Chinese actions are just as official aren't they? And that's saying nothing of "unofficial" actions like the NSA, CIA etc take.

I don't think there is a meaningful difference between what China and the US do in terms of pursuing foreign policies via economics and "private" company actions...
It's worth noting that you're applying an overly simplistic model of what noise cancellation (at the Bose/Sony level) actually entails. There's a lot of signal processing involved and it's exceedingly unlikely that the headphones are significantly increasing the amount of high frequency noise reaching your ears. (Some noise cancelling headphones even have a microphone on the inside, to measure what your ears hear.)

There are lots of other sources of pain, fatigue and discomfort, though. Essentially, since the noise cancellation isn't perfect, you can hear some subset of the sound, varying across the frequency spectrum. This can cause a feeling of being underwater, of having blocked ears or simply of having to listen more closely, all of which might cause ongoing muscle tension of different muscles.

On the good news side, a lot of people who find discomfort with one brand of noise-cancelling can find other brands fine, so it might be worth trying some other brands. (For Bose, the main similar-quality competitor is Sony.)

Finally, in the simplistic model, there does not have to be a delay. Sound only travels at 340 metres per second, so for every 10mm distance between the microphone and the emitter, one can have around 34 microseconds of processing time.
They're macaques, so maybe they can handle small children. Not adults.

This makes a lot of sense. If you don't have this healthy emotional foundation, all other efforts towards more surface-level stuff are going to be compromised.

It seems very likely that a happier person is going to be more productive/effective in all aspects of life, including work!

I guess the key is probably a balance of working on both at once; your underlying emotional health and happiness, as well as learning some higher level tricks relating to time management, managing your workload etc.
Here are questions sent to individuals in the study: Would you process a CCPA data access request from me even though I am not a resident of California? Do you process CCPA data access requests via email, a website, or telephone? If via a website, what is the URL I should go to? What personal information do I have to submit for you to verify and process a CCPA data access request? What information do you provide in response to a CCPA data access request?

The word "you" appears in every question.

To quote my IRB training (citiprogram.org):

"Most research in the social and behavioral sciences involves gathering information about individuals. However, some research that involves interactions with people does not meet the regulatory definition of research with human subjects because the focus of the investigation is not the opinions, characteristics, or behavior of the individual. In other words, the information being elicited is not about the individual ("whom"), but rather is about "what." For example, if a researcher calls the director of a shelter for battered women and asks her for the average length of stay of the women who use the shelter, that inquiry would not meet the definition of research with human subjects because the information requested is not "about" the director. If the researcher interviewed the director about her training, experience, and how she defines the problem of battering, then the inquiry becomes about her - and therefore "about whom."

The current example is similar, in my opinion, to "how she defines the problem of battering" which the IRB training identifies as human subjects research. The people receiving the researchers' email in the current study are being ask to define the way they interpret and comply with a legal statute.

I can accept that some people don't see the information requested as being "about whom" and therefore is not human subjects research. But the fact that people who have received this email have panicked indicates that the recipients, at least, felt that the questions were more than merely recording impersonal data about their websites.
It's not really because ESPN "subsidizes" other channels. ESPN is expensive. It's because sports is the primary hook for a lot of people to continue getting broadcast/cable TV at all outside of on-demand subscriptions. It's not enough of a hook for me to pay but, if I were to do so, it would be the main reason.
Wow, these look great. Don't need to sign up, and they don't even use EME. Have they been around for awhile?
The log4j fiasco showed that just because you're memory safe doesn't mean you're out of the woods, security-wise. But... memory safety is still a necessary condition for a good security posture if you're building something that runs executable code. And while memory safety is theoretically possible in C, in practice it is an utterly intractable problem for human programmers to solve.

The abandonment of C as a viable language, and the replacement of C code, is a critical project for the software development community. It's not the only thing that needs to be done, but it's a great and necessary first step, just like abandoning internal combustion engines is for the climate, If you are writing new, production code in C, you are a fool. If you do not have a long-term plan in place to replace the C code you have that it isn't on some God-forsaken unreflashable ROM, you are irresponsible.
If the van has an Amazon logo (the article does not say, nor does the Bloomberg article it regurgitates), then it's fine to blame Amazon for how it is operated.
I resubscribed to YouTube TV a few months ago for two channels: CNBC and ESPN. The rest of my family doesn't watch anything on it which is why I had cancelled it a couple of years ago. CNBC isn't worth $50/month to me. I'll give them another week before changing anything as I imagine someone is going to bend with this being college bowl season.
200ns, not 200ms
Fully agreed. I work in such a job (laborer), and the only thing I can figure is that giving office workers extra time off has less of an impact, whereas giving laborers off would affect production/output/service/whatever. We can't have that now, can we? Those companies did not enact this policy without their bottom line as priority, as usual.

When talking about language (I see in the comments below), I think it is useful to differentiate between the potential capabilities of human languages (i.e., all baby humans seem to be able to learn to adult native level of proficiency any human language, regardless of were where their parents from) and the possible effect that using a particular language might have in the speaker or in the people receiving speech in that particular language, i.e., the expressive capabilities of that individual in that language or of the vocabulary of that language specifically (e.g., crafting a joke: how do you make an egg laugh? Tell him a yoke).

What I mean is that language ability of humans and language ability of animals are not comparable; they are so different that in fact, language ability (regardless of the externalization of that language, by speech, text, signs, touch), looks very much like intelligence (meaning the intrinsic ability for language production and not the specific proficiency at some sort of externalization).

If you happen to spend enough time around animals and child humans you will quickly see that after a couple of years, kids can understand and use recursive / referential structures in a way that pets cannot. Pets seem to understand individual words, tones, and maybe "not". Think of "bring the comfy ones that your grandparents bought you to keep your feet warm" - a sentence a 3 year old can perfectly understand. No matter how much you spend teaching/training a dog that has lived in the same environment since its birth, the dog will not react to it bringing you the yellow slippers (unless you specifically trained the dog to associate the word "comfy" or "feet" to some specific slippers). The current state of parametric language models resemble much more that of a very memorious dog than that of a human.
> how strong are these monkeys?

I believe the right question is, how intelligent and distempered are these monkeys?

Intelligence > brawn

Strength is mostly immaterial once I (as a hypothetical monkey) understand that I can use my agility to rip your eyeballs from their sockets, which then effectively removes your ability to pose a threat to me.
Monkeys are ridiculously strong and vicious when they go to war in groups.

Philosophical question, assuming kt's not a fake news: are those monkeys "evil"? If they revenge is agains siblings of the aggressor or just dogs in general, I would say so. Looks like they are intelligent enough to be evil.

All wild animals are stronger than they look. Humans are comparatively weak.. most of us can’t fight a deer. Monkeys are intelligent. They are aware of leverage and potential danger. They jump on people, chase, scratch and bite them
I'd say making buffer overflow and UAF CVEs Just Go Away -- forever -- is a DAMN good reason to switch to Rust.

I've found that prior exposure to C is somewhat negatively correlated with willingness to grok Rust. Something in their mind rebels against it, which is why I say that if you're an "old hand" C programmer who feels that the syntax of Rust is too hard, or the borrow checker is obscure, maybe you shouldn't worry about learining Rust because Rust isn't for you -- it's for your replacement. You're John Henry, the borrow checker is the mechanical spike driver, and no matter how hard you work at it all your programming discipline is just no match.
"Circuitry around revenge" is probably a beneficial social "skill" for facilitating group cooperation, there's all kinds of game theory (e.g. basic things like iterated prisoners dilemma tit-for-tat strategy) that suggests that knowing about the presence of revenge acts and a likelihood of punishing defection (even at extra 'expense' for the punisher) deters defection, and allows to reach a better shared result.

I.e. if we simply could abandon that at the flip of a switch, I'm not sure if we should, it's plausible that it would make all kinds of abuse less risky and thus more attractive, increasing the abuse happening in the world.

>people like their wireless headphones, they like noise cancellation and so on

Just to be clear, "noise cancellation and so on" doesn't in any way require the headphones to be wireless.

I think many people would appreciate it if features, which are typically found in wireless headphones, were available in wired headphones too (which have some other benefits, like lower weight, no charging...). There's a reason many of us prefer wired mice and keyboards, even though the wireless alternatives are pretty decent nowadays.
> You're spamming the thread with dramatic comments that are premised on this not being a one-off freak accident

My bad. I've been led to believe that the batteries in these headphones are inherently dangerous and that the OP should have known better by the commenters that defend Bose elsewhere in the thread:

>In the end you're carrying a high energy density power source on your head that would love to just catch fire. Don't they teach kids anything in chemistry these days?

>I mean I’m glad it didn’t happen to me, but a billion people are carrying around billions of Lithium-ion batteries. Those batteries sometimes catch fire because Lithium is highly flammable. It’s gonna happen.

>Nothing is perfectly safe, that is how lithium batteries fail. You should know so you can properly deal with problems.

>Well, at lease EVs are spontaneously catching fire.

>Everyone is aware of the risks, there were a bunch of stories about airplane cell phone fires a few years ago.

>lithium battery fires are really nasty, and that's why he got a chemical burn. LiPF6 is a contact irritant, PF5 it decomposes to is a gas, and also a respiratory irritant, and HF PH5 decomposes in the air is a dangerous poisonous acid. This is what everybody visiting a lithium battery factory is told on safety orientation. In case there is fire in the factory, run, preferably until you are few blocks away.

Combining this, we have on our hands an inevitable freak accident that every consumer should be prepared for, but no manufacturer can expect to happen or do anything to mitigate the damage.

Got it.
I'm not sure if monkeys experience revenge the way humans do. As one of the comments mentioned in the article, it's probably just a survival instinct.

Revenge is counter-productive most of the time. It's only really useful when you want to galvanize a population into suicide.

Otherwise you get into a cycle of revenge for revenge for revenge that wastes everybody's energy.
>OP's point was "This sucks, they're doing away with objective criteria."

Actually, standardized testing does not represent objective criteria for a number of reasons, so that's an incorrect assumption.

But, my point was why do we also just assume that it "sucks" to do away with it? Where's the evidence that they are effective criteria?

If we're demanding proof that they are not effective, then it's fair to question how we established they are effective in the first place. Else, it's really just a default assumption that represents a positive assertion (i.e. an unsubstantiated claim).
It wasn’t clear you were being sarcastic.
Thanks all for suggestions on this thread. I have another recommendation.

I agree with your points about unfairness, and that laborers are much more deserving of time off than office workers. But I wouldn't characterize it as class warfare.

In most cases, when physical labor doesn't get performed, people notice. There are consequences that ripple out, affecting other people or systems.

In most cases, when office work doesn't get performed, people don't notice. Things just stay the same.

The system rewards cheaper and faster. But that's an issue of (primarily financial) incentives, not sociocultural biases.

ya and weirdly a lot of the science behind happiness is just the basics like not having much stuff, keep the stuff you do have organized and leave some room for more, and all these little cuts that just add up to a better life.

It made me pay more attention to my energy levels and early warnings signs when I am pushing too hard. Which then made me better at helping my team with those, and making sure they were healthy/happy.

I feel like I actually get a bump in comprehension if I do a menial task like dishwashing while listening to an audiobook, versus sitting down with my eyes closed.

It’s down to the definition of “derivative work” and the FSF may not have it legally correct (they may be overstating what can be considered derivative from a legal viewpoint) - as it has never reached litigation we don’t have a final solid answer.

And even if it did we’d only have a precedent that may be hard to apply.

I get my recommendations from the content I read. Someone in a talk mentions an article/book/person, I quickly take a note with the context (from video URL, interview with X, mentions Y, or book, or something). I use TaskWarrior.
But doesn't the network effect (e.g. the fact that 95% of the people out there won't have heard of said platform and won't have much interest in using it due to their friends not being there) kind of ruin the efficacy of doing that?

I kind of see that now with Signal/Telegram, most of my friends are still on WhatsApp, so using either of those as an alternative to it isn't a viable choice, since i'd have very few people to chat with. In contrast, WhatsApp is an already established solution, so i wouldn't have to ask them to install a new app either (which i tried, about 10% even cared about Meta owning it).

In regards to having any sort of a social media account for a company, that would be a non-starter in most cases - since you'd limit your outreach possibilities severely by using niche networks. That said, it can work for other sorts of software, like file sharing software (Nextcloud over Google Drive or Dropbox or whatever), and federated networks could be worthy of further consideration as well.

The higher the barrier to sharing things, the fewer things will be shared. "WE won't lose anything but low quality dross that wasn't worth anything" is the usual counter argument, but that's an oversimplification at best. The long tail of "low attention" things provide room for the sparking and evolution of new ideas for which there is no room in the "high attention" center.

So, no: there shouldn't be any block to sharing anything someone feels moved to donate to the world.
> can they really ambush a human, and push them over a ledge?

I would say male adult monkeys in my village can (males are bigger and stronger), although they don’t. They are fast, agile and acrobatic. Except for well prepared adult humans, monkeys can throw everyone else off a ledge.

Reason so many monkeys exist in India is because they are sacred animals (to Hindus, 80% population). In our village, no one can kill them. The most one can do is throw a stone to scare them away.
