It's a numbers game (or at least I can treat it that way), they follow my funnel or they get lost, I don't think twice about it.

It's like 6 messages to text and then another 6 on text/whatsapp to figure out if the logistics for a date will work.

Maybe 15-20% actually make it to a date from a number in tinder but it requires the least investment on my part.
I bought a cheapy pair of heyday headphones ([0] but w/o active noise cancellation) a few years back because I wanted over-the-ear headphones with both Bluetooth and 3.5mm stereo jack. I used these in the office for music, on the bus for podcasts, as hands-free for my phone, etc. It was fantastic. The only complaint I really had was that the Bluetooth mode didn't work with my phone's mic. When they broke recently, I decided to pick up some Sennheisers[1] with similar functionality.

With both of these, there have been times when the cord got annoying, but I really like having that option. I've had these new ones almost two months and have probably charged the batteries once. That's about on-par with the heyday pair - probably less frequently, truly.

People hate on the 3.5mm jack, but it never fails, and I think the hate it gets is disproportionate to how much people actually struggle with it. And if you do struggle with it on occasion, having the option to flip between Bluetooth & 3.5mm is easy peasy.

Yep. Time and time again I see people abuse their credit cards to buy iPhones or Galaxy Notes. And then complain when unexpected events throw then into an evergrowing interest snowball.

Financial education should be taught in elementary school.
It won't make much difference. The damage is done, Mapbox has remade the community in its image and we can only live in that world.
Maybe you should try to gain a basic understanding of what you're talking about before posting this /pol/ conspiracy theory stuff?

There exists very little doubt that NK was behind the Sony hack, there's even a federal indictment.

>It is the same as Crowdstrike going back on their wild claims while their CEO testified under oath.

This is a complete fabrication by you, utterly unsupported by the link you shared which only contains meaningless bickering regarding forensic traces of data exfiltration.
Having performed every OS update from OS X Jaguar (10.2) to macOS Big Sur, I'm surprised by your experience. macOS releases have always been complete and not in place upgrades over previous versions.

Once the OS releases became free and were no longer distributed on physical media there was a time when releases would be downloaded from the App Store. OS updates have moved from a dedicated Software Update app, to the App Store app and now into System Preferences. For I'm not sure how long, OS installations have been effectively click and approve the license with no other input required for the past decade (and with increasingly less information displayed during the install process).

I've recently installed OS X 10.4 Tiger (from 2005) and Windows 8 Pro, both from original media to blank drives, the OS X installation was much less frustrating (most notably because I didn't have to dig up a license key).
I would absolutely use this, particularly with map integration and messaging/Signal integration. I'd also love to use this to trigger events (e.g. turning off lights when everyone leaves, turning them on when anyone gets home).

Regarding payment: I would get value from this, but primarily in conjunction with a higher-level service built atop it (providing features such as those mentioned above), and I'd want to pay for the higher-level service with this integrated, rather than paying for the building block. (That'd mean either you're providing the higher-level service and getting paid directly, or providing the building block and getting paid by the higher-level service rather than by the end user.)
I clarified my comment.
For anybody who actually deals with earwax buildup issues, the Debrox ear drops they sell at Target/Walgreens/CVS along with the irrigation bulb/warm water will resolve the issue in about 10 minutes. Keep your head tilted and enjoy the strange bubbly sound. Make sure you make the water lukewarm, closer to skin temperature before you spray it in your ear (if it's too cold, you'll be dizzy for 10 minutes). I've had temporary hearing loss resolved with this before.
99% of the code in Mapbox GL was written by Mapbox employees on company time. The GPL would have made no difference.
Was in that role.

I made a presentation on what I was supposed to do and what I was actually going to do instead.

I detailed everything, made it clear where I was ignoring my actual assignments.

It was done in a tongue and check manor, but also completely serious.

I finished A massive platform migration project in under 3 months. Solved nearly of the reliability and performance issues. And our build time went from 18 hours to 20 minutes.

It was a very surreal experience.

Way to stressful to keep doing that though.
> I'm unable to try out the android app, since I'm on iOS

I don't have a formal list set up for this, but if you would like to be notified of when the iOS app is ready just send me an email [arash at zood dot xyz], and I'll send you a reply when it's ready.

> one idea that would be cool is to set the accuracy of the shared location

Great idea. I hadn't considered that. Using geoIP mode would also be worth investigating. I've often found geoIP to be quite inaccurate when on cellular networks (e.g. reporting that I'm in San Jose when I'm actually in Los Angeles). Any thoughts about that?

> It's too bad you can't force location services to only use built in GPS vs pinging their internet servers.

My understanding is that on Android if you only use the platform location services instead of the Google Play Fused Location Provider, it will only access satellite positioning (GPS, GLONASS, etc.). It will also use up your battery faster, but I think that's tangential. So, at least on Android, I can code a path to only use location services.

> Apple also has an issue where they silently stop location tracking apps in the background, you might have to make a nag notification

That has been a real pain in my side on iOS and Android. So many deceptive apps have abused the location system for so many years, that Apple (especially) and Google are making legitimate use cases of background location very inconvenient. I can't say I blame them either.
While a fine piece, Tehillim is by Reich’s own admission not very representative of his work.
I have a wax issue myself, which can cause lots of buildup since it doesn't always fall out on its own.

Several years back it got quite bad, so I went to an ENT doctor in SF and they did this suction thing. It felt so strange but it worked like magic.

Even jingling my keys was a bit sensitive at first until my eardrum got used to the sound again due to (probably) having a clearer surface area.

Taken from the article:

She claims to be a data scientist.

Her quote:

“Hacking is not something I ever thought they would accuse me of because I have never displayed any capability of doing that,” she said. “I’ve never taken any computer courses or anything like that. I do statistics in a software program designed basically to do all that stuff for you by clicking stuff.”

Yeah, that's the data scientist to hire: someone who "clicks stuff."

Additional quote from article:

"In an affidavit signed by FDLE investigator Noel Pratt on Dec. 3, he concluded the email message was sent to approximately 1,750 accounts before it was discovered. Pratt said in the affidavit that he tracked down the IP address of the computer associated with the email and it directed him to Jones’ home address, which he said was probable cause to conduct a search of her property and seize her computers."

This person is not trustworthy, or qualified as a source. None of her colleagues have corroborated her claims. She was put on a pedestal by a media that desperately wants to attack any governor, especially a Trump ally, who wanted to open their state back up rather than go the lockdown model. It's that simple. I'm not a DeSantis fan at all, but if an anti-vaxxer was crusading against him, I wouldn't give them a platform just to get to him. I'd think about the implications of putting an alarmist with no scientific credentials to speak of on a platform as a weapon against him. She's a GIS specialist with no coding skills. How exactly does that make her qualified to talk about infectious disease data publicly, and to unilaterally change the dashboard she was tasked with maintaining without consulting her boss and/or team? (that's why they fired her)

We can talk all day about the appropriate police response to this kind of crime, but she's not credible as an expert. She's a click jocky who is skilled with Tableau, Qlik, and ESRI. And she's engaged in a deceptive charade of labelling herself a whistleblower, down to the tweets leaving out key information.
Oh, gross! I missed that; I read the TechCrunch article and thought I understand what they were going for. Thanks for the correction. That's disgusting.
I disagree with Apple's ability to do this but its a far cry from China using data to oppress minorities.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Asian's having a dryer/waxier ear wax? Not something I know much about but I remember learning about it in an anthropology class.
Nothing quite like having options being viewed negatively.

How do you give other people options!
Sure. I don't contribute to projects that require copyright assignment to the FSF. For one thing, it's a major hassle for new contributors. For another, I don't particularly like or trust the FSF.
If I ever get to Vietnam I will definitely give this a try. It seems quite relaxing according to this video [0].

I think it's a shame these don't support the new MagSafe charger. Plugging a cable into headphones is more of a pain than it needs to be. Charging my AirPods Pro by putting it on the MagSafe puck is really convenient, and makes me more likely to charge them from time to time than to wait until they're dead to plug them in.
We were just looking for product management tools last week, and decided to use notion (I guess it's the hotness atm), but definitely is not suiting our needs. I just signed up to Kitemaker (we're SoundMind.co)

Keen to understand, in a market so laden with options, how do you plan to stand out? Monday and Assana seem to be spending a fortune on ads.

A demo video or something that would show the functionality would be helpful. ATM, it feels similar to github project.
Why don't people just use something like Debrox? Q-tips seem dangerous enough that it would be better to just not take the risk to go deaf.

This argument doesn't work when PCs are essentially the only widely available hardware platform that ended up with an open standard for modifying the software running on the device. Even here, the fact that we ended up with this model was an accident.

Every device or platform since the IBM PC, including phones, tablets, non-x86 PCs, thermostats, wristwatches, routers, appliances, cars, etc. -- all of them have switched to the device-only-accepts-firmware-signed-by-the-manufacturer model where you can't put your own software on the vast majority of devices without a significant amount of reverse engineering and hardware/firmware exploit hunting.

Software can't eat the world if nobody wants to make hardware that can run arbitrary software. Then it's only "this one particular company's software can eat your thermostat for the two years that they feel like providing device support, then it's trash."

I think that hardware (or at least boot architecture) does matter. For all of UEFI's flaws, the secure boot model is actually pretty good. A device can come with a preloaded manufacturer key, and can be configured by default to only run manufacturer signed firmware. But once a user buys the device, they have the option of adding an additional key, either from another third party (i.e. like the key that RedHat and Ubuntu use to sign their kernels), or keys that you or your organization generate and manage yourselves. You can also remove the preloaded key, because as the owner of the device, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. If the manufacturer needs their application to only work if the secure boot settings haven't been altered (i.e. in a car, with safety/liability concerns), they can do that.

I would be a lot happier if we had a model like this for literally any other non-PC platform. Right now everybody rolls their own crappy implementation of signature checking with hard-coded manufacturer keys. It's really pretty awful.
The problem is that Kafka API and Commit log API are very different.

If you wanted to literally use Kafka for your commit log the same way the Amazon aurora are using a distributed commit log. You would find that a lot of feature a commit log need are missing and impossible to add to kafka.
"Does your solved problem bluetooth headphones RELIABLY connect to your current device (without having to unpaid with another device). That is game changing."

Man, I wish my headphones did this. I constantly have to fiddle with my bluetooth settings, have audio come out of my mac or iPhone, sometimes in inappropriate places, even after I've tried to tell the OS to play from headphones. The worst is when switching between my Mac and iPhone, usually I have to unpair one, put my headphones into pairing mode, or at the very least turn bluetooth off on one device.

My headphones are...Apple AirPods. They did this when they first launched, so I even got the pros. Now none of my pairs ever work.

I really wish Apple would figure out how to make stuff just work. I think there's opportunity for someone to figure it out! No clue what happened to this company, but the AirPods are undoubtedly the most frustrating Apple product I've ever owned
Exactly. It boggles the mind the RH would make the announcement without having the new plans in place.
That's a terrible analogy, would you buy a screen that has a fixed perma-filter applied to every input? The whole point of buying headphones that are neutral and accurate in their frequency response is that you can enjoy different pieces the way you want. You can apply any "filter" you want to color an accurate and versatile speaker, but you can't get a pair of beats to clear up the mids or make the bass less boomy.
The Sony 1000XM3/4 series actually does all this and more already and has been for the last few years. Of all the noise cancellation headphones I've tried they're the best out there in the market and you can have them for less than $500. What am I missing here?

> I've heard of Tesla owning 100% shares in China. Does that count as high tech?

Yes and it was a news story when it happened 2 years ago [1]. It could be that Trump’s tariffs were sufficient. Or there could be other agreements not wifey disseminated that allowed for that. Or China made this allowance strategically because electric car manufacturing in-country is easier to infiltrate with spies to exfil the technology you need (whereas non-electric car manufacturers don’t get this because China knows how to make those and getting a cut and building up the knowledge and expertise how to run those businesses is more important than the manufacturing itself).

Re whataboutism, I should have been clearer. Saying that we should meet China’s strategic and intentional aggressiveness in kind and why it’s a problem, to me, is 100% on topic and not “what about X” where X is unrelated to addressing the problem being discussed. An example of this would be like “sure China has concentration camps but what about Americ’s death penalty” - you have shifted the conversation away from the problem of China’s concentration camps to the problem of America’s death penalty. Both are problems but bringing up the latter in the context of a discussion about the former is generally unhelpful unless you’re making some kind of specific point/analogy.

What I was proposing is that a more effective way to go after China (rather than a trade war or targeting individual products of China) was “if these are the rules China wants Western companies to follow to have access to their domestic markets, then China gets the same rules just for them in foreign markets while competitors don’t get that restriction”. That’s literally how trading should be done. It’s the same reason I’m against allowing countries with poorer worker protection access to American markets without accounting for the costs that American workers create due to the enhanced protections.

What I was suggesting was whataboutism was the parent’s reply that “well sure China does unfair things in their market but the West does other unfair things too”. That’s totally unrelated and unhelpful. A fairer analysis would realize that most things in Western markets happen organically and aren’t unique to the West as regulatory capture and crony capitalism happen in China too and appear to be (at least to me) endemic to most economic activity humans are involved in. There are exceptions but to me China is following America’s playbook in large part for how they beat Great Britain at the technology game (the parallels are just uncanny). What’s intolerable is that the US government isn’t addressing this in any way.

Can you imagine if they had successfully purchased TikTok?
I don't think hackathons are always a gimmick, but then again I was probably too loose with my word choice. I mostly meant a period of sustained cooperation with a small group where most of the time is spent together, all meetings are canceled, and you don't try to split up work into bite sized pieces with any formality (like a story/jira ticket).

I agree that organizations that don't trust their engineers with any design or implementation decisions are wasting their talent and probably creating a lot of bored and burned out engineers. If an engineer wants to use a fancy new piece of tech and they can justify it, let them do it.
I suggest using Debrox then flushing with warm/hot water.

It feels good to scoop the goop out of your ears after a hot shower.
I imagine the hard part of securing <iframe /> tags isn't the sandbox, but instead maintaining user privacy. GitHub caches and proxies all of the images they render. One of the benefits of this is that a 3rd party can't fingerprint or otherwise log information about the requester. Seems a lot harder to get that right in the <iframe /> case.
I loved my AirPods. Then the batteries gave up the ghost, and I was left with small, expensive, probably toxic electronic garbage. It ruined the brand for me and I can't imagine buying another pair of AirPods.

Because he keeps saying there are not problems "yet" and trajectories / forecasts are clearly indicating a region-wide hospitalization crisis. He admits that a crisis will come, and just wants to wait; I believe it is wiser to preempt the crisis, particularly with a rapidly-growing epidemic and two-week latency between infection and hospitalization.
That would be fine. The software is distributed to you separately, and so any "derived work" resulting from installing your GPL software on Windows is owned by you anyway.

What would arguably not be fine, under my interpretation, would be if Windows would not function without a GPL component, that's built-in to the OS and distributed on the install disks and updated through Windows Update. Even if it's a self-contained binary, and you can navigate to it in the filesystem.

The standard is - would a reasonable person view the combination of GPL and non-GPL code as a single piece of software?
The folks who have noted that high price is seldom an obstacle and if anything, a feature for Apple insofar as it accessorises some kind of social signalling, are right on point.

As a road cyclist, there's a 100% parallel here to Specialized S-Works bike frames.
> There are many things that doctors do not recommend because they don't believe the average person can use it correctly.

> ...She told me that they don't usually prescribe that one because they don't trust the parents of their patients to correctly administer one drug only twice per day (A) when giving the other drug (C) 3 times (they are worried about overdoses of the twice daily medication A).

I wonder if they're not even worrying about "the average person", but a kind of "lowest common denominator" person. Depending on how severe an "overdose" is, that might be totally the right call. Even if only 1 in 100 patients would mess up and OD, prescribing the less-effective combination would actually end up helping a lot of patients.

IMHO, software engineers also end up infantilizing their users with similar "lowest common denominator" thinking, but usually with less justification.
> The world is not as simple as that one liner suggests. Everyone who sat out of the market since 2011 loudly shouting about a bubble.

And the world is not as simple as your rejoinder. 2011 came after a crisis unlike anything seen since the 1930's. And the 'fixes' to the economy since then have patched over rather than resolved the debt overhangs that led to the 2008 crisis. The great 'patch' was to print money. But the real economy (the physical universe that the financial universe simulates) still has constraints. Figuring out which one we trip over next is entrail-reading, but to think that constraints are no longer an issue is dangerous.
It would probably be a power user option wrt to geoIP. Maybe add a tag to the location to denote that this isn't very accurate / a geoIP location. You could even detect if your on wifi or not to say if it's a cellular geoIP, so it's extra inaccurate or similar.

You could even go full original whatsapp and add a status string thing :P
It depends on the project for me.

If it's a graphical tool a screenshot can help a lot in deciding it of does what I need.

If it's a library a quick code snippet can give me a feel of whether it'll be a good fit for my project

I do tend to agree about the "Developer MySpace" feel of a lot of repos though.
that feature will be reserved for AirPods Max Pro
It’s not evidence it’s a legit question if the US could get away with it they would as would any rational actor.
