Bluetooth’s new low-energy audio capabilities will save your battery and let you stream to multiple sources at once. I'll believe it when I hear it. In both ears. At the same time.

It doesn't "fix" your headphones; it makes you throw them away and buy new.
I wonder who sponsored the research.

On the serious side, hearing aid wearers are looking for direct streaming (no external devices) with no latency (big problem for some).
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Just curious: these days, wouldn't a phone and a pair of earbuds be preferable to a hearing aid?
The spectrum and volume controls are more advanced, and there's no stigma involved in wearing earbuds.

If you are only talking on the phone or streaming music to it... maybe. It all depends on the loss. I would need to raise the highs quite a bit without blowing my brains (what is left) out with the lows. If high frequency loss is bad enough, HA's do frequency lowering (some have fancy names for it) to cope. I use my phone app, to select from 4 built in programs (HA programs) and 4 that I created (just mods of the built ins). I can also adjust noise canceling, wind noise, and other stuff. If I need GPS while driving, my phone streams to the aids, helping comprehension greatly.
HA's are getting smarter with, Ta-Da, AI. I think there are a couple that will phone home if you fall down.
HA's are like using your favorite Javascript framework, or Marc's arm floaties. They assist, they don't fix
Edit: I feel no stigma with hearing aids, most people don't even notice them.

So the hearing aids act, more or less, like smart earbuds, with dedicated phone software?
It's nice to see smartphone tech being used for more useful than just facebook and twitter.

Merlin Mann says people took his idea far too literally. More like Inbox 0 +/- n
Where 'n' is whatever you want or need it to be.
|
|
|
|

I thought I knew nothing about inbox zero, so therefore I knew everything about it?
I don't know about that.
One thing that I do know I know (or, at least, I think so) is that I'm not interested in yet another blob of faddish cr@p, so my inbox-interaction-processes will remain unchanged until something actually useful comes along to replace them.

As a previous Exchange server admin I can assure you that zero inbox is a myth.

I use Inbox Ignore. Works perfectly for me.

Over the past few years, as work/life balance has become more of a priority for developers, the notion of a “crunch culture” has been the subject of much discussion. But it is a good chocolate bar
Which I guess could also destroy development teams.

What, working up to 20 hours a day, seven days a week, on a job that requires intense mental application isn't very good for your social life?
How ridiculous is that idea, eh?
Pack of idiots.

But wait! I thought giving names to crap I've been doing for 40 years was gonna fix the software life cycle problems and make it possible to deliver software bug-free, on time, and at/below budget, thus eliminating the "crunch culture".

The Trump administration is proposing new rules to guide future federal regulation of artificial intelligence used in medicine, transportation and other industries. Because if you want something done right - you go to the experts!

Well, it's the easiest thing in the world to get an AI to provide false or distorted information, so we need the biggest experts making policy for it.

As with ISO9001, you may define useless processes, or useful processes. It really depends on the people implementing the rules in their development/production process.

If you’re reading this, you probably know how to upgrade one version of Windows to another. Or just type the commands in manually, if the script seems a bit of overkill

I think there's merit to his thinking.
I mean, if you want a functional, efficient GUI, you don't want windows 10, so making the the installer more functional and efficient should balance things out a little -- yin & yang, y'know?
Or "yin and wtf has this cr@p done to my computer?!?!", maybe.

Behold: the world's first known chosen-prefix collision of widely used hash function. Hopefully affecting no one (as everyone has moved off of SHA1, right? /sigh)
Yeesh - Y2K, SHA1... 2020 is sounding more like 2000 all over again.
