"Has anyone had good experiences with microphones on Linux"

I've not had any issues with external mics and usb interfaces. Onboard mics aren't really that good to begin with; you'll want to get some sort of external lavalier mic, or a condenser or cardioid dynamic. Onboard mics and other omnidirectional mics aren't great because they pick up sounds from all over. A cardioid polar pattern helps a lot with cutting down on sound.
In Brazil there is a 3 second delay before calls start charging. [1]

So we would call multiple times, speaking fast during the first 3 seconds then hanging up.

Then they blocked it, after 10 3 sec calls calls and you couldn't make calls for a while.

This is why, even though I stand firm behind the fact, that psychedelic experiences changed my life, I stay sceptic about changing body/brain chemistry over longer periods of time.

I used to macrodose and get immensely creative over a week or so. With a happy outlook on nature and all things uncontrollable around me.

But then the high died some day. Lethargy came back. Lack of actual structure and the 'happy go lucky' attitude derailed whatever tied my past with plans for the future.

Microdosing seemed to help from time to time, but mostly I just get distracted with random consumption instead of planned, structured and thought through creation.
I was disappointed at the end of the article, because there was no video of they using the keyboard. I love the project!
Even just better lighting alone is a big step up. I started using this cheap desk-mounted mini ring light (with a slightly warm light) for calls, lighting the shade side of my face, and it makes your video look a lot more professional and flattering.

Google must have seen this coming. It was never going to be the privacy savior Google billed it as, so why push forward with the concept? We have to look deeper to understand what value FLOC provides to Google. They can exclusively gather tracking info through the browser they control, and they can weaken competitor’s privacy arguments by claiming that they do not track individuals.
Related to your open back headphones comment: I hate using closed back/ noise canceling headphones while talking in calls. Fortunately, I don't have anyone around me so I don't need them but I can't imagine having to use them and listening to my own voice through my skull.

I'm currently using the HD58X but I might look into getting the SHPs as a "beater" pair with the VModa mic.

we are not talking about new drugs in general - we are talking specifically about vaccines. Here is an opportunity to easily prove your point: show me significant examples of serious side effects from vaccines 6+ months after they were administered.

It's clear with statements like "This new Covid Vaccine is not a true vaccine" that you are just parroting anti-vax talking points. Nobody changed the definition of vaccines and mRNA vaccines fit the definition no matter how you describe them

It's in the letter because they are accused of not doing it.
He is still talking about a situation where people are trying to use Bitcoin as a currency and the technical challenges they'd face in that scenario.

Bitcoin as currency did not fail because of technical issues. It failed because the financial incentives to use it as such are not there.

The only thing that keeps me using Chrome from time time is the in-place translation feature.
If anything comparable was added to Firefox (which I mainly use), I would be more than happy to get rid of Chrome once and for all.

And yes, I'm aware of the extensions that offer similar functionality, but unfortunately they still have some way to go before they can reach parity with Chrome translator.
I'd prefer to not get pedos off with my hiring policies. Have you considered this may encourage them to act again?

I love my Korg Minis, both the monotribes and the kaoss pads. They don't have a lot of features, but I see them kind of like musical Lego. You just plug them into each other in different ways and then just play around all day. And I think buying all of them, plus enough cables to connect them all, would only set you back about $800 total.
This is fascinating stuff. 300V power supply!

You don't deserve the downvotes. We are using mainly Firefox at work and sometimes, not often but sometimes, Firefox refuses to load the current file in the debugger. The only solution is to restart Firefox. I get why some are annoyed by this when they are in a debugging session. Although the last time it happened to me was one or two Firefox releases ago. Maybe it got fixed.
You make an excellent point. It enables them to create a "workout platform" where all their products interface directly with their fitness tracker. Their customers presumably wouldn't mind wearing a separate Peloton fitness tracker while working out whereupon they could then upload their data to their phone if they so desire. Then they can move all the multi-device interaction complexity to a single product line, the fitness tracker, and the reset of their portfolio only needs to interact with a single product - the fitness tracker. This actually makes a lot of sense.
Risk of rare blood clotting higher for Covid-19 than for vaccines
Someone else mentioned the varation in height over time and among populations, so I won't go into that. But:

> No? I'm saying that (as is documented by the olympic records!) the peak ability has increased. Things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mile_run_world_record_progress...

This doesn't tell us anything. Assume a normal distribution of running speed among people who seriously practice running. Assume precision timing instruments were invented in the last couple hundred years.

What we would expect to see, even if physiological conditions haven't changed at all, is a steady decline in record mile times as you sample more and more people on the right side of the distribution, until eventually better times require more and more extreme, rare outliers and average times between records begins increasing.

That does not mean that the fastest mile ever was run in 1999, or that athleticism is increasing, or anything. (It might be. There are certainly more people training for specifically competitive athletic reasons than ever before.) But it would not be surprising to learn that the fastest mile ever was run 2000 years ago.

Consider this footprint analysis of a random Australian aboriginine. [1] They calculate him as running at 23mph, which is comparable to Usain Bolt's record setting average speed of 23mph in a 100m sprint. Did we get lucky finding the footprints of one of the fastest Australians in history? Maybe. Or maybe he just wasn't that unusual in an environment where people ran a lot.

Honestly though, seeing people's faces/active backgrounds is super distracting. If I'm actually paying attention on a call I'm usually looking down off to the side of the screen so I can focus.

I recently setup a camera pointing down at my keyboard/mouse instead of my face for demonstrating a keyboard that I built (analog hall effect--from scratch!) and I think that's good enough to let people know, "I'm here" without being super distracting (assuming I turn off the LEDs and the gigantic LED matrix display haha).
Can’t speak for OP but I was referring to the overall landscape- the arks, Tesla’s, and even Bitcoin itself. People are buying these simply because they’ve been going up by orders of magnitude in a very short time. When hoards of people are flocking to investments because they’ve been going up and applying fundamentals after the fact, you’ve got yourself a bubble. Yesterday the complete mania around Bitcoin and the opportunity for Coinbase was palpable, particularly among those I follow who couldn’t have cared less about crypto six months ago.
What about LTO batteries? They have massive cycle lifetimes, and seem to not cause any issues if they fail.
I disagree; I think the person you're replying to is completely correct. To rebuild the safety of a modern engineering system isn't somebody in their garage can easily do. With skills, you can definitely improve things, but not to the statistical level that modern car manufacturers have achieved.

It's similar in microelectronics. I can do a ton of stuff with an arduino because it uses really basic old, tough eletronics. I can put too much current into a pin, ok the pin dies but the AVR is still fine. A modern ESP32? A little bit of current or voltage above the rating and the whole thing is toast.
Sadly you are probably right about that. And so here we are...
Worse, far worse, just forget Bluetooth.
I remember reading case studies in college about the failures of the B1 bomber procurement process. Unclear if any lessons were learned decades later.
This makes the decision to kill their RSS feed last year a bit easier to understand.
Indeed, although "enjoy" might be too far.

Reddit used to have subreddits dedicated to gore and watching people die. There are serial killer groupies out there. An acquaintance of mine works in the judicial system and has no problem screening violent evidence. People who are not horrified in the same way by things clearly exist.

For jobs where normal people tend to develop psychological problems but that need doing, seems like we should be looking for people who are less likely to have those issues.
He Was Convicted of a Bombing Plot. Was It a Setup?
Key findings:

* In this study of over 500,000 COVID-19 patients, CVT occurred in 39 in a million patients.

* In over 480,000 people receiving a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), CVT occurred in 4 in a million.

* CVT has been reported to occur in about 5 in a million people after first dose of the AZ-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine.

* Compared to the mRNA vaccines, the risk of a CVT from COVID-19 is about 10 times greater.

* Compared to the AZ-Oxford vaccine, the risk of a CVT from COVID-19 is about 8 times greater.
maybe try screening for people that are less likely to be affected by it first?

I say try because it probably isn't going to be easy.
When I gave a friend a ride in my 2001 Miata, the very first thing he said was 'huh, you have a rigid frame, if I'd done that turn in my old MG, you could see the frame flexing'
I would add potential issues operating it from advanced airbases in a major conflict. This planes needs so much high tech ground gear to be at 100% capability, that I think it will have serious problems if air filed ops are actively threatened. And in theaters where air bases aren#t threatened by a near-peer enemy you don't need haf of the F-35s capabilities.

Using it to defend Europe against a Russian invasion is different, so.
I'm not sure, but I would have thought it would be the opposite — you should not pay to read (or read at all) biased journals such as the NYT, WSJ, or Fox etc., and instead only pay attention to journals with minimal bias like Reuters and AP.
I'd suspect politics, monetary incentives (not coarse bribes, but rather discounts, money for other programs, soft political support, and so on). And behind all that, "Can't get fired for buying IBM" syndrome[0].

They recuse in some cases but not most. Given that all Justices are expected but not guaranteed to vote in cases, it makes the most sense to have an odd number to minimize the cases of ties.
> undefined behavior

What does that even mean in the absence of a formal standard and competing compiler implementations? (Hint: nothing.)

If you refuse to define anything then you automatically make the "undefinedness" problem go away. (But not the pain it causes.)

> Rust's type system and safety guarantees put a floor on how crappy the code can be

No. The floor on crappiness is defined by the problem domain. Powerful features allow for powerful takes on crappiness.

Unless you want Rust to stay a teaching language forever, you must necessarily introduce abusable features. (See Python for a real-time slow-motion elaboration of this train wreck if you don't believe me.)
This doesn't describe Python at all though. In Python objects have some data structure (usually a dict but not necessarily with __slots__) that hold the object's attributes but that's not the whole identity of the object.

Because by this definition makes C++ and Java look dynamic with vtables.
You don't really need v8 JavaScript functions built-in in the database when you use SQLite, because SQLite is running in the same process than your application. The round trips between your application and SQLite cost almost nothing.

Signal: Only Allow Emojis as Reactions
Hmm, it's an Electron app, so it could be cool to be able to click a button on a theme site which launches an instance of VS Code with an already-applied theme, similar to Theia[1].

Of course, I'm sure this would take longer than it sounds like it would.

Jeff Bezos says Amazon needs to do a better job for employees in final letter
My point is that, if a country no longer derives its power and wealth from controlling the banking system through military might, rather than freely giving up that power, it's going to flex that military might in other ways to ensure that it maintains that power and wealth. If crypto merely displaces military resources (as I think it would) instead of replacing them (as you seem to be arguing), then it's not really fair to count the military as part of the banking system's energy/carbon footprint.
Or make the update available for download to install via usb drive.
I think the people behind drug prohibition need reckoning. They have caused untold suffering, especially by preventing people from accessing medication they needed.
There is no justification for drug prohibition to continue. If anyone thinks otherwise, then it only means they have not educated themselves enough about the topic, they profit from the current status quo or simply they take pleasure in causing suffering to other people.
Unfortunately the majority of people who will read this thoughtful and inspiring letter will only see trivial stories about evil corporations. Stories they have been fed by the media and have accepted without thinking.

Tech companies are the only inspiring institutions that remain in America today. Everything else - government, media, academia, military - is in decay and has lost all of its legitimacy.

And amidst that sole set of institutions that inspire, thrive and lead us into the future, Amazon is one of the most inspiring.

Jeff, thank you for helping prove that humans can create great things.
Wouldn't a paramedic also need to type numbers? 31 is more than the number of letters, but not more than the number of letters + 10 digits.
Did they confirm that this shutdown also includes that? It’s entirely possible they can float this endpoint on some current backend and this will just go retire on an island with the Y2K bug.
Oh man, yeah, the sweat thing is painful. I don't know why they can't have the buttons work in "water mode". I sweat a lot in the summer and run in the rain ...
Advance Wars, Joan of Arc, Hyperdevotion Noire, Fire Emblem...

And Nobunaga's ambition -- which I didn't start because the setup screen (in English) looked so complicated I figured it would be easier to just play the game in Japanese (or for that matter, play Assassin's Creed with Slovenian voices and Cantonese subtitles... Doesn't make it any harder to make the fall off that tower...)
You know a good portion of this country is fighting to continue working in coal mines, right?
It literally shows up as an audio device in Windows sound settings, and "just works" - what prompted you to reach for documentation?

Unless you tried one of their more advanced offerings, like Voicemeeter - which also looks pretty intuitive judging from the screenshots. (Never tried it, on Linux I get this capability via JACK.)
My former employer (major exchange) switched from Parity / Openethereum after the last major issue. The Parity devs gave it up when they switched to focusing on Polkadot and the community is not super committed to it. Geth is the safer choice.

I think people should be generally afraid of any substance that can I give long term personality changes with just a few doses, sometimes even with a doctor's help.
I pay for NPR. I mean, I know that's different because their content isn't behind a paywall.

My mom pays for the NYT, but I think that's mostly for access to their cooking site.

I think these big news companies need to form a federation or something where you buy access at one and get rights to read over multiple different magazines.
I think with the benefit of hindsight structural adhesives make things easier. Way easier to apply glue and clamp (or whatever the instructions are) than to weld somewhere you can't see without a mirror or building a custom spot welder tip that replicates what the robot used in the factory. I also like that you can not ruin the paint around an area where you apply adhesive whereas welding usually cooks off the adjacent paint. This is very beneficial in environments with corrosion. Holy crap are the consumables expensive compared to welding though.

> Things like saying you'd need proprietary filler to match the composition, that welds would be poison, etc. In reality it doesn't really make a difference.

The nice thing is that the car OEMs are high enough volume that even if they use something exotic someone will come along with special consumables or procedures or procedures or whatever that makes it trivial to work with. I hope some other OEM's follow Tesla with the stainless and we get cheap weld backing tape as a result.
That cruise ship example is wild. To do all that work (450,000 man hours) to just add 50 feet to the length of the ship... a 12% increase in passenger capacity. Obviously it must be cost effective but on face value it looks crazy.
It's extremely easy for the government to accidentally create monopoly suppliers.

If Amazon signs a 5 year contract to get all their delivery trucks from Ford, GM isn't going to go out of business; and when they're re-negotiating the contract in 5 years time there'll still be a vibrant competitive market.

But if you make tanks or jet fighters or railroad rails, you might only have one customer. And if your only customer signs a 5 year deal with someone else, you're out of business.
I think that is the parents point...
I have that and NoScript. Initially I had empty text too, but after allowing only the base domain on NoScript the text appeared. Probably OP has this too?
This is definitely worse than the fingerprinting being replaced, because whereas the old methods were inadvertently using browser traits unrelated to user behavior for tracking, this is an intentional feature for user tracking related intentionally to user interests.

I, too, have the Q2U.

The great thing about the setup, aside from the microphone being solid, is that it gives you an upgrade path but works right out of the box fully (mic, stand, pop-filter, USB or XLR).

Phase 1: Plug it in via USB, use the included stand. GO!

Phase 2: Upgrade the stand to a desk-isolating one (e.g. arm/freestanding, etc).

Phase 3: Upgrade to XLR instead of USB (e.g. buy an audio interface/mixer).

Phase 4: Upgrade the microphone at some point.

You can literally buy it and stop at Phase 1 forever, but if you wish you can use it as a jumping off point to a higher end setup and won't have to buy it all at once (easily $300 or more total, for arm/audio interface/pro grade microphone).
The time traveler post is really great . But the most absolutely bit is the "giving in to our greed" :

"Why didn't we abandon Bitcoin, and move to another system? Well, we tried of course. We tried to step over to an inflationary cryptocurrency, but nobody with an IQ above 70 was willing to step up first and volunteer. After all, why would you voluntarily invest a lot of your money into a currency where you know your wealth will continually decline? The thing that made Bitcoin so dangerous to society was also what made it so successful. Bitcoin allows us to give into our greed."

The whole social benefits thing that we somehow had up to now was pure luck.

If bitcoin hodlers keep a low profile and don't spend there would not be any way to identify them and redistribute wealth. This is especially true for those who mined btc.

You sure? Thought it was in a failed state earlier?

I think a block recently processed on OE, that's why it's showing as good.

But yeah, don't think it's fixed yet.
So purposely breaking state means it breaks, gotcha.
"How to get shot in the airport."

Damn I had a good laugh at that.
The weld will be stronger, but the heat-affected metal will become weaker than the rest of the metal, which is why if it breaks, it will be next to the weld.
"One point not to miss is that they screened 1000 patients to come up with the study population of 59."

I'd be curious how many 10,000s if not 100,000s of people pharmaceutical companies go through, along with changing/crafting their selection criteria to keep out people/symptoms they know have more/strong "side"/harmful effects with, until they get acceptable looking results; propaganda using truth - "Misleading with true fact" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lls_2tfWcUI
I'm not sure if I really buy most if not all of these arguments, especially the security one. Haven't we already established security through obscurity doesn't work that well?

Ultimately, a simple "because I don't want to and I don't want people to copy me, thus I'm not making it trivial" would have been enough.
It existed and was too fucking expensive for what it did and how it worked even in the terms of mechanical keyboard connoisseurs. (It was mechanical, but to cut some costs they used the worst Cherry switches they could lay their hands on.)

Still, it could be praised as a proof of concept that such things were doable. I hear there's a kickstarter on a keyboard with Eink screens, which is reportedly not as hideous.

The Lebedev studio also produced an Optimus Mini Six macro pad which was more useful and lived a bit longer after the Maximus bit the dust.
