Thr bay is a great place for young people to quickly grow their careers. The issue is that once you want to settle and raise children it’s impossible without an executive salary or some kind of inheritance.

Living with roommates is fun when you’re young, but nearly everyone tires of it eventually. You can also get a one or two bedroom with a partner and good salaries, but try adding a kid and that place is packed to the brim.

To counter your anecdote, I’m 30, and have been in the bay about 4 years. I believe I grew my career in the bay faster than I could have anywhere else, and am very happy to have come here.

I’m still single, so have no plans to leave, but _none_ of my friends my age looking to start families are expecting to stay here.

Are that kind of drinks popular in North America and if, then why..?

I'm having problems understanding why would anyone want to consume something like that.
I consume almost all my media on phone. The problem with pdf is precisely that it renders the same on every screen - this makes most PDFs virtually unusable on the phone as you have to scroll down one column in a page, then up for the second column etc.
Sorry, should have been clearer. What I meant:

Power: Magsafe 1 being incompatible with Magsafe 2, which is in turn incompatible with USB-C. No drastic improvement in either.

Data: Thunderbolt 1 and 2 were at least port compatible. Thunderbolt 3 is the same thing as USB-C, so the cable won't fit and you have to buy an adapter, so in effect thunderbolt was dropped. I get that it's a different story internally, but from my perspective, it's again frustrating.

Anyway, at face value, I'm happy that they /finally/ decided to collaborate with everyone else and agreed on an industry-standardized connector, but damn. Even then, I keep reading horror stories re: cable compatibility for USB-C because the standard is so complex. Oh well, it'll settle eventually.

Anyway, none of this bothers me as much as headphones specifically, which cost a lot of money, last decades, and aren't a throwaway item like adaptors and cables. So if you're going to make me change them or use an annoying dongle, there had better be an excellent reason :-(
Pure nanny state behavior, this is people in power wanting to control what their subjects are allowed to do because they think they know best. Smaller government can't come soon enough.
Fwiw, this conversation greatly varies depending on who is doing the reading -- the rather banal fact is that the average 25-year-old student has much different ability to screen-read than the average 60-year-old professor (or a 60-year-old student, for that matter) :)

so no need to search tablet specs for the culprit. PEBCAK :)
CD-ROM was not the only removable storage medium, and it had an enormous cost in space (and sometimes power, if not implemented correctly). A good consumer-grade headphone amplifier has a minuscule cost in terms of space, even relative to a smartphone. The only reason to remove it is if you want your phone to be thinner than can support a 3.5mm receptacle, but as a smartphone consumer I don't really see the point in making a phone thinner than that, I figure it makes it hard to grasp the phone without touching the screen inadvertently. The iPhone 8 is about as thin as a phone should ever be, in my humble opinion, and at 7.3mm deep, there is definitely room for a 3.5mm receptacle, and there is already an audio chipset and opamp bank in the handset.

In short, the marginal cost in space, power, and BOM is negligible; and the value is high. I can't see myself buying a smartphone without a 3.5mm jack until wireless earbuds don't need to be charged more than once a month, and I can forget to put them back in the case for a couple days in a row without losing the ability to listen to audio.
Not sure what you mean. There’s a whole lot of investor money flowing into engineers’ pockets here in the bay.
> I suggest you to buy something better

No thanks, I don't feel like spending more money. With my current phone I can buy compatible earphones with zero delay for as low as $1.50 a pop. Bluetooth headphones just can't beat that.
Lots of armchair experts here.
Ultimately, a hearing aid is much more than just a sound amplifier. Imagine wearing a cheap sound amplification device that gradually increases hearing loss and causing tinnitus.

Well here's an example - I'm having jaw surgery tomorrow and will be on a liquid diet for a week. I stocked my fridge up with Soylent so that I'd have something decent-tasting and relatively nutritious to drink while I'm feeling like garbage.

I also will make shakes, but sometimes soylent is just easier.

I also don't see why they didn't go full USB-C with their phones. Maybe they didn't want to put out too many changes at once. Still, iPhone 8 seemed a great time to pair USB-C.

I think you're making sense.

I don't know anything about games but at least in cameras the relation you want between the bit depth and dynamic range is determined by what you want to measure rather than a formula. An eye tracker I have is a 10-bit IR camera because a normal 8 bits are insufficient to both note that IR LED reflections are way brighter than everything else, while also having sufficient detail in the lower values that the edges of the pupil are easy to detect. At least, without having the scale be logarithmic or discontinuous or otherwise compressed.
That's a shame - I used to like Ze Frank a decade ago when he had that 1 year long series. Now he's literally promoting cancer.

My dad is 81 and started having hearing loss a few years ago. He just sent me a pic showing the degree to which he was able to shrink his DIY hearing aid once he settled on the circuit design:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/4lOwfrVJ3bfRWkEm1

(Stereo mics and amp with two-channel parametric EQ on each side. About 6" wide and runs on two 9v batteries, if you're curious!)

He took it to a Bose showroom to compare it to their Hearphones. All (Bose people included) agreed that his amp and EQ was superior. Cost for parts is ~$200. He's had a lot of fun building them for himself and his friends.
How about in the meantime, Soylent makes a "Canada edition" that is otherwise identical but declared "NOT a meal replacement"?
Regulation of food products to some degree is critical to help prevent contamination and illness. In this case, Canada's regulations appear to be simply outdated and, perhaps, overly draconian.

One thing that (most) people ignore is the risk involved in switching jobs.

Let's say you make 100K today if someone offers you 120K that's a 20% increase. BUT, what happens if you get fired or quit after 2 months. How long will it take you to find another job and how likely are you to match that 120K or 100K?

If the answer to that question is not "a week", the job move should make sure this risk is smoothed out. Usually but a signing bonus on top of the pay increase or something like that.

Not saying that every job should have a signing bonus or that you should hard require it, just saying that pay increase is not the only thing to look for.
That's either old Android or Samsung breaks the behaviour then. You can have adjustable auto-brightness on stock Android. (Called adaptive brightness in settings)
I had some trouble with burn in on an OLED TV that was being left on all the time. I did some research and found out that the effect goes away by leaving the screen off for a few hours every day. I set the TV to turn off every evening, and the burn in problem went away and less electricity was wasted.

I wonder if this is happening from very heavy use or something else that's not allowing the screen to recover.
> Why is real fruit not a problem but HFCS

Two things, people just don't eat that much fruit, usually. And whole fruits/vegetables when eaten release glucose and fructose slowly as the digestive enzymes slowly break it down. I think the idea is not to force your body to deal with a big slug of glucose and fructose all at once.
Well, you don't _eat_ it ;)
So I want to charge my phone and use headphones at the same time. That's a dongle.

Another high quality comment on HN.
May I ask what exactly you mean with "integrating with C++"?

Because RPerl does exactly this and works with both Perl5 and Perl6 thanks to its own Perl11 philosophy (Perl5 + Perl6 = Perl11).

Basically it translates a medium-magic subset of Perl 5 into C/C++ using Inline::C and Inline::CPP.
Thank you thank you thank you! I detest the reader-hostile PDF (and WTF? why would you write something and then make it inconvenient to read???)

Unfortunately, among its sins, PDF discards a lot of the presentation semantics (headers, footnotes etc). Congrats on doing a credible job trying to reconstruct some of that! It's a tough, thankless job.

I was horrified when Adobe introduced PDF and indeed it has turned out at least as badly as I had feared.

The headphone jack was emphatically NOT replaced by Bluetooth. It was replaced by a combination of Apple's W1-enhanced Bluetooth, which is not slow, not unreliable, etc., and also Lightning-based headphones.

You're also wrong about charging the phone while using Lightning headphones; there are already adapters that can do that. Plus, it's not necessary to charge your phone all the time; that's what having better battery life is about. And better battery life is made more possible by freeing up precious internal space that the outmoded, single-use headphone jack used to occupy.

If you can't watch a video without an audio delay, that means you're using really crappy headphones. Fix that. Don't blame Apple.
> particularly phones/tablets

I understand the problem with a phone, but PDFs on an ipad/tablet are beautiful and a joy to read. Much better to read the text as originally typeset than to put it through a process such as this which risks corrupting minor but important details in the mathematical content.

On my phone I put it in landscape mode and that allows me to read a PDF OK, but I don't really get why one would read academic papers on a phone, why not use a tablet?

However I'm very interested in engrafo. It sounds like it will allow me to automatically publish blog style content from my LaTeX sources without having to fork the LaTeX content into a markdown / HTML version.

I just don't understand why you don't like reading academic papers as PDFs on tablets!
I got sick of living in a HCOL area and moved somewhere super cheap. Put 20% down on a nice house and have a $500/month mortgage payment. My total annual housing expenses are less than the taxes on a similar house in Seattle or San Francisco.

Pay is less on paper, but actually quality of life and savings are much higher.
It's possible. I haven't used the CEntrance DACport Slim, but it looks promising. After looking it up I would set the DAC to the high gain setting and drop the volume lower.

And the Grado's look like a good set of headphones.

I would try listening to The King's Singers, which is an A Capella voice group that sings classical music. I can pick out individual voices in space from recordings that were recorded in the late 1980's. A good DAC won't smear them in space, and you can "lock on" to a voice and hear the tonal quality of it individually as if they were standing in front of you.
Sadly, insurance does not typically offer any coverage for the devices themselves. (src: been wearing them for over twenty years, have seen one employer plan that offered any benefits in that area)
...and you can use all those same headphones with a current iPhone, using the adapter which is free and ships in the box.

Frankly, the ability to use $1.50 headphones is of vanishingly small significance.
I decided to upgrade to the 8+ from a 6 and it hits nearly all my points except for the slight negative that the form-factor is relatively the same (irrespective of size).

It's a great upgrade so far. The UI is snappy quick, the cameras on the back take amazing photos due to one having both OIS and digital stabilization, and the second also having digital stabilization. The resolution still looks good, etc.

I'm pleased with not needing to wait for the X, especially with the (supposedly) low supply at launch.
I understand the need for regulations, especially in food and drugs, but when it comes to things like regulating the amount of fat/sugar/fiber I can't think of any reason other than an attitude of 'mommy knows best'.

What about those of us with nice headphones that don't want to be locked into the Apple eco system.

Let's make a comparison.

Is the alternative faster or more reliable than the original that it's replacing?

No, not by any typical (audio) criterion.

We have gone from one standard interface, to now three interfaces (headphone jack, USB-C and lightning), and one of them is proprietary.

We move from a world where you can buy any set of headphones, and use them with any device, to a world where... nothing is compatible with anything else. Either you use a permanently connected dongle, or you buy multiple sets of headphones.

The future is stupid and I don't want to live in it.
Ya know, part of me wants to say "what a load of bollocks. Doing AI research doesn't take that much that's special." And in truth, it doesn't take a lot of what most of us would consider "special". I mean, if you can get through multi-variable caculus, linear algebra and probability / stats, you pretty much have the mathematical tools you need. So in that regard, I do think it's bollocks.

But...

I would argue that AI research (depending on how you define that. AI is a BIG field) is more demanding that "flavour of the month smartphone app" development. And in the past, I scoffed when I heard people say things like "70% of so-called developers can't complete FizzBuzz." Then I started interviewing a lot of candidates for developer roles at the $dayjob and whaddaya know... it seems that most of the candidates we get can't successfully code FizzBuzz. And that's a pretty low bar.

So I dunno... part of me believes there are plenty of people who could contribute to AI research, but part of me is shocked by how few people can even write the most trivial computer program.

Are there fewer than 10k people with a master's in the subject in the entire world?

I don't think having a Masters has much to do with anything. We get folks all the time with a Masters in C.S., even from relatively prestigious schools, and they can't even code up FizzBuzz.

Anyway, I wish I had a better answer for you, but recent experiences have me questioning just how many really competent people there are out there.

I prefer RAML tbh - using Markdown as the basis of an API specification language is a pretty terrible idea. RAML's syntax is much more structured and pleasant, and the type syntax is far nicer to write than JSON Schema. Alas it seems to have lost the battle of network effects...
This is pretty heartbreaking:

>> This gave me a thought, a bit off topic - your situation makes me more optimistic in the short term / next couple of months. If the school is insisting you come back, then they have achieved a “good enough” level of operations.

> Not really. The building has no light and classes are being taught in hallways. The ceiling is missing and there is water still in the classrooms. There is no a/c, so the rooms are suffocating in the heat. It is difficult for many to come to school or get access to internet to do homework. Many have complained about starting school in these conditions, but the school doesn't care. They are opening because they do not get any funding if the school is closed.
And a hack's all that is needed if you accept the premise, which is that wired headphones for mobile devices are hideously inconvenient and about to be rightly obsoleted.

> If it's not a EV certificate, the browser user interface changes and a security-conscious user may notice.

This is often used as an argument by EV advocates, but it doesn't hold up under scrutiny. An attacker with access to a non-EV certificate can selectively intercept only connections for subresources of the targeted site (i.e. JavaScript). The "main" connection would still use the EV certificate and thus show the browser indicator. This attack was first made public in 2008[1] and has been further refined in later work[2].

HPKP and the Expect-CT header provide some viable mitigations for this. That said, it seems unlikely to me that a nation-state adversary would choose to attack at the Web PKI level in this scenario. Compromising ProtonMail or the user's device would probably cheaper and less likely to be detected.

Please check your facts before using words like "finally". Thunderbolt was a collaboration as well; it just seems like it was a proprietary Apple thing because Apple pushed it earlier and harder than everyone else. The same is true of the beloved USB-A, of course, which was pushed earlier and harder by Apple than by PC makers too.

Anyway, make up your mind. Are you furious that Apple had the courage to adopt a standard like USB-C, or are you happy? Choose one. :)
