So, same market as the DopplerLabs Hear One?

I am the ideal customer: some hearing loss from my VJ days, but still appreciate frequency response. I render all my music at 192Khz.

Basic hearing aids suck at frequency response. Most drop off at around 8KHz Meanwhile, Apple has created a pipeline for hearing aid. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201466 I haven't used it.

I often work out of noisy cafes. So, I wear Bose Quiet Comfort 20 earbuds. If I forget, I will go back home to fetch them. Have even taken the QC 20's to public concerts to use the noise cancellation feature instead of earplugs.
As a SaaS provider, one of the key indicators of a customer at risk of churn is the presence of another competitor in their account. A service which notifies you once an account signs up for a competing service would be immensely valuable in helping to target retention activities.

There's a technique that has the potential to temporarily (around 1 minute) clear tinnitus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yDCox-qKbk

It's not much and doesn't seem to work for everyone, but if you've been suffering from tinnitus for years, one minute is better than nothing.

I keep a pair of high-quality earplugs[0] on my keychain. They're completely invisible and always there when I need them. I find myself using them about once a week.

Nobody is going to protect your ears for you.

I suddenly lost the hearing on one ear and it got replaced by a strong and permanent tinnitus. I quantify it as strong based on my talks with others with tinnitus.

What worked for me was stop fighting and start loving it. Now it's a perma mantra. Some somatic malfunction that enables me to ear the hum inside of me or whatever poetry works for you. Try it maybe.
Content and patch distribution for video games: Data integrity, progressive downloads, file-level patching, compression, encryption, and platform/version branching.

It's quite mind-boggling; nobody is really doing it on an industry-scale level. Every video game developer has their own way, all of which have their own problems.

It is a very hard problem. Blizzard actually came up with a very good system, but it's not in a state where it can be commercialized or open sourced.

I actually think whoever comes up with a system which solves these problems in a clean and consistent way will be sitting on a little revolution for content distribution.
The tragedy is when some people view a country as their home, and so should have the right to kick out other people who also view a country as their home.

"Illegal alien" encompasses everyone from the murderous narcotic kingpin, whom I think we can all generally agree should have little more than a jail cell for a home, to grown adults who immigrated as a toddler, and have only found out when they were much older that it was done without their parents having the right paperwork. It encompasses the queue cutting asshole, and it encompasses the panicked refuge fleeing certain death.

As our application of 'justice' is not perfect, I imagine mass deportation has ended up prosecuting - and even deporting - a few perfectly upstanding, legal citizens. Mistaken identity, misleading evidence, a little racism preventing people from digging a bit deeper... shit happens, and our institutions are made up of fallible people. We're already deporting millions a year - can you tell me with a straight face that not a single mistake will be made? That not a single mistake has been made?

I would be very surprised if you could.

Then: just how strange is it, really?
Imagine a beach. A beach is made of particles of different sizes, aka length.
Now physics apply to this beach, as a line of "processors" that grab one particle out of the array and release it to the future beach, taking the time of length of the particle. There can be emptiness between particles.

First property of this, is "entropy" that the beach is self-sorting interaction by length, as time taken to process if close to a different sized particle.

Second property is the "light-speed" of this physical simulation. This is the maximum particle length multiplied with the number of processors.

Third property is causality, causality is the range of the furthest out particle reached by the light-speed length again multiplied by the light-speed. Obviously causality can be reduced by reducing light-speed.

Fourth property is non-interaction, if you add traversable, unmoving particles into the scheduler queues, this warps "time" as in, large particles are forced to jump over them, while small particles take free particle-size time to traverse, and as being non-interacting, are invisible to the huge particles.

Sixth property is determinism. The whole physic-simulation is precise and from a deterministic input, we can derive a deterministic output, as long as causality remains unviolated.

Now for scheduling, the data-physics are rather simplistic, as the processor-front, or "time" is not repeatedly interacting with the same beach.We also can determinate ahead of time, which processor interacts with what particle, assuming light-speed is not altered.
Also note, that big particle being processed equal reduced light-speed.

Now what is optimal scheduling? Optimized for throughput, as in shoving huge particles to dedicated processors, with huge fields of non-interacting particles?
Fair scheduling, as in having all particles having average particle-size time going through?
Prevent a causality buildup over lights-peed?

PS: I once wrote a little visualization of these data-physics, and showed them around algorithm class- nobody ever beside the prof cared for it. Nice to meet people who are fascinated by mind games.

PS^2: You can use similar property's to compress data, via Conway's game of life into deterministic lock-step simulations. Never saw that used in the wild, as you need either pre-computated simulations to be fast, or some sort of relational operator on some simple pre-set of simple simulations.

PS^3: Sorry, got carried away. This is fascinating. Should upload the simulation to GitHub. Excuse any typos.
I always have these available around my house... I used to carry them with me everywhere.

I started using them in the 90s rave scene in SF. I would go to a party and would always bring earplugs with me, extra ones and hand them out. Especially to people who appeared to have had... a little too much. Sometimes handing a plastic bag of earplugs to someone who has had too much is a great thing from them as it helps them center a bit more.

I personally think that all concert ticket windows should hand these out with each ticket purchase/pickup.

You should look into something like these instead of regular foam. http://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protection.html

I got a pair for EDC after realizing the foam earplugs were ruining the music. These reduce the volume with minimal muffling. Also pretty cheap considering they'll last a long time.

I picked them up at guitar center - they can help you get the right ones.

They do teach that in some history classes. I would encourage you to read more about events such as the Rape of Nanking or Comfort Women if you have any concerns about why the Allied nations fought Japan. It was not due to the business interests of Wall Street. There were real world consequences for millions of people due to Japanese aggression and the Japanese were actively threatening numerous sovereign nations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Events_leading_to_the_attack_o...

Tensions between Japan and the prominent Western countries (the United States, France, Britain and the Netherlands) increased significantly during the increasingly militaristic early rule of Emperor Hirohito ... as part of Japan's alleged "divine right" to unify Asia under Hirohito's rule.[1]

During the 1930s, Japan's increasingly expansionist policies brought it into renewed conflict with its neighbors, Russia and China... In March 1933, Japan withdrew from the League of Nations in response to international condemnation of its conquest of Manchuria and subsequent establishment of the Manchukuo puppet government.[2] On January 15, 1936, Japan withdrew from the Second London Naval Disarmament Conference because the United States and Great Britain refused to grant the Japanese Navy parity with theirs.[3] A second war between Japan and China began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in July 1937.

Japan's 1937 attack on China was condemned by the U.S. and several members of the League of Nations including Britain, France, Australia and the Netherlands. Japanese atrocities during the conflict, such as the notorious Nanking Massacre.... The U.S., Britain, France and the Netherlands each possessed colonies in East and Southeast Asia. Japan's new military power and willingness to use it threatened these Western economic and territorial interests in Asia.
That is correct. But you mentioned Windows Mobile, so I presumed by “back to square one” you meant WM 6.5 -> WP 7.0 transition.

They indeed replaced the OS kernel while transitioning from WP7 to WP8.

However, they inherited the rest of tech things from WP7. Both .NET and Silverlight were almost same as in WP7, they released the new non-Silverlight UI platform later with WP 8.1 update.
Same applies to GUI design, marketplace and other online services. They even inherited non-tech things as well, i.e. logo and branding.

You see, at no point they were starting things from scratch. Instead, they released new generations of products largely based on the stuff they already had developed and tested.
As a SaaS provider, would you be ok with having your competitors find out when one of their customers signs up with you?
That's certainly true for new construction, so I should probably qualify that I live in the northeast, where totally new roads are very rare, and almost all of our roads evolved from much earlier thoroughfares. The reality in other parts of the country is probably much different (and informed by our experience here, where the first roads in the U.S. were constructed). In this part of the country it is indeed true to say that almost all traffic control structures were placed because a particular spot caused accidents.
My tinnitus is hereditary, from my father's side. I have a constant ringing that my mind usually filters out unless I think about it, but some nights it can be pretty "loud".

I quote the word because I can hear even the slightest sounds like the ticking of a watch in another room in complete silence, while at the same time being overwhelmed by the ringing. I had a hearing test done a couple years ago at a neurological institute to try to diagnose other issues (migraine-related), and my hearing was higher than they could measure. So it's not damage. It's quite fascinating.

I've gone to only one concert in my lifetime, and I don't listen to loud music. I haven't been around loud equipment for any length of time.
"I must be missing something, but China is actually doing "bad things" now. The Japanese internment happened ~75 years ago. I like to think that the "West" has progressed since then."

Well, I suppose you are missing all what happened after September 11 2001, including Guantanamo bay detention camp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp).
One requires satisfying a vast overweening bureaucracy.
Normally I live in China, and rarely eat western breakfast.

Recently I returned to Australia to spend some Christmas time with my extended family.

A few mornings ago, I put some real bread I cut from a sourdough loaf in a toaster. Due to its irregular size, when it popped it didn't pop out completely, resulting in a sort of "toaster is too hot to insert fingers, toast is too hot to hold, toast is ready, find metallic implement to insert in to mains-powered device to extract toast" problem.

I mentally facepalmed.

Someone should really fix toasters.
I mean to expand. Yes, that works and is honestly what I rely on.

I will add that it is more cumbersome than it needs to be for family. I highly encourage everyone to make sure immediately family is joint owner of critical things. Makes transitions much easier. (Though, yes, there are valid reasons not to do that.)

AMD is prioritizing the business here, which makes perfect sense. Why would they spend more money than necessary to appease the Linux maintainers in order to serve the tiny population of Linux gamers who probably don't give a crap about how the kernel is maintained? Their business is on Windows.
Hiring in a dysfunctional job market
> The military is terrible for this.

Agreed. Especially considering they have an ENTIRE department devoted to personnel along with an office at every single unit level above platoon.
The foam earplugs are pretty cheap in bulk. I've brought bags with me to concerts and given them out. (I want to help make the world safe for acoustic music.)
> It seems uncomfortable, but how does it compare to how the Japanese treated the Chinese during the war?

You are committing the fallacy of relative privation.

> Its just like all these self righteous people who want to call Bush an idiot for the wars. If your Wife, kids, friends were under a pile of cement in downtown Manhattan on 9/11 you would probably have no issue with bombing the f* out of who ever you were told was responsible.

Bush's wife, kids, and friends were not under a pile of cement, and it was Bush who falsely told America that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11.

Yes, grieving people will do irrational things. That is why our leaders have a moral obligation to not manipulate them into doing that.
How is it worse? Storing them on a piece of paper in my safe or hidden in my home is a lot less risky.

Can malware or a MITM attack compromise connecting to a password manager? It seems like anyone anywhere could gain access to the password managers severs(exploit) or my computer (malware).

For paper password, someone would need to know my address and then break into my house.

I personally just use memory.

Thanks for emphasizing this, and I agree I need to qualify my statement. I haven't completely understood the restrictions yet, but the effectiveness of this device has to be conditional on the fact that the IR laser is a laser, or otherwise is in some low-entropy coherent state. Otherwise, it could be used to transform part of a uniform IR bath into high-frequency photons, passively generating a temperature gradient from nothing.

The incoherent case is the relevant situation when you're talking about passive glasses for viewing a scene in ambient IR light.

Here's one place where this is mentioned:

I believe tinnitus is neurologic, in that there is no noise to cancel out.
I'm obviously referring to the last degree that the person received and not to learning in general.
This is cool. Something i've wished for. Its kinda sad that many restaurants/bars are so noisy that one cannot enjoy a conversation - http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014240527487040228045750410...
It's insane how loud some movie theaters are nowadays. My first experience with this was three years ago in Hong Kong, watching "Pacific Rim". At first I thought it was a technical problem and looked around me to see how other guests react, but nobody seemed to mind, apart from our small group of Europeans. I seriously contemplated leaving because it was almost unbearably loud and I was worried about my hearing.
Lately I've had similar experiences here in Austria, so it seems the trend is moving towards louder movies in cinemas, though I really hope they at least make an exception for children's movies, since it would be a shame to submit them to such a loud environment for hours at a time. (not that it isn't bad for grown-ups too, it's just especially worrying with children)
Correct! Repeatedly slapping Japan was reasonable because of Japan's imperial ambitions, e.g. Taiwan(1895), Manchuria(1905), Korea(1910) etc.
And, England and some other European countries were not 'repeatedly slapped', even though they were also imperialist, may be far longer, may be far worse!

> because they knew the US would come after their empire at some point.

This makes it sound as if the US only acted to end competition against another Empire. Japan invaded numerous territories for access to resources and committed horrible atrocities while doing so.

The attack on Pearl Harbour may have been preemptive but the only reason for Japan to fear attack from others was due to actions of the Japanese.
Not how I took that. There are large parts of his books that are difficult to read. Yes. However, they are a lot more approachable than you would think. Most of them are oddly written, but his humor is pleasant and I have found thinking of algorithms similar to how he puts them helps. A lot.

It has helped humble me though, to know that pretty much everything he presents requires study. I have had few things from his book that I just got. Most required trying several times before they clicked.

And, if you ever read some of his afterwards, there are plenty of places where he concedes mistakes he made. Is really nice to see.
Isn't a toaster oven a solution to this?
I think a better analogy in this case is:

You witness a guy setting your neighbor's house on fire, then he sets the house across the street on fire.

So you find everyone whose eyes are the same color as your neighbor and run over them with your car.
I find using wood toaster tongs to be quite sufficient.

I was surprised to learn that this has got to be one of the only languages which is easier to compile than interpret. When compiled the language reduces to basically a single-register assembly with a one-to-one character-to-line ratio. Bracket branching can be extremely easily implemented with jump labels and `test` + `jnz` statements without having to worry about things like parsing and jump table construction at all.
My tinnitus was caused by a movie theater. It was the first showing in an imax theater and I was seated in the top row (probably directly under a kicker).
I'm sorry. No actual senior person who is senior at java or c# takes months of babysitting to switch to the other. The beauty of a senior person over someone who is junior and knows only js, is that the senior person should have used many languages over their careers. Picking up a new language and/or framework is what senior people should be doing best. Most of the factors that go into a proper maintainable solution are all language agnostic. Good design, DI, IoC, all of the 12 factor app suggestions are all language independent.

Even when I was back in college many years ago, only the first class taught a language. From that point forward the teacher of each class said we're using language X and suggested a book if you needed help learning.
Have HOA and totally agree. So many key functions that could be improved: submit work orders and report security incidents online, pay dues and special assessments electronically, review association budget, monthly news and events, etc.

Problem is these who would benefit (residents) are often disconnected from those against it (the employees). You would need boards that really are sold on the benefit.
By that (deeply silly) logic, 'having a GUI' is 'deliberate idle time'.

Yes,there is ageism but there is also some remnant of meritocracy in IT development and operations (though both the evolution of devops and enterprise agile + ci/cd tool culture will eventually kill that imo).

The only way to remain in the IT game at the age of 45+ is to learn constantly and use your aggregate experience to determine what is good and bad and necessary. When most of the 20+ year IT veterans are in set piece environments they enabled or abetted...technological advent and invention is the enemy.

All the musings on how great a person you really are contra|outside tech are band-aids on reality. If you make your living in technology: be better than the other guy or be useful to them. That's all there is. Otherwise your days are numbered.

We can ramble on about salad days and personal achievement but the younger guys snicker and say 'listen to this fossil' and do their thing. As you would have in their shoes.

The only reason why this is challenging for me is because I use passwords not just when I'm home: I could use them at work, or on my phone (being anywhere - something probably not considered back in 2005?).

So having this list of passwords on a piece of paper (or whatever) becomes difficult since I'd need to consult it many times, leading to:

1. Higher risk of someone stealing it from me.

2. Higher risk of losing it.

So far, I've used some mental mneumonics to remember passwords (which is not safe since it can be easily discovered by a machine learning algo for example) + 2 factor auth.

I wonder if there's a better option though.
