They’re pretty variable depending on your ear shape. For me the pros are the only option since the others fall out immediately (same for mkbhd).

Cool - this must be new? When I owned one they only had some proprietary quality score and how it related to PM2.5 or AQI was not listed.

If convicted, I hope this guy spends a long time in prison - what an incredible ass. As a long time user of ubiquiti devices, I’m glad this was the actual story. It actually makes me feel a lot better since this kind of risk is extremely ha

It doesn’t tell you AQI or PM2.5 so it’s results may be consistent but are fairly useless. I’d be curious what report you saw, last I looked the consistency of the results wasn’t even that great either.

Rumor I heard from someone in the industry is that the patents have expired, but now the original holder pressures the few fabs to refuse work from competitors or get black balled. As a results it’s extremely hard for new people to enter th

With delta and asymptomatic transmission this wasn’t totally the case iirc. Increased viral load in the asymptomatic phase increased virality, but also increased deadliness once the symptoms started. At least that’s what I recall reading. N

> "it will likely help you at that point to be cooperative via guidance from your attorney" guidance from your attorney seems to be the critical bit of that - it's okay to talk, but with your lawyer present.

I blocked that account a long time ago, if their IRL persona is anything like their twitter I doubt this was the only reason they were fired.

Yeah, my long term hope for this stuff is that Urbit succeeds and then a lot of the UX here gets fixed by that and all of these apps become redundant and unnecessary. I'm definitely in the minority there but I think there's a futu

It's in beta, you can enable it in settings. It's still a pain to buy MOB in the US so it's not that usable in the states. It would have been interesting to me if they just used Zcash instead of rolling their own, but I'

In games its give away the game and pay for the skins, characters etc. In music its give away the songs and pay for the merch, shows, access to artist, etc. The market for the latter is huge. The music is the viral hook you can use to take

I think there's a reasonable argument there, but I can understand the model better before the internet (since distribution was way harder and more expensive). The terms were definitely bad for talent because early talent had no leverag

In the old world the business model made sense, it no longer does. Part of what gets distorted by Taylor Swift and Dave Chappelle is the larger context. Similar to VC the vast majority of label supported musicians are economic failures. The

If you reprice equity comp each year then you lose most of the upside. Compare the two following equity plans: Example Year 1: --- PLAN 1 FMV: $1 Strike: $1 Total #: 40k ISOs Vesting: 4yrs --- PLAN 2 FMV: $1 Strike: $1 Total #: 10k ISOs Ves

Their recent 1yr equity periods to screw employees out of upside caused me to lose interest (even though that equity will still likely be very valuable). I really disliked how they tried to spin this as something good for employees. Which i

That's one reason I think Urbit's implementation is cool. The network hierarchy is explicit, but the minimum required in order to to have the maximum decentralization possible that can actually work (automatic lookup of p2p ids, a

I think a lot of 90s web banner ads would disagree. The regular web was pretty scammy back then too and the spam problem is arguably what resulted in a lot of centralization (something urbit IDs fix).
