Nowhere. I haven't claimed that. We're having a (mostly) thoughtful discussion with different opinions, which is great.

If you read back through the hierarchy to my comment here[1], you'll see that I ask the hypothetical question, What if gay marriage were rolled back in the U.S.?, to make the point that currently you'd have to move out of the country to escape the law. I do not believe in rolling it back! I used it as an example of a law/idea where there's a difference of opinion among worldviews.

We're actually on the same page here, gnaritas. People should have equal rights, regardless of their race, gender, sexual identity, etc. Nobody should be forcing their worldview on others. But that's exactly what the federal government does by making decisions that affect everyone. Every decision they make is made from a specific worldview. It's impossible for them to make a decision that complies with every unique worldview out there.

I once wrote a static analysis tool that simply made 2 lists for every function. What Object-function it called, and what Object-functions called it. It only mapped around 98% of all calls, but ended up being extremely useful abstraction when handed a huge code base without much documentation or access to the old team.
I don't buy headphones super often, and I'm not super obsessive over it, but the people at headphone.com have always made me feel at least a little better informed:

So their server needs are growing faster than their user-base to the extent that they considered switching languages. PHP didn't seem to perform much better, so they stuck with python and got a ~12% CPU usage improvement by moving to python3. It doesn't seem like a 12% one-time improvement actually solves the original problem, though. Perhaps pypy would have been better?

For a lot of people Beats sound good enough, they are affordable (but still expensive), and built fairly well. Clearly, it's subject but to lots of people they also look good. For just about anything worn on one's head, aesthetics and comfort will be the dominating factors.

When I was a kid, my friends and I would kill time in the library by flipping through Car & Driver, Motor Trend, and Road & Track magazines trying to figure out what car is best. The Camaro might be two tenths faster in the quarter mile than the Mustang, so clearly anybody that buys a Mustang is an idiot, right? This is what a lot of headphone evaluations sound like to me.
It's lazy journalism: "some observers", "some critics", "a source close to", "insiders say" ... generic, unsubstantiated claims to support a position or a straw man.
I've found this to be true in practice though. I almost exclusively carry a decent set of sealing ear-buds for form factor reasons (they slip into my pocket) and the sound quality is just fine. Something about the way the little rubber inserts create a seal with my inner ear causes it to carry bass surprisingly well. When that seal isn't working (or doesn't exist, on cheaper hard plastic sets) the bass is nonexistant.

I suppose it's surprising because of the bud's small size, but then again, it doesn't need to drive that bass very hard either. That may help.

No of course I'm not privy to everything. It was known the board wanted to get rid of some of the Alibaba stake for cash. So they just wouldn't hire Mayer if she wouldn't allow the deal as part of her being CEO. You can of course say we don't know for sure but if we know the board really wants some cash from Alibaba and has kicked out Jerry Yang already, then it isn't hard to think that Mayer hasn't no leverage here.

Also just for basic timeline sake - in 2012, the deal was announced in the media in May, Mayer is CEO in July, and the deal completes in Sept.

The good thing about running your own business is you get experience in number of careers all at once.

What parts of your job did you enjoy the most?

- Engineering/Early innovation?

- Management

- Product

- Sales/Marketing?

What parts did you enjoy the least and stress out about, other than being a business owner?

Take that and run with it.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I like what ARM did with AArch64. AArch64 is not entirely a clean break with 32-bit ARM, but it eliminated a lot of legacy mistakes and is generally a radical shift in the direction of a clean RISC design. Unlike x86-64, which piled 64-bit support on top of the existing ISA, keeping most of the legacy intact, AArch64 aggressively addressed problems such as conditional execution, PC-as-register, the small register file, LDM/STM complexity, barrel shifter complexity, etc. Most importantly, 32-bit mode is an optional feature not mandated by the ARM architecture, hopefully paving the way to dropping the legacy stuff entirely in the future.
It depends of the specs covered. It can lead to some kind of Cargo Cult. Think of the 128 bit consoles, the 128Gb of RAM and the 12 Cores CPU for Gaming PCs.

I hear you. I don't allow myself to play MMORPGs, 4x strategy, or building/management games for this reason. Not only is it so easy to get sucked into them, they don't ever end, as there is always more to do or the opportunity to optimize some aspect of your gameplay.

I only play games that are either finite in nature or are unlikely to remain interesting for hours upon hours of gameplay.
Which is not something we should unconditionally follow. Logicallee makes a good point about that there must be some correlation and the title is kinda ridiculous.

70D vs D3300 is not a fair comparison. 70D has features geared towards enthusiasts such as articulating screen, more AF points, weather sealing, mg-ally body, pentaprism viewfinder, etc. If these features are not important to you, you can choose the cheaper 700D for about ~$600. However, I do agree that for entry level cameras, Nikon cameras tend to provide more value for money.

God damnit.
Nikon has better sensors, but not so much better that it makes a noticeable difference. For a camera body you are looking for many things: features, durability, ergonomics, etc, but most of all you are looking for what glass works. If you've got a collection of Canon lenses, that Canon is what you should get. Lenses are easily the most important part of a photography rig, and Nikon is not the clear winner there.

I always think of number theory when the idea of uselessly abstract knowledge comes up - it was the purest of pure math for centuries and it was absurd to suggest that things like the nature of prime numbers and the divisibility of integers would somehow be applied in industry.
Then computers and cryptography came around and now there's a 2 trillion dollar ecommerce industry that depends on prime factorization being hard so people don't steal your bank information.

> Roaming is relatively niche

From the EU's perspective that was a problem, limiting 2 of 4 aspects in the single market's stated goal of free movement of goods, services, people and capital, namely services and people.

Services are still somewhat limited (you can't just buy the Latvian 15€/month service as a German in Germany, telcos made sure of that), but given the reliance of contemporary folks on connectivity, it helps somewhat on the "free movement of people" bit.

> net effect will be: poor people who do not use roaming (e.g. because they cannot afford vacations abroad)

There's a contingent in European's poor (from Eastern Europe) that works abroad (Western Europe) and benefits from not having to deal with roaming anymore.

(also, from my experience from when I was poor[0], it can be ridiculously cheap to have a few days of international vacation within the EU)

[0] poor being relative, but I think most official metrics would have covered me.
Even so, most businesses aren't going to want to handle a suitcase full of $200,000+ in cash, unless they are a bank. My lawyer handled all the cash (cashier's check) in my house buying transaction. My lawyer doesn't own an armoured car and doesn't have the ability to handle all that cash.

In my opinion, Excel is not a good platform for documenting research because it is very time consuming to audit and try to reproduce the results since there is no standard way for inputting data.

There is a long list of cases where companies and governments have made huge decisions that were based on Excel spreadsheets where the models had fundamental flaws [0][1][2].

I've spent some time on frequency correction for headphones and reference monitors in my home studio. If you'd like awesome headphones that have a truly flat frequency response, that you can then adjust with EQ to your taste, one option is to get Sony MDR 7506's and run the audio output through a VST plugin (Using soundflower, ableton, etc) which corrects the EQ. You can either buy precalibrated headphones from sonarworks or use a generic but headphones specific calibration profile for the plugin.

It's really cool hearing what they heard in the studio control room for the final mix. And often surprising.

You can get a range of other precalibrated pro audio headphones or correction profiles from sonarworks.

Consumer headphones are just silly IMHO. Artificially boosted frequencies with prices up to $400. A set of precalibrated MDR7506's is around $220.

If you don't care about truly flat response with correction, you can get a set of AKG K240's for $100 bucks and they're super comfy, amazing sound and loved universally by audio pros.
Even if you consider death a state of health – which is odd, who says "yeah, they're really unhealthy: they're dead" – the path to that state differs. Some people get sick very quickly right before death, while others are sick their whole life before death. Their required medical care vastly differs.
> Creating a collision is possible, making it work in a way that conforms to the manner of which Git uses SHA1 and also provides the malicious code is the part that the Shattered research did not prove possible.

This is incorrect. Git attaches a header to the blob before hashing, that much is true, but the technique used by Shattered to create colliding hashes can be used to create colliding Git hashes as well — you simply need to take the header into account in advance of doing the collision. (Which is why the particular PDF files released by Shattered do not hash to the same value in Git, but that does not mean that the technique used does not apply: it does.) At the time of shattered's release, I commented on this[1]; that comment goes a bit more into the paper's findings.

> Or you aren't understanding the key statement of his comment

Frankly, I thought the key statement of his original comment, as applicable to SSH, was, why use SHA1 when SHA256 exists, and doesn't have these issues? Take the route that requires you to not need to be a cryptographer to figure out if it'll work or not.

beats are built REALLY badly, look at any of the teardowns. They also use garbage no-name drivers that are identical to what you get in $20 headphones, again look at the teardowns.
I read it that way too, but maybe that's another reason for asking the question? ("Who is going to be hostile about insignificant decisions?")
>They use those exact test images for tuning all their algorithms, and as a result end up with a camera which is great for those exact things tested, but might be lousy for the real world.

Well, it's not like actual test images are exactly microbenchmarks.
Yeah, this part was pretty funny too:

> By the time this decade rolled around, Node.js and Go had arrived on the scene, highlighting the need for concurrency as a first class concept.

Again, no mention of Java? Seems like an odd blind spot.
“(7) ‘prepaid access device’ means an electronic device or vehicle, such as a card, plate, code, number, electronic serial number, mobile identification number, personal identification number, or other instrument, that provides a portal to funds or the value of funds that have been paid in advance and can be retrievable and transferable at some point in the future.”.

I always thought it was a matter of economy more than anything else. If all you need to do is produce text it's very "easy" to build a massive branching storyline with lots of failure conditions and truly modifying developments since text is cheap. When each of these branches also need additional hours of voice acting, more characters to design and animate, more locations to model, etc it becomes increasingly expensive to make a storyline that has strongly branching paths. There was a time where there was a nice sweet spot that allowed for a decent amount of creativity and branching and opportunity for failure, but as games started to have more and more of these details, developers started making choices more minor, making choices that are illusory, and building at most 2-3 endings that only really branch very late game or mostly rely on mechanics (oftentimes how many people you killed) so that there is less that needs to be adjusted in terms of plot.

Secondarily, you also likely have pressure to make a game that is enjoyable for as long as possible and caters to as many people as possible, which discourages building/allowing critical failure points like the pie in King's Quest V, and maybe also discourages branching too hard so that all content that can be experienced is mostly easily digestible in one playthrough (the subtext being, if you're only ever going to be paid once per user in the context of a single player game, that any path not explored by most people is essentially a massive waste of money so the experience should be streamlined to a tunnel as far as possible to a cost limit the minimum expected adventure).
Chime's main use is video. Slack's main use is text/chat. While both have components of the other, they are optimized for different primary use cases. Pretending otherwise is silly.
It's annoying that they provide the mfg of the acoustic model and DAC, but not the headphones which would be required to reproduce or filter the experiment.

Most consumer audio equipment is a scam. I'd be interested in the subset of equipment from Shure, AKG, Sennheiser, Sony, Beyerdynamic where the design was actually intended to produce a broad frequency range correctly.
Nothing is easier than using real paper and a pen.
Instagram also uses Cython a lot (so I've heard from a talk), so switching away from CPython might not provide as much of a speed up as one might otherwise expect, as one can get C levels of speed (and concurrency) with significant effort using Cython. Also, Cython and PyPy might not play so well together...
years of experience != age.
This isn't surprising: the base level sound quality is probably good enough for the vast majority of users, so they don't care about minor differences there.

I worked for an outfit that had a similar problem: we tried differentiating ourselves on quality, only to find out that all customers expected that the vendors in that space already had high quality as the price of entry into the market (a fairly accurate assumption). As a result, they didn't care about "we're better quality than those guys." They cared about "those guys make equipment that's easier to use than yours."

Price has never been correlated with quality, for any product, ever.

Price is correlated with perceived value, which includes quality, brand recognition, brand opinion, current style, and a long list of other factors.

(And, yes, this is a horrible use of the word 'correlated.' 'Derived from' or 'based on' would be much better.)

FWIW, it looks like half of the prices were within $10 to $100 USD, the bulk of the rest were >100 and <1000. About 1 was <10 and a few were >1000.

I don't think they're measuring the wrong thing, although a human might be interested in more things than frequency response.

Just goes to show that perhaps the most important thing in selecting headphones is comfort and the context in which they will be used.

For "audiophile listening experiences" an equalizer and CA-style cans might be a good idea and give a lot more bang for the buck than shelling out several hundred just for the cans.

I know. We have some wacky use cases where it would make sense. The real answer would probably be to say "Don't use Node for this" but that's a different discussion above my pay grade.
Most of the time I've seen people refer to code as a liability, they aren't referring to the 'cost-center' mentality, but rather recognizing code is the liability you incur in order to get the business value [1], and thus you should minimize the code you write per solved business problem.

Like anything else, it's a political issue. Meaning: citizens have to give a shit about it, be informed, and be vocal about it with their representatives. Republicans in Congress just voted to roll back Dodd-Frank, and are aiming to get rid of the CFPB. Why? Because the CFPB is actually trying to protect people from shit like this.
I don't think this is "normal" in any sense, however, as other have commented, if this is company equipment, there is usually little you can do outside of leaving the company.

In my limited experience working in and as a member of enterprise IT environments, the people specializing in "security" typically seek to reduce as much as possible, what a user is able to do on the machine. Unless you can document why you need extra privileges and have management that will support you, it is a waste of time to ruffle feathers.

Even some of the legal stuff that Wells Fargo does boggles the mind. My parents had a Wells Fargo mortgage. It's now been sold twice and I've had to setup automatic monthly payments for them each time. I live in fear of two things...

First, some enterprising fraudster will call/mail that they've acquired the loan and demand payment. Given how often loans are sold, it wouldn't take much conning to convince retirees that a payment is due and a check needs to be mailed to some P.O. Box.

Second, these companies that buy up loans don't seem all that technically capable. I fear that, one day, my parents' loan will be bought by one without an automatic monthly payment system. Again, someone with shady morals could start a company that looks to buy mortgages on properties where the mortgage is a fraction of the cost of the home and then not offer a auto-pay feature. When people inevitably miss a couple of manual payments, they could aggressively try to foreclose.

Both of these opportunities for abuse are made possible by banks with mostly positive reputations doing something that shouldn't be allowed. If a bank wants to offload debt that they've initiated, we should require them to continue to process customer payments on that debt and forward the money to whomever they sold to. Consumers should have the right to choose which companies they have business relationships with and we shouldn't have that relationship changed without our permission.
