Anyone who has used ANC headphones in a noisy environment will know that active noise-cancellation makes a big difference. But Danish company Jabra claims that it’s latest headphones go one better, using AI to tune out specific types of noise … Standard ANC works by using external microphones to detect surrounding sounds.

You might not think a stock outperforming the market and considered to have good future prospects would pose a problem for investors, but Reuters reports that it can prove challenging for fund managers. The issue is that most diversified funds have rules or guidelines that state they shouldn’t hold more than 5-10% of their funds in any one stock. This, fund managers say, can pose three problems. First, there’s the obvious one: they may want to buy more of it than their own rules allow … John Burnham, manager of the $136 million Burnham Fund, says that he has already stretched a point in allowing AAPL to make up more than 15% of the fund, but would ideally like to buy more....

Boy, do people get peeved about a pair of headphones When you tell people you’ve bought a pair of these things, most of them think you’ve lost your mind. I’ll admit that spending $587 with taxes for a pair of headphones made by a consumer electronics company for recreational use – not by a professional audio company for some kind of productive workflow use – sounds completely insane. (Particularly when we’re in the middle of a pandemic and a lot of people can’t pay their bills....

But to leave that lasting impression on his viewers, Tarantino has had to end his each of his movies with the perfect final scene. Whether it’s a swastika being carved in the villain’s forehead or two hitmen quietly leaving a diner in the midst of a robbery, Tarantino always seems to pick the ideal moment to end his films on....

Many companies didn’t believe in it. After all, they had money. Money gave them power. Power gave them the ability to tell others how things were and what to do. They thought that if they told people about their product, those people would listen and, most importantly, believe. I understand it still happens today. Tech companies harangue their PR agencies about their woeful widgets and simply cannot understand why everyone doesn’t want to hear about them or doesn’t believe they’re any good....

As dust settles following the surprise announcement, indications point to an amicable departure and change of pace ahead for the longtime executive....
