Looks like most beloved tool by Reddit and HackerNews users. Thanks for sharing, I will make a little experiment this evening with reading ~10 bookmarked articles.
Eh not really.

The limitation on active noise reduction is mostly latency, and hardware constraints when using adaptive filtering in a small package without a large battery.

Whatever "Adaptive EQ" means it may or may not be particularly novel. I've seen worked on things similar for years - changing filter parameters in response to microphone input isn't always easy but it's not untrod ground.

Going to have to listen to it to be the judge of anything, like all audio products.
I don't think I own 100 items that use batteries. I mean, I'm curious, and I'll make a list, but I'm definitely not replacing things every year.

I've got a MacBook that's a few years old, an iPhone that's two years old, and AirPods that are less than a year old, and... my Apple TV remote is many years old and still only needs charging every couple of months. My Kindle is many years old and only needs charging every couple of weeks. My two USB power bricks still seem to be doing well. One is three years old, the other almost a year old. Apple Watch is about two years old, still makes it through almost two full days on a charge.

I think everything else electronic either plugs in or uses replaceable batteries (garage door opener, car keys).

I might be forgetting something, but 100 items is an order of magnitude more than I think I use, and I'm not replacing most of them most years.

And yes, I clearly consume a lot of Apple kit. I like to think I don't do so blindly, though.
Study Estimates 50% of Web Sites Using WebAssembly Do So for Malicious Purposes
Debatable whether the feds would go after the competing stablecoins, but depending on the logic for the prosecutions/seizures, there are outcomes where they're economically inviable.

e.g. If Tether gets shut down because of fraudulent misuse of reserves, then the government might be OK with some aboveboard execution. If on the other hand they get shut down for money laundering via tether, well, stablecoins exist to enable that, and if they can't enable that they likely don't have a use case large enough to support the engineering/operational teams required to run them.
You are not kidding, opening up the network tab in Chrome reveals they are loading nearly 300 images named: 0000.jpg -> 0289.jpg and stitching them together in canvas elements as scroll-able videos (Each image being ~50kb).
Active noise cancelling.
I've demoed my $25 Anker or mpow earbuds (the Airpod-likes) to many coworkers sporting Airpods and they're universally astounded by the quality of the cheaper buds. I've converted quite a few people who lost their Airpods.

The chead buds don't sound quite as good as Airpods, but they're 85% of the way there, fit better, can actually handle the rain and sweat without breaking down, can be used during exercise without falling out, and they cost a fraction of the price.
Can you provide source for the claim? AFAIK kraken is run by Jesse Powell in the US and it is totallt separate company from finex/tether.
coworker bought pebble preorder - when it arrived he was very underwhelmed and disappointed at what he bought.
Oh, also, FYI, transgender is adjective, not a noun, so rather than say "MTF transsexuals" you should say "transgender women". "Transgenders" is also incorrect usage.
Is the point that any (board) game can be boiled down to the mathematical backbone? Seems quite trivial.
Leetcode is just a game that you have to play to get into these companies. I suspect that OP had other interview rounds that went poorly. There is always a chance of getting a bad interviewer, but it doesn’t often happen in every single round.
"Youtube ads seem to have become more frequent and longer in just the last few months. My response: avoid Youtube."

You mean whether it is biologically available? I guess, the synthesis has been out there since the 1940s, and other procedures has been found in the 1970s: https://community.dur.ac.uk/i.r.baxendale/papers/Tet2016.72.... Because these procedures are still in use, my hunch is that they are in use in vain.
There are a few high-end in-ear headphones in a similar form factor with active noise cancellation.

Echo buds: https://www.amazon.com/Echo-Buds/dp/B07F6VM1S3/
Sony WF-1000XM3: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WF-1000XM3-Industry-Canceling-Wi...

There's probably more, but this was my simple amazon search. Lots of manufacturers are calling their earbuds noise canceling with cVc 6.0 or 8.0, but those are only for phone calls, not for other audio.
This is not hijacking the scroll event. Look at the scrollbar. The page scrolls exactly as you'd expect according to your input method and operating system.
Same. Nobody was born a senior engineer. I learned through building. We need to give everybody at least the same chances we were given. And hopefully to do better for them.
Yes, if the _only_ reason you need to replace an item is because the battery can't be replaced, that is only because it is in the manufacturer's interest to make it that way. It is not in your interest. They've got to keep you on the endless upgrade cycle one way or another, it gets harder as products mature and become 'good enough.
Somehow I expect my life to be plenty valuable with its ending around age ~80, despite the inevitable heat-death of the universe. Existential and emotional issues are quite different from medical/public health ones, so trying to substitute the former for the latter comes across as, in a way, snobby.

Imagine telling a pair of newlyweds, "oh, may you have long life, good fortune, and good health, but also some day the sun will burn to cinders and everything will decay into fundamental particles as entropy overtakes all." The latter is only even relevant to the former as a way of showing that you think inhuman universal things are somehow more important than human things.
Kind of trying something similar. My jeans seem to be tough enough, but I’ve had a hard time with t-shirts. I’m looking for plain t-shirts without logos. What brands do you buy?
I'm speaking more generally, not just about battery replacement. I cannot be in the mindset of disposable merchandise because I would be thinking about this stuff all the time.
TCL. That brings me down the memory lane to IRC and all those Eggdrop bot scripts I've written. :)
On the technical track your job is to get the management track to make the right technical decisions. This is hard: they have more power and don't have to listen, but a proven track record of good advice - combined with hard knocks when things didn't go well that you claim to be preventing gives you the power to give them the strategic direction they roll out.

Don't forget that there are more possible correct answers to strategy than there are people to do it. Should your company continue to update the current project, work on the big re-write to fix all the problems, or abandon current products for something complete new? All of these are valid answers for different situations, and some of the reasons to choose each are not technical and so you shouldn't influence them.

I have a dozen projects I'm thinking about at any given time. Some will never get more than thinking about. Some are in progress. Some I'm working to get into progress. Some are likely to be needed soon and are just waiting for the time of need so I can save the day with a plan (if the likely need turns to reality). Some are bad ideas that I need to prove are bad ideas so that we don't go down a bad route.
Did you guys really start from machine code or do you mean assembler?
They tried with the Littoral Combat Ship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littoral_combat_ship), but even when explicitly trying to design a ship that's cheap, easy to build and relatively disposable, they couldn't restrain themselves from larding it down with features until it was fat and expensive. And of course most of those features ended up not really working right anyway.

Sigh.
Hey, founder of interviewing.io here. We're not just for practice. If you do well in your mock interviews, you can book interviews with companies like Microsoft, Twitter, Coinbase, and a bunch of others with 2 clicks. Literally no one sees your resume, and you get guaranteed interviews at companies.

I can't promise you we have all the companies you want, but unlike Triplebyte, you can choose which companies you want to talk to, and you don't have to talk to anyone, just book.
Expect is an amazing tool for dealing with old hardware that _insists_ on interactive prompts instead of CLI flags.
Totally makes sense.

The prices we're showing on the site are the all-in daily rates. So if the price for an Explorer is $65/day and you rent it for 2 days, you'll be charged $130. Whereas when I look at Hertz, the price for renting a standard SUV for their downtown location from the 28th to the 30th is $140 per day, but for two days the total all in cost is $320 without any extra add-ons.

It might actually make sense for us to show the prices on our site without taxes+fees included so as to look comparable with other companies' prices.
Working Group on Algorithmic Justice on HUD Revisal of Disparate Impact Standard
I'd be glad if we all could use mobile phones where we are able to change the battery. There is no way around, batteries are wearing parts. And I know that most phones (and even laptop computers) use small/weird form factors to use the even the last bit of space available, but I'd be glad to do with a little less battery life, if I just could switch batteries.
I think Svelte is very good for sites. I'm using it for my own, and wrote it up: https://www.swyx.io/writing/svelte-static/. i like that the progressive upgrade story (aka if i need more dynamic functionality, i dont have to retool dramatically) is there and it is super straightforward to use React on top of Svelte if i absolutely need to.

That sounds very annoying!

I'll have a fix for that in future. I've found a work around is to clear the input field, click outside it, click back inside the empty field, and begin typing again.

Regarding the lag it might be because the service is located in the US. I believe you might be in EU/UK.

This small location difference seems insignificant and yet most content is served over geographically distributed servers, and BrowserGap paid version uses servers closest to you.

I'm thinking of touring this "free internet cafe" version to other regions, because the lag caused to people outside the US is actually significant.

If it's no trouble to you, you can add your email and approximate location to this form

and I can let you know when the service is near you.
I agree with you - I think you've misunderstood my comment. (I said parent, not grandparent.)
Oh, sorry, I originally commented in another thread based on this npr submission which was marked as a duplicate: https://www.npr.org/2019/10/28/774010986/secret-air-force-sp...
It's in the EU's best interest to treat this like a toddler's temper tantrum - wait it out and pretend it never happened when the screaming tapers off.
You're not making a great case for senior ICs being impactful.

I mean, what you described is one way to deliver senior-level impact for a team.

However, this has a very important problem. Every time you join a team, you have to build up this rapport from scratch. If you switch jobs every few years, you'll find half your professional time consisting of busting your ass to build up rapport, only to have to start from zero at the next job.

When you're hired as a manager, you don't need to do (this kind of) rapport building. You just tell people what to do, and they will build it.
It's possible that spending time on those 1500 extra steps might help. However, it takes a decent chunk of time to walk 1500 steps, and there are so many forms of exercise you could do in that same time that might be far more valuable for your health... and a lot of them actually could be a lot more fun for most people if they take some effort to discover them.

I worry that these tools perform a sort of psychological trick on people that resembles a "denial of service attack", fooling them into thinking they are using their time wisely by just walking around more, even if the benefits are negligible & leading them to avoid exploring other options.

Your site doesn't seem to say anything about being limited to SF on the main page. I was a little confused at first having not read your last line about being SF only and was trying to figure out how I could check if you were in Denver for an upcoming trip.
Actually since Tcl 8 that is no longer true, yet it keeps being repeated as such.

http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.0.html

TclTk was great, but it also teached me never again to rely on languages without JIT or AOT available on their toolchains.

Rewriting Tcl functions into C code was a routine task.
its written with typescript, but inside of svelte components, it doesnt support typescript authoring by default. there are third party ways to preprocess typescript though, just not officially supported.
DrivesUs would be a problem for me, because I'd keep forgetting whether it was DriveUs or DrivesUs
Time traveler from the 80s here to confirm, people freaked out about sushi.
That’s why I mentioned that abundance of options on all levels of the service of “providing healthcare” is crucially important for reducing costs over time. I can imagine different plans for different people of different healthcare needs (young and old, employed and unemployed etc), covered by more than one healthcare provider, in the same manner it is currently done in airway transportation.
That's a great idea, thank you much!
> It seems unfair to accuse WeWork of winning simply by undercutting its rivals so as to starve them of oxygen.

I think it's a great jumping off point for criticism actually.

Those other companies that they are trying to asphyxiate are started by people, with dreams and families and employees.

It's a terrible scorched earth strategy that I'd love to see made illegal if there were only some way to police it.
I don't even want to spend $250 on a new phone, tablet or computer. The world has lost it's damn mind. I have a $10 corded earphones from Amazon, great sound quality, going to 2 years. I can think of what to do with that extra $240 AFTER TAX MONEY than give it to Apple, and here folks are ready to spend it again on a new version.
Bitrate isn't the problem. Modern codecs like Opus achieve transparency at around 100-120 kbit/s. Even uncompressed CD audio (at 1.411 kbit/s) could be streamed over Bluetooth 5 Low Energy – just (about 1.6 Mbit/s usable).
Yeah, this kind of sensationalist articles start to be more like advertisements for tether since it has kept its peg for so long.
That still doesn’t help the environment. The batteries can be changed and they still have to be disposed of. Having less battery capacity doesn’t help. In fact, you would need to change them more often.
To be fair, reformulation isn't exactly cheap (though compared to a new drug it is), and often they are better than the generic. Generic insulin still exists, but the reformulations are better - or so the diabetics I've heard from have said.
It's just a video, but the scrollbar is the tracker for playback. Definitely a novel take on playing a video in a web page, but nothing too technical going on here.
My concern would stem from them attempting to replace the firmware with Android Wear. Because Android Wear is licenced they may feel pressure to use the same os so as not to upset licensees such that any improvements to AW on Fitbit gets shared. Or they may go the Nest route with custom firmware based on Fitbit. It will be interesting
can you quantify national chains being “inconvenient”?

i find those sorts of statements to be a sort of “biz-smell”. it is easy to make dismissive claims about incumbents...and dangerous when those claims do not clearly map to value statements about your product/service. They are “inconvenient because of X, unlike us because of our feature/service/attribute Y”.

if someone has never rented a car from a national chain, or if they have never had an issue doing so (which is my experience) your assertion without context may fall flat.

the uber voucher is neat, but i’ve had avis bring a car out to my house and drive me home after returning it to the lot. all i had to do was chat with a human for 1-2min and explain my personal logistics. my experience is an outlier...but informs my analysis of the “inconvenient” claim.

Regardless, great work launching! I will be looking forward to you expanding geographic coverage so I can give you a spin :)

Meanwhile try one, then try an older Apple watch, the Fitbit is straight up trash (with nicer battery life.) Fitbit UX is bad, and requires tons of interaction between the phone and watch and is remarkably hard to use, even switching watch faces requires digging multiple screens into the fitbit app and a 30+ second sync period, on the Apple watch this is known as 'swiping right' or at worst, holding down and tapping 'add new'.

The Pebble was worlds better at this, when I used the Versa I was surprised by it. It sells tons even though Wear OS is way ahead.
Modern gcc handles this very well actually. Here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Stack-Checking.html
Very bad news for anyone who has a Fitbit device. Google tends to destroy any "smart" devices they acquire; first they tie it more closely to their ecosystem, too much for comfort, then they remove features, then they get bored and neglect it, then you have a brick.
Dealers do service their own cars, but we cover the costs. So if a car on the platform requires an oil change, the dealer performs it but we pay.
I use behind the neck BT headphones with over-ear cups as I'd be worried about sweat on an expensive piece of equipment I use every day.
I have this problem, too. I can't wear my beats noise cancelling headphones for too long or the pressure starts to hurt.

The Apple web site states that the new AirPods have an internally-facing microphone, as well. I wonder if that will help. They're touted as being unnoticeable.
I agree they could probably build out the hardware and software, but they'll be getting a wealth of data from this which is pretty invaluable.
My impression would be that as for the huge amount of data about the activity of individuals.
> They can charge a high price for new drugs to recoup their development costs, & then charge closer to the cost of production once that development has been covered

You have just described the patent system. They get a period of patent protection to charge high prices, then anyone can make the drug and competition lowers prices.

There are some places where this falls down, i.e. there are some generic drugs that have high prices due to a lack of competition, but that's not the common case. Have a look at the price of Ibuprofen to see how unpatented generics ought to work.

What really causes the failures is the amount of bureaucratic overhead which deters other companies from entering the generics market. When the market for a drug isn't very large, the return from selling a generic is less than the regulatory cost required to enter the market, so nobody does. Lower the compliance costs and that doesn't happen as much.

Fitbit is pretty good about this. I've noticed that some derived values such as resting heart rate are not available for export, but the important stuff all seems to be there.

> If you're sampling at 44100hz, those 4096 bins gets you bin sizes of around ~10.76Hz per bin. So your lowest frequency range that you can identify would be 0-10.76hz, then 10.76hz-21.52hz, etc, up until 44062hz-44073hz.

I was going to say that the bins are distributed logarithmically, so they aren't uniformly-sized like this. But I did some research and I guess I was wrong and they are uniformly sized, so I learned something.

> it's common to have windowing inside the FFT that I don't really understand

The FFT turns a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. To do that, the math assumes that the signal is unchanged for all time. In other words, it treats that chunk of samples you give it as looping infinitely backwards and forwards in time.

But the set of samples you gave it are a segment from a signal that does change over time. So when you loop it, you'll get discontinuities.

For example, let's say your signal is a single sine wave whose period is twelve samples:

-. .--. .--
\ / \ /
\ / \ /
'--' '--'
|...........|...........|

For your FFT, you take a chunk of sixteen samples:

-. .--.
\ / \
\ / \
'--'
|...........|...

From the Fourier transform's perspective, the sound looks like a loop of that chunk:

-. .--. -. .--. -. .--.
\ / \ | \ / \ | \ / \
\ / \| \ / \| \ / \
'--' '--' '--'
|...........|...

But that loop introduces a sharp discontuity. The FFT doesn't realize that discontinuity is not part of the original signal, so it will go ahead and analyze it. In order to get a jump like that, you need a lot of high frequency impulses, so the analysis will give you all of these extra high frequency results that aren't part of the original signal but are merely artifacts of you chopping the signal into pieces.

Windowing basically fades outs the edges of each segment to reduce those discontinuities so that you don't get the artifacts in the results. There are a bunch of different ways to do it because they're all sort of hacks that balancing fixing bogus artifacts with not wanting to mask actual signal that happens to occur near the edge of the segment.

Why would AirPods usage be a useful model for estimating the expected lifetime of Powerbeats pros?
I think access to bank APIs is a similar space. Companies like Tink or Truelayer used to rely on credential passing but now with the wake of open bank apis (PTSD2) they are implementing standard oauth flows. That being said, I think that the biggest entry-level problem in that space is an enormous level of regulations regarding bank data. You can't even start using their API without your app being validated by them.

the other posts about the ownership issues aside a good amount of people will find it ethically reprehensible to make money off a scam like this and to participate or be involved with it at all so I've always considered these "why don't you bet on it?" arguments to be in borderline bad faith.

If you told me that I could make a ton of money by betting on the blood diamond market I wouldn't do it even if I knew 100% that I'd make money. It says very little about one's confidence in predictions. I don't want to spend five minutes of my life being financially involved in the crypto circus.
