100% agree with this. This is V1 so we're working on updating the homepage and individual car pages to make it look less barren and add a degree of social proof and trustworthiness.
I was really happy with the Fossil hybrid watch that I got for christmas two years ago. The bluetooth worked perfectly which I would never had expected.

Whilst the Fossil app is great the actual bluetooth reliability has gone downhill with the latest updates and I'm wondering whether it is related to talent moving to Google.

The new shape of these makes me not want them. I seem to have the exact same ears as whoever Apple has modeled their earbuds for and they're super comfortable.

Every other in-ear headphone I've tried has been super painful and falls out at the slightest bump.
Probably, but it's unlikely that Garmin would sell to Google.

This is the first time I’ve seen an AR experience launched from the browser. I expected to be kicked to the App Store to download Apple’s shopping app when I clicked See it in AR, but instead the AirPods instantly showed up on my desk (without prompting for camera access even). When did this capability get added?

Edit: looks like this is powered by Apple and Pixar’s USDZ file format for sharing compressed 3D models. I’m guessing it overlays the model over the built-in camera app, so Safari never asks for permission to use my camera.
It is still vastly different to paste a command you can inspect visually when copying than an unknown command injected imperceptibly.
I'd disable javascript on the offending website (not web apps, but blogs, news sites, or the likes) for anything JS related that causes annoyances, like popups or unsolicited modals or alerts.

I don't understand why it's an indictment. SoftBank decided to spend billions of dollars on a stupid risky bet, which is fine, they're allowed to do that. Then they tried to offload that risky bet onto the general public in an IPO. The system of modern finance said "hold on, this is a stupid risky bet, you can't use our money for it". So now SoftBank has to either accept the loss or make the bet successful without the help of the rest of the financial system.

That's what's supposed to happen, no?
Based on my knowledge of physics, the wave is eliminated and not in any way perceivable.
I tried switching to Bluetooth headphones around 2014 to terrible success. The entire pairing process seemed more complicated then necessary. This on it's own isn't great, and it was always a recurring pain if I wanted to repair it with a different device, but I kind of got used to it. My biggest issue was just reconnecting to an already paired device was incredibly unreliable. Every so often it just wouldn't pair to a device, and I would either have to just wait (30 mins or so), or redo the pairing process (and sometimes that didn't even work!).

Needless to say, I gave up after 2 months or so and went back to wired headphones. I've use Airpods now for about a year now, mainly at work or when I walk my dogs, and have had zero issues.

Why bracket? The reason is that there is not only ket vectors |v> but also functionals <u| that can be applied to them, which will look like this <u|v>. So there are brackets around the construct. Think <bra|ket> if you like.
>No link to the phone

wut? being linked to your phone is literally the whole point of a fitbit. it syncs your recorded fitness data back to the phone, and displays notifications from the phone on your wrist.
Oh, just wait until they expand Verily in a big way, they're going to have some crazy data on biometrics
Svelte (and Sapper) has the potential to be huge. I normally don't participate on any online forum but signed up specifically to comment on this topic. I've experienced building web sites starting with cgi-bin handlers to React apps and everything in between. React reminds me of the Java days when we would use the Spring framework - huge tooling and setup, architecturally moribound (in a sense, dont flame me), and too many layers separated from the fundamental technology - HTML/CSS/Javascript. Out of all web tech, React is my least favorite and I find it in many ways to be absurd (my opinion, dont flame me). Don't get me started on React Native...

Svelte is the proper step forward - it's an actual improvement in web development and keeps you close to the fundamental technologies without large architectural costs. I know this is a religious argument but after 20 years I am squarely in the readable code vs highly architected code camp. With heavy architecture you have to know too much to get into the code. I remember a joke about Java that to read a text file you needed like 20 LOC and 10 classes (or something like that don't flame me please).

Svelte is clean, has intuitive separation of concerns, is close to the fundamentals, and using it feels like web development has actually been improved. The lack of Typescript will be resolved hopefully soon.

I only wrote this as a public kudos to the Svelte team and to voice my support. Angular's early days were close, vue is closer, Svelte might have nailed it. React belongs in the trash.

Dont flame me please
I figure they just want the data.
HR wants the cogs that are flexible because they can cram them somewhere whenever the company wants spin down a team and move the personnel elsewhere. This is great for big companies that just need warm bodies to crank out crap however it's an inefficient process when you look at the lower level. You have a larger team of people that are less familiar with the task that a smaller team of experts could handle better and faster. If you can handle the schedule and direct cost hit of a larger, less specialized team, it reduces the later costs of needing to lay off people and hire new people. You can just move these warm bodies around somewhere else. A small specialized team is going to be a bit more riskier since once the job is done, are you going to have a need for these experts? Would they want to stick around doing something they never wanted to do? If a specific field is your core business, hiring experts is critical when starting up. But once youre a massive corp, you really just need boots on the ground to handle the mundane. College fresh-outs are usually the kinds of people that get drawn into these warm body kinds of jobs. They want blank slates that can crank out code, documentation, or whatever the pointy hairs need. If you really do consider yourself an expert, consider a consulting/contractor gig where you come in, do the specific job they really need, and leave with a bucket of cash.
TL;DR, for me, the individual measurement is not as important as the quantifiable trend you can gather over time.

I can only speak for myself but for me the gamification of fitness is not in necessarily doing extra things randomly throughout the day just to hit the desired number.

I wore Fitbits for years (before switching to an Apple Watch) to be able to quantify my activity levels on a daily basis. In doing that, I can see trends over time and adjust. I feel that it was very informative to see how my average resting heart rates decreased as I focused on being healthier. I was also able to get a better average of my activity levels and correlate that with how I feel and the average of my weight measurement over time. All of those measurements together is where I see the usefulness.
most people don't exercise effectively and are too lazy to get a trainer so a workout watch is a good way to know that they didn't really work out as hard as they thought they did.

it's a nice way of tracking your fitness level coz that stuff goes by the wayside in your prime working age 20-50.

if you're a fitness enthusiast then yeah you're definitely monitoring heart rates already with a more expensive watch(more accurate Fitbit matches vs semi accurate Apple)

the value prop exists, people just don't know that much about fitness - there's a reason for the obesity crisis. insurance companies need to start tying rates to medically measured and vetted BMIs
You fundamentally misunderstand the article you cite. It describes population-level events, and it’s entirely compatible with what I’ve said: variable mutation rates, in modern evolutionary biology, are entirely explained by variable selective pressure (see “purifying selection”, which is what I’ve described in my previous comment using your example).

As for the second article, I’ve made reference to that in my previous comment, too (that’s GC bias). And, as mentioned, this isn’t relevant here.
Jup, so much visual clutter on some landing pages. Cookies, subscribe for my newsletter, chat popup. Perhaps You can use privacy badger to block everything from that domain.
I also find those stats to be gimmicks, but I mostly use my pebble to measure how many hours I work per week (with some simple software I wrote in C, main reason I loved the pebble platform), and since then I stopped working 55-60 hour weeks. In that sense awareness can indeed make a difference.
What doesn't make sense? Limewire is P2P.

My impression of the -sparse- darknet mentions is that they were independently (= not through their P2P monitoring software) looking for useful data there and manually inserting it into their datastore.
The dynamic EQ based on a microphone is an interesting choice.

I don't even know if the two are related, not being sound/audio/whatever expert, but I'm continually amazed that I can blast music on a HomePod, speak in a conversational tone or quieter (of course I've tested), and Siri still hears me. Whatever dark wizardry makes that work would come in handy here, yes? Or is your argument more that, dark magic or not, the physical hardware isn't there?
Yep, that's the exact rental car company MO. By providing the demand side, we're allowing car dealers to do what car rental companies have been doing for the last 50 years.

I’ve seen this before. Very recently I saw a candidate rejected based only on the fact that they were rattled by a word-search problem (find words in a letter grid) on a whiteboarding test. It was frustrating to me, as I had seen this person’s production code at a previous job and witnessed them successfully working problems.

“I just can’t hire someone who fails this sort of problem”.

Given that this person was applying for a general backend position building foundational, framework derived features (mostly CRUD and some light analytics) it was confusing to me. There is literally zero application for graph traversal in their work. They will absolutely never encounter this sort of problem in the course of developing our software...which is b2b, targeted at industry experts: we build software that generates reports. Not even complex aggregates...just moving window averages and the like.

At this point in my career, after building more than one team/business I’ve learned that the shape of your technical interview loop informs not just the codebase you generate...but also your engineering culture.

You can definitely tell something is going on when the active noise canceling is on but it's not a big deal most of the time. It's good at blocking repetitive noise (office, car, plane) but bad at blocking other things like a car horn, a gun, someone clapping, &c.
FWIW, I've tried to set up one pair of Airpods, and they were broken right out of the box. Wouldn't pair with anything.

So that's a 1 in 1 failure rate ;)
Biofeedback has immensely improved my ability to cope with anxiety without needing medication for panic attacks. It helps me spot them as they come on, "snap" my brain out of it, and gives me something to focus on while doing breathing/mindfulness exercises to prevent the worst symptoms from manifesting and requiring more action.

Ugh... I get how Google's acquisition would make sense, but why does every company have to do everything? I know it's because of walled gardens and "integration" but it really sucks if you really like Fitbit because of some niche feature you're compelled to buy into the whole ecosystem.

After watching what happened to Nest I don't see how any current owner would be excited. I saw a newer, lower priced version released and being forced over to Google services. They used the brand and likely the team to develop more products, but none of them seem very compelling. They're all fairly identical to products other companies make.

Foothold into wearables market with established brand, manufacturing footprint, and presumably some expertise in regulatory environment. If they can pair with Pixels and stream back raw data, I hear that Google is pretty good with data analysis. Wearables + cloud is in early innings. Apple Watch afib detection is a shiny trinket but, at least to my understand has negligible clinical value in and of itself.
> ... saying 'I did it for $0' is not useful.

He spent time, not money. His statement is accurate.

Edit: It's a subjective point of view to say it's not "useful". I found it helpful to see what he did.
How do you like the WH-1000xm3’s?

I think they’re a really dumb pair of headphones considering the fact that they automatically connect to either my phone or laptop at random and I have to reconnect them by holding the power button for 5 seconds every time to switch between laptop and phone.

Despite this, the sound quality is pretty good... but it still doesn’t justify how relatively dumb these pair of headphones are.
Bose appear to has their stuff together when it comes with multi-device pairing. I can pair both my Soundsports and QC35 headphones with multiple devices at the same time.

When choosing between QC35 and Sony's noise cancelling cans, Bose was a clear winner due to that fact alone.
In addition to working in tech, I'm also a certified personal trainer (I got it to volunteer train youth at a YMCA, and have kept at it because I work with a small number of people who are trying to enact transformation in various parts of their health & wellness).

I got an Amazfit Bip (super cheap, with GPS and HRM). I lift (heavy, 5/3/1 style) and trail run.

In short: steps are usually an indication of the aggregate of other things in your life. I leave my goal setting at 8K steps/day. On a 3-4 mile run day, I get it out of the way first thing. Some gym days are good for about 2000 steps.

On other days, I find that I am near the end of the day and I've literally managed all of 500 steps (working at the desk).

I do have more awareness of my distribution of steps/activity throughout the day. If I hit my 8K steps by 7am and have 9K steps at dinner, I know I was pretty sedentary all day.

I like to see 4000 steps at lunch, and 4000 steps at dinner, etc. Getting steps also gets me off the couch if I'm having a lazy day, gets the dog longer dog walks because I see an indicator of what I could give to her, etc etc.

With a busy schedule, hitting 8K steps EVERY SINGLE DAY takes work at least a few days each week. Sometimes my girlfriend needs another 2000 steps for her day, so I go with her too. It's a plus and we get that extra intentional time together. I personally welcome the quantified nudge, and it keeps me and my family out of the ditches of laziness and that lead to more gym, runs, hikes, etc.
Yeah I could do that I suppose. I host several people on it however. Right now the unique port is enough.

And let's be clear that by "healthcare providers," we mean insurance companies.

And by "timely advice," we mean notifications that you need to shop for new insurance, because they've detected that you have become a riskier bet and are dropping your coverage.
The bug poster is a well known German tech blogger (blog.fefe.de , in German), so maybe that's why it's gained traction.

He also whined on his blog that saying "it's what expected abd that's how it works on every browser" is bullshit, Firefox was the 1st browser that e.g. implemented popup blocker, which obviously breaks the "expected" functionality of window.open; or blocking 3rd party cookie also isn't according to the spec of how cookies work.
I don't think your comment is in conflict with the parent comment.

Yes, a single sample file can produce a sound — a tiny impulse spike "tick" — but that sound doesn't have any audible frequency or pitch because there's no oscillation or tone.

I'm the guy who enjoyed Rule the Waves, and even I found CMANO to be a bit of a slog. There's a ton of interesting data and scenarios, but it's just... so... clumsy to play.
“I trust it because I need it and there are no alternatives” is not a compelling argument. It’s literal wishful thinking.
Your last paragraph establishes beyond reasonable doubt that you've never played a game of high-level Scrabble, nor sat at one or watched one online. If that's true, then why would you feel the need to knock it down, something which you're not knowledgeable about?
The cost of deletions is heavy, and I wouldn't have done it this way, but note that where it really matters is if you have to do this repeatedly in a loop. But you don't have to do it repeatedly -- you can just delete a ton of messages at once, at the same cost as deleting a single once. As long as user perceptions go, the network latency is probably going to dominate shifting down even a million integers (< 2 ms on my machine), which I suspect most people don't even have.
Is the cumulative time spent screwing around reading reviews, comparing brands and choosing products more than the time spent replacing broken things? Just buying the cheapest thing that does what you are looking for saves a heck of a lot of time.

Everybody loves to go on about quality but quality doesn't always pan out in terms of time or money cost. There's plenty of cases where some thing you've bought will meet its end in a way unrelated to whether it's high or low quality. If you really want to optimize you have to tailor your purchasing to your specific use case.
There is also LD_DEBUG, which is quite helpful.
Have you tried it? I do (or did until a month ago when it got stole at a gym locker room). I have the break alert set so I get a few hundred steps in at least once an hour and I do walk to work once a week or so if my step average has been lower than I’d like during the weekday. I definitely walk more due to my Fitbit. For now I’m checking my phone which is suboptimal.

And you don’t stare at it while working out. You might look at it to see if you’re above or below your target HR if you’re doing long distance running or if you’re doing HIIT. If you’re just trying to get your ass into the gym then yes it’s not that important but if you want to improve your time then it’s great.

I do admit it did give me “sleep anxiety” if my time to fall asleep was a bit longer than usual. The other con was it was a bit bulky so my sleeves would get caught often.
A step back from what? Jquery?
> but doesn't protect from a device with no disk encryption or weak disk encryption (likewise with key passphrase) being stolen outright within the month's window, or an old key being found within a month.

Well, it also doesn't protect against the key being exposed within that month and used immediately. That's what makes it a mitigation and not a protection. But against the example class of threats that were presented ("There is a file sitting in a backup or on a former employee’s computer which grants the holder access to your infrastructure.") which seems to indicate leaking of private keys over long periods (and the long period is what makes it non-obvious it's leaking), I think it works quite well.

The alternative is to move to a centralized authentication system, but that's got its own set of problems which makes it more of a trade-off than an extra set of practices which mitigates the problems inherent with the current choice. For example, there almost always needs to be a way into the server without network access for network related problems. You're now have the same problems inherent with managing local logins on servers (albeit a much smaller set of logins, maybe one), but maybe it isn't through SSH public keys, and is much harder to change. Will that get rotated? Will that password get changed after someone leaves if it was shared with them?
> The dominant use case for cryptocurrency is speculation. Speculators want to put value into the system, somehow have it become greater, and then take more value out of the system than they put in.

Don't forget that another relevant use case is anonimized payments. Let's say you deal with weapons. A good crypto could help. Let's say you sell porn videos: in some cases, one wants to pay with crypto because they don't want their SO to find out.

Just like speculation: it's not always an ethical thing. I'm just saying it's a usecase (quite matter of factly / detached from emotion).

For me though, there's only cryptokitties <3
Damn. I like my Fitbit. I wouldn't be looking forward to having it stop working with no notice because Google decided to just shut down the servers on a random Tuesday and shutter the product line...
