Wow, i never considered this but it makes sense and i imagine is very effective.

Do you know of any well documented cases of this (though by its nature, any case of this is probably not well documented)?
Which really makes me hope that the Uber Elevate concept is smoke and mirrors, and they aren't going to try and disrupt their way through aviation regulations.
I can't see how this is a DRM play. With HDMI, it's not as if you could easily capture the FPD-Link signals after the video had been decrypted. With digital audio, you still have to drive a two terminal analog transducer. It's trivial to turn a signal for driving a speaker into something that can be recorded with an audio interface.

I was rummaging through a bin of outdated tech the other day looking for something. I found an old iPod Nano (3rd gen I think). That thing is smaller and thinner than any smartphone and still packs a headphone jack. The 'thinness' argument is bogus.
I second this. I've been using Bluetooth headphones and earbuds for years and I was shocked at how well the AirPods worked. Zero dropouts.

If you're into higher-end headphones, I can heartily recommend the B&W P7 Wireless. Fantastic sound and the Bluetooth has been extremely stable for me. And they have a wired port as well, so if you want to go that route at any time they still have you covered.
This is just a rude and dismissive comment for no reason other than smug snarkiness.
Yet memory, battery, heat, etc are vague, quite technical arguments while 99% of headphones not working is a decidedly non-technical argument.
I always wonder how these sort of things square away with Jeveron's Paradox [1]. To me, a stable energy/capita isn't prima-facie evidence that they are more efficient! It suggests prices are higher than they should be.

I dunno, maybe I've misunderstood what energy efficiency is.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox

EDIT:

http://www.electricitylocal.com/states/california/ & using electricity price as an energy price proxy - average residential use is ~30% reduced vs national average, and rate is ~30% higher. I'd believe the "Rosenfeld Effect" is the key to per-capita use if it is the factor keeping these costs relatively high.
That is exactly what it is.

I wonder if OP is busy defending Serial, Parallel, and even the PS/2 port to this day as well?
I've got AirPods and have since launch. I LOVE them.

To be fair: I've had to re-pair them twice after they just wouldn't connect.

Once in a while only one comes on at first and it takes a few seconds for the other to 'kick in', but that's automatic.

A handful of times I've had one cut out and come back within a second or so.

But that's daily (at work) use since launch. I'm perfectly happy with them, these aren't serious issues.

So my car doesn't have bluetooth. I use a headphone adapter thing. I had a bluetooth one that failed after less then a year and was quite expensive. My option I guess is to play the roulette and buy another bluetooth adapter brand hoping it works better?

Or maybe people think I should buy a new car? Obviously I need to buy new headphones, which sucks because mine are nice. And then these bluetooth headphones run out of batteries frequently, you need to remember to charge them, batteries don't usually last more than 3-4 years either so you are rebuying all your headphones every 3-4 years now?

I'm all for improved technology, but for me this is a step strictly backwards. It doesn't improve quality, it's far less convenient, and far more expensive.
Maybe not completely orthogonal, but I was thinking specifically of how treatment of immutable borrows show how one could partially tack on borrowing semantics to a non-linear/affine language for at least a modicum of use-after-free protection, and also it's a common misconception that linearity ("ownership") and the borrow checker are synonymous rather than distinct-though-intertwined concepts.
Bluetooth Headset:

PRO:

- no cable that annoys you

CON

- heavy, thus fall out your ear while running.
- small battery (which evolves, but slowely)
- more expensive
- redundant audio processors
- mostly low quality audio processors
- bluetooth is unstable

Cable Headset

PRO

- good audio quality
- low price (in comparison)
- light, stays in your ear while jogging
- usable on a range of devices
- compact design
- make use of a huge battery, namely the one in your phone

CON

- the cable breaks after some time
- the cable restricts you

I don't see the why I would want to change my standard headphones for a technology that is bound to fail me over time, either by running out of juice or by a bluetooth hickup. I wouldn't buy a phone without a headphone jack. Period.
I might be in his userbase part of the time. It seems exa does have some features I'd find handy once in a while in addition to ls. I think "replacement" is going too far for me. Some of the subthreads talking about actually aliasing 'ls' to 'exa' sound to me like they're going to break some little-known features on their systems. I'm in the "potential supplement" camp I guess.
I'd rather see the actual historical events that happened (like a movie made by a time machine) rather than reconstructions from extant organisms and fossils.

BTW, humans can kinda see polarized light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haidinger%27s_brush).

Interestingly, cuttlefish have monochromatic vision but their camouflage matches the color of their surroundings. Presumably, they get the color signal through color-capable receptors in their skin.
I think what's really in discussion here is what the default should be. ls was originally conceived and implemented in a period when all the files you would be dealing with could be measured in bytes easily, and would almost never be over four digits. Many common files today (any MP3, most word processing documents, almost every image except for thumbnails, etc) are nine or more digits, and at that level it's very easy to lose track of a digit or two, which is misjudging by an order of magnitude or two.

Human readable units helps quite a bit with this, and I think that makes it a sane default. As long as you can specify you want to see bytes, and the sorting is done on the actual byte value, there's little lost because the majority of the time it will help rather than hurt.

Not justifying the removal of the headphone jack by any means, but bluetooth earphones (good ones) are amazing when it comes to running, working out, skiing, biking etc. when you don't want to deal with wires running through your clothes.
That is a very US-centric view of free speech. In many other (developed, democratic) countries, a lot of the shit 8chan does would be viewed as incitement to violence, hate speech, and/or invasion of privacy. The absolutist conception of free speech in the US is an outlier.
We've got a few apps where that's been a customer requirement. The thinking is that 1) there are enough people who either do not use a pin/fingerprint to secure their phone and 2) lots of people let other people use their phone (especially parents with kids) - sometimes the argument that securing the PII in the app is a reasonable choice.

(I occasionally worry that my phone's bitcoin wallet does not do this. There is occasionally a large enough balance in there that I'd really like to have to touchid to open it and transfer those bitcoin out... Not quite worried enough to investigate whether other wallet options do it, but sometimes I hand my phone to someone to show them a pic and think "Do I _really_ know this person well enough to trust they won't poke around my phone and try to distract me enough to swipe some bitcoin???")
My (desktop) wireless (non-standard) USB headphones work fine with all my Android devices using a USB-C OTG adapter. But needing a dongle for a dongle that's going to stick out of your pocket sucks, compared to just plugging in the cable. Plus the whole battery thing...
It would be interesting to know if Paws is now considered production quality. It has been under development for quite some time with the "beta quality" disclaimer.
I use colorized ls by default and get a bit peeved by how I have to jump through hoops to get that on OSX by default. If it works out. i'll probably alias "ls" to "exa" in the future.

That said, the binary isn't self-contained (I know, I know) so I was in the middle of compiling it from source before being pulled away for work. Looking forward to trying it.
I haven't used or tried AirPods, but every Bluetooth device i have tried has a noticible to awkward lag when watching video on a phone.

This ranges from earphones to my sound system in the house. So unless wireless can solve that problem, it seems like we are giving up something by making the switch.
Well, they create a culture of distrust, and when crossed with issues like drug use which may not be relevant to work concerns, it's going to scare high-value prospective employees.

There would have to be a reasonable expectation that one’s actions would cause death. Whether we think that their actions would reasonably cause death or not wouldn’t matter, what matters is what could be proven. There would have to be evidence that Uber knew that there was a “reasonable” chance of death. That’s would be a very tough bar to reach in a courtroom. A “chance” of death wouldn’t be good enough, but the “likeliness” of death. Under US law there is no real case. Even on the civil side, there wasn’t anybody injured and financial damages to the victim would be minimal, so it would be a case that would go nowhere.
And all it took was the threat of a lawsuit.
The inherent racism in your example notwithstanding, the two examples you chose aren't even comparable. You didn't say "a person of color" and "a white person". You said "a person of color" and a "white banker that worked at Bear Sterns". That's pure apples and oranges.

The relevant lived experience is being a banker at Bear Stearns, not the race of that banker. Also, how do I know the person of color isn't also a banker at Bear Sterns. I worked in Wall Street years ago, and yes, I had co-workers that were people of color.
Talk to target customers?
Good analysis, and that doesn't even include the phone itself:

Having a 3.5mm Jack on a smartphone:

PRO:

- Compatible with nearly 100 years of audio technology

- Inclusion does not prevent usage of other means of wired/wireless audio transmission - usbc, bluetooth, wifi

CON

- Phone thickness minimum is hard-set to 3.5mm (not even sure this is a con)

- ....cost to.. design? I don't even know.

> (if you want to read an infuriating story about rental car corporations, this really is one)

Notwithstanding that it shouldn't take legislation to "don't rent out cars under active recall for profit until repaired", even the linked article hardly sounds "infuriating" about rental providers:

"In a commendable move, the rental car industry, including Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Dollar- thrifty, Alamo, National, and the American Car Rental Association, as well as many smaller rental car companies, helped persuade lawmakers to vote for the Act, and worked alongside Cally Houck, Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, and other supporters for passage of the new law. General Motors and Honda broke ranks with other auto manufacturers and also supported the bill"
And that is the problem, the asker has generally moved on and will never visit the question again.
So your solution here is to hope that battery life improves, rather than using the already present, more widely supported an almost objectively better solution of headphones jacks?

My wired headphones don't run out of battery and drain a tiny amount of power from my phone - far less than bluetooth.

> They work with your smartphone and your laptop.

You mean like my wired ones do? With the added benefit of better audio quality?
Great summary but also important to note that Kuhn didn't believe (unlike Popper) that science moved towards some final destination or explanation. Instead he saw each paradigm as optimal for what it was trying to express.
>In order to send any transaction on Ethereum, you are required to pay a small fee to the Ethereum network. We call the amount used to pay these fees “gas” (like money for gas to make your car run). The network sets the “gas price” (the amount required to transact on the system). Generally, the more gas you include in your transactions, the faster it will be processed.

The gas terminology is confusing, so many people get it wrong. Someone on HN mentioned 'gas' should have been called 'cycles' to make its meaning clearer.

Gas is how much Ethereum network resources (EVM operations, reads/writes to state, etc) a transaction uses. The amount of gas each EVM instruction uses is hardcoded in the protocol. The gas price is how much ETH each unit of gas costs. This is negotiated between miners and users in the market. The higher price you offer, the more likely your transaction will be picked up by a miner.
> Sure Tesla is in a 'war' against the existing auto-industry but I wouldn't say it is one that they won yet.

As the author states, the auto industry is acting like the allies in the early parts of the second world war. We all know how that ended.

We haven't gotten to the beginning of the end for this "war", in fact I don't think we've gotten to the end of the beginning. We're witnessing opening feints in the battle for supremacy in a nexus of advanced automation, sharing economy, and high availability networks.

Musk is the first one to couch the automotive industry in these terms. He won't get it perfectly, no one will, but the others will catch up. This is going to be a very interesting space for the next few decades.
I've broken plenty of headphones, normally when the wires go, but over many years and many devices I've never had a broken jack. That includes some rather violent tugs they've had. How on earth are you breaking the headphone jack on phones?
I agree with Bluetooth 4.xx audio quality. It sucks, especially for bass (I have several giant wireless headphones including one from Bose for reference). Everything sounds more flat. Hopefully the new 5.x standards will fix it.

There's one pro that you're missing for bluetooth though. One less port means it's easier to protect Pixels from water.
Writing `ls` is the first thing I do when learning a new language.
> It's trivial to turn a signal for driving a speaker into something that can be recorded with an audio interface.

In theory, yes, it's trivial. But it's not trivial to 99.9% of people that listen to music.

Also, I don't think it will be about preventing the re-recording of the music. Nobody wants to keep a music library anymore, just as nobody keeps a movie library. Is the music industry really losing money to "pirates" anymore?

The DRM will be used to control which devices you can listen to music on. As Jay-Z's last album was only available on his streaming service, I predict that the next gimmick will be that you can only listen on his headphones.
I haven't checked out Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection but if you want another book that I think speaks from a similar angle, and that I know has a scientific grounding, check out A Guide to Better Movement by Todd Hargrove[1].

The crux of some recent research into pain can be summarized in a few points:

* Sometimes you'll hear patients talk about pain and look at their area of pain and find nothing in their bones/muscles/etc that would indicate they should experience pain, and sometimes you'll look at other patients and their bones/muscles/etc and find they should experience pain but they don't.

* If you have three cups of water–two of them warm, the middle one cold–and stick a finger in each cup, your finger that is in the middle, cold cup will actually feel a hot, burning sensation. Try it yourself. Pain can be misleading and not indicative of actual danger.

* Similarly, ever play a sport and not feel an injury until the next day? (I'm not talking about soreness.) This indicates that pain can be silenced, and that underlying physical damage doesn't immediately and directly cause a sensation of pain.

The mind-body connection in essence is this: your body is the territory, and your mind is the map. Your map of the territory can become out of sync with the way the territory actually is. The body is incredibly adaptable, if you teach your body to feel pain, it will, if you teach your body to move freely, it will. This doesn't mean, if you're feeling pain, go and do crazy things and hump the dragon so to speak. It does mean: approach the dragon. Lean into the pain. Allow yourself to feel pain. Recognize the pain and listen to it and learn more about where the flare-up line exists in your body. Constantly strive to elevate where the flare-up line is, mindfully and with good vibes. :)

Increasingly we're moving away from a past where physical pain is stigmatized.

> It would be surprising if glyphosate turned out to be toxic, because it straightforwardly targets a metabolic pathway that plants have and the entire kingdom of Animalia lacks.

Don't be so high and mighty about the science against glyphosate being flimsy, then throw out your own pet theory in support of glyphosate without any scientific studies. It's hypocrisy. Either you only support theories backed by strong scientific evidence or you don't. You can't have it both ways.

That is an extremely interesting point of view, thank you for sharing. Another thought: say some criminals pass their money through a mixer and like in the scenario you described, it's deemed worthless to any exchanges/payment processors because it's "dirty". Does this mean that, say they were feeling sour they couldn't book a hotel on Booking.com, could they potentially taint any public wallet address by sending tiny amounts of bitcoin from their tainted wallet to them? Can a user prevent/block coins being transferred to their account in the blockchain? If your prediction comes through, this could spell a disaster for Bitcoin because potentially every wallet could be tainted and thus all coins traced back to criminal activity.

As a side note, it's interesting to think that those "dirty" coins/wallets will be destined to circle around the black markets forever.
Cloud Computing Trends: Who Uses AWS vs. Azure?
Curious, my experience is completely the opposite of yours. Over the course of 5 smartphones from different vendors (apple, samsung, lg), I've yet to destroy a single one. This is from heavy use (near daily during lifting, running, motorcycling, plugged into phone aux, at work).

Even if you prefer bluetooth, why not include the jack as a backup/alternative? All the phones with 3.5mm that I know of also have bluetooth.
I use these - https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S305-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headph... and love them. The battery is worth a few hours, doesn't fall out (don't like earbuds), and decent sound quality (albeit i'm not an expert in what someone might deem 'quality')
I use my Bluetooth earbuds and headphones to listen to music and podcasts on my phone, my tablet, and my laptop, and to connect to my TV to watch movies or play games late at night when my roommate is sleeping. I use them at the gym, where having a cable get in the way could be a problem. I also use them to make phone calls when my hands are occupied. They work wonderfully for all these uses. I'd say that covers a lot of peoples' needs, though it sounds like it may not cover yours.

> It just seems like people added a ton of complexity to give up a few keystrokes.

It's either "only syntactic sugar" or it "added a ton of complexity". To be honest, you sound like someone who's bitter because all the hard stuff you had to learn to deal with is now super simple and intuitive.

> I like JavaScript's concurrency model (single threaded with callbacks) so I don't see any benefit to the async stuff.

This sentence also demonstrates you either don't understand the concurrency model or async/await (async/await doesn't change the concurrency model).

The syntactic sugar isn't only there to save keystrokes, it also makes code easier to read and is less prone to errors.
Curious about audiophile perspectives - I tried them and found the audio quality to be abysmal. But, I'm a snob, so who knows.
That argument gets increasingly flimsy when all public spaces that matter are owned by private corporations, both online and off.

The quotes from Alexander Hamilton and J.S. Mill in the below link sums it up well, IMHO:
http://sealedabstract.com/rants/re-xkcd-1357-free-speech/
If those activities are crimes in a country, then prosecute the crime. It shouldn't be up to a random middle-man like Patreon to be judge and jury and make those (sometimes very difficult) decisions. It's akin to my grocery deciding to not sell me an apple because I'm a suspected murderer. There are better and more formalized methods to deal with violations of social norms.
Campaign implies organization. Who do you suppose is working to shut down Monsanto?
Now we see how many other forks rise up and demand inclusion.
A given environment will give a certain kind of pressure and demand a certain kind of solution. Bring the ancestors of mantis shrimps to the treetops and neothlithic apes to the ocean floors and they would both die... If you fix that and let them somehow compete on vision they would likely converge on eyes like the those currently living in the environment have.
The classic example of shouting "Fire!" is in fact not a matter of free speech at all. It's an intentional attempt at physical harm, which falls entirely outside the realm of free of speech.

It's identical conceptually to walking up to someone and blasting an airhorn in their ear. That too is an act of physical violence, not free speech, and you're responsible for the consequences (such as hearing damage) just as with the act of shouting "Fire!".
I use it daily. I'm indifferent to it. What I love though is that I now have TouchID on the power button. That's what makes it great. The customization is nice, and I find I hit the play/pause buttons on the touch bar if I'm watching something on Youtube more frequently than locating my cursor and clicking on play/pause.
