I dunno if the price is worth it or if it's mostly Apple Magic Pricing TM but honestly having a virtual assistant on hand is pretty good for day to day use - I'd love that in an over-ear.

Combine that with wireless and presumably Apple's headphone device switching ability and I'd be tempted if not broke

> better sound at a cheaper price

Oh nice you've tested them then? How's the sound for mainstream non-gold-plated ears?
Hey thanks for your comment.

Could you describe in more detail how the vaccines are currently being stored in your clinic?

How long does the vaccine can remain in room temperature, once taken out of clod storage.

How many doses have been allocated to your clinic and on an average how many patients do you foresee being vaccinated over a short period of time, let's say a month.

Also, are health workers also planning to get vaccinated soon, as they are on the frontline and among most vulnerable to infection.

Any other details you would like to share.

Thanks again.
meanwhile the last time the federal minimum wage was raised was in 2009, to $7.25 an hour. At that rate, you'd need to work ~76 hours to afford these headphones.

From a company that priced a monitor stand at $1000, this is at least more functional. But for most people, a pair of $30 headphones will be just as good, albeit without the status symbol element.

I believe the XM4s support being paired to multiple devices at once, which is the main reason I’m going for them over the XM3s
I'm skeptical if the protocol makes that much difference, the experience with Beats X basically felt the same as any normal BT headphones, AirPods definitely felt less fussy and more seamless despite them both using the same W1 chip.

My theory is the AirPods start getting ready for syncing as soon as you open the case/detects you touching them, while the Beats X had a traditional on button and were entirely unimpressive to me.
One of the things I criticise the most of Apple, the whole AirPod line is a disposable product. If the battery dies you can throw it away.
I like Apple products but I will never own any pair of AirPods or any other product where you can dispose of it when the battery is done. This is a shareholders dream, but an environmental nightmare.
Yep, no way I am stowing away headphones into a suitcase or work bag using this piece of fabric as a "case".
Heads up for anyone on a commercial license (this does not affect the LGPL-Version): Qt6 does not offer a perpetual license anymore, you need to switch to a subscription license. The catch is that you need a subscription license not only for development but also for distribution, meaning: you need to have a subscription for as long as you distribute your software with Qt6 under the commercial license!

Again: This only affects the commercial version! Nothing changes if you're using the LGPL version.

Created this account around 9 years ago (I've been in tech for 20 years or so). Never really used the site up until the past couple of years though, when I got in the habit of browsing it regularly (along with Reddit and a few other venues I'd ignored - went on a mini-binge of expanding my tech/social news sources).

Don't know that I've gained a lot of hard/useful knowledge necessarily, it's more an occasional source of interesting news and informed commentary, within the subset of interests HN revolves around. Have gathered some background material on specific topics of interest to me (HCI, workspaces, personal knowledge management).

I don't submit much or engage in discussion very often (this post being an exception, trying to move the consumption/creation needle a bit), but HN is an excellent resource. The simplicity of its UI and general model is refreshing, and the signal-to-noise ratio and quality of both contributors and moderation is very high.

There's also a zeitgeist aspect; I know if anything of significance happens within a range of interests, I'll likely hear about it here.

Overall though, HN is more a source of news and intellectual stimulation for me than a learning resource. It's an excellent and pretty unique one though, would miss it if it was gone.

I'll have to say that the spatial audio stuff is friggin' cool in the AirPods Pro. This is a bit spicy for me in the $ department as I already have too many professional over-the-ear headphones. But, would be nice... Dammit. Don't make me do it! I haven't looked, but if this has spatial audio that is compatible with an upcoming AppleTV or something, I'd probably just say "ummm, yeah, I will not be putting any surround sound in this room and I'll just enjoy this movie with my headphones."
Can we hope for a Fallout-Switzerland?
It's possible I just don't know how to use it, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on it. I have XM4s.
He really liked Twitter. It let him sit up on his high horse, while everyone else flitted around. That's where he was comfortable. Being above. Face to face or phone calls with strangers made him "equal" which he didn't see himself as.

Not judging, just pointing out it's interesting you can have this very likeable and well-loved and appreciated guy who internally sees himself (in this vocation of piloting) as the best of the best, which places him above everyone else in his estimation, which is a point of view that people who see as negative, and yet he was well-loved and he made it work. Only piloting tho, other things he didn't see himself as better than others, but better than was where he was comfortable so he associated most with his piloting.

Slightly premonitive that I had a dream last night about astronauts and test pilots, and very clearly the phrase "the right stuff" was repeated a few times, and in the dream I related it to (I think there was) that movie in the late 80s or 90s about "the right stuff" pilots with a few big names in it. Nothing in the dream about Yeager but I consider that a definite hit tho. I don't think I often get preinfo in dreams tho, so that's interesting.
How effective would the Swiss military really be? I looked up the last military operation they were in and couldn’t find anything relevant. Looks like they do extraordinary light peacekeeping and such. (Yes, yes, they’re “neutral”. Suppose I assumed they were still deploying with western bloc powers at least for some sort of combat experience training.)

Seems like the military is more for show than anything else at this point. I can’t imagine a populace living some of the most privileged European/western lives possible would have the stomach for its populace taking heavy casualties in any form of conflict.

The terrain is seemingly still their best advantage, but with modern air power this feels more like some sort of historical LARP the Swiss are proud of more than a force that would really achieve anything.
> It seems almost impossible that the vaccines pose a greater risk than the risk of not using them.

While this is a reasonable conclusion from what we've read in the media, it's worth noting that this is at odds with the official opinions of the EMA and the FDA.

They both believe more data is needed, or that the agencies need more time to analyze the data, before they can decree that the benefits most likely outweigh the risks. Otherwise, they'd have approved the vaccines already.
Just like the other brand cited in the original comment. He was pointing out what's different, and it's not the quality, it's the brand and ecosystem.
True the only still kind of used ones are the command bunkers, and even they are really outdated.

>Others, such as the Castello mentioned by /u/nix23 are used as temporary barracks for troops, but don't have an actual defensive function any more.

But temporary is not quite right when it's used for then first 10 weeks of recruiting school ;)
My Sony MDR7506 is... 22 years old. Cost about $100 back then. Looks like Amazon will sell you a new set for a little less than that. 11,500 reviews.

Tried.

They were only interested if we got a doctor to sign off that toxic gas caused
Injury.

Turns out doctors don’t care. They treat symptoms not causes. Several said they had had no idea what that much natural gas exposure would do.

Plus when 100% of the time I would explain it was carbon monoxide AND natural gas. They would fixate on carbon monoxide. Declaring that that those issues clear up quickly. Ignoring the other half of the issue.

Eventually gave up as I basically was bed bound for better than a year and just couldn’t fight it.
My first thought was: how come the frame isn't just dropped due to a bad checksum?

Then I remembered a piece of Ethernet test hardware I worked with. It had a bad SRAM chip or something which would result in all of the payloads having a stuck bit every 8 bytes. However, the FCS was calculated _after_ that, so it was still a valid frame.

My guess is AT&T has some hardware that's recalculating the checksums after the frame has already been corrupted.
What's exciting about the M1 Macs? Personally, I've never been excited about anything from Apple. Everything always seems to be about locking you into their stuff. If it excites you, good for you. It is not for me and it is not for a lot of people.

Yeah I completely agree strong foundational principles are important so that when the network scales you have something to guide you when making decisions.

Heh, a tiny python program to drive the device that delivers an electric shock to lab mice.
I would like someone to correct me if I am wrong, but I think we can never have 100% privacy because the destination IPs cannot be encrypted or hidden, so as long as the destination IP can be observed, the server that you are connecting at can be obtained (I know a server can host many web pages, but this requires the port, which cannot be encrypted either).

So I don't know to what extent this protocol can be useful.
The frustrating reason there’s no Lyme disease vaccine (2018)
I think you're probably selling yourself short. I also am a horrible designer, but I've built enough UIs to be able to at least add to the conversation.

I actually consider it part of a front-end developer's job to push back against designs that don't work. There are anti-patterns for users and many of them make life harder for developers (modals launching modals, for example). Some examples from my own life is a designer adding so many columns to a table that it would be too crunched on laptop screens, magic interactions that break a11y, or flows that just don't make sense for seasoned web users. Now that's not to say I can design a great UI on my own, but plenty of good editors can't write a hit novel either.

Most of the time designers are happy for the feedback, because it's cheaper to fix things early on and ultimately makes them look better.

You don't have to be a designer to spot the good and the bad, and I'd be willing to guess you've osmosed more than you give yourself credit for.

I'd be the one who bought these and only ever used them at home out of fear of other people seeing that I'd bought them.

Reflecting on your comment made me realize I'm never going to be driving a fancy car, I feel like I've lost something today.
I'm not sure what you took, but plain Tylenol is paracetamol (acetaminophen). It sounds like you may have taken a Tylenol-branded compound medication that added an antihistamine or something like that (there are several acetaminophen-plus over-the-counter medications available).
Ask HN: Build text-only browser tool with JavaScript/Node.js?
We are living abroad and cellular Internet here is not cheap. Every MB counts! Web pages these days have so many useless things to load.

Last time I used Opera mini with extreme mode to save data. But now, there is no more Opera Mini on iPad. I found some available tools like text.brow.sh (offline now), and another tool (not support UTF-8). I don't own a computer now, only have tablet devices. Thus, I think I may need to build a simple pure text only browser tool (Javascript/PHP) and put it on https://glitch.com or https://herokuapp.com or github page. Then I just simply use the browser on tablet visit my web page and enter the web I need to read with pure text only.

The idea now is something like:

```
text = await fetch("google.com").then(res => res.txt())

```
However, "fetch" will use our cellular Internet data to fetch the page before processing it to text.

Thanks for any advices/solutions.

May you all be well and happy!
Would they work with a PS4 or Xbox? That would make them more attractive to me.

Pretty sure that's the "if you want to use them with Apple devices, you need these versions".

For example AirPods Pro require iOS 13.2 or older, but work fine via Bluetooth to all non-Apple hardware.
No doubt Apple will have made a great product but that doesn't oblige you to buy them! What would the Airpod Max bring you that your existing Airpod Pros don't? What problem will they solve? It sounds like you're just buying things because Apple decided to sell them.
Are there any other laptops with trackpads as good as the Apple ones? Maybe there are these days, I don’t know, but there definitely didn’t used to be.

When you play back Dolby Atmos material, this feature sort of emulates having a surround sound system. So, even though you only have two earbuds, sounds do seem to be around you (coming from behind etc.) And if you move your head, the sound source stays the same, enhancing the illusion that there are 5 speakers around you and if you move, the sound changes.

The emulation is convincing and well executed, but it is still just a gimmick that only really works when playing back Dolby Atmos movies.
That's fairly standard. The laptop once purchased becomes an asset on the company accounts and then get's depreciated each year in line with local tax regulations. 3 years is the typical depreciation timeline.
Depends on the metrics you are ranking by.

I don't think you are ever going to have zero-latency Bluetooth, whatever brand you buy. Just use a cable.
I think you're right, I was mixing two concepts and my question wasn't really about determinism.

Writing a specialized OS suggests to me that someone is very focused on... the best way I can describe it is cutting a fat trajectory through the input space. I am curious if anyone is spending their effort on sparser (but more intelligent) sampling of the input space instead.

I've been using my pairs of Grados and Sennheisers for 20 years each. The Grados were $200 and the Sennheisers were $150. Apple has never been known for hitting audiophile quality, so even though we don't have reviews yet, they likely don't sound as good. Your Apple headphones will be in the trash in a few years and mine will still be delivering wonderful sound.
The AirPods seemed pretty ground breaking. Afaik, Apple was the first to release such earphones.

And people buy their stuff, so they're doing something right (mostly marketing heh).

I've been looking at the Magic Trackpad, which is pretty niche and doesn't get much attention.
I would love to have a little device that could reliably identify any plant. I'd teach myself to identify every plant in my area. I once counted fifty different wild species just in the ditch behind my house.

I was taking a break from looking things up for my Ural motorcycle and was looking up the Soviet clone of the IBM S/360 and 370s to see if they had ever made a microprocessor version. Instead of finding that I found... the Ural Mainframe! Variable word length (1-48 bits). There's very little in English on them, but I made a digitization request for two US government reports on them.
Maybe implement in an FPGA so I can put a Ural in my Ural.

Those sorts of attacks work on an author who has only been ripped off by one publisher, but when there are six or seven, the attacker ends up looking like the nut job. Just wait until next year. Somebody delivered this as a poison pill to the whole industry. When the same new story shows up in seven locations within two years, bad actors are easier to identify.
I dunno about fraud but it does occasionally have similarities to drug usage imo in that you can become aware of certain highs and then wind up endlessly chasing new levels of greatness.

I remember the first few albums I listened to on what I then considered HIGH quality headphones (Koss PortaPros and ATH-M50s) and it was mindblowing how much better some albums sounded, how much better they felt. It creates an itch that people with disposable income will want to scratch, then once you move into bluetooth you're adding all kinds of connection issues to consider too.

Reminds me of the overheating cpu xkcd and the emacs programmer.
What's often not told of the Battle of Monte Cassino is the destruction of a jewel of the West.

To the Germans' credit, they offered not to take the monastery as a position if the Allies wouldn't bomb it. They only took the advantageous positions after it'd been reduced to ruble.

The Germans also helped evacuate as much of the stuff inside as possible, moving it to the Vatican, where the monks trusted the Germans wouldn't steal the stuff. To further trust amongst the locals and monks, a monk accompanied every truck to the Vatican. As a result most of the library was saved.

Monte Cassino is one of the (many) examples of Allied war crimes and one of the (very) few examples of German honor in WWII.
Would new mRNA vaccines need to undergo stringent safety/efficacy testing as well? As I understand it, you make the bit of mRNA you want and stuff it onto the vector, which then deploys it into the cells. Once the technique is mature and well-understood, wouldn't it be much quicker to roll out vaccines for all sorts of things?
Thus increasing the cloudflare value-prop of anycast based load balancing.

I'm surprised spatial audio is a selling point for anyone on a product this expensive. Have you tried it? I have AirPods Pro and I spent £6 on a month of Disney+ just to try out the spatial audio feature when it came out (which already felt fairly ridiculous but what can I say, the HN comments were too enticing). I used it for 5 minutes, rotated my head around a bunch to maximize the effect, thought "hm, that's pretty neat" and then went on with my month never using it again. It really felt like a gimmick to me but I'm wondering if I'm missing something now...
On first take I thought this was satire. Looks like one of those fake mockups of new Apple products.
Honestly, I think XXX is an obsession is an aptitude or talent in itself.
Does anybody know if any product of "established professional audio companies" has built in "gyroscope and accelerometer" and can remap "the sound field so it stays anchored to the device, even as the user’s head moves"?

I guess some virtual reality headgear has something like that, but which audio headphones?

And which audio headphones of "established professional audio companies" have four microphones built in and the chip with "10 audio cores" to adapt? Including one microphone directed to the ear, not to the outside. I guess some could have something close to that, but which?

First to know if we compare apples and oranges, then to learn about the alternatives.
I think it is rather naive view. Audio market is an industry with professionals.

You can buy spare parts for 30-years old studio headphones. Apple with their "no repair allowed" business model and 500ms latency is a joke.
It's not the specific way of speaking that prevents panic. It's the training. It just happens that for a while pilots all wanted to sound like Chuck Yeager and then it just became the way new pilots talked because that's how all the other pilots they knew talked.
Perhaps paranoia on my part but this opens them up to deprecate that support whenever they feel like it.
All of them. I'd start with the first one, Dr No. It's like going through history.
And that comes for free?

It binds ressources. Lots of them. You even write "slowly". Meaning fortification is still effective.

While the enemy artillery is busy bombing stone, your troops can attack other targets from from other angles.
Spatial Audio also emulates having more than just stereo headphones. So, if the 5.1 soundtrack dictates that a sounds starts behind you and moves forward, SA will emulate that using software tricks.

It's a well executed feature with a extremely limited scope/use case. I would not base headphone purchasing decisions on its availability.
I imagine that like the Airpods they require an Apple device to take full advantage of all the features but they can still be used as a generic Bluetooth headset on other operating systems.
