> Saying you sound angry isn't a personal attack, nor is it saying you are angry.

Saying I brought emotion to the argument is Tone Policing, which is a form of an ad hominem (personal attack), in that it implies that I shouldn't bring emotion to the discussion, or maybe should have used differently emotional wording "to better support my argument". Rather than arguing the content of my argument it argues the surface of my argument, if not also the substance of my character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_policing

"Sweeping under the rug" may have a negative connotation sometimes, but the bigger implication/connotation is one of "hidden information". Gas companies want consumers to think that gas gets to pumps like magic and have a lot of vested interests in people not generally questioning gas supply logistics. So they have a lot of ways to "hide" that "dirt" under the rug (of their economics model). As a consumer we have no idea how many gas shortages there are in a given period in any given region because gas companies aren't going to tell us and generally work very hard to make sure that we don't know. Sure from some consumer perspectives it is "less of an issue" because ignorance is bliss, but from the other perspective it is far "more of an issue" in that it is harder to prepare for it. Panics like this snowball precisely because people have no idea a shortage is happening until it feels "too late" and they feel as consumers they have lost control. Electricity outages while inconvenient rarely cause panic in and of themselves, and areas prone to more outages generally have more preparedness for them.

At the end of the day it is entirely apples and oranges to compare electricity outages and gas shortages, though. One is a simple, ubiquitous, extremely fungible utility with a wide variety of suppliers and used for a wide variety of applications/appliances/needs and the other an extremely complex, less fungible (a car that needs gas generally can't substitute for diesel and vice versa) supply chain with fewer overall suppliers and for the most part only a single (intended) use. Electricity is used immediately at the time of demand (so outages have a real time effect) and gas has a time shift of several weeks or more between purchase and usage (further blurring the time sensitivity to shortages and adding more reason how short term shortages can easily be hidden).
> said companies might not have even thought about trying to do something with those platforms because it was assumed impossible

We know now that Epic (obviously) wanted to open negotiaions with Nintendo on EGS deals, even if they haven't started yet and are considered a shot to the moon. I'd be surprised if other companies never put even a bit of thought into the alternate platforms. That is partially was why the court subpeona'd the entire industry for questions and arguments.

>With how much mobile OSs change I'm not sure it's relevant.

I say it's relevant because part of the marketing of app versions is how (relatively) easy it is to migrate, often including automated tools for the job. I highly dought Nintendo and Sony offer similar things (maybe Microsoft). As such they want to encourage that longevity as long as the dev in intersted in maintaining. So it again comes from "do they care"? Google and Apple do.

consoles make no such guarantee. Some years after the next gen becomes current gen, they will leave no option to submit previous generation titles. Both in a physical (stop accepting submissions) and marketing sense (less updates to older consoles, usually just security patches).

It should also be noted that consoles are 1-2 systems specs, and some games highly, highly optimize for that spec. So mimgration is naturally harder because consoles generally give devs almost a full memory block to work with, compared to, say, Window's non-guarantee of memory layout.

Computer gaming moves in console generations.

The PS5/new XBox are targeting a ~5 year generation. This means that games will be mostly playable as long as you get a top of the line 14nm GPU for 5 more years.

Remember that graphics have stopped being a bottle neck for games for a few years now. The top played games: Fortnite, Apex, LoL, Dota, Fifa and the like are perfectly playable on mediocre graphics.
Ok, I am going to be brutally honest here. Some may not like it.

Micromanaging is complicated. When I was in a leadership position I was the happiest boss when I could let people just do their thing and come back with great results and we'd be all happy. And that's how I loved working with my bosses before as well.

But then again, I had some employees I had to micromanage. I really, really abhorred it. But there was just no other way to achieve results. The truth is probably that I should have gotten into more serious talks with those employees instead. But before you fire people, you have to invest to be absolutely sure you're doing the right thing.

What I am trying to say is: As an employee, try to be as a reflective person as you ask your boss to be one. Maybe your work is the reason for him/her to be micromanaging you.

eMSF says "what I can't really understand is how supposedly smart people turn off their inner logic when it comes to such a simple concept."

Musimathics Volumes 1 and 2
>There's still no way to replicate the sound quality of being close to an orchestra.

That's why I always tend to bail out of audiophile discussion but I'll bite: why?

What's so special about the soundwaves going into your ears when you sit close to an orchestra that couldn't be reproduced with good audio equipment?

If you're talking about the experience itself of siting next to performers then I wholeheartedly agree, but that's the problem, it's no longer something that can be measured and objectivized.

And that's entirely fine, but I think there's a trend among some people (and especially the type of people who frequent this forum) that deem that if a feeling or emotion can't be objectivized then it's effectively worthless or irrational or something like that, so you see people grasping at straws to justify their emotions with a pseudo-scientific explanation. I find that frankly sad and quite toxic in a way.

Music is art, the enjoyment we derive from it can't be measured in kilobits per second. That doesn't mean that we need to make up pseudo-facts about acoustics to justify our preferences.
coinbase ads have been getting more and more annoying.

It used to be just that melody, set to some screen animations. Then they've added sound effects - button pushes, machinery sounds, to the same ad, I assume in attempt to get my attention.

That sounds like a good bargain. The downside is that the MTA would no longer have as good of a reason to incentivize ridership. I feel like there'd be a lot of negative side effects to a change like that.

You could the logic of broken precedent of assumed safety to people shopping in a grocery store and contracting Covid. What's safer than buying groceries or hanging out at a friend's BBQ? No one was doing anything ostensibly dangerous or out of the ordinary.

The only thing that makes sense is if we admit that there is a deliberate attempt to deprogram the masses and politicize science. People are indifferent because they're instructed to be on a daily basis by the talking heads.
> The truth is probably that I should have gotten into more serious talks with those employees instead.

Did you take the micromanaging approach because you didn't open a channel for feedback between you and the team?

Micromanagement is one thing: a lack of trust. You micromanage because you don't trust, or maybe they don't trust either. So, what do you do to build up trust? You talk.

Note that this is different to accountability. You can hold people to account without micromanaging them.
S. China's Guangdong province bans the collection of biometric data from June 1
I had never heard of Yellow Rain before. That's very interesting.
I think micromanagement can be a manifestation of the pressure a person is under. It can come from outside or inside, but whenever you feel that too much is at stake you might start micromanaging.
The base protocol uses 32 ETH for technical reasons but yes, as you said, pools like RocketPool, Lido, etc along with exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, and even everyday banks also allow staking any amount of ETH by anyone to take advantage of the stable staking returns. In a practical sense there's no barrier to staking ETH and it'll likely be the default way to hold ETH long term as a low risk savings vehicle.
Why did you have to micromanage those employees?
This is one of the worst tools I've ever used and we tried hard for a year. Besides the interface being clunky and slow it lets you delete important things on accident with multiple people in our group having fallen victim to it's non intuitive UI. I've never wanted a company or people to fail but the amount of misery this product has brought coworkers and myself, I'm shocked it's in a position to file for IPO.
This sounds like a very interesting project, especially if it could be done just by taking pictures of both your ears (I'm not sure if that's sufficient to capture all of the topology.) Generating a sufficiently large dataset to learn how that topology relates to sound perception sounds incredibly expensive though.
I only suggested you take five minutes a day over the course of a week to try it to give you something real and objective to consider for less effort than you've already put into this thread. The breathing technique is all over the web and YouTube for free.

Also, this way of breathing isn't something you do continuously. It's just an exercise you do when you want to realize the benefits. Maybe a couple times a day if you are keen.

The guy climbs mountains in just his underwear and shorts, can ward off a cold using his mind and this way of breathing, held the world records for distance under ice and sitting submerged in a tub of ice water. He teaches others to do these things very quickly. Women want him and men want to be him. I'm still not being fanatical ok? This guy is the real deal.

I am almost 40 and can easily hear pure ones over 17khz but can't differentiate pure noise with or without anything above 13khz.

Right around 18.5khz there's a sharp falloff on pure tones no matter how much I pump the volume. I use a loudness meter that shows me the freq spectrum to confirm that my speakers and headphones are producing a pure constant tone.

On the tests at: "https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_frequency.php?frq=14" I can get 10/10 on the 10khz and 11khz test, 9/10 on the 12khz test and then it's just guessing at 13khz and higher.

High hats tend to fall around 16khz and I have been able to differentiate on audio tests just by listening to high hats but that has more to do with how aggressive the codec is and not necessarily my hearing capability. I enjoy piano music and using the Apple afconvert tool I've been able to get piano tracks down to under 100kbps and they sound fine to me which is pretty amazing.

I cannot use some of the more popular Berydynamic headphones because they sound too trebly and some pop songs are physically painful for me to listen to (eg the marimbas at the start of Ed Sheeran's Shape of You are like ear daggers on the 880 headphone and unlistenable on the 990's). I wonder if some of that brand's popularity comes from older ladies/gentlement being able to hear treble in the music that they otherwise wouldn't hear at all.
Do other message protocols / apps solve this meta-data problem as well?

As I understand it a mobile to mobile protocol will need to send a message between app on phone on cell tower, through ISP, all of which presumably are open to similar government persuasion.

I know its not as egregious as email headers, and email is distributed but the basics seem similar.

The heat and noise was what led me to sell my 16" MBP in favour of a 13" Air. I was working from home the whole time I owned it and my partner could often hear it from a different room.

No idea how anyone works in an office with one of those things without irritating the hell out of their coworkers.

That may be the current goal. If I'm going to get into organized crime, I'm not going to start by walking into the local FBI building and try and buy off everyone.

You start small, learn, grow, expand, and after you've gained sufficient resources and the power that comes with that, then you get to do more.

The way I deal with it is by leaving the team immediately. My life is too short to put up with being treated like a slave. I am too good at programming.
I dewelop machine learning data pipelines. My dev environment of choice is a Macbook running JetBrains suite, Alfred, BetterTouchTool, and an iTerm pane or 3 with Mosh and Tmux running on an Ubuntu Server. HID is a tricked out Ergodox EZ, right hand mouse, left hand Magic Trackpad. Prior to that I developed directly on Ubuntu 18/20, and windows well before that. The experience unparalleled. The OS/windowed desktop is smoother and less buggy than Gnome 3, more responsive than Win 7 or 10.

I'm talking a 16GB Intel i7 8-thread Macbook vs a 32 thread twin-socket 72GB RTX2080 beast running Ubuntu 20. The Mac crushes it in terms of feel, fit and finish. I haven't tried M1 yet but I bet it'll one-up my current Intel macbook. I'm quite eager to get one.

> Besides that, the M1 doesn't support most of the software that most engineers are using...

??? Other than CUDA, the macbook meets my needs 95% of the time. I'm mostly want for a native Docker networking experience a small minority of the time. I need a responsive GUI head to act as my development environment. All the heavy lift compute is done on servers/on-prem/in-cloud.

> - BSD-styled memory management causes frequent page faults and thrashes memory/swap

Only under super heavy memory demand. I close some browser tabs or IDE panes (I normally have dozens of both).

> - Abstracting execution makes it harder to package software, harder to run it, and harder to debug it when something goes wrong

Almost everything I do is containerized anyways, so this is moot.

I was squarely one of those "why would anyone use mac? It's overpriced, lock in, $typical_nerd_complaints_about_mac" until COVID happened and it became my daily driver. Now I can't go back.

> - MacPorts and Brew are both pretty miserable package managers compared to the industry standard options.

No snark intended - Like what? I'm not exactly blown away by Brew, but it's been generally on par with Apt(get). Aptitude is marginally better. There's not a single package manager that doesn't aggravate me in some way.
It returned to 24h service at 2am, and was out of service at 2am. Occam's razor: switch back to "open for business 24/7" didn't happen as planned.

Dolby Atmos allows you to specify multiple channels together with spatial metadata. The Ambisonics support for opus is quite similar. The spec allows the encoder to specify an arbitrary matrix used for mixing of the audio. If you read Apple's blog post, it seems they use the Dolby Atmos format instead of their own homegrown solution.
I think "Trust" is the primary reason for Micromanaging. If a person doesn't trust their subordinates they try to micromanage. This just doesn't happen at work, at home as well (eg. between parents & kids).

Already done. Kitty and other modern terminals have an extended keyboard interface which allows to detect keypress, keyrelase and arbitrary key combinations (unlike legacy vt100-style terminal emulators, where e.g. Tab and Ctrl-I are indistinguishable). For backwards compatibility you need to switch to this mode by sending an escape sequence.

Something I've been wondering about - are your goggles stereoscopic, and does the drone have two cameras? I've (very, very briefly) looked in to FPV stuff but quickly get lost in marketing stuff that doesn't seem to clearly indicate if stereoscopic equipment is available.
That would make no sense at all. I think the comparison to getch() is the natural one here.
It's a good point about optimization of certain things in general. Like, yeah, someone might post a study that in an anechoic chamber you can tell the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio, but how much of a difference is that making for people in the real world? Often when I listen to music, I'm at the gym, or the office, surrounded by all sorts of background noise that is going to impact my experience way more than compression.
> I am wondering if there is a market for an even cheaper Music Streaming Services that target lower quality, 128Kbps music.

If you control the client and are able to update it, I think you're better off switching to opus or similar.

96kbps opus is actually quite good for music already: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Opus#Music_encod...

I guess the question then is whether there's a market for 48kbps opus music. But that'd be assuming that a big part of the costs are bandwidth. I'd bet that's not the case.

Also imagine how little traction you'd get once people associate your brand with poor music quality. I don't think you can compete by being 2€/month cheaper.
> Seems to me it would be rather easy to detect a system with 1 Russian keyboard vs a system with a default English keyboard and and secondary Russian keyboard. It will probably take about 10 minutes to adapt to this defense.

Modern computing environment is pretty much unusable with just Russian keyboard. You need some way to enter URLs, email addresses, shell commands, etc. Russian keyboard is an addition to English, not a replacement.
This is one of those tricks you don't want to publicize if your goal is to increase your own security. Linux being less of an attack vector than Windows has little to do with its inherent security (I wouldn't be surprised if Windows has Linux solidly beat in this department nowadays) than it does with how many and what kinds of computers run Linux.

If a company's Linux boxes mostly run production servers that are generally stateless and/or covered by a comprehensive disaster recovery policy, then there's a good chance that their response to your ransomware attack will be to laugh in your face and push the "recover" button.

On the other hand, there's a decent chance that at least some of the company's Windows computers contain some critical spreadsheet that holds together some essential business process and isn't being regularly backed up.

The thing is, that balance only works as long as there aren't a whole lot of organizations running all Linux. Because, if there were, then you'd start to see more of those critical irreplaceable files living on people's Linux desktops.
It's hard to take this seriously when the author tries to make big points about geopolitics and then claims that Georgia or Ukraine have "favorable relations" with the Kremlin (those countries are literally at war with Russia). Not to mention them not knowing basic facts like Moldova and Romania being in fact 2 separate independent countries.
