Can you hear like an audio engineer? Hello, my name is Matt. I record, edit, and mix music for a living. My profession requires an extremely discerning ear. This little listening test is to see if you can pick up subtle differences in pitch. What I have below is a series of approximately 1khz sine waves, in sets of two. In each test I’d like you to try to discern which tone is sharper than the original tone. Supposedly, the smallest discernible difference in pitch is +/- 6 Cents. Have a listen, and if you can’t tell the difference, don’t guess – just answer “can’t decide.” You should also try our popular hearing test or article on Audio Sampling Rate 88.2 vs. 44.1.

Holocaust Timeline: The Wannsee Conference On January, 20, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's second in command of the SS, convened the Wannsee Conference in Berlin with 15 top Nazi bureaucrats to coordinate the Final Solution (Endlösung) in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 11 million persons. "Europe would be combed of Jews from east to west," Heydrich stated. The minutes of that meeting have been preserved but were edited by Heydrich substituting the coded language Nazis used when referring to lethal actions to be taken against Jews.

How an open-source computer kit for kids based on Raspberry Pi is taking over Kickstarter When the Raspberry Pi was developed, founder Eben Upton envisioned that the low-cost computer would do its finest work in the classroom, teaching kids about computing. But as more units sold, Raspberry Pi developed a strong, distinctive niche among adult makers, a fruitful group that nonetheless doesn’t really have much in common with a younger age bracket that can be hard to reach. Alex Klein thinks his company’s project, the Raspberry Pi-based Kano, can reinvigorate Upton’s vision and bring the Raspberry Pi (Upton is an adviser to the Kano team) back to the classroom. “We have this nimble, hackable piece of cheap tech” in the Raspberry Pi, said Klein, Kano’s co-founder and CTO. “But it’s not catalyzing the interest of beginners and kids like it should.” “The Kickstarter launch, which has blown away our expectations, has had feedback of all ages, all around the world expressing their excitement over making a computer,” Klein said.
