You know it’s bad when the person who makes everything into a joke admits that it’s fucked

I read a lot of fucked up news stories, but this one is one of the wildest in recent memory

Think of noise as a sine wave on a Cartesian plane (the X-y graph you used in math class). The noise goes up and down so that y=1 at the max and y=-1 at the minimum.

What happens if we add 1 when y=-1? Well, now it’s 0. And what happens if we add -1 when y=1? It’s 0 again. That’s basically what noise cancelling does. It adds the “opposite” to make the sound equal 0. That’s super layman’s terms, but I hope it makes sense. It’s basically trying to make the opposite of whatever it hears.

But when something is physically touching your body, your ears can’t absorb that “opposite” sound because the original sound is kind of already absorbed in your body, if that makes sense?

Literally why I ended up on his wiki page. I was googling this as I tried to explain the concept to someone lol

Many countries have extradition agreements.

Y’know those spam calls you get? Where they try to say they are the government? The reason they get away with that is that your country doesn’t have an extradition agreement with their country.

That’s a drastic oversimplification but it’s still true

“If you guys stopped locking up my ketamine dealers, I wouldn’t have to turn to FB to buy drugs” - Zuck probably

Too soon?

I’d be shocked if cops did anything with that. Local police are incompetent (and, to be fair, waaay under resourced) when it comes to cybercrimes. Who did you report it to?

Because he’s weird and we are legally allowed to change our names

Obviously the uplifting part is not the first part of the headline, in case that needs to be said
