Do AirPods Max support NFC for turning on and pairing? Sony supports it already since MDR-1000X (first-gen 1000-series), and it's the best thing since sliced bread.
You can also get both the Sony 1000XM4, the current best noise-cancelling overear wireless headphones, and the Sennheiser HD560s and still have $60 left.
Abuse. The message must be a DNS query, not arbitrary tor traffic.
wow, that latency is fantastic, how does it work?
Anybody trying to build a social network nowadays should have clear precise goals. Is it only to make money? Why not, but it should then be no surprise if things turn sour. Is it to “connect the world” ? The world is already connected and it is too vague, a slogan and nothing more, almost devoid of meaning.
Looks like soot. The post mentions there was a fire.

Because the majority of people who will buy these would have never have heard of Audeze or Beyerdynamic.
Yea, you can use it for COVID19 diagnostic tests. I did that back in April-ish for a project before they redirected the Nanopore reagents to commercial COVID testing.

Yes, it could be used to build a database, so long as you have a good amount of DNA from the person. Honestly, governments are already doing this with Illumina runs, so no diff there really.

It immediately generates runs, and tapers off at about 12-24 hours, and using a full flow cell takes like 48. How long you run it for depends on depth of reads.

Flongle flow cells cost $99 and approximately $200 at end of day and minion flow cells cost about $1000, with minion being about 10x as good as flongle. The primary cost is definitely consumables, the capex for these devices is very low.
No, surround sound is a different thing.

This actively makes it seem like the sound is coming from a certain place, even though you have headphones on.
Apollo Studio: A GraphQL IDE for every environment
I think the point he’s trying to make that if he needed to buy a pair of headphones he would buy these.
I *did not* / will *not* test:

Phone calls & SMS / MMS functionality

I haven’t bothered plugging them into a display.

Email (...) I’ve been too lazy to try setting this up

Cameras

GPS / location

Anyone who expected an article like "I actually tested those phones in real life and will tell if they are actually suitable as phones", don't expect.

(Article is not empty, does mentions how these machines behave on the GUI side, data-only SIM, web browsing, music, charging.)
> offering better sound

That's a bit presumptive. You don't know how these sound, yet. HD660S is based on 650S from the 2000s. Knowing Apple, they were able to innovate a bit here, so let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

That having said, I also don't expect them to sound better than any of which you mentioned.
Saving others the time: this link doesn't cover any Apple headsets.
Yeah, I'm quite surprised too.

I've been lurking here for at least 10 years and consider this to be the best place to discuss everything openly. But this sensivity to question anything related to vaccine is beyond ridiculous. Even asking what the side effects are like OP did gets you downvoted.

And by the way, I will take the vaccine asap because of my health issues, but this doesn't mean we can't even ask questions about it.
>Note that DoH (and DoT) shipped in iOS 14 and Big Sur, though aren't particularly easy to enable.

Specifically, you must install a properly configured .mobileprofile with HTTPS/TLS in the DNSSettings > DNSProtocol part of the payload (along with DNS server addresses of course). Merely pointing at a DoH/DoT supporting DNS server in the settings GUI won't do it, the OS doesn't do any probing and automatically use it just because it's available. For applications DNS Settings is covered under the Network Extension framework [0].

It's definitely nice Apple now has this built-in, and since they're onboard with Cloudflare/Fastly maybe this new twist will be pretty fast too. But obviously they're going to have to make this more automated for it to really make a widespread difference, ideally it'd simply see if the supplied DNS server (manual or DHCP) could run DoH/DoT and then just use it by default with no interaction required.

Bought airpods, they worked great

Bought airpods pro, love the noise cancelling sound, think they sound great (to me)

Bought homepod, sounds great

As a customer, I just trust that Apple will not put out a crap product in this price range. It may be missing a headphone jack or some audio balancing features that audiogeeks will care about. I trust that they will sound very good (to my average ears), good good and most importantly have a great resale value if I get bored with them

They will also make a great gift for the people on my list that have everything
Defective, poor service: taxi company wants 1.3M euros from Tesla
I dunno. You and I know what Sennheiser headphones are, but does Joe?

I expect Apple wants to market these to people looking for fancier Beats.
Why only borderline? It is a market that preys on delusion.
(paraphrased)

"I know nothing about the subject..."

"Not gonna learn about other options..."

"Apple doesn't disappoint me..."

"I'll buy the overpriced stuff because I can afford it..."

This Apple-blinkers comment is telling, and refreshingly honest.

I'm sure there are other brands with that sort of attachment, but none that exemplify the phenomenon more.
Also, wooden tires wouldn't have much traction. Most (all?) vehicles at this time were not in any way self-propelled. They were pulled or pushed along by an horse, human or other power source. Anyone that's ridden a big wheel can attest that traction is difficult using hard materials for tires.
You are the human embodiment of hacker news
While it's still going to be a very real number, I think you are overestimating the number of deaths considerably. I appreciate that you provided a link, but I don't think that source includes the information you would need to make the estimate you are looking for.

First, I think that you are implicitly assuming that there are an equal number of people in each age category. In addition to the percentages you quote, you also need to know the percentage of the population per age range. Second, the "case" rate is the not the same as the "infection" rate, as it only includes confirmed cases. It's usually assumed that for each confirmed case, there is some unknown multiple of this number of infected individuals.

Eyeballing the chart here (and realizing that Santa Clara might not match these numbers, and guessing equal number in the relevant 5 year age ranges) a better estimate of the death rate for the 40-60 year old group is probably something around .15%: https://www.acsh.org/news/2020/11/18/covid-infection-fatalit...

Same experience with IE bug-reporting here. I reported a bug in May 2015, put up a little example page in order to show them the problem:

http://bjarneh.github.io/ie/index.html

Strange bug where input fields added to the DOM containing non-ASCII characters (whether you escape them or not) trigger 'input' events. So the example page loaded in IE will already have triggered 2 'input' events, since the last 2 input-elements contain the letter 'å' (escaping it as &aring; makes no difference).

After getting through the trouble of submitting the bug, nothing happened. About 6 months later I got an email saying the ticket was closed; as they were not able to reproduce the bug. The bug is still here today 5 years later.
if you are looking for an over the ear, top notch, bluetooth headset, i would recommend the Sony's XM4. i have a pair, they are amazing -- the noise cancelling is so good, it kind of gives me a bit of vertigo.
As it stated in the article, ISPs tracking and selling the data.

Exactly that, no more, no less.
Aligning doesn’t, but basecalling seriously does. The best base callers are still big machine learning models that take quite good GPUs
In my view the audiophile £500+ Ethernet cables are more than borderline fraud.
I think it is a minority who honestly think they are helpful that are delegitimizing the cause. Most women (and men) just want to get on with their lives. Thus they are not a member of any feminist groups, sometimes they notice things that are "not right", but nothing is important enough to get a large voice behind it.

Things can be fixed by protest. However the risk is people get tired of the shouting and ignore you. Most women don't see this as time to shout - don't take that as there are no problems, just that the problems need a different approach.
You know how I easily switch my audio across devices? I unplug and plug in. That simple. I am still using my panasonic headphones from 12 years ago. I got them for $120.
Where does it say that they only work with Apple products?
I own Bose QC35II, and they definitely have a button to switch between paired devices. They do the switch automatically based on whether the sound is playing on your devices, but if both devices are playing audio at the same time you need to switch them manually by pushing the switch to Bluetooth position once (if you push and hold it goes into pairing mode, but pushing and releasing it quickly does the toggle).
I can't find any source on intra working to prevent SNI sniffing. The page itself only mentions DNS, and Googling doesn't reveal any other source for that.

These are not professional reference headphones. The goal isn’t predictable EQ for mixing music that will be played on a huge range of outputs. These are consumer headphones that provide wealth and status signaling for the wearer with enough audiophile “reasons” to pretend that is not the case.

I have the DT 770 Pro, which I'm not sure they still make anymore, and it has been a ten year love affair. I am reliably informed that you can, as the grandparent says, replace most parts of them, but I have never needed to - they are very, very robust. Mine do look a little dog-eared but honestly nothing most people would worry about. And, obviously, they sound great.
Because it's an insanely overvalued stock with questionable accounting and a retail cult following. No bank wants to pitch it to clients with whom they'll work again, but dumping it on the market makes sense, retail will gobble it up.
I still have doubts, 1.1.1.1 was a clear power grab and effort to control more of the internet. DoH in partnership with Mozilla was an extension of that

AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT Review – with overclocking and undervolting
My Bose QC35's connect to both my Macbook & my iPhone at the same time. Hit play on either one, and sound comes out. Listening to something on my laptop and someone calls? It rings and I can answer.

I'm sure the AirPods Max will be pretty awesome in its own way though.
> better sound

Technically we don't know that yet. I mean, I'm not impressed with the price/value of e.g. Beats, so I'm not super hopeful, but I'll still withhold judgment until the reviews are in.
If you have built up a successful business and want to grow it further and take it to the next level, one tactic is to seek venture capital funds. Venture capitalists are savvy investors and they usually have a long-term horizon.
My $350 Bose QC35s connect to both my iPhone and Mac Pro. Seemlessly.
I want to agree with you, but the US is the only 1-st world country in the top of the list of countries by homicide rate per capita:
https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/indicators/VC.IHR.PSRC.P5/r...

Which pretty much is in line with what I get about US through my news feed and anecdotally.

I don't know why, but there is definitely something wrong with US culture of normalized violence. And the police is just a reflection of that, reaction if you will.
Events like this are a gold mine for opportunistic policy makers and think tanks.

The initial read on Ted Kazinsky was flat wrong. He was practically manufactured. I’d like to know more about the origins of Brenton Tarrant.

Both took the time to write lengthy manifestos which, if you read, were more than what you’d get from a YouTube binge. Ted, was, somewhat of an original thinker. Tarrant less so. Fascinating.
At that valuation of 600B the assumption is that they’ll be more profitable than all the other leading car companies combined!

Their current valuation is not justified by even the most optimistic projections IMO, though their holistic view of energy should help (they can become a lifestyle brand, not just a car company), but it’ll take a decade to grow into this valuation. Even Musk thought it was overvalued and said so twice this year when it was worth a lot less.

As you say that makes this the perfect time to raise (again).
Take your virtue signaling elsewhere, Prophet Amos. That incident was evidence that the city does not care about the quality of life of its residents (both the non-homeless, who are expected to suck it up and grin, and the homeless, who probably haven't been given any psychiatric treatment or any sort of intervention whatsoever by the state); it was not about blaming poor people.
You, the proxy, and the DNS service, can be in 3 different countries. It's not bullet proof but makes it quite hard for a single government. Unless you are a Bond villain I think this is more than you need.

If you need more than that use ToR or similar.
> Honestly, I don't understand why you would buy these when there are a lot of established professional audio companies offering better sound at a cheaper price.

Have you tried them? How do they sound? Do you have a time machine that takes you to Dec. 15?
Wayyyy at the bottom:

AirPods Max require Apple devices running iOS 14.3 or later, iPadOS 14.3 or later, macOS Big Sur 11.1 or later, watchOS 7.2 or later, or tvOS 14.3 or later.
Copyright is theft of my natural ability to copy things. And now that I have a machine that can do it for me for almost zero marginal cost, I really don't want laws designed for a world of physical publishing to be applied on the digital world.
Plasmid sequencing is what I’m using it for. Nanopore is the only technology (other than Pacbio) that you can solve the indexing problem with, which MASSIVELY lowers the cost per sample. Approximately $14 down to $2, which a LOT less manual work (or a lot less robot work)

With plasmids, you can also train custom models to get better alignment results.

It’s insane that nobody else I know of is doing this, since it actually works quite well!
I feel like they have to got to be releasing a new Apple TV with support for spatial audio soon, if not today. Airpods Max, Fitness+, like come on

It varies by state but I expect most will at least roughly follow CDC guidelines. There will probably be variance in who is considered essential and who gets it after essential works, at risk, and 65+. At least some places are looking to start vaccinate younger people who are more likely to spread and only then do other older age groups.
What is the purpose of encrypting just the values and not the keys? If you need to run the file through sops to decrypt the values before using it, why not just encrypt the entire file?

> 1) Not enough Mac users which would be significant for a AAA gaming company to port their games on day 1 and get profit.

I am a huge apple portable fan Macs, iPhones, iPads etc. However like a lot of people who casually play video games I also have a Switch and a PC with a nice RTX 2070.

Apple is dead last on my chain of gaming machines. A lot of people I know with Macs also have a console or PC that serves as the gaming machine(s).
Completely expected for Apple. Look at the top of the mass market, copy their features, embed it in the iOS ecosystem, make the case white and silver, charge 25% premium.
Physicists Nail Down the “Magic Number” That Shapes the Universe
It's perfectly possible to use an LGPL library for commercial purposes (and lots of companies do). There's just some criteria you have to follow like allowing end-users to re-link their own version of the library and giving back any code changes made to the library itself (which in my experience it was never necessary to make any patches to Qt itself). Whether that extra burden is worth it vs. just paying for a commercial license is up to the individual company.
After my experience with the gen 1 pods that I bought for exclusively for SITTING ON HOLD that never worked right (crackly, pairing sucks, won't wake up, etc.), no way in hell will I give apple any of my money.
I HATE the standard Bluetooth experience. If reviews show choosing and switching devices is a better experience with these headphones, that’s worth paying something extra for.
Sadly, I think many people get it, they just don't care.
That's not moving the goalposts, those are the goalposts. Anyone can make a car that loops round a racetrack by itself, on a good day (well, not anyone, but it's relatively straightforward). The challenge is making it robust against "the real world".
Some time in the future - maybe nothing. Right now - all current and future doses for many months (if not years) are accounted for in existing contracts. Selling the doses to private parties, especially at 10x markup would be a huge PR disaster and invitation to AGs to open investigations.
I guess it might surprise you to learn that China is a big place capable of manufacturing both high quality and cheaper, low quality products,

There’s a really interesting Netflix documentary American Factory that depicts one particular example, and puts on display a lot of the complicated factors you’re talking about. But the interesting thing is after like 2 years of training and tweaking processes, the American location of this auto glass factory just can’t for the life of them produce a product as high quality as the Chinese factory.

See also: most other Apple products, for more examples of high quality things manufactured in China.

Also, call me crazy but why should I care about random Midwestern Americans any more than random Chinese people I’ve never met? Globalization has raised an astounding number of people in China out of poverty in the past 20 years which is an amazing feat.

Not wanting to support the country because of the governments human rights abuses is totally fair, but you seem to be mixing that in as just one reason among all the other protectionist rhetoric.

Lastly, to pretend that companies are giant infinite pools of money that are choosing to hold out on everyone is just silly. If they were to manufacture things in more expensive places, then you’d be looking at $700 headphones instead of $550. If you’d rather support other companies, then great, do that! That’s the beauty of having so many choices.
Google Look to Speak
Part of the counter-argument that has been so prevalent on HN (most recently: [0]) is that when you prevent middlemen on your network from being able to see what website you're browsing, you're doing exactly that: preventing anyone, even a trusted network administrator, from being able to inspect traffic. I'm all for DoH and ECH since US ISPs have a history of inspecting and logging traffic, but it seems like there should be a way to manage the devices on your network besides being forced to set up MDM on everything.

As a society, we learned a lot of creepy lessons from Orwell's 1984. But we didn't learn the positive lesson - a society needs a controlled way for rebelling for the sake of rebelling.

Heavy metal, punks, hippies.. What's up today? Now it gets harder and harder to rebel as more and more things are becoming "normal". So people go more extreme.

Soon biggest rebellion will be to do nothing "rebellious". Go to school, don't party too much, stick to classic conservative ideas, maybe go to church (or equivalent), dress in a shirt and jeans, go for family/kids/house with a white fence.
I've been thinking of YouTube as a great deradicalisation tool, because it tends to show that "they" are way more like "us" than we tell ourselves.

Has anyone been thinking of ways to set up deradicalising rabbit holes? I guess the basic problem is "the algorithm" would tend to push viewers away from those kinds of burrows...

This only proves that millennials like technology ... but they don't really understand it ... or markets.

China controls over 60% of bitcoin mining. Effectively, they own the bitcoin network and can assume authoritarian control over it at any time they choose to do so.

Also, the crypto "exchanges" are opaque, unregulated black boxes --- nothing like the regulated stock and currency markets. In effect, this makes fraud and manipulation not only easy but likely.
