The world's first levitating bluetooth speaker

SquidCap says...

Well it doesn't have to account for floor resonance that regular speakers need to deal with. But as far as sound quality goes, that is one the least important factors anyway.. Not negligible but far far behind the actual motion of the cone which still is by far the weakest link in the audio chain, far behind amps or wires. It turns out that moving a paper/plastic cone back and forth 4000 times per second is still hard thing to do precisely without tremendous inefficiency (amount of energy and cooling)...

so the levitation is just a gimmick...it adds nothing to the sound quality itself, correct?

Things are ugly enough as it is.

It used to be that if spooks needed your passphrase, they'd sneak in an put a bug in your keyboard... but if they have the private keys to sign replacement firmware for your keyboard then they don't even need to sneak in any more (actually I'm not sure my keyboard even needs signed firmware).

I think someone cleverer than me could probably contrive a defense against that particular attack, but I'm not in the habit of checking the integrity of my peripherals, or working in a tempest shielded room.

I think strong crypto is probably safe, but in the real world the crypto is hardly ever the weakest link.

I'm hoping it really is mainly procedural means the NSA have. Already before this, I've been operating under the assumption anything I haven't personally encrypted using keys controlled only by me is not secure. Used to be I only went the whole mile when I felt it was necessary, now I'm starting to move as much of my net presence into the dark as I can, out of principle more than any immediate need. But if strong crypto is compromised, as some now worry... Things get ugly.

Owen Jones deconstructs the Gaza situation on BBC's QT

messenger says...

I took the time to form some questions. All you've done, again, is try and find the weakest link, attack it, and ignore everything else as if you've destroyed my point. Just answer the questions and stop making me ask again and again. You can answer with caveats, like I did. You can answer by rewording the question or changing the terms. But answer the questions. BicycleRepairMan did it and I appreciate his direct, non-condescending answer, even if I don't agree. Why can't you?

In question 1, it seems you disagree with the use of the word "Palestine". Fine. Call them whatever you want. They're people. Whatever. Do you disagree with anything else in 1.?

2 and 3 are very simple Yes/No questions that go to the mindset of whatever you want to call the Muslim people who live in Gaza.

The last two questions relate to your using that video as evidence of something. I'm saying you can infer nothing about the "nobility" of their cause. They might even be the completely horrible bloodthirsty people bent only on killing for no reason whatsoever that you're painting them as, but that video wouldn't be the evidence for it. Just answer the questions. If your answer isn't the same as mine, that's OK. We're adults. This isn't a schoolyard. I'm not going to kick your lunchbox over the fence.

Now I am sick of these.

You are the weakest link.
Goodbye.


I agree...I'm basically sick of peoples worst moments being shown to the world at all. We all have horrible stupid moments, shouldn't all have to live them down in front of everyone.

Anne Robinson (Weakest Link) Meets Her Match

>> ^FlowersInHisHair:
I never understood why she had to be so rude on the show. Ruined it for me. And it's ruined her reputation here in the UK as a TV presenter, as everyone now thinks of her as a sarcastic bitch who ruins game shows by being needlessly antagonistic and hostile towards the contestants instead of a reasoned and intelligent current affairs presenter with a twinkle in her eye, as she was formerly.

It's the character in the show, they are meant to be mean...
eg. Aus version (which came out after the US version) has a woman that resembles Anne Robinson in both demeanour and attitude (not to mention red head + stern glasses).

I know that, but you see it was Anne Robinson's idea to present the show this way. She never used to be like this.

[drunken sidenote] What are peoples' opinions on the de-capitalisation of of common internet acronyms such as lol, wtf etc


Acronyms are a means of reducing the amount of effort required to convey something, right? Being lazy enough to say lolomgwtfroflwaffle, but interested enough in linguistic convention to capitalize, seems inconsistent. Does that matter? IDGaF
