I've had one since April. The company, while established in the US, consists of many people who use English as a second language, and who have been under considerable difficulties with being a hardware startup servicing the world market during a pandemic.
Bluetooth experiences will be largely software-dependent. Comparing Airpods on a Macbook to a Windows laptop and some Sony earbuds? It's no contest, Airpods will win every time. If we're, say, testing the Airpods on Windows and the Sony buds on Linux (where they have LDAC support), the tables will be completely turned. All of these headphones are context-sensitive, and will behave differently on different hardware. You're not exactly writing a novel thesis here.

Airpods are still just Bluetooth with an extra chip for NFC pairing. All of the "magic" your Airpods provide are software-based, not part of the actual hardware you're buying. I think Tech Press is totally justified to ignore software that isn't part of the headphones itself.
Both, the side asserting copyright and the side fighting the claim (for separate videos).

Would you happen to have any experience with cases where Google doesn't restore the video/monetization after a counter notification?

Yes, we contacted Google Legal with a letter from our General Counsel after the claimant failed to file a lawsuit asserting its ownership of the disputed content, and the matter was resolved within about a month. Google restored our ability to monetize videos and paid us for the amount held in escrow during the dispute.

Note that, as with all things Google, if you let the customer support system handle your complaint, nothing gets done because the CS dept in India doesn't have the power to do anything. You have to go around the CS system and talk to a person in the department that's actually responsible for your issue. For a legal issue like this, that means reaching out to their Legal department directly.
Grandfathering until the chickens come to roost hasn't helped the vulnerable either, yet that same party largely consists of individuals proposing that solution to the vulnerable.

It's cruel, but that same cruelty is deemed acceptable towards 'have nots'.
The picture it paints is, in fact, alarming. Unfortunately with vaccine studies you can't simply read the last sentences of the abstract and assume that what it says is correct. Vaccine studies simply don't get published if they don't recommend vaccination, which leads to the curious phenomenon of papers that contain data indicating serious problems yet which recommend more shots anyway. You have to discard their advice and just look at the data. This paper is a good case in point.

What does their data actually show? Look at figure 2. It shows smoothly and steadily declining effectiveness that drops below zero. There is no change in the trend near the 9 month mark. How far can effectiveness actually fall? This paper stops looking after 9 months, but we know from UK data that it can in fact keep falling for much longer than that. Before they stopped reporting the numbers measured effectiveness in the UK was around -300%:

Additionally case rates in the boosted were higher than in unvaccinated at that point, i.e. by March 2022 COVID had become a pandemic of the vaccinated. Boosting had helped for such a short period it hardly mattered and then the problem became even worse.

Note that you have to be careful with effectiveness figures reported by public health authorities. Starting with COVID many of them began reporting "adjusted" effectiveness in addition to or entirely instead of case rates, but their adjustment methodology isn't valid.

So this is not vaccine "fear mongering". It's what government's own data shows. That makes it a very real problem that needs serious and immediate research to figure out (a) why this is happening, (b) what if anything can be done about it. The vaccines appear to have backfired and we're very lucky that Omicron is so mild. Unfortunately this will not be admitted to in the media, by governments, and not openly by researchers.
Then why isn't that happening on Android with Google Pay? Banks are able to handle NFC payments through their own apps if they want, but the vast majority support Google Pay and don't force users into their own app.
I'm saying that struggle made me a better, more complete person. It taught me virtues like not wasting time, using money wisely, saving, educating myself, not taking anything for granted, amd ultimately building my own business.

The upsides of struggle don't make as much sense to people who didn't need to struggle. But there are upsides nonetheless, and I would contend that a society without struggle for the individual becomes decadent amd lazy.

That wasn't the reason for this comment, however. It was that when I hear the attitude 'why would anyone want to work for $16/hr', I know I'm talking to someone who doesn't need to work.
I was thinking about that related industry, if that too would make a resurgence in areas and cultures it had faded in many generations ago. I think some places never stopped that industry right?
> I think it basically implies rent of the land.

That's already implied from the existence of land deeds and the enforcement thereof: you're renting a subset of a nation-state's sovereign territory.
Grandma is a millionaire. She can take out a reverse mortgage to pay her taxes and she'll still be a millionaire. Or she can agree to a lien that pays her taxes upon her death or move. We don't need to worry about grandma losing her house.
This produces dramatically worse results in my experience.
I know you're being sarcastic, but this reminded me of Tanya Reilly's _great_ talk "The history of fire escapes: How to fail". There's a recording up at https://www.infoq.com/presentations/history-fire-escapes-res...
So you said fight fire with fire to mean fight fire with something that isn't fire.
Local example of this in action. In Berkeley there were two candidates for District 4 supervisor in 2022: the incumbent, who owns two houses, each worth over $2 million, and the challenger, a renter. The challenger had to withdraw from the race because his rent was increased to a level he can no longer afford.
An effective 2.5% property tax, such as the example given for Chicago, is not high.

Try living in NY, where effective tax is between 3.5% and 5% (mine is 3.8 in the city of Rochester). It’s really hard for people to become homeowners at that rate, especially when the market goes up and an appraiser can show up at any time and re-assess your value and raise your taxes.
The real estate industry is a closed looped system, and because its monopolistic, anti-free market, and dealing with a finite product that simply trades hands its golden age was done after the great expansion of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase and the Mexican Treaties of 1848.

This a foundational industry that pitted the upstate New Yorkers and the agrarian Virginians against Alexander Hamilton at almost every corner of his life in the establishment of free markets disruptions with the Bank of New York and later the Department of Treasury.

Disruption can be seen in vertical markets of big cities and land creation like that of China in the South China Sea with man-made islands and expansion of territorial rights, but outside of that it's golden age is gone and the taxation will only become more intrusive for programs as our populous grows and the need to extract support for the expansion from the adult working class is through taxation.

Hopefully this isn't rambling, but rather insight into how perverse the market has become because of no more land, and way more people.
Instead, I see LVT incentivizing the production and purchase of mobile homes, RVs, and hotels. You could live tax free if you don't have a permanent abode.
> Nobody ever "wanted" to work [...]

Not even remotely true. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say things like "retire? but then what would I do?", or how many people work like their job is the only thing in their lives that means anything. I'm talking about here, on HN, the site you are currently reading.

> They're often avoidable.

Avoidance isn't the goal of mgmt though. Cost minimization is, and by quantizing the compensation portion it can help figure out the cost of a bug. Ultimately the cost of a bug is a key variable in the decision to prevent or solve.

The cost can easily vary from $0 (eg at a startup with no customers) or to millions (maybe billions?) when you consider the risk of brand damage, lost ARR (multiply that ARR by the sales multiple!), decremented velocity (lost opportunity value), and eventually even recruiting cost (to replace frustrated employees).

I've always wanted to work at a JoelTest[1] company which fixes bugs before writing new code... But the closest i've found is a commitment that the oncall engineer works on bugs for their rotation to reduce the bug backlog ( and is not part of sprint velocity)

that aint going to work... if the tax doubles, people will start to revolt. Taxis, Trucks, Van drivers and anyone who either 1) cant afford a new electric car, or 2) cant buy one one for one reason or another (distance they travel, stuff they carry, etc) are going to be very pissed off. And if more people do go an buy electric cars, your still in the same boat...
I keep a cheap set of wired headphones to use when I call people. I've used them when calling tech support on site somewhere. I probably looked dumb in the airpods age, but they work so much better than anything else. I'd use headphones from the $5 store before real airpods.
The nugget of my reply you're moving past concerns automobile-centric planning and its extreme toll on the built environment, and those external costs.

I don't really have time right now but I'm sure you could dive pretty deeply into things like racial prejudices in destroying neighborhoods to build freeways, or in how people who live near busy roads have increased rates of asthma or other health related issues. I really don't have time to do this but I'll leave the convo open for others to jump in if they'd like.

I like buses too but I'm pretty pissed off how short-minded planners were in the early to mid-20th century when they decided to trash some really valuable infra.
I'm not sure what you're saying?
"Americans are not the best negotiators"

There are 300m Americans. They vary widely in their approach to negotiation. Some of the best books about negotiation are by Americans.
> we will have to add storage

This is the problem: with current technology, if you include storage, solar / wind has both the worst prices and externalities.

Replacing storage with load-following (hydro, Geothermal, modern nuclear) is necessary unless we find ways of storage that beat current theoretical limitations
I'm overall pretty happy and have a pretty great job, life, and family. I'm still often hit with waves of despair when I realize housing prices are insane, retirement feels like a joke, and the biggest issues the world is facing seem to be ignored.

It's pretty depressing if you dwell on it for any period of time.
You're maximizing the gap though. People go from doing EE work on some embedded device, to writing software for the same class of device.
Why? If I want a DAW, that has extremely fair licensing conditions, a huge, passionate community, fast and steady, continious development, is highly compatible with the music recording environment and available on all three major platforms, I simply go for "Reaper".

I wouldn't assume malice if this was a small startup of 4-5 Richard Stallmans or maybe 20 years ago.

In this case, I think it IS malice.

> no teardown required here. Developing an empty lot and selling the result will lose you a $1M+ in my town.

Lots of people want to design their own homes. For them, paying up for an empty lot is worth it. Put another way: those buying empty lots are developers or rich. With rates rising, the latter set marginal pricing in desirable places.

So no, there is no teardown required. But a teardown is desirable to some people. They bid up empty lots. Hence the deviance you notice, which is well documented in other places rich people like building designer homes. (Hamptons, Jackson Hole, et cetera.)
“They work fantastically” is a statement that requires many qualifiers.

They work fantastically for some subset of people. For other people, they do nothing. For other people, they have negative side effects that make them not worth whatever benefits they provide. For some people, they cause extreme negative effects when the medication is removed. For some other people, they increase the chance that they will commit suicide.

It does matter that we haven’t pinpointed why they work for some people, because if we did, we might be able to avoid those negative effects and wasted time for the people for which they don’t work.
I used it fine up until lockdowns and work from home stuff. Account was flagged sometime early 21 along with a flood of other users who were initially ignored and then told to fill out a form and hope to get allowed back on.

My AD use was three home computers to either view them (LAN) or to assist my parents with various questions occasionally. Never any server OS used or on the network. No domain controllers, no email servers, heck at the time I didn’t even have any Linux or BSD machines.. physical or virtual. It was baffling and forever soured my view of AD.
For the arts, the possibilities have exploded. You can shoot an entire movie for budgets that are in the budget of individuals/small groups. You can find an audience for your art orders of magnitude bigger than anything you could find then.

Commercially, you can start high tech businesses in your garage that weren't even dreamt of in the 50s.

As for space, we're currently landing rockets on ships. We're actively planning Mars exploration.

The UN still promises global peace. The second half of the 50s had much worse nuclear saber rattling than anything we see right now. The Korean war very much was a high risk of US and USSR clashing directly.

I really think you romanticize the 50s. (I strongly encourage talking to people who lived through the 50s, especially minority groups)

Again, I really want to say "you're completely wrong" here - in terms of GDP growth, the 50s were great. In terms of sharing that growth (as opposed to concentrating wealth in a small group), they were great. BOth of these only apply to white men/families, though. And I deliberately exaggerate the picture in the other direction to show how much this is a question of framing.

And your right, one culture can be happier than another. We know which cultures are happy, and we have a fairly good idea why they are happier. It's on us to change our culture if we want that happiness.

You see this as a dark picture. I see it as a call to action, and the potential to make the world so much better. I don't know what the chances of success are, but I can promise you that seeing the future as malleable and culture as an ongoing project makes life better than focusing exclusively on the darkness.
At least cleaning it up is an embarrassingly parallel problem, so if you had the resources to throw incentives at millions of casual gamers, you might make a nice dent on Clip.

That doesn't seem possible. The benefits of static linking are that unused methods, symbols, etc... can be stripped as well as cross-library optimizations like in-lining. There's not necessarily going to be library lines left at all, at least not in any way that looks anything like upstream. And it's also going to vary from binary to binary, depending on what exactly they used from the dependency.

What you're describing would be more akin to shared linkage just in a single blob. That seems like it'd be a worst-of-both-worlds result.

In a sane world we would be able to tack on a disclaimer saying "This model was trained on data with a majority representation of caucasian males from Western English speaking countries and so results may skew in that direction" and people would read it and think "well, duh" and "hey let's train some more models with more data from around the world" instead of opining about systemic racism and sexism on the internet.
From my perspective of wanting distributed capitalism and good burritos, this could be the start of a great trend. Chipotle can continue to close down stores, and their investment in building out the restaurants and proving the market can be taken over by local ownership that will appropriately appreciate employees and taste buds. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for Chipotle when driving a box truck through the middle of the country and just needing to find something vegetarian, but it's been sad to see their "premium mediocre" food become routine for so many people.

Be a good problem solver. One way or another everything comes down to that. That includes always thinking a solution might exist even when all seems lost.

If Grandpa rents that apartment instead of owning it, he'd if anything stand to benefit (especially if we tax land value specifically and not the building).
It does, but commercial property tends to change ownership and undergo construction more often. Therefore property taxes on commercial property tends to be higher.

As a result, cities have an incentive to build commercial property over residential homes. The result is that the people working in those offices are competing for limited residential space (leading to high prices) and often have to settle for long commutes (leading to gridlock).
Yup, and consider that sales tax applies any time the car is sold, and often cars are sold multiple times in their lives.

> COVID-19 travel restrictions have made it hard to find friends able to travel to weddings, while some couples complain they can’t find friends that are up to the standard.

> A bridesmaid needs to be unmarried, Xie told Sixth Tone on Monday, and it’s important not to be taller than the bride. For aspiring professionals, 155 cm-173 cm is a good height, she said.

> At a wedding, Xie usually pretends to be the bride’s best friend or a classmate. The couple generally cover the travel and accommodation costs. A typical daily rate is between 500 and 2,000 yuan ($74-$296).

So if you are a short woman who has married later than most of your shorter female friends, this is the service for you.

This completely fails to recognize the cost of change at different layers of abstraction. A service is an external facing entity that other teams need to interface with, it would cause an insane amount of churn to try to make changing service names as easy as changing internal class names, let alone local variables.
