I grew up listening to music on $20 dollar earphones (taking into account inflation). In later life I've upped my limit to around $80. I thought that was extravagant.

I'm never going to come to grips with the concept of $500 headphones. It just seems insane.
Nice use of knitting, I wonder what the machine for that looks like.
It works both ways. I remember antennae-gate and bend-gate blowing up at the time. I had both phones and never had an issue with either. If I believed YouTube both my phones were garbage and going to break.

Can’t wait for my M1 air to come in.
Oh! I see now. I misunderstood what you were describing.

Yes, okay, I do sometime click through and look at each commit, I just never thought about default to that, or recommending it

Extra thanks!
Out of hundreds of thousands of treasure-hunters, over a decade, four or five people are said to have died while looking.

On average, 38 skiers and snowboarders die in the US each year ... 1600 go missing in wilderness areas ... 5000 die riding motorcycles. Treasure-hunting looks pretty safe. Feel free to hide in your home.
> Why are so many people upset by this?

They feel uncomfortable that the person above can shell that money on stuff that is slightly more than what they can afford. They then need to rationalise their decision that they made the best choice.

If I make $50 an hour, I am not going to waste 8+ hours searching and doing spreadsheets to figure out 'what is the best for the money' because I am already losing 50$ per hour. The new pair that is 'cheaper' costs as much as the device itself + as much as I 'paid' searching for it.

If it isn't my hobby, there is no reason to waste time on it.

I'd agree regarding the $1000 monitor stand not being targeted - but they're wireless headphones - Apple sells consumer electronics. of course they're targeted, at least for desirability (not so much price point)

And my reply was mainly to highlight the parent comment of

How do people say stuff like this before they even saw a single review or even hear it?
If you've never read it, his biography reads like an action movie starting Tom Cruise, but it is his real life story.

Seriously, this is an amazing book: https://www.amazon.com/Yeager-Autobiography-Chuck/dp/0553256...

He was a two time fighter ace in WWII and broke the speed of sound. He almost died in a crash once as well, but walked away with half of his face burned up. The guy was incredible.
That big XML file is just how libvirt represents a VM. If you create a VM using libvirt GUI, most of the XML is generated.

I made some tweaks based on level1 forums information, but most of that is auto generated by a GUI.
I've been eyeballing the AirPods Pro as well! I had a coworker who was using a pair for video conferencing, and recommended them at first - but eventually became repeatedly inconvenienced by the battery running out and having to change to a wired set.

Not sure if the problem could have been solved with more consistent charging - but it convinced me to stick with wired WFH drivers for now.

I'd still consider getting a pair for running if it wasn't for my environmental concerns wrt the rattling problems.
> It would not be difficult to assemble the same kind of narrative based on plentiful evidence of the same abstract psychological behavior, except from the radical left.

To be fair, I do think this is an underappreciated point. Despite the fact that I'm a leftist, I do see lots of misinformation coming from the left, and I've seen leftist facebook groups that quickly devolve into memes about killing landlords or other extremist drivel.

> I happened to read a BLM post on Medium once, and I now get a daily email of several blog posts that are at least as delusional as the above beliefs about how all white people are not just racist, but fundamentally and immutably racist.

Although I agree the left can spew out all kinds of BS, the difference here is that your example is lukewarm extremist content at best. This kind of content paints wild ideas but does not contest reality or directly incite weird actions. Here's some examples of what I mean:

* (contesting reality) My family member who reads GNews will sometimes randomly start conversations with absolutely out-there tidbits of misinformation like "oh my god, did you know JFK Jr is still alive? I just saw a video that proved it"

* (inciting actions) My family member who reads GNews went out of her way to acquire HCQ as a "just in case", and also tried to convince family members in China who had a fever (unconfirmed covid) to take it without even seeing a doctor. At some point she considered taking HCQ as a preventative for covid despite being being at nearly 0 risk of exposure (never going outside)

> I often wonder if politicians and forum/media commentators are completely oblivious to this notion, or if they are aware of it but have some sort of a "the ends justify the means" thing going on.

I strongly suspect this is the case.
It's likely that "historic moment" is quoted as Powis said those particular words.

The vaccines would be a current and global talking point. It's natural that the first post-testing vaccines would be a significant moment, that someone involved would feel it was of historic note, and that a publication would use that phrasing to accentuate the story's weight.

It's the/a major story on every news site I checked this evening.
Interesting that you had three eligible patients - I wonder if that is repeated across the hospital, how many eligible inpatients are there likely to be out of each batch of vaccines?

It sounds like it might be a struggle to find enough people to give it to once each container is opened.
No comparison for a variety of reasons least of which being that a lot of this propaganda reaches a lot of the older folks as well.
That was a test pilot thing, not a (specifically) Chuck Yeager thing.

How do you know competitors offer better sound at a cheaper price? Do you own these?
You forgot that Apple owns Bose whose R&D is well-respected albeit a little controversial in the audiophile community. Their focus in the last decade was getting high-quality sound with middling commodity hardware and good software. Given that it's not surprising they're a good match for Apple.

Edit: Looked it up and apparently Apple's buyout was an April Fools joke some years ago. I've definitely talked about it on HN before and I'm surprised nobody's corrected me until now.
>Overall, individuals with dark traits engage in more counterproductive work behaviour, such as theft and abusive supervision. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they don’t end up with higher average incomes than their peers with light personalities.

>The key factor here seems to be empathy: the capacity to resonate with – and understand the perspective of – the emotional experiences of others. Individuals with light personality traits show a great deal of empathy for others, while those with dark personality traits tend to show very little. In our new research, we found that this seems to be what leads to a more satisfying life. Similarly, being prosocial – acting kindly, cooperatively and with compassion toward others – is also significantly linked with higher wellbeing.

Maybe the comparison between "dark traits" and "light personalities" yields this, but its been shown pretty consistently that higher agreeableness (more empathy) has a negative effect on salary, primarily for women. https://www.jstor.org/stable/41343711?seq=1

Also, the framing of this article between essentially low agreeableness and high agreeableness as dark and light is awful. There are advantages and disadvantages to being high or low in this trait, and the framing that being high in it is what's more desirable makes me doubt how seriously whoever wrote this takes their work.
Official CentOS/RHEL is more like Debian Stable.

The new CentOS "Stream" sounds like it will be more like Debian Testing.
The last thing I want with my audio is some bullshit "computational experience" fucking with things and telling me what I want to hear.

Mainstream taste in audio is crap. Designing headphones for a target audience that thinks Spotify HQ mode is sufficient is not going to produce a very good product, audio-quality-wise.
I mean, Qt doesn’t have any native widgets for any OS (to the best of my knowledge and unless things have changed). They just have “skins” for their own widgets that mimic (sometimes successfully) the underlying platform’s native widgets. So all you’re really asking for is a new theme, unless you really meant “native” in which case the answer is no.
Qt is GPL and LGPLv3[0]; gtk is LGPLv2[1]. Is there that much difference?

The DNS server sees (deciphers) the DNS query, but not the client IP address.

It's a proxy, but with the sensible data encrypted with the server's public keys to hide it from the proxy. Cloudflare never knows who is sending the requests. How can they get access to the data?

She is indeed the first person to get the "vaccine." The material that those in the trials received is usually being referred to as a "vaccine candidate" because it haven't passed the trials and it isn't officially approved for anything but the trials. During the randomized trials, until the data are evaluated nobody is even supposed to know who received the tested substance and who received placebo. Many people in the trials received placebo and still became infected. Some died. Outside of trials, we know that one and half million people died while the development and the trials had to be done and there weren't no vaccines at all. And eventually, not all vaccine candidates pass all the trials.

So it is definitely an event of historical significance that should be celebrated. A lot had to be done right so that all of us can now talk about this.

> Apple Beats for example are a bit of a joke to anyone who knows anything about audio (and I don't mean people who spend $$$ on cables).

That's the thing, will people who know nothing about audio be disappointed by Apple Beats?
Gotta own the Apple fanboys.
If you're a fan of Philip Glass but haven't explored the works of Steve Reich I highly recommend it
The new M1-powered Macbook Air would beg to differ.
My main problems are:

* I don't like when laptops get (too) hot on your lap

* Due to a medical condition 144Hz is now the minimum

* And my eyes definitely prefer larger screens

So I have an HP Omen 15 but I may return it. (I can play older games without getting too warm, but the screen is really good, but not excellent. The barrel port power on the side bothers me about 5 times a day.) And I have a Legion 5 17" on order... which may never arrive. (In which case I hope I still have the Omen.) In either case, the battery life isn't going to be great doing non-gaming things though.

But a friend has the G14 and loves it!
I think I trust Phillip Glass a bit more than that.
Every argument in this article could be made by saying "Whites" or "Males" and be considered racist and or sexist. Somehow combination of these two attributes creates an acceptable minority to scape. I wonder why?
I did recently (in the before times) watch a simulcast of Akhnaten at a local theater, which I quite enjoyed. Does that count?

Each device has a native place you select the Airpods from (MacOS: sound menu; iOS: the playback widget in the Control Center). Still a menu, but a little easier to going into the bluetooth menu.
My assumption they talk about milliampHOURS
Hi guys! We’re David and Janis, co-founders of Typewise based in Switzerland. We’ve created a keyboard designed for smartphones. Conventional smartphone keyboards use the same layout as a typewriter, which was developed for 10-finger typing. How can a layout that was designed 200 years ago work well on a small smartphone screen?

That’s why we built a hexagonal keyboard that focuses on utilizing your two thumbs as the main tools of typing. Why hexagonal, you may ask? Well, conventional keyboards have the issue that their keys are small, resulting in a lot of typos. A recent study by Cambridge University and ETH Zurich found that 1 of 5 words written on smartphones contains typos (https://userinterfaces.aalto.fi/typing37k/). Hexagon shapes resemble our fingerprints, enabling a more comfortable typing experience that results in 4X fewer typos (using the above-mentioned typing test as comparison).

Another point about the keyboard is to protect user privacy. Most keyboard apps get access to all sorts of data, incl. GPS location or browser history, which can be very problematic. Many keyboards have been banned as a result of this overreach and abuse. Our entire keyboard, including the AI algorithms, are private-by-design, and no typing data ever leaves the device. To achieve same or even better text predictions than data-collecting alternatives such as Gboard, we’re working with top AI engineers from ETH Zurich as part of a Swiss government-funded research project. The first results will be available in early 2021 (they’ll be awesome, promised).

Which smartphone keyboard do you use? Is this something you see as an improvement? What features do you enjoy most in a smartphone keyboard? What other elements of our daily typing experience should be rethought for the digital age? What do you think of the privacy issues surrounding smartphone keyboards?

We hope you guys give it a spin. Let us know what you think, we are eager to hear your feedback
>"Apple is high quality."

Of course it is. But so is Sennheiser. People pay for the quality of Apple, but it's only part of the equation.
Prof Stephen Powis - the guy mentioned in the same sentence.

You can see the convention continues in the very next paragraph:

Philip Glass is constantly described as avant-garde. You may take issue with that label, but I hardly see how it can be surprising.
I agree. He was required reading in several of my music degree courses
"""A key component of ODoH working properly is ensuring that the proxy and the DNS resolver never “collude,” in that the two are never controlled by the same entity, otherwise the “separation of knowledge is broken"""

Yes, you really want to be at the mercy of some set of third parties, each one capable of bringing your business down. The more, the better.

None of them will ever abuse that dependency to take all of your profit. No, sir.
You might be able to hear the difference and you might be able to say with confidence that the $500 ones sound better.

But 10x better? If you want to spend that extra $450 and can afford it then fine but that kind of price gradient sticks in my gullet.

Having been a Debian/Ubuntu person for a long time, and being somewhat dissatisfied with that ecosystem, I recently started evaluating CentOS for my use cases instead. I want something with a non-rolling update model, so I don't have to deal with my environment changing out from under me.

CentOS 8 had been mostly working well for me, barring a few missing packages that were easy to port over myself, and I was really thinking of moving all my boxes to CentOS. I'm glad this news came out before I did; I don't know what I'll use instead, but it definitely won't be CentOS/RHEL.
Not really, as bonds are printed and bought quite rapidly, the FED has QE infinity policy at this point, and a big part of the money goes to the stock market
The fcc will have something to say about that. They've already banned rules against antennas and sat dishes for TV.
Sounds like something that AppImage is perfectly suited for, given that each application is a one-click executable with automatic updating built-in and can optionally provide a predictable execution environment although it's not a container.

In one particular case, I packaged up Mirrors Edge into an AppImage with the AppRun script taking care to setup the environment and WINE. It worked surprisingly well.
> Beats are widely considered to be overpriced for their audio quality.

Sound quality is also subjective at a certain level. Not everyone wants flat sound like an audio engineer. I like bassy music and headhphones (which the Beats are known to be).

Now, Beats may still be overpriced since they crossed into fashion, but I'm not a fan of this blanket talk about sound quality like it's always objective.
"But Facebook uses it"

Since Facebook actually uses kernels from Fedora Rawhide (necessary for btrfs support I guess), their systems are nowhere near the CentOS you and I would use.
Good list, but is it still being actively updated? Not having Kleppmann’s seminal Designing Data-Intensive Applications (2017) on it would indicate no.

Alex Petrov’s Database Internals: A Deep Dive Into How Distributed Data Systems Work (2019) is another essential recent reference that should be here. Not as broad as Kleppmann but dives a lot deeper into certain topics.

He has flaws. It's fine to recognize that. We all have flaws though and it's unrealistic to expect perfect opinions from anyone. Who decides what perfect is anyway?

I absolutely think there is something to learn from his approach, though I think he has much in common with other highly successful people. My old boss actually had a similar attitude and she accomplished amazing things in her life. In the same way the person you replied to was describing, she would say she was going to do something and people would go "yeah sure." And then she would do them. It seemed like bullshit, then it was real.

First and foremost, it's not about money or opportunity, those are just amplifiers. Without the money it wouldn't be Mars, it would be a local bike co-op. The magic is in an attitude that is low on fear, high on hope, unconcerned what others will think, and always reaching for the most awesome outcome, right on the edge of what seems possible. My old boss had a moment where her son had just started working mall retail, then suddenly he was meeting the CEO and becoming a brand ambassador. She said "he's starting to realize he can do awesome shit," like she was Obi-wan teaching Luke about the force. Most people have set an artificial cap on their potential and accomplishments by believing that the world is a harsh and shit place and that something truly good happening is an impossibility. And then all the opportunities to change their world in big and small ways sail right on past them.

Put another way, I think it's about learning how to be a creator of new realities and not just living in other people's realities.
I doubt that very many of the women passengers on board the Titanic were objecting to the chauvinism inherent in "women and children first". In time of life-or-death crisis, if you don't have a "women and children first" ethic, you will most likely have an "every man for himself" attitude, in which case you will end up with a very male-favorable survival rate, as bigger and yes physically stronger men shove women and children out of the way to get to the lifeboats.

It works like that for companies with normal, fundamentals based valuation. Tesla stock is hype driven meme stock for last few years, and it’s very plausible that even a huge raise would result in stock price going up. It’s a huge party like it’s 1920s again.
Because the best headphones are the ones you use the most. You won’t need a portable amp to make the sound better. This is the same analogy on how the best camera is the one you have on you, and the iPhone camera does not suck.

Unrelated anecdote, but I once went to a 3 hour John Cage concert. Genuinely awful, and about as thought provoking as a piece of cardboard.

That was avant-garde, apparently.
It really wasn't intended to come across as an argument, thats why one isn't present. I don't think this is really a problem easily fixed (short of overhauling the ethos of consumerism). I was just curious if the commenter thought the "high end audio gear" market was distinct for some reason.
There is a wealth of information available online about these vaccines. If someone comes along and says "I dunno, this thing that could end our civilization-altering event might be bad" is someone who has no real interest in the safety of the vaccine. If they did, they would not be trolling on HN, they would be reading and informing themselves.
There's also a strong political reason for the US to not approve the vaccine as fast.

Fauci had to walk back[0] comments about the UK "rushing" the approval, stating

"The point that I was really trying to make [...] in the United States there is such a considerable amount of tension of pushing back on the credibility of the safety and of the efficacy that if we in the United States had done it as quickly as the UK did [...] that if we had for example had approved it yesterday or tomorrow there would have been push-back on an already scrutinising society that has really in some respects in the United States too much scepticism about the process."
