What happens when you combine extensive knowledge of a user's most intimate secrets and most painful memories with the ability to algorithmically choose targeted content at will, with the intention to amorally experiment on said user? Can you cause long term psychological damage to a user? Would it be justified if this were deemed to be a form of "digital karmic revenge", also determined using social mining algorithms?

What would happen if such weapons were refined on a user across social media platforms over a multi-decade timeframe? Could you invoke self-destruction of a person intentionally?

I am in favor of net neutrality, but I think it needs to be augmented with more regulation at the application layer. At this moment I'm more worried about the monopolies in social networking, digital content distribution, app stores, and online advertising.
There has been a big shift to ship-from-store to make up for limited warehouse capacity to meet increased demand. The options for delays for store picks up are much the same: employees drop off at depot, third party courier, or wait.
I'm pointing out that flipping bits could be a form of cryptographic attack (potentially against an implementation bug, not necessarily against the math/algo) .

For example flipping a bit possibly could cause a checksum failure and retransmit.

Chrome Dev Summit 2020
It's funny because your comment would make sense if the Bluetooth spec wasn't a product of design by committee by a bunch of big companies called the "Bluetooth Special Interest Group", but was instead the fault of someone hacking from home without pants on.

While in reality, we could pool together some money to buy pizza for a couple of weeks for some experienced embedded developer with some RF knowledge and odds are they'd produce something better. Without pants on.

Here's my design for a lie down workstation I've used for weeks at a time.

1. open an ordinary laptop screen to 180 degrees.

2. Place the laptop face down on a desk with the laptop's screen hanging over the side of the desk.

3. Put a big heavy object on top of the laptop (I used a hug e book).

4. Plug in your peripherals and put them under your desk

5. lie down underneath your desk so you can see the monitor

6. rotate the display settings as necessary.

Advantages:

* lying on the floor is great for your back

Disadvantages:

* Make sure book is huge enough, otherwise laptop comes crashing down on your head.

* Monitor space is limited to a single laptop screen.

You may have fancier requirements that require a trip to the hardware store. OTOH, you might not. the real trick here is I only need one small monitor to do my job.
Irregardless is in the dictionary

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless

> Is irregardless a word?

> Yes. It may not be a word that you like, or a word that you would use in a term paper, but irregardless certainly is a word. It has been in use for well over 200 years, employed by a large number of people across a wide geographic range and with a consistent meaning. That is why we, and well-nigh every other dictionary of modern English, define this word. Remember that a definition is not an endorsement of a word’s use.

>Audiophile and Bluetooth is a contradiction in terms.

Not true.

Yes, bluetooth compression puts a ceiling on audio quality. However, the majority of sound output devices are so crappy that they don't even exercise the full bluetooh potential.

So if you couple quality sound output system with a bluetooh source, they can still sound much better than bluetooth + crappy headphone + crappy speakers.

I used to work for a hosting firm who had large numbers of customers making use of CentOS for their pre-production environments, running RHEL for their production.

This announcement is a kick in the teeth to those customers, as the transition to RHEL 8 for these pre-production environments will feel very much like a shakedown.

I feel this is tremendously damaging for Red Hat's reputation and the goodwill developers had towards them.

Oracle has a page describing the difference:

https://linux.oracle.com/switch/centos/

They have a shell script to convert a CentOS install to Oracle Linux, so you can buy support if you want.

The converter only works with versions 5, 6, and 7.

It does not work with CentOS 8. It would be nice if that could get updated.

You sound like you are selling these headphones. Yeah, making wireless headphones with active noise cancellation is complicated, what else is new. Same as making a smartphone, or a laptop, or a car. "Significantly better than the competition"? Sure they are if you listen to (or are) Tim Cook or some Apple fanboy, but really buying an iPhone is mostly a matter of preference, not really being "better than the competition". And "preference" is the best case scenario, because quite more often that's a matter of being victim of aggressive marketing.

I mean, AirPods Max may be actually better than the competition (unlike regular AirPods, which are a bestseller anyway). But they were just announced, why the hell would you assume that they are any good at all?
Considering how many hours per day/week most of us spend with our headphones and how many years they last, I think the price difference is marginal over its lifespan.

My Bose QC35s are almost 4 years old. My initial thought was to upgrade to the Bose 700 ($340), but the Airpods Max are $210 more expensive. If I assume 3 years before my next upgrade, this equates to $6 more per month.

The in-ear segment was a slam dunk for the AirPods Pro - no exciting options competing there (Sennheiser's True Wireless were a huge disappointment). In the wireless over-ear segment on the other hand, it is very competitive and there are great options. The H1 chip isn't that much of a leg up, compared to how well Sony, Bose and the others handle connectivity to multiple devices. It'll boil down to the basics for me: audio quality and noise cancellation - if Apple can nail those, the price increase would be worth it in my book.
Wall-E isn't as far off in the future as we might have thought.
Extremely expensive.

When it comes to high-end speaker/headphones drivers, plastic and/or paper are the preferred materials. Metal is not inherently superior in this application. It is different, not better. Stiffer materials are more resistant to cone breakup but that is not really an issue in tiny headphone drivers. Some headphone makers probably choose metal drivers for marketing reasons, because (as we see on this thread) consumers understandably think that metal is better than plastic.

$100 Sennheiser HD 280 pros. A $400 Sennheiser 650
will no doubt blow them away

Sure, lets look at the 650's objective performance.

https://reference-audio-analyzer.pro/en/report/hp/sennheiser...

https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/s...

A +6dB hump at 5khz, followed by a (checks notes) -12dB (!!!) dip between there and 10khz.

You may enjoy that sound, but it is (in a literal sense) not high fidelity. Above 4khz those Sennheisers do random things to the frequency response that an individual may or may not find enjoyable. And above 7khz it starts to become a simulation of high frequency hearing loss. I would probably enjoy it, because my old ears aren't great in the treble region.

More to the point, we're comparing active DSP EQ'd headphones (the Apples) to a bunch of passive models. Physical construction of the drivers becomes less relevant when you can use onboard EQ to bend the frequency response however you like, and you don't have to worry about making your headphones' impedance curve work with a ridiculous array of amplifiers because it is mated to a known onboard amplifier.

Now, I'm not claiming that the AirPods Max will be headphones to buy. I really don't like the sound of Bluetooth headphones in general, with the caveat that I haven't heard Sony's near-lossless LDAP codec. But these seem like a reasonable value proposition if you want wireless and a bunch of Apple-specific convenience features and you're in the market to drop a few hundred on some headphones that you might use for several thousand hours.
What do you think the traditional education is for a software engineer?
Right to Read comes to mind.

Software might be eating the world, but IP industry and legislation are eating the hardware. There soon may be no user-controlled hardware, especially with the advent of the internet where "vulnerabilities" that let users run their own code can be patched, and Apple-like certificate checking can be deployed out.

GPLv3 might be seen as an effort to counter-act this situation.
At what point should we just throw out IP out of the window and figure out something new ? OK maybe not IP since all hardware infrastructure is based on it, but the whole idea of associating services to publicly open ports on the target machine. I'm thinking connections should be encrypted at the operating system level and then services would plug in at some higher level in a way that cannot be detected by outside observers.
If I run more than two "browsers" my laptop slows to a crawl (I am in the USA, but I don't have the money for fancy stuff), so I have to decide to run Firefox (main browser), Chromium (test browser), VSCODE (IDE "browser"), or one of the other 50 "browsers" I have installed. Usually I have to run all of the above 3 when working, so I end up using OS tools to "freeze" the process of whichever "browser" I am not using at the time, but it causes problems.

I would be super happy if I could run several similar engines under one main process, I don't care as much about security concerns when I'm developing my own software, and would not mind some "intraprocess security holes" if I could reduce my memory footprint like that and then turn it off when I want the "security holes" to be closed again.
Didn't some newspaper use Kafka to store the newspapers they released in order or something similar? (I think it was the New York Times, maybe??).

I'm an undergrad TA for an introductory programming course, and I believe it is one of the most important skills that is not taught in the actual syllabus. Most every student runs into road blocks at some time. When I work with them, I try to work through a process of debugging. Even for me, it took me a number of years to have a rigorous concept of what debugging entails, and often still takes me some time before I decide to attack the issue in a systematic way, even if beginning the debugging process formally would be a much more efficient use of my time.
Why Weet Is Unique
It will hurt indirectly, because a lot of developers/devops/sys admins get skills working on CentOS which are then portable to RHEL. Now they won't. Network effects of being popular are significant.
I have the XM3s too. I agree about their indestructibility (they're the only headphones I've owned in years that haven't broken within a year or so!), but mine have developed an annoying hissing sound in one ear when noise cancelling is on. They also have that "plasticky" feel and annoyingly "creak" in the headband when they move around.

The comfort is unmatched, however, and battery life is still fantastic on them despite very heavy use. Not sure I can imagine that battery ever dying!

I've been toying with the idea of buying XM4s but I'm tempted by Apple's. I guess I'll give them a try and can always return them if the comfort etc isn't as good as Sony's.
I understood the comment like you. After reading the thread, I got the idea of the OP.
LukeEF mentioned the fact that all contributors consented in another comment.

However, since the code was GPLed, it's still GPLed at the commit prior to the licence change. One could theoretically fork at that commit.

Due to some life-changing events and a bipolar disorder I have developed quite some of these dark traits. But they do tend to come and go. I am not proud of them but they did help me establish myself professionally on some levels while dragging me down on others.o My soft side would usually be very sorry and forgiving while the darker side would push my ego.

I had one episode where the darker side took over. I felt like a king, not respecting others opinions on me. For the first time I had this self-esteem which my soft side was lacking. I did actually double my salary with that dark side but ever since I feel completely lonely.

Proof? They still require joint partnerships [1] and IP transfer in high tech industries. Sure they don’t require it in others where they’ve already built up domestic competitors and obtained all the IP they need (ie manufacturing).

Granted maybe you have updated information here so open to reading about it. Claiming that “but western countries do it too” is unhelpful whataboutism. I didn’t claim Western countries don’t do crappy shit. In terms of market access and competition, that shiftiness is more about established players and regulatory capture rather than outright pseudo-fascism whereas China seems to have adopted fascism quite aggressively (ironic considering they call themselves a socialist party but I guess all authoritarian regimes end up looking very similar).

Saying “I see western logos when I walk around in China” is missing the mark when I talk about what is required of companies when they enter China (and as I said not all industries, but the ones strategically important to China somehow, especially high tech)

I have a similar reaction to nickel jewellery/watches, even nickel guitar strings make my fingers blister more than cobalt strings.

That wouldn't make any sense for FedEx/UPS though. If you get three packages in Atlanta, and the first and third are going to Los Angeles, and the second one is going to Birmingham, it makes a lot more sense to process package 1 and 3 together and probably take care of number 2 first.
What's the reaction that would happen to you if you ate meat? How do you treat it if you accidentally ate some? Chicken was ok to eat? Why did it clear up after a year? Was it a year of medications or your body just dealt with it?

My interpretation is that I could switch to LGPL Qt for client software and keep my source code if I dynamically link to Qt.

I may be too strident as a commercial developer in my anti-LGPL 3 rhetoric, but my cloud-apps have been avoiding it assiduously. Client side, I should look for this kind of flexibility.
One thing to note is that Apple is using a different pricing strategy in headphones then with their traditional products. They are pricing them higher, but are offering very deep discounts on sale. For example, AirPods and AirPods Pro sold with 30% discount everywhere past Black Friday. This would translate to a sub $400 price point on sale for the max, which put them in line with the competition from Bose and Sony.
I'd love to have the original Centos project people doing an AMA and what they (really) think about this decision!
This is what I want these to do: let me seamlessly switch from my phone to my computer(tablet/watch) and back, or heck connect to all of them at the same time but let me easily control it.

It might be "huge and awesome good news" if they keep both CentOS 8.x and CentOS Stream. But they're forcing Stream as a replacement, hence all the pushback. Let's be honest, most people just want to run a gratis released RHEL, not run their betas.

My guess is that Stream turned out way less popular than their sponsored hoped (who cares if it's developed in the public eye if it's entirely RH curated anyway). So CentOS 8.x had to die.

Traditionally, it's not about the phone, the technology is meant to provide the effects one hears with the complicated 5+1 speakers and similar setups (typically today called "home cinema" etc), where you can "hear" the effect or the music appear from different directions (e.g. behind your back, right and in front of you left, or even the steps moving across the room). The effect can be heard when you're in the center position between many speakers and the content is produced for that. But, if you move your head while wearing the headphones (which should help you figure out where the sound comes from) the change that gives you the idea "where something is" won't be heard if the headphones aren't able to "know" that you moved your head at that moment and adjust the sounds accordingly. For adjustments, typically a lot of computation is needed. In VR or AR the same effect could give you a direction information of everything virtual around you. The virtual door on the right of you scratches, and as you approach it you hear the noises louder, as you turn your head, the noises are obviously from behind the virtual door... etc.

Edit: to answer the "stereo" question: so it's about the audio mixed in more than 2 channels, or VR and the like effects.
That is a significant limitation. A considerable amount of open source software is written while people are employed, as part of their work.
> Eh aren't they basically non existent? Like 6.2% unionised in private industry and that tends to be more in other industries.

That wasn't the case when this started. The decline of unions in the US and the movement of US manufacturing to China has pretty well gone hand in hand.

> Hell if you'd take their lobbying on foreign policy they'd probably be fairly protectionist.

Protectionism apropos of nothing is a non-starter, because there's no argument for it. You can say we need tariffs on China to account for currency manipulation and prevent a single undemocratic nation from monopolizing important world markets, but you can't win an argument that says food workers should pay more for transportation just to benefit auto workers who already make more money than they do.

But they do often win arguments about not automating away jobs, because there is less money to be made automating them than there is in getting paid to do them when they're not automated, since the automation would apply to everyone in the industry and just lower prices. So we've been fighting automation for the sake of jobs even though it's the main thing that can make higher priced US labor competitive with lower priced foreign labor, and then we lose the jobs anyway.
