What an odd comment.

Because Apple released a product recently that received excellent reviews, all Apple products are assumed to be good? All Apple products come out of the unit that produces their processors. All Apple products are owned by the teams responsible for their Macbook / Airbook lines. All Apple products can achieve whatever innovations that occurred with the M1 chip.
Indeed, burn-in tests almost feel anecdotal because they involve no more than several TVs. We don't have the MTTF type numbers for pixels like we demand for hard drives.

The problem with contrast is more pronounced on my OLED tv than on my HDR LED monitor. I've also noticed on my TV if I watch netflix with standard size subtitles, the brightness overwhelms the lower part of the image on dark TV shows. I suspect this is less of an issue on LED monitors only because the contrast is not so extreme.

Again, all anecdotes. I do like OLED though, enough to make it my priority TV feature.
> There will be side effects

Everything in life has side effects. Everything in life has trade offs. It's not about the lack of side effects or even their magnitude or severity, it's about balance: do they help more than they harm?

Many of the arguments people make about modern medicine are:

A) uninformed

B) not made in good faith

Modern medicine is serving us quite well, so any counter argument better be rock solid.

I'd be curious what your specific complaint is and how you back it up.
I took a similar feeling away from this comment. It reads like someone who feels the need to defend a top down model of control. In my experience, these models are really more about perception management and creating the illusion of productivity while a lot of developer talent under their umbrella is wasted. I might be a bit jaded, but I honestly think a lot of the popular "agile" methodologies of today are directly responsible for the commonality of software bugs and glitches in production code. Most devs today will never get to experience a feeling of ownership over the technology they ultimately produce.
Be Curious is maybe the first step. I’m not a big reader but I’m frequently curious and end up reading a lot because of it. I also look for the shortest path to info gathering. If I can read an article instead of a book. Or a list instead of an article. I’m all for it. If something piques a further curiosity, I can always find more content.
Very disappointing, since I based my OS decision on their support cycle, which has now been thrown out the window. Guess that I will be going back to Debian again

I have an older pair of Sony MDr-100ABNs and they handle transitioning from music on my laptop to voice calls from my phone fairly seamlessly but only because I've disable the headset profile on my laptop AND I have to ensure I connect to my laptop first so my phone doesn't steal the media profile.

My partner has new WH-XB900Ns and they do not seem to suffer this issue but will only play output from one device at a time.

I would be willing to pay a premium for headphones that could maintain active connections between multiple devices simultaneously and mux the audio into a unified stream.

> Not everyone wants flat sound like an audio engineer.

That's what equalizers are for. The point of your speakers/headphones being as flat as possible isn't because it's the inherently best experience for everyone, it's because it's the most flexible experience. You can take a good set of flat headphone and ram the bass through the roof - it'll still sound great. You can't really do the reverse. You can try to equalize a bass-heavy headphone into something more neutral, but the result is worse overall, and a lot more finicky as a user.

I've found this frustrating, but understandable? I don't know.

I shipped a laptop to a new employee, paid $250 for shipping. It got there three days after it was supposed to. It sucks to pay so much for weak service, and like no visibility into what's happening. I'm honestly surprised at this point none of the carriers haven't introduced some sort of estimate based on ML rather than their delivery standards. It seems like they should have enough data points by now.

Does this control for people actually getting measles? I.e., are the incidences of disease less after removing the people who got measles who didn't receive the MMR vaccine? Measles is known to strip the immune system of much of its memory, rendering people who have had it susceptible to all sorts of diseases they used to have protection against. I would not be surprised at all if this led to a large outcome differential for the vaccinated and unvaccinated, even if only a few of the unvaccinated caught measles.

Contract tracing != "gathering evidence of transmission in any particular location/context."

Instead, please think of it as "one of the most powerful, non-medicinal, mechanisms for interrupting disease transmission."

It accomplishes this through its overt actions: attempting to alter the behavior of potential and exposed contacts by encouraging quarantining for an appropriate length of time and to get tested if symptoms develop.
It seems that if you do that, you will not get any updates, including security updates?

All non taxpayer funded entities operate with similar requirements for funding of deferred benefits such as defined benefit pensions.

See Pension Protection Act of 2006 and Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006.

USPS had a pass for a long time and get passed back and forth as government and non government for political purposes, but if you don't have access to the federal government's money printing abilities, there's no reason you should not be subject to funding requirements.
Whenever I see something like this I always wonder how we came to allow website authors to dictate how their content is displayed on other people's computers.

Utterly different scenario. Toyota was not a "too-big-to-fail" US defense contractor, and thus there was not a domestic entity allowing Toyota to police itself on engineering practices that should have oversight.

I'm not convinced that relationship has changed that much due to this debacle, so I remain skeptical of Boeing and its products, as well as the FAA to give correct oversight over the long term.
The title sounds generic, but the article makes it clear that it's responding to specific proposed uses of Kafka.
No, we're not. We agree that police barging into homes with guns drawn and shooting people is a problem. We violently disagree about the solution: I think we should disarm most police, eliminate qualified immunity, have states license police officers, and require police officers to carry insurance. 'Fountainofage wants to eliminate search warrants.
Usually you have the gun up, but not aimed up (eg at the top few stairs but not above them), otherwise you're blocking your view of threats that are crouched or prone if you have the gun fully up and aimed at a standing adult torso level.

Why wouldn't this be appropriate when clearing a building with unknown threats when dealing with an uncooperative person? The only way it leads to unnecessary injuries is if the officers don't make a proper identification of a threat/non-threat, which can happen with the gun in other positions too.

This type of search wouldn't have been necessary anyways if she had complied immediately. They would have normally asked everyone to exit before doing their search, but once the suspect has been uncooperative and they gain entry they need to be proactive about the search to avoid evidence destruction or suspect fortifications given the suspect's actions. Now had she opened the door quickly, I would agree that the actions would not have been appropriate because you're supposed to clear the building by voluntary means first. In this case, the suspect's family declined that voluntary option by not complying.
The Tiktok ban is predicated on national security concerns. I guarantee that whatever precedent that sets will be deemed to not apply to FB and Google.

Brian Burgess is a political operative, not a journalist.

The State of Florida has all of her email correspondence at work and after firing her for insubordination the best evidence they can offer from a person they allege is such a terrible human being is that she sent an email that said "that's a wrong call" and then complying with the request.

As far as I can tell Jones' work since her firing has been fine and that the Governor felt the need to use his platform smear her just bolsters her credibility, as does this absurd police action at her house.
How many homeless people have you met in SF? I've talked 1:1 with about 3, and in all three cases the people refused ample help due to 1) not wanting to go to rehab or 2) paranoid schizophrenia, which the city won't deal with to avoid civil rights problems.

Boiling everything down to 'homelessness means society is selfish' is over simplifying an incredibly complicated problem. There are things that can be done, but it requires a lot more thought than holding hands and handing out free stuff. SF is probably the least selfish city on the planet, which is arguably part of the problem.

Yes, that’s what I am thinking. I can imagine hundreds of security researchers writing a proof of concept to report this “feature” as a security problem to GitHub’s bug bounty program.
Active noise cancellation necessarily loses fidelity because it's imperfect technology. Passive 30db of noise reduction is a lot better. Likewise, cramming your entire DAC into one little chip is also a recipe for decreasing output quality.

As to quality, Shure IEMs are very close to as good as it gets, so even in the best case, apples cans wouldn't be better (though the speaker in their teardown doesn't look too good).
Sadly, SVG still doesn't let you pause the animation, let alone copy-and-paste embedded text.

Given the number of Github projects that want terminal "demonstrations", I'm surprised Github hasn't just provided first-party support for it (with e.g. a fancy renderer for script(1) code-embeds, that would play back the script session by writing regular DOM text nodes; and which would give you transport controls to pause, scrub through, skip around, etc.)

While they're at it, they could also allow embedding of some kind of slide-deck format. Using GIFs for slides has all the same problems. (Hopefully nothing as fancy/complex as PPT; more like a basic-PostScript-profile PDF renderer, that would auto-carousel through the PDF's pages, until you begin interacting with it.)
The average document size hasn't increased in the last 30 years, though, did it? But hardware is several orders of magnitude faster.
This is definitely not the case, you can bundle it with commercial software without an issue.

The upgrade pricing is still straight robbery. It's $400 to go from 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD to 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD.

The M1 Macs really just continue Apple's traditional pricing - the base model & price is fine, but the upgrades that you're almost certainly going to want are ludicrously priced and oh hey all the user-upgradability (or any post-purchase upgrades) was removed would you look at that what a total coincidence.
Still unconstitutional, and unfair to poor people, but NY takes so much in taxes already, so maybe they would get away with that.
During that year, if I ate meat nothing would happen right away. Then the itching would start, from my ankles and working its way up as my whole body broke out in hives. After the first attack, I took it crazy seriously (discovering I had this involved going to the ER at 2 AM not breathing!), so the most that happened during that year was that I got some hives and then slammed a double-dose of Benadryl, which knocked it back (and knocked me out). Fortunately once I knew I had it, I could mostly avoid it, so the only times I had reactions were when I missed something (e.g. get a burrito and they accidentally slip a piece of beef in with the chicken). I carried an epi-pen for emergencies and a sheet of Benadryl tablets; never had to use the epi-pen (thank goodness!). No medications to take in the meantime, just dietary changes.

The protein that causes this is only produced by mammals, so chicken and fish were totally safe. Weirdly, primates don't produce it either, so my allergist joked that if I were into eating monkeys or cannibalism, I'd be totally fine!

They still don't know why it clears up in some people and not others--in some, it goes away in a matter of weeks, some people it can take a year or multiple years, and in others it never disappears at all. And having had it, I'm apparently susceptible to getting it again, so if I get another tick bite it could come back again.
Wait, I thought that open source was the panacea? Why are they switching away from it? Maybe if they used GPL they would have done better?

It is as if people were exploiting their ideological free labor for personal benefits... weird how the real world works...

Fully warranted caution.

You cannot expect they would not do the same bait and switch as with android without a legally binding pledge.

And even then, I bet Sundar will try to wiggle around it.

There is a clear repeating pattern in what he does:

"Google does not store geographic information of AGPS requests" — It did.

"Google will never attempt to block adblock from Android store" — It did.

"Google never shares your cellphone network data" — It did!

Clearly, he lies, and does it very intentionally.
I would just put the ledger in a database table if it's that important and maintain the current state of the account in a separate table. ACID transactions and database constraints make this kind of consistency easier to achieve than many alternatives. It's also easier to prove correctness since you can run queries that return consistent results thanks to the isolation guaranteed by ACID. (Modulo some corner cases that are not hard to work around.)

Just my $0.02.

It is very similar to a normal sprint, but instead of adding new features, our goal is to improve existing features, the system, or the process. It can be technical things like upgrading to a new version of PHP, of a framework, or a library. It can be anything related to technical debt. It can be some proof-of-concept. In one of such sprints, I've introduced cypress and made a couple of tests to demo it.

The tickets for this sprint come from anyone. Usually, when working on a ticket you sometimes get a brilliant idea. Write a new ticket with that idea and add it to the tech sprint proposal. Before the tech sprint, the whole team participates in sprint planning. We go over tickets, review them, and decide whether they should be done. Usually, we assign tickets to ourselves. We also estimate how many story points they will be. Ideally, it should take less than 1 week to finish. A maximum of the whole sprint of 2 weeks is allowed. Otherwise, it is divided or multiple people work on it.

Excepting special situations for certain PR and USVI residents, Washington state is as close to a tax haven as a US citizen is going to find.

> nor are tax dollars completely and utterly squandered in California

This depends on what you think the dollars should be used for. Most taxpayers would like to see their taxes used for provision of public services, and not in service of a vast public employee enrichment scheme. From this POV, the money is in fact squandered.
