My "it just works"-setup is the following: all devices are connected via a cable to a cheap audio mixer, including one Bluetooth receiver to which my phone can connect to.

The mixer has a long cable to a well positioned spot in the apartment and the cable ends with a Bluetooth transmitter. A small (4cm x 4cm x 1cm) Bluetooth receiver has wired in-ear headphones connected to it and that's it.

This receiver has small a magnet glued to it, and the desk has another magnet glued to it. The USB-charging cable also has a magnetic adapter so that the micro-USB end is left in the receiver, and when I leave the desk I just have to pull the receiver way, which stops the loading process since the USB cable is also easily separated. When I get back to the desk I just snap the receiver to the magnet of the desk, and if I feel that I should charge it (no issues with using it 6 hours without charging it), I just snap the magnetic end of the cable to the receiver.

Every device which wants to send me audio can do it, and I can move freely around the apartment without any interruption.

When I go out I use another Bluetooth headset connected to the phone.

The annoyances listed in the article would drive me absolutely mad.

Thank you! Didn’t know that this was possible, I’ll give it a try!
This fills me with dread, resentment and anger. I wanted a future where I would be the master of technology, and what I am getting instead is more of the "I can't let you do this, Dave" vibe. I want to live in a community of individuals, not be subjugated to whatever happens to feed the anxieties and neuroses of society. Is there... will there be a way to resist this obscenity?

The term "conspiracy theory" is a slur intended to blur two distinct concepts into one.

On the one hand, it means "insane school of thought". i.e. the Earth is flat. Something which is either totally off the wall, or at least unfalsifiable.

On the other hand, it means "non-mainstream school of thought" i.e. phones are being used to track people. It might be true, might not (well, now we know it is), but it's totally plausible.

Once you realise that you basically come to the conclusion that people who waffle on about "conspiracy theories" aren't using sound reasoning, because they're not interested in being understood.
Because some thought the source is not reliable…or something similar.
I am still like OP. I have tried three pairs of airpods and currently use a Bose Bluetooth headphones with an optional attachable wire. Airpods are very painful for more than two devices, get lost, go through the wash, forget the charging cable, etc etc. The problem for me is that apple removed the headphone jack even as an option, and many other phone manufacturers copied that on all but their budget models.

No, this is absolutely not true. For example scientists have made hundreds of point mutations and probed them, even if the "fitness" was lower (not clear what that even means in this context).

A vaccinated person can still spread the disease. Perhaps at a lower rate, but a lot of lifestyle choices affect that rate. The singular focus on that one choice is irrational and the obsession with what other people inject into their bodies is unethical, since the free choice of a person to inject or not inject a substance into their body is more fundamental than many of the other choices that affect the rate of spread.

I have personally been vaccinated but I feel a pang of guilt whenever I use the government mandated vaccine passport to make use of restaurants and so on. So I stop using those facilities that require a vaccine passport, with the exception of the gym.

First, the article would read much better without a pejorative outgroup reference of "weirdo living off the grid", especially in its opening paragraph!

In general we would have to be much less guarded about the collection of personal information if we had laws prohibiting its harmful use ala the GDPR. Presently, anything that is collected becomes fair game for the advertising-surveillance industry's monetization, manipulation, and indefinite storage. So an entity with a bona fide use for personal information (eg The Census) cannot be trusted because resisting collection of such data is currently the only way to prevent yourself from being abused. And while I agree practically the Census isn't really collecting much data that the surveillance industry doesn't already have, this dynamic still informs societal norms.

Backyard BBQ’s and cocktail parties must have been phenomenal. Just to be a fly on the wall. Wow.
For future reference, issues like this can be avoided by using “event” rather than “fact” semantics. The data published on the chain is a fact “can16358p loves girlfriend” which doesn’t imply any time window. An event semantic of “can16358p loved girlfriend” would have made this much less confusing, and in this case something akin to a certificate expiration with frequent renewals might have helped.
It's weird to me how many people are like "yeah but every other bluetooth is worse". I have Airpod Pros and experienced every one of these issues and many more on the regular with them, but my several years old now Bose QC 35II never have any of these problems, still last like 5 times as long on battery after years of recharge cycles, interact better with two simultaneously connected devices, have better signal range before dropping out, and I can control the damned volume without trying a dozen times to get Siri to wake the fuck up because airpods have no built-in volume controls and Siri's voice activation is worse than terrible.

The Airpods are set to connect automatically to my macbook when I wear them AND THEY DON'T. EVER. And then calls on my iPhone will stupidly decide to connect and route audio to airpods that I'm not even wearing while they are just sitting on my desk when the phone was literally moments before using the handset speaker for a video. Know what bluetooth device does not have these problems? You guessed it, the one not made by Apple. Like...come on.

I really want to like airpods, but they're just not good.
> Their choice to not be vaccinated or wear masks results in people we love dying.

It's hard to see how vaccines stop the spread when places like NYC or Israel (some of the most vaccinated places in the world) had record setting numbers in the recent wave.

If vaccines work, shouldn't the "people you love" be vaccinated and thus not impacted by unvaccinated people?

I understand masks can be effective in some cases, but is it really reasonable to demand people wear surgical or N95 masks all the time to prevent "people you love" from getting an illness with a 99.99% survival rate?
I can only speak from my own experience, but I've been using the same set of wired KZ ZSN in-ear-monitors for the past few years. They're nothing ground-breaking, but they cost under $25.

The wires loop back behind my ears so they don't get pulled out easily, the wires have yet to short out, and they are replaceable in case I ever want or need to replace them. I almost always use them with my phone, so the USB-C-to-3.5mm dongle that came with my phone is typically attached to the end.

I don't mean to shill for this or any other brand in particular, but I'm pretty sure there are several affordable, decent quality earbuds/IEMs out there with replaceable cables.

If we're doing masks permanently I am going to invest in some bespoke Darth Vader style of head dress or a space suit, because I am completely done with masks.

I've made and used home sewn masks using one of the recommended sewing patterns for the past two years, and I've managed to get a good fit that only fogged up my glasses partly, but since last week these masks have been banned here in the Netherlands. Not because they are proven to be worse than the type II surgical masks that are recommended now, but because the government wants to standardize. So now I wear disposable masks that mean my glasses fog up every damn time I enter a building. Great.

Then there is that constant feeling of not getting enough oxygen, all while being confronted with the 5% who simply refuse to wear a mask in the shops, and shop staff refusing to remark on it for fear of getting into an altercation. I'm thoroughly through with masks. I'll wear them where and when mandatory, but certainly not indefinitely.

> “It’s a big job,” Lyon said. “Our human labelers will have to assess and label at least 10,000 tweets.”

This is where my concern comes in. For example the statement "Dang immigrants are taking our God given jobs." vs the statement "An influx of immigrants into a region increases the amount of labor available and decreases the cost of said labor reducing wages." does the second one constitute hate speech? I could see many people arguing it does and just as many people arguing contrary to that. Does this mean the model is really just trained to identify speech the labelers disagree with?

Further the other big problem is that it only tracks twitter, and the disconnect between reality and twitter I've found is fairly broad. Most people I know do not use twitter and those that do almost none of them tweet in any meaningful capacity. So why the heck is that a good barometer. I've found twitter to not be a reflection of a population, but rather a funhouse mirror of the population.

Just to provide my own ancedata, I've been an AirPods users for a long time, and don't find the alert sounds particularly loud or annoying.

I think the volume of complaints and popularity of AirPods this speaks to wider variations in human hearing perception than one would expect. The main body of users have no problem, but enough people experience those sounds as painful to generate a volume complaints.

That's a rather pointless quibble. State laws that violate the constitution are challenged as unconstitutional, and overturned on that basis. There were antivaxers when the Smallpox virus was rampant. Smallpox is gone, because of vaccine mandates. Public schools require a whole panel of vaccines, both of their employees and students. Until now, that hasn't been seen to violate the constitution. But now, there's a supermajority in the Supreme Court, so really, who knows what the constitution says?

Better-Educated Women Still Prefer Higher-Earning Husbands (2016)
Has it ever actually done that?
Are the odds hugely in favor to leave it be? Sure, if you reason in terms of simple risk-adjusted years until death, it's an easy decision.

If you look at it in terms of outcomes beyond life/death, the calculations become more vague-ish. Is "fixed or dead" possibly preferable to risking negative outcomes with life-long impact? (If you live in the land of capitalism worship, a huge part of the decision is "can I currently afford this medical care, and do I think I still can in a few years")

It's certainly a difficult decision, but it is some that should be up to individuals. We shouldn't have doctors make that decision on your behalf, as if they somehow knew better. We should educate doctors on how better communicate risk, and how to talk about possible impact. (Most medical professionals switch to "deer in headlights" when you want to talk about probabilities of outcomes, and certainly can't explain them well if you even get them to talk)

> The £200 of passive income presumably came from a stock of wealth

Given we're talking about Agatha Christie here, I imagine the £200 of passive income came from book sales.
The first thing I think of when I see projects tracking "hate speech" is how they differentiate between speech they disagree with (typically right-wing speech) and speech that is truly hateful. Considering that professor associated with this project said, "Nationalist sentiments also promote immigrants’ dispossession and exclusion," my skepticism remains high.
This type of thinking is the core of the problem. Both sides ascribe the worst to the other. "They're just too stupid to realize why I'm right!"

Get off your high horse.
Some of the more fringe commentators have been pointing out how the batches of vaccines with higher rates of reported adverse effects are also concentrated in red and purple states. This could be that people are more likely to report adverse reactions in this case, but it is interesting.

The Internet is "failure-resistant" in the senses that (1) individual networks going down don't take down the entire Internet, and (2) networks that peer with other networks can still be routed to so long as at least one route is still online.

North Korea's failure demonstrates both of these properties: the Internet is still online, and the routing failure has manifested because all of their peering routes are down.

Extremely dangerous to attack North Korea's civilian communications, which are largely the same as their military's. Depending on the impact, it could confuse leadership into thinking a decapitation strike is underway.

edit: A specific example I was thinking of is the DPRK's civilian cell phone network, Koryolink (particularly this subsection under "Nuclear Crisis Communications"):

>"If North Korean leaders rely on the country’s cellular network for crisis communications, there is a real chance of interruptions in network service during a crisis, and they might be misinterpreted as a cyberattack against North Korea’s nuclear forces. While North Korean “special users” have their own dedicated channel, it appears to operate on the same network infrastructure, using the same towers and the same base stations."

"a project that aims to track anti-immigrant hate speech in real time"

Wow, let's go full dystopian and show the CCP we can do it better. It's frightening that _this_ is what universities (Cornell, in fact) wish to pursue.

They want to automate flagging (and of course naming and shaming) based on completely subjective concepts of "anti-immigrant" and "hate speech". Are statements opposing illegal immigration "anti-immigrant hate speech" -- I'd bet so. Where are the lines? Who decides?

That ostensibly intelligent people have the desire to do this is chilling.
So if I'm understanding this correctly, you had the device set to let in ambient sound, but a motor vehicle slamming on the brakes was filtered out, and you consider this to be a good thing? Sounds dangerous to me.
If Google is deemed a monopoly in search (or advertising, or Android app store, etc.), using that position or money to try and gain advantage in another market (in this case, phones) is problematic.
