I always thought backwards-compatible FM stereo was pretty cute


transmit L+R channels as before, so they can be picked up and played without trouble with mono equipment, and transmit L-R separately. Just add or subtract to get the L or R channels.

But what's the Fourier transform of a delta function?

...that's right. It's all of the Hertz.

There's an audio illusion that's somewhat analogous to the barber pole illusion


instead of a pattern which appears to always go up or down, you can have a sound which seems to always go up or down in pitch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone

Is there any regime where this is more efficient than spokes? I'd imagine that at high speed there's an aerodynamic advantage (possibly similar to a track/TT disk wheel?), but I can't imagine the bearings being better than current bikes. But bearing loss might (???) just scale linear with speed, so probably a win from aero in the end. But this isn't counting weight, which I imagine is worse (but doesn't matter much at high speed on flat ground).

From skimming TFA, it's not that the numbers are fake per se, it's that they're wildly misinterpreted.

Job cuts coincided with minimum wage laws, however, they also coincided with seasonal reduction in workforce. So it's entirely expected that that would happen.

Adjusting for seasonal expectations


which you absolutely must do for a proper comparison


gives you the opposite conclusion, and emphatically does not point to the minimum wage having a negative causal link to fast-food employment numbers.

I audited a class on the topic. The professor said something like, "Some folks think evolution isn't a fact, it's just a theory


but they have it backwards! It is a fact...but it's a lousy theory."

You're not just being inconsiderate to your landlord, though

Perhaps the endorphin hit from sticking it to your landlord makes it all worthwhile.
