Wow, you're prompting as little as I ever knew about the book "The I inside" by Allan Dean Foster of an artificial intelligence named Colligatarch mostly capable of, let's say, aggregation far beyond what Cambridge Analytica was capable of. It ends up leading to a high level detection of a very miniscule (an individual on a global scale) intrusion, but that's beside the point.

World peace, if achieved, has nothing to do with the eradication of free will. This is exemplified by Colligatarch's recipe for success in the book. It is not conquering the world step by step in any way, but it accurately enough predicts patterns on what the future will bring, and if the various people adhere, they automatically learn to fare better to follow these action plans. If you'd imagine the beginning of this kind of world-spanning awareness as described would start out very messy, at this point it's safe to assume that we might even be past that initial mess - which came into being through the two world wars at the beginning of the 20th century.

If Apple can make the same leap from iPod to iPhone with these earbuds we are going to see a sweat new product range.

Jim Collins talked about his conversations with Steve Jobs at the end of the Knowledge project podcasts. He started talking to Steve after Steve got fired from Apple.
Just doing a quick web search and the company made $224 billion dollars in 2018. Do you honestly think they aren't achieving optimal sales? The proof is in the pudding and they have a very very large pudding.

> It's okay to be completely full of shit, just don't market it as truth.

I know you think you are being big brained but not everything is "you must provide a citation". It is pretty obvious Apple knows the market well, knows exactly what they can and can't charge for certain products. You pretending otherwise because I haven't provided you with a citation is a complete joke, it is like asking someone to cite for evidence that the sky is blue.
True for me as well, but more importantly, the horrible audio quality literally causes me pain. Something to do with the poor frequency eq curve and limited range, I'm guessing.

(Plus, phones that leak audio seem rude in public places.)
Getaround's Next Chapter
Easiest way is to download their IDE (or use the web version) and code in C/C++.

32-bit ones also support Micropython and I think there have been ports of Node.js, but I haven't looked into those.

1) always-on, sunlight-visible screen
2) week-long (plus) battery life
3) good, simple notification + calendar support
4) ecosystem of apps (developer mindshare)

Heart Rate, Sleep Tracking, Mic/Phone, Payments are all wonderful, but the drawbacks of "machine-learning-shake-to-wake", one-day battery life, and trying to fiddle with a tiny touch screen make the Apple watch less of a watch and more of "everything but a watch".

Long Live Pebble / Rest in Peace.
> didn't bring out a walkman phone

They actually did, the Sony Ericsson W800. But if you didn't know about that, it kinda proves your point, the branding wasn't a resounding success.
I strongly disagree about the fashion bit.

The iPod was better than any competitor it faced ever. The UI with the click wheel was completely unmatched. Maybe the Zune, years later, came close, but Apple absolutely crushed it with the iPhone and iPod touch.

The iPhone was leaps and bounds ahead of its time, to the point that the then King of the hill, BlackBerry, didn’t even think it was possible. And the smoothness of the UI was completely unmatched. The pocketPCs of the time were clunky messes. The iPhone’s UI was so far ahead that it’s now the default UI for every phone.

And finally, the AirPods are a far superior experience than the alternatives. In addition though, the AirPods are extremely competitively priced.
My AirPods, specifically the left one, cuts out after 5-10 minutes every time. Having purchased my AirPods mid-2017, I was pretty disappointed when I went to the Apple store and they said there was nothing they could do about it and I would have to buy a new pair.

Needless to say, I said no thanks. I'm about ready to throw these away and I'll probably buy a pair of Sony headphones this time.

> I watched an hour of CNN every night but it was never that night's coverage. It was from exactly two weeks ago.

This is an amazing thought experiment. I wonder if using this method, but extrapolating to multiple competing news sources could get remove bias both in recency as well as consistency.
I've noticed a lot of people wearing just one, my kids included. They explained to me that by alternating earbuds they can wear them almost continually.
They have such economies of scale now, and such vertical integration that they can sell you things like speakers for free as long as it has voice integration and sucks up all of your data.

The only reason they don't sell a TV for $200 is they already get all that data from the current TV providers. Chromebooks at $99? Sure, why not.

And eventually nobody can compete. Users must be in google, or amazons ecosystem or be super rich to avoid it. Companies must hope that google or amazon never move into their space because they can be obliterated. This is a "kinder" version of what microsoft got anti-trusted for in the 90s.

I don't believe that's accurate. The 737 Max failed re-certification multiple times with additional fixes being needed (the most recent of which was in the last week[0], with the wire harness issue).

You can use Visual Studio/VS Code with plugins like (free) VisualMicros or (paid) VisualGDB to build Arduino C++ in a much better environment.
Well, that's a relief.
The fix means MCAS doesn't activate unless two sensors roughly agree, and it only activates once, which means that the plane is still controllable with just the yoke after MCAS activation. MCAS will also deactivate if the yoke is pulled back (questionable IMO, since it is supposed to compensate for mishandling), and you can leave the electric trim on and undo what MCAS did without fear of it activating again.

IMO the risk of a mistaken activation that leads to an accident is extremely remote with these changes.
I feel like Tivo went down a very similar path. Create a beloved product and then murder it with anti-consumer software updates.
The only way I could see that working is if they had a built-in cellular modem and the data usage was covered under your existing subscription. Just a direct-to-internet Spotify hose. Even then it would be a tough sell; single-purpose hardware rarely does well in a multi-purpose world.
Click the "Who's Hiring?" threads on this site. There are tons of 100% remote jobs with great benefits that pay 150k a year or more

150k in the Midwest won't let you save as much per year (in a combination of savings and home equity) as 300k in Silicon Valley, but it's pretty close

That said, I'd be for a strong code monkeys union even though it'd probably screw me personally. The system we have is great for people who know their own worth and can advocate for themselves, but most people just aren't like that
Thought provoking. To paraphrase to ensure I understand correctly, the meaning is the significance of the rule being another result of debate or decree, either of which prod the community to face in the same direction. Whether or not it appears to make sense is somewhat secondary to preserving and strengthening the coherence of the community (c.f. Papal decree and infallibility)?

As an atheist of Protestant heritage I've wondered on the secret sauce of religion that brings the obviously stronger sense of community, as it appears to run deeper than faith, and whether there are ways to achieve that in a secular context. Perhaps particularly difficult in an era when individual choice and consumerism is promoted as paramount. :)

Stating that overtone singing is not artistic is all you the information you need to infer where they come from. It shows a complete misunderstanding of where the technique comes from and the culture it belongs to. It's asinine to be annoyed that it isn't enjoyable.
Just the other day some firefighters had to cancel a water drop because some moron was flying a drone over the fire. Because of that the fire spread more than it had to.

So yes, there is real danger even with small unmanned drones.
Until I read cwkoss' comment right now I had always assumed someone came to the pizza joint and started firing rounds at people. I admit I'm not American so I never cared enough to look up what "opened fire" meant here, but I think it's evident what people will think of when they read that expression. Hint: not someone shooting a closet's lock once to open it.
Is there a guide for what type of projects FAANG expect for L5+? There was just a thread here about a guy slacking for multiple years, so are their L5s even working on complex projects themselves?

An individual might be trying to get into a FAANG in order to get experience with technically complex projects of a certain scope. A lot of roles out here at non tech or smaller firms are just building and maintaining simple CRUD interfaces. The business domain may be complicated but the tech execution is probably not.
I thought the algo gauntlet was a equalizer where exceptional coders could clear the bar regardless of education or work history.

Few directly to market. How they’ve changed the industry is by empowering non-EEs to prototype products that they can then take to engineers to DFM. I know of, or have built, countless products that started as Arduino prototypes, even if it was just to mock up the user experience.
They already do as their equity comp loses value. And the management can, by taking smaller salaries.
Does this mean you can't wear in-ear monitor type things, e.g. memory foam tipped earbuds that stay in (I thought) through pressure in the ear canal?
Apple had DRM on iTunes with FairPlay and AAC for around six years until the courts forced them to remove it. iTunes was still a huge business for them at the time. Sure that DRM was the real issue?

Likewise, claiming that the Root Kit business (by which time the iPod had been around for a good 5 years) sunk Sony’s business seems like a bit of a reach.
I'm a big fan of https://www.memeorandum.com/ but I saw a story on there that "almost 200 people had been arrested for setting fires" ... only to find Alex Jones was one of the sources. Crikey.

My intuition tells me you're right.

My intuition also tells me that a big part of the reason people are so focused on it is that it gives them a reason to hate on their out-group. The reason I feel this is because when you encounter someone engaging in "group <x> is bad because <y>" type of behavior, and you ask them how they know(!) that <y> is true, they rarely have an answer, and they get even angrier.
You’re not alone, I have trouble keeping earbuds in also. If I keep my head still, they will slowly slip out after about a half hour. Doing any sort of exercise will make them fall out. I have tried many different tip types and sizes for these and other earbuds/IEMs. Outside of expensive custom-fit IEMs, I’m not sure what to do besides resort back to over-ear headphones.
Disposable plastic is not an infinite resource, and its cost to the environment is not priced in the item. What is the problem with a good faith effort to reduce consumption?

Nicotine is addictive, last I checked a carcinogen in its own right (even if better for you than other cigarette additives), and there are reports that an entire generation is starting life addicted to it more than any previous generation. So if I think that's concerning, I am just trying to signal my virtue?

Can't be that I came to be concerned about either case for good reasons.

What I see a lot of on the internet lately is that people become unable to argue points like this and pull out the "virtue signalling" label when backed into a corner. Or like you I guess, you decide to mock "virtue signalling" without understanding how a person comes to these opinions in good faith.

> Ancient arrows didn't have fletching: no spin, no accuracy.

I couldn't find any mention of when spin was added. But I would think it pretty darned hard to align the feathers so precisely that it wouldn't spin anyway. Bird feathers aren't straight, either.

Arrows date back 64,000 years (wikipedia). A long time before the Romans.

Equipping 10,000 soldiers with any sort of kit will be a major undertaking.

Most any bird feathers can be used for arrows. Not just goose.

Leagues finally cash in on sports betting by selling data
Here's the problem I have with google or the big platforms and why the "user value" I think is overwrought:

They've pushed everyone else that could compete out, because they've achieved such economies of scale and vertical integration that they can afford to build many products AT A LOSS, because only at their scale can one actually make money on the product.

A $50 google home speaker, or amazon alexa should be $200. They're selling it to you basically at cost so they can get your data. Similarly storing all those youtube videos - it costs them money. This deal isn't free for the consumer, its a tradeoff that you HAVE to use them, the company store.
Unions can and have brought worker benefits, but I don’t want them in my (Software dev) job. Or at least I don’t want to have to be part of an union.

My experience is obviously a small sample size but both times I worked at a place with an Union the experience has been terrible. Seniority based promotions, the general lack of ownership and accountability and massive bureaucracy killed any motivation for me.

I enjoy my job, I think I’m fairly treated and am well compensated. And this has been true every non union job I’ve been at. I just don’t see the value of an union for me.
Yeah if you drive in a busy city. But if you build a car on your farmland and want to have fun, do whatever you want. And in most states, if its private property, that is perfectly legal.

Likewise, if I am flying a drone in middle-of-nowhere Michigan on my own property, why should the FAA care what I am doing?

The problem with the FAA rules is that it is a poorly thought out blanket statement. If you are flying around downtown LA, yes, you should have a license because you are putting people's lives at danger with a "vehicle".

They don't make sense to me on private property, and I think that they should be different depending on city limits.

If we get into some of the autonomous aspects that both cars and drones have, I think we run into some other gray areas where a blanket policy doesn't fit.
AirPods don't have a single competitor. There's no clear alternative on the market.

Sure, for someone who is in Java day in and day out and who deal with concurrent java all the time these might be very straightforward tools with clear separation of goals and intent. In my personal experience there are always easy to introduce bugs with Java's concurrency, and every time I have to do something concurrent in Java I reach for my notes first trying to refresh my memory on what's what, which I don't need to do with golang.

I remember reading a Quora question about why New Yorkers hate Donald Trump[0], and one of the comments resonated with me when it described him as a thuggish hustler who doesn't know he's a thuggish hustler, the kind of guy who would "drop a ceiling in the Sistene Chapel."

You can't make any claims about the integrity of the American military when it's being run by someone without integrity. If the Library of Alexandria existed today, Trump as Commander in Chief would probably have it burned to the ground just to spite academia.

That won't open doors. Neither party will trust her. Republicans think she is a democrat, and democrats would blacklist anybody who worked for Trump. She had plenty of doors open already, not that she needed them. She had her fashion brand, and she married into the finance industry. She doesn't need any nepotism.

The president needs people he can trust. If that means hiring family, I'm fine with that. Other politicians seem to have their kids work for Ukrainian gas companies, which is a lot more disturbing.

Wealth involving real estate is difficult to estimate, but typical estimates are several billion. For example, a drop from 4 billion before the presidency to about 3 billion now is one estimate. This is notably the opposite direction from a typical politician. Increases in wealth are far more suggestive of corruption.
It's independent of mass because it's just a little extra space being created everywhere all the time. It's not exactly a force. First, there was 1 meter between them. Now there's 1 meter and a tiny bit more. The amount of space being created is, in theory, the same everywhere. It's not a repulsive force- space is just being created.

It can actually end up making things very far away appear to move faster than light away from us, since there's a lot of space in between.
What you consider freedom (and Human Rights) is likely different than I. However, in the US you get to live with the tyranny of the majority, regardless of what either of us think. The fact that it's (largely) an ignorant mass in charge vs a specific individual (and their motivated power structures) is different and yet the same. Culturally, China tolerates more. Give the USA a couple thousand years and it will look identical.

No form of government has lasted the test of time, but authoritarian governments have statistically populated the longest lasting ones. In modernity, there has been a brief renaissance, but I don't believe that corruption of a modern democracy will take longer than it did for Rome ANYWHERE, including the USA.

It's hard to be critical of becoming successful as robber barons of the USA, when there's so little culture and so much of the capital to waste. Don't mistake those qualities for innate value.

They’re ridiculously low friction. Stick them in your ears and they’re on and paired and ready. Take them out and they’re off. Store them and they’re charging. Trivial to swap them between Apple devices, easy to pair the first time.

And they sound great considering their size.

They’re little magic gizmos that make me (and millions of others) happy because they work so well.
I didn’t understand Sony’s strategy back when the iPod was big and I still don’t now.

At roughly the same time I got an iPod, and an Apple-hating housemate bought a Sony MP3 player with a name only a barcode scanner could love. Also it couldn’t play MP3s, instead a weird proprietary format that didn’t work anywhere else. Songs had to be converted using their crappy software.

He swapped it for an iPod within weeks.

Even now, the conversation is ‘what are those?’, ‘oh, they’re AirPods’. Compared to ‘what are those?’, ‘oh, they’re Sony WC-31... err, Sony headphone things.

Good work guys.

Until recently, I agreed with you, but I just read a book called Quiet (by Susan Cain) [1] about introversion, and in the book they give evidence that shows that many of corporate history's most successful leaders were introverts.

I highly recommend the book to anyone who thinks they're an introvert, manages introverts, or has introverted family members -- it helped me understand/be happy with many of my own personality traits that I'd overlooked or misunderstood. (And, after reading the book, I realize I'm an ambivert, not an introvert.)

> For most of gaming's history it has been a niche product without mainstream appeal

Really? So the Atari boom was niche? 500,000 arcade machines sold in 1982 was niche? 30 million Nintendo Entertainment systems in American homes was niche?

It hasn't been a fledgling industry by any reasonable measure for at least 25 years if not much longer.

How many artists, testers and game designers do you know that moved into finance, media jobs, or architectural visualization (very much a niche industry). At least 75% of people working in the video game industry doing skilled and professional work can't easily transfer to a different field in the same way as an electrician cant move in to plumbing.
