I am really happy with the preceding model, but apparently Sony now has improved on many slightly annoying bits.

Regarding the title: Most reviews actually put the Sony WH-1000XM2 ahead of Bose's competing offers as far as noise cancelling effectiveness and sound quality are concerned.

One thing Bose did better was the seamless switching between multiple Bluetooth sources (I need to manually disconnect the headphones from my phone or computer to start playing from the other device). I wonder if that has been improved now?

President of the European Commission Juncker said that he would push for the changing clocks to be abolished and that the Commission "will decide on it today." (https://www.dw.com/en/eu-to-stop-changing-the-clocks-juncker...)

I don’t see it happen quickly, though. Permanent daylight savings time may be good for Germany, but would it work for Spain? Large parts of it are west of London, but their clocks would be two hours ahead of it in winter. I could see it move to a different time zone, joining Portugal.

The Netherlands, France, Belgium and Luxembourg also might think different (although, for the smaller countries, following whatever the big neighbor does probably will be the way to go)

Apparently there was a recent vote about replacing Musk as chairman. The vote was overwhelmingly defeated with more than 83% voting to keep Musk. Instead of running an article on this Reuters seemingly chose to run an article highlighting a seemingly random minority holder voting for the replacement, with the result mentioned as a numeric aside.

It's never been a great idea to make core user flows reliant on modals (by all means use them, but make sure you either practice progressive enhancement or have a fallback).

That said, I'd love for a solution akin to popup blocking: block the popunder but alert the user that it happened and allow them to show certain ones.

Ask HN: How about creating an indie alternative to Udemy?
The landscape for online course creators is not satisfying.

The most significant player is Udemy. The problem with Udemy is that I can't build my own audience and have no control over the sales price due to ongoing discount offers (the price setting is a joke, regardless of what amount I set I rarely sell for more than 10$. I'd have to opt-out of their marketing channel but then why host with Udemy at all?)

The other problem with Udemy is the low barrier of quality. They do some quality control but only checking the sales page and sound or video quality but never the content itself.

There are other providers with higher quality control, like Pluralsight, but here the barrier is too high (plus you still can't build your audience).

Then there's the option to self-host using a Saas provider. For example, I found Teachable quite useful. But of course I'm on my own here, there's no network effect I can take advantage of, and I can't have a public review system to gain customer's trust.

Are there any other alternatives I'm not aware of?

I wish there were a platform where independent creators come together to build a brand. It would have some voting system to control who can publish, and a creator would have to pay some small percentage to keep the platform running but retains control of everything else.

There would be a public course review system for students ala Amazon or Udemy.

What are your thoughts on that?

To get started I could imagine finding a small group of creators who come together to build a common landing page with a review feature that then just redirects to each of the creator's self-hosted site. If interested contact me.

> Text is very easy to reason about, and you can quickly determine what transformations you need to make based on visual feedback. Working with objects means spending a lot more time in the documentation learning what properties you have to work with.

Or not. Take `ps`. You'll need to spend time in documentation anyway, figuring out what process properties can be shown with what flag, and then you'll be bitten later by things like the difference between `ps ux` and `ps aux` including process names in square brackets, etc. Contrast with PS equivalent, `Get-Process`. Type `Get-Process | Get-Member` to list properties of the objects returned by `Get-Process`, and you can quickly see both properties you can inspect (with descriptive names, not "VSZ" or "RSS") and what methods you can call directly (instead of extracting properties and piping to other programs).

This is IMO much cleaner, easier to work with interactively (properties instead of constant parsing and unparsing of text), better for interoperability (you're limited by what actual objects expose, not by what pieces of them a CLI program wishes to print, and if it so happens that objects somehow print more than they expose in properties, you can still call ToString() on them and get that data "the UNIX way"), and correctly separates presentation from content.

Is it me, or is NVIDIA trying very hard to take credit for this UC Berkeley paper? (they're almost taking credit for Pytorch as well). Sure, this kind of work wouldn't be possible without their hardware, but in that case Intel could probably take credit for most of science in the last few decades.
>From there, anyone with $25M can probably just lease a bunch of vehicles, software, parking space and routing software to launch a regional TNC. Given a single region focus, these new regional TNCs should be able to outcompete Uber/Lyft. Remember that Uber/Lyft's greatest advantage is their supply of drivers; riders will happily download an app that delivers cheaper rides.

If you are willing to lose money like uber was, why wouldn't you be able to launch a competitor with drivers? I bet drivers would download a new app to make more money even faster than passengers would download such an app to save money.

I mean, if anything, a system where you own (or lease in an inflexible way) the cars makes your up-front costs higher; I think new driver incentives right now are on the order of a few grand; a lot less than the cost of a new car with top-end tech. I mean, double the signup bonuses of uber, and you'll quickly get drivers to open your app, and you've still spent a lot less up-front.

Of course, your long-term profitability looks a lot better if you can just own the cars, but make no mistake about it; uber's moat is that you have to lose money at first to build up a critical mass of vehicles (and that uber is willing to continue to operate at a loss)

Directly owning/leasing the vehicles rather than paying owner-operators per mile might be cheaper long term, but it doesn't lower the up-front cost of getting a critical mass of vehicles on the road.

Tink's provided Hybrid primitive allows Alice to send messages to Bob if Alice knows Bob's public key.

No third party can understand Alice's messages even if they intercept them, and if a third party tampers with the message Bob doesn't get that message at all, just an error. So in this sense the messages are promised to be authentic.

However, Bob is not provided with assurance that the messages really came from Alice - there's no authentication, and so Bob should treat all the messages as anonymous. If Alice wants to authenticate as Alice to Bob, the two will need to agree some mechanism they can layer on top of Tink's hybrid primitive.

ReactML
I've been wondering if there's an easier way to build React apps. I had worked with UIL/Motif (almost 30 years ago now) and XUL from Mozilla which attempted to separate logic from view specifications. I was wondering if we could come up with similar thing for React, which would significantly speed up development process, especially during the prototyping stages of a project.

This project tries to store all state data in a redux store, and keeps all the views "pure" with no state. All properties for views come from the redux state or are statically supplied.

I think this approach has the potential to significantly simplify React and React-native based projects, but I would like to hear from others who may have tried similar approaches; I am particularly interested in any gotchas with this approach.

Author makes the inadvertent case for insurance companies to buy pharmaceutical companies. The marginal cost of production of any medication is virtually nil, the costs are nearly entirely due to R&D. If the treatment costs the insurance company $10,000 then the insurance company has an incentive to provide poor service, but if the treatment costs the insurance company pennies, then there is no need for such bureaucracy to incentivize patients to choose cheaper drugs. Indeed, purchasing the pharmaceutical companies would allow insurance companies to cut out unnecessary levels of administration and their associated costs, thus boosting profits.

"Orgs have an incentive not to respond yes to every request they get" - not true. Orgs have an incentive to reduce the cost of saying yes, but saying yes is an important part of providing good customer service, keeping repeat business, and building a brand that enables bigger growth. Orgs that lose sight of this, deserve to be eaten by their competitors.

> When you run ripgrep with its output connected to a tty, then its output is "prettified." That means results are grouped by file, colorized and include line numbers. But if you aren't connected to a tty, then ripgrep reverts to the standard grep format (e.g., no line numbers).

That sounds both good (for direct use) and bad (for developing scripts) at the same time. And it's a general pattern. I wonder, is there a standard UNIX/Linux way of saying "run this, but pretend I'm not connected to a tty"?

If he refuses, the worst that could happen is it could succeed somewhere else. In which case, he could then reconsider.
