All Good Editors Are Pirates: In Memory of Lewis H. Lapham

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-03 21:39:16

This remembrance first appeared in Stranger’s Guide on July 28, 2024. On July 23, 2024, the American essayist and editor Lewis H. Lapham died. Since then several beautiful obituaries have been written about the great man and I won’t attempt to repeat these, though I certainly encourage reading them. Instead I want to focus on a very particular time and place where I worked with Lewis and knew him best—the book-filled offices of his last great project, Lapham’s Quarterly. After a storied tenure

Nothing Headphone 1 Review: Not AirPods Max In the Best Way Possible

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-09-05 23:42:50

2025 What do you want out of a pair of over-ear headphones? No, really. Like, what do you want? I don’t mean that as a challenge; I mean that as a threat. Personal audio is a serious thing, and you need to make a sound choice when you’re picking a device that protects you from the horrors of other people’s talking, other people’s music, or other people, generally speaking. But it’s not that simple. If choosing over-ear headphones were based solely on sound, then we’d be walking around with ugly

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-09-05 23:30:00

Phones kind of look same-y. Headphones don't look that visually different either, whether it's a Sony or a Bose. UK-based tech company, Nothing, took it upon itself to change things up again, giving us a smartphone with a design the likes of which we haven't seen before, and headphones that are sure to turn heads. Today, the company announced the Phone (3), its third-generation flagship smartphone, and the Headphone (1) at an event in London. The smartphone starts at $799 for the 256 GB model,

Nothing’s ‘first true flagship’ phone plays it a little safe

“The Glyph interface is not a gimmick,” Nothing founder and CEO Carl Pei told the press as he revealed the Nothing Phone 3 for the first time, shortly before announcing that its new iteration lets you play Spin the Bottle on the back of the phone. It’s mixed messaging, but in Nothing’s defense, you couldn’t accuse them of making that mistake elsewhere. The Phone 3, we’re told, is Nothing’s “first true flagship phone,” a point the company is keen to hammer home: flagship chip, flagship camera, f

Nothing’s over-ear headphones are all about the buttons

Nothing has launched its first pair of over-ear headphones, imaginatively named the Headphone 1. At $299, these are priced to compete with flagship fare, distinguished primarily by their distinctive Nothing design language — right down to the buttons. While the boxy outline calls to mind Apple’s AirPods Max, the semi-transparent detailing on the outside of each earcup is all Nothing. So are the buttons, all differently shaped, with some you press, some you flick, and some you toggle. They’re me

Nothing's first pair of over-ear headphones has apparently leaked, and it's nearly impossible to assume they could have been designed by any other company.

Apple Should Steal These Galaxy S25 Edge Features for a Thin iPhone
