I just bought a few Samsung OEM Earbuds tuned by AKG. I wanted to stock up because I am not gonna switch for a long while yet, if I ever do.

They are flat out amazing! Beware of knockoffs, rejects and counterfeits however. I blew about $50, until I found a seller with the real deal, new old stock.

5 pair cost me about $25 each all in, including tossing the garbage ones. These things were $100 originally. I scored and am super happy about it.

I have tried a few bluetooth sets. Some are pretty good. If I had to, I could use them, but would be missing my wired ones constantly.

The issues for me and wireless ones are:

-Losing one.

-Then losing the same one again! That would anger me considerably. A family member did it. I fear doing it myself.

-Mic quality might be good, but I have tested the audio others get, and it is kind of lousy, like 5Khz or maybe 8Khz. AM quality. This is all software related, so air understand.

Sometimes it is better. Depends on... and frankly I did not bother past that because my wired ones are always awesome, and remain that way even when in a car window down. Others can hardly tell.

I get compliments on my call audio quality all the time on the wired pair, and they work great on my laptop and phone. Ok, moving on...

-Another charge to manage. Some people have a phone, watch, laptop and or tablet, earbuds... I got fat batteries for my phone and laptop. Can sometimes go a couple days. Can always go a whole, long day on the go. I hate charging management.

-Audio quality incoming to my ears ranges from good to crap. Nothing has been exemplary like the Samsung earbuds are. Seriously, they are great. They are better than my ears. Perfect.

-Pairing. Mostly works. May require voodoo when it does not work. To be fair, most worked great on my Samsung Note phone. I expected worse. Win 10 laptop seems a bit worse.

Audio just is not great. Hard shell design on many models do not acoustically couple to my ears well. Many I have tried do not have the tuning to get rid of resonances, response peaks and the like.

-Requires dongle / Adapter to work with all my gear. This is yet another thing to carry around, and need.

-Cost. (Though frankly, I will pay for good stuff.)

Pros:

-No wires! I really like that, and it is compelling. I totally get why people want it.

-Ambient sounds get through. I generally use one ear on my earbuds for that use case, but using two with how the ambient sounds can work is nice.

Summary:

We are closer! But, when one uses the crap out of earbuds professionally as well as personally, there is no contest. Wired sets, good ones to be clear, just work and they rule!

More people can make good use out of wireless ones than ever before, and that is good.

But, the people who count on performance, need it bulletproof and high quality at all times will struggle.
> In my opinion, locality of power and decision making is important.

If you believe in locality of power, why stop at the town level? The property owner is the most hyperlocal possible unit, so they should have the right to build whatever they want on the land they own. They are local to their own property, their busybody neighbors are not.
as you mention China - the property prices are declining there 3rd year in a row. in lower tier cities more than in Tier A, but also there they decline or stopped climbing.

we will have to wait and see how the common prosperity laws that Xi proposed will further change the life of people - and if they actually work, we must start thinking why WE were not able to do that in the first place with our democratic system that is supposed to represent the people.

Yes they absolutely did intentionally lie.

EDIT: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/washington-po...

In July 2019, a federal judge in Kentucky dismissed the Sandmanns’ suit against The Post, ruling that all of the challenged statements were either opinion, not defamatory or not about Sandmann specifically. But in October, the judge, William O. Bertelsman, reinstated part of the lawsuit, based on a motion to reconsider an amended complaint filed by Sandmann’s lawyers, allowing the case to proceed on three statements in Post articles stating that Sandmann had “blocked” Phillips and “would not allow him to retreat.”

I.e., bald faced lies.
The thing that occurs to me is that insurance cards are usually verified with the insurance company immediately after being presented, so there is little incentive to try to fake an insurance card.

But drivers licenses are frequently verified offline by someone standing at a door, and all they get is a couple seconds glance at it to see if they think it’s authentic. And there are many things that are gated by age, and presenting your drivers license is the common way to prove your age. They’re also used to prove your identity.

So, drivers licenses need a much higher standard of robust offline verification, if they’re going to be digitized. That requires a lot more work, and the most critical parts of that work can only be done by the state that issues the drivers license.

For Apple. The critical thing is that they are going to be the ones who get blamed if this thing goes sideways (like they’re already being blamed now), so they need to make sure that the states are really doing their due diligence to a high standard. The contract is the main thing that what will help enforce that.

Everybody needs to have the ideal physique to introduce themselves as the most grounded in their companion bunch in the current time. Overabundance weight, then again, is brought about by a helpless way of life and terrible dietary patterns. Corpulence is something that nobody needs since it can prompt different medical conditions and an absence of fearlessness.

I have never heard of Facebook described as anything like "engineer retirement home". Google, yes, but not FB. When I was there, poor work life balance was everywhere - from individual contributors to managers, from engineers to product managers to all other cross-functional partners, from juniors to senior staff levels.
The Foreward and intro make me think this is a promotoonal tool for consulting services or something... sure enough, they sell "Dramatica software".

The Jurassic Park improvements (p.268) seems contrived.

I like the idea of a theory of narrative (like the Hero's Journey, Save the Cat), so I've kept on reading, to see if it really does have merit or not. It's just a lot of stuff, new names for old concepts, so far...
If you happen across an old DVR that burns to DVD the process is much simpler, plus you get a diversified backup that can be read by practically anything.

I was lucky enough to pick up a Sony RDR-HXD870 at a charity shop. It has a firewire input on the front and a one touch system to transfer the tapes to DVD. No muss, no fuss, all the tapes I had of the kids transferred to a NAS by ripping the DVDs afterwards.

Thanks. The review is confused about a number of issues, e.g.:

> Gödel proved that if a statement in first-order logic is well formed (that is to say, it follows the syntactic rules for the formal language correctly), then there is a formal proof of it.

That refers to Gödel's completeness theorem, which actually says something quite different (that a sentence is provable iff it is true in every models of the axioms). The way it is written, even if limited only to true sentences, it contradicts the incompleteness theorem that Gödel proved a few years later.

So I don't think the review reflects a really informed reading of the book. That's another Gödel biography by Rebecca Goldstein, which apparently does a good job describing Gödel's life and personality, but is full of terrible mathematical errors in the part that tries to describe Gödel's work. I haven't read that one but might someday, if the opportunity comes up. Gödel besides being a great mathematician unfortunately also suffered from serious mental illness, but I don't think we gain anything from sensationalism about that aspect of his history. I'd rather read a biography that gets the math right first.
I kinda doubt it will go that quickly. See how many problems Boeing had with their lithium batteries in the 787. And those were just auxiliary power. This will take a hundred times that many batteries with the scale bringing many engineering challenges. And then the totally different engines.. I think it'll take a long time to have a battery powered airliner built, in mass production and as reliable and safe as current airliners. There's a lot of stuff to be built from scratch without half a century of trial and error to learn from.

I think biofuels might be a better option for aviation until the tech has time to catch up.
A house isn’t an investment, it’s a depreciating asset just like a car. Land is the investment. You can witness this phenomenon every day just by driving around residential neighbourhoods: people tearing down newly purchased houses and building new ones on the lot. What did they spend all that money on if they were planning to tear the house down from the outset? It wasn’t the building, that’s for sure.
Several of these are TUI rather than CLI.
Maps and docs as well. While Facebook is the king of time wasting apps, Google is the king of useful apps. They might abuse their role a bit, but at least the products are things that helps people.

> I'm hesitant to work in a place where I can get thrown under the bus for being a man

I'm genuinely confused here. Is this comment a thinly veiled political axe to grind? A misconception about how real life works day-to-day at these companies? What exactly does "thrown under the bus for being a man" mean? How would that work and what kind of conversation do you imagine happening?

FYI: You can get thrown under the bus because your manager doesn't like the way your face looks. You can get thrown under the bus by jealous coworkers, or just someone looking to deflect blame. You can get thrown under the bus for anything if you coworkers are sociopaths, jerks, or just don't like you. Don't work for teams or organizations like that. If you accidentally find yourself there: move somewhere else.
You are not missing much, it's a systemic issue of zero public transportation, constantly growing demand, broken housing market, zoning, and decades of scalability problems.
We don’t need to steal land. All it would take is legalizing enough construction.
It's useful still! If you have an application that talks to another application on the other side of the world, you get to control how fast it sends you stuff with your reading speed. If you stop reading from the socket, the sending application will stop sending before long. It seems like spooky action at a distance but it's just backpressure propagating through many layers.
Absolutely not, unless you are going very slow (like bicycle speed). The wind noise even with a good helmet is deafening and well above OSHA limits for workplaces. I would never ride without earplugs if my trip was over 10 minutes or above 35 mph. I did it a few times when I first started and I would get off the bike after 30-45 minutes and It felt like I had been to a rock concert. With earplugs I can go as long as my back allows and I'm not fatigued afterward.
VLC and other video players have options to tweak video/audio latency to get them to syncronize by delaying whatever's ahead by a fixed amount to more accurately match the other. There are even chrome extensions proporting to let you tweak such syncronization for youtube, although I haven't tested them. You don't need to find the exact audio offset either - just close enough that you can't tell anymore.

But this only helps with less interactive media. Adding even more latency to video games or MIDI keyboard synthesizers is counterproductive: sure, you could delay the rendering of a muzzle flash to match the playing of a gunshot, but that makes things feel even worse when you click! Maybe tolerable in a casual macro-focused RTS, but not so acceptable in a twitch shooter.
I've never given polarization any thought and never had any problems, so I don't buy this being an actually a problem in practice.

That's probably because a lot of equipment is double-insulated now so polarization doesn't matter, and manufacturers are better at getting the polarization right. It's usually when someone (incorrectly) replaces a cord themselves that you run into issues, which doesn't seem to happen much nowadays, the lamp with the bad cord goes in the trash. Though I've certainly run into home outlets that are wired backwards.

Probably the most likely place you'd run into problems with incorrect polarization is when changing a light bulb. If the polarization is wrong, the outer threaded part of the socket will be live, and you've got a good chance of contacting it while changing a light bulb. (which itself is becoming a rarely with long lasting LED bulbs, or LED lamps without changeable bulbs). Though this is probalby more the fault of the Edison lightbulb socket than of the polarized plug.
Maybe this could be the solution to stabilising plasma in fusion reactors
How did the Washington Post intentionally lie? They were certainly reckless and reported Phillips’s account without doing due diligence but that is a very different thing from the intentional dishonesty shown by Project Veritas.

Lying requires intent. And intent is very important.
This makes no sense given what it says in the article: that the problem more or less went away once black consumers started complaining and Kodak changed their film chemistry.

The 4004 is very interesting in just how mind-bogglingly odd it is. It's well worth reading the (very short) data sheet[1], or at least skim the available instructions.

I wrote a tiny 4004 program for one of the emulators out of curiosity, and it was a wild experience.

Many more recent bt headphones support multipoint, but I'm not sure any support more than two simultaneous connections. This meant I was back to disabling Bluetooth on my tablet when I wanted to use the Jabra 85hs to the TV.

And I was naive enough to think that the sound from the two connections would be mixed, so you could, for example listen to music on my phone while hearing audible notifications from the computer (without the music dropping out).

As with anything BT, it's a mixed bag. That said, after resisting it for a long time, those Jabras were one of the best things I ever bought.

Houses do not go up in value. It is the land. Land should go up in value if the city or town develops. Housing prices can still remain stable if you are allowed to break it down and built something denser. Tokyo is an example where housing prices are far more stable compared to the west despite being the most populous metropolis on earth.
AirPods do have a feature where this is supposed to work automatically, without having to pair multiple devices, for all devices on the same iCloud account. It’s nice. I haven’t tried other brand headphones that can pair to multiple devices, so I can’t compare.
I added an edit. Footage was immediately available showing he was being accosted and advanced upon by the other people, and the idea that they had blocked and trapped the demonstrators was a complete fabrication.
That’s just it - I don’t think it usually means that. However I do think that’s what urbanist activists usually claim it means, because spreading such a claim is a way to demonize others who legitimately value different things from them. For me, neighborhood character means lots of single-family housing, buildings of a few stories at most along arterial roads, ample sunlight at street level, great driving infrastructure (limited traffic and easy parking), lots of greenery, low to no crowding at amenities like parks, knowing my neighbors, and other such factors. These things made my town a great place to live, and subsequently newcomers who wanted the same thing came, until there were too many desiring the same thing. Then they complained about the increasing costs from that demand, and now they demand that the entire city change its character to accommodate them - therefore destroying what incumbents slowly built up and also that which attracted these newer residents in the first place.

I am happy for all of us to have the same thing. But that means distributing the economy among many towns, rather than forcefully turning every thriving town into New York City. That requires time and effort. People cannot expect to get the same thing instantly at whatever cost they can bear. To me, that still feels like entitlement.
But things do have an average rate. And in my experience, this is very practical information. Almost daily I plug mean rates into Little's law and get useful numbers out. (Yes, I do verify my predictions.)
Other commenters are speaking to the ability to have them auto-configure to specific layouts, which is indeed useful for some people. I also find they provide easier window management/navigation on laptops. Rather than using gestures, task view, or alt-tabbing to find your window, you typically have specific groups of windows on specific virtual desktops which are bound to predictable hotkeys. So you might have something going on like:

Desktop 1 = WinKey + 1 = Browser

Desktop 2 = WinKey + 2 = Email application + WIP Reply

Desktop 3 = WinKey + 3 = Multiple Chat Apps

Desktop 4 = WinKey + 4 = IDE

Desktop 5 = WinKey + 5 = Debug Window + Documentation + Another Browser

I don't really have any hard and fast rules for what goes where, I just let things develop organically and don't restart my computer that often. For me, I find the ease/convenience of this makes working on a laptop 10x better. It sounds crazy but I almost prefer working on a laptop screen with a good Tiling WM to docking it with multiple screens.

On a larger/multiple screens, I find it's less necessarily to have the full features of a tiling WM. Something like FancyZones in PowerToys is good enough.
> Always have trouble with voice quality on calls too.

The Headset profile's audio codecs are hot garbage. Any time your device uses the microphone it switches to this and audio quality turns to mud.

Until they come up with a high definition profile for mic and audio, wired headsets will always have a place.

same thing in Germany; unis are flooded but nobody wants to do an apprenticeship anymore.

prices for even the smallest repairs in my flat that i rent have exploded and i have to wait for a long time until they even come.

migration doesn't solve this issue either. I'm volunteering at the local refugee center. while qualified "EU blue card" expats have an academic background and work in offices, the lower qualified migrants who came in 2015+ from Syria and Iraq are not interested in getting an apprenticeship in labor intensive jobs.

My brother, a carpenter, had left germany 5 years ago and migrated to Canada. Life is better there, he says.
I was going to come here to say this.

The only nit I have (and I think this is actually what you meant) is we must build more housing. I say this because often people think it's good to tear down an old house and build a new one. That isn't helping things (and I'd argue actively hurts things).

The lines about Harvard having "outreach" programs is entirely out of touch. The problem is money. It's always money. In the U.S. we simply don't care about education. It's expensive, time consuming, and heavily unoptimized. Only those with a support system (of money) can accomplish a degree at even the most affordable universities.

Scholarships do not exist in tech. The largest tech companies give out the fewest, and they are heavily competed for. Microsoft chooses 4 women a year. Less than 0.1% of students will ever receive any sizeable scholarship, and have to depend on private loans ontop of government student loans.

Scholarships are designed against low income students. They depend on good recommendations from teachers, long perfectly written essays, and all manner of ridiculous extra requirements. People in city schools of thousands of students rarely, if ever, can get a legitimate recommendation. Students can rarely even stay after school because their parents can't afford to pick them up later. Meaning they can't participate in after school extra curriculars.

I know of multiple women that are going to drop their freshmen degree in CS because of this. Cant afford it. No support network. Nobody cares. Kind of hard to focus on studies when you have to work to even exist at a university if your parents aren't paying for it.
