Yea I went wired at the beginning of the pandemic, QC-35 wired with a wired antlion mic, works like a charm. 3 main reasons I went with this setup :
1- Reduce the audio lag (bluetooth comes with a noticeable lag in video conferencing)
2- Not having to worry about battery life (going wired vastly improved the QC-35 battery life)
3- Keep the stellar comfort (at least for me) of the QC-35.

I personally don't understand why people endure the sucky audio quality of bluetooth handset profile. Couple this with a very ordinary battery life for airpods (I don't care if it charges in 10 minutes, when it's out and you need it you're stuck), I don't understand why this product is so popular.
>” At this point if an adult in the US is unvaccinated it is (1) almost certainly by choice (there are some people who cannot get it for medical reasons but they make up only a very tiny fraction of the unvaccinated), and (2) it is very unlikely that any evidence or logical arguments will chance their minds.”

This typical line of thought ignores a huge issue. Vaccine mandates don’t help per se, but it’s an issue that is pretty bad to just gloss over.

Articles like this really need to describe some sort of policy or plan for the 7 million or so immunocompromised people in America.

Like at least mention them and advocate something. Don’t just gloss over 7 million people. Propose something like Priority access to the new Pfizer pills and additional assistance with other things to avoid high risk activities.
Seconding Obsidian. I started using it recently (admittedly for TTRPG notes) and I really like it! I haven't done a lot of cross-linking but it seems to work really well!

Even better, it stores everything in plain Markdown files in a folder hierarchy, so you can easily back everything up and/or interact with them outside the app if need be.

Even EVEN better, they have mobile apps that are perfectly happy to let you use your own file-syncing mechanism if you want to (although they do offer a sync service of their own as well.) Once I got it set up, everything Just Worked.

It does, but requires the legally significant hurdle of demonstrating precisely how much harm was created. You need to be able to show the kinds and amount of harm that the subject foisted upon the public, and that harm must be "significant" to the entire populace. It's a huge barrier to climb over.

20+ years ago also used the meta description tag from a page instead of page text snippets. We're many decades past blindly accepting page author provided content as being the most useful thing to display. People keep thinking of Google as a search engine greps pages to find matching text. That is old/obsolete thinking, any Google-like services has evolved how directly it can return the information/answer you seek instead of returning a page that may contain the information/answer you seek.

If you need good audio in one home location, then the dongle is just fine. My best audio, speaking and listening, is a gamer wireless over the head/around the ears thing with a microphone that can extend to where my mouth is that I bought off my son after he switched to some fancier thing with a YouTuber style mic. It has a base station that plugs into USB and also charges a second battery so I can talk and listen continuously. At work, sounding clear and not having your sound break is quite useful. Also for online games. If it’s just pod cast listening and yelling at kids to text when they get there or whatever, maybe it isn’t as important as these other features.

But also, in general, they say perfection is reached when there is nothing left to remove. Extra features often mean something is wrong with the design. Even with programming languages, it is vastly better for the default response to requested new features is “no.”
I really hate arguments by analogy. Either the analogy is perfect, in which case the answer is no more visible than it was in the first place, or we're now arguing about the difference between the analogy and the original question.

So I'm not going to get sucked into it. If you have a point to make, make it on the original question, not on one you've tuned to give you the answer that you want.

Indeed, which is why we should think carefully about it.

The worst? Actually, no; just the current situation relevant for this conversation. And there's always someone worse off, of course.
I just read the post and take it as a good introduction. That's about as much as I've read about Gemini, though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Which Windows subsystem do you need?

I need the Windows Subsystem for Android.

I'm not away of any Android Subsystems that can run Windows (or Windows applications). But these are Windows subsystems, so that's OK.

shrug I personally don't find it confusing. If there was a way to run Win32 applications or Android, it could be Win32 on Android, or the Android Subsystem for Win32 Applications.

Not OP, but I am. I don't mind laws mandating that cars HAVE seatbelts. But I think it's your choice if you want to wear them.

With Heroin, I'm not sure criminalization really had much affect at all on the percentage of heroin addicts. And I'd bet that it had less effect than the rate of prescriptions for synthetic opiates did.
There are two ways to do a nuclear rocket. The "clean" way, closed loop. And the "dirty" way. Open loop.

Closed loop is actually not all that different from using a reactor as a generator. But instead of using your cooling system to power a turbine via a head exchanger, you use it to heat a reaction mass such as H2.

Open loop is closer to what you describe. Instead of indirectly heating your reaction mass, you run it directly through the hot reactor. It's simpler and lighter but your exhaust is extremely radioactive. Your reaction mass essentially doubles as the cooling system. Another downside to this approach is you cant run the reactor without making thrust. So lights out if you are coasting I guess.

This response is actually an example of what I'm talking about.

The comment that I replied to was explaining how the segment of the population that is a candidate for giving themselves covid while being high risk is (and has been) shrinking out of existence.

Meanwhile, there is a much larger (and growing) cohort that continues to be harrased if they (fairly) decide they don't need these vaccines, and the harrasment is justified by claims like yours.

Even the CDC has finally come around and published data along these lines (despite numerous studies suggesting the same starting from early last year). But after bullshitting people for so long, I guess we just have to expect there will be a ton of inertia behind the idea that every human needs these vaccines, no matter what.
I was so crushed to see that this is an Electron app. I'm a longtime iA Writer craving built-in Pandoc export, and this is basically my dream app. I just can't get behind running all of Chromium to support a minimalist text editor.

Denying healthcare to people who need immediate emergency care is immoral -- so much so that it's one of the few things that even US law forces hospitals to do.

I think it is significantly more of a moral issue to punish people by letting them die in the street than it is a moral problem to require adherence to public health standards to eat in a restaurant.

Applied to any other public health concern, this suggestion would be silly. Should we deny people treatment for food poisoning if they want the freedom to break food-safety rules at a restaurant? Should we deny treatment to a traffic accident victim if they were speeding?

Steam Deck Gets an Official Release Date
> Are you sure?

Yes, absolutely sure.

> To get a mortgage

I said:

>> make your mortgage or car payment

Making payment on existing loan != taking out a new loan.

> they check the source of your down payment and it cannot be cash.

If you mean literal physical cash: the main reason for this is that no one involved in the transaction is interested in taking on the risk of carrying briefcases full of cash across town.

If you mean money in a bank account that is of unknown provenance: This isn't really an issue unless you make a huge lump sum deposit just before closing and have absolutely zero documentation regarding where it came from. Even then, giant sums recently deposited isn't a problem. You just have to prove that it's of non-criminal provenance. Recent pay stubs or sales receipts will do.

That has nothing to do with the money being "cash" or not, though.

And even then, it's mostly about access to giant piles of credit. If you don't need to borrow huge piles of someone else's money, then no one gives a shit. E.g., I've purchased property with a cashier's check, which is about as close to literal cash as you can get without major security risks involved.)
Actually, the biggest issue here is writing a native iOS app, due to the limitations enforced by Apple. Browsers on iOS are also a big pain, because all iOS browsers use the Safari rendering engine and the users don't even have the choice to use anything else.

However, you wrote that 'the page unloads when navigating' which made me wonder, how much you know about frontend development, because the pattern to prevent browsers from navigating is such a common topic and there are multiple solution patterns, all well understood by professional frontend developers:

- preventDefault

- return false

- use anchors

The 1000 item list is indeed a problem frontend developers have to be aware of. Modern flagship smartphones may have the capability to render such lists, but less powerful devices can't handle the load in a 60fps fashion. So you have to build list views that render only the visible part of the list. In the end, you have to do that anyway, because even for high-end devices there are limits to what they can show, but many web-components are not build with such scenarios in mind. And that is certainly one of the reasons why there are so many web apps with slow performance rendering.

> What is "questionable" about that? Maybe that is not stealing but it is an obvious fraud.

The plugin author claims that the ramp-up to 30% is an anti-abuse measure. Supposedly, something triggered the abuse abuse flag and the rev-share ramped up as a "get in touch with us" signal, with the additional rev-share refunded when the user does get in touch.

Taken at face value, I think that's not unreasonable, though the lack of logging from the plug-in author's side is questionable (asking the customer how much they wanted refunded).

Where I think the jury is out is whether that is actually what happened, or whether the plug-in just ramps up every customer to see what their pain tolerance is.

$27B and $8B AUM are both peanuts, and I imagine not a big factor in determining valuation for these robo-advisors. Corporations are likely more interested in the number of users, demographic breakdown (mostly well-off millennials), their financial data, credit profiles and upsell opportunities.

That's very difficult to know, but most studies of "superimmunity" were done on people who got sick and then got vaccinated, not the other way around (and those generally were patient contacts, so often more severe than symptoms that would normally be treated at home).

The only way to have a known, titrated response is to be vaccinated. And the vaccines actually are free, and the side effects are very low and they're safer than aspirin. And they're designed to bypass innate and intrinsic immunity and to stimulate humoral immunity -- where the natural virus has a gene that specifically tries to combat the host humoral immune response.

The fetish for natural immunity is ascientific. Every bit as much as something like Steve Jobs rejecting surgery for his cancer in favor of natural alternative treatments.
Other than robo advisors, what service exists where I can schedule a weekly transfer and automatically invest across 6-8 asset classes? (Many 401k providers do this, but I’m not aware of any post-tax investment accounts other than robo advisors)

My mom had to wait for ~ 5 hrs in ER waiting room in relatively severe pain. Was another 8-9 hours 'inside' just to be sent home.

I would imagine that it's highly likely that people who get myocarditis from the vaccine would have gotten myocarditis from the virus. Certainly more than the general population.

Yes absolutely, the concept you are missing is "culture" - the majority of knowledge a "citizen" or "consumer" is taught is either picked up through cultural context (parents, TV, books, online articles), or through a common cultural ritual (often school, maybe some game).

You won't even know what to search for if you don't know its something you can do - heck, given certain cultural contexts, you won't even know you can search for "what to do when" X happens.

And that goes back to the earlier point - unless your problem is something low-hanging on WikiHow, commercial/legal construct is such that you probably won't find the answer to your problem, and end up having to "hire an expert", assuming you have the money to do so. So, anti-patterns, yes, absolutely.

This is definitely the most pressing issue, but shouldn't we also, as a society, build the ability to e.g. double ICU capacity when needed? We're not talking about 100x here.

As much as I support vaccination, it feels like gaps in vaccination are also used as an excuse to blow off repairing an extremely fragile public health system. We've had two years at this point.

It still comes down to librarian interpretation. Sometimes they will just defer to another source, like the national library of their country, or the publishers recommendations, but at least in my experience working part time in a library many years ago, the librarians out back doing the processing and cataloguing would refer to Dewey index guides and also make judgements based on the nature of the book (eg mostly practical vs theoretical nature would be the difference between a 6xx filing and somewhere completely different).

If you find yourself in a state of emergency, you might be out of luck if you don't own a SIM card registered to your own name, plugged into a modem which you cannot fully control by law.

BTW, if you want to make a call over the telephone network, neither the PinePhone nor the Librem 5 carry a modem you can control. In both cases, the modem is a black box with non-free firmware that you're probably not even allowed to modify, depending on jurisdiction.

Oh, and it doesn't even have to be an emergency. You might find out that your hospital only accepts appointments made by phone, and will turn you around from the door due to COVID restrictions when you try to schedule a visit. What will you choose?

Granted, it's not a legal requirement to take advantage of your legally mandated health insurance, but it's a catch-22 that was constructed out of a clash of laws.

Government revenue is 30% of GDP. Most of that comes either from taxing either US nationals or those residing inside US, or indirectly via tariffs and inflation (both of which effects both US nationals and foreigners).

90 years ago it was about 1/4th that figure (as percent GDP). We've had an explosion of government siphoning of GDP, so it's no surprise some people aren't happy about the situation. Recent stimulus checks excepted, in the US a single person making above poverty line can actually be taxed into poverty.

I have looked into opting out of social security, but unfortunately you have to be a member of one of a few select religious organizations or certain unusual employment situations to be exempted (believe some teachers and rail workers with special retirement plans are excepted). I would like to see that option. Let me opt out for life of getting benefits of transfer payment, and in exchange not require me to pay any social transfer payment tax.

It's not. 50% market share is more than enough to have significant market power. Especially when the rest of the market is only a single company and barriers to entry are enormous. (Remember that Microsoft -- the company with 95% desktop market share -- tried and failed to enter this market.)
