Six years in and my BackBeat Pros have over 1000+ cycles and still last 15+ hours out of their original 24hr. I don't notice a functional difference, I still recharge them about every 3 days.

It's not 10 years but the experience of owning a lithium-battery powered pair of headphones has not degraded as much as I was expecting. Hopefully the Apple batteries are replaceable though, it would really suck to have a $550 pair of headphones that you have to keep tethered to a desk.
"I fear that, what if a company like SpaceX over promises and under delivers and causes more damage to the field long term than if they had not done anything at all?"

Not sure how you think SpaceX could cause more damage than doing nothing. They are the only group for the last two decades, besides Blue Origin, that is trying to advance the technology of heavy lift rockets past what we had with the Saturn V. Just imagine what $30/kg to orbit instead of $10000/kg will open up. They have are half way there with booster recovery and now just need the size of StarShip and the recoverable second stage.

If a company is creating revolutionary technology, why is it an awful company? Under what metrics are you judging it by? Lots of people get "burned out" working at SpaceX, but others also thrive in the environment.
Or you could buy yourself a really nice set of $200 headphones and still send $350 to charity.
A useful breakdown of each trait to me is this one https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5863998_Between_Fac.... Here agreeableness is divided into compassion and politeness. Compassion corresponds to your idea of what empathy means, and politeness corresponds to being generally nice and cooperative, respecting authority and so on. From these https://ipip.ori.org/newAB5CKey.htm, the primary ones for compassion are Warmth, Sympathy and Understanding, and the primary ones for politeness are Nurturance, Cooperation, Pleasantness.
Do we need one person to understand everything?

I don’t believe so, but there could be limits to the efficiency of collaborative understanding and action on complex systems, such that we have to have one person understanding multiple systems.

To play devils advocate, I see this in science all the time where the great insights come from people with deep knowledge in multiple areas.
A related concept is the warrant canary, which is a positive statement that the government has not accessed user information. It is current untested in court whether the PATRIOT Act can compel speech, or merely silence it, and so the idea is that if you stop making the positive statement that no government intrusion has occurred, then it implies that there has been intrusion. (The constitutionality of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act has, to my knowledge, never been tested in court, and I firmly believe that it violates the First Amendment's protection of free speech.)

That said, they are generally ignored when they disappear. Apple and Reddit both removed their warrant canaries in 2016, to very little fanfare, despite the implications of them doing so.

Bluetooth is enabled while in Airplane mode, so I don't get your point frankly.

Gaming latency is true though - when I use Bluetooth headphones on my TV, Game Mode gets automatically disabled.
So I guess you travel with an orchestra?

Because there aren't any "natural" / "neutral" / whatever speakers / headphones / cochlear implants. They all get a signal and a task: make this sound the way the listener wants.

"Just make it sound as it did when it was (live) recorded"? That's not going to happen even assuming some "perfect" speakers (not headphones), unless you can also supply the room, audience, humidity, and appropriate level of inebriation.

Apple has done a lot of of work on adjusting AirPods to your head and ear, IIRC. That's all software, and exactly the sort of thing they've been good at, even in the last few years.

It's basically iPhone camera vs. Canon & Nikon, the sequel. How many times did people on HN insist phone cameras will never be as good as SLRs, because the latter have the five pound of glass it takes to create good photos?

Turns out software and sensors are a pretty good substitute. While some features of good lenses are still not quite there (bokeh), they've eviscerated them in other, arguably more important disciplines (low light).
The experience is a little like that of photography, I've found. Starting out, you can spend substantial but reasonable amounts for very significant increments in image quality. After a while you hit an inflection point beyond which you'd be spending effectively unbounded amounts in search of just that little extra bit of sharpness or depth of field or so on. The people with the money and urge to climb that curve are very like "serious audiophiles" in my experience, but there's still a range in which you can spend and see a real difference.

My 105mm macro and flash kit cost about a grand, and let me take pictures of hunting wasps from six inches away - something I couldn't do without them. Likewise, the headphones I use let me hear things I otherwise wouldn't. You can get stupid with money for sure in this space, but that doesn't make everything in this space stupid.
People who have a desire for power, are often the ones who end up getting it. I hope societies can think of methods that allow calm and reasonable people to be elected.

Physics. Shure headphones have very thick foam eartips and thick, well sealed, flush, headphone shells.

As for audio quality, there's really not much better that can be done than the good Shure headphones. I suppose it's possible, but quite unlikely.

I wouldn't say only far-right extremism is dangerous, any extremism that incites actions and contests reality is dangerous.

Gnews (or atleast the Guo stuff) is arguably not even far-right, most of their content is orthogonal to US left/right divisions and they just happen to be supportive of Trump as Trump is vocally anti-China (and because they allied with Bannon in the past year or so)

Ask HN: What do you use to organize your study / work as a developer?
Lately I've been using Notion a lot to keep up with my work and studies.
Being self-taught, I use Notion to take notes of everything I read and study (I feel like it's just too much to memorize) but I would like to know of your strategies to keep up with the latest news and if you take notes for books and articles that you read!

Mostly I use Notion to bookmark links, have a proper reading list, take notes of articles/books that I find interesting, and to keep track of my tasks.

If you're interested I also discuss my process on my latest blog post, if you're interested, (https://itzami.com/blog/how-i-use-notion-as-a-developer/) but feel free to just explore your own study methods here
it doesn't look like you can find it by fuzzing x509 cert parsing alone, only in certain combinations like by checking a cert against a CRL list.

If you created a combined X.509 + CRL parser fuzzer you might have found it. Probably nobody has done that.

>offering better sound at a cheaper price

This is what drives me nuts about stuff like this. How can you even say that? There's no way that you've tried these headphones so how can you possibly say that? Apple has gotten rave reviews with regard to audio quality in the Airpods Pro and the Homepod and Homepod Mini so why wouldn't they take that expertise and put it into these?
Yup. Edited today. Why even publish the EOL dates, at this point? They're meaningless.

I feel like that answers it's own question.

> The Extended Security Update (ESU) program is a last resort option for customers who need to run certain legacy Microsoft products past the end of support.

Windows 7 is EOL. ESU is meant to run legacy applications for some time after OS EOL. By definition, legacy applications will not use Qt 6.0.
Notice how these two things are divided based on different criteria: one is about aspiration/stated intent (“making things people want”) while the other just plainly describes a person’s role in a wider context. Sounds like a setup for falling for Fundamental Attribution Error.
Whether they are already attempting to access that information is only one part of the question. Will they do it in future, given they could do it at any time and TikTok would have to comply?

That's true, but at least you'd have some evidence of tampering. If it's your data that is breached or your privacy invaded, you have no idea.
"But nazis might use it!" is an incredibly weak excuse for perpetual copyright. Creators aren't a special breed of fragile human that needs to be protected from seeing the potential future of their work.

There's a compelling argument for having creators around when their work gets used for nefarious ends - they can add their voice to the condemnation, if they choose.

Besides, in the age of corporate ownership of practically everything (see: TFA), what makes you think creators still have any say in how their work gets used?

> Sure covid will probably continue to exist, just like H1N1 exists

Flu immunity only lasts 6 months.

COVID immunity seems to already be longer than Flu / H1N1 immunity.

Now if COVID immunity is only 1-year or 2-years, then yes, it will flare up over time. But if COVID immunity is like 5 years or 10 years, then we can pretty much forget-about-it after the vaccine.

No one knows how long the immunity is, aside from lasting longer than any test so far.
> Hire someone if this will be their career-defining role — they are on the cusp of their career... They will do everything it takes to succeed.

I have mixed feelings about this. One one hand finding people that haven't been spoiled by big tech and are still excited and enthusiastic about making a difference is huge for a company.
But that "they will do everything it takes to succeed" sound like it could be used to the detriment of the employee.

It's also much harder to test spread. You'd have to do repeated follow-up of all participants with frequent testing. When you have 40,000 participants, that's a significant concern. Trials like these are called "large, simple trials" since at that scale it's impractical to have a complicated study design at that scale. In addition to the pure expense, it's difficult to comply consistently with the protocol if it's complicated and you need to implement it at dozens or hundreds of sites. And recruiting people becomes harder and harder as you need additional follow-up, and attrition is higher (and likely biased: you're more likely to take your test if you think you might be sick).

So it's entirely reasonable to just study symptomatic cases in these trials.
Highly intelligent people are highly adaptable. If the incentives set by the system favor certain traits deemed as dark there will be a non zero percentage of people developing these traits. Especially in highly competitive fields.
For example is it a dark trait to work at the minimum required level in a company while spending the time gained to sharpen my skills so I get a 50% salary increase changing jobs instead of a possible 5% increase for performance?
HD 6XX, a Magni/Modi pair, and no real interest in hearing anyone else's opinion about what I should've gone with instead.
I don’t to now why free speech is the issue OP chose to highlight. The bigger problem is access to the Chinese market. The West allows basically unfettered access to their markets with rules that generally are applied equally (obviously an ideal if not always the case). China is explicitly against that. To operate in the Chinese market you have to partner with a Chinese company and divulge a lot of IP to them.

I disagree with the way Trump targeted a single company but I think instituting a similar policy across the West to deal with China in similar terms wouldn’t be a bad idea to try to get them to negotiate a better status quo.
I recommend searching for "vitamin c training adaptation" on Google Scholar. You'll get a few results plus a list of citations for each result (click "cited by"). The citations help to put each paper into context.

The general idea is that high doses of antioxidants influence cellular pathways that are usually triggered by the presence of reactive oxygen species. The vitamin C reacts with the ROS before the body can build up a response.

I'm not a coach or nutritionist, I can't give a good recommendation. I think the trend goes towards supplementing as little as possible and instead eating enough fruit and whole foods. The body is extremely complex (check out http://biochemical-pathways.com/), supplementing with high dosage might have consequences we don't understand yet.

Personally I stopped taking vitamin C a while ago and have not noticed a difference.

"Dylan Johnson" is a coach who gives science-based recommendations, he has a video on Youtube about vitamin C.
I can only hope so. They could very well outsource it to the usual transportation companies, and there isn't much accountability tbh.

Oh well, if this one doesn't work, perhaps we can try again with the Oxford vaccine heh
Because the Bluetooth profiles that allow two-way audio streaming (HFP and HSP) define a lower audio bandwidth. Your Bluetooth headset is probably switching from A2DP to HFP or HSP when you start a call.

In [1] the founder calls it "differentiated training", but that doesn't seem to be an established term in English. There's a wikipedia article on "differentiated instruction" [2], but that seems to be specific to a school context. I only really found information on it in German, e.g. [3].

> IMO their biggest thing would be their ability to use computer vision to instantly process videos

An intelligence agency interested in that information could just scrape TikTok's entire catalog and do the processing themselves. If it were a messaging app that would be different, but since TikTok is all about posting videos for the whole world to see, they don't really have much secret information about their users.

"So how long will volunteers keep fixing the LGPL side, "

As far as I know, it's not 'indy devs' supporting the LPGL, rather the LPGL is merely a term of release of the regular, mainline branch. It's the 'same code'. Am I missing something?
It is not about appearing weak, it is about a trade deficit . TikTok can make money off Americans with little effort but Facebook and Google have to make entirely new apps to get entry to the Chinese market (I can't remember if they still have live apps or if they are banned right now)

The second officer has his pistol aimed at the top of the stairs as he is walking towards the bottom of the stairway."

And like my comment said, we don't see any people at the top of the stairs, so we don't know if it was aimed at anyone or not. Even if there are people up there, we can't tell if the gun is aimed at anyone or pointed "low" (into the top few stairs) or at a higher angle to aim at a person as it's only a 10 degree or so difference in angle and we don't see the full scene. All we can do is make assumptions, which isn't helpful.

TLDR sound bleed can be ok.

With headphones, I can still hear my music at a loud volume with high quality while the noise outside of my home office is none. The only time someone would be affected would be if they walked into my home office.

If I set my speakers to the same volume level, it'll disturb most nearby rooms in the house.
Ideally it should depend on the type of game (turn based games can be fine at 15 fps, a fighting game could be legitimately difficult to play at anything less than 60), but if you need a common baseline, 30 fps seems reasonable. 10 fps probably isn't.

I'll add to the recommendations to steer clear of the 16" MBP. It runs uncomfortably hot for rather menial tasks, and the fan noise is bothersome if you're like me and are used to previous generations that were an order of magnitude quieter (I upgraded from a 2015 MBP whose fans were seldom activated). I also almost always use an external display, and just connecting the monitor (1440p ultrawide) causes the fans to spin up to an audible level every time.

As for the M1 issues, nobody knows except for Apple, but I would expect that most will be solved within the next year. There's a lot of core functionality in that article you posted that I can't imagine staying broken for more than a year.
Can you elaborate on exactly the lawyers are on about the 'sword'?

I'm sure there are other brands with that sort of
attachment, but none that exemplify the phenomenon more.

Get off that high horse and take a really honest look at your own life, and you'll probably find dozens of examples.

Do you research evvvvvvvvvvvvvverything you buy? Toothpaste? Underwear? Toothpicks?

Ever order from Amazon even though something costs slightly more because you're not sure if the other retailer is trustworthy and you don't feel like spending an hour figuring out if Bob's Wholesale Toothpick Emporium is a site you can trust?

I don't know about you, but my life is a combination of things I have obsessively researched and stuff where I just sort of relied on the brand name. When I need a pair of pants I usually just buy Levis or something because they'll be fine. I've only got so many hours in my life and I don't really feel like becoming a... pants expert.
