They don't sound fantastic, they sound accurate, which is a vital distinction to make about monitors in a studio environment. Consumer speakers should sound good, studio monitors should sound exactly like what's on tape or disk.

NS10s sound a little harsh in the mid-range and brittle on the high end. But, you can discern all the frequency ranges (except the low end, where they roll off and need to be filled in with subs) with great precision (for the era).

The reason for their good reputation among many was their accuracy and pervasiveness. The reason for the poor reputation was their fatiguing harshness, making them less comfortable for long mixing sessions. Both can be true; we can recognize the good and the bad.

Your assessment is correct that they are approaching you at your lowest. You said it yourself, albeit in different terms: they're trying to take advantage of you. This is a good sign that they're at least somewhat threatened by you and want to make you complacent.

It's not clear from your question what they've offered in terms of how many clients you'll get or how they'll decide that, but I'd imagine if you took the deal it would somehow work out that you got very few clients, those clients would be low quality, and you'd have a big loss in autonomy. When you give away parts of your company, you want to do it because you can see them giving you more than that back in value, not because it could help you barely scrape along (which is what it sounds like you're looking at with this deal).
I worked in a studio that had both, and the Minimus did much the same job as the NS10s, namely spot checking mixes. I found the Minimus even more unpleasant to listen to (even more bandwidth limited), but I wasn't listening to them for pleasure or for extended periods of time. I just wanted to zoom in on the midrange to make sure that crucial area was actually as in balance as I thought it was, and they served that purpose well enough.
The platforms that survive tend to be either incredible focused around a certain niche (ycombinator), or heavily moderated with a strong editorial hand (metafilter). Slashdot is still limping on as a much less interesting site since it had money behind it but places like Kur05hin (however it was spelled) and its ilk quickly imploded.

People like to complain about heavy-handed moderation but all the experiments to try and build self-moderating communities eventually get overrun with trolls and (worse) self-promoters.

Any automated system will eventually be gamed, something that even huge sites like twitter and youtube are starting to realize now that state-level actors are using them for their own purposes.
This has been easily the most obnoxious change of iOS 11. It is super annoying to have to dismiss the list of available WiFi networks every single time I open my phone while walking around the city, no matter how many times I turn my WiFi off.
The NX series is a spiritual sequel to the NS10. It was designed with a similar philosophy to the NS10, though most reviews I've read indicate they are less harsh and more accurate due to modern manufacturing improvements. I'd guess the NX series is just a better NS10. I have a high level of confidence in Yamaha's mid-range pro and prosumer audio gear, though I've never used that specific speaker.

Keyword there I think is "runs of phrasing content". That means that you can "nest" different tags but not those of the same tag. The nesting <b> inside <b> like op is causing the parser to ignore the depth of nesting of <b> elements and just closes the bold content on first </b>.
This is why I usually only use man pages to reference a command-line option or as a quick reference. If you're new to a tool, a quick web search finds a much more informative tutorial which saves you time, despite being more verbose.

I've caught up a bit on the thread and admit that excellence in the time domain is highly correlated to what audio-wonks call 'inner detail'. And if it sounds lively at low volumes, that helps even more.

Case in point: folks love Low there design speakers (full range single driver cone) for excellence in both those aspects, plus they are super efficient which allows pairing with exotic low-power triode valve amps — also known for fantastic detail. However, Lowthers are usually 1/4 wave transmission line enclosures, IIRC, and IME studio requirements are best suited to acoustic suspension designs.

Long story short, it sounds like the NS-10 is better than I have always been told.

A rather obvious omission:

the author is aware of the Paratransit issue while totally ignoring the fact that Paratransit passengers generally need assistance from a human for things like boarding assistance (in and out) and storage/retrieval/assembly of gear/chair/etc.

That needs strikes me as making driverless vehicles an inherently incomplete solution for Paratransit needs.
My read of the article is that they're blocking behavior that is abused by advertisers. I don't see how that can be a bad thing. It's good for users, but it's also good for Google and legitimate non-invasive advertisers. By allowing annoying and abusive ads, all ads get a bad name. I don't like ads either, but until a form of micro-payments becomes standard they are a pretty effective way of funding things that would otherwise not be available.

Who do you want to be: (a) the guy who moves across the country to advance his career (to take his "dream job"), or (b) the guy who lets the opportunity pass by to stay near a girl who isn't substantially committed (i.e., not married or engaged) to him?

I do think there's room for a third option where you take the job and get the girl, but you will need to figure out if you are actually going to propose to her or if you are just "likely going to propose".

> I'm experiencing a lot of anxiety lately that I'm missing the cryptocurrency boat

That is just the hype getting to you. Anything that sells itself with as much hype as bitcoin does with the implicit (sometimes explicit) message that you better BUY NOW or you'll miss the boat... it means it is probably too good to be true.

The deeper you dig into bitcoin, the less attractive it actually is. Everything from the super shady set of characters that are at the top of its pyramid who hold the majority of its coins to all the promises it makes that are blatant mistruths (it isn't free, it isn't instant, it isn't trustless, it isn't decentralized....). Bitcoin is not a good investment.
Essentially they offered two employees of their company stationed at my location (we are in different states, and I’m located next to a massive potential customer).

I would get to “manage” the employees, and pursue clients backed by some certifications that the large company has and I don’t (like CMMI, ISO, and the like).

Also, they cannot apply to certain contracts earmarked for “small businesses”, but I can. And if I get it, I can make the large business my subsidiary for contractual purposes.

I feel like they see me as a tactical chip instead of a great engineer, which is what I strive to be.

> resolve the real loss of money experienced by everyday users who turn off WiFi

The way I've run every smartphone I've owned is to turn off mobile data, WiFi, and Bluetooth and only turn them on as and when I need them. I prefer it to work that way.

The way this works in iOS 11 is now inconsistent and confusing. I can turn mobile data on and off via Control Centre. But, while I can turn WiFi on in Control Centre, I can't turn it off again. The mobile data icon in Control Centre has two states: highlighted for on and non-highlighted for off. The WiFi icon in Control Centre has three states: highlighted for on, non-highlighted for disconnected, and non-highlighted with a line through it for off. For consistency the mobile data icon should also have a line through it.

I can turn WiFi off via Settings, but doing it this way is slower and clumsier than it used to be in iOS 10. As a workaround, I've added Settings to my phone's taskbar. Force pressing the Settings icon pops up a menu which lets you get to the WiFi settings directly.

I'm on unlimited data plan too, I was constantly running into the device refusing to do what I wanted because it was trying to protect me from imaginary "unexpected charges".

Strangely enough it was actually much nicer using my Android phone as the hotspot for my MacBook instead of the iPhone, because (recognizing the iPhone) it refused to auto-connect (probably those "charges" again eh?), and it would turn off the hotspot whenever the last person disconnected (so I'd have to keep my phone on all night, or be woken early by data-hungry housemates), probably for power saving.

I do understand these are sensible defaults for most people. But it stops being sensible when the defaults are inappropriate, get in the way constantly, and cannot be changed.

I guess their philosophy is something like, "Make 80% of people happy and totally disregard everyone else."
The workaround I use is to add Settings to the taskbar. If you force-press Settings it pops up a menu which allows you to get to the WiFi section directly. Turning off WiFi in Settings turns it off (you'll see the WiFi icon has a line through it in Control Centre).
"Reason" is a far right-wing publication funded by the Kochs. Yes, I know people will claim that it is "libertarian" but in practice there is little difference.

In theory I agree, but in practice people are much more emotional than we like to admit, and we come with loads of baggage in the form of preconceptions, presuppositions, and ideologies.

I don't agree with this article. Lets say a company was managing a mysql like database by themselves which would require a full time database maintainer doing all sorts of devops work. However, if company moves to AWS and starts using RDS, it might only need a part time db maintainer. So company indeed save some devops work like pushing security patches, monitoring etc.

But in the case of bad revolutions, would the story have ended up any better if people had somehow maintained the spell of ignorance about the previous regime? I think it more likely that would just lead to an even worse revolution a bit further down the track.

Can Deep Learning Recognize a Cat? The Results Are Not So Obvious
The key is also stored on the disk, encrypted with the password. So presumably an attacker reading the disk could recover the encrypted key and the password and use those to recover the encryption key, which they could then use to decrypt any un-erased fragments of files they find on the disk.

Or something like that. It's an admittedly implausible scenario, but good security is not based on "meh, it probably won't happen". Of course, a much more plausible scenario is password re-use.

Thanks for catching that - my statement was definitely too strong in implying data invulnerability.

I was hinting that you still get a bit of extra protection with ZFS over other filesystems, both on Non-ECC RAM. There is a chance with a stuck/corrupt bit that checksum will fail and you will get a read error. I interpreted OP as saying ECC is a must for ZFS, but I don't think you are more prone to corruption that any other FS?

> You clearly haven't read the article. The NS10 is an exceptionally good speaker in certain respects that are not immediately obvious and that convey vital information about a mix.

How so? They were "GOOD?" Where did I miss that?

At the conclusion:

"And the practical? Well, it's certainly true that the NS10s have a mid-heavy balance and little bass extension. This is especially so if they are not mounted close to a suitable boundary — such as a big desk or a rear wall — to provide low mid-range reinforcement. They're also just as revealing of any shortcomings in the monitoring chain as they are of the mix, and they don't take very kindly to being driven loud. While Newells and Holland showed they have very low levels of distortion, they do suffer from thermal compression, which will not only cause wide-band dynamic attenuation in response to high levels of drive, but will upset the characteristics of the crossover filters as the voice-coil resistance of the drivers increases. As temperature rises, the bass/mid low-pass filter frequency will increase significantly (and the tweeter high-pass filter frequency will reduce), and begin to give prominence to the resonances at the top end of the bass/mid driver's response. When NS10s are driven too hard by a poor amplifier, fed by a sub-standard monitor output, and mounted without any boundary reinforcement, you might well find that they sound horrible to the point of being unusable."

ALSO???? If you do not understand why the NS10 is such an iconic and useful piece of equipment, you fundamentally do not understand mixing.

Okay your super off putting. I owned my own studio and small record label with successful bands. I don't know how in the world anything you just said is fundamental to mixing? NS10 are a bad sounding mixer that is a displeasure to listen to. Not one modern near field attempts to be a NS10. Some people think that it is a bonus but NO ONE is saying these were a technical work of greatness. This articles point was that it is odd that they were successful and that they are Hate or Love. They list out some interesting points but nothing is saying they are "Too Good." Quote me some text.
Quite. And surely this is how pretty much everyone gets started with things like git?

Conversely, novice use of even complex GUI apps rarely requires looking up a tutorial first, because you generally can just click or tap around and at least figure out minimally how to use it.

Inexpert users (ie. nearly everyone) stop there. Obviously further reading is needed to make more extensive and/or efficient use of any tool. But at that point in my opinion we're beyond the reasonable boundaries of 'discoverability'
