Ugh in my current open office the team next to me has entered a machismo fueled arms race for who can find the loudest clacky keyboard possible... even with the biggest and baddest noise cancelling cans I could find twelve hours of my day are just clack clack clack, I’m going slowly insane!
To clarify, the paper studied "air quality in the vicinity of Wall Street".
Audio frequencies are a much more limited band than RF and it can be intuitive to look at a simple hardware consideration.

Such as your speaker's voice coil, which is a fairly low-resistance length of thin copper wire commonly wrapped around a hollow paper core an inch or two in diameter and enameled in place. The paper form is cemented to the center of the suspended speaker cone, with the coil itself free to move back & forth within the matched gap of the speaker magnet.

When the audio signal (which is a series of waves, therefore an AC voltage) comes in on the wires, the coil moves the cone in response to the signal.

DC voltage is not allowed to pass to this kind of speaker since DC would just displace the cone in a single direction for the duration of DC voltage application.

But when you measure the resistance in Ohms of an individual _8-Ohm_ speaker, it is always less than 8 Ohms, sometimes between 6 & 7 Ohms because regular Ohmmeters are measuring DC resistance using a DC battery inside the Ohmmeter as a reference.

The DC resistance of the coil is no different than it would be if the whole coil was unwound, it basically depends on the length of the wire and the diameter of the wire, similar to the way precision wirewound resistors are available for lower Ohm service. Thinner wire and longer wire has higher resistance to current flow.

But when audio is passing through the coil alone in free air, IOW no magnetic or ferritic core is present, there will be slight additional resistance to the audio AC (over and above the fundamental DC resistance measurable with the regular Ohmmeter), simply because of the wire being shaped into a coil. This total working resistance to AC is what is referred to as impedance. When a ferritic or magnetic core is in place, there will be that much more of a challenge for the audio signal since it needs to then reverse polarity against the inertia of the magnetic material at whatever frequency it happens to be operating at. This magnetic bump in AC resistance is significant and causes a nominal 6-Ohm-resistance speaker to operate as a characteristic 8-Ohm-impedance audio load.

Speakers do work really well with much higher than 8-Ohm voice coils, provided a matching amplifier is available. Practically this is not done since the speaker wires from the power amplifier to the speakers in a high-power system would then be required to carry audio AC voltages as dangerously high as the line voltage coming in to the amplifier.

So using the everyday low-impedance speakers we are stuck with, a slightly poor connection having an extra 1-Ohm of unwanted resistance, due to corrosion for instance, will result in that connection dissipating a significant percentage of the power passing through it, as heat, in many cases accelerating a corrosive source of power loss.
I think the argument is that the difference between `noun.verb(state)` and `verb(noun, state)` is only semantic. The former is just syntactic sugar for the latter under the hood (or not. Look at python). The dependencies are the same.

The money isn't being kept there for safety, it's being kept there for anonymity and easy access. These countries don't ask any questions when you show up and ask to withdraw a million dollars. Maybe you're withdrawing that money to buy a yacht, maybe you're withdrawing it to buy drugs, maybe you're withdrawing it to pay for a seat on Epstein Air. Banks in developed countries ask questions, these banks in these countries ask 0 questions.
You'd think it's the small island and countries managing those bank, but it's not. The banks are from the rich and for the rich, the country is just a ruse.
yikes. It doesn't support the security feature of logging everyone out of the account? So if a someone gets access to your account they're in for good.

It is indeed odd to single out a particular company for paying zero in tax (fedex in this case) as the result of a temporary tax reform bill which it seems the newspaper also took part in.

While perhaps the NYT's story was 'correct', it neglected to point out that other companies also took advantage of this fact and that indeed this was the purpose of the tax reform. Instead, it sounds like the NYT made Fedex into some kind of bogeyman attempting to avoid taxes, instead of telling the full story, which is that, by American government policy, the government of the United States of America decided to offer businesses a way to significantly reduce their federal tax bill by investing their money into capital assets.

This is a much less sinister sounding headline, which is likely why the NYT neglected to publish it.

It's like if the government passed a bill to reward families that have children in the next five years with 10k USD each, and, instead of reporting on this bill in general, the new york times decided to only report on why bob and sally had four kids in those five years to milk the government of money. It's dishonest reporting, which is unsurprising coming from the new york times.

>why countries are letting those small, insignificant islands and countries manage all this wealth

Enlightened self interest. Those "insignificant" islands are generally speaking countries. By showing respect for the rule of law even in situations where they could easily overwhelm with force or economic power smaller nations, the larger ones reinforce that the law matters.

The larger countries use as a defense the idea that something is an "internal matter", IE it's no one else's business. If they bully their way into other smaller countries' business, then they open themselves up to the same interference.

Might does not make one right. Law does.

> but it's as if Google snatched the newspaper and stuck advertising stickers all over it just before you read it in the morning.

Google gives free reading glasses that allows you to read the newspaper. The problem is that they only work for the newspapers they like and the newspapers they like happen to have advertising stickers all over it.

Purportedly unrelated to that they have also told all the newspaper sellers to take a note of when and where you buy your newspaper, but they assure you that is completely unrelated to the advertising side of things.

Before now there was no conflict for the the term free software. When it accomplished the same goal for everyone many people just didn't care about a precise meaning. It was "free enough" for all views to fit in the same tent.

Large corporations are now stepping the unwritten meaning held by one portion who were previously satisfied with the overall outcome. Before, these people didn't care who owned the term as long as the goal was achieved. Now that the situation has changed these people want the phrase to mean what they always believed it meant. Even though you might not have been aware this difference even existed.

The meanings of words change with the progress of humanity. Nobody gets to hold on to a word like free just because they're comfortable with its current usage.
That's a good point, though we may be dealing with small amounts regardless. For instance, I read that for one study of tobacco lung cancer, a "moderate" smoker starts at 10 cigarettes a day. (woah). So let's say someone smokes 10 cigarettes a day, every day, and let's say a single cigarette takes 10 moderate drags (I'm getting this by googling and using the first reddit thread I find, I don't smoke).

Ok, so 103010 = 3000 drags a month for a light/moderate smoker.

Now, imagine a casual (2x a month) cannabis user who actually smokes most of a smallish preroll, 6 drags (though they may be deeper). So we're looking 12 drags a month vs 3000.

I have no idea if the extra 8-10 drags from weaker cannabis make a difference vs 1-2 on something stronger, but we're talking about an extremely low dose, either way, compared to any kind of cigarette smoking, maybe low enough that the difference isn't measurable.
>Yes, you can use noise cancelling headphones but:
>2. They don't really block all the noise and you live in anxiety waiting for that one blaring ringtone to squeeze through

NC headphones aren't designed to block all noise, only repetitive noise, basically white noise. Other noises, like ringtones, actually are louder or easier to hear on many models of NC headphones, as is speech around you. Noise-cancellation's purpose is to attenuate white noise, such as the drone of your office A/C, or your airplane's engines. It's not meant to block anything else, and if your headphones do, it's because they're also acoustically isolating (e.g., they have bin "cans" over your ears physically blocking noise, but that has nothing to do with NC).

I'm not sure of the details, but the Caymans have a reciprocal reporting arrangement with US tax authorities and financial regulators. That is, if you're an American, you can't really hide money there. What you can do is operate a subsidiary there (and it must have resident employees) that generates reasonable revenues with minimal costs, thus shifting revenue and profits to the Caymans low tax jurisdiction. Which will be reported to the US gov, so you better be complying with the letter of both US and Caymans law. Because of these reporting agreements, if there is activity in the Caymans that is illegal in a person's/company's homeland, it will likely be european or chinese, not the US.
Explanation, from Reddit:

> Pokémon sends a network discovery packet to each device on port 26037. Roku also listen on that port for LAN based updates so that multiple devices on the same network can update each other. It was an obvious decision. Saved Roku around a quarter million dollars in CDN traffic costs. Roku is popular in the commercial space where it’s often used as a media source to control sometimes 100s of TVs on the same network. It just so happens that Pokémon’s network discovery packet shares the exact same bytes as Roku’s signed bytecode to reboot.

> Google and most of the other major tech companies don't actually sell user data

This is not correct. Google and Facebook may not sell PII directly to third party but most lower/medium size tech companies do sell PII to third party (insurers, credit co, erc) and most of them even say it explicitly on TOS or privacy policy.

Now, because it's written deep down inside some TOS doesn't mean users are fully informed and people certainly are not making truly informed decisions.

Now, the fact is: people do not understand whats going in and tech companies are abusing this.

And the question is: are we OK with that?
Per the article, that can't be true because you need to compare a loss with a gain. When you insure yourself you are merely sharing the inevitable loss with other people so that you don't get it in one big lump.
At One Laptop Per Child we found an issue where the mesh networking wifi packets crashed (actually caused a packet storm) Linksys routers, so just bringing an OLPC laptop somewhere would DoS wifi there. This kind of bug where one device's packets cause another device that it was never tested against to fail is not that uncommon.

Of course, it's funny that a specific game is involved here. Perhaps there are other Switch games that do it too?

This is no longer true. Most younger people in engineering/CS fields are the "communicator" type and like to work in noisy, open-office environments, and frequently side-by-side.

No idea about Netflix, but for Amazon I bet there’s less account sharing than the other two - because it’s your actual Amazon account. My Netflix account is the only one that doesn’t have a very complex password manager password, because I share it with family. I won’t share my amazon account because I won’t give it that sort of password. I guess Disney+ is much closer to Netflix on that scale.
Common Lisp traditionally favors other forms of interoperability: with Assembler, C, C++, Objective-C, UNIX/POSIX, etc... For example one prefers to directly call old-fashioned GTK+, Cocoa or Windows - instead of calling via a Java UI layer or a Javascript library. Common Lisp has interoperability with the JVM in various forms (from FFIs to ABCL, a Common Lisp on JVM implementation), but it's not a popular choice.

There are several CL implementations with deep C integration, for example by compilation to C. CLASP has deep C++ and LLVM integration. Some implementation can create shared libraries which are being loaded from other programs.

CLASP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X69_42Mj-g

It's possible to bring Common Lisp on top of runtimes like the JVM or Javascript - but there is some larger mismatch, because Common Lisp (different from Clojure) a platform independent full programming language. For example Common Lisp specifies a numeric tower with bignums, some float types, complex numbers and rational numbers. JavaScript internally does only offer floats. Common Lisp also specifies its own object system, which does not map well on top of the JVM (single inheritance, non-dynamic) or JavaScript.
The default shell (what "adduser" offers as the default login shell) in FreeBSD is sh (/bin/sh). The root's shell is /bin/csh given FreeBSD's BSD roots. Though pfsense may have changed its defaults compared to a stock FreeBSD release.

> What Amazon should be doing is letting you cancel an Amazon account if you know what credit card information it's using, like the author of this blog tried to do.

As you note, this has a flaw:

> The flaw is if your credit card info is leaked and someone cancels your Amazon account. But I see that as vastly superior to just having a random unauthorized Amazon account somewhere out there with your leaked credit card info in it making unauthorized purchases.

I don't see why it needs to be all or nothing. Just remove that credit card from the account, and block it from being added back. That lets you stop someone who has your card on their account, without opening you up to having your Amazon account canceled if someone gets your leaked info and wants to be a jerk.
The trick is balancing account privacy with fraud prevention. Without being the account owner or having any real relationship with Amazon OP has a hard task of proving who they are and generally you wouldn't want Amazon sharing any account information with non account owners.

I think the real solution would be for them to just provide an auth mechanism for people to prove they are the CC owner so they can remove the payment method from any accounts and not give out any info on the name or email on the account. I've seen a few things that use a small charge that gets refunded and you enter it back in the app as a 2FA.
I've never particularly minded general office noises of the kind that can be cancelled out easily, but what gets me is when coworkers start to become stressed and physically vent this in a way that makes noise - particularly when I can hear a mouse click getting louder and more violent, echoing off every surface in the office. Somehow my brain interprets this as an attack (evoking a fight-or-flight response that others have mentioned here) even though I highly doubt it's conscious at all on their part.

The other type of noise that really affects my ability to concentrate is loud whistling that people will sometimes do as they walk down the halls, again reflecting off all the surfaces in the office, which my brain seems to involuntarily interpret as "Hey! Hey! Hey, hey look! Hey!" and constantly resets my focus as though someone had just tapped me on the shoulder every few seconds.

When I'm not trying to concentrate hard on something I tend not to be bothered by even these noises - but when working it can feel almost like being physically harassed. I suppose this is a form of misophonia, but it is extremely context-dependent and at other times I enjoy the diversity of sounds (including the whistling).
