I just tried a search for a relatively obscure game I like, and I was pleasantly surprised to see lots of links to websites I hadn't seen before. I use DDG and while it's better at this than Google, Mojeek seems to be better at showing more obscure sites. To me, this is a blessing.

Of course, that's just one search, but based on this one search alone I've added Mojeek to my bookmarks and will be using it to find the more off-beat paths on the net now.
Assuming they last 10 years (Apple stops selling them after 3 years and stops supporting 7 after that), you replace the battery ($79) and ear pads ($69) at the 5 year mark, that's (550+79+69)/120 months = ~$5.80/month or about $.20 per day.
> Ugly - Alot of owners now are pulling a perfectly legal scam of listing a place at a certain price point and then charging an extremely high cleaning fee. When booking it, you are then shocked by the extreme fees, one place (5 days stay) was charging $400 for their cleaning fee.

I'm not sure I follow here, the cleaning fee is announced before you confirm the booking isn't it?
In a way it's similar to airlines having cheap tickets to then adding seat-choosing fee, bagage fee, etc. The initial low price is slightly deceptive to appear cheaper on aggregators, isn't it?

Here the "scam" is they use same deceptive practice to appear cheaper on the Airbnb map?

For any serious booking, people explore their options and open a few tabs of different listings to pick, since they have to check other things (smoker/non-smoker, pets/no pets, etc). The cleaning fee for the trip is listed there.

Some owners prefer long term stays, so putting a flat higher cleaning fee is a good mechanism to incentivise longer stays imo, as yes, cleaning is time consuming.

Maybe the Map itself could improve to show the total price for the trip instead of base-rate-per-night.

Poland is the China of Europe. But in relations with the real China, Poland is like a colony: exporting raw resources(like copper), importing manufactured goods. And Polish president acts servile towards Xi Jinping.

If I had to guess it's because salaries will vary WIDELY with the location and cost of living, and relative size of the tech industry in each city. Looking at the website right now I see a huge amount of job posts in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Africa, as a category, is an immense place.

For two jobs doing exactly the same role, salaries would be very different in Cape Town and in Accra, Ghana.

Yeah the particularly annoying thing about the cleaning fee is that it isn't included in refunds. They advertise a 50% refund if you can't go on short notice. But actually it doesn't include the first night or the cleaning fee so it's more like 10-20% in practice.

WH1000XM4 is still much cheaper than the apple headphones. I doubt it's studio quality but I also doubt that of apple's offering (or the need for such quality).
Who’s the definitive authority of “level of art”? There isn’t one because, by definition, art is subjective. Just because you see it as “lower effort” or whatever doesn’t mean it can’t be a high “level of art”. Piet Mondrian drew lines and colored in some of the boxes. Seems pretty amateurish to the “uneducated eye”, but they’re still held in high regard.
The promo for this headset outright state that significant functionality require an iPhone or iPad (you know, oppressively locked down and all). It is over double the price of comparable headsets.

No, there was no chance you were ever buying this headset. You may see it as legitimizing your grievances, but I don't think any reasonable person actually buys that.

You, 20 days ago, regarding Apple - "Don't buy their shit. Period."

Of the actual people who would buy this, I'd wager that 99%+ have iPhones. Being able to charge the headset with the same cable you use to charge your phone seems pretty obvious.

> My question is how someone can justify paying $550 dollars for headphones from Apple.

I think Apple may also be finding out the same thing. These are clearly awesome headphones, but it remains to be seen for whom these are not just cool, but indispensable.

Finding that out will help them continue to target the right customers when (I assume) they lower the price in the future and improve its capabilities.
I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. As a bootstrapped company, we often worry that someone with lots of venture funding (like Slack) will enter our space with a free product, making it difficult for those of us who actually have to turn a profit to compete.
Theres a lot of code in chrome that is not the rendering engine.
I'd actually agree with that, they're probably pretty great in the ways that you've mentioned.

Which is why I'm sad that they'll become obsolete after a while. I'm sure they'd still make great studio headphones for listening at home in 15 years when the battery is long dead (if they worked passively).

> if you’re capable of being alone social connection isn’t always load-bearing for your happiness and fulfillment.

I don't disagree with you, but I do think it's worth considering that maybe we are happiest when social connection is load-bearing.

A life where no one needs you and you need no one is a life with no stakes at all. When I think back on the experiences in my life that were the most meaningful, that made me feel my life was deeply worth living, it's almost always times where I did something important for someone or someone did something important for me. At the very least, it's times where a meaningful experience was shared with people I care about.

There is a trend in the world (and all over this thread) that the ultimate goal of life is invulnerabtily. To subtract everything that could possibly hurt you. I get that. I do that too. But I have learned in the past couple of years how high a cost that carries.

If you never expose your soft spots to anyone, you never experience the absolutely profound joy and connection of having someone who sees you, warts and all, and earns your trusts and loves you completely.
I don't get this reaction.

You and the average HNer have all sorts of spending excesses in your life from rent to UberEats to your phone to your vehicle to your grocery lists to your hobbies to the things you buy your children to all the crap in your house that dwarf the price of some nice headphones.

Scraping together $500 is not a lot for something you will use daily for years. I think it's a better investment than a TV. The only difference is that you apparently don't want them.

For some reason people will scrutinize the price of something they don't want while being blind to how much they spend on all the things they do want.

e.g. we don't have to go very far back in time to have tallied up $500 you've spent in your life on unneeded food that gave you seconds of pleasure only to be shat out hours later, yet you're disgusted how someone else might choose to spend their $500, and on something like a tech gadget. It's a very weird judgemental reflex and quite a bit obnoxious to see.
No, it isn't. It states the issue at hand and gives the facts available to us.

The item you've linked (the filing by the Texas AG against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin) is weird.

It seems to think there's some serious difference between mail-in and absentee voting in GA. In GA, the term absentee voting encompasses both early voting and mail in voting. The only absentee voting that has signature verification is the mail-in component (IDs are checked instead for early voting).

And it appears to make the same "error" you've continued to make: it conflates rejection for signature mismatch and rejection for all reasons, when the signature mismatch rejections are a subset of all reasons.
$400 definitely seems absurdly high, but I wonder if covid related disinfecting has anything to do with charging higher than usual cleaning fees?
Is it though? There are plenty of other platforms that people don't think twice about booking on. Booking.com, Trivago, etc.

Their real value is that when a lot of people think "I'll book somewhere", they now go to Airbnb first, much like when people think "I'll buy something" they go to Amazon first. But I think that's a fairly weak "moat" on the scale of things.
What? This makes no sense. Capitalism isn't the problem, lack of boundaries is.

My best friend lived upstairs from her parents for years. It was her own apartment but the arrangement was hell on earth. Multiple times a day every day her mom would come barging in (and I do mean barging) to insert herself into whatever was going on in my friend's apartment, make nasty comments, or borrow/take something. Her mom eventually just stopped buying her own stuff because she just would take whatever my friend had if she needed it, plus it gave her more reason to bother my friend more often, which seemed to be her favorite activity in the world. Her mom even stopped driving her own car and just took my friend's whenever she wanted to go somewhere. The constant stress of the situation was so bad for my friend, it legitimately was ruining her health.
Yup. You can get some hands-on using the Hercules emulator, but it's running old versions of the OSes due to licensing. That can give you the basics, tho, because Mainframe OSes tend to be pretty stable over time.

Beyond that, IBM has a ton of educational resources you could leverage. At one time they had a program where you could get an account on a mainframe, but I don't know if they do that any more.

Udemy has some mainframe/Cobol tracks. I assume other on-line training does as well.

There are a number of colleges that have mainframe focused degree tracks (Columbus State University has one). These days, you could probably find one that does it on-line.

To simplify, the hardware is sending some ACPI signals which tell the laptop to wake up. For some reason, sometimes they fire when you don't want them to fire.

Incidentally I had this very problem when using Mac Os on a Macbook 2015 and I couldn't do much about it. When I started using linux on said Macbook at least I could disable ACPI signals.

The first thing I do in any linux laptop I own is disable all ACPI signals and setup a script to do so at every boot.
Then you just need to have a DE to suspend after X amount of inactivity (often the default) and you're set.

Sure, you won't turn off/on your laptop by closing the lid, but it should work fine, turning on / off with power button.
"BPA-free" doesn't mean much. The industry has been moving on from BPA due to (very reasonable) fears about human consumption, but it appears manufacturers simply moved onto other BPA-like alternatives such as BPS and BPF that have not been as extensively studied, and which may have the same health hazards.

Why Soft Skills Are Key to Success in Tech
Not quite automation in the traditional sense but I built a pseudo KVM which allows me to switch between my work and personal MBPs. With the press of a button it will switch my 32" 4K monitor's input to the 'other' device as well as my apple bluetooth keyboard and trackpad.

It connects to both laptops through bluetooth and has a LiPo battery making it completely wireless. I 3d printed an enclosure that lets me mount it out of sight underneath my desktop (think up-down controls for a standing desk).

This lets me easily switch between computers through the day without plugging in/re-pairing/etc.

It's still needs a bit of refinement but overall, it's quite nice and makes switching devices painless.
You've been downvoted but clearly heavy objects falling over in workshops where workers might be squished is not meant to be part of their corner-cutting rapid prototyping approach to rocket design. That's an industrial accident, not prototyping. Rockets blowing up on launch pads is fine, that's to be expected. But that's not what this is.
This is also what org-mode[0] does.

My files are 'logbook', 'life', 'project-1', 'project-2', etc. At any time I can hit a key and capture an idea/meeting to any of those places, and as I'm taking notes I can mark anything as a todo and schedule/deadline them. In the 'agenda' I can see a single overview of all my todo items, and my schedule, from all my notes.

I've tried a lot of systems (paper, apps, cli notes, etc) and org-mode clicks in a way nothing else has for me.

SpaceX blowing up a Crew Dragon capsule wouldn't be good either, but can you do the fast development testing and expect some failures, and don't go near nuclear material until much later in the process.
Re: doom and gloom, I'm less worried about the immediate effects of climate change than I am about the knock-on effects. By which I mean wide scale war. For example, large areas in India (and other hot, humid places) may see lethal wet bulb temperatures during heatwaves within a few decades. I'm not looking forward to seeing how things play out when nuclear powers like India and Pakistan have to deal with hundreds of millions of their citizens needing to relocate.

Some disciplines just don't lend themselves to the "rapid prototyping" mindset. Imagine a process engineer scaling up a chemical reaction in the pilot plant and neglecting the cooling capacity of the reaction vessel. A thermal runaway is encountered, and the vessel contents, 100s of liters of flammable organic solvent are distributed throughout the building.

The fire chief will want to have a word with the rapid prototyper, sizing the thermal budget has been practice for 100 years.

Software engineers have an odd mindset towards bugs. It's already an outrage that when you activate a new cellphone the first thing the device does is download gigabytes of updates. It's a disgrace.
Not sure if they are referring specifically to this, but as of February 2021, Atlassian will stop selling new on-premise Confluence licenses.

A phone needs to reboot like once a month.

A computer from the 80s probably rebooted multiple times a day.

How much effort is someone going to put into an event that happens once a month vs investing that same time into something like optimizing battery life or taking better pictures?

Also, in my personal experience with Android/Linux mobile devices, phones in 2020 boot significantly faster than phones in 2010.
I recall that Facebook's first day closed at or near the offer price: Opened at $38 and closed at $38.23. That's a masterful IPO pricing accomplishment, meaning, FB left $0.23 per share on the table.

Moreover, the stock traded below the open for 5 quarters before starting it's impressive rise. Even with that pause, buying at the open and holding till now would have yielded nearly 27% annualized return.

It's just my opinion, but ABNB missing by more than 100% ($140 close vs. $68 open) is a major fail on the part of their CFO.

For a consumer oriented product? Maybe. But if you ever look into high-end headphones you'll find that there's a stupidly large amount of models in the $1000-5000 range. $500 is a midrange price bracket.
I have the WH1000XM4. It's like a Renault near a Mercedes when comapred with these ones (buld quality) or near BO n95. Depends what you want. My right earcup (right where it pivots) broke 2 weeks in. 100% plastic. ANC is good though I give them that. Also, "much cheaper" is only a feature when all other aspects match.
This is sad to me. This guy seems to have written a genuine post about growing his business to $400 MRR [1], but it leads with self deprecation, and then he follows it with this take down of... himself?

Agree, largely because AirBnB tends to have higher platform and cleaning fees.

I also have a hard time understanding why AirBnB is treated as crown jewel of success for using $6 billion in raised capital and more than 6,000 employees to copy what VRBO already did well (and with substantially less resources).

(Honestly, I would like to understand this, if someone can explain it to me).

> Sleep and hibernate have nothing to do with drivers.

I think this is halfway accurate. Drivers are part of the problem and firmware is the other. Other folks in this thread have gone on to explain it better than I can, so I'll just point you to them.

That said, I think things like the new firmware update manager that connects device creators to the Linux ecosystem so they can provide smooth and regular updates to users are pivotal to solving these kinds of problems.

I've had less problems on PopOS due to this. Firmware updates have at times completely eradicated the more usual problems I experienced with Linux, which in an uneducated guess, probably boiled down to interoperability.
I won't comment on this one as anything negative about SpaceX gets huge downvote! I'm not sure what kind of engineering mentality goes after people who don't share their fanboism! On my previous comment on the Elon Musk comment regarding SN8's "success", every single comment I've made got -4 rating! Silencing people with downvoting them massively is the last thing I'd expect from self-respected engineering minds! Well, I just commented! Feel free to downvote!

A hacked-together app that I use to curate my Spotify playlists while driving (using my car's steering wheel buttons)

E.g. double-clicking pause/play removes the currently-playing song from a playlist, while letting the song finish adds it to my "liked" playlist

In this example, I see Apple as one of those armies that only allows you to take groceries from their blessed vendors into the walls (some rumor about razor blades in fruit from the other shops?). They charge those grocery shops for this privilege.
