My $350 sony headphones regularly have trouble connecting to my macbook. While speaking, about once every 10 hours of use, I sound like a robot and have to power cycle them to make the mic work correctly.

If they're connected to my android phone while also connected to any other device (dual connection is a feature they tout), they play a tick sound every minute like a terrible metronome.

I'm incredibly sympathetic to Apple deciding everything about bluetooth is hot garbage and building an alternative for audio.
lets put tons of very dirty fuel on boat and drive it past somalia where pirates and criminals can actually make use of said fuel. And in meantime lets just burn it while the boat floats
Yup. And the hate and negative backlash is still here - I'm not kidding, my wife can NOT hear U2 without a visceral reaction! It followed her through like 3 cars, until she finally married a guy nerdy and persistent enough :-D
If you use Apple Music, it has the additional benefit of wasting all of your data and battery every time you turn your car on since it streams your entire library on shuffle.

I thought I was clever and could fix this problem by using the iPhone’s “Shortcuts” app “Automation” feature to pause after connecting to the car’s Bluetooth. But for some reason the thing called “automation” requires manual fucking interaction every time. Yes, that’s right you have to click on a prompt to run the “automation” shortcut.

Turns out it’s a limitation of the “on connect to Bluetooth” trigger for “security” yet this isn’t explained anywhere. Because if someone stole my phone and car they might be able to... pause the music? Thanks Apple.
That with Bluetooth.

It's here: https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/blind-chance

Unfortunately, it does not appear to have English subtitles on this site according to the icons (I cannot create an account to check at the moment). It does look like you can rent the film with subtitles quite cheaply from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Chance-English-Subtitled-Bogusl...
The pain and frustration from using a phone is enough to beat my laziness and actually make me just walk to a computer for most anything apart from mindless scrolling/consuming. Looking for food and need to use actual websites or order from one? Just get up and save yourself the frustration.

Part of the regulation appears to require third-party apps to have the ability to use any APIs. Therefore, any malicious app will be able to present system dialogs that are (possibly) indistinguishable from official OS dialogs. This seems bad.
It's worth noting that Android already allows such things and there has been no malware apocalypse. In all the years Android existed I've never encountered someone with a malware filled phone. People stick with the default app store and are fine.

Agree about the EU though.
It's in the legislation included in the link (https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-17-2022-INI...). Page 129, for example, details the rules for app and app store installation:

>The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shall, where applicable, not prevent the downloaded third-party software applications or software application stores from prompting end users to decide whether they want to set that downloaded software application or software application store as their default. The gatekeeper shall technically enable end users who decide to set that downloaded software application or software application store as their default to carry out that change easily.
Do you have any proof for that? That's a big claim to make without any proof.
FYI Tom Lord was indeed an official of the city of Berkeley, having been appointed to certain boards and commissions, from which he eventually had to be removed for violating the Brown Act and making various outbursts.

The reason it makes sense to discuss this aspect of his life is the article isn’t in some neutral news outlet, it is in the mouthpiece of the population-controlling degrowth philosophy that Lord advocated. He sincerely believed that building housing in Berkeley encourages population growth and that not building it could control the population. In this way he was a kind of useful idiot for the real estate investors who control the city.
We're not building that society. We're living in that society.

I don't understand how people didn't realize this over the last couple of years.

We are not qualified to have opinions on a lot of things we do have opinions on.
So Dept. of Health and Human Services has probably the best data you're gonna get here, and I do additionally have hard data on contested custody vs. contested child support, but it's no worries. Agree to disagree.
Another significant point: Gatekeepers also must allow uninstalling their bloatware software.
EU always starts slowly, often with inadequate policies and regulations. But there is constant grind and improvement.

Take for example carbon pricing. It started long time ago, was not good enough. There was gradually tightening and now it finally starts having some teeth and more is coming.
My favorite c++ IDE so far. It is better than vscode because vscode is just too slow for any serious c++ development. It is also better than CLion because it's more flexible in terms of what to be indexed. I sitll use vscode alongside it, but only for very light editing, or modifying config xml etc.
Well they did a really good job then, because the physical product in my hands is well made and functional.
They definitely should add Tamagochi functionality to that!
The 2nd amendment says: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." [0]

My understanding is that it is up to the courts (ultimately the US Supreme Court) to interpret the Constitution, and define things like "Arms", "security", etc..

> I can’t own a nuclear weapon

Careful what you wish for. If personal nuclear weapons ever become a thing, they too may be "Arms" "necessary to the security of a free State". It is hard to understand some rulings of the Supreme Court.

At the time of writing the 2nd Amendment (December 15, 1791), the accepted "Arm" was a musket, with a muzzle velocity between 1425 fps (434 m/s) and 1700 fps (518 m/s) with a ¾” (19.05 mm) diameter ball (. 640 caliber), and an approximate weight of .9 oz (25.5 g) [1]. Today the court accepts that an ArmaLite AR-15 is an "Arm", with a muzzle velocity of 3,300 ft/s (1,006 m/s) using a .223 Remington cartridge with a 55 g FMJ bullet [2].

The momentum of the AR-15 round is therefore approx 55,330 gm/s compared to 13,209 gm/s for the musket ball (ie more than 4 times greater). Too many American shooters make the mistake of thinking these modern "lightweight" weapons translate into less lethality, but it is the increased momentum from higher muzzle velocities that does the devastating damage to soft tissue and bone.

Take a look at the X-ray of a leg showing a bullet wound delivered by an assault rifle used in combat compared to an X-ray of a leg that sustained a bullet wound from a low-energy bullet, inflicted by a weapon like a handgun in Philadelphia. [3]. The trauma surgeons of the 19 children killed in the Robb Elementary massacre reported "They were so pulverized, he said, that they could be identified only by their clothing." [4]

Facebook in the EU should be regulated by the EU, not Apple. The EU should not be delegating this regulation to an American corporation.
At some point Americans have to realize that this unwarranted hostility towards China, Russia and India will bite them back. It's already biting the lower and middle class back and this is most likely the beginning of the end of American empire led by a senile demented dude.

Love always trumps hate but the arms industry of US will keep pushing for arms inside and outside of US at all times even if the people being murdered are it's own kids.
For larger companies: if you have active customers around the clock, have employees around the world, so engineers are never on-call outside their normal working hours. I guess that's much easier said than done, since having employees in different countries might be complex and expensive (maybe HR outsourcing companies like Trinet solve this for you?) and you have to manage employees in time zones that are offset from leadership.
Bluetooth barely has the bandwidth for stereo audio to begin with. Doubling it up means ok-ish mono audio for each of you, or really crummy stereo.
I had an issue with the MBP 2017 model and had a positive outcome.

I had issues with the Keyboard and Bluetooth (mouse, AirPods, and AirPods pro) and one speaker.

After a couple of years, I used the Apple keyboard replacement recall for free. They replaced pretty much almost the whole laptop and kept the bottom cover. The new one has been working flawlessly.

My trade-in value is $300.
Phones exist that have both waterproofing and a headphone jack. I’m sure it’s a challenge, but it’s not technically an either or decision.

No, that's not the point. The Air is intentionally gimped by inefficient thermal management so people who want better performance have to buy a Pro. Apple could make the Air performs close to the entry level MacBook Pro but doesn't because that's how they segment. They have been quite good at introducing products which can compete on price while protecting their higher margin sales.

It's a very common practice for Apple. In the same way their laptop and tablet offerings have been converging for years from a technical point of view but they intentionally limit what the tablet can do so has to not cannibalise their laptop sales.
That's fantastic. Since Go has gone all-in on static compiling, it'd be awesome if they made it possible to update a dependency without recompiling (or even having the source code for) the rest of the program.

In addition to making it easier to do security updates in situations like log4j, it'd also make it easy to comply with LGPL license terms.
Independent writers are turning to AI
If you know anything about music production, you'd know it's a very valid critique. Not sure why you took it so personally, though.
Arch Enemy’s “Aces High” cover-song autoplayed one too many times at too-high a volume first thing in the morning while preparing to drive to work. I eventually cleared out my Apple Music songs and much more calmly welcome whatever pop station my wife leaves the radio on instead when I start my car.
"This woke me up last night, but it could have been something that didn't need escalation outside of business hours."

"This woke me up last night and had I snoozed for 5 more minutes it could have been catastrophic, let's get some more proactive monitoring in place."

"This woke me up last night and it was triggered by bad user input, we shouldn't get alerted on this but more importantly, we shouldn't allow users to submit this crap."

Very rarely do I encounter alerts that are traced back to some deep architectural flaw that requires me to tango with a product manager and their roadmap.

Often times, our team escalates to the engineering lead in question and a small bug fix is slipped into the next release.
Even before that, there was the JSON.org "do no evil" license.
I haven’t seen any. Care to link some?
Do you have any source for this? A cursory search brings up nothing for me.
You're envisaging something like a medical or banking app that is intentionally not on the App Store, but instead requires you to use some other installer?

I guess that's possible, but seems a bit unlikely -- it's just a pretty big barrier to entry for your users.

Android technically allows this already, but how many major apps are not on the Play Store? (Apart from Samsung apps, which is slightly different case as their store is preloaded when you buy the phone. But there won't be a Samsung iOS phone any time soon.)
Sure, and the Civic Type-R has a 0.8 second faster 0-60 than an SR+ M3 while weighing 550 lbs less and beats the Model 3 Performance at Nurburgring by over a minute while weighing over 1000 lbs less. All while having a $10k-20k lower MSRP. the Type-R is only 15 seconds behind a model S plaid at nurburgring which is more than 50% heavier.

But beyond that, if the only thing you ever try to compare is 0-60 performance then EVs always have an upper hand because it is one of their primary strengths, and that's great! But cars are much, much more than their 0-60 (as evidenced by a fwd car with a 5.0s trouncing an awd car with 3.1s on the track) and for many people TCO, utility, creature comforts, reliability, etc. are more important comparisons.
And yet, Apple can still charge software companies whatever they want to allow software to run on the phones. Nothing says anything about the business elements of these user experiences. So if anyone thinks this law is going to take money from gatekeepers and put it into the pockets of app publishers they are kidding themselves
My thoughts exactly. Sacrificing health, relationships and my own life to bump someones liquidity event check seems like a bad deal. I can care about a lot of things, but without sacrificing for someone else's cause.

Workaholism is not an answer to the lack of personal goals or meaning in life. Its just distraction.

Are you saying he busted him up?
The beauty of Bootstrap is in the name. Need to get something up and running? And not look like a design-blind (BE) engineer built it? That's Bootstraps sweet spot. Mind you, it gets used for quite a bit more, but ultimately that was the intent.

If that's what you need, use it. Then, later, replace it. But in the shortterm it's about having one less thing (i.e., FE) to worry about.

fwiw, the same still applies to jQuery. Perhaps not THE long term answer. But in the MVP short term it can make sense.
Surgeons have a lot more leeway in their methods. They don't have to sign a consent form or contract for each incision they make, so the comparison isn't apt.

Even if pharmaceutical licensing isn't an issue for you, pharmaceutical supply will be as it must go through the FDA.
Flexibility and efficiency are often at odds.

Fixed route service is FAR more efficient than any sort of micro transit service can ever be, unless we are looking at areas with very low demand.

The most efficient algorithm is always going to be having people gather in one spot to be picked up and dropped off rather than driving all over to different points.
That's an ironic take given that these rules are there to take away monopoly power and have an actual open market.
You may be able to do this with the Ubertooth One but I don’t think it supports all Bluetooth versions so double check first

I wonder why its "all the money" not some portion of it. I mean if you make a documentary with historic footage, you have to clear (pay to use) each piece of footage you use. If you use a clip it doesn't mean they own your documentary.
Hmm that’s a shame, I would definitely jump on board if it was possible to do so.
Yessss!!! There is no best one-size-for-all solution for transportation, we need lots of different methods to select the best methods for the situation. Scooters, [e-]bikes, vans, trolleys, buses, subways, trains, funiculars. (And more that have yet to be invented; personally I hope for rentable e-assist pedi-cabs to take cargo like groceries home in cities without the need for a 2-ton+ vehicle)

I think this van service combined with an "Uber Pool" model enables highly efficient trips that can supplement mass-transit. Within the planning of bus routes, there are always routes that will take a lot longer or require transfers, but are rarely taken; vans that can "go anywhere" would fill those gaps, without the need for profit-making (and without the discrimination and exploitation of taxis).

From the article, here's why van supplementation can work: "For $1.6 million, we're providing well over twice as many trips and covering 100 percent of the city with a system that picks you up within 15 to 20 minutes of your request, versus a bus that was only running once an hour." It's more expensive [to the city] but it provides much greater mobility and time-saving for citizens.

When you're a single mom and groceries are an hour ride one-way, and the bus only comes once an hour, and you work late, just getting food is a nightmare that takes 3+ hours at the end of a long day. Because of that, she may have to spend $25-50 on taxis (many grocery stores aren't open late), which further reduces her already stretched income. Supplemental transportation methods can solve this problem and transform quality of life for disadvantaged people in society.
Rise of Subscription Sleepers
Presumably you didn't live through the EU vs MS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Corp._v._Commission

That was the unbundling of Internet Explorer from PCs.

Which in hindsight looks like small beers compared to Chrome on-every-device usage, and probably why MS are getting away with it, again, bundling Edge and crippling Firefox workarounds.
Honeypot for what though?
I also like Unpoly very much.

I'm using it for a new frontend right now. Combined with a thoughtful CSS design like CUBE[1] that utilizes components but also leverages utilities to reduce CSS bloat I am writing mostly Ruby and HTML and very little JS and CSS and it feels great.

It's kind of back to the basics which means that I also do not worry about being on some framework's upgrade & dependency train or the mental health of future application developers/maintainers.

I'm in a wedding soon where the groom basically sent all the groomsmen a kind of odd message saying here is what you are responsible for doing. I think it was intended as being kind of funny but none of us know each other and this isnt someone I'm exceptionally close with anymore.

It feels like I just got signed up to do work. I could see how this could easily be a job.
> nobody wanted to be the first person to leave the office, even on Friday.

This doesn't sound like a healthy symptom of a positive workplace culture. I guarantee that for some people, this perspective could be flipped on its head, and rephrased as a fear of being seen as the first person to leave. Other parts of the article reaffirm that, e.g.:

> My heart would beat out of my chest before heading into an exec review.

> Once, my manager asked me to reconsider the vacation I had been planning because my team needed me. “If you go, who will cover your work?”

If this is what gets your juices flowing right now, good for you. But personally? I work hard, hard enough to justify a vacation without the accompanying guilt trip, and with sufficient diligence to make a difference and explain my decisions to leadership. Then I go home.
Interesting; is there some connection between waterproofing and 3.5mm I'm missing?

There's plenty of phones and devices waterproofed to any given standard with 3.5mm. To my ignorant mind, a USB C or Lightning port is not fundamentally different exposure / difficulty than 3.5mm when it comes to this - this is far from my area of expertise, but a cursory google search, and plentiful of counter-examples, indicates this is just a post-hoc justification for Apple's removal, not a real critical path.

Understanding that "if you need something, get an adapter / live the dongle life" is the core Apple philosophy, and agreeing that most standards should eventually die (parallel port, Firewire, etc), 3.5mm still seems a uniquely standardized, useful, and time proof feature that's is sorely missed with no adequate replacement (dongle, of course, is not it, for many reasons - expense, inconvenience, losing them, and if you want to charge your phone while being on a call things get very wonky very quickly - does Apple even offer a 1st-party solution for this common office-worker use-case?)
Unfortunately, deleting Music app turns off iPod integration, and now I’m unable to use other media players on my car over USB
Ginsberg's Theorem
Not yet, but they need to know who the employees are, first.

In their filing against Glassdoor, they declared their intent to sue the employees.

The judge's order only permits them to use the information for the purpose of pursuing defamation actions in New Zealand:

> 5. Zuru may use the information disclosed by Glassdoor only for purposes of the anticipated defamation action in New Zealand.

I thought Log4j 1.1 was vulnerable, just to a lesser extent, and there wasn't a lot of information on it because 1.x is end of life
Someone mentioned Spolsky's book that did just that here on Hackernews -- and was met with whinging about how "crass" it is to reproduce and sell people's blog posts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32110064

Personally, like you, I think this would be a neat service and can see the value in it -- but should you decide to make this your business, be aware that it will probably not be universally well received.
No, the main criticism of DoT is that it's trivial for network operators to block, because it runs on its own port. The entire reason DoH exists is to get past middleboxes.
Well, for me there's no real need to try and divine it from some rough and ready study. I already know that the vaccines drive this because so many of my girlfriend's social groups reported disrupted cycles immediately after taking the shots, and for some the doctors said specifically it seemed to be vaccine caused. Seemed for them actually mostly that the periods vanished, rather than unexpected bleeding.
It's going to cost a lot more than $10m or you're going to have to start a lot simpler. This year, Tower Semiconductor (soon to be part of Intel) has proposed spending $3b on joint venture fab in India that will produce 65nm chips which was cutting edge 17 years ago. TSMC's Japanese plant is $9b for 28nm which is 10 years old.
How do you have a physical product when they’re only taking pre-orders?
Same, actually. I've seen enough iPhones in the hands of friends and family to be envious of some of the features, but I've never wanted to be part of Apple's walled garden. A more open iPhone that I would be free to choose my own apps for if I didn't like Apple's offerings? Yeah I'd try that.
I have been working through the book "1000 Films To See Before You Die" — finding the films on YouTube or Netflix....
I actually provided some cons, unlike OP.
