That's an understatement. If your fine motor skills aren't impaired, you should spend maybe a few minutes each year rolling and unrolling your wired headphones. I'd argue it takes nearly as long to put your AirPods in their case and set them down on a charging station.
can anyone chime in on the cancer concerns? I own a pair of airpods and use them daily, and want to buy the new ones, but recent press about this has been concerning me. Is there any merit to the concerns? Last I heard, non-ionizing radiation can't damage tissues, but I don't know too much about the subject. I want to enjoy my airpods so if it's fearmongering bs I can ignore it. I'm asking here because I searched the two posts today about airpods and nobody has discussed it
Lag will always be an issue. I used to play a lot of competitive games like street fighter, tekken, starcraft.

There is zero chance of a fighting game like Tekken ever being popular on Stadia due to lag.

Distance from LA to New York: ~4500km.

Time of light speed to travel 4500km: ~30ms

Time of 1 frame at 60fps: 16.7ms

There are moves in Tekken ('just frame') that require 1 frame precision to pull off. For a while it was popular to hook up old CRTs to playstations to reduce lag as much as possible.

People might think the network will get better eventually, but the speed of light isn't getting any faster. The network is no match for the local bus, and it never will be due to physics.

Well it clearly depends on how you use the CC feature, most of the complains about CC have been in regards to mailing lists as that's where obviously unwanted information leaks happen.

"the CC feature in itself might be a GDPR violation" is a, to use your words, "retarded" idea. For starters you can still send emails internally, perfectly fine to use CC there. Also I'm sure there are some legitimate interest cases where CC instead of BCC makes sense too.

This is classic GDPR fear mongering and laziness.

> the commissioner responsible (Vestager) is somewhat likely to leave the commission after the May elections anyway, because of another pro-competition decision

Nah, EU commissioners are very unlikely to stay in their post when the Commission changes anyway, regardless of performance. That's because they are an expression of national governments' priorities at the time of commission composition (every government gets 1 commissioner, and usually tries to place it in an area it is particularly interested in - which obviously changes when a government changes "colour").

This has become even more true ever since EuroParliament obtained a meaningful vote on approving or rejecting the Commission. Because the Commission President is now a political figure expressed by the party with the most votes in EuroElections, it is almost inevitably bound to change every 5 years, when Parliament changes; when the President changes, the whole Commission usually changes as well. I fully expect this to happen this year.

In the past, Commissions would change on a different schedule, without any real vote, and it was mostly seen as an administrative body anyway. This meant a President would not change until it effectively resigned or lost the trust of all national governments, which in turn allowed other commissioners to stay on if they were already working together well, with EUParliament just rubber-stamping. This changed after the corruption scandal of 1999.

Rome split. The Eastern Roman Empire, e.g. Byzantium, lasted much longer than the Western Roman Empire. Although towards the end it was quite pathetic. It's decline was long and thorough.

Incidentally some people count the Roman Republic when talking about how long the Roman Empire lasted, which is technically incorrect, but in a sense maybe it's not. Most of the expansionism was during the Republic period, and the demotion of the Roman Senate is an example of how collapse of centralized power isn't so immediately inevitable, don't you think?

It's not the cost of the training; that would have been borne by the airlines, not Boeing, I think. The problem is that if this plane required extra training, this would have been an additional cost to the airlines, meaning they might not have bought the plane in the first place, and would have bought the competing plane from Airbus. Also, not only is it an additional cost, it means they would have had to have a different type-rating for this plane (a pilot rated for a regular 737 wouldn't be allowed to fly this version).
The QC35s also only need the battery for wireless use/active noise cancelling, so even if your battery dies on you you can still use them with a wire and a standard 3.5 mm jack. That is, assuming you still have a 3.5mm port to plug that jack into :)

I don't see a difference between RYF-ness of CPU microcode and SSD firmware. The main practical difference in the context of TFA is that distros typically bundle CPU microcode but not SSD firmware, hence the question is unlikely to come up in that context for SSD firmware, but that doesn't mean that it's not a problem.

Btw, the AMD CPU microcode is fused into the CPU, otherwise it wouldn't boot; there's an additional SRAM area where the microcode update is applied; for details see https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9614-inside_the_amd_microcode_ro...

To elaborate on your last point, I'd always use software encryption with SSDs, because with the opaque firmware wear-leveling it's essentially impossible to be sure that anything is actually physically deleted from SSDs, and if it isn't physically deleted it can be read by a custom firmware.

Efficiency is something I consider really important.

The difference between say subsidized green energy and a carbon tax seems minimal to most people. But, a difference in efficiency means one simply works better.

It’s really easy to end up with sub optimal choices, like US efficiency regulations subsidizing SUV’s. Individual choices that seem reasonable rarely result in optimal results. Add in a little corruption or propaganda and people get down right stupid.

I was among the first to receive my AirPods back in end of 2016. They are now down to <2.5hours listening on my iPhone and <2hours on my MBP (for some unknown reason). They are great on the go but the lack of sound isolation is problematic because you really have to crank the volume up. That really isn’t ideal in the long run. I also suspect the sound quality has degraded somewhat because of the dirt etc that has accumulated behind the vents.

I’m probably going to use them till the batteries are too degraded and change to BT ANC headphones afterwards.
IPv6 is old. Back then, not only servers but also desktops were commonly on a fixed public IP address, accessible from anywhere on the Internet. Hiding the MAC address would gain very little, since the IP address was enough to uniquely identify a host.
What??

Drug laws vary wildly in the regions you mentioned. Just about the only thing that they have in common is that drugs are illegal.

And it's not just a question of laws, either. Laws are one thing, and policing is another. There are countries which don't really enforce the law for personal use amounts.

The US has draconian laws, and punitive policing. There's your problem. It turns out that the worse you treat your criminals, the worse your crime problem gets.

I've been in, am currently in, and have been involved in unionizing workplaces.

Companies are extremely motivated to undermine unions. Unions tend to get stale as they age and lose their militancy. That's why wildcat action is so common. It sucks but even a workplace with a stale union is better off than one without collective bargaining.

The hardest part of organizing, like so many things, is going from 0 to 1. Once you've got a union you have a lot more power. Thinking you don't is what the company wants you to think.

Ask HN: Few question about monetarization of flutter apps
Dear HN,

I took some vacation from my studies to focus full-time on some app I am building. I am using Flutter for this (so far quite pleased with it) and things are going smooth. Also my pricing strategy and how to monetize become more and more clear. However, I am still a bit scared by some open questions:

1) How mature is flutter in its handling of in-app payments? My scenario is simple: User can make a one-time approach and then use the complete features of the app. Is it mature enough to handle the above scenario in flutter only (= no plattform-specific hackery)?

2) Is it possible to have local-only data storage despite having in-app purchases? One selling point of my app is that data is only stored locally, so I would love to extend that claim even to user identities. Also - to be honest - local is simpler than distributed.

3) Should I decide to put up a database with user id's and their purchase status somewhere - what would be a good approach? I am looking for low price, low mantainence and I don't care about configurationability, since my use case will be fairly common. Firebase seemed like a good option, and I have some experience with Amazon Services.

I would be glad if you could help me out! And thank you for reading. Happy Hacking :)

I interpreted "using" in the context of construction methods, since it was attached to the material, not the object like your statement is here. To me, your statement implied that new towers are still being built with wood. It sounds like you meant to ask why wooden towers are still in use.

MCAS problems weren't a memory item for any pilot, the memory item is Runaway Stabilizer and exhibits different behaviour to MCAS.

Which is to say that they'll be receiving sim training for Runaway Stabilizer, learn what to expect (wheel moves continuously, hard nose down, etc), and then in real life have MCAS cause the same issue but in a substantively different way (change, delay, change, delay, etc).

Without the benefit of hindsight why not try the Memory Item: Engine Surge / Stall or Uncommanded Roll? Both of which could exhibit as an uncommanded nose down.

The reality of the situation is that some pilots immediately went straight for Runaway Stabilizer whereas others did not. That's a problem. That's a TRAINING problem. The type rating should have included additional training against the Runaway Stabilizer Memory Item for MCAS so "I've seen this before" is second nature.

During this month it rained a few times too.
Ended up buying a wireless charging AirPods case off AliExpress for $15 last year. I feel like I’ve been living the AirPods 2 life for a while now.

> The difficulty is that it feels like the current labor organization laws in the US has supporters on both sides. The existing unions enjoy their strength and wouldn't want to have to fight off upstarts and the capital class keeps seeing less and less union representation under our current system and can just keep feeding anti-union sentiment.

Exactly - it's a stable equilibrium, where unions and employers are actually content with the status quo and don't want to cede power, but ultimately it produces a clearly suboptimal result for workers.

Unfortunately, it would be very difficult to fix this, as you said, for political reasons.
I'm wondering if Google will use this as a way to expand their compute footprint into more POPs / edge network locations.

Everyone is hung up on latency, which is true. So if Google deploys their game rendering boxes at edge networking locations, like internet exchanges, that will result in lower latency to end users. Once Google has their rendering boxes there, they might as well sell other computing services as well. Why not sell to the game makers themselves, too - if they put their matchmaking/host servers in the same place, then latency is lowered even more.

IIRC Google already has the largest private network (most fiber-miles) with the most POPs compared to other cloud providers. The more POPs you have, the better you can do CDN and other geographic-sensitive computing since you are physically closer to your end users.

Having mini-datacenters at edge network locations could also be an interesting bet on future/emerging technologies that are also compute-heavy and latency sensitive, say VR or AR. Imagine being able to deploy code to thousands of locations (for a price) compared to the traditional couple dozen regions * a handful of availability zones where the huge datacenters are.

Around 2004 I was exposed to an opportunity to become an EPA Lobbyist for a company in the fuel and water storage tank construction and maintenance portion of the construction industry. The ease of the job, meaning the complete corporate capture of that portion of the EPA, was so comprehensive the Lobbyist position was eliminated during my exposure to the opportunity. Industry dictates any regulation, and don't really bother with any enforcement. This was during a portion of my career when I considered leaving tech, and the intentional disregard of any ethics or public safety is one of the factors behind my return to tech. Needless to say, I get all household water from a private source, and I do not trust the crops in any areas with underground fuel storage sharing the water table with nearby farms.
