I have the HD 4.50 BTNC and they are very good.

I compared them vs the QC35 I believe, and I loved that the noise cancelling in the Senn's were very good but also the audio quality was much better.

The QC35's had a pretty good sound, but it just lacked the "clarity" of the HD's.

The QC35s were a bit more comfortable and lightweight though, but since my primary use was the office I wasn't planning on putting on the headphones for more than 2 hours straight.

I have used the HDs for long flights and I do have to take them off after some time due to the weight and headphone cushion material.

They were also cheaper than the QC35s at the time, so all in all, for ny particular use case the HDs were fantastic. Also the battery is pretty good, especially if you use the audio cable + noise cancelling. I get several days of use that way.

Now that you bring it up, I can see how one could identify a person based on that data. We're able to identify users based on things like browser extensions; I see how the concepts map.

The only reason I have to favor this sort of data sharing is that I have a (perhaps naive) hope that it would aid diagnoses and treatment.

Could you explain a bit more? Why are you confident either would be profitable?

1) would be competing with google drive, onedrive and icloud, which are all funded by very big pockets and have other revenue sources. Furthermore, even dropbox has trouble competing with this.

2) Again competition by paypal, apple pay, google pay, ... . Also, banking business is quite far removed from what they are doing and hard to do while being a non-profit.
"Quick" being relative to your expectations, of course.

If OP is right, and it moves six times faster than the sun, then it would go from one side of the sky to the other in just three nights, right? That's extremely fast for any star gazer. Faster than any planet we can see. Someone who was familiar with the night sky and who could see this star would notice its speed quickly.
The story is inconsistent - we have tax policy to encourage innovation and investment, the new york times supports this style of policy. They call out people who actually then take the government up on the incentives.

The critique of the tax cut also didn't make a lot of sense.

It's just a poor story - it's unclear what it's objective is.
I still can't figure it out. Why do people still use auto-generated Getters and Setters instead of just making the field public? What is the advantage of using Beans these days? I've never run into a situation where I wanted my getter/setter to do something other than return/set the value.

This statement is a farce. They claim the story is factually incorrect, but provide no corrections. They point out the NYT does the same thing, but that does not contradict anything in the NYT article, and has no bearing on what they did. Finally, they yell "debate me!" but rather than proposing a debate on the facts in dispute, instead want to debate federal tax policy which neither controls.

That they didn't do that makes me wonder.
I am currently playing Outer Worlds (~15 hours in) and it's a huge improvement over say Fallout 4 but I think that Atom RPG scratches that Fallout 1 & 2 itch much much more closer.

Outer Worlds is well written and funny space romp with rather little roleplaying (you have seemingly tons of options, but often the results only affect the next dialog line and the game is so easy that the player quite often can pass any skill test) while Atom RPG is dark, hard and bleak post-apocalyptic role playing game where almost any situation can play out in so many different ways depending on your skills and luck. Atom RPG is Fallout 1&2 worship to its core, with all of the flaws of the original 2 included.

I am not saying that Outer Worlds is objectively a worse or better game, it's just different.
Total especutlation mode about the origin of this disaster: Venezuela is suffering oil export sanctions. When that kind of sanction happens it's not uncommon to transport oil in ships with "rented" flags or no flags to ports of close countries, so the oil is incorporated to that country's production and can be sold.

It is a tiny quantity, but generate some money to some people. As everything clandestine, this transportation doesn't care much about safety and environmental precautions.

It is tough investigation to make, so maybe we will end only with those especutlations
Kubernetes is pretty feature complete, but its focus is on containers, not naked apps. If you are willing to pack your apps into docker, kubernetes will solve the orchestration and monitoring problems. If you are not, you might want to look for something else. In particular, take a look at Nomad (https://www.nomadproject.io/). I am not affiliated with the project in any way and at my workplace we went the kube route, but Nomad does provide an ability to orchestrate arbitrary processes across multiple hosts.
Besides the call for a debate (which frankly, I don't think will amount to anything worthwhile), isn't this exercise just "whataboutism"?
Well only if an explanation about how these companies arrive at these low tax payments. It is one thing to say "You did it too" but the public cannot be properly served unless we have a factual discussion of why their tax payments are this low and the benefits to both the company and public at large are shown.

eighty thousand plus pages of tax laws aren't meant to be simply to understand nor do the outcomes always make sense. the NYT would better serve the public showing just how abusive the tax law is because it mostly it is a political tool for calling in favors and punishing those who don't play ball besides being a revenue tool.

Ask HN: Is Angular Dead Yet?
There's nothing less genuine than flat out claiming a claim is not factual without providing proof or even pointing out specifics. It's clear Fedex is deflecting here. Nothing more.
This is stupid. The NY Times, as a business, wasn't a subject of the article.

It's not a competition between a media company and a shipping company. It's a piece of journalism.

Either that journalism is accurate or it isn't. If it's wrong they should issue a correction, or review how it could be misleading or slanted and offer an alternate perspective. If it's correct they should stand by it.

In no event does the writing of a journalist, edited by an editor, have anything to do with the NY Times company as a business institution.

To claim otherwise is to buy into a frame that makes literally no sense here. I see why Fedex is doing it, it's apparently effective, even with the analytically sophisticated HN crowd. But this response is nonsense, it's almost a complete non-sequitur.

If I were the writer or editor of the story I'd tell Fedex to get bent. And if I were the publisher I'd patiently explain, yet again, the concept of independent journalism.
Wow, let's get more debates between various institutions, not sure why we don't have more to begin with.

For instance, why is it that the Democratic and GOP primaries never crossed paths? Shouldn't they have organized some R vs D debates before the final two candidates? Or what about FCC vs net neutrality advocates? Kaepernick vs Police Chief? I can think of lots of interesting pairings that will sadly never happen.
Lower-level meaning closer to the metal. Higher level would be further from the hardware, more abstracted. And in this context, it's more about the relativity to each other.

I wouldn't suggest that a given language favors more or less skilled programmers. There are plenty of skilled programmers that will choose a given language simply for the time to get things done. Not every problem needs absolute performance and memory scarcity, in fact I would suggest that most don't.

I've used some very low level languages as well as a bit of assembly in the past. All the same, JavaScript is the language I enjoy the most, simply because I can get things done in flexible ways, with many modules already written. There are times where you want absolute performance with minimal memory (embedded systems in particular, though even they're getting pretty powerful) and there are others where you can duct tape something together that only needs to run a couple times a day.

I've seen front end developers that couldn't handle conceptualizing SQL-style data storage... Likewise, I've seen backend developers unable to deal with breaking apart UI components or dealing with event based workflows or managing state outside a database context. I've seen systems developers create the most byzantine, overly complex and buggy systems you can imagine, that don't even work half the time. On the flip side, I've seen aircraft systems designed and built almost entirely in hardware... now some of that is truly impressive (and took years to design and develop, compared to weeks/months many developers will get).

Closer to when I was starting out, it was Visual Basic that was considered the proverbial whipping boy of "beginner" or "less skilled" languages. I've seen very good, and very bad implementations of a great many things in a great many languages over the past few decades. I'd say some of the worst of the worst code I've dealt with has come from the most arrogant people I've worked with. Generally, you aren't as smart or clever as you think you are. And I mean "you" in the colloquial sense. In the end, all anyone (or at least most people/users) really care about is it does the job, and is relatively easy to use.

Same thing. It's just that neither ARM nor any of its architecture licensees have yet designed a server CPU which, for lack of a better term, is cloud worthy or this opportunity wouldn't exist. They're certainly phone worthy and car worthy. But if you look at the big XEON chip specs, that's what NUVIA has to match and then Intel+AMD will also keep moving the line markers along.

NUVIA can't do everything and be everything because they're a startup. They have to make choices. I'm incapable of thinking they'd choose anything but ARMv8. Transmeta learned that x86 is really hard and then you get to compete with Intel. RISC-V is incomplete and I haven't heard much from Esperanto of late.

So I think they're going to build a cloud worthy ARMv8 chip. There's a lot of historical ballast to be shed in just getting rid of x86. Indeed, I think that is both their market opportunity and their market risk.

I don't think the world revolves around Spectre, Meltdown and MDS but designing a microarchitecture that makes them impossible would be gain a lot of market good will.

But at the end of the day, they have outperform Intel.
But how would you know? You could be a healthy 74-year old and think, "well now is the time, before I go down hill". But you could be cutting off 10 or even 20 years of life in decent health.

Or you could wait until you start to get sick, but how would you know it's not just short-term? You could have a case of pneumonia but recover in a month, and again go on for another 10 years. I've seen a fair number of elderly be sick for most of a year and still come out of it: A relative recently passed at 94, but around 86 she had some serious health issues, and her fate was very uncertain. But she beat them, and had another 8 years where she took great joy in seeing multiple great-grand nieces & nephews born, swim in her pool, listen to her read them stories, etc. They were some of her happiest times, but would have never happened if she'd been trying to beat the 18-month decline.
Am I correct in assuming this is a parallax-barrier display similar to that on the Nintendo 3DS but much larger and higher-resolution?
For smaller pipes, we use horizontal directional drilling machines. They are very common:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_boring

You've probably seen them on the side of the road, looks something like a big skid steer with a stack of pipes on the side. It's much more practical to put a person running a piece of construction equipment on the surface than trying to miniaturize and automate a TBM.

To use the equipment, a mini-excavator digs two small holes for the entrance and exit 20 to 200 yards apart, the HDD rig is rolled up, and a 10 foot length of 2" pilot boring drill rod is pushed in. The HDD rig connects this to the next pipe in the stack, and is able to rotate (with extreme torque), push (with limited force), pull (with extreme force), and pump fluid through the drill rod. A locator walks around with a receiver that can measure the position of the tip of the drill underground. On smaller installations, the tip of the pilot drill is slanted, and to go "straight" you need to continuously rotate the drill, or you can bias your pushing and turning to move with the slanted tip aimed in one direction and go up, down, or sideways. Bigger ones have downhole motors and steering tools that can use hydraulic pressure from the mud being pumped through the pipe to cut harder soils or go farther with less friction.

When your pipe is pushed through and comes out the exit hole, you attach a back-reamer to the drill head, and pull it backwards to enlarge the hole (pulling additional drill rod, installed at the exit pit, behind it). Finally, attach the conduit, fiber, water or gas pipe, or whatever you're installing and pull it all through. Then you make your exit hole an entrance hole, fill in the original, and install a junction box to connect the two segments.

It's simple, cheap, effective, and proven technology for utility-level scale - there's probably one of these working somewhere within 10 miles of you right now. Unfortunately, it doesn't scale up to TBM size.

> a lot of tbm's are special machines that ONLY work for the specific tunnel/project,

Yes, a lot, but not all:

> In December, the TTC bought a banner ad on the Tunnels & Tunneling International website, to list for sale four tunnel-boring machines it used to dig the 13.5-kilometre twin tunnels for the Spadina subway extension to York Region. The TTC had bought the machines in 2009 from Lovat for $58-million. Today the TTC has stored the machines at the Keele Valley landfill site. The machines are nearly good as new, the TTC says. “The TBMs are generally considered to have a useful life of tunneling of approximately 20 kilometres,” reads a TTC tender document. “At the completion of this project, they would have been used between 2.5 and 3.2 kilometres, or approximately 10-15% of their useful life. Accordingly, the TBMs will be capable of significant additional tunneling on other projects.”

I think it's a great statement. They aren't disputing the facts. Fedex is disputing that cutting taxes is a bad thing and is saying lets talk about it.

EDIT: and as you pointed out Fedex is just following fed tax policy that it doesn't control.
Out of curiosity, I looked for their policies on misinformation.

I could see some potential risks here but it still seems reasonable to me:

> Debunked or unsubstantiated conspiracy theories

This part, I imagine, is a bit more controversial:

From the NYTimes article:

> In the 2017 fiscal year, FedEx owed more than $1.5 billion in taxes. The next year, it owed nothing.

> Its financial filings show it owed no taxes in the 2018 fiscal year overall. Company officials said FedEx paid $2 billion in total federal income taxes over the past 10 years.

So in the last 10 years FedEx paid $2B in taxes, of which $1.5B was paid in 2017. That seems really weird. Does anyone know enough about their financials to explain how this happened?
I'm a co-founder of https://termscout.com and our TermAlerts service does exactly what you are looking for.

We have attorneys on staff and looked into other tools, but understand that about half of the contracts that live on the web are not webpages, but versioned PDFs and could not find anyone that can catch when that occurs, so we built it ourselves.

When a change occurs we email a redline (diff) and in the process of working on a dashboard that you can see not only the version of the contract when you submitted it and the new one, but overtime be able to scroll through all previous versions of that contract too...very much inspired by Google Maps Street View timeline tool. :)
