Not any further off than it's been from the beginning, I don't think. At least, not so far.

Well, ".ee" is the country TLD for Estonia. Doesn't guarantee it's hosted there, though, and I have no idea what the rules for .ee domain names are (whether they're restricted to residents or not). My guess would be "hosted somewhere in Europe".

Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, dude.

The problem is not the hypothesis, the problem is that it isn't really presented as a hypothesis. Reporting on the results before doing the experiment isn't the way to go.

Our theories of how the world works are necessarily incomplete, and experiments turn up things that overturn scientific understanding often enough. The way this is set up matches a common pattern of vilifying tech without seeing whether it's deserved or not. Maybe not wearing a noise cancellation headset would, in fact, help this patient, but until that's tested and found out to be true, reporting on it is just spreading FUD.

If it's a high-pitched hum, they may genuinely be unable to hear it. It's common for people to lose their hearing in very high registers quickly as they age (like, most teens still hear them, but thirty-somethings mostly don't). Without noticing, since it doesn't impede day-to-day communication.

And I should care about Torontonians' traffic problems when transport outside the major cities is such a shitshow . . . why, exactly?

The cause of Sophie's APD diagnosis is unknown, but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.

Other audiologists agree, saying more research is needed into the potential effects of their prolonged use.

That looks to me like, "audiologists have no bloody clue where this issue is coming from, and are therefore throwing shit at the wall in the hope that something will stick."

The article isn't entirely clear. I get the impression that the person in question may have been the sole maintainer for some hardware-agnostic parts of the wireless stack (which I'd expect to only need active development when a new standard gets greenlighted; should be bugfixes the rest of the time), co-maintainer of the drivers for some atheros chipsets, and the general oversight/coordination guy, but there are other developers working on specific drivers.

It's the kid second from the right, beside the space mercenary type, who's the most jarring—looks like someone plonked a 3D model into the middle of a 2D cel. I think they might have gotten away with the other four if that one wasn't there.

Fair enough. I didn't actually read the article.

Also make sure that your gas meter (if you have one) is accessible. If the gas needs to be shut off in an emergency, that's where they do it from.

Pretty sure the flip isn't unprecedented, although coming out of it with a mostly intact fuselage, no deaths, and no plane-gutting fire might be. I'd guess that the plane had already shed a fair amount of speed as part of the landing process.
