I thought this was a pretty reasonable compromise, except that whenever I need mine I can't find it. Today, I know exactly where it is, but that's 15 miles away. The funny thing about this problem is that the experience only suffers on Apple devices when I can't find the dongle. I can use my nice fancy favorite headphones everywhere else with no problem. Apple is not about to convince me to toss my favorite headphones just because they are stubborn about headphone jacks; sorry.

Note that it also causes a problem that bugs me daily, which is that I can't use my headset when my power is low and I need to plug my phone in. They make those little "splitter" dongles that allegedly allow you to do both, but in my experience, they only work about 50% of the time, and while you're on your call, your phone secretly stops charging and goes dead, or sometimes the moment you plug it in, it puts up an alert that says "unsupported device" and neither the power nor the headset work at all. I've tried three or four different brands on three different iPhones and they're all so flaky I've stopped even trying. I wish Apple would just make one and stand behind the quality and make me pay $10 for it. I'd be grumpy about it, but at least it would work.
If one of your concerns is that you end up washing your headphones, you’re right - I don’t think you’re ready for wireless earbuds.
At least it's short. Speaking as someone who used to be an "IBM VisualAge for C++ for OS/2" user. (s/developer/user/ edit for clarity)

I don't really think it's doublespeak as such, just the weird corporate perspective. They built a subsystem that supports Linux so "Windows subsystem for Linux" makes logical sense at least. I think with that (twisted) perspective "Linux for Windows" would imply a version of Linux that was for running Windows applications.

I wholeheartedly agree that "Linux for Windows" would be a better name for WSL, but I can see their point of view if I squint enough.

Also, at least this new subsystem is consistently named; if you know what WSL is it's obvious what this is.
It's a Windows subsystem for running Android. What doublespeak?
The good news is if you pay the $100 for TSA Pre-Check, you won't have to take your mask off to clear the checkpoint.
Right wing media is completely fixated on VAERS and 99% of non-healthcare workers who do not consume right wing media have never heard of it. So it would stand to reason there is a difference in rate of reporting.
Back when I was younger we had to develop a few simulations in university, and we spent half the semester coding the building blocks in C. I was slightly good at it, and having seen my brother stumble a couple of years before, I knew I had to be careful with the data structures and general code layout to keep things simple and working.

As this was a group project, there were other hands on deck. One weekend I caught a nasty cold and I couldn't assist the weekly meeting to work on the project. Monday comes and we have to show our advances. The code was butchered. It took me a day to fix what had been broken (and keeping egos at bay, it would've been easier to just throw everything away and implement things from my last stable version).

Now I can fire up python, import numpy and scipy, and make far more complex simulations in a couple of minutes and a few lines of code. Sure, back then python and numpy did exist, I just didn't know about them. But you know what didn't exist 10-15 years ago? Pytorch, TensorFlow, JAX and all the deep learning ecosystem (probably scikit-learn did exstist, it's been around forever!). Thanks to those, I can program/train deep learning algorithms for which I probably wouldn't be able to code the lower-level abstractions to make them work. JAX comes with a numpy that runs on hardware "for free" (and there was PyCUDA before that if you had a compatible GPU).

That's the programmer productivity you're not seeing. Sure, these are very specific examples, but we have many more building blocks available to make interesting things without having to worry about the lower layers.

You can also complain about Electron being a bloated layer, and that's OK. There's your comparisson about how Spotify is slow and Winamp is/was fast.
Same, I guess we could take bets on which bubble will last longer. This or Tesla stock.
Yes I'm aware how fats change the function of cells, that's exactly what I said in my previous comment. The only thing actually special about omega3/6 is that they are essential fatty acids meaning that we can't biosynthesize them.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid

But the thing is that all fatty acids can do these things, that was my point. Yes we need omega3/6 as precursor for some other compounds but that doesn't somehow make them special in such a way that they have anything to do with the subject at hand that we are posting on.
> That’s about it. Could you do all of this with a smartphone? Yeah, kinda, if you root prepaid Android phone, but even that would cost more than $30.

You can almost certainly do better than $30 on local marketplaces, or by asking friends if they have a disused smartphone sitting around.

reusing is absurdly cost efficient
I agree in principle. It is bad form to not try to respect industry conventions.

However, blaming "e.g. any license-scanning tools" is not correct either, since that would be clearly a limitation of the license tool, encoding assumptions of location and standardization that are nothing more than convention. I mean this in the sense that if you went to court and your excuse was "my tool didn't pick that up", you would probably not be victorious, since the terms were laid out clearly for human consumption.

And I agree, a lawyer would not want to use this dependency, but it shouldn't take a lawyer to do that. You are responsible for the legal implications of using anyone else's software.
Oh yeah, I'm aware. My hopes aren't placed in Europe, I live in Moscow :)

It's interesting you say that I've recently started reading Dune, and one point that I found interesting was that the Butlerian Jihad was not a revolution where they swore of the machines who had become malicious against them but rather that some humans were using the machines to oppress other humans and that is what led to the Jihad. I find it interesting that all these technologies that are supposed to make our lives easier really just end up transferring power from one group of people to another.

So what I am saying is a Butlerian Jihad is always a solution.

That same plugin has bitten me in the past as well. I used it to display full screen interstitial ads. Despite the author raking in cash from users the plugin was rather broken when I used it. The biggest shortcoming is that it wouldn't properly differentiate ads that the user completely watched and ads that the user dismissed.
> much of Silicon Valley would be "Ludds"

Bullshit.

Much of Silicon Valley likes to think they would be Ludds but they do so while hailing an Uber from their iPhone and hoping that their DoorDash is devlivered on time so they can eat while they watch a HBO Max show and they hope that nobody stole their Amazon Prime package.

The ultimate piece of evergreen content I’ve heard of is Peter Stark’s “Frozen Alive” for Outside Magazine.[0] It’s a story about what hypothermia does to you, told as a second person narrative. It was first written 25 years ago. It was a hit article in 1997, and since at least 2016, it is one of Outside Magazine’s most read articles every year.[1][2]

I think the value of RapidAPI comes from discovery (which I'm not sure if anyone uses for discovery) and payments. It's really slick setting up and enforcing pricing plans. But I think if you're serious in using an API you're going to need an agreement with the provider.
Why isn't the audio device owned by the logged in user? udev could easily do that.

It'd be a problem if more than one user in logged in to the local console, in a multi head environment for example. But those are rare, and already have to solve the same problem for other console related devices such as mice and keyboard.

I mean, if you don't like the research, it also directly directly impacts voting representation and where federal grant money is distributed, to target the intended demographics and population. Basing either of those on random noise is very very bad.
I don't think the OP disagrees with you.

The patients who don't get the experimental treatment didn't refuse the experimental treatment -- they were never offered it at all which is the problem.

The ethics and regulatory red tape kills any hope for such a treatment before patient consent is even a question.

Yes, just as they can shut down movie downloads on BitTorrent.
> Chinese noodles and Italian pasta have nothing in common save for the shape of some variants.

While Chinese noodles may be made of rice or wheat flour and Italian pasta is made of wheat flour, the noodles, regardless of what material they're made of, are indeed made in more or less the same way. And indeed, as you have left it, insisting they have nothing in common does not change that it's entirely unsupportable. That the earliest evidence of Italian pasta around the 4th century BC postdates the earliest evidence of China trading with the West, which predates Rome's founding, it is clear when taken in context of the earliest evidence of Chinese noodles around the 4th millennium BC that the recipe for noodles migrated to the West. While it is possible some intrepid Roman chef independently divined the magical process of inducing noodles from wheat flour coincidentally right around the time of the earliest evidence of Chinese trade with the West, it is slightly more complicated than the recipe, a staple of Chinese cuisine for maybe 3500 years by then, being passed along with silk, tea and ivory by traders.

I am completely flummoxed that you can't seem to grasp this, that not only did Romans not invent pasta, they could not possibly have ever made or even tasted pasta sauce, as Christopher Columbus hadn't yet been born when the last Roman died, nor could he have invented the tomato before 1492. Italy basically imported everything, invented nothing, even the Romans themselves were imported and stole most of the innovations attributed to them from the Etruscans, themselves having migrated from S. Turkey, and who the Romans pretty much wiped out within a few hundred years. Italians like to trace their roots in a flattering way because Rome happens to be there, but I don't think there were any Italians before 1946.
Snowden is twitting from Moscow. Russians in a similar position have been formally labeled "foreign agents", imprisoned, or worse. I'm wondering how Snowden managed to avoid a similar fate.
One comparable here is the Raspberry Pi 400 at $70. That doesn't have a screen but has a lot more CPU, etc.

You have to be really careful doing that. It's very easy to screw up your ears with bone conduction headphones if you try to drown out background noise by increasing the volume.

In the classical definition, a tragedy is a story about a person of high standing or good fortune who loses everything and typically dies in the end.

In Sideways, Giamattis character starts out in a really bad place, but through the events of the story ends up in a (slightly) more hopeful place. Having him kill himself in the end instead would not turn the story into a genuine tragedy, since nothing would really be lost. That would just be a pointless story going nowhere.

Hayden Church' character on the other hand do have something to lose, so his story could have been made a tragedy.

It's nice for someone like me who left the Apple ecosystem many years ago to see that an image for producing fancy gadgets does not mean you can eliminate common software issues.

Because this sounds just like any pair of BT headphones I've used in the last 2 years. Since I finally gave in and started using BT headphones

All in all I love them, I love being able to clean with headphones on and not snag on anything. I love being able to bike with them and not be tied to my phone.

But the BT issues are horrendous. After a year of just accepting that BT sucked someone finally said "install the app" so I did and the firmware update that resulted in solved most of the common issues actually.

So what's left now is weird stuff and quirks of Android. Like Android has a default setting to reconnect to connected speakers as soon as it sees them. Just like in OPs post this is supposed to be convenient but 99% of the time it's just annoying to me. Because I haven't even put my bike away coming home and already the speaker is blaring my audiobook in the kitchen, where I can't hear it.

The other issues are the slow connection when you get a call but that's a bit over demanding imho. Since it wasn't connected and you connect as you get the call so it's a bit short notice.

And then there are the rare unexplained issues like once a month I just disconnect and reboot everything because apps are playing, but no sound is coming out on BT.
Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I'm still working on figuring out some fallbacks for mobile browsers. It's especially tricky to render videos on mobile, both due to CPU/GPU constraints and due to some missing APIs–even Safari desktop is tough at the moment. But I hear you, I'll try my best to figure out a solution, even if it's just image exports to start.

The sale price does indeed fix the price, it's an 80% discount recurring for as long as you keep the subscription. I'll clarify that!
Thank you for your comment!

I don't think taking 2% is theft. Maybe it's a dark pattern, but it's definitely not theft. In the article, I say that I calmed down after explaining with 2%, which means my agreement with the situation.

The way the increase to 30% is made and the number of users with such a percentage says that the author deliberately increases the percentage without warning the user, which is theft
> good idea to have an emergency stash of the currency of dishonesty when travelling abroad

I recommend that you do some research about the economics of any country you visit. As you've already somewhat discovered, many places in Central America and South America will actually prefer payment in US dollars because the official government exchange rates from their local currency to dollars is extortionately unfair and not accurate to ForEx markets, this combined with high rates of inflation for the local currency and regular currency "resets" mean that people don't want to have their savings denominated in the local currency.

I don't know why you consider dollars to be the "currency of dishonesty", but all throughout the Americas, dollars are generally the highest valued currency because the US dominates economics and trade relations in the region. I imagine the same may be true in other parts of the world but they might preference other currencies rather than dollars (Ex: I found in some parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia that Euros were accepted in preference over local currency).

Any time you travel to a new country, do your research in advance.

Replaceable cables are a game changer in this space. The buds will last for years and years, and make up the bulk of the cost of a set. The cable could get ruined by one unlucky event... but if you have a couple of backup cables like me, it doesn't really matter. You can buy replacement cables off of Aliexpress for <$10.
Ok, so if suppressed symptoms means less likely to spread it- then restrictions based on vaccination status mean nothing. Restrictions based on symptoms are the only restrictions that make sense. I'm not arguing with you, but just pointing out one of the most ridiculous things that I'm currently going through here in Chicago. I am not allowed to workout at a gym, sit down and eat at a restaurant, but if I'm vaccinated, even if I'm sick, I can live my life unrestricted. I am now driving an extra 20 miles daily to workout as my partner was kicked from her gym for not being vaccinated. Great for the environment. Meanwhile- she caught covid a few weeks ago, and despite being pregnant, was recovered within 2 days. We isolated for a week, and I never had symptoms whatsoever. Natural immunity. Meanwhile, and this is anecdotal, but everyone we know that has has had a really bad time with covid during the past month, has also been vaccinated and boosted. And if they had mild cases, they didn't isolate like we did- they just assumed that they were fine because they are vaccinated. But we are the selfish ones.
Their clients are paying them to do exactly what they do. Do you perhaps mean their "data subjects" will change their behavior? That hasn't happened so far - advertising is a hell of a drug.

In Java, Indonesia, it is similar for Borobudur (massive Buddhist temple) and Prambanam (massive Hindu temple). Since they are both UNESCO heritage sites that have a small army of well-paid local and foreign experts constantly improving the sites, I do not mind to pay 10x or 20x compared to locals. The same was similar for temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia (Ankor Wat and friends). I have heard about some "elite level" Indian religious sites than do similar, but will offer local rates for people who carry an OCI card (Overseas Citizen of India card).

Of course not. I didn't say it is. It's a whole bunch of things. Google changing things is one very small factor.

But it is a factor...
In Romania something like this happened with house prices. I bought my first flat just as credit was becoming available for the general population - it costed me 27k USD; at that time, it was customary that you'd pay in full for an apartment, people were actually looking suspicious at you for involving the bank!

One colleague of mine wanted to keep saving and pay for an apartment in full; he didn't manage to, even though he was more senior (read: earned more money; also he lived alone, could save more than I could). What happened was that prices increased faster than his savings rate - effectively by waiting he lost money, and eventually gave up and took a credit. Now... there were multiple factors for the increases in the housing market, credit being available was not the only one, but I do believe it was one of the main drivers.
