@johncarlosbaez For what it's worth, pitch oscillation is a thing. Vibrato in the classical or expressive context, and then there's synth stuff that do a similar thing. They're usually thought of in the same way that timbre is, but sometimes microtonal artists use those sounds in conjunction with weird tunings to make them more palatable.

Oscillation speed, amplitude, shape, how many doubling voices there are (and whether they're doing generally the same thing) can all be considered.

Have you had a claim denied by your health insurance company? @ProPublica made something to help you get all the records they used, phone calls they had and notes they took in denying it. Check it out: https://projects.propublica.org/claimfile/

You likely have the right to access records that explain why your insurer denied your claim or prior authorization request. Use ProPublica’s free tool to generate a letter requesting your claim file from your health insurance company.

Almost uniquely among American journalists working at major outlets, @willbunch is calling his peers on their rank cowardice in the face of the emergency our nation faces.

We may well be one election away from a dictatorship, and Big Journalism's business-as-usual approach amounts to collaboration with enemies of democracy.

With the world on fire, a cowardly, timid news media is a threat to U.S. democracy

News organizations are using cowardly words to describe killing abroad and fascism at home — downplaying the danger to democracy.

Hi #gischat let's got for a 2nd Daily #mapmaking with #QGIS

For the past 2 weeks or so we’ve had an ongoing earthquake swarm very close to the town of Grindavík in the Reykjanes Peninsula. The swarm is very likely caused by an inflating magma body currently at about 5 km depth. The shape of the body is most likely a flat sill expanding and causing earthquakes. These events might lead to an eruption very close to people’s homes and lots of infrastructure.

Good read:

“Many scientists consider underestimates to be “conservative,” because they are conservative with respect to the question of when to sound an alarm or how loudly to sound it. The logic of this can be questioned, because underestimation is not conservative when viewed in terms of giving people adequate time to prepare. (Consider for example, an underestimate of an imminent hurricane, tornado, or earthquake.)”

@fraser Is this essentially the same thing as a cycler or different?
@davidho any chance of details/elaboration?
