>>As for the growth in income inequality, there are many other possible explanations besides a free market in labor being inherently unfair to workers.

Such as?

>>What do you mean by "stockholders shares increase"? You're saying shares increasing in value is a sign that there's an imbalance between wages paid to workers and value created by them?

Quick answer: Yes. If I create $200 worth of value for my company, and I'm paid $100 dollars and the other $100 is given to the company coffers, I'm underpaid relative to the value I create. Capitalism is based on the idea that this has to happen in order for a business to function. I don't believe this to be the only way.

>>it doesn't follow that a cookie cutter intervention that treats labor as one homogeneous mass

That does't tend to be how unions work. Some go with specific rates based on seniority, some simply require wage floors or ranges based on title. Some simply bargain for benefits that help the masses (grievance resolution, healthcare options, etc). Unions are only a blunt tool if you let them be. Collective bargaining is only bad if you feel you're the specialist exceptional boy, which Western culture encourages but statistics point out are rare.

I wonder -- which targets support this flag? And which ones need it (i.e. which are susceptible)?

Also, I didn't see it in the changelog -- does libc++ have std::execution::* yet?
Ya, I thought they were moving away from it, but it turns out they are improving overhead lines by combining it with battery tech to allow for better performance (less chance of unhooking at greater speeds using batteries to fill in gaps at intersections).

Ignore that. Apparently I don't know my own code. It just looks at `dependencies`. :-p

That said, it looks like the latest (not yet npm-published?) version of zero has moved all the dependencies to `devDependencies`.
Pet peeve: if you use the first sentence or two of your elevator pitch to tell me what college you went to, you’re doing it wrong.
Reading this gives me the creeps and a whole lot of 'no shit, sherlock'. This is third-world kind of stuff. How can this not be solved over there by now? Privately hosted rooftop water tanks? Really? Does health and personal excellence mean so little?

At this point, in my area it's required by law to have a hydrofoor when your building is 13 meters tall (or taller). No water tower allowed, and skipping the entire thing isn't allowed either. In the USA that would probably be regarded as 'nanny state', but this is a typical case where you cannot trust a company or installer or building owner to do this right by default, hurting basically everyone else. I'm not sure what hydrofoor translates to, but it's basically a pressuriser, pump, buffer tank in one, that you have in the technical room of your building, that is inspected by the water company which is inspected by the 'watershap' (not sure what that translates to), which is inspected by the government. It takes a whole lot of people doing it wrong on purpose before that chain fails and you get bad water.
those are infinite loading animations and they used when it's not possible to evaluate the waiting time. Indeed, they create a feeling of uncertainty.
I don't think they're being realistic about what the world is going to be like any time soon. While the 5th generation cellular protocols will be great for data in cities, it will still leave people in rural areas behind on 4th or earlier generations because the frequencies don't carry well over distances and the wired/optical backbones need to be in place.
I would like to know of one ultra-wealthy individual who ended up possessing nothing and was made homeless; I don't intend this to be callous but while committing suicide is a tragedy but it does't mean some rich person was going to end up homeless. Being homeless means you're at a point where no one can or will take you in, and I have a very hard time imagining a hedge fund billionaire in that position.
There is some but its extremely rare. In Germany you for example have the Hambacher Forst, where parts are as old as 700 years. Its scale is however lacking

>Groovy had Netbeans and Eclipse support, which was dropped when it started fading away.

I know, I've used it. What I said is that it did not have the first class IDE attention of a major vendor, those were mostly third party sub-par plugins compared to the Java focus of those IDEs. For Kotlin, however, it was first class IDE support as a primary concern from the start.

The government is the one writing the laws in that case.

If there were no government, you would still have the same problems, only now unrestrained corporations would be at the root of those problems.

Government and Corps are no different in the end. They all seek to perpetuate and consolidate their power over the plebs.
It works with original AirPods too which is a good surprise.
Maybe, but I would like to see more than the one source. HN is becoming filled with people who tend to make such generalized statements without much to back it up. Your link helps, so thank you! I would love to see more data and less speculation around here :)

This link is definitely more interesting if you care about clang or clang tools.
Not to put a too fine point on it, that’s bullshit. I can plug in wired audio on all of my Apple products, except the Apple TV. I did like the optical audio the older models had. By default, I much, much prefer wireless.
Some of the _wealthiest_ people in modern history have lost it all. A recent example is Eike Batista.
I've never had latency issues while talking on the phone using my AirPods.
And I thought I was "paying" for that by having 15 minutes long "ads" thrown at me every for every 5 minutes of content I watch.

YouTube seems to be getting really bad in that regard, even worse than TV.
It’s just whichever one you click play on most recently. The other one just auto-pauses.

For certain short bursts of audio, or depending on the source of the audio (transient system sound, unprompted audio, ring tone, etc.) the paused device can auto-resume when the interrupter is done playing.

For sitting at a new device starting the same “type”of audio stream perhaps you would not auto-resume the paused feed when the new feed stops.

For something like Spotify, opening your MacBook should transfer the stream completely seamlessly from your iPhone as a way to save battery. The same song should never stop playing even for a millisecond (the switchover should be imperceptible) and the UI should sync the current playlist between all iCloud devices.

When you open your Mac you should be able to see the Spotify that was playing on your iPhone right there and click pause if you want. It shouldn’t really be perceptible to the user “where it’s coming from”, it should just work.

I really believe the AirPods are an amazing New platform.. I think people are far more on the go lately and so the AirPods are a perfect way to consume content, that isn’t just music and I do believe the big rise in Podcast consumption is very much due to their popularity. It started as a silly joke that everyone made fun of but now, at least where I live in NYC, seemingly everyone on every train has them on.

I am a little disappointed in Apple for not adding storage to these though, it wouldn’t be very hard to add a few gigabytes to them and then they would work even without your phone and it would be the iPod all over again. Missed opportunity by Apple for sure.

As a shameless plug I am working on what I think is the perfect companion App for iPods. My app let’s you listen to any article by using some amazing sounding Machine Learning models to grab the articles and convert them to audio. You can check it out here if you like:

Yeah, and that's why you would be so gullible when you reach the working age. You'll be listening to everything you're told because you'll never know any better.
iPhone are still sold today with bundled wired headphones.

Since when proposing a sold separately wirelesses alternative is "forcing you to go wireless"?
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m looking forward to that.
Well, that's not what I said. I've not claimed they're unnecessary, just that they have a slightly different and perhaps less important role than the post I replied to was giving them. The undersecretaries can make the same decisions, and in fact the career personnel in the organization have far more ability to take action without fear of replacement by anyone as they have more protection than a secretary who serves at the pleasure of the appointing authority.

That said, generally the undersecretaries are appointed and confirmed as well, as their role is to step in and backfill if the primary is not available, so that answers that issue.
>Not every Java shop is going to drop Eclipse and Netbeans just to make JetBrains happy.

True. They will drop them because Eclipse has been faltering for ages and has been dropped by IBM, and Netbeans has always been a subpar unloved stepchild used by the kind of devs that don't know better and think SlickEdit or Notepad++ are great editors.

>The overwhelming majority of Java developers don't even know who Steve Yegge is.

That's on them.

The bluetooth asics tend to be very single function oriented. They might support multiple protocols on the stack but they are generally missing things like a muxer so only one audio based protocol at a time. That means if you're streaming audio using A2DP and you receive a voice call, the A2DP stream is dropped and HSP or Handsfree is enabled. The host will then transition to streaming over the new lower bitrate connection.

The asics generally don't support concurrent connections from different devices, with a few exceptions, and so there's a lot of scaffolding that has to be broken down and stood up when switching devices. It's not unlike HTTP over TCP. There probably needs to be a SPDY for Bluetooth.

Some semiconductor manufacturer could really steal the market by making a bluetooth asic with an audio muxer that supports multiple concurrent protocols and can effectively blend the audio while also maintaining multiple concurrent host connections.

From a UX perspective, this presents problems with situations like listening to music on a headset connected to a PC when an audio call comes from your phone. Does the headset duck A2DP? Send PAUSE over AVCTP if available? Just MUX the audio streams and let you sort it out? What do device controls control when connected to two devices?

Another issue with Bluetooth is that hosts generally don't surface useful controls for prioritizing devices or protocols. So in the case of being paired with multiple A2DP devices, a host will usually only automatically connect to the last one used and you have to explicitly connect to others. This is annoying if you regularly transition between Car and Headphones.

There's also an issue of multiple hosts connecting to the same client and prioritization. Hosts tend to open and hold onto a connect even when they're not doing anything because of the scaffolding involved in a connection. That means if you have two phones and one car, only one will work and if you want to use the other one then it requires terminating the other host's connection, usually on that host device.
We had to use such loading animation as well, the only difference is we put a text description of what our app is doing. That makes waiting a less frustrating, at least users know that app is working on something specific.

Regardless of the unpopularity, making people aware and fighting the moral issue he perceives with software has been Stallman’s mission for the last 30-40 years. It’s definitely not going to change anything to point this out to him now.
Yes, I addressed that in my comment. The common case is that if I'm playing music on my laptop and not playing music on my iPhone (or vice-versa), then I probably want to listen to that music from my laptop, not my iPhone.

For example, let's address your concern with my comment.

"Start by listening to something on my iPhone. Sit down and continue to listen to my music on my iPhone. Open up my laptop. It unlocks with my Apple Watch. I pop open iTunes or Spotify, hit play with my Air Pods still in. Since my iPhone is still playing music, Apple should stick with my iPhone."
you should also consider the time it takes to charge the case and the times when you want to listen to music but alas, you forgot to charge your earphones! The jumbled mess of earphones don't need to be charged.
Thanks a lot for sharing this :)
True, but if you get away with this for years, it can be part of a strategy. The risk, of course, is that if you do this too often or too obvious, you could be forbidden to sell your product. But then, Google might be too important to be shut down for non-compliance.
I don’t think I’d want to have them without the second device. Without a second device (with a screen), you’d be stuck with a voice interface for anything more complicated than play/pause, next track, and volume. And to put the CPU required for that, with storage would make the headphones too big and take too much battery.

They're inconvenient because of the way the airpods are designed, they don't fit inside the case with the tips on.
I’ve had my AirPods for a while. The battery life has indeed degraded, but they’re pretty good for an hour of listening, and I never really do more. I’d be more disappointed as a heavy user.

They’re also the only earphones I can stand while exercising. Before the AirPods, the annoyance of the wire flopping around or on my skin, etc. made me mostly just not listen to anything. So, I don’t really compare them to anything wired, because I don’t consider them an actual alternative. I just won’t listen anymore.
Detecting Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowires
If you don't have enough altitude to afford going nose-down, let the pilot handle it. If your system can't come up with a safe solution, do not override the pilot's controls in favor of a dangerous solution.

A computer should never assume it knows better than a pilot. A computer is only as good as the data it gets and the software it runs. Sensors fail. Data gets corrupted. In the current state of the industry, software bugs are inevitable.

Airplane software is supposed to help pilots, not hinder them. In light of these events, I'm thinking twice about wanting a self-driving car in the near future.
I agree that a monopoly would be bad. I responded to the comment about "one odd jostle" making the AirPods fall out. I have never seen that happen for myself or the many runners I run with in races. It is not at all a concern for me, based on my experience. Your postulation leads you to a different conclusion.
It's sort of a chicken and an egg problem though right? There's not enough demand to build out speedy rural infrastructure so it doesn't get built, and because it doesn't get built, nobody makes applications which would really increase demand.
Please put the language it is intended for somewhere as close to the page top as possible. The world isn't all Go.
As I posted in response to your other comment, you're ignoring the fact that the undersecretaries who backfill those positions in the absence of the primary are also appointed and confirmed, and the career personnel have less incentive to bow to political pressure.

DOD has far more "expert leadership" in the form of the FO/GO community than the other gov agencies as well -- the secretaries exist to implement policy, not run day to day operations.
Consumers...
Every single one I’ve used. AirPods have been worst by an order of magnitude to the point you would think it is a budget-offering.

Some of the brands I’ve used over the years include Sennheiser, Beats, Shure and Beyerdynamic.
Although the article is framed around language implementation, the underlying principle is also valid for interpreting CPU instruction sets. I read quite a few years ago that Apple at one point abandoned a particular 68K->PowerPC JIT because an optimized interpreter was faster at running real-world applications for cache-related reasons (keep in mind that this was the early 90s, when mainstream L1 caches were 4/8/16KB and L2 cache was off-chip).

Air France 447
I purchased mine when they were first released (end of 2016), and as much as I love my AirPods, they are now down to ~2.5 hours of listening time per charge from my iPhone and <2hours when listening from my MBP for unknown reasons.

The battery replacement is prohibitively expensive and I would rather purchase a brand new set but this update is rather underwhelming: same sound quality, same listening time with improved talktime, better latency and wireless charging - nothing that I really care about.

I think the easiest way to make a lot of money in the actual market for personal tech products is to double down on whatever HN and Reddit claims to hate. I suppose it's just sampling bias, but the more hate I see here, the more money Apple makes, and it's been consistent for many years.

The inverse seems to hold true, too. When Microsoft hardware gets discussed, there's usually a lot of effusive praise, but their market impact is negligible, at least in terms of public mindset, if not in sales.

The closest Apple store to me is nearly always standing room only. There's also a Microsoft store in the same mall. The only reason it still exists is as an impromptu Fortnite LAN party.
