Strange, I've used QC35 II so far with three different phones and one tablet, all Android, no problems whatsoever with Bluetooth. Turn on BT in the device, click the BT button on the headset to cycle the device. That's basically it.

EDIT: I turn off BT in all but one device!

I don't use the Bose app for anything. The only time was to update the firmware and re-enable the noise cancellation button, which somehow vanished.

As for range one can't expect much more with Bluetooth, especially indoors.

If you meant QC35 II and not QC35, could your issue be something in the Mac and/or iPhone and not the headphones?
This seems to be answering "how can I stick with a side project?" with "you don't need to." Maybe it's good advice, but OP specifically emphasized asking folks how to finish.

Same! Spring's my favorite season, especially early spring as the world comes back to life. Not being able to be safely out in it, even to the limited extent of our own backyard, hurts.

The HN is a very intelligent community, so I'd like to hear your thoughts out loud here. Do you guys think supply chains will move closer to home because of this pandemic? I'm hearing every narrative under the sun right now: "This will establish globalism even more", "No! This marks the abrupt END of globalism." What are your thoughts?
The idea that any government program ever get's rolled back contradicts the reality though. I'm not aware of many, if any, program which ever gets cancelled by the government. Most "cuts" to a program involve cutting the rate of growth of the program
I’m really annoyed this range isn’t getting a more global release. We won’t be seeing these in Australia.
IntelliJ is prettier, but just as bloated. Buch of that bloat is just features. I've used both for years and thought both were good with different strengths/weaknesses.
It's a real stretch to suggest that Apple is a monopoly because they control their own platform. By that definition anyone who has a closed platform is operating a monopoly. Is Netflix a monopoly? Fiverr?

One of the principles of competition law is prevent a company from abusing a dominant position or to prevent a company from obtaining a dominant position through abuse. Apple does not have a dominant position.
This. Of course it's very different to take a $1 salary when you are already wealthy, the company you are a CEO of is already worth billions and you are getting paid in financial instruments that are worth actual money.

For most startup founders, including myself, that's not the case. I'm not complaining, I'm sure we are ourselves in a much better position that the average American who is getting squeezed by this crisis, but there's definitely a huge gap between my company and Apple, LOL.
> Discuss your concerns with HR if you can.

Be wary of this. HR exists to protect the company and void litigation, not necessarily to protect the employee or the employee's work environment.

There was a time where I likely spent more time on an airplane than some pilots. For years, I used their older QC3 all day long.. traveling and working. At some point, well past any warranty, they started to make a popping sound. They essentially just swapped it out for free.

I picked up a pair of the A20 aviation headsets, just before they announced the Bluetooth update. (I also fly, but when I do they are the bug smashers, not the commercial ones) They turned around and cross shipped a new module for my headset free of charge.

I did end up replacing the older QC3's with one of the QC35 wireless headsets. Nothing but positive things to say about their kit. For the most part, it has been used hard and worked flawlessly. When I have had an issue - they took really good care of me. Would reccomend.

(With the QC35, I've really not needed to do anything with them. They just connected to my Linux box and Andriod tables OOTB.)
Not OP but if party A is harassing party B (read: "sending unsolicited dick pics"), I could imagine circumstances under which the sysadmin deletes messages that party B has received. (After HR and lawyers all around have been looped in by all parties, and copies of the messages have been forwards to the lawyers.

Also consider that the first amendment isn't absolute and there is certain material that is highly unsavory, eg child pornography, that party B doesn't even want the potential of possessing.

There are certainly nefarious usages for that level of access as well, but I can imagine legitimate usage exists as well.
Finally, ideas that don't just generate money can be explored.
The point 3 really helped me to see some improvements. When I complete those little tasks in the morning, I get the necessary boost to get the next things done.

They might not leave more than before, but they do leave. NYC is a very expensive place to live if you're not rich or don't have a high-paying job.
Amazon shipping hack - order what you want to order, wait 48 hours to see if it ships, and if it doesn't cancel and order elsewhere.

This assumes you value ordering through Amazon (I do b/c prime shipping, easy return policy, and I have a large gift card balance)

One thing I've noticed is that amazon may list a delivery date far out in the future, but it's possible you still get the product quickly, depending on what I can only assume are local warehouse logistic issues.

Over the past two weeks I've ordered packing/shipping supplies, a high chair, some electronics, and a board game which all had expected delivery dates of +1 month, and they all arrived in 2 days.

YMMV.

I came here to comment that "of course" it was both perfectly possible and in at least some companies/roles/industries likely routine for them to do so.

I am very surprised by the number of people claiming it is illegal or not possible.

You should always assume your email (and the contents of your hard\network drive, your browser based activity, and everything you do, down to the key strokes) is being recorded and may well be being actively monitored by your employer (or anyone else with privileges on the systems you use). Similarly, anything you delete is unlikely to be actually deleted.

Your friendly local IT guy might be stealing your bank details or checking for people trying to unionize or just spying for a competing department. It's not "Nice", but no one owes you nice.

Please act and plan accordingly.
One thing to keep in mind is that in dance, gymnastics, or figure skating non-competitive kids/families are usually identified early and then directed into recreational programs. By 12 YO most girls are in the recreational tracks rather than competitive or pre-professional tracks.

Also, by 12 years old, the kids are motivating themselves. If the parents are pushing them at this point, they will soon quit or move to recreational programs.

The amount of training or practice time is relatively minor for kids until they hit 12+ years old. And, then it is just the few the that remain in competitive/pre-professionsal programs that ramp up the training intensity.

While some families with money do over train kids when they are little, it really isn't much of an advantage because physical/natural talent begins to separate kids around 10-12 years old such that the excess early training during ages 5-9 is washed out. Thus, a 7 year old that is taking 5 lessons a week will excel as compared to most other 7-10 year olds that are taking 1 or 2 lessons per week. But if kids join the competitive ranks everyone is taking 3-4-5 lessons per week and the early lessons don't make that much difference anymore because anyone who is competitive will have caught up.

Ballet training has a similar split, where kids at a certain age/level are invited to the academy/pre-professional divisions that require 3-4+ classes a week. Otherwise, they drop into recreational dance (which can still be grueling but it is not on a professional track).

Source: My daughter was a competitive figure skater. She also competed in rhythmic gymnastics until it interfered too much with figure skating. Her training included a serious amount of ballet, she did a year or two of pointe before moving away from ballet. She turned to Chinese dance after turning down an invitation to join her ballet school academy/pre-professional division.

My daughter retired from competitive skating in her junior year of high school. She kept up the Chinese dance and did track and field until she went to West Point (USMA).

It was an awesome ride while it lasted. Expensive, time consuming, but very
much worth it.

However, I could never recommend artistic gymnastics except for little kids. It causes way too many injuries and requires too much gym time. I can't remember the levels - but as soon as the full height balance beam comes into play it is time to switch to recreational or move on. In our case, that is when we switched our daughter to Rhythmic.

Note, my son was doing little league baseball and basketball in elementary school, and then select teams in middle school, select and varsity in HS. He had more injuries than my daughter (some severe ankle sprains in high school).

Imaging Bob from accounting pasted a customer's SSN into a chat thread, group or 1:1... there countless things that shouldn't be posted in chat messages to live for eternity.

Some companies build it into their systems to automatically catch and mask that data, sometimes someone has to rollup their sleeves and do it manually.

I'd wager that 95%+ of orgs have tons of sensitive customer data scattered into chat messages in Slack, Teams, Hangouts, etc that would horrify most of us here.

Yeah I’ve ordered a few things now directly from the manufacturer.

The problem is in a lot of cases I’ll see stuff that’s slightly cheaper on their site but then shipping is ridiculous.

I ordered a mono price stand up desk recently. The price on Amazon was $10 more, but Monoprice wanted $45 for domestic shipping! So I waited three extra days and saved $35.

It’s kind of a toss up now between speed and price depending on the item. I mean, it always was, but when prime is functioning normally, the speed is almost always worth the price (to me).
Given amount of people I've talked to that believe they pulled themselves up by their boot straps, and then find out they have a trust fund or where able to find a couple hundred thousand from a friends and family fund round, I'm not sure how much that stat matters.

I had a boss who did something similar - not to me, but to one of our people who was problematic, technically. He decided/ realized that this person would often not really contribute anything, but just parrot and regurgitate things without any intrinsic understanding.

So he'd start throwing in things that were wrong. Wait til they agreed with it, or repeated it later, and then "Oh, wait - I totally mispoke, I meant xxx, not yyy!"
Indeed. HR is not your friend. It exists to cover the employer's ass.

Ask HN: Apple Watch as a Heart Monitor?
I have heart palpitations sometimes and sometimes-high blood pressure (and acute anxiety), and with all the stuff coming up around COVID and heart health it's got me wondering if I should be monitoring mine (for an undiagnosed condition, or otherwise).

I've heard good things about the Apple Watch as a monitoring device but I'm wondering: is it good enough to buy it purely for that reason? I can live without having phone notifications on my wrist and I wouldn't really use it as a "workout device", exactly. Just a passive way of tracking my day to day health.

Same here - cold, flu, infection, and yes, hangover. I always assumed it was the same for everyone, but apparently not everyone has an elevated heart rate when hung over - or perhaps they just don't notice it as much.
Nope, no glee.

"I believe I used the words 'I wonder if...'."

Your claim was so absurdly offensive, it doesn't change because you add some qualifiers for plausible deniability. Trump just lies when it suits him. We've known this for 5+ years now and this is completely within his MO. Say one thing until it can't be defended any longer then just deny you said it or claim you were saying something else the whole time. This has been obvious throughout this whole coronavirus episode.

"Here we go again with the Foucault power dynamics stuff, seeing everyone as groups of competing interests rather than individuals with opinions"

Go and talk to anti-vaxxers or flat-earthers, or watch them being debated or interviewed. There simply just isn't any evidence that will convince them otherwise. This isn't a matter of "opinion" it's a matter of unwillingness to accept any information unless it's framed within certain narratives of "the government and scientists are lying" "you can't trust the establishment" "science doesn't know anything"

Also I'm not seeing people as groups of competing interests. Actually just as individuals with competing interests. Not sure where I grouped anyone aside from the POTUS and non-POTUS partition. Just saying, he doesn't need you to defend him.

> I worked among people that used Mac and Unix back then and most of them were anti-Microsoft zealots or brainwashed by the anti-Microsoft zealots.

Explain Edge on non-Windows platforms today then. A mobile version exists, but so few people use it that it ends up inside "Other" in most charts, behind such well-respected alternatives as the house-brand browsers of various phone OEMs that bundle them by default. Windows Phone no longer has a meaningful user base, so this is from much the same population who use Windows on the desktop.

> Furthermore, IE was the default on OSX from 1998-2003. How'd that work out?

Netscape was disbanded in 2003, so apparently pretty effective.

> Google pushing Chrome from google.com is nowhere near the same thing as "being the default browser".

The equivalent of a billion dollar marketing campaign will raise usage of something independent of whether it's really any better than the competition. Otherwise Coca Cola has been wasting a lot of money on advertising.

> It doesn't explain the rise of Firefox at all.

You have to be the default and be "good enough." It doesn't have to be better but it can't be a lot worse. IE during the rise of Firefox had claimed victory and given up, so it was stagnant and no longer good enough.

> Tech circles is where all this starts.

Somehow Samsung has higher mobile browser market share than Microsoft and Mozilla put together.

> It's a worse browser by just about every metric.

Browsers are so complicated and there are so many possible metrics that we could have that debate for ten years and not cover half of it, but suffice it to say that some people disagree with you:

>But still, to put it in terms you might better understand, why do you think that medical devices take years to design and develop and get to the market?

Because of insane regulatory hurdles, and a refusal to adopt standards accepted by other nations' comparable regulatory agencies? See, for example, KN95 masks. Or for a non-coronavirus example, look at how slow the FDA has been to approve SLIT immunotherapy methods for allergy treatment, despite European agencies having approved them for decades. Which results in Americans seeking allergy immunotherapy to either get off-label prescriptions for SLIT therapy, or they have to get the much more expensive injections that require multiple visits a week to a doctor's office and supervision by trained (and therefore expensive) professionals.

The current situation is not normal. People are forced into unemployment to control the outbreak. I completely agree that governments need to step in and provide support during this artificially induced economic coma. But I’m not sure any observations would apply to UBI in a normal mode of economy.
I agree there are certain similarities and problems in the US. But mass-censorship, concentration camps, and a true surveillance state on the level of China don't exist in the US. Some, like an expansion of the surveillance state, are plausible (maybe even likely?) in the near-future, whereas I don't see mass-censorship, concentration camps, or appointing the president for life happening any time soon.

Do not go to HR yet.

This is one of the reasons using your corporate email address for anything outside of work is a poor idea. I know some who chafe at using a corporate email address even while doing work for the company, not because they think it's inconvenient or an invasion of privacy, but because they lose access to it and people may contact them at the old address and not be able to find them afterwards.
You should also assume that your employer can take those things away instantly.

For example, one day your laptop forcibly restarts and afterwards you're locked out. Then a day later, you get the call that you were canned.

So always keep private communication separate and get private phone numbers / email addresses from coworkers that you get along well with. The company can delete your extension and email address, but with a bit of preparation that doesn't have to be the end of your personal relationships.
He conflates science and logic. Science and logic are two very different things.

for example, given:

f(x) = x*0;

verify the hypothesis that:

for all n in Real Numbers, f(n) = 0

To verify the above using science you would take a statistical sample of x and verify that it equals zero for that sample.

1*0 == 0
2*0 == 0
3*0 == 0
4*0 == 0

That's four test samples out of an infinite domain. To fully verify the function f via science you technically need infinite test cases to verify the fact. Usually you can never achieve this in reality so science usually takes what you call a "sample" and you say that if the sample is true very likely the hypothesis is true. The only assumption science makes is that probability theory applies to events in reality.

Note the isomorphism between science and unit testing; Same bs with none of the statistical rigor.

To do the same in logic you have to make assumptions from axioms and logically derive a proof from axioms.

The previous thing which was called a hypothesis is now called a theorem:

for all n in Real Numbers, f(n) = 0

The proof of the theorem from the axioms of arithmetic can be found here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/400605/a-proof-of-n...

That being said how does Type theory and code apply to science and logic and engineering?

Type theory is part of logic it is not part of science. Don't conflate the two.

What is engineering? Engineering is creating solutions for problems using either or both Science/Logic. In the realm of software engineering there is very little of both, It's all an art. Logic is rarely employed for verification and when it's done it's usually just type checking; and testing isn't done to a rigorous level that other scientific and engineering disciplines require.

For say the creation of the 787 airliner. The entire plane is built theoretically in software to such a degree that when they actually materialize the theoretical model as a physical prototype it can actually fly. Then after it is built they test it rigorously to a very high degree.

For most of software, none of the above is is ever done. We mostly work like artists, just making shit up (design patterns) and adhoc automated testing.

So in all practicality your coding job has no relation to either science, engineering or logic. You are an artist.

I know technically you apply bits an pieces of science and logic in your programming job but ultimately you use adhoc logic and science for even crossing the street, I'm not going to count programming as a "science" due to this.
