>But what would you expect support to do?

Here's a response I expect. Take this as a model customer service response if you are in the business of selling (potentially) self-exploding devices:

-------

Dear <Customer Name>. Thank you for reporting the incident to us. I have escalated your report to the engineering team.

A representative of our company will be reaching out to you to inquire for further details to find out the exact cause of the malfunction to prevent it from happening in the future.

As our product have caused you harm, I may not assist you further, as all I can do is offer a replacement product. I have therefore forwarded your request to our Consumer Relations team senior specialist <Firstname Lastname> who will reach out to you by <timeframe> with regards to settling this in a manner satisfactory to you. They can be reached directly by <phone x extension> or by email at <email address>.

We take safety seriously, and we are immediately reporting this incident to CPSC, as we are obligated by law. You can do your part at the following web address: https://www.saferproducts.gov/IncidentReporting

Thank you so much for reporting this incident in detail, and helping us make our products safer for everyone!
Oh please, it’s a headline. The pedantically correct phrasing is right below in the second heading, not buried in a footnote.

Have you even glanced at the article?
Some random thoughts:

1.

These are fair criticisms. These kinds of problems can also be difficult to demonstrate to others who may help.

For example "some function `f(x)` gives 5 when it should give 7" will get an answer in 5 minutes on stack overflow, whereas "my thing's not working and I don't know why" will receive 4 downvotes and no answer in the same time.

2.

I tend to be the kind of learner who doesn't sit down for 30 days and read the docs cover to cover, but rather I start using the new tool on day 1 and figure out what I need to know as a I go. But rails rewards the former approach (i.e. reading through the rails guides - or even just skimming them). This may take a few weeks, but it gives the ability to at least know where to start to look if something has gone wrong.

3.

> And it provides virtually no hints to jog your memory.

I kinda agree. I feel like this should be easily addressed (although I'm not totally sure how).
Not answering your questions but I am so glad this "controversy" exists. I've learned so much more about this topic from all these response videos than I could have if there was no controversy.
I am a Democrat btw. I just don't want to see my party shooting their own foot but adopting terrible policies that don't improve people's life.

I’ve never heard this before. Why is it a nightmare? Isn’t it just a Node app?
I think their point was that you were pretty sloppy with your facts.

I jealously preserve my time and habit of reading lots of books because it's a main contrast to digital life. A welcome pause from the distractions of nonlinearity in online media and electronic devices (such as e reading devices). It's relaxing. Physical books are still a favorite pastime.

Sure but do you see any signs of recklessness in this case? Your comment kind of assumes that (or worse), whereas it's far from obvious to me.
It was more like a $20 discount. It took a bit of prodding for them realize this was a safety issue and get connected to the right team, but I had no complaints on that. No comment regarding the rest of the process, it's still too early. The intent of the article was to highlight a potential issue with a pretty common pair of headphones that's used in the tech world, and one that I used to personally recommend to people.
It is hard to say how remote work impacts this.

Most companies are still requiring onsite. Even apple (one of the most innovative companies) still wants employees onsite.
Noise cancellation really is one of the most hit-and-miss technologies in my experience.

I've got a sony wh-1000xm2, some inear Jabra and the Bose 700, which came with my Pixel 6 purchase the other day.

It really is something the potential buyer should check out themselves in a store before buying, because they're really variable in quality.

According to mkbhd the Sony one's are the best at it, but they have very strong white noise background at least with my older model.

I actually had the same issue with that pressure on my ears, though it slowly went away and haven't noticed any displeasure in a long time now.
First what are we making equal? I don't think equal opportunity is a real thing, life is all about very precise starting conditions, some of which will have extraordinary outcomes, others which will fail precipitously, I digress. With Americans, probably material wealth, right? But that's an artifact of conditioning, isn't it? Like that drive to acquisitive behavior is a conditioned thing I reckon.

But if we aren't talking material wealth, y'know, how about equal freedom? Equal leisure time? Equal representation? Autonomy? Respect? Everybody seems to be fixated on material wealth - which I'd infer is the whole basis for equal opportunity, and I don't think that's the question to ask. If you treat janitors with the same deference as you do a CEO, their life would be less shitty, it might even be pretty good; you're minimizing their work and treating them like a human being. Maybe this is a thing and you can get some real Princess and the Pauper (or vice versa) shit going on. And, at that point with their work minimized, maybe they could get some more paid vacation without some eminent disaster looming. And, since people are pretty self-organizing when they're not treated like shit, and they're not high-strung and burning out, they can... Maybe... do without a manager breathing down their neck? And now they don't have to run up a chain of command to fill up their squirt bottle or talk to the person that actually calls the shots, and negotiate with the client directly. Wow.

Like hypothetically, right? Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but having been on the ground for years in various industries I don't think I am.

I don't think the material shit is what everybody is all about, I think people are fronting with their consumer goods to be able to function in the social hierarchy. I mean, there's a whole class of people who enter into debt obligations just to front like they've got money which is "directly proportional to status and success". If you remove that bar, if you equalize social standing to a singular nominal human value, I don't think most people care to entertain the ratrace. But that's a culture thing, that's an economy thing, that's an identity thing - ethereal and malleable. I think people are lead to believe that they have to run in the ratrace, and buy all the shit, and front like they're a big shot just to get to the home stretch of the human shit, live, love, laugh, family and friends. 'Cause at the end of the day, you can have all the shit, but if you don't have anybody to share it with you just look like a dildo wearing designer bedazzled pants.

> Right now I cant even get a 2x 2.5" 2TB HDD and a NAS enclosure for under $200 RSP

You can get comparatively much more for much less if you look carefully at the used market and spend some time building it for yourself. My 5 bays home NAS cost me just a bit over €130, excluding disks of course: €46 for a SUPERMICRO X7SPA-L mainboard and €88 for a Ultron RPS19-G3380 case, power supply included. All purchased from ebay sellers. I already had the memory modules plus an additional slow SATA controller I use for a non RAID disk, so had to buy only the disks locally. It runs XigmaNAS and has been rock solid with multiple 1 year+ uptimes interrupted only for maintenance or disk upgrades.
Synology isn’t the cheapest, but they’ve made it “just work”. Every few years - both for home, and for work, I consider getting a “more serious” storage system or building one; and every time I do a serious comparison and end up choosing Synology over building my own FreeNAS/TrueNAS/etc for home, and preferring Synology over NetApp for work.

I do have a couple of NetApps for mission critical stuff; and one of my customers runs an Isilon which I have to support; for almost every workload that can tolerate a few minutes of planned downtime per month, the Synology wins bigly as long as you have knowledgeable IT staff.

And no, you don’t want an Isilon or a NetApp if you don’t have knowledgeable IT staff around - you want a synology (or to get better IT)

How many times are you going to say "exploding" to describe something that didn't explode? You're clearly cognizant of the fact you are lying, so why keep doing it? Why not just describe what happened accurately? Is it a concern that you can't make your point if you relate to the facts in a more accurate fashion, without the repeated hyperbole?
I read less books than when I was school age. I have a couple that are sitting in Books app that I read a few pages at a time.

I think the “problem” is twofold:
1) phones are too much
2) too many books

1: using a book used to be easier than computer. You had to turn it on, wait, sit in a chair. With book it’s just grab and start reading in any position. People were/are reading standing up in Moscow metro. Computer was also limited in what you can do with it: I had a few games, a few programms and if I wanted more, it’s either going to a store for CD or using a slow Dial-up (check if no one is talking on the phone or expecting a call). With smartphone now there is Youtube, games and a ton of text that talks back to you (like HN or Twitter).

2: I find that many books and movies just say too much. I went out of the movie theater from Hellboy reboot when they started explaining the lore right away. I don’t mind a bit of exposition, but a film is not the right medium imo. Similarly with books: I feel like at least some of them could be a series of Substack posts if not Twitter threads.

So I agree that books are dying out a bit, but I’m optimistic that they are being replaced with mediums more suitable for the message. Also I hope there will be more specialized gadgets like ReMarkable tabled that you can’t do everything with.
So our gravitation models weren’t working very well, so we thought maybe dark matter. Then that wasn’t working very well either, so we thought maybe dark energy? And now this is showing a lot of shortcomings too? I know nothing of astro physics, but I find it odd that a majority of astro physicians think of dark energy as a near certainty when all mainstream articles are about contradicting its implications.
>Yet none are spontaneously exploding.

Well, at lease EVs are spontaneously catching fire.
> but due to various factors such as delay, the cancellation is not perfect and what I am actually getting into the ear is the residual high frequency noise

If you model the noise canceling as a superposition of the input signal with the generated signal, where the generated signal is specifically designed to account for the processing delay and hence only targets lower-frequency noise, then wouldn't 2 things be true:

1) Any residual from imperfect cancellation would only be at the lower frequencies (because the generated signal itself contains no high frequencies, and we a linear superposition). Of course, the original high frequency content from the input that was never cancelled will still be present but this isn't any worse.

2) Even in the worst case that we completely mispredict, we will only double the sound intensity which is a 3db increase. This seems relatively safe?

That said, while it seems physically safe it's possible that ANC still wreaks havoc with the brain's audio processing. Maybe the brain relies on the existence of the low frequency content as a sort of gain control mechanism or something (there are anecdotal reports by some users of increased tinnitus with long-term ANC use, but it's also possible that it only increased their awareness of it). I've also read that some people are sensitive to this lack of low-frequency noise since the brain interprets it as a pressure differential.
This has been a concern of mine since fact checking became the tool of political ideologues.

Many of my professional friends have either left mainstream social media or have become much less active.

Not only has this destroyed the credibility of science but has created vicious polarisation of people and destroyed friendships and family relationships.

Some of us have no desire to learn Rust… well I did, but found the syntax to be awful. If you already know C, C++ or something else, you really need a good reason to learn a new language, especially one with a syntax as messy as the of Rust.

That being said, you do have a valid point that file format parsing really could benefit from a language with the safety features of Rust.
I read it.

I admitted it was possibly pedantic, and then I got "smug nitpicking". And this happens all the time, so there's some pre-existing bias on my part in terms of being bothered by these communication mishaps. I struggle to watch many science documentaries these days due to communication issues such as these.
And what does this have to do with long reads? (IMHO: Comment spam)

"Furthermore, much of what we consider intelligence is inherently dialogic, hence social; it requires a theory of mind."

That's an assumption. The contrary view is that language is just part of the I/O system, not where the hard work gets done.

Animals with very limited language capabilities have the ability to run their own lives, and to some extent manipulate their environment. Systems built from large language databases don't have that.

After 50 years, robotic manipulation in unstructured situations is still terrible. Rod Brooks tried to crack that and his startup, Rethink Robotics, failed. DARPA has had decades of manipulation projects. Fifty years ago, they could put a bolt in a hole. Five years ago, they got a robot hand to put a key in a lock. Amazon is still trying to get robots to pick things from bins fast and reliably.

We lack some fundamental understanding about how to interact with the real world. The problem is not on the language side.
> Whereas trying to deploy Next.js anywhere other than Vercel is a nightmare.

If it ever was, this certainly isn't true right now.

I have very recently built a small, perfectly capable website with a colorful mix of Next.js functionality and deployed it on my own server.

Happy to report that it really is as simple as the docs make it seem: https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment#nodejs-server
One of the first tests for infringement is "substantial similarity"(see [1] for example). If you claim copyright infringement on the basis of any small number of characters your case will be tossed by the judge. There isn't a specific number of characters that need to be copied before it becomes "substantial" because the court gets to rule on that based on the context etc.

> By an ostensibly "luxury" brand, no less.

Bose aren't luxury: they're premium mediocre. They're expensive - overpriced in fact - but have a supremely competent marketing team who are probably responsible for mopping up a good portion of that premium.

That doesn't make this incident any better or more excusable but it does go some way to explaining why it happened: the product is poor quality and cheaply engineered.

You get what you pay for, and with Bose you are paying to be hoodwinked by flashy marketing and "brand equity".
Does postgres scale that well? I would be interested in case studies as I've not seen much achieving beyond 10k records per second.
I'm not fond of religion, wasn't raised in it but you know religion wars, scandals, etc. But one day I realized that a lot of 'modern life' was being laid on a couch alone watching low level distraction and ads. Suddenly, the idea of sitting with you neighbors listening to latin spells from a wiser (allegedly) person felt like quality time.
Yeah, Facebook = assholes. A filmmaker friend of mine had a properly categorized page for a film he was making, and when he reached 10,000 followers... Facebook deleted it with no excuse. On the day his brother was killed in a construction accident, coincidentally.

I just happened to know that an ex-coworker now worked at Facebook. I explained the situation and didn't refrain from insinuating that this wasn't going to be good PR if the page wasn't restored. It was. But no way would it have been otherwise.

Companies that hide from their customers should be mercilessly scorned and shunned. But people just take being treated like shit, so we all get treated like shit.
Exactly my thought...I wonder how the Box library differs.
Of course it's no biggie for you to see someone other get unfair treatment. Just a statistics... Joseph Stalin vibes.

Why do you think that someone needs to lose so that other would benefit, when it comes to the best education? Instead of aiming for equality and quality, you propose what? New version on discrimination?
Sure, but I thought that the reference was that of a non-destructive test, otherwise the Police advice becomes "obvious".

I read it as:

"do not leave laptops in cars, because those cars, thanks to the advanced technology some thieves possess, are more likely to have their windows broken (and the laptop stolen)"

maybe it was to be read as:

"do not leave laptops in cars, because ALL cars will have their windows broken, but if there is no laptop inside, it won't be stolen"
Way to write off OP's experience with an insult.

"dismiss all fact checking as political, biases, or agenda-driven."

Come on, man. Your opinions about the SAT are based on a single infamous SAT question (of unknown provenance) from many decades ago?

There are no questions like that any more. You really think the people designing the highest-profile standardized test in the country are oblivious to this kind of problem these days? There's a ton of cultural and racial bias screening and filtering that goes into producing these questions now, both manual and statistical. You can look at some sample questions yourself.
From some experience this seems to not always consistently work. If people don't explicitly whitelist me I'll often start showing up as spam years later.
I have been burned couple of times by them. I thought it's a genuine and useful feature.

First, they offered a poor conversion rate.

Second, they said they will charge in INR and hence no further markup by banks which was an outright lie as they charged in INR from PayPal Singapore which applied foreign markup anyway by the bank. So I paid double markup.

It's basically a scam.
Ironically I've been using a lot of hashmaps in some code recently...and the rust implementation is pretty damn ergonomic.
