That's not really more accurate as it misses the entire point of the article. Everyone knows that prolonged exposure to loud music/noise is bad for your hearing. What most people are not good at judging, is whether they are inherently listening to music at damaging volume levels or not when using earbud style headphones, especially when ambient noise levels are high. And that is what is causing trouble for people. These aren't renegade, death metal adoring teens blasting music at high volumes just to be cool...
I think it's more that the perception of it is being twisted. The media twists the way that the internet has worked since time immemorial as something that's suddenly gotten a lot worse, that all trolls are on par with criminals, and that we need to take drastic measures.
Imagine typechecking a cluster of nodes all sending messages to each other.
As a rule of thumb, if you're standing next to a busy street and listening to a podcast, you should not be able to understand what is being said. If you can clearly hear the podcast your volume is too loud.

Seems like the whole world is getting ahead of the US with all this feet dragging. That's the real disadvantage. Every major issue the country faces, the answer is "well it's a lot easier to just sweep this under the rug because I have an election coming up and gives I can upset so let's just not do anything about this". And now every corner of the US is crumbling, from healthcare to infrastructure.

These networks would be scalable by using derived trust values. In simple terms you trust others to provide you with the trust value of people you have never met. I'm sure one could mathematically prove certain implementations to be unexploitable.

I love music, yet I pretty much never listen to it except in a live setting (with earplugs of course!) because I really really don’t want to lose my hearing. I _could_ listen to it all day every day while I work like my coworkers but I know I have a tendency to blast it when I listen to it.. so I just don’t. Kind of sad.
Is there a way for the average consumer to measure the sound level output of their earbuds? There's got to be a better way than just seeing if that volume setting causes discomfort; I'm sure I'm already acclimated to higher volumes.
> the recent decision that POTUS twitter feed is a public space (https://theconversation.com/federal-judge-rules-trumps-twitt...)

Interestingly, the opinion did _not_ conclude that Twitter itself is a public forum and therefore must allow all speakers to use it and viewpoints to be presented. Instead, it concluded that the _President's Twitter account_ is a public forum for the purpose of answering the question whether the President can block others' accounts from responding to it.

As for _Pruneyard_, that case is about freedom of speech under the California Constitution, and has narrowed by subsequent law, but it remains an open question as to whether "open to the public means all content must be permitted" under CA law in the social media context.
Looks very cool. You have a typo in the pricing area of the page: it says "Sart Free Trial" instead of "Start Free Trial".
LSD, like any drug, is a chemical that induces changes in the body and brain. It's a tool that can be used to help you achieve "enlightenment".

Basically, in my (probably excessive) experience, you can't just drop a tab and expect the universe to give you answers. You need to be taking it in a conducive environment, and actually make an effort to guide your mind. LSD disinhibits your mind and puts it into what I'd describe as a malleable state. You end up with a whole lot of different thoughts and realisations, a lot (or even most) of which are just bullshit loopy acid thoughts that aren't grounded in reality.

I don't think that LSD allows us to think anything we couldn't already think or conceptualise, it just makes it a bit easier for some people. Of course, it's a complicated drug, and everybody has different experiences with it.

I've used earbuds, but don't like them. I mainly enjoy loud music. Metal, punk, electronic like VibeSquad and Bassnectar, and so on. With lots of bass and sub-bass. So I can really feel it. I have a pair of ancient JBL L96s, driven by a clean 100W per channel amp.

So with earbuds, I find that I'm always increasing the volume, seeking body-shaking bass that they'll never produce.
The "zombie army" in Lord of the Rings was in the book Return of the King, published in 1955. The first big, modern zombie movie was Night of the Living Dead in 1968. So I don't think you can blame them for being unoriginal. Also I'd say they were more ghost than zombie, in both book and movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYEvmnTghPk

Climate change is natural too but humans are making both climate change and oil spills worse.
Custom-fit ear molds - where an audiologist pours goo into your ears, lets it harden, and then sends those molds off to be made into headphone attachments - are the only way to use earbuds in a safe way. Every other route will either suffer “weird sounds when I move”, ear pain, or hearing damage due to instinctively using volume to make up for a lack of sound isolation under most normal circumstances.

You can set an iOS volume limit of no more than 50% on your phone to get a head start at protecting your hearing, but most people will find this unacceptable in the short-term due to perceived “quietness”.

Active noise canceling is a valid option, but only for either headphones over the ears or earbuds that are molded to fit your ear canal, at which point you likely won’t need ANC assuming that it stills works at all after the molds are attached!
Perhaps MULTISim
Not necessary. If your earbuds (or IEM's) have really good isolation you should be able to do that at low volume. I have a pair of Shure 215, and they work like earplugs.
If bad code causes the failure of somebody's medical equipment, then the company that released said code should absolutely be held responsible. I wouldn't go so far as to hold individual developers responsible because there should be a complex QC process in place before life-critical software makes it anywhere near market, but certainly the company as a whole, and potentially whatever executive fast-tracked the release of said software, is at fault.
A short and sweet adage that I have always appreciated is: "USE before REUSE".

Microservices Architecture – problems you will have to solve
What in ze hell?

1. It is straightforward to restrict a DNS server so that it only answers specific networks. This doesn't even need to be close to comprehensive to get the message across. Level 3's (née BBN's) intent is to continue to respond to the wider Internet community, regardless of what their ambient PR says. Likely for similar reasons that they run a looking glass.

2. The frequency and magnitude of your scenario makes it a straw man. A more worthwhile example is someone using a business's bathroom without buying anything. Yet most places don't really care as in the end it balances out, and we're all humans that have needs that can't be fully met by commercial provisions. The major concern is people who mess up the bathroom, paying or not.

3. While a common touchstone, theft does not apply has nothing has been taken. Perhaps unjust enrichment. But given that anybody using 4.2.2.2 to answer production DNS queries is actually harming themselves with additional latency more than anything "taken" from Level3, that's a stretch too.

Have we really become so full of corporate bullshit that we're stuck analyzing things in its myopic paradigm? I thought this was Hacker News?

PS I notice 77.77.77.77 also responds to pings and DNS queries. Should I expect to get a bill for their services? Because I'd much rather just relish the feeling of a fleeting shared purpose with someone halfway around the world in a vastly different culture.

Thirty years is a long time. Think about how different the economy was in, say, 1930 compared to 1900. Or 1840 to 1870. How much fossil fuel infrastructure lasts for thirty years? We could almost do it by just using the natural replacement cycle.

I could not have said it better. Apart from the immigrant history and technical oriented, my situation is that the Chaddi-dost/butt-buddies are not oriented the same way inregards to making a product or build a company. I feel a minor proportion of the human population happen to have that sort of relationship.
Beyond the inefficient audio design of the headphones it feels like there should also be a better audio feedback so users are aware of how loud the sound is. Why can't the device read you back the volume level in words when you change the volume so you have an objective measure of how loud the volume is? The computer could say a number 1-10 based on the sound level. It makes sense that older devices wouldn't have this feature but a modern computer or phone should be able to do this without a custom app.

On linux you could hack something together to speak the alsa volume level like
amixer set Master 2+ && amixer get Master | grep dB | awk '{print $4}' | espeak -s 300

Do other people use something similar?
Seems the font-weight on the body has been set to lighter. Maybe it looks OK on a Mac, with incorrect font blending. ;- )
The solutions are out there if we put the money into it. It's that simple. The only thing needed is really battery technology which research had been promising. We put a man on the moon in less than a decade doing all calculations by hand and doing all physical testing. All that's needed is funding and the drive.
Just for perspective, coal mining employs about half as many Americans as Whole Foods. That’s one specialty grocery chain. The amount of attention given to coal miners is absurd.
Yeah, if you have really good sound isolation then you would need an in-canal SPL measurement. My rule of thumb is assuming the poor sound isolation typical of most earbuds.
Thanks for the feedback, I think it's more valuable than it appears.

I'll fix this soon.
Excellent, I saw this researching today as well, I will check it out.

What's obviously missing from school is education about actual life concerns - health (including sexual, at least in some countries that pretend that sex doesn't happen), financial, social, etc.

It's not difficult to understand that ears are complex and sensitive. Just a little physical education could help illustrate to children that preserving their ears is of some importance. The problem is not non-isolating earphones. The problem is ignorance.

Also, I mentioned social education. Regarding non-isolating "earbuds", god help us, please educate people that those not wearing the earbuds probably do not want to hear your crappy music; and if you turn it up loud enough to drown out the ambient noise, then you will be essentially providing a narrow band public performance of whatever you are listening to.

Meanwhile, for less than $200 you can have some exceptional Shure in ear headphones that provide pretty flat and efficient response while simultaneously blocking out as much ambient sound as active (more expensive and battery operated) headphones do.

It's just an easier better way to enhance existing server rendered pages to include responsive elements without needing all the single page/routing stuff nor dealing with mass of jQuery binds and hand rolled data stores.

Because networks are limited and the trust placed in them misleading.

Postgres full-text search is Good Enough
You call that a "hatchet job" after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, through an independent forensics review, found[0] the videos to be "authentic and not deceptively edited?"

The case involved the Texas Health and Human Services Commission decision to terminate the state’s Medicaid provider agreements with PP affiliates across the state, based in large part on those very videos.

The Fifth Circuit affirmed that decision in January of this year, which directly refutes your "hatchet job" claim against the video footage in which Planned Parenthood executives admitted to illegally altering abortion procedures to obtain intact fetuses whose organs could be sold to medical research firms for greater profit, and how they found ways to circumvent the federal ban on partial-birth abortion?

I guess here is part of the grand reveal. Congrats on getting it done and documenting the project so beautifully.

The way you can head off those who want to point out the obvious - 'but it doesn't print' - is to mention what you have said here. It provides context. It is okay if you collect the things and re-use one that was originally a parts donor for others and is a bare shell.

What would also be interesting would be if you could record people's reactions to it. Years ago the Polaroid camera was all about sharing, it was fun passing the just made snaps around the table.

Nowadays everyone has a screen so how do you do the instant share?

One thing you could do is have the freshly made snap upload itself to a URL. Whilst it is doing so there could be a QR code gradually reveal itself so people can then 'share' the picture the modern way, to see it on their own phones. A simple web page could do some CSS colour effects and have the classic frame with someone needing to 'waft' their phone around for the picture to reveal.

You could convince under fives that 'this was how it worked' way back in the 1970's. The grandparents would go along with that.

In this way the camera itself need not show the pictures, it could be a 'paperless polaroid' so the sharing thing works . It could break up the dynamic of selfies and 'me with my mates' Instagram photography and bring some fun back, passing around the camera rather than people doing their own thing with their hand-rectangles.

Since you have got so far documenting the project some QR code enabled viewing thing where the URL + timecode makes up the picture could be really good. Plus if you have save and regular share buttons going on.

NFC would be interesting too although a lot of the metal backed phones don't do NFC.
Mobile phones already do this, rather annoyingly. I don't think it's going to help a kid for a device to play nanny. They'll reject the advice like they reject most other advice.

Meanwhile, those of us with other devices (such as using a car's aux jack) have to suffer with annoying notices and delays in boosting the volume to 100%.

Whatever you do, don't raid your 401k or retirement plans to pay these kinds of debts. I'd also take a very strong position that you're only going to pay up to your out of pocket maximum, and file a regulatory complaint over any balance billing or failure to cover services above that.

State regulations matter a hell of a lot here. I'm seriously considering moving to Texas because of debtor laws - any health incident can cause one to accumulate a large amount of "debt" in a hurry, and being able to tell creditors to pound sand gives a hell of a lot of peace of mind.

I wholly agree. But.

The people who write those kinds of articles are mostly just your average Joe who uses the internet exclusively to browse Facebook and the like. Of course this gives them a twisted understanding of the medium.

And then there's those who are just lying I guess (duh!). Plenty of reason for that with the whole fake news hysteria. If you don't want to risk ending up on the wrong end of that debate, your article is already written for you. Risky to defend the free(-er) internet nowadays or even just to refrain from attacking it. Further there's the fact that "a war on fake news" might give the established media an edge, but I'm unconvinced any reputable journalist would consciously consider that when deciding on the tone of his article.

In any case you can also find plenty of articles displaying a better understanding of the matter. It's not like there's some secret global conspiracy against the free internet.

Wow that’s crazy! I thought I was down on my luck last year when I got fired while my wife was pregnant. But medicaid has covered 100% of my daughter bills at the hospital. She’s been in the NICU for 8 months now. So even though I make a software engineer’s salary I haven’t had to pay anything. It’s weird that being unemployed saved me from the same hardship as you. I hope it all gets sorted and wish you all the best.
It seems to me what you’re struggling with is functional programming (the paradigm) instead of Clojure (the language or grammar) itself. This is pretty common for people who are used to the C-like languages. I strongly recommend reading “Clojure for the Brave and True” [1] (especially, Part 2) to anyone who is getting started on either functional programming and/or Clojure.

I do not believe that Muslims (either in America or otherwise) are bad people or a threat. In fact, my understanding is that because America's Muslim community is generally not disenfranchised it is generally more difficult for Islamist terrorists to radicalize people in America without getting caught than it is in other countries where the Islamic community has suffered greater discrimination.

However in my experience, there are many people who do not believe that people from Muslim majority countries are evil but who do believe that Islam is an innately violent religion. At the same time, I do think it's possible that those beliefs are at least partially influenced by a, perhaps subconscious, fear of "the other".
