The difference is plain as day. I currently use the closed back Beyerdynamic DT770 with an amp for listening to music, but exclusively the Bose QC25 for work and commuting.

The main difference between my Beyerdynamic DT770 and the Bose QC25 are:

1. Without any music playing but with active NC on, the QC25 feel like open-back headphones. The feel is airy and like a weight is lifted from your ears in the QC25 vs. muffled/dull/pressured in the DT770. You can sort of hear your the blood in your ears pumping in the closed-back DT770, a bit like what you would hear in a seashell. If you turn off the NC, the QC25 is about the same as the DT770 without sound. If you go back to your HD202s after having used NC for an hour or so, you'll immediately notice the difference.

2. Sound quality is much worse in the QC25, it's not even close. No rich lows, no clear highs, it's just a mess. Still, it's usable.

3. However, the killer feature is that with the QC25 you can listen at extremely low volume (think 1 bar on the iPhone) and still hear the music clearly. On the DT770 you have to play the music louder, and I find that very quiet music is better for focusing.

The Debt That Silicon Valley Owes to MLK Jr
Ah, you've put it in a much better light. "Every day" is clearly not the right description here. I think an interesting look anyway.
I am not too worried about the "threat of automation", since there are literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people working in the public sector in my small country alone that could be automated away using twenty year old technology.

But the public sector doesn't care primarily about ROI; they care about keeping their budgets growing every year. Since the public sector also strongly dislikes increased unemployment, nothing happens.
The percentage isn't orthoganol when the employer can raise or lower it...assuming the stats show employer cost only. Which some stats I have seen do.

Edit: some of the available statistics are employers reporting solely their costs, not the part of the premium they pass down. You haven't specified a source, so I have no idea where your numbers are coming from.

I'm very clear in my comment:

a. "The idea that communist leaders felt any different...". In other words "the different perspectives" they had about what caused their success. I do not believe they had different perspectives, except externally.

b. I think it's pretty clear that Moxie favours what he perceives as the superior point of view of one group over the other and he reinforces that by himself clapping with the audience in emulation of the preferred group.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that he's got simplistic ideas about Communism and Fascism. I actually don't know his politics. I understand that he talking more about the concept of historical materialism, of being part of a movement rather than being a mover. On the other hand I think a reasonable reader would infer that this goes beyond mere analogy.
Something to be aware: this is OP's first Github project. Let's be nice so it isn't the last.
It's kind of weird to say that you have a contract in a dynamically typed language. Not that it would help - types say nothing about performance or reliability.

Moving a local computation to a remote server often fails because clients have implicit assumptions about performance, but nobody is explicit about deadlines except in hard real-time programming. So in practice you get timeouts at best.
Obviously overfitting is always a concern, but deep learning has (when done correctly) found ways to mitigate concerns about overfitting.

Apologies in advance for pedantry, but OTR and TLS aren't comparable security solutions. Unlike TLS, OTR is end-to-end. You can't trust the security of an XMPP conversation that occurs over TLS connections without also trusting all the servers in between.

Meanwhile he's stubbornly defending WhatsApp and dismissing any criticism of the security flaw featured in The Guardian. Or any work towards a Signal without Google Play Services. Or most forms of criticism really. Unfortunately, most people on here follow along with anything he says, no matter how bad advice it is. Which is most likely why he won the award.

I was replying with a glib remark because the suggestion to use emacs instead was stupid to begin with.
For me, it's hard to speak against the outcome; criminals are being caught, after all. I'm wary, however, to give the government total leeway with technology. It's the issue of giving an inch to someone, and they take a mile: It (potentially) opens the door for misuse later on down the road. Whether or not a society is a democracy or a dictatorship is irrelevant, as either one can abuse the technology available to it.

I never have clear answers in cases like this one, because there is that balance between security and privacy. So far this seems to be good thing, but who knows what kind of abuse will happen down the road.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
I'm not following. I'm not looking at consumer costs, but rather average total premiums. This includes both the employer and employee's costs; it's based on the raw cost of the plan.

I'm not sure how anyone could sanely collect statistics on employee cost for health insurance, since every company handles that differently. But that doesn't matter for this discussion.
I'm somewhat confused. As the article says, buggy components are often manufactured off-site (e.g. fiberclass body), how does this make them self-sufficient?
On the contrary, while it conveys some difficult ideas, I find it quite humble to acknowledge that one's individual contribution to technology is not an act of genius but of inevitability.

> MMORPG should be left for the kids with enough spare time to raid 4+ hours a day.

4 hours a day raiding is bullshit. Most guilds raid 12 hours or so a week. The very competitive guilds traditionally only raid a lot in first 2-3 weeks (w/first week being split farm). They take time off work/uni then. Sco, for example, from best guild Method, is a Scottish fellow who worked in finance for various years (he's now full time earning money with his guild).

With Legion, its the stuff outside of raiding which takes up a lot of time. The endless grind of artifact power, legendaries, and rare epic upgrades.

It is possible to play casual though. I raid 6 hours a week (less than 1 hour a day), and out of 10 we're only 2 bosses behind on Mythic (the toughest difficult). With the last boss being exceptionally hard.
So, it is complicated.

If you graduated from a top 3 CS school, in the top 10 percent of your class, and you are going to go work for a top company like Google, FB, Uber, AND you are good at negotiating, then yes, these numbers are accurate.

If you are not in that top percent in ALL of these categories, these numbers are not even close to accurate.

I can see it from both sides.

On one hand, it's nice to have a place where politics is less-commonly discussed and where the focus can be on tech.

On the other hand, some of the most in-depth, interesting comments I've seen on political situations and views, I've seen on HN, comments that have made me seriously think. When HNers remain civil and just have thorough discussion on a political topic, I enjoy it. The problem is not letting it turn into a flamewar, and politics is one of those subjects that attracts emotional responses.

Then, finally, is the difficulty in determining what constitutes "politics", as politics intersects with technology all the time.

HN mods will draw the line, and then all we'll do is argue about where the line should be. Problem will not be solved, just moved.

> he just tells you everything is amazing

You can't even pretend that's true. Pretty much every new Nikon camera body review he puts out is a long list of 'this is exactly the same', interspersed with 'these useless numbers are bigger'.

The only recommendations I think he's given in the past 5 or so years is the D600, D7X00 for crop, and the D750 when that came out. Hell, in the reviews for later versions of a camera, he usually recommends to get an older model used. And for newbies, it's always the base model.

His monetization strategy is straightforward and transparent.

FWIW, I agree it's not a great place to point newbies, but the cynical/shill angle is too far.
Agreed about VAT. However, has there been any historical precedent to taxing automation? Up until about 100 years ago, a huge percentage of the population was agrarian. Somehow we still managed to employ or re-employ all of those people, and I don't believe we tried to put a tax on the few farmers remaining to pay for the societal costs.

>The technology to launch someone skyward is basically identical, the technology in the craft, while benefited by more modern computing (as well as enhanced material science), also largely identical.

I really don't get your statement. The Saturn V is the most powerful machine humans have ever made. No rocket has since come anywhere close to it, despite the benefits of modern computing and material science. The Space Shuttle program killed 14 astronauts, in spite of the more modern technology and the huge steps that were taken in the decades prior.

The Saturn V sent 24 men to the moon, and launched America's first space station with technology built by people using slide rules. 13 successful launches without casualties - indeed it handled situations like lightning strikes and violent POGO oscillations. It's the only machine that has ever taken humans past LEO.

The big London banks may pay double or triple compared to Paris. It's just stupid to stay in Paris if you're good and you want to work in banking/finance.

London has the top investment banks, the top edge funds, the top HFT firms, the top whatever finance thing there is in the world. There's nothing of that in Paris.

The average British bank data science is powered by ENS & ENSIMAG & co (among other top worldwide schools).
And, to exist with a minimum of fuss. Why do people get cancer, or get feeble when old? Well, if the organism can reproduce and support their offspring well enough, given the eco-niche and available calories etc, then they are Fit. So, just enough avoiding cancer to work out in the end.

Kind of like the space program, where everything is made by the lowest bidder.
As I understand it, the issues that people have with the borrow checker in Rust are the same ones they'd have in another language like C++. Only there, the language doesn't help you become aware of issues, like memory leaks or other use-after-free type bugs.

If you really don't want a hassle, then maybe you want to program in a garbage-collected language instead. But then you're potentially giving up some performance and/or memory usage savings.
Interesting points, thanks.

Are you sure point 3 is not mainly that the QC25 has much lower impedance (I think 32 Ohms) versus the DT770 which is much harder to drive?
Yes, many have, unfortunately it's a matter of certain members of management wanting it. So therefore it is.

People who become unable to participate in the market economy no longer matter to it; their preferences don't matter for the logic of market supply or market demand. The shareholders of General Electric don't care what North Koreans or the beggars of Dhaka want, because those people are effectively outside the market economy. Large numbers of working age Americans could join the beggars of Dhaka in market irrelevance, if their labor becomes obsolete and there's no progress on UBI or other waged-labor-replacement schemes.

It's true that ever-increasing ownership concentration and the decline of mass-participation market exchange wouldn't much resemble capitalism as pictured by economists circa 1950. If the richest gradually morph into neo-feudal lords rather than successful capitalists in the 20th century mold, I don't think they'll worry too much about the fine distinctions as long as they still control the best and the most of real estate and other natural resources.

I totally agree that socializing the means of production (and for real, not the hatchet job of 20th century "communist" states) is the right way to ensure that the gains of automation benefit humanity in general. But the process that ultimately leads to socializing those benefits may resemble stealing fire from the gods more than it resembles ordinary electoral politics.

> it looks to be some sensible guidelines/practices

But more notably I think, a whole bunch of custom functions and data types to be used in place of more typical C coding practices. The document references a number of (presumably custom) header files (lib/buffer.h, lib/str.h, lib/strfuncs.h, lib/array.h, lib/data-stack.h, lib/mempool.h), the Boehm GC, and use of "GCC Extensions".

Also, there seems to be one person contributing an overwhelming proportion of commits (just going by the "contributors" page). Hmm, this seems to be an example of largely a single person implementing a program in C with a priority on code safety. Impressively successfully. But with substantial effort and individual discipline employed to avoid the pitfalls of C.

I'm not sure how scalable/transferable this kind of approach is. Perhaps the takeaway here is

i) This is an impressive (mostly) individual achievement.

ii) Dovecot may have some useful libraries for improving code safety if you're forced to or are committed to using C.

iii) The effort and discipline required to achieve code safety in C in this case, might also be interpreted as a validation of the effort and time required to achieve code safety by adopting newer alternatives like Rust and SaferCPlusPlus[1] when those choices are available.

> People go through yellows because that is legal to do.

IIRC (and this may vary state to state), it actually isn't legal to go thru a yellow. From what I recall (and I'll admit I may be wrong), the actual law is that if you are before the "stop line" or intersection, and the light turns yellow, you are supposed to come to a complete stop. If, however, you are already in the intersection (your front bumper is beyond that "line"), you can proceed with caution, provided you clear the intersection before the light turns red.

Again - I may be wrong about this, and concede that it could vary across jurisdictions.
So, how do I press "go" that's mentioned in text in the overlay?
The very idea that it's irrelevant what's on the other side of a shipping line is both a powerful abstraction in economical theory, but in real life an almost perverse ethical dilemma.

A cabin fire during a launch rehearsal test on January 27 at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 killed all three crew members—Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Edward H. White II, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee—and destroyed the Command Module (CM). The name Apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was officially retired by NASA in commemoration of them on April 24, 1967.
