I do not own a Fitbit, but on my older Pebble, the music integration feature allows me to play/pause the music, switch tracks (to skip that one song in the playlist I should really remember to remove), and adjust the volume.

When I'm working out or doing yardwork, it's handy to have access to these things on my wristwatch rather than trying to fiddle with the phone in my pocket. It's sounds like the most minor convenience, but I use it all the time. If that were to be limited to only a tiny number of apps (and not the Android bluetooth thing, which picks up whatever happens to be playing; usually VLC in my case, sometimes Spotify) it would be a lot less useful.
Are they? In the US radio and TV cannot refuse such ads. I'm not sure how/if this regulation applies to Facebook (radio/tv get there because as a limited space part of their license says that have to support them), but Facebook is too big to try to thumb its nose at politicians like that. There are many ways politics can make life hard for Facebook while staying in the letter of the constitution.

Facebook when it was 100 friends from Harvard could ignore politics. Facebook with millions of users cannot.

The one thing this very biased article does for me is highlight that there is a very strong market need/demand for an instrument like tether and that the incumbent financial system, much like the music industry discovering the internet, is trying to prevent that to happen by any mean necessary.

And they do have way deeper pocket as well as many, many more arms up political puppets to reach that goal.
I'm exactly the opposite. I've never enjoyed a pair of Apple earbuds in my life because of the hard, uncomfortable plastic. Rubber earbuds are mandatory for me.

These will probably be the first Apple headphones I'll buy, and use.
> Sabre does 3.87B in revenue and Duffel is just re-inventing Sabre with a better suite of APIs. What other legacy enterprise, vertical software solutions exist that people could "Duffel?"

I could enumerate 100's of these problems, but this really isn't the right question to ask. The only reason this startup is possible is because the IATA allowed them to be. So perhaps the question should be "how many industries are ready to standardize their communication protocols via modern APIs?"

Great example - providing a unified banking API is clearly a multi-billion dollar a year business. But it requires the network effect of all of the banks to be involved. This either happens via industry groups or via regulation.

Apple's developer guides were amazing. I was able to read through them and become a proficient iOS developer. They are now archived and not updated. Even with experience on the platform, I now often find it hard to navigate the docs and learn major new frameworks. It is a real shame.
that is definitely true
The investor is not the least bit worse off. He gains what the worker loses, and the worker gains what the investor loses. The worker gains the 100k, but the investor gains the extra year of work.

That is, the investor, effectively, gets 2x the time they otherwise would have, because they traded some of their money for someone else's time.

Whereas the worker has now lost 1 year, though they did gain 100k for the time they spent.

If you do not believe that the investor is trading their 100k for something of equal value, then please demonstrate this. For it is this equality that underpins my argument.

Saying the investor "has nothing" is naive, since, as with others, you are ignoring what they traded their dollars for.

I bought a Fitbit ionic two years ago. It was great for the first year. Then it started behaving oddly and now it doesn't work at all with Huawei phones (which I rely on now because they seem to be the first brand that doesn't effectively brick itself after 6 months from metastasizing updates and enhancements).

My solution for the past year has been to leave the device unsynced. Strangely, it still somehow manages to upload data occasionally and I have no idea how it's doing it. about once a month it just gets stuck and I need to restart the thing. I'm going to guess those two things are somehow related but I don't know quite how.

I was planning on switching to a cheap Chinese device anyway. This is the kick in my keister that will get me to do it.

Do you often spend 18 hours with your headphones in? Even on a long day I’ll have 5 minutes to charge them while talking to someone, using the bathroom or getting lunch.
As someone who used to think all the "wrong" things, and then actually sat down and read what quantum computing actually is (thanks Wikipedia!) and realized that the popular depiction is, in fact, wrong, yes, this comic repeatedly hits all the right points.
To put this into perspective, you produce more waste with a grocery trip or a takeout order than you do with owning AirPods.

So let's start with the more impactful stuff before we get down to headphones that are used several hours a day every single day for a couple years.

Not to mention Apple has an extensive recycling program for most of their products.

Theoretically, yes.

Practically, my laptop is in some Wifi network and has an IPv6 address, but that isn't accessible from the outside because the Wifi/router box blocks incoming connection. That is a wise decision overall, but unforunately replaces the "can't connect because NAT" by "glorious IPv6, bit still can't connect".

And I'm not the owner of those boxes.
Again, I'm not saying it's wrong. What I'm saying is in our current system, everything is tied to your job; your health insurance, your credit, obviously your income. If you don't have a job, you don't have food, you don't have housing, you don't have gas in your car.

This to me is very like when people criticize capitalism and are countered with "yet you participate in capitalism, curious!" as though that's a point. Of course I participate in it. I don't have a fucking choice. If I want to take my ethical stance that capitalism is a dehumanizing and oppressive system, how am I to do that? Go live in the fucking woods?

So maybe I have to stay at my job, even if I fundamentally disagree with it, because again, the other choices are horrific. As I said to another commenter, I'd love to hear one of you guys debating whether to continue working at Facebook on their news team, or whatever, if you have a child with chronic illness. Or maybe your wife is in treatment for depression. Hell, maybe YOU are.

I'm not saying people shouldn't do their best to act ethically. I'm saying that painting anyone who can't make those kinds of ethical stances as a complicit bastard is the worst kind of horseshit, and putting the burden of the ethics of their employers on them is ridiculous. Just because a shitty company can find enough people who can't afford to say no to develop their unethical software doesn't mean those people are then bad, especially when, again, the alternative solution is put pen to paper and make what they're doing ILLEGAL. With no room for interpretation.

We'd love to serve customers younger than 25, and the only reason we don't is because insurance becomes prohibitively expensive. As a young company with very limited loss data, it was tough to get a carrier to underwrite a policy that doesn't have fairly strict driver eligibility requirements.

That being said, we're currently negotiating with a different carrier and will hopefully be able to rent to people 22 and up within the next 6 weeks.

Gee, I wish they'd mentioned that in the literal first panel of the comic.
I think their lesion approach is a little awkward and probably doesn't map that well between the fields. Removing a transistor, IMHO, is more akin to removing an eye or some other body part. Yeah, it allows one to determine if that transitor was important, but its impact on behavior is due to damaged hardware. Plus, the software probably can't be written to compensate for missing transistors.

Instead of removing transistors from the CPU to determine if it was important to the "behavior" of the game, I think it would be more analogous to delete portions of memory and see if that alters game behavior. Even then, I think it's much more likely to cause a crash if done without some a priori information.
Worth noting that the paper is specific to science careers, while the Times article tries to extrapolate it to careers in general regardless of field.
This indicates a peak something.
Love the performance, love the component model, and honestly the tooling is starting to get really, really good. I think 2020 is really going to be Svelte's year.

I'd also note that Svelte is the least framework-y of all the frameworks, which is why I think it's perfect for beginners.
I understand a website, with all its HTML, CSS files, JS programs and media files as an offer of the author, a hint how to display it. It is completely up to the user to use a common widespread browser to follow all these rules, use a braille terminal or elinks, or use a heavily customized Firefox which doesn't even execute JavaScript. If you want to enforce a way of rendering, don't use the web. Force your user to use your specific App. And even that can be betrayed. OS level adblocking. So you better force them use locked down hardware and software which cannot be altered...

>The regular airpods are the same shape as the original iphone earbuds, and my normal ritual with those was to immediately throw them in the trash as soon as I opened any Apple product because are horribly uncomfortable. Am I the only one who notices this?

No, I'm exactly the same way. I've always hated Apple ear-buds. These new ones will probably be the first I ever own and use.
I've been eyeing BT headphones for years and years. I've had friends that found use-cases that suited them. AirPods were the first one that fixed almost all my grumbles and moved me from wired headphones.

That being said, hearing from other people I have a suspicion that a lot of it is due to Bluetooth 5.

A Svelte store can hold a deeply nested object. It's up to you how fine-grained you want the stores to be, anywhere from one store per value to one store for the entire application. I think a middle ground is best.
Adaptive EQ is a well established piece of jargon in telecommunications. I’m not sure if that’s actually what they’re doing here, but it would be interesting if they are. The ear canal makes a resonant cavity and they could notch out annoying peaks in the mid-highs that vary from each seating of the buds. This could also be used to level out the magnitude response if they hadn’t made it an open cavity.
The amalgamation file is a really interesting idea -- is this common in the world of C applications? The documentation is quite clear, however, that the amalgamation file and the source files are not the same thing. The source code (1,848 files in 40 folders) can be pulled down here -- https://www.sqlite.org/cgi/src/doc/trunk/README.md -- but more assembly will be required if you're planning to build the project.

UPDATE: maybe not so much assembly is required... just running "make" built the project without any drama (I'm on macOS with XCode and tooling for Xamarin already installed - YMMV in terms whether you might need to install something to compile from source).
I am likely to replace my Inspire HR with one if this deal goes through.
1. Totally, I have, will do more, and would like to...

One big difficulty I've had, because I want to fix things (like docs), is because everything post 3.12 is geared towards Octane and those docs are all quite a bit different than everything before it... (and I'm on 3.12) it makes finding the code to change, text, blob pretty difficult (IMHO) since master is mostly Octane.

2. I know you aren't paid and you're a saint for all you've contributed! You've helped me an insane amount, and I want to say "thank you," for it. I wasn't trying to give you too much shit, I just thought it was a little funny... Ember's docs are in disarray for a new language and design patterns, and so are Swifts! ;) I probably should've used a softer word than "awful," my apologies.

2.1 I'll see you in your issue tracker later today :)

Thanks for being friendly! I super appreciate it, and for letting me know about it being cool opening those kinds of issues. A LOT of Github repos are hostile to _any_ questions at all (i.e. "go to stackoverflow or take a hike"); so, I tend to not make issues and only PRs.
Well, it’s certainly been revealing to see most of the discussion focusing on demonizing the CEO. But he wasn’t acting in a vacuum, and the company has a board.

> most of the contributions it receives are from people who

> are getting paid to make that contribution

I can see this from a software perspective, but is the same true for a tangible device aimed at a consumer?

> Why would someone contribute to your project or simply

> want to read its source?

My answer to this is:

1. There is a growing number of people who are concerned about security and I believe the general public is becoming more aware of such concerns.

2. The ability to customize a product or buy some modification and/or make that modification with relative ease and freedom.

3. Higher quality manufacturing and/or parts, or a unique feature offering not offered in mainstream products.

I'm sure there are other points too, depending on what the target consumer hardware is.

> Also, it's likely you would have to license other people's

> IPs and I have no idea if those licenses would forbid you

> from open sourcing your HW.

Possibly, again depending on the target device. I guess that "open hardware" in this case is "as-open-as-possible hardware".

(2) is undefined. What defines "rendered in the selection?" Which clipboard data stream are we even discussing? How far are you going to take the rendered analogy? Is font too small to read, white on white, an invisible font, or similar "rendered?"

(4) is better but it would have to be every single time, because (2) is impossible to define.
Thank you mikece, to be honest I have no plan whatsoever regarding how I will react if the business become really successful. It is not my full time job, more a hobby to me so I just enjoy it and do my best to acquire qualified traffic to see were it goes.
You mean you've been swarmed by comments from a loud minority. Tether supporters employ large troll armies, to make it appear to be a popular opinion while it might not be.
That's right, of course. I was just trying to convey the idea. But details matter of course. I was thinking of variables that either contained nil or contained an object with the appropriate field. If that precondition isn't meant you need more robust code like yours.

But also, as another commenter pointed out, there is a distinction between "optional chaining" and "nil coalescing" and I explained (roughly) what optional chaining is.
> the time to first meaningful render in svelte is substantially, substantially lower than it is in React, and you face none of the drawbacks of using the React starter stuff (ie ejecting isn't a thing). This may seem like a weird metric, but I think it's pretty vital.

I think this is the most important metric of any JS project.

We rarely need to update thousands of dom elements per second, but all JS projects need to download and start running ASAP. Specially on mobile.

This talk was pretty enlightening: https://vimeo.com/364402896
Yes! I have been using Svelte on Budibase (https://github.com/Budibase/budibase) for the past year. Although Budibase is not in production yet, its a serious project that we plan to release in the next few months.

I have used React and many others over the years - currently using react in my day job.

I really like Svelte. I would happily choose it over React for any of my own projects. I find Svelte simple and intuitive - it is the easiest framework i've ever used, to get to grips with.

The tooling, resources and no. of 3rd party libraries are way smaller than the bigger hitters, like React - understandably as it is much younger. I have not found this to be an issue at all - theres a VS code extension and a great community and website/docs/examples.

It will obviously be more difficult to find devs with Svelte skills, if you are hiring... but its so easy to pick up, i dont think thats a problem.
It is now. Australia is moving towards international norms (thank goodness -- let's hope that happens with climate policy as well!).

When I was a little kid Australia was not metric, still used pounds, shillings and sixpences, and yes, the calendar had Sunday first on the left.
Yes, but it is so much easier to implement Svelte components than components in Angular, React, or Vue. So much less code to write. No need to write classes, just plain functions, so no need for "this". Automatically scoped CSS. Very easy state management, both inside components and shared between components. And Sapper adds even more cool things like server-side rendering and code splitting with no configuration required.
Um... ask your father.
> not writing a cascaded nil-coalescing operator

Given that a large portion of the discussion in this thread is around what this operator is, it seems somewhat valid for a company to want to see you use this. It might represent a deeper experience in the language being used, or at least some previous study of syntactic options.

It is a gross over-simplification - but I've had a lot of managers, and not once have I seen one bust their ass for a year, and then take six months to gather feedback and peer support on their work, in order to get the rapport necessary to do the job they were hired to do.

I mean, they do this sort of thing, in order to show that they are superstar, and should get 2x the headcount they currently have, but they don't actually need to spend a year and a half convincing people with results, in order to be allowed to direct their existing headcount as they see fit.

A senior IC, on the other hand, needs to personally prove themselves at every workplace, before they are allowed to act in the role of a senior. You're expected to deliver the results of a manager, without the corresponding power. You're expected to exercise soft power, and you're expected to acquire this soft power on your own.

It is an incredibly inefficient way of getting stuff done, if you ever switch jobs.
In the older bose headsets you could slap an AAA batteries and be good for a while. These types of batteries won't disappear anytime soon.

Anyway, in 5 years when bose stops producing the qc35 battery pack no one will be able to replace them whereas people using bose qc25 will just have to get new AAA batteries. Either apple talks the talk and walks the walk or it simply shut up about climate, no one cares about virtue signalling if it's to fuck the user for 3% more margin in the end. I'm surethey could have designed it better and fit at the very least user replaceable batteries.
