"On 15 February American bombers dropped 1,400 tons of high explosives, creating widespread damage.[6] The raid failed to achieve its objective, as German paratroopers then occupied the rubble and established excellent defensive positions amid the ruins. "
Seas tend to be worse than oceans from what I can tell. In the deep ocean there is plenty of water, and little to hit. Thus even when things go wrong there is plenty of forgiveness for error. Shallow seas not so much, off course by a few meters can be fatal.
Of course there are exceptions - as an expert in sailing not me for details.

Why would the police want to release anything?

The press clearly misrepresented even the minor facts of the case ('pointed guns at children') for which there isn't any evidence - using that likely untruth as the headline item thereby making it an iron clad fact of 'truth' in the public narrative.

It's possible, even likely that 1) The woman did something actually wrong and used government accounts without permission and 2) she didn't answer the door for 20 minutes, thereby requiring the police to take a more assertive posture. And frankly I doubt they pointed guns at children because that would be pointless. (Although it's possible she is entirely innocent of breaking into said systems, and possibly has some entirely good reason why she didn't answer the door for the police for 20 minutes)

If you use some public system in an unauthorized way, download data, you certainly would expect police to knock in the door, and you don't answer it for 20 minutes, they might have their guns upholstered when you finally do. That's not unreasonable.

Also, just because someone has a grievance with your company/government, doesn't them a whistleblower. In the entirety of her public foray, I'm not able to find the specific nature of her concerns - the more I look, the more I doubt her claims. Florida releases more data than any province here in Canada as I can tell, here is the Florida dashboard [1] here is the Ontario dashboard [2].

Florida release information specifically related to schools, LTC facilities etc. - Quebec has for example denied that data to the public.

I feel the entire case, like everything, has been politicized.

For reference From [3]: "Plessinger said Jones refused to answer the door for 20 minutes and hung up on agents. Jones eventually let the agents into the home, she said.

Her family was upstairs when agents entered, Plessinger said.

The 31-second video Jones posted on Twitter shows agents entering her home with their guns drawn. Jones tells the officers that her husband and two children are upstairs as they direct her outside of the house.

One of the agents points his gun toward the stairwell. An officer shouts, “Police, come down now.”

As the video ends, Jones yells, “He just pointed a gun at my children.” The video does not show any children, or agents pointing guns at any children. FDLE said agents didn’t point guns at anyone."

They are already here and have been for quite some time. Every bank has internal scores for their customers and the normal employee cannot override this. The services a customer is allowed to get are already defined. Easy to imagine that this will be extended to housing, insurance and all general services.

Since people ignored warnings about sharing data, a solid basis of quantifications of any imaginable metric is already established to a large degree. But at least they got the service for free and it was convenient...

Some might think the increased efficiency would decrease overall prices, but economists can explain why that will not be the case.

It won't be the general purpose AI you need to fear. It will be the tiny specialized agent that reduces input to a number that will be attached to your person. There will be many of those.

You don't know how an agent works. Maybe the simple number of transactions you do is bad for you credit score. If it was known, people would try to optimize this score, which would put us in an insane monkey prison.

The reasons for these arbitrary conclusions will always be hidden behind proprietary software that will be tightly guarded against potential competitors.

I have the Sony XM4s which support multi device pairing.

It works fairly well, but every time a new device connects the headphones say loudly into your ear

"BLUETOOTH. DEVICE. TWO. CONNECTED."

... over whatever you were listening to.

And you can't turn that feature off or replace it with a simple tone.
i had both the sony wh-1000xm4 and now use the sennheiser momentum 3. via bluetooth i have the same problem on both my macbook pro and iphone: they lag. i watch a youtube video (on ios in the app; on osx browser or a video app) and the sound is a few ms behind (very noticeably though).

any idea what's going on there and/or if apple would solve this somehow with airpods max?
At least these are not the sort of bases that can be hacked.
In the same boat. Love music, love hi fidelity headphones, very enthusiastic about wireless for home office use, not at all interested in these.

“One touch set up” is just not a feature anywhere on my Venn Diagram of excitement.
I'm realizing I've only worked in distributed systems as well, but I'd never feel comfortable telling potential employers I'm an expert. Being an expert in distributed systems seems almost too broad. At a high level couldn't it be expertise at integration, accessible logging, and configuration?
I find it hilarious that the HN audience with "science-backgrounds" are rushing to inject "first generation tech" into their bodies. I remember many people stated they would wait until the 3rd generation of VR headsets before purchasing one.

I guess some knowledge & intuitions don't generalize.

Reminds me of a tech-savvy Youtuber that stated "I'm teaching myself to trust Tesla autopilot and ignore my need to fearfully jump to the wheel every time FSD moves me too close to objects on the road", "I'm getting better at it"... implying that 100s of thousands of years of evolutionary development/intuition/skepticism can be discarded when 1st gen tech enters the room.

*Note: I don't see my comment when logged out, shadowbanned perhaps...I'm starting to understand what "the right" has been talking about free speech-wise...will the tech overlords grant me permission to share my view...? Time to pray.

Encrypted DNS only solves hi-jacking, it doesn't provide privacy. DNS must be public. It is trivial to run a DNS server to build a simple reverse lookup table. This is as much privacy as the TSA provides airline security.
Most vaccines only prevent the specific disease they are designed to prevent. However, there is a clear causation at play here. People which have received the MMR vaccine, is simply less ill from other diseases unrelated to the diseases vaccinated against with the MMR vaccine.
I still remember the advice on learning to land a plane. If you're going too fast, pull the nose up, too slow, push the nose down. If you're sinking too quickly, add throttle, sinking too slowly add throttle. This is the reverse of what you'd normally think in airplane controls. Push the stick down to point the nose down and sink faster. But, Chuck Yeager's advice was that intuitively, you actually get better control of the glide path by thinking about throttle as up/down rate and stick up/down as speed control.

They have it on the AirPods Pro as well, basically it makes it seem that the audio comes from your iPhone or audio source, even when you move.

It’s cool but I’m not sure why it exists.
That price is ... insane. I think the only saving grace will be spatial audio and if it's waterproof. They also seem a bit, well, ugly for an Apple product.

I was patiently waiting for these. I bought (and loved) the original AirPods. I really wanted noise cancellation for flights, but the AirPods Pro hurt my ears no matter what I tried. I waited through each Apple "one more thing," hoping these would surface. I eventually went with Sony's WH-1000XM4s. The Bluetooth is a little slow, but they're pretty stellar otherwise.
A lot of high-end headphones have interchangeable earpads, cables and sometimes even headbands.

Whatever happened to that one keyboard looked bad. Is that paint? Perhaps they could carefully uncover the keys (but be careful in case they were covered as a quick-and-dirty biohazard prevention): https://i1.wp.com/rusue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/18.jp...

Beyerdynamic cans for ~120 €: replaceable padding, replaceable headband, replaceable cord, replaceable transducers. Only the last two need tools.
I am a total apologist for the price of the AirPods and AirPods Pro.

I have tried a lot of wireless earbuds. Jabra, Samsung, Jaybirds, Anker…and none of them have the combination of bullet-proof pairing, keeping a connection, audio quality†, and sound cancelling†. †(AirPods Pro, for these.)

But hoo boy, $550 is a lot for more traditional headphones. The price premium for earbuds feels right to me, as you have to do the engineering to jam as much battery, antenna, and circuitry into a teeny tiny space as possible. But big ol’ can headphones? C’mon, you have so much more volume to work with, it should make them easier to design and manufacture, not harder.

That would be D3D11 (most famous/used at least) ;) Metal is actually quite similar to D3D11 (or rather a hypothetical D3D11 successor if Mantle wouldn't have happened, which in turn heavily influenced D3D12 and Vulkan). If you have a D3D11 backend in your engine, a Metal backend is fairly easy to derive from this.

The first 2 are the RNA right?

Sodium and potassium chloride are standard in table salt and saline drips right?

Sucrose and cholesterol occur naturally in humans I think (sucrose comes from breaking down fructose?).

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is harder. No real idea what that is, but apparently they put it in gatorade?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopotassium_phosphate

Disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate is (I think) also used in food (condensed milk) and water softeners!

Anyone know what 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is? Or

I'm sort of impressed it doesn't have 1001 complex chemicals.

I don't see the relevance of that article, that is a known side effect of dengue immunity and has nothing to do with the vaccine itself.
Have you used Bluetooth headphones this decade? And airpods in particular? There’s not really any problem with audio quality they sound pretty much indistinguishable from wired headphones in real world use (sure if you’re sitting alone in a quiet room with an audiophile setup listening to FLAC files because 320kbps mp3s aren’t high quality enough, then you may want something else).
I think you're misinterpreting my comment. I'm not saying lockdowns don't work. I'm saying that there is no evidence that lockdowns that contain exceptions for school aren't significantly worse than lockdowns that include schools.

...because there is no data.
I benefited from my parents’ achievements (scholastic, work ethic, and financial support). My kids will benefit from mine in the same way. It’s not hard to imagine that a year of subpar schooling could cast a multi-generational shadow on the most vulnerable.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a small political motivation here too - the gov were heavily criticized for their terrible handling of covid in care homes, with an older voter base they might want to be seen to be doing right by the care homes this time around
I’ve been hovering on the XM4s waiting for these to be announced. I very much like my regular AirPods, but at £549 I’m definitely going to get the Sonys for £349.

I’m sure the AirPods will be more convenient in some ways, but as I’ll be using them almost entirely inside the house, I’m willing to forego that considering the huge price difference. I much prefer the visual style of the Sonys too; not that that matters all that much.

I’m interested to see reviews of the AirPods to see what they’re like on the sound quality front though.
Aren't these DNS resolvers largely the ISP anyway? They know where any packets are going anyway for each user. Seems to be a trivial hurdle to jump.
What crazy logic is this? You are saying one needs to have evidence of risk in order to ask if there is any evidence of risk.

What is wrong with people when simply asking about negative impacts of a rushed vaccine is considered a worthless distraction.

I've already switched some games that were reported as "playable" to "not playable" because they are only technically playable

I am currently thinking about how to best approach this and provide a definition of "playable" that makes sense as context for the reports

I'm also thinking about adding some kind of confidence indicator (e.g. 5 reports by different known reporters stating a game is playable vs 1 report from an anonymous user w/ incompletely filled out report)

I'm currently looking at best practices from other software compatibility databases out there.

Any pointers or thoughts very welcome. I want this to be as high quality as possible so you know that if you have a question about game compatibility or performance on Apple Silicon Macs that this is the website to check.
Imagine wearing them, watching a tv show on your ipad. When you turn your head, it still seems like the sound is coming from the direction of your ipad.

Also used for surround sound, so if you turn your head, the "center channel" still is focused on the screen, and surround sound is where it would be if there were actual speakers behind you.
I’m guessing it’s the deployment story that made them choose Go.
All Bluetooth headphones have some delays. If you want no delay, then you should really be looking at other options. But maybe the Apple ones have a larger delay.
I think we're lying to ourselves when we look for answers that don't acknowledge systematic failure modes in socialization of today's youth. The baddies du jour isn't the root cause, just a link in a long causal chain. It's a cop out to say focusing on the baddies du jour is part of a multi-pronged approach, the other prongs aren't there or consist of perfunctory hamfisted interventions.

But it's not really a surprise, our current approach to mental health is one of sweeping problems under the rug and hoping the rug doesn't notice. It's treated as a heartwarming story when someone is talked down from the side of a bridge, because comparatively nobody notices that they spend the rest of their life at a just-below-jumping threshold level of misery.
I mean they sell the iPhone 12 Pro Max, it’s consistent with the rest of Apple’s current branding.
"In other words, I think the Swiss wanted to tilt the cost/benefit calculation for invaders, not only by increasing the cost, but also by reducing the benefit. "

And that worked, as for sure germany did not wanted a neutral power in the middle of their empire, but due to cost/benefit the plan of invading was always pushed back till the war was over.

So this was also the plan for a potential cold war escalation.

It will sound like the band is physically located in front of you even when you turn your head.

The same way when you’re outside and you hear a car, and you turn away from the car the sound dampens. The same will be true of music played through these headphones.
> 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.

Wait, can these only be used on Apple devices? Or is there a Bluetooth fallback. I guess to spend so much you’d be a little crazy to just want a vanilla Bluetooth experience.
Of course. It's basically free money at this stock price.

You mean a headphone that doesn't support lossless audio? Lol!
If I buy these, it’ll be in addition to my “stuff in pocket and go” headphones. I listen to music while working literally all day, and my needs for the item that provides that is pretty different from what I want at the gym or if I am meeting a friend and want something for the journey.
It's actually a nice feature that has been available on Airpods Pro as well. The feature makes it feel like the sound is actually coming out of the iPhone / iPad / etc. When you turn your head, the sound source stays the same.

Note that the Airpods don't actually know where your device is located. It simply sets a "base orientation" when the sound is started. This base orientation is updated when you keep your head in a new position for a longer time ("resetting" the approximated position of your device).
I bought the M3 right when they came out for about 320€ (I think they were 380 but there was a deal). And got a reimbursement about a year later because of technical problems. Because I really liked them I bought them again and the price then was about 180€.
And I’d say the M4 don’t add so much to warrant the difference over the M3 at their current pricing.
In any case, Apples product will never see deals remotely close to this. (Maybe 50€ off if the stars are perfectly aligned)
At their valuation this would be the perfect time to raise more capital. You don't dilute the shares much. At 600 billion dollar valuation you are assuming rates will be 0 for a while and that tesla will be more profitable than any existing car company by a bit.

It is definitely a broad term, and I think that disciplined implementation of the things that you mentioned is the real key. It just isn't as exciting to talk about.
True, Bluetooth 5.2 is introducing LE Audio that will use a new codec (LC3) and should enable higher audio quality also for calls when microphone from the headset is in use.
it's so expensive, too bad there are no good alternatives to this
I seriously doubt that Vulkan plays any significant role in getting games onto the PS4 or Switch, simply because there are not many games running exclusively on top of Vulkan. On PC by far most games are rendering through D3D11 and D3D12, with the bulk still using D3D11 because Windows7 is still a thing. In general you use the API that's "most native" on a platform because that usually gets you the best performance and driver quality.

I'm happy to be proven wrong though.
I suspect that's referring to the "additional" features. If they are like the smaller airpods, they'll pair with any bluetooth device.
Thanks a lot for the comment and the suggestion. As quick fix I will add context for the current definition of "playable" and also add this to the form to submit reports.

As next step I will look into how to best model and communicate something like a "recommended" context and most likely make that the default view (as this I think will be what most people will be interested in knowing).

Thank you!
Honestly Tylenol is a really fucky one, I've had it once when I was in the US and it got me off my tits. I mean pardon my french but that stuff is something else. And in a lot of cases gratuitous; at best it takes the edge off, for me personally, some paracetamol has the same effect without the side effects of an inability to drive or operate heavy machinery.
Sounds like the APFS issues I have been having on my iMac. Once the disk is full, the device won't boot anymore. Removing files doesn't work "rm: disk is full". The only solution is to format the drive and start over. Have you tried DFU restore, if that's even a thing anymore?

Its simple : Big Corporations are taking big profit by using China as manufacturing, China is not a democracy, China is not free market economy, buying products completely made abroad is killing off a middle class and financing oppressive regime of CCP. Big companies have enough cash to relocate manufacturing in democratic countries.

As a consumer, you can search for products that are made locally or with minimum Chinese parts.
