  • While I will be the first person to admit that I don’t completely understand either, the concept is pretty simple.

    Think of a digital recording being something like sheet music. Sheet music is a set of instructions on how to play a song that anyone who knows how to read music can reproduce.

    Digital recordings work in a similar fashion. The playback device reads the instructions which include things like frequency and volume, and is able use that information to make a perfect playback of the digital recording.

    Could it be recreated by random chance? Sure. Would it? Probably not. At least not easily.






  • I don’t know if there are any words that you will find comforting, so I will tell you how I cope when find myself in a spiral.

    The universe is astoundingly, massively, stupid huge and you and I are here for only a fraction of a second compared to the life of a planet or a star. You matter because you are matter, but we are all insignificant and nobody is any more important than anyone else. You can kill yourself if that is truly what you want, or you could wait a little while longer and death will come for you soon enough. Try to realize just how amazing life is and consider how lucky you are to be here to experience it. I want to see what happens next, so I think I will hang out a little while longer. I can always die tomorrow.

    If that doesn’t help you; try to be thankful that you are not Sam Bankman-Fried! That guy’s life really sucks!













  • Unfortunately, as we have already seen within the Republican party, threats work! If you are a secretary of state right now, you have two choices:

    A) upholding Article 14 sec 3 because Trump engaged in an insurrection and is disqualified from ever holding elected office. But by doing so you, your coworkers, and your friends and family will be having to endure constant protests, verbal abuse, and death threats for the foreseeable future
    or
    B) Not doing that, hoping that he loses again (as he should), and the crazy people mostly leave you alone.

    Which one would you pick? The real answer is probably not as easy as simply following the law.
    I know which one I hope I would choose, but I can’t say for sure I would do it.
