It was, and there are even some significant differences. On she's leaving home, the mono mix was speed up with the mono version's length coming in at 3:26 and the stereo at 3:35 [0]. I believe (running off of memory here too) that the first album where the stereo mix got some actual attention was the white album.

Personally, only the mono mix sounds right.

>I think quarantine should be down to the individual and the rules they'd like to implement on their private property
Too bad most people leave their private property and interact with people in public spaces where their personal rules are moot.

Are the number of users that use adblock actually increasing? I feel like we are already at a saturation point where anyone who would use an adblocker already does. Adblocking has been around longer than these big sites that use ads as a main revenue source yet they managed to become big in spite of adblocking.
> Will the government move to rule adblocking illegal?
Absolutely not, serving ads is not a protected activity, you can't force someone to consume something they don't want to.
> Will websites engage in sophisticated technical anti-adblock measures?
Already been tried, see anti-adblock and its counterpart, anti-anti-adblock. The solution to adblock is product placement and sponsorship, which has already extremely prevalent.

>At least when watching television, it's absolutely clear when you're watching paid-for commercials
That is not true, product placement can be very subtle and even when it's not, it's not like the actors look at the camera and say "This show brought to you by X" even when it really is.

Ive seen plenty of HDL written by people who are software engineers, it's not good. It seems to me most software engineers struggle with visualizing their behavioral code as a schematic and tend to write code that is not very synthesis friendly and overly convoluted. Not to mention most issues with hardware engineering cant be solved by a google search of how to do X in Verilog/VHDL, problems tend to be device specific which means you NEED to understand your tool chain and can't abstract away the code from from the implementation like you can with most high level software to the ASM/binary.
