Decade after decade, Israel blames its problems on Palestinians and belligerent Arabs. — In the next year I expect Israel to effectively wipe out Hamas. What I question is the cost. What it gains in internal security it might lose in global security as other nations distance themselves from an untrusty ally; that is, reduce trade deals and military support. Israel will begin…

Can More Bit-depth Fix It? — The motivation of this essay is my ongoing quest to debunk the recent marketing hype behind 32-bit float recording, that it prevents microphone clipping (I won’t name the manufacturers here). The reason so many people believe bit-depth, of any size, can prevent clipping originates with their limited knowledge of electronic…

The first thing Judaism teaches is to weed out antisemitic Jews — Jews against antisemitic Jews obviously borrowed from Hamas’ Covenant. That’s an LCD screen on the truck new Harvard, every minute it shows another young person it calls an “Antisemite.” Big donors — my guess Harvard educated adults — are also taking part. (If I’m black and I walk past that…

What military value is there in bombing civilian populations? — Most of my Jewish friends are filled with rage against Hamas, the world, everyone but themselves. Jews of previous generations, who believed it was best to be God loving and fearful, to keep a low profile, to question everything — they’ve died off. I’m not saying today’s Jews are bad…

History Chalks Up Another Slave Revolt — Imagine a 30-year old prison, anywhere in the United States, where the inmates escaped into the nearby neighborhoods, killed people with guns bought at Walmart, then brought some of them back to the prison as hostages. Now imagine the President of the United States declaring “War!” on that prison. War…

For the past year I raved about Bravo TV’s and Comcast’s Show “Below Deck”, then my eyes were opened to the ugly truth — Before you write me off as a naive fool let me argue my case. I’m a naive fool. You’re right. I believed Below Deck began with the truth… Matthew Shea never laid a finger on Lexi Wilson. But in every other way he had his way with her. The crew…

When it comes to recording microphones, 24-bit memory is more than you’ll ever need. — I’ve been on a mission to enlighten prospective buyers of audio recording equipment that 32-bit float does not prevent clipping, or in any way, improve the fidelity of microphones recorded in 24-bit fixed. 32-bit float has a benefit, and a trade-off, which are worth keeping mind after you record an…

Why Most Humans Avoid The Subject Of Climate Change — Here on Medium, B, Richard Crim, Mitch, Alan Urban and others write about the affects of greenhouse gases and other changes to our environment. Their audience remains miniscule. Why? Sure, there are star-writers with 100,000+ followers who cover climate change, but their focus is political. New Englanders vs Texans. No…

Have not paid for electricity in a year That’s not true. He spent $120,000 dollars for his electricity last year. He bought solar panels as roof tiles, paid to have them installed and hooked up to large batteries. He can capture up to 30 kilowatts of energy from the sun…
