I toss and turn, a lot, so the wires aren't ideal for me, but I used to use my wired Apple headphones without the wires being too preventative. These are a bit pricy for my use case, but good to know that they might not hurt my ear as much.

Should note that I don't need noise cancellation, I just listen to audiobooks until I fall asleep on nights that I am having trouble getting to sleep, but have a partner who is a light sleeper and can't just play them on a speaker.
Would be quite a boring movie I think.
This, exactly.

I've spent way more time troubleshooting various obscure network problems that ended up being a typo in IP address/port number, than I'd be proud to admit.

Why xml and not simply zipped htmls?

Everybody knows how to author html, if xml is some specific new set of rules, what is the advantage of that approach?

If it is xml, what makes it different from the epub format? Is epub format the subset? What were the advantages of it not being the subset?
Cool, we got Logo, BASIC and now Prolog. All one needs to begin programming, eh.

Similar, I was forced to write scripts in it when I was at a more silicon/hardware oriented company. It's an interesting language but I much preferred moving on to ruby/python for my V&V activities.
You get $20 total in Uber credit, not each way. Also, the voucher only works for trips that either start or end at the parking garage, so can't be used for other random trips.

True though that reservations become more profitable for us the longer they are.
Amplitudes were needed to easily describe wave-like behavior. To produce an interference pattern, we need something like a probability that can be negative to represent the negative half of a wave.

Amplitudes are like probabilities that can destructively interfere when added. With traditional probabilities, if P(A) > 0 and P(B) > 0 the sum of the probabilities P(A)+P(B) cannot be zero. However, we needed to model observations like the two slit experiment where we observed that a location on the target that had positive probability of being hit by a photon in the two single-slit-only situations, that became zero when both slits were open.
I think it's bullshit that "Leetcode" is a game you have to play. I've been in the software business for 25 years and not once had to use any of that knowledge in my work. When those games come up in interviews with me I call them out, if they hold fast I walk. I don't need to have my time wasted. My experience should speak for itself.

Ask HN: Examples where open source invented something new?
Joel Spolsky makes an interesting observation about open source in his review of the book Dreaming in Code, about the overambitious failed Chandler project (https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2007/01/21/the-big-picture/):

"Open source doesn’t quite work like that. It’s really good at implementing copycat features, because there’s a spec to work from: the implementation you’re copying. It’s really good at Itch Scratching features. I need a command line argument for EBCDIC, so I’ll add it and send in the code. But when you have an app that doesn’t do anything yet, nobody finds it itchy. They’re not using it. So you don’t get volunteers. Almost everyone on the Chandler dev team got paid."

And it seems true, at least for the time it was written - Linux, MySQL, OpenOffice, GIMP, Inkscape, XWindows, Gnome, gcc - all modeled after existing, successful commercial products. Commercial products proved the demand, did the overall design work, UI, conceptual metaphors, etc. - although no doubt they stood on the shoulders of prior commercial and research projects.

Was curious to see what others think - are of examples where a new, influential product type or category of software began as open source? Bitcoin perhaps?
Yeah, they would at least have to do a 510k submittal provided they could show a predicate device existed, and that there were existing standards that they could follow. If they're making an SpO2 monitor that doesn't work like any other SpO2 monitor on the market then the FDA would probably put them in De Novo hell for a very long time.

It is not going against the grain. Using release upgrades (upgrading a release without restarting the VM -- unless the version of erts has changed) should only be used where necessary and they rarely are.

They are great to have when you need them but should not be chosen lightly.

Part of the point of this booksite is to show integrating Erlang into a modern environment and not being the oddball deploy at the company. It is the lack of libraries for services used for deployment/monitoring and lack of documentation that is the reason for this.

Also, there is no abstracting away network partitions.
In fairness, a striped region like in [2] signals "don't park within this".
Reading hundred comments and the op is about the lack of documentation. Swift is a good language to learn but api no. The discussion might explain it. But should there be one to address that issue as an ecosystem.

For example ask Apple to do something and let them sort that out using their employee. Or some web site (I use one particular to help me).

Swift is a language like lisp or clojure. You may look at its architecture etc to see whether it is built in issue (lisp is easy but its library is not, say). Or it is really just a hiring issue.

Or may I just ask how to address the original question if it is just language lack of good doc.
Let's not forget that time just before your carefully chosen "40 years" where they starved 50 million people due to central planning.

> disenfranchising users

Given the horrifically low rates of voter turnout, I think it's perfectly clear that many people are okay being disenfranchised if it saves time or reduces stress. I don't see why the same wouldn't apply to software. Most people demonstrably want something that works, not something they're in charge of.

As a German I didn't realize the bad rep white bread has in Germany originated in Nazi propaganda. But I'm not surprised because a lot of urban myths in Germany do unfortunately. White bread isn't less healthy than any other bread by the way, so the author's uncriticial view of German bread myths - and her inevitable spread by repeating them - is a bit disappointing.

If you really want to eat healthy bread, don't look at the color but look at the ingredients. If there's added sugar or syrup then it's probably less healthy. Except if you take into consideration that the added sugars somehow prevent the bread from getting moldy, since eating moldy bread isn't healthy.

When it comes to ingredients bread really is as simple as it gets, there's not much that can go wrong healthwise (except the aforementioned sugars and syrups). It's astonishing how much variety you can achieve with these smallest number of ingredients by simply changing slightly the way it is prepared and baked.

And another myth is that industrially produced bread is less healthy or of lower quality than the one from the bakery or home baked. The one you bake at home using the off the shelf yeast probably will taste the same if not worse than the ones you can buy pre-packeged in the same store. Of course I can only attest this to German mass-baked bread, maybe it's of high quality anyway.

Baking bread is an art. Of course, if you master it you can make bread that tastes like no other but the best tasting bread will always be the one that's fresh out of the oven, still slightly warm.
In Europe there are separate traffic lights for bicycles that turn green a few second earlier than the car traffic lights. This adds a lot of safety since the bikes have time to get past the first car in line. I think a lot of accidents where the car turns right and overlooks a bike in the blind spot can be prevented through this measure.
I have not dug into the data, but for whatever it's worth, cyclists completely ignore the Red Bicycle lights here in midtown. These are red lights that are even shaped like a bicycle, and when pedestrians are crossing in the other direction the bikes keep going.
Nearly all other products competing in the “smart watch” category allow you to use the watch as a music source for wireless earbuds. It’s a very nice feature if you’re doing some activity where bringing your phone is impractical (like running).

This is awesome, I've been wanting something like this for a decade. But if there's no html inside, does that mean I can't style the content with css (or otherwise)?
I actually agree with this. You can steamroll a lot of problems if you never depend on other people for anything, truly don't care about people that need you, and can't be distracted from your mission.

However, it seems this not the typical "high-achiever" game of institutionalized low-risk resume and relationship building. This is the high-risk "ultra-achiever" game of household-name superlatives like Jeff Bezos, Floyd Mayweather, and the like.

Of the people I know personally that made it big as entrepreneurs and athletes, it was a major setback that started their success by knocking them out of a game they were losing. They were the ones that could let go of it and do something else, over and over. Others with the same setbacks ended up dead.
Because fuck the lunatic fringe who think that some Russian troll spending $300,000 in ads in 2016 caused the election of Trump, that's why. (Incredibly, it's no longer a fringe issue, the left and their TDS has embraced this as mainstream) Why should Zuckerberg bow to the most paranoid and partisan people in our society who are asking the impossible?? And fuck the politicians (and whoever else) who thinks people are too stupid to make up their own minds regardless of a couple of advertisements.

Zuckerberg is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't - he might as well take a stand, which he is sorta doing. Good to see some backbone from him. I'm no fan of Facebook but I'm so tired of seeing this company be scapegoated for all the world's problems, it's reaching totally hyperbolic levels and I'm sick of it.

Erlang's tooling has vastly improved in the last few years to the point it's not as much of a concern anymore (a formatter is the big missing thing), and I just happen to prefer its syntax to Elixir's in the first place.

While I can argue in favor of tooling being roughly on-par (sometimes better, sometimes worse), I can't really discuss syntax since this is often just related to taste more than anything.

My stronger argument would usually be in favor of the community you end up with. While both communities are starting to merge and grow closer over time, your average Erlang dev is likely to work on infrastructure components, and your average Elixir dev is likely to be working on web apps. I personally like working on the former better, so there's more limited interest for me in terms of most Elixir jobs anyway, even if it's not like no infra work exists in Elixir.

Both can have a great time working on APIs of any kind, and both can reuse most libraries of each other's community, so as I said, this is starting to become a moot point though. I personally have no problem with either.
How can a device be sold to an end-user without a warranty? Was the device sold by a third party or something?
> I have looked, quite a bit. I have not found a good use case yet

Agree with a lot of the analysis. But not quite the broader thesis. Analogy I would make is this: the fact that some banks are bad does not imply that fiat currency is bad. The fact that Tether is bad does not imply that Bitcoin is bad.

Bitcoin enables payments / transfers without intermediaries. In the existing financial system, intermediaries take a cut of these transactions. (Aside: patio11's employer, Stripe, has built a business on this.) Figuring out whether by eliminating those intermediaries you can lower transaction costs (no interchange / wire fees controlled by card networks / banks) and effectively eliminate a tax on all economic activity seems like something worth exploring.

Just because it's a bubbly space does not mean there's no there-there. Pets.com didn't make me think the Internet was a dead end.

I have often wondered if the solution is to tip the manager/owner of the business and let them distribute the tip (or not) as they see fit. Ultimately tipping or not tipping will be built into the overall cost of the meal so why not give the money directly to the person with the greatest ability to optimise the dining experience.
bike lane parking is just a form of "double parking", so theoretically it is illegal- however the laws of the road do not apply in NYC :)
And what is a political ad?

Does an ad for an abortion clinic count? How about an ad asking for donations for Palestine? Or Hong Kong? Or wall construction? How about an ad that only points out that stocks have gone up, along with a picture of Donald Trump and a flag in the background?

Obviously this falls prey to the classic problem, which is that every partisan sees messages that benefit the other side, even incredibly indirectly, as insidious manipulation, while dismissing outright propaganda from their own side as “just getting the truth out”.
The whole premise of this article is that Tether is not “one dollar minus some fees”, it’s a mountain made of lies, built on a tectonic plate system made of fraud.
What Are Californians Supposed to Do?
Yes, US should take China more seriously, but don't conflate US geopolitical interests with the West. China seeking security via regional hegemony is not an attack on Western values. Undermining US supremacy is not an attack on "the west" - western bloc countries have various interests that doesn't align with American interests, i.e. ME wars, Nordstrom 2, The fact that 3/5 FiveEyes countries haven't banned Huawei. But chief among them is exporting "western values", which has been globally destabilizing including the migrant crisis in Europe.

Document 9 is an paper for domestic policy about curtailing "western" influence within China, prescient after the shitshow happening in HK. China doesn't waste effort spreading the Chinese system outside it's claims, because technocrats knows it doesn't work without scale of 1billion people and they see how counterproductive this strategy is in terms of cost and domestic sentiment. The takeaway of Unrestricted Warfare isn't that China views US as an adversary in a totalwar scenario, but a competitor that has to be challenged using existing world systems. China doesn't seek to dismantle global systems, which it has benefited from, but modify it in manner commiserate with her influence. As the worlds largest exporter and driver of global growth, that's a completely reasonable expectation.

There's a reason China preaches cooperation while US is withdrawing from the world stage. Geopolitically, US is the only developed country in the world that can afford to isolate itself. The economic and demographic future of western countries are not good. Demographically neither is China, and cooperation is the only way forward. Western countries aligned with US postwar because Bretton Woods system + US security guarantee was a formula for economic prosperity. That era appears to be ending and the ensuing misery will make for strange bedfellows.

Again, if you're an American, you should take China more seriously out of self interest. But you should also vote for candidates that takes allies and the world more seriously as well. US foreign, not domestic policy is what can curtail China's rise.
If you ride in the middle of the lane and follow the rules of the road for drivers of vehicles, then it becomes much easier to predict what other vehicles drivers will do (vehicle type doesn't matter).

Let's not forget there were many light, medium, and dark interfaces before the flat design trend took over UI, but since those pre-flat interfaces were almost always built around usability rather than some stark design theory, they were user friendly, worked, looked fine, were obvious, and were almost never harsh on the eyes.
Google 9 dash line

Google belt and road initiative

People are upset that China isn't honoring their agreement and are dismantling the democratic system and free speech HK is enjoying now, these are universal human rights. Rather than China learning from what made HK so prosperous, as they were for a while, the new leadership is heading back towards the old Maoism policies that lead to the massive starvation and famine and lost generation. Any foreigner living in China is treated terribly, can't do basic things, can't become a citizen, and is constantly checked in on or followed by police. They keep all their citizens in a social credit system, they send religious minorities to labor and reeducation camps, harvest organs from them, etc. Not surprising from a country that teaches about and speaks of Hitler in a positive light, you can't really criticize Hitler without criticizing one's own self and past policies. The US at least admits the things it has done that were anything close to that were wrong as they oppose our own values.

To say nothing of Taiwan, an independent country with its own government and system that China still claims is part of their domain, rather than simply accept reality. It has become imperialistically aggressive towards Taiwan and demands airlines and hotels, media, sporting events etc not show the Taiwanese flag, refer to it by its name, or do anything that indicates the reality that exists now, which is that Taiwan is its own separate country and an example of what would have happened if the democracy had taken root in China, where you'd still have free practice of religion and Chinese values, a strong economy, good health care system, free access to information, etc. If you want an example of Chinese imperialism, look no further than Taiwan, the only reason they haven't invaded Taiwan is because they know they can't without serious consequences.

The old wars were at least excused as staving off invading forces that were seeking eliminate democracy. South Korea is its own country now, they have democracy, look at the DPRK versus SK, we were literally fighting evil and SK is better off for it. Same for the other countries. We're pretty crappy at imperialism if that's the goal since none of those countries are part of any kind of empire and we barely have any influence over them. Thankfully Vietnam didn't end up like DPRK and adopted capitalism at least or a much less dictatorial version of communism.

At least in the US, you're allowed to read about the ills of imperialism and criticism of past and current government actions. In China, you can't even compare the leader to a cartoon character without serious consequences. If the government is doing something wrong, you as a citizen wouldn't know about it and wouldn't be allowed to speak publicly about it, much less organize a protest against it.
