Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco. I left mine in Boston. I lived there nigh on 30 years, most of my adult life. The first day I got there, I took a room at the YMCA, then went … Continue reading →

This is what Lawrence Solomon, writing in the Financial Post, considers “analysis.” Perhaps everyone who reads this should inform the Financial Post what they think of his “analysis.”

A WUWT contributor who calls himself “justthefacts” has written a post which attempts to tout the so-called “pause” in global warming. It’s pretty well summed up by the title of this post. I’ve come to...

Let’s take a signal which everybody agrees is broadband. It’s called the sinc function, and I’ll choose the form . Its Fourier transform is a rectangle function, equal to 1 for frequency between -0.5 and +0.5, equal to ...

“Suppose we have a signal which is band-limited, say it’s limited to the frequency band from 0 to 0.5 cycles per day,” says the engineering professor to the class in digital signal processing. “If we observe this ...

It seems that Anthony Watts politely disagrees with my post about the connection between oil and gas production and earthquake activity. Actually that’s not a fair portrayal of his post. It’s a hatchet job against me personal...

A reader recently asked: T, from my mechanical engineering world we have strict rules on sampling rates vs. signal frequency rates. Ie you cannot reliably measure a 60hz ac sine wave with a 5hz analog sampling device. The result ends ...

Mother Jones reports on recent earthquakes in regions not accustomed to much seismic activity, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Ohio. Much of their story consists of anecdotal evidence, particularly the strongest earthquake in Oklahoma history at...

This post has nothing to do with climate change, or any aspect of science or mathematics. It’s about politics. It’s about why, even though I think the democratic party in the USA is generally incompetent, I’m still a st...
