> same battery life

The Kindle battery last for 1-2 months (book reading, it only consumes energy if you turn the page -> e-ink display!).

The iPad battery last for 1-7 days, depening what you do with it and how bright you set the IPS display.

Many own both an iPad as well as a Kindle - both have their advantages.

(edit: I meant WiFi-only Kindle)
What is the best solution here?
This is excellent, I will add my project soon.

Just a small idea: add section with projects which offer rewards for contributors. That should cover:

* users who will pay for bugfixing

* some sort of small rewards such as bug contests

* scholarship (Google Summer of Code | etc...)

* non financial rewards such as conference passes
I recently built a DeskCade (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985705009/piplay-deskc...). The plans are now released under a CC license. It's super easy to build if you have access to a laser cutter!
On the software side, there are even at least four Linux distributions to choose from (PiPlay, RetroPie, Recalbox and Lakka).

Here's the BoM (most components were sourced from AliExpress):

* 30€ for the joystick, 10 buttons, a USB adapter and cables

* 20€ for a 7inch 800x480 LCD panel with display controller

* 10€ for the 6mm plywood for laser cutting

* 8€ for two 3W speakers and a small 2x 3W amplifier

* A Rasberry Pi (you probably already have one, right?)

All in all, around 70€ (US$ 77) if you already have a Raspberry Pi. If not, it will even work with the new cheap Raspberry Pi Zero (add a USB audio interface if your display controller doesn't support audio via HDMI).
I agree that we shouldn't need Uber, but when municipalities all over the world cap individual transportation supply for no reason whatsoever, I'm happy that there's a megacorp calling them out on their crap.
Surprise! Much of CES news is vaporware asymptotically approaching the market. The Verge even says "We've seen this before, but it's still super cool" - so then it's not news.

And as to the other commenter's suggestion to watch a playthrough, I know that's a hot-button issue for some people, but I do feel like it is a legitimate way to consume some story-based games. While I did purchase this game, I wound up watching a YouTuber play through it rather than play it myself. I can honestly say that if the "Let's Play" option were not available to me, I would not have retained enough interest in the game to have played it at all.

Whilst sipping a tasty brazilian coffee there's a little irony in me checking back on this comment to back up my critique on coffee.

(Gonna lump all my responses to the various comments here, so apologies if I come across as a bit strong.)

Here's what I found regarding motor control:

> There is also some evidence that fine motor control may be impaired as a function of the increase in anxiety

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12204388

From the aforementioned Wikipedia article:

> Caffeine in plants acts as a natural pesticide: it can paralyze and kill predator insects feeding on the plant

Regarding my comment on it being a neurotoxin. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. You're basically ingesting plant insecticide which in turn stimulates the nervous system, causes the adrenals to release adrenaline and causes a heightened alert response as well as many other positive AND negative effects. Hence my remark.

Source: http://brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Health_Edu...

Most of the research I've seen promotes its health benefits in narrow isolation on one particular facet of human physiology. I haven't seen any evidence that could conclusively sway me towards going from 1 cup a day of coffee to say 4-6 which apparently is the amount a lot of people drink.

My own feeling on coffee is that like anything which has pros and cons it should be drunk in moderation.
I guess that's my real problem with them. It's not like the rating goes back to head office who bring in Bob or Kate Taxidriver and ask if they need some training, or how they can help them improve the service, or if they're happy working for Bob&Kate's Taxi Service, it's "your ratings dropped, bye".
They rebranded themselves from Gittip to Gratipay. But that doesn't explain why the weekly volume and active user account declined so drastically. The numbers fell by about 80% in just one week. What would cause that?

Did they lose users because of the rebranding and confusion?

Or did they change the way they calculate the stats after the rebranding?

I click on the wireless icon and click "turn off". It's good that command-line syntax exists, but that doesn't make it the only way, or necessarily the simplest way.

For that matter, some laptop models offer a function key to do the same thing.

So, you're mostly concerned about the security aspect?

The security you get from NAT is accidental (but still useful.) The problem is that it is an ugly hack and greatly restricts the types of applications that you can build on (and for) the Internet.

A good IPv6-capable home router with sane defaults can give you the same level of security as NAT, with much less complexity. You also don't need special NAT logic for applications that aren't simple request-response TCP sessions.

> it's leaking information about my network to the outside world

With sane defaults the only thing leaked is the IP address, which is already public (same as IPv4 with NAT.) Nothing about your internal network needs to be leaked.

In addition, you get a few extra benefits:

- With a /64 per network, it is almost impossible for port scanners to find you (inside a search space of 10^19 addresses.)

- The privacy extensions (which is supported by almost all operating systems) prevent you from IP-address based tracking, by assigning you a temporary address which can change frequently, and using that for external communications. This coupled with ISP-provided dynamic addresses can actually give you better privacy than IPv4.

Disclaimer : I live in Berlin and work in IT.

The benefit that Uber gives me here in Berlin, for me, is really big :

1) Global usage ( I travel a lot around Europe and I can use the same app everywhere, no need to look for a local app )

2) Using app that is potentially / economically better. I certainly expect less bugs than the other apps.

3) All english user interface for every country I go to and pay using the same credit card.

4) Rating drivers

So ... IMHO The big potential of Uber is that it tries to solve the taxi problem everywhere. Just like booking.com for the whole world.

Competitor solution for this problem is MyTaxi. It is popular in Berlin and I also used it in Lisbon last week.
How widespread is this practice?

And why should they be called on this crap? Perhaps a limit on private-hire cars is part of the city's public transport and clean-air initiatives in some cases?

I've thought about it a bit more now, and those are valid reasons, IMHO. Obviously if the cap is there for arbitrary reasons or simply to protect incumbents then that's different.
I've lived in London for 15 years, difference in convenience comparing before Uber and after Uber is light and day. Me and many other Londoners I know will campaign to keep Uber operating at full potential in this city.

I thought that trapping was more like a 'slow branch': slow due to the flush the pipeline but why should the kernel be involved(1)?

I don't want to rate drivers and I think Uber's rating practices are basically evil.

I can see the appeal in the global nature of the app, certainly.
Meet Nick Zieber, from Xpand Group
It seems like there's an assumption in your post and in your fears: unhappiness comes from poverty and a lack of high-demand skills. I think that's a common narrative in America, and I certainly have it somewhat ingrained.

I recently moved to Southeast Asia from America. There's a stark contrast between the two places in terms of economic development and quality of goods. People here aren't any less happy. If anything, they feel happier in the poorer or lower tech places I visit.

I feel like my American education and citizenship grant me so many opportunities compared to most that I meet here. Still, I don't believe we differ in the maximum happiness that we can experience.

This isn't to say wealth and education are unnecessary or bad. I'm just adding my observations to challenge the assumptions that more wealth or education will lead to more happiness, justifying "short" term sacrifices in happiness for a few years.

I think he meant that the decoding latency is 1 cycle, not that per 1 cycle the core can only decode one instruction.

There are still taxis in Europe in 2016 that don't take credit cards? I would have expected the opposite (lots of places don't take cash because of risks etc).

If the taxis in your city don't take credit cards, or you can't book online, or there is no competition, then just petition your local authority to fix it before Uber comes along and "fixes" it.

Why should I pay for services I'm not using?

There aren't any websites that are IPv6-only, and until there are, telling me to vote with my wallet is pointless.
> (by revealing your address)

How is this any different to IPv4? An incoming default deny rule on your firewall offers the same protection as the "accidental" protection that NAT provides, and you can translate/proxy/VPN/whatever-else IPv6 addresses/connections in all the same ways you can with IPv4 in order to disguise the source IPv6 address if you really have a need to.

Heck, if you are worried about security having a /64 allocated means that if you aren't providing incoming services you jump around a huge range if you want to so you don't need to be at the same address now as you were an hour ago (unless you have active TCP streams or similar that have been running that long), and even without moving around if you pick your address within the /64 arbitrarily you aren't going to be found by a port scanner in any amount of time that would make scanning a practical option.

> IPv6 to IPv4 NAT exists but is stateful.

Isn't IPv4 NAT stateful when translating potentially many source addresses? Otherwise how do you reverse the translation when response packets arrive?

A one-to-one mapping shouldn't need to be stateful, but where that is useful most people go with being dual-stacked instead.

>In 2006, Intel released Pentium 4 chips clocked at 3.6 GHz. In 2016 we use quadcore chips where each core is about as fast as that. Yet we're way more powerful today than a mere 4x multiplier, if you measure what we can do. Think of how limited our tools were just a decade ago.

While 2006 Pentium 4 chips might have a 3.6 speed, they were also slower in execution (due to architecture and x86 cruft) than a single 3.5 core today. Factor in much slower RAM at the time and much slower spinning disks and you can see where most of the multiplier comes.

But even at such, I don't see us being "way more powerful" in what we can do today. In raw terms, mainstream CPU development has plateau-ed around 2010 or so, with merely incremental 10%-15% (at best) improvements year over year. In qualitative terms, are we that much advanced? Sure, we've got from HD to 4K (including in our monitors), but it's not like we're solving some totally different problems.

>It seems like we're talking past each other. I was referring to effects that computers have on the world and our daily life, but it sounds like you're referring to total worldwide computation speed, and how it will change over time. If you're saying the rate will slow sigmoidally, similar to the progress in physics, I agree.

Yes, I was taking about advancements in computing as a field (and I think the thread started discussing just this, hence the OP talking about Newton in the comment that started the subthread, etc.), and not in what we can apply existing computing power equipment to.

>But the thesis is that the rate at which the world changes w.r.t the field of computing is unrelated to the total available computation power. Our minds are the bottleneck.

I don't think that the field of computing is of much importance regarding this observation. Our minds are the bottleneck in all kinds of world-changing things (e.g. achieving world peace) -- applications of computers is just another thing that our imagination might limit us.

That said, computational power changes would enable novel technologies that we already can imagine, that can enable far more change into the world that current computers can (not necessarily all for the better, either). Advanced AI is an obvious example. But also more basic, but computing hungry stuff from entertainment to drug research.
16% of home subscribers in Romania are connected to the internet via IPv6, most of them without even knowing it.
This is largely thanks to the massive deployment effort led by the country's biggest provider - RDS.
The connection is a dual-stack one. I've been using this for almost two years and it has worked very well. Most large sites support IPv6 without any hicups.
This is a relevant read on how they did it: http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/resources/case-stud...
Fair enough, I can see why it appeals in your city. In my city (no Uber here) I was able to use an app for a local firm to book a cab at 11.30pm on Christmas day, get an arrival estimate before booking (9 minutes as it happened), track it on a map etc. etc.
The fact that the market will grow an order of magnitude in 2016 is a game changer. What you think about the technology is irrelevant. It's economics. Now the curve can steeply increase over the next decade:

Tell you what, let's make the machine a plain black slab and let software handle everything, including having a software keyboard.

Oh wait, they're doing that already. And the usability sucks.

I'm running i3, not GNOME. I want a damn hardware switch when I need to flick wireless off. I don't want to have to keyboard OR mouse around to do it. You want a plain black slab, go buy one. There's a market for what we want, and ThinkPads shouldn't be that plain black slab. Leave that to Apple.
Convincing people to do things is hard. It may be that dealing with IP address exhaustion requires throwing away the Internet and creating a new Internet, but it must be accepted this is a tremendous ask. Finding a WIIFM[1] can help with that.

For those with knowledge of how window size affects page layout, is there any technical reason for Tor browser not to fuzz with a random +/- 5 pixels while in a single session (say, on every page load)?

> Hooking it into multiple systems would be the technical challenge, the rest seems a solved problem.

There's a massive non-technical challenge as well: getting the companies to cooperate when both sides (the taxi companies and the unified service) would rather cut out the other intermediary, and when both the drivers and the passengers would benefit from fewer intermediaries (lower costs and higher consistency for the passengers, higher percentage of the fare going to the drivers).

> Oh, and some folks (probably mostly Europeans) don't really like the driver-ratings thing. It's an end-run around little things like employment rights. A ratings scheme for the individual taxi companies providing the services perhaps is useful, but not individual driver ratings.

How are driver ratings an employment rights issue? What's wrong, precisely, with recognizing when someone repeatedly does an unacceptably bad job? They're absolutely necessary, and a big part of maintaining consistency and quality. I've almost always had good experiences, but the few times I haven't (e.g. a driver going on a racist tirade), I've been glad to be able to provide a rating, and for that matter receive an actual response from a human. That would do a lot less good if that rating only applied to a taxi company, rather than to a specific driver. Why not give the taxi company enough information to recognize their good and bad drivers?
