Why couldn’t the other teams change tires as often?


Ferrari had an exclusive deal with Bridgestone that the other top teams didn't: https://au.motorsport.com/f1/news/the-bridgestone-and-ferrar... # The Bridgestone tire was superior to the Michelin.


They all could, but Ferrari built their car + strategy + drivers' style for multiple fast laps with multiple pit stops as the winning formula. Having just multiple tire changes without the same car, strategy and driver won't have the same results


A single anecdote proved your point?


If that developer bothers to go have their boss pay for it.

I’m not going to subscribe to something that ‘may save my ass someday’, but I would buy it for my arsenal because that someday might be a year and one day from the time of purchase

(Also: Fork has a decent interactive rebase with drag and drop and is a one time purchase. Probably not as slick as this though)


Regulation making you responsible for reckless behavior before you cause an accident.


We have that. Drivers are responsible for the outcomes of their driving with licenses, insurance, a legal framework for operating vehicles, and even uniform enforcement.

What else would you add?

Adding a technical stack will lead to court cases but our current system can accomodate — we already have tons of driving modifying systems in cars and nobody blinks an eye.

The only reason this is even controversial is that it’s third party and not provided by the manufacturer.

I would suggest that we are good! The current regulatory compliance and enforcement system can accommodate this change.


Why bother with drink driving rules if we already have laws against reckless driving?

Is it not fundamentally the same? If not why not?


The biggest question I see is insurance coverage. I could imagine insurers moving to not cover accidents during the use of aftermarket systems like this in the same way they won’t cover incidents during track use and the like.


For what it is


The Walkman ZX300 (appearance of which the M3K copies pretty well :) is by far my favorite player.

Although in a perfect world I'd just have an iPod with a headphone amp as good as the current Walkmans/Fiios.

That said, why is an audio player review from 2018 on the front page? o_O


Unfortunately I don’t think Sony sell the ZX300 series anymore.

They sell the ZX500 series currently, it runs android, is missing USB DAC functionality and has regional volume restrictions which completely gut the potency of the amplifier, and for which there is no known workaround currently as root has not yet been publicly obtained.


I bought and sold a zx500. It basically got rid of everything good about the 300 except for the form factor.


I bought a zx500 because I wanted access to my streaming services, on top of my usual Flac library, because I cannot trust myself not to fiddle around in a web browser on any other machine haha.

The only thing I’m not happy with is the volume limit (I have an EU machine). It doesn’t leave me any headroom on insensitive planar magnetic headphones like Fostex T50’s and Dan Clark Aeon’s. Worse than that, they limit the 4.4mm output to the same power output as the 3.5mm and have removed high/low gain completely in software in these systems


Wow, the ZX300 has a $700 list price.

> why is an audio player review from 2018 on the front page

It's the newest audio player with support for Rockbox firmware and FLAC. Pointers to better alternatives with Rockbox support would be appreciated.


It’s been out a while, You can get them used below 300.


The loudness war was not about making music audible over road noise


I didn't say it was for "road noise". Car stereos was one of the popular places for listening CDs at the height of loudness war.

> So the recording and mastering engineers began to produce recordings with limited dynamic range that would sound "better" on iPods and car stereos that are used in areas with more ambient noise than a quiet listening room. [1]

> Today, many people listen to music primarily in the car or other noisy places, where louder music cuts through against the background noise. Record companies, especially today, tend to cater to this market of casual, “on-the-go” listeners and make heavy use of compression and limiting in order to make their album louder. [2]

Yeah, that's just as bad as the Max.

Japanese sentences are usually shorter than the english translation.


For paid translations, English likes to charge by the word, whereas Japanese charges by the character. The rule of thumb for conversion is 2 JP characters --> 1 English word i.e. translating a 1000 character JP document you'll expect about 500 EN words at the end.


I speak Mandarin Chinese. They are kind of similar.
