Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New Yorklink fedilink 2 months ago21arrow-up 8·arrow-down There’s a lot of things under the streets of New York, many of them cause heat. In order to cool them off the heat is vented outside and the warm moist air meets with the cool dry air and condensates into droplets that we see as steam. Same affect as breathing out on a cold day, you’re not creating steam but it looks that way because the warm moist air from your breath is condensing in the cool dry air.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should IP enter the public domain?link fedilink 2 months ago4·arrow-up I am all for a period of time, I do not think it should be at the death of the artist but a set time from creation date. Say 10-15 years, gives the artist time to make their money, while not locking the creativity behind money.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do some guys start humming/making noise around women to not frighten them?link fedilink 2 months ago34·arrow-up I took a different approach, I put my keys on a carabiner so I jingle when I walk. It makes it really hard to accidentally startle people.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would you have a drink at lunch and then go back to work?link fedilink 3 months ago23·arrow-up Part of my job involves operate hoists that are lifting several tonnes over the general public. Anything that is even impairment adjacent, like being tired, will get you removed from that position. If you are actually impaired you’re fired no questions.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why hasn't video quality improved much over the past ten years?link fedilink 3 months ago4·arrow-up It’s cyclical, years ago, video quality improved dramatically, and then stagnated for almost 40 years as prices fell until it was economical for video quality to improve again. We likely won’t see a meaningful improvement for another 15-20 years, then prices will come down and then we’ll see another improvement.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there audio AI that cleans up audio?link fedilink 3 months ago1·arrow-up Depends on what kind of ai and how much control you want over it. There are some consumer stuff like adobe or elevenlabs, but if a professional is using ai it’s likely either waves or izotope as they give way more control. Personally I use waves, their clarity pro plugins are amazing, but I know several people who use izotope as well.
The problem is doing it in real time and having it sound halfway decent. The only companies who have managed that is waves and Yamaha, the later of which requires hardware that costs $70k+.

Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you implement a dead man's switch?link fedilink 5 months ago10arrow-up 1·arrow-down Pretty easy if you don’t work for google.
- Upload everything to a google drive.
- setup inactive account manager
- add all the news agencies you can get a hold of, government offices, police etc.
- make sure it’s read only access.
If they want to silence you they have to 1. Know about your account. 2. Keep it active.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What advice would you give to your younger self?link fedilink 5 months ago3·arrow-up All debt is bad, it is better to not own a house than to pay a mortgage levels of all debt is bad.
The only way you’re not going to be working a minimum wage job is if you have a college degree.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What advice would you give to your younger self?link fedilink 5 months ago8arrow-up 1·arrow-down Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.
Also college is a waste, don’t do it.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•He’s a Security Guard at the Met. Now His Sculpture Is Showing There. - The New York Times (Free Article)link Englishfedilink 5 months ago4·arrow-up This is timely. I’m actually going to the met next week. I’ll have to keep an eye out.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods?link fedilink 5 months ago67·arrow-up The fair housing act doesn’t stop age discrimination, it protects “familial status” meaning they can’t discriminate based on a family having children, or being in a gay or lesbian relationship. It does have three exceptions to the law and they all center around senior communities.
- Every occupant is 62 or older. (Why 62 I have no idea.)
- Every household has 1 person who is 55 or older.
- The community is part of a state or federal housing program that assists elderly people.
Por que no los dos?

Very flexible timing and I already had all the equipment. If I didn’t already own the equipment I wouldn’t have done it.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what are your plans to relax after voting (USA)?link fedilink 7 months ago5·arrow-up It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you think of Ukrainians?link fedilink 7 months ago5·arrow-up They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.
Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ?link fedilink 8 months ago2·arrow-up Oh, we’re not that organized. The only thing that they really do is require some form of government ID. They don’t really care what they just need to identify you.
They don’t check if you’re allowed to vote, or if you’ve already voted before you vote, as those machines aren’t connected to the internet, so there’s no database to check against. It is checked after the fact when they start counting as the counting machines are connected to the internet.
We had an issue about a decade ago where they were able to hack voting machines on election day, ever since then voting machines aren’t allowed to be connected to the internet.
Sequentialsilence@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does US "early voting" works logistically speaking ?link fedilink 8 months ago4·arrow-up Where I am there’s simply too many people to have a single location, so there are 4 different locations you can vote at in the district.
I’m a sound engineer, I have to go to concerts, it’s kind of my job.
