Sheriff, at the state bee. My sister had made it to the national bee, just part of her long tradition of being an irritatingly superior older sibling. (She is, of course, a doctor.) — PolitiTweet.org

Pros: - Big app to run, lots of users and attention - The subs funnel runs through you now, so you run the NYT - A distinct pause for effect whenever anyone asks you what you do Cons: - If you fuck it up the entire internet will kill you — PolitiTweet.org

@mcelhearn @alvyray I should have been more careful in my tweet. Most high bitrate compression is indistinguishable in A/B tests from CD-quality, which is what the industry has decided to call "lossless." But all of those mixes are redone, so you can hear that — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlsGillespie @alvyray You can sub out a variety of formats. Basically there's a point at which sampling is a perfect approximation of the source — PolitiTweet.org

As long as we're doing Neil Young takes, one of my favorite bits from @alvyray's excellent Biography of the Pixel: you cannot hear the difference between high-bitrate compression and lossless audio. What you can hear is engineers being more careful mixing for lossless. https://t.co/waHKBUPGkh — PolitiTweet.org

@ComradeRobski Oh god no, that would never be allowed. We just know most of our guests do other interviews. So we go through all of them to see what they say in response to common questions so we can plan followups and so on. The goal is to get *new* information, after all. — PolitiTweet.org
