I had some molds made for some custom musician's ear protection last week. They should be in soon.

I booked a bunch of dates running sound for country bands in a noisy dive bar. I don't see why they wanna play that loud, but it's their show. Personally, I want the mains to be louder than the monitors, if just out of consideration for intelligibility with the crowd.

The mold process was painless. I am curious how they will sound; ostensibly they are acoustically "flat", but given that our hearing response changes based on volume level I am skeptical. Hopefully they will be better than the cheap stuff I've been using.

I have used a set of Shure se215 for the last 5 years and they're freekin' great for, like mowing the lawn. Less good for playing in bar bands where I may have to interact with the audience.

All that said, I can see spending the 5-800 that custom IEMs run... but I can't see doing that if I didn't have to wear them on stage in a professional environment regularly enough for them to outpace the cost of a powered speaker.

Hell, I had a hard time dropping the $200 on hearing protection-- I usually just won't play with folks who play that loud. But I don't have a lot of choice when I am engineering other folks' shows.
Funny coincidence to see this. As a still-somewhat-new homeowner, I've faced similar pain points. When did I change the furnace filters... and what size are they, anyway? What was the model number of the downstairs faucet aerator? Who did I call last summer when the AC went out?

But like other commenters, my ideal solution would be a physical book! You have none of the privacy issues, no subscription, and no reliance on a vendor that might not exist decades from now. I searched for home maintenance logs, but I couldn't find one that was very much better than a spiral-bound stack of copier paper.

I'm thinking of making one myself. If anyone else interested in buying a copy or helping make it a reality, email in profile. I still want one!

I dunno. In my experience UI is hard because some PM decided to start switching everything around, citing some engagement metric that seems to go up, even though it's obvious to everybody that it's a bad idea at a human level.
There are no studies on the empiricism of HN comments, in which case anecdotes and personal observations are all we have.

And I'm not making some obtuse argument, but a common sense one which is readily recognizable by anyone who frequents HN. Are you contesting it?
Also, car accidents are effectively instantaneous, then you're usually either dead or en route to a hospital within some exponentially distributed period of time.

Societal collapse can last anywhere from a week, in the event of a hurricane, to decades. Living self-sustained in relative comfort for a week is difficult, doing it for a month is much more difficult, and longer time periods approach impossibility very quickly.

we're attempting to build out content curation for search at Breeze

in some cases, those results are baked into the core search experience, e.g., click news or recipes on main search at https://breezethat.com

in other cases, we're doing stand-alone drops as we experiment with different curation &/or technical challenges for different topics:

- college scholarships -- wide quality variance, https://breezethat.com/b/scholarships

- golf expert -- sheer breadth of websites, https://breezethat.com/x/demo-golf-search

- gender filter -- getting the dials just right, https://breezethat.com/p/gender-filter-beta

while it is the case that we're doing curation internally at the moment, we fully expect to open that up in some way as we scale; that will likely be after our next release to (1) fix our really awful mobile UX and (2) to deploy some version of our time filter, which is a core part of our thesis about easily tracking topics over time, e.g., this thread with some March Madness examples, https://twitter.com/HeyBreezeThat/status/1511397583209570311
This is inconsistent. If the rules were changed so that speech was regulated by the government, then the rules could also be changed to fight spam.

It won't happen, unfortunately, since "free speech" has become an article of faith in the US. Yet there are democracies where this works well; the choice isn't between freedom and slavery, the US or North Korea.
Do you expect people to have sufficient cognitive capacities by the time they are 18 to choose their language? ¿Hablas español?

One could very well argue "yes", but first and foremost speaking the language of their offline communities is pretty likely, if only through sheer inertia and a lack of concrete reasons to question that choice.

At 18, one stands a very good chance of having spent one's entire life roughly within the confines of a single monoculture and it's morals, social pressures, religion, language, etc etc etc. - quite possibly with contact intentionally limited by one's parents (not all of us were blessed/cursed with unrestricted, unmonitored, and unfiltered internet access, and many parents do a lot of meddling when it comes to friends and other social connections as well.)

It's often shortly after, when said people go to college, that they experience their first true culture shock. To the point where some communities will outright discourage college (pressuring boys to inherit a trade, or girls to marry and become homemakers), or at least discourage going out-of-state, pressuring children to stay closer where they can be - if not controlled - at least kept in a similar social environment, where they obstensibly won't "lose their way", where they can be more readily influenced.

Not saying one can't break away at 18, but for many people, the question isn't "Why [become a mormon missionary]?" but "Why break with tradition, family, friends, and one's entire support network, just to skip a little missionary work?"
Nope, I am very much not - but I believe the twitter algo biases opposing viewpoints on popular tweets. Go look a tweet from AOC, and then from Ted - the replies I see are almost all opposing views, not the most popular replies or anything similar. You have to scroll a bit to find the sycophants.
Except high blood pressure is a lot easier to measure and there's a lot less subjectivity involved in the decision. Whether or not someone is depressed is nowhere near as easy to measure
> Just check your local firefigting department or police. From local Governments to the President, they use twitter to inform their citizens sometimes exclusively. Meaning there is no other place to go for this information.

I believe federal, state and local institutions have reporting requirements that ensure the information is also publicized on their website or available in paper form upon request. I don’t think it’s legal to put important government info exclusively on Twitter.

Twitter is 1 method of quickly dispensing information, but that information then gets more widely distributed through traditional news networks. For example, I use Twitter almost every day but I never once read Trump’s tweets. I heard about them by watching TV or reading a news article.

When anyone from police to the President need their message heard, they put it on TV.

Also, a town square is for the public to communicate to the public. People seem to use FB, Reddit, Instagram, etc. all for that purpose. I’ll grant that it’s one of many virtual town squares, but it’s not a monopoly, so I think “the de facto town square” is a bit of a stretch.
I find the storyline of the titular Windup Girl is the least interesting part of that (pretty great) novel.

The setting, the Thais, the Contraction, the genetically engineered foodstuffs and plagues, and the story arc of Hock Seng, the Chinese aid of the AgriGen exec, are all more interesting.

I agree the Japanese windup girl is heavily fetishized though. But the Japanese themselves are unimportant in the novel. AgriGen is an American company.

77% of drivers have been in at least one accident. Your chances of getting into a car accident during a 1,000-mile trip are 1 in 366.

The average driver will file an insurance claim for an auto collision once every 17.9 years. This means that if you obtain your driver’s license at age 16, you will likely have a crash by the time you are 34. This means the average person has 3-4 vehicle accidents over the course of their lifetime
Ask HN: Examples of great “wow, this is a pain point” moment?
I recently saw this comment (incidentally while reading Mom Test) and thought wow I would love it if somebody said this about whatever problem I was solving for:

I would avoid doing this at all costs, unless it’s something you’re particularly interested in for some reason.
In my opinion it’s not a job you want to get stuck with, and it’s not a job you want to advertise you can do or you will get stuck with it because no one else wants to do it.

You don't mention your country, and I expect experiences will vary based on location. I will assume US though.

Can heathcare be fixed? Yes. But the first step is in general acknowledgement that it's broken. The message propogated in the US is that the US has the "best health service in the world."[1]

As long as that is the general concensus then what is there to fix? There are alternative systems in the world and some are better than the one in the US. But to improve the US system you first need to acknowledge that.

[1] "best" is a subjective measure, and depends on your goals. Certainly it is the most profitable (aka expensive) health care system in the world, so if you are a health care _provider_ it is by far the best. And if you have enough money to spend you can get great care. So best there as well. Perhaps with national health though there are alternative criteria that could be applied which might lead to different understandings of "best".

Not a musician but earplugs help me sleep. I use the Amazon hearos now and they’re great, 30db reduction iirc, and wear them to concerts. I knew there were custom earphones, didn’t realize there were custom earplugs. The pressure of the hearos tend to give me ear pain sometimes.

Curious on your take about sleeping nightly in these custom sensaphonic earplugs?
Your GP is not some superhuman that clocks out and parks their ass on the computer for 8+ hours every day to research the specific details of the tens or hundreds of treatments available for any given condition they may run into.

The person you're replying to isn't even saying that you should never trust a doctor. They're saying that doctors are not infallible, and that doing some research by yourself and bringing any questions to your doctor might be a good idea. At a pretty fundamental level, that's one of the primary responsibilities of a doctor.

This is the same thing as "trusting science". If you are "trusting science" in the sense that a lot of people are referring to when they say that, you are missing the point!

I sell CIEMs hard when I hear friends and colleagues starting asking about ANC headphones.

Between the superior isolation, lack of need for batteries, longevity, and excellent audio quality, there’s really no contest.

I’ve had a pair of Alclair Audio Quad-driver studio reference CIEMs for nearly 7 years, and other than needing to replace the cable once, they’re as good as new.

If you can afford them, I highly recommend giving a pair a try.

Note: if you live in Minneapolis or Nashville (where Alciair’s offices are), you can go in and they’ll do your impressions for free - no need to visit an audiologist.
But most people don’t want that info; most people want to be entertained, every second of the day. And for that tik tok now wins until the next, even shorter attention span thing pops. Twitter started that by artificially limiting input of course, but people still had to read. Tik tok was obvious really. But people will come up with better ways to put less info into entertaining seconds people will want to watch 24/7; it will be a unicorn again in the coming years and TikTok will be for old people.
Thank you for writing this. I also found some of the OPs claims dubious, but something about the commenters wording really put me off.

Our experience of interviewing & working is a function of the people we interact with and there are both "good" and "bad" people. I have experienced both during my career and i hope, i ( & everyone else) gets to experience more of the "good" ones !
The timeline of web browsers on wikipedia [0] has a good list of browsers. Some notable browsers that are not just copies of Chromium or Firefox:

* Palemoon (Goanna engine, derived from Gecko but forked a while ago)

* Netsurf (Independent engine, mostly good for basic HTML pages)

* Pre-2013 Opera (Proprietary Presto engine, no longer maintained, never open sourced)

* IE11 and before (Proprietary Trident engine, going EOL this year, never open sourced)

* Text/terminal browsers (lynx, w3m, etc, independent but only support text in the terminal)

Of those, Palemoon is probably the only contender as an independent browser with open source code that can support at least parts of the modern web (although the experience is rough, Palemoon was forked when Firefox still ran as a single process, meaning a bad tab can crash the whole browser, and web components don't work).

Yup. Rather build a business for the $$$.
Dilution is mostly a separate problem, and it mostly only becomes relevant if you are one of the few winning businesses, where dilution just controls just how big you win. Dilution often matters more due to founders losing voting control before the business is a success, where founders have lost control of the business due to not controlling the board, amongst other risks. I worked at a business where the founder was ousted, and the investors then drove the valuation of the business down, through their bad decisions (edit: bad from the founders point of view, I don’t know enough about the internal incentives of the investors to know whether losing money was offset by other gains by the investors, although I personally felt that was unlikely).

If you are a founder, or are thinking of becoming one, be extremely wary of anything written by VCs. VCs tend to silently elide or ignore the real problems faced by founders. I suspect this isn’t intentional, but it is just that VCs seem to always talk about everything from their point of view.

For example your link about dilution talks about valuation, but preferred stock also usually has other rights that the diluted common stock (owned by founders or employees) does not have. The difference is critical, yet that article hardly even mentions the issue of common stock rights! https://www.propelx.com/blog/preferred-stock-vs-common-stock... Edit: Your linked article does refer to participating preferred equity and participating liquidation preferences; for a good summary of those see: https://www.startupblog.com/non-participating-vs-participati...
US fighting Russia 'to the last Ukrainian': veteran US diplomat – The Grayzone
I went through mild (and not professionally diagnosed) depression a few years back. No suicidal thoughts, no pit in the stomach, just a complete lack of desire to do anything at all. Crystallized apathy. Before seeing my doctor, I figured I would anticipate his questions: he would ask, "Do you get any exercise?" And I would say, "No, I walk up two flights of stairs and back down those flights of stairs each day and that's about it." And my doctor would say to me, "Get some exercise, and see what happens."

So I got some exercise. I bought a bike and put it on a trainer. I rode a few times. I loved riding my bike when I was young. That helped, a little. I think it helped me take my next step.

I'd been coaching my 9yo son at soccer for a year or so, but I never played soccer myself. So I decided I'd try playing a local soccer pickup game.

That was the trick for me. I don't know why. But suddenly I found motivation. Just enough to play soccer. Once a week, and then twice a week, and then three times, and now as many times a week as I can fit into my schedule. I lost 10#, 20#, 30#, even made it to 40# before the pandemic and found more motivation in other areas of life as well.

Soccer hurts. A lot of games I can barely shuffle through my garage after driving home. I was 39 when I started playing and I'm 41 now. I'm no spring chicken. But the mental and physical engagement of playing soccer, even just pickup soccer, has thoroughly enriched my life.

I have a friend who's a psychiatrist. I talked to him about this. He told me that I correctly anticipated my doctor's response. Exercise is the first line of defense and the first treatment suggested for depression. And it doesn't take much to try it and see if it helps. Your depression sounds worse than mine. Maybe you can walk before you run.

You shouldn't be afraid of the drugs: let the doctors handle that. But if you prefer to try something before drugs, exercise is the clear choice.
I've built (back in the day) a forums search engine that utilized links count to sort results, and it was surprising how useful it was, like it made a usable search engine, not the best but usable, it felt a bit like google and less like forums search functionalities.

What's unique about pagerank is that the next best improvement that will give you as much benefits would be way more complex. So yeah its simplicity is its main merit.

In an age of free SSL/TLS certificates, and built-in support in pretty much anything, is this really true? Making your content available via port 443 really isn't impeding anything at all.
Also a beta user. I wonder if the final version you’ll be able to stay pseudoanonymous - pay with crypto, no email, etc (kinda like Mullvad).

Not defending them and also dislike this (but can’t think of a way involving payments which doesn’t do it). I do find their privacy policy quite clear and transparent - https://kagi.com/privacy

And also let’s not kid ourselves - I would guess this is still likely more privacy-forward than a Private Session on Google. Would be surprised if Google isn’t using every potential signal to fingeprint you and link back that session back to some other login.
This sounds like ssh apps via https://charm.sh
Is plex like stremio? Stremio has torrent plugins which make it function like popcorn time. Absolutely and totally illegal if you use it with a VPN or not! That's why I avoid it.

Just wondering if plex has anything similar so I know to avoid that too.

Also if anyone knows of any other things that could be similar to stremio that I can avoid please let me know. Thanks.

Or jab you with a ricin-laden umbrella. Or put polonium in your tea, and hold a press conference where they say they totally didn't do it, with the periodic table of elements as a backdrop.
I’m using the Fostex with IEMs (non custom) and the carrying case for the fostex is actually smaller than the ones that came with my custom IEMs. You also end up losing the wires so its literally just the two earbuds you need because you technically don’t need the case. So it’s net less equipment to carry.

Did you actually look at the items? All three essentially have you completely remove the wire and attach directly via 2-pin or MMCX, so it ends up just being two ear pieces. Of course it’s no longer hot swappable to 1/8 in physical plug afterwards.
Op says they're depressed. That's enough of a measure to tell if they're depressed.
Exactly. If I hit the powerball, I might as well buy a bunker, get one of those VIP health screenings, etc. The risks may be low, but the relative cost is inconsequential.
Maybe it is the five percent fee (finder's fee or commission) for raising the money. Receiving five percent of a few million dollars isn't a bad day and would make just about anyone proud.
