Could somebody who understands this stuff explain it for me?

I'm pretty sure I've heard of the Southern Ocean before. It also seems a little fishy that this is being heavily promoted by the magazine that (presumably) these 'Nat Geo cartographers' work for.

Is this a PR stunt? Is there an official body that classifies oceans?

Edit:

I guess this bit of the article explains it. There is no new ocean, it's been recognised for a while.

"'The Southern Ocean has long been recognized by scientists, but because there was never agreement internationally, we never officially recognized it,' says National Geographic Society Geographer Alex Tait. "

I hadn't even thought of tab tiling as a feature I might need until now. Just took a look and seems incredibly useful!

I remember trying that with an old account a few years ago (suggesting your solution of just hiding the username) and was denied. Maybe things have changed since then though.

Have a scan through the homepage. I often find the same few people posting broad questions over and over again to generate engagement. On top of that I feel most of the article titles tend to be click bait. I have come across one or two really good articles but they are very much the exception.

A US company can be compliant. They just have to host EU user data in the EU.

The latest version of iOS/HomeKit has 'adaptive lighting'. You select that colour option and it will modify the temperature automatically throughout the day. You have very little manual control over it but sounds like what you might be looking for.

A fair opinion to have. I feel every HN thread on crypto now though dissolves to negativity (without any substance) + toxicity really quickly.

As someone with no real opinion on crypto the arrogant stupidity of the anti-crypto crowd (really prevalent on HN) is also quite tiring.

NB: Apple Maps also has a dedicated Mac app.

They aren’t marketing it to AirPods. They’re marketing the spatial audio for the AirPods. They even call out that for the highest quality lossless you need a DAC.

Some sort of computerised/automated conversion process would be awful given the mix has such an important artistic role in the song.

Maybe, in the same way we've seen artists go back and remaster entire collections, we will see them do something similar for atoms?

Wouldn't that also apply to mono v stereo? I would guess that if you had one earphone in, they would fallback to a mono/stereo mix. It kinda works like that currently with AirPods. If you take out one, instead of only getting one channel through the remaining AirPod, you get both channels diverted to the one AirPod.

With the AirPods + Apple TV content spatial audio makes it sound like the audio is coming through more than just the two channels. It's much more natural sounding that stereo in headphones.
