You did not talk about resale value at all.
It's the same thing that happened to ebay and kickstarter and I'm sure many others. It does feel inevitable. On the other hand, if it's not inevitable I wouldn't know because that platform is staying small.

One thing I'll say is that there are a number of business that I use (both B2B and B2C) that are highly specialized but manage to be successful because they are not interested in growth. I suspect there's lots of these out there that are maintaining their own platform or using an out of the box solution, but that most of us never know about them because we don't need to interact.
I imagine Apple is weary about having a UI for this since it might cause more bad PR/complaints about people being able to get around (for example) school website filters. Chrome eased its UI rollout by introducing a managed policy that admins could configure before the UI was enabled. https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?po...
Bluetooth is a garbage standard riddled with decades of legacy support. Apple achieves the "just works" functionality with a proprietary chip and a proprietary protocol. Bluetooth still can't support simultaneous high-quality voice and audio.

No, they are not recording your location or your “travel history”.

The best you can do is suggest that they might have the possibility of using geoIP to deduce locations from logs whose storage duration you do not know.

That simply isn’t the same thing.

If sneak were to have said something like this:

“Apple could be lying to us, and may in fact be using geoIP to deduce people’s location from IP addresses in their logs. I have no proof of this, but it is technically feasible, and I don’t trust them not to be doing it.”

I would not say they were lying. These are all true statements.

But to say “Apple is recoding your travel history” when really all you have is speculation about what is technically possible, is a lie.

I use two laptop stands to support a 4-foot board that I can slide over my bed (by 2-feet only). The board supports two 27" 4k monitors. One laptop stand has legs under the bed and an arm that extends over the bed. The other laptop stand holds a counter weight and clamp to make sure the board is stable. One of the 27" monitor is over the bed, the other is next to it but not over the bed.

I run into all sorts of problems with Word's automatic numbering when I try to leave space, insert images, tables, or a make sublist. And it's never clear to me what the issue is.

LaTeX seems much more predictable. I have a file with my custom commands and styles that I `\input` and use always use consistent style. Nothing too crazy. But I also never try to do anything too crazy in Word, either.
I wonder how someone who doesn’t know how to use the automatic numbering feature will handle anything LaTeX.
So should we give up because things are currently not going our way?
I know this is just a throwaway example, but feel just looking at the code layer this kind of elegance is comes at the cost of clarity and conveying intent, and I see that happen a lot.

The second method explicitly checking for null is great because it's telling me so many things very plainly:

1. There can be no address for a user
2. There is otherwise one address per one user
3. If there is no address we explicitly do nothing (if clause with no else)

If we do the same analysis for the first method it actually feels like it's conveying false conclusions. It's implying there's multiple addresses per user, for example.

And the fact that if a user has no address we don't do anything is still true, but the intent feels buried in the behavior of the loop.

By default I try to value writing code in a way that conveys the most intent possible over how it feels to write

For example, another language with nullable types (Kotlin) has

user.address()?.let { it.sendMail() }

I've seen people write code like this, and it just feels so unnecessary, how much longer does it take to parse? And it still doesn't have the clarity of intent that a simple null check has.
> I think Word is a pretty mediocre product and has some ludicrous limitations. But really - this is just as nonsensical from the other side.

I wrote a ~200 page (digital) textbook on 3d Modeling using Word.

Word is incredibly customizable, I had hotkeys setup to do everything I wanted, figures and diagrams manages themselves rather well, and I was easily able to get into a state of flow using Word.

Now it took several days to get Word that customized, but having seen what it can do, I will not call it mediocre.

However hot Word tip of the century is, and has always been, put all images inside a text box, they'll behave the way you expect then, and behave bizarrely otherwise.

Should be noted I wasn't doing any typesetting or any such thing, just writing the document, I understand that beyond just writing, LaTeX is a far superior tool.
> And the GPLv3 was simply far too scary for companies.

"scary" from a different perspective is "functional". Many companies also push back against even GPLv2 in anything other than the Linux kernel, and as a result, more people use permissive licenses, even when those permissive licenses run counter to their goals. I've directly seen corporate decision-makers ask "how can we prevent our competitors from using this to compete with us" and yet still choose permissive licensing rather than copyleft, for no obvious or stated reason. That's leaving aside many individual projects using permissive licensing; I wonder how many people doing so specifically want permissive licensing for a concrete reason, and how many just aren't sure and so they pick what seems more prevalent/"acceptable"?

In many contexts, GPL of any flavor is "that thing that the Linux kernel and a few bits of low-level Linux userspace use, and everything else avoids". GPLv3 didn't cause that; widespread corporate pushback against copyleft caused that.

I also have a similar experience, I hate the unpair-pair dance and just use my AirPods even though Sony has a better sound quality and a bit better ANC.

The most common, fastest and cheapest leather making method is called chrome-tanning which uses chromium-sulfate, which is kind of a nasty chemical. Virtually all unnatural colored leather is made this way too (though most brown leather is dyed too).

Not that it really changes much for you, but it seems unlikely that it's specifically mammalian skin to blame (I would assume exotic leathers from non-mammal sources probably have the same effect for you) and you might actually be sensitive to the tanning chemicals or any of the other leather conditioners or dyes that the leather has absorbed.

I used to THINK it was fine too. Until I got a set of wireless headphones on a whim.

Spoiler alert: It was not fine.

It's a bit like wheels on luggage... you don't think you need them until you have one, then you never want anything else.

Just to be clear though, I actually use my wired headphones way more... but that's because they're very very good and driven by a good dedicated amp.

Portable is a whole different ballgame.
I keep my custom commands and styles in a separate tex file that I `\input` into the document file I am working on. The document file usually looks very clean with this method. It feels very much like HTML and CSS to me.
With a laptop and multiple monitors, the length of cord I need for wired headphones is longer than most 3.5mm headphones provide. When I bought a pair of overhead cabled headphones with a long cord I found the cord was in the way of my mouse and keyboard. It was workable but annoying. I would even run over the cable with my chair sometimes.

When running, climbing or just doing chores around the house, wireless headphones really make it easier to not get them yanked out of your head.

If your use cases don't run into any limitations with a 3.5mm cabled headphone then you certainly shouldn't pay the extra money to be able to freely move your head/body around. For me I am very happy to pay for that as it has improved my experience dramatically.

For physics nerds: momentum is mv, kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2. Upon firing, the chemical energy of the powder is converted to kinetic energy in the bullet. When the bullet hits the target kinetic energy is converted to tissue damage. More powder = more kinetic energy = more damage. Heavier bullet = more momentum = more recoil. That's why the Glock has so much more kick, while the AR-15 has more penetrating power and range. There are also pretty massive differences in the aerodynamics of the bullet, which probably helps the AR-15's range a lot:

I scrolled all the way to find out the one thing im interested in with apple. How much do they take you for this time around. 549 or about 100 times what the Action store charges for headphones (with good sound). Sound is produced using magnets and a coiled up wire. Its the simplest electronic product out there by a large margin. Yet people are jumping at the chance to give apple money. I can only complement Apples marketing. They have done a phenomenal job.
I would argue that input scaling is not fundamental to Transformers.

Recurrent neural network size is also independent of input sequence length.

The successful removal of inductive bias is really what differentiates this from previous sequence-to-sequence neural networks.

There's three reasons Shure IEMs don't need any processing to sound as good or better than the AirPods Max, and it boils down to physics too.

Firstly, the Shure IEMs are IEMs, not on-ear headphones.

Secondly, since they use physical isolation, there is no need for ANC, which means much less calculation power needed.

Thirdly, they bypass the outer ear. This means that the outer ear won't color the sound, which means that you don't need to correct for that (which is what modern autoequalizers do). Of course this is a bit less natural, but carefully tuned drivers work around that excellently.

Fourth, they are wired, which removes the need for processing the audio signal. Modern DACs are practically indistinguishable from perfection, so that's not an issue.

Fifth, they use balanced armature drivers instead of dynamic drivers. This means that they are not affected at all by resonance and other effects.

This is why Shure IEMs can do both better isolation and better audio quality than even experimental smart headphones. They simply eliminate all the issues by physical means.

The one issue that can't be quite fixed is that Soundstage won't sound as wide as would be possible with open back headphones, but these are closed headphones with ANC so it probably won't be any worse.

Basically, the point is to remove the physical issues so that you don't have to fix them in software. This is a lot more cost efficient and, for things like ANC that can't be done perfectly, gives a better result.

Black people are killed at much higher rates (2-3x). Anything that says otherwise is usually trying to finagle the numbers by basically claiming that Black people have more encounters with the police so it's only natural. But that would imply that police have no say in who they stop and why.

But do note that S7 wasn’t much cheaper (if at all) than the comparable iPhone when it came out; and this length of support is unusual for Android.

On the other hand, my 5-year old iPhone 6S got the whole new iOS14 update, and my wife’s 6 year old iPhone 6 seems to still be getting critical security updates occasionally, even though the latest OS that supports it is iOS 12, which was replaced over a year ago.
Agreed, but commenting to say that they'll probably try to push Fuchsia much sooner than 10 years.
I tell those kind of people that they are single handedly contributing to a (perceived or real) wage gap.

I coach women that are afraid of being perceived as too assertive in their own organization that their competition got kicked out of organizations for being too cocky until finally landing a high level position where they needed to “make the tough decisions”. The competition doesn't care about losing or being married to a single organization.

This all ties into the breadth of choices some people are willing to perceive and entertain.
Just recently, I have been ditching all of my dark-theme apps on my desktop. For one, switching back and forth between the light colored windows (most websites, word processor, all my scientific PDFs) and the dark ones (previously, terminal, some websites, etc) is so bothersome. But lately I've been finding dark theme too hard on my eyes as well, just in general.

So now pretty much everything is light theme, and it's like I'm living in 2004 again.

Just gotta keep the lights on in the room when working, which is what I should have always done anyway.

I still love the dark themes on my phone and tablet. I use those more often in poorly-lit areas, so that makes more sense, I guess.

>This dynamic isn't unique to ECE 352, or even Wisconsin – I saw the same thing when TA'ed EE 202, a second year class on signals and systems at Purdue. The problems were FFTs and Laplace transforms instead of dividers and Boolean2, but the avoidance of teaching fundamental skills was the same. It was clear, from the questions students asked me in office hours, that those who were underperforming weren't struggling with the fundamental concepts in the class, but with algebra: the problems were caused by not having an intuitive understanding of, for example, the difference between f(x+a) and f(x)+a.

>When I suggested to the professor that he spend half an hour reviewing algebra for those students who never had the material covered cogently in high school, I was told in no uncertain terms that it would be a waste of time because some people just can't hack it in engineering. I was told that I wouldn't be so naive once the semester was done, because some people just can't hack it in engineering. I was told that helping students with remedial material was doing them no favors; they wouldn't be able to handle advanced courses anyway because some students just can't hack it in engineering. I was told that Purdue has a loose admissions policy and that I should expect a high failure rate, because some students just can't hack it in engineering.

I think that fundamentally the problem is in mathematics.

Our notation is from the 18th century at best, yet because it is hard people think it's meaningful.

Standard maths notation makes sense for polynomials: a_0 x^n+a_1 x^(n-1)+ ... + a_n = k is the only type of general expression one can write without the need to use parens. Everything else is a kludge added on top of that notation to fix one problem with it, but only in one specific field. Which leaves you with dozens of dsls to specific types of areas of maths/engineering/physics/etc

I'm a big fan of lispified typed lambda calculus. There are no exceptions, and any specific notation is defined in terms of rewrite rules. The fact that types are required also makes it clear what you're talking about.

Unfortunately I'm in a minority of one whenever I've talked to working mathematicians, even though I can tear through papers and proofs an order of magnitude faster than when I try and use standard notation.

GPLv2 and GPLv3 both have an exception for proprietary "system libraries", which is designed to allow you to ship GPLed software that runs on proprietary systems. (You still have to meet the terms of the GPL in other regards, but you can ignore the system libraries.)

GPLv2 was stricter in that regard, in that the entity shipping the system libraries couldn't be the one shipping the GPLed software; GPLv3 drops that and allows anyone to ship GPLv3ed software for a proprietary platform, as long as you still meet the other requirements of the GPLv3.
They seem to be sold out for the next 6 months, so I guess it is a product people want.
