It’s a last-mile thing. Artificially boosts the download numbers which most customers look at.

So does the stellarator. What’s the argument here?

Nah, not impossible people build stellarator type Fusion reactors with large freeform metal parts in that tolerance region that are exposed to liquid helium.

Sounds fantastic. Is there an organization for such groups? I’ve never heard of them before.

Maybe apart from masonic lodges…

I suspect that most people don’t subscribe to Spotify to listen to white noise but other music. So they might not lose a lot of revenue because white noise is not their core value proposition.

Only of those people subscribed to Spotify to listen to white noise. I suspect it’s a side effect…

Yes, but a binary gate reacts to a change in inputs exactly once by adjusting its own state. If the inputs change faster the frequency will change of course, but that’s not the point. Neurons will fire pulse trains with different rates for two different inputs that a binary system would both interpret as “on”. It’s a much more analog and continuous system in that regard.

That’s just plainly wrong. If neurons are “activated” (the binary analogy) it starts firing, but at varying rates depending on how far above it’s threshold the activation happened. A bit like an activation level to frequency converter, but non-linear.

They fire at different rates are though.

What is a men’s group? Can you elaborate

Those are usually just FATs. The left cap pops off and exposes a USB port. The player itself shows up as a thumb drive.

Can I donate to EFF instead?
