Everyone seems to talk about noise cancellation as it relates to wearing them on an airplane.

Airplanes are an easy problem to solve for because the engine noise is loud and of a constant tone.

The problem I need to solve for is random noises found in the workplace like people talking, printers printing, and other inconsistent tones that’s happen throughout the day.

Has anyone found a good pair of noise cancelling headphones that work in an office environment?

That's not particularly reflected in other forms of intoxication though. A ton of people in the US drink super light beer for instance (vs hard alcohol). They also tend to avoid espresso shots in favor of shake-like products.

It would be good to have figures for trains that are up to 10 years old (rather than everything up to 40 years old or whatever), which should be more efficient, and the manufacturing energy cost for the vehicles -- I suspect the cars will fare quite badly here.

We can also take into account the cost of accidents, which we could probably assign an energy value to avoiding.
That is probably correct and within their rights to say no.

It could, but the LGPL is already a compromise on the FSF's stated goals, and I can't imagine they'd want to erode the LGPL's ability to encourage people to open source products that rely on open source software even further.

Thanks. I hoped I was posting a solution that has worked for me, based on careful, long observation and testing, for the topic at hand, like we do for any problem discussed (like the technical ones). Suggestions on how to post such carefully-tested solutions in a better way? (My guess is that some beliefs as solutions are more popular than others. Atheists post their belief too (their "solution", so to speak) but that view seems more popular right now.
So? What's the answer? The closest thing I can find is:

"Mira has a white dwarf companion, meaning that large gravitational "kicks" often aren't enough to unbind a solar system!"

Which still doesn't tell me whether a star could be ejected from the galaxy like this with its planets intact and orbiting it roughly the same way as before.

There's this sentence later in the article:

> While an interaction that happens too close to a planet could eject that as well, simulations indicate that's a rarity, and that most planets should remain intact.

But the way it's phrased, it could be read either way, with the most plausible reading for me being that the planets remain intact, but turn into rogue planets, no longer orbiting the star that's speeding away from them.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

I'm looking at your app and I love the long scroll feature. How did you do that? It's so cool how you can scroll down the page natively, and the image updates, that's really incredible.

And I'm reading the initial discussion, and it's ... in 2015! Wow, how did you do this back then! I think thing's are so much easier now with all the features in the protocol.

I am really interested in how you did this and I love the site. It's very cool and I prefer it to my own work in many ways. Would you be a terrible idea for you to contribute to BrowserGap?

About half way through development, I was travelling and buying 4G data sims and I also thought I needed to use it for that (easily use 50Mb just on a news site).

So I made a HTML only version (no images, just stripped back HTML, you can see the work in the various 'appminifier' subdirectories somewhere in the repo). It saved me data, but introduced lots of quirks. At some point I realized it was too difficult, and I was committed to another idea with it, rather than this low bandwidth, so I stopped working on that feature.

Also, I love the Open in new tab? feature you have. This really rocks. It made me so happy to see this work! Thank you so much for sharing with me. :)

I wanted to get a scrolling feature like you have and I couldn't think of a way to make it work. If yow could do that in BG I'd love it!
Clickbait headline.

That's impressive; and for me a bit reminiscent. I got my doctorate staring at macromolecular structures through various attempts at presenting them in 3d. One of the earliest I encountered was called a "Richard's Box"[0]. That setup was a set of clear plastic sheets on which were plotted 'slices' of electron density which were subsequently stacked-up with suitable sized spacers and you looked down through the stack with an lamp beneath. This approach sounds very similar, but with an active display in place of each sheet of plotter output.

Yes. Most people think of something like this image of princess Leia coming out from R2: https://edge.alluremedia.com.au/m/g/2017/01/star-wars-hologr...

That requires

1. The imagine coming "out" of the screen such that you can even see the image at 90º to the projector

2. The image occluding the physical background.

As far as I understand, such a thing is impossible as seen in the still above (i.e. from a single projector), but can be fakes by using stuff in the air to scatter the light, like this research project (1) or this not-great version that uses fog (2)

Wow, that's not at all what I'm saying. Believe me, I am STRONGLY in the camp of "these goddamn companies need to be held accountable for their tax dodging."

However, you can't change the _fact_ that what they're doing is "legal." The issue is with federal tax policy that needs to be changed.

I'm talking about the nature of calling bullshit on what companies do to their face, rather than PR firms talking to each other, and there's value in that.

Here's the spin that happens (and it's especially bad because it's just published without much challenge):

Any company that dodges taxes always say (to quote Tim Cook): "We pay every single penny of taxes we owe" – which says NOTHING about all the tax dodging these companies did to arrive at a minuscule bill of what was owed, and then, sure, they paid what they owed, correct.

But in that format, where Cook makes a speech, and then someone writes a rebuttal article 2 weeks later, nothing really gets done.

In a debate format, you can quickly say "yeah that's bullshit. You're making a semantic and laser focused argument. It's like saying you didn't kill that person by strangling them, they died because their brain stopped receiving oxygenated blood."

And there's a public record of you pushing back against this BS corporate-speak. You _can't_ do that in the normal, traditional way this is done, which is that:

1) newspaper publishes article of wrongdoing
2) PR firm publishes press release with insane amounts of spin
3) nothing changes.

Yes the facts are wrong and there is a major difference between selling the data and using it. It is like the difference between a salesman asking a bartender what type of drinks you prefer and them having a transcript of everything you ever said in the bar.
1) They aren't disputing the "$0 paid in taxes in 2018," which is the main point of the NYTimes article (an article about how companies were responding to the Tax Cuts/Jobs Act). "Billions of dollars in tax payments" is factually correct, but doesn't address the core allegation.

2) $6 billion compared to what (prior to previous years)? No point of reference here.

The response is great theater, but it is carefully worded to not refute the allegations.

Common sense is an useful tool. It helps us estimate outcomes when data is absent or scarce, even if it's frequently unreliable. When I leave my desk to go to the bathroom yet again, I expect it to be there. Can't prove it, but it's a reasonable assumption. Without it, every human action would require scientific studies and high quality measurements.

The way to contest common sense isn't to point out that common sense is often wrong; instead, it's to provide data. My assertion is that when going against a statement strongly rooted in common sense and, YOU are the one who has the burden of proof.

Yes, perhaps authoritarians would do a worse job at catching criminals if they were omniscient? I'm not saying that you ARE wrong, just that you are LIKELY wrong and thus you should provide data to support your claims.
While it is absolutely right to insist on the original license, I find it also a bit surprising they rather have their contribution removed than allowing a more liberal license.
In what way is it "misleading?" Seems like that's just repeating FedEx's unsubstantiated talking points.

500 flushes is less than a year for a toilet used twice a day (say before and after bed), I hope that coating is cheap, easy to apply, and doesn't create substantial pollution either as it is created or used.

I hope the sewer system doesn't need to just add water as a result.

Toilet water use doesn't seem like a big enough contributor to the problem that it's much use optimizing it in most places. But there are probably some where water is locally scarce and it makes sense.

What was misleading about the NYT piece?
Pros and Cons of Going from Management Back to Individual Contributor
> If this ruling passes the Supreme Court, you can't anymore in the context of software.

This is simply and totally untrue; it is nothing but uninformed panic. If you think otherwise, please point me to what makes you think that. In any event, a protocol is not a copyrightable work regardless of the result of this case, for reasons that have nothing at all to do with the discussion about the copyrightability of code APIs. Code APIs satisfy the basic necessary conditions for copyright, and there is debate over more nuanced ones. Protocols, like REST APIs, don't even satisfy the first requirement of copyright law -- they are not a work fixed in any tangible medium -- so they are completely irrelevant. Again, programs are copyrighted, algorithms are not -- even if the algorithms contain some fixed strings in them. If you don't understand that distinction, there is really no point in going further.

> I really don't understand your outright refusal to read the ruling or even the damn wiki page.

I have read pretty much everything written about this case, and the actual rulings. But understanding the basic tenets of copyright law is necessary in order to make sense of what you read.

The question of SSO is, once a work is copyrighted, is its SSO protected similarly to translation? For example, Harry Potter is copyrighted; if I copy the basic structure from Harry Potter is that an infringement? That's the subject of the discussion, which takes as a given that software is copyrighted. In the case of protocols -- like in the case of algorithms -- there is no work from the perspective of copyright law, so questions of what transformations of the work could constitute infringement are irrelevant.

I think that many people don't understand that copyright works like a two-stage process. First there needs to be a work satisfying some requirement to which copyright applies; second, once such a work exists, different kinds of deriving other works from it are determined to be infringing or not. This court case is about the second part, as it is recognized that software is a copyrighted work, and all discussions about the second step (like SSO) are under the assumption that the first step is OK. Protocols and algorithms don't even pass the first step, so any discusssion about the second does not concern them.

I have tried quite a few different as I value th sound quality as high as the noise cancelling.

I originally had Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2. They had amazing sound, connected quickly and quite good battery life. They were however not that comfortable for long durations as the headband lacks padding.

I then bought B&O H9 which was almost as good sound quality wise but a lot more comfortable. They however ended up having problems with bluetooth and I had to switch them.

Both Sony MX3 and Bose QC35 have a way too synthetic sound to them for my taste. I then tried the third gen H9 but they did not sound as good as my old ones for some reason. I then tried the new Sennheiser Momentum 3 which sounded quite good, with really good deep bass, but it lacked some control at places and was just a very large headset.

Then finally B&W came out with the PX7 recently and once I tried those I just had to have them. Their sound is almost bar none - at least to my taste, and their noise cancelling is exceptional on par with MX3 to my ears and finally they have extremely long battery life.

So 4 weeks in or something like that, I am really loving my PX7's and would recommend giving them a listen.
