Wow... this brought back memories. A decade ago I was on a (small) team that took over a project from another company. Our client had paid the other company to build it but wasn't entirely satisfied with the results. The product worked but it was a resource hog, very difficult to use, very expensive for what it did, and the other company wanted increasingly larger amounts of money to maintain it and add new features.

The entire project was a giant mess of technologies, to the point it looked like every dev who was on it used it to try out some random technology for personal curiosity. I mean... it used multiple RDBMSs, multiple programming languages, multiple formats for transporting information over the network. The set-up/build process was so complicated and fragile. It was insane, this project could have been done for probably 1/4th of the cost of less.

Project management - it's extraordinarily necessary when you have devs who think they are at work to personally entertain themselves rather than build the best product.
I don't think people were angry that the price was undervalued, the anger came about when it became apparent that hedge funds had been over-shorting the stock to the point of potential naked short selling.
I think it's worthwhile making a distinction between being anti-theist in terms of being very vocally against the idea of there being a god or gods and being an atheist but also anti-organized religion or against specific organizations.

It's pretty clear that the cultural position of religious organizations in many places has lead to enormous and enduring harm. Which is particularly galling given their claims around morality. Whilst this is true for non-religious organizations as well I won't give religious organizations a free pass because it opens up a claim of being anti-theist or an uppity atheist.
WSB is classic pump and dump wrapped up in memes. The forum deletes any postings that do not align with the current echo chamber that is pushing just a few stocks. It is a bro-filled boiler room that has suckered a lot of people. Brutal.

The key insight to why this is pump and dump and nothing more is that there was never a right time to sell for the masses on WSB, it was HLD all the way down.
Your website looks like a run of the mill static website. A competent engineer should be able to scale that to the moon on a raspberry pi.
Yes, video conferencing does it, but so does slack sometimes at startup, discord does it if you join a voice-enabled room, flash (RIP) used to do it in our HR time tracking app, and at home deviantart.com does it and games do it. However, whether or not a competent and interested nerd can figure out the underlying logic is completely beside the point. Normies don't stand a chance, so they just put up with (from their perspective) randomly broken or low-quality audio, until they can't, at which point they restart, switch devices, or maybe even buy a new device.

Any one of {Bluetooth SIG, device manufacturer, Microsoft} could have independently fixed the issue. Every one of them should have forseen it. None of them foresaw it and none of them fixed it, and years later it still lingers. Yikes.
its standard in audio. all mixers, guitar amps etc support them. big plug means stable wide signal, and it does not break. never had one break ever. even the shitty cables. they are well shielded.

I don't think these headphones are meant to be used for Audio Engineering but rather for casual listening at home or on the go. Complaining that the Airpods Max aren't suitable for audio engineering is like complaining that a Porsche 911 can't haul sheets of plywood and other building materials around. You would want a truck or van for that purpose, not a sports car. It's the same with the Airpods Max, if you want to do audio engineering you want studio monitors with their flat, static, "boring" sound and not more headphones meant for casual, "fun" listening.

> Well, it's no surprise that a product with a battery is less resilient than a product without one. But those products don't compete with each other.

But they _are_. By now I have seen many review videos that compare them with the typical audiophile/sound production headphones. E.g. Marques compared them with the Sennheiser HD800S [1].

> Also, cheaply available, standardized batteries don't address your e-waste concern either. So your post doesn't seem much different than someone being indignant or even sanctimonious about the wireless preference of others.

Does it not? If I can reuse the housing, the drivers, earpads, headband and just need to replace the battery when its dead, does this not reduce e-waste?
Also I do not condemn wireless headphones in general, I said it is a shame that products which could be used for many decades in the past become e-waste rather quickly in today's world. And that I would prefer the approach Shure is taking to reduce waste and only replace the highly degrading components (at least with their monitors).

Some large nonprofit arts organizations (orchestras, theatres, etc.) have privately expressed that the hiring of a "chief diversity officer" has simply become a necessary cost for organizations. Even if you have already been doing outreach for years or decades to attract a more diverse audience, activists will hold it against you that you do not have a formal, salaried position dedicated specifically and solely to this aim.
>> On their current trajectory they will go bankrupt, but it could take years.

A company with declining revenues, but lots of cash on hand, is ripe for takeover and liquidation. That places GameStop right alongside the quintessential takeover target: New England Wire and Cable. That was a good movie. Whether from bankruptcy or takeover, this could be the last party for GameStop.
Few things on AWS make sense financially. They're just leveraging the power of lock-in™. Why save money on AWS when you can save money on employee salaries?

I think maybe you are referring to those numbers people used to quote after mentioning a manpage (1) (5) and so on. I totally missed the boat on that one, and never learnt what these designations meant.
I think the legislation that may come from all of this is to limit margin accounts. When I signed up for an online brokerage years ago you couldn't trade on margin, which meant no option trading or day trading since when trading without a margin account, your cash has to clear. You had to go to their office and fill out forms and have a minimum balance.

With Robinhood everyone gets a margin account and the brokerage clearly can't support it with the tiny balances so many of their users carry. Their business model has forced other brokers to follow by offering free trades and everyone is on a margin account. This is a poor practice.

I'd support requirements like ensuring balances of at least $10k or more to qualify for margin. Robinhood is purposely designed to encourage day trading and other margin trades many users don't understand or that the infrastructure (not just RH, but the clearing houses, etc) can't and shouldn't support.

There's going to be a whole new world of pump and dumps like never before as so many people are hungry for quick money now and taking risks with their rent money they shouldn't be.

For what it's worth, the original guy betting on GME had a smart and well researched hypothesis and I hope he made his fortune. But the lemmings following have no business in this kind of thing.

Eh, if a bunch of X11 devs were tired enough of X11 they decided to drop it for working on Wayland I'm not upset at them for working on what they want to work on rather than what I want them to work on. I'll gladly take reinventing the wheel every 30 years over people dropping out altogether, though if they want to that's fine it's their own time and energy. If they did it for their own reasons instead of the community I'm glad if I still find value in what they made and indifferent if I didn't. It's not like I paid them to make me something or they owe me something.

I do wish tensions about it could be lower. I think there is real damage for all any time they rise.
> people generally don't choose a faith, they choose a community and set of religious practices

People generally don't choose a set of religious practices either. They are either born in that community or "convinced" to belong to it. People don't often have a choice between one or other "community and set of religious practices".
As I said, there are pain points. If you need application X to do Y and it doesn't work in wayland that might be a dealbreaker for you.

> Lay out content based on the viewport width, in CSS pixels.

This is wrong because the viewport width is not the same as the monitor width or the DPI: especially on big monitors running the browser fullscreen is very hard to use (my browser rarely exceeds more than ~50% width on a 2560x1440 monitor and even when i use a 1366x768 monitor - which btw is at 22", not some tiny laptop one - i very rarely use it maximized).
I think that's only true if you don't understand the development of power blocks between groups of people. Empowering someone to define policy regarding hiring gives them a lot of leverage over other people and groups, and it builds power blocks as members of each subclass of identity politics wants access to that power.

The press release is the least impactful long term consequence of the decision.
the homepage example is "a dog at the beach at night" on google vs evertrove. it shows google returning pics of daytime. i googled it and got night photos. is this a real comparison?

Unsure why you're linking that. Do you not realize by my first comment that I'm describing the theory as nonsense compared to what I wrote? edit: ah thanks for the clarification.
I'm of the impression that Apple implements a recycling program for their devices to address the e-waste concern. Provided their recycling program is credible, this seems like a reasonable solution--better even than analog headphones that will still go bad eventually with the user on the hook for locating a credible electronics recycling program (and more likely, throwing them in the dump).

That's probably the main bear argument concerning RISC-V--at least as it applies to the West. ARM has a big ecosystem, it licenses at reasonable rates, so if you want to design a chip, cost-savings associated with RISC-V are in the noise. (And it's at least a bit unclear what other benefits associated with open source software come into play.)
> The word "damage" doesn't appear in the commen

I was "converting" from _injuries_ (in relation to seat belts) to _damage_ (in relation to masks) as the closest parallel I could make. My apologies that it wasn't clear.

----

>> Are cloth masks useless "theater"?

> Again, this wasn't something anyone in the comment chain claimed.

I was grouping the comment about how most of what had been done was "COVID theater" and the comment about masks together. The overall post read, to me, in a way that made it sound like the former also applied to the later. That may not have been intended.

----

>> However, it is perfectly applicable when aimed at the "this is useless" part.

> That quote is a fabrication.

It's another wording for part of the original post. The double quotes were intended to indicate the grouping/meaning, not the actual words. I've been using ">" where something is an actual quote, which is generally standard for text communication, but I can see where it might be confusing to someone not used to it.

> most of it was "COVID theater" rather than intended to actually make people safer

That statement, I believe, comes across very clearly as presenting a lot of what was done as useless.

----

I'm going to stop on this thread, as replying to multiple individual blocks of text (as I have done here) tends to be a sign that things have either gotten off topic or people are going to stop caring.

The high level summary of what I originally meant was that I believe the steps we are taking are very useful, but agree we should be doing more.
> it's missing the most important part of a headphone review: a measurement of the frequency response curve!

Why is it the most important part? As you said this is a main-stream headphone review.

From my experience, most consumers don't enjoy listening to music w/ a flat curve - if that is where you're going with this. I've sunk several thousand dollars into high-end gear, and even I don't want a flat curve. A flat curve is most useful if you are an audio engineer working in a studio. I'd much rather use different headphones for different kinds of music, than compromise and use a flat-curve which sounds incredibly boring (to me).
X isn't particularly good either, and even older ...
This. I've been reading a lot of WSB posts lately and the main sentiment doesn't seem to be "let's get rich" but "let's make them bleed". Many people don't care about losing that money too much and the whole situation is probably funny and entertaining.
I should say that if you are touchscreen user, wayland solves a lot of problems. I literally can't get touchegg or other crummy solutions to work in xorg for gestures, but in wayland with gnome it just works.
I have heard no claims of naked short selling that came with any evidence. Not saying that it hasn’t happened, just that there are other explanations which seem to be more relevant / explicatory here.
Wow are my eyes deceiving me, but did they just blindly link to anything hit on the web that links back to them? Just from the titles it doesn't look like the backlinks hold too flattering a view on their work?

The existence of anthropological precursors to Judaic religions is supporting evidence for the conclusion that all forms of Judaism are a phenomenon of human mythology and story telling rather than an actual explanation about the inner workings of the universe.

Curious as to how Christians rationalize around this. If you're christian how does the existence Zoroastrianism fit with your world view?

I am not interested in the validity of your justification and thus I won't debate it (that would be against the rules on HN). I am just interested in the justification itself.

Sure and also the short options themselves have a price tag. That cannot be very good for an option against a stock in that state.

Also I think this is being over-analyzed. Reading the comments the majority of users there don't claim they really know all the details. To me this is a protest against hedge funds.
While the greater fool strategy may generally be a losing one over enough iterations and time, it is very possible to make huge money on these plays in the short term. It is not always irrational to buy into an overpriced asset.

For example GME was wildly overpriced at $100 relative to basically every metric and yet it would have been an incredible buy.

I'm not advocating that anyone actually do this, I'm just saying that you are over simplifying by only acknowledging the value side of the equation.
People 10-20 years ago could do it just fine, I'm sure you can, too :)
I'm not being facetious when I say that maybe only the bots think that anymore.
Implementation experience reports come to mind.
There is no specific deadline for short sellers, only interest payments and margin maintenance requirements. If a short seller fails to meet margin maintenance requirements, they will have to close the position or deposit more assets as collateral within a few days or their brokerage will take action for them. This is the classic short-squeeze scenario -- short sellers are forced to close the position to meet margin requirements, and in doing so they drive up the price of the stock and trigger margin calls for more short sellers.

Eventually Gamestop could be forced to issue more shares to improve the liquidity of their stock, and wsb would be less relevant.

My guess is that in a week or two we will be hearing sob stories from people who bought GME at the peak thinking the price would go higher. At this point the wsb crowd is lining the pockets of hedge funds who are taking advantage of the situation -- unsophisticated investors trying to profit from a short squeeze are an easy target.

At one point, building Go and running its test suite on OpenBSD would replace /dev/null with a standard flat file. After some time, the disk would fill up because everything piped to /dev/null was now being stored on disk. Not to mention the additional I/O happening.

Go already uses libc by default on many platforms. But there are issues - sometimes the libc behaves differently than Go's documented APIs, but this is primarily a documentation issue. Contrariwise, sometimes, Go's native APIs don't behave on systems due to platform-specific implementation bugs.

I think this is a good move overall.
I’d like to echo some other comments and mention that this is the way to learn things like this. If I want to learn a new programming language, I write a program in it. I think the author’s Createservice script might be useful!
> It used to be like this: You spend A LOT of money for really nice headphones and use them (potentially) your lifetime. Or hand it down to your kids as your hearing gets worse. Sound doesn’t change much and the plug has been around for ages.

That's a pretty tiny market. It was also "you spend ten dollars at the grocery store for cheap Sony headphones or earbuds and then they break and then you do it again. Sound quality is terrible."

They did have fewer batteries, though, at least, in terms of the disposability problem.
As others have stated, it's usually more about compatability. Most (nonportable) headphone amps will have a 1/4" plug rather than the 3.5mm, and it makes more sense from the "female" amp side to convert the larger 1/4" --> 3.5mm than the other way around. Many home "audiophile" headphones I've used (Audeze or Beyerdynamic) actually have the smaller 3.5mm jack, but because they are so focused on home use (bulky, open backed, expensive, and not very shovable into a backpack), users rarely use them connected to a phone or laptop.
