me was trying to make it seem.
Yes and no.
Acquaint yourself with the concept of "perjury".
Lawyers can talk, unless under oath. And anything submitted in writing is typically sworn to. Hazards of violation include censure and loss of license to practice law.
Which is why a certain spate of court cases in 2020 sounded and resolved very differently in court than the braggadocio heard outside it.
In other words, it was created by folks that were afraid "the government was out to get them", and didn't anticipate that also meaning "the government won't save them".
I seem to remember a few smart contract exploits that drained funds. And since the way they set it up was they were legal contracts... those independent-minded souls had no actual valid recourse.
You're so close to getting it. So very close...
To being complete and utter bullshit.
"Read both sides of a story and make up their minds." Oh wow, you must not be at all familiar with the "bury them in lies and propaganda" strategy that's been running for the past... oh, at least 30 years. Either wise up or stop trying to pretend to be so stupid. Shutting the flow of lies to a trickle isn't censorship, it's flow control.
Twitter's applied the ToS inconsistently, all right. They should have been banning a lot of right-wing nutcases MUCH SOONER. But didn't. So there you are.
Nobody with a brain missed Elton's hypocrisy, it screamed from the rooftops. There's no concern for safety. They made shit up. Proof: Said journalists are back on Twitter just as fast as there were off it. There's no weight to it, just a capricious owner with poor emotional and impulse control.
So, funny thing about Steve Jobs.
I haven't looked into this extensively, but I recall reading about how he was quizzing the product engineers about the iPhone, or iPod or something or other... And one poor fool was telling him what it was supposed to do. And he tore them a new one because it didn't do ANY of that.
If we want to say that all Steve Jobs did was make Apple products do what they said on the tin, we also have to remember that at the time that was all it took for them to be better than 95% of the other offerings in the markets.
I've said before that Apple weren't magical, they weren't innovative. They just weren't willing to suck. And that's all it took.
So why doesn't that work both ways? It does, if folks actually had the guts to do it. Do Western companies know how to fabricate chips or not? If they do, do it. Make fabs, make chips. Stop depending on a nation that wants to steal all your tech and drain your funds by selling you what they made using what they stole. It's cheaper because they stole it.
Anybody that says this is a good idea has no actual memory of how often games crash / glitch, get hacked, network connections go bad, bathroom runs, etc.
I'd challenge the best player to survive a day in this. It does not matter your skill when the premise that the 'die in the game, die in real life' begins from is 'there are no errors in coding and no interruptions of service'.
Hey look, Whataboutism comes in economy size too!
If you actually look you can see a difference. Democrats admitting they were wrong. The Republicans seem to have forgotten how to do that, in addition to being deathly allergic to the truth.
Are you actually willing to hold Republicans to the same standards?
I think you need to adjust your calibration 50 points to the left.
Multiple attempts were made from within and without our system of government to invalidate the actual votes of the voters in the states, to reject or change the outcome of those electoral processes.
It needs to be investigated, it is being investigated. That you think that it would not be investigated were positions reversed shows that you've fallen for the Republican propaganda hook, line, and sinker.
SecondLife is still going and doing fine.
And has graphics that make the current 'popular' metaverses that are just NFT tie-ins look like toys. Also tons of physics driven vehicles, weaponry, events... SL was doing concerts before Fortnite existed.

For the exchange of ideas. Not for conspiracy to sedition, to promote actions likely to result in injury or death to yourself or others, etc. You are free to say what you want. But you are not free to use someone else's platform to do it. If you break the house rules, don't act shocked to find yourself outside the door.
It's just hilarious how fast so called defenders of capitalism and business and free speech pitch a fit when they discover that breaching a business's rules gets them turfed out. The crying, the complaining. The wailing at the unfairness of it. "Conservatives are being censored much more often!" And they're probably breaching the ToS much more often, cause and effect.
What was that said about snowflakes, and feelings? Act civil. Show some actual respect. Bring some actual evidence. Discuss things on the merits as found by those that actually know what they're talking about, not Dr Oz or Franzie on Facebook.
