It's not the removal of add-on that pissed me off, but the lack of proper response on what would be the acceptable resolution. Not using the name would change the meaning as both of these are not general purpose ad blockers. Had they replied saying "for <their name>" is ok, I wouldn't have removed it. At least they could have replied with a flat 'No' to make things clear.
I combine this method with a LiveScribe Echo smartpen (Sky edition). This allows me to backup my notes via wireless but also keeps the human pen + paper touch to the notes.

I feel as though I remember things a lot better when I write them down versus typing.

I originally picked up one of these pens for college and it helped a ton with staying on track in class and always having a backup of the lecture that sync'd in an animation to my notes (so i could either play the notes back, or tap at a location and begin playing back from that point).

They have various versions but I would only recommend the Echo or the Sky - the version 3 in my experience only connected to the mobile apps, so on windows/mac you were not able to view your notes (very annoying). However the Sky (Echo with wifi sync) and Echo allowed me to sync the notes to a desktop app which allowed me to export pdf's. I hope they open up PC support for the 3 but after two or so years it looks as though they will never add that as a usable platform.
I admit I'm one of the few that very much liked the Windows 8 design language approach of readable columns scrolling off infinitely horizontally. I thought that was a good design path. Screens don't have to scroll vertically.

They are being too timid in their thinking and designs. All they need is the driverless "engine cab" and then a transformer-like packing of drones to form the rest of the vehicle. It arrives in the neighborhood of delivery and then all the drones take off, deliver, they return, and reassemble into the driverless delivery truck.
Then charge $500. Whatever it needs to cost, charge it.
My company, Spire, is doing fundamentally the same type of tracking as is described here, except for ships using AIS. By building a constellation of satellites with different orbits, and using a network of groundstations, you can achieve near-real time data. These would be no exception, it's just a matter of scaling up from one to n satellites and having the coverage of a groundstation network to support them.
That's not true at all. 3UK had one of the world's first operational 3G services.

4G LTE rollout in the UK was and is painfully slow. The only good thing was that a lot of networks had very good coverage of HSPA+ and DC-HSPDA which is pretty close to LTE responsiveness in day to day use.

First I thought you were trolling. A good one.
> You can't write a virtual machine with 20 GB of memory running on a real machine with only 10. Simulation isn't magic.

You can, and it will work as long as the memory of the virtual machine can be compressed to less than 10 GB.

Programs compiled to run on current amd64 CPUs have access to 2^48 bits of virtual memory, yet they run on real machines with much much less real memory.

Hey, look, most of the space out there is a vacuum! Gravity may be the hashing/pre-compressor function the simulation we are living in. ;)
As long as not all the memory is actually used, you can pretend that there is 20GB though. Once you actually need to map more than there is, you would need to stop the virtual machine.

If you read e.g. the Bostrom 2003 paper, you will see that this is more or less what they claim: If your simulation technique is good enough, you can just fake most of the universe and only actually perform fine-grained simulations where it matters. This would e.g. assume that you have special simulation rules for brains, large scale chemical reactions etc., which allows you to just skip most of the details and make them up once you need them. You could even automatically detect whether your simulation is fine grained enough by running the same simulation at two different granularities at the same time, readjusting whenever the outcome between the two differs too much.

I think the argument in its original form does not make too much sense (future humans simulating todays humans for research and fun). What you would probably simulate much more, are human-like entities in a much simpler universe (e.g. no weird quantum-mechanics that are really hard to simulate).

So in my opinion, you could take away from the simulation argument that there is a non-zero chance that we are living in a simulation. But the computer that performs the simulation most probably lives in a universe that does not follow the same rules our universe does. It might be a universe with two or more time-like dimensions. It might be one where quantum mechanics are just super-easy to simulate for some reason (maybe in the same way it would be really easy to e.g. build Conways game of life in transistor hardware for us).

Not OP, but I moved all of my email from free Gmail to paid Fastmail about 2 years ago, and I've not had a moment of regret.

I send quite a lot of email for work and other things and I have what I think is a higher-than-average number of email addresses to manage.

One adjustment I made - I now archive older emails to avoid extra storage costs, which in turn means that searching for older emails is slightly more hassle.

Fastmail's web interface and mobile app are not quite as slick (as gmail) but this isn't a big deal for me personally.

The difference is that Apple's support in general (everyone drops the ball occasionally) is very good. Millions of people out there with iPhones, but they can always get support for them if they need it.
I'm confident you're making a joke but there's nothing to say that a simulation couldn't spawn a 13.8 billion year old universe that has only actually existed for a second.

And any downtime is likely to be invisible to anyone inside the simulation. Even a catastrophe could have the simulators restoring from tape and putting things back the way they were while we files are none the wiser.
I guess that one could regard that as the counterpart to the odd Hanzi tattoos Americans get without having the slightest idea of whether they are done right.

Good point. However it's different. There were billions of molecules to evolve to life. But a single molecule can't evolve to life. Of course this argument is hyperbolic but you know...
Actually for my personal todos I just use a page of paper. I don't carry it around but sometimes I copy some tasks on a paper snippet and put it into my pocket. The very nice thing about the paper list is that it has a limit. So I don't end up having more todos than I can handle.

However for work I like Asana. Paper would be too impractical...
You would be surprised. My friend is currently living in Moshi, Tanzania. It's true that almost all cars being bought are second hand, but they are a lot more expensive than you would imagine. She recently bought a very used Rav4 for 10k Euro. Not saying that someone will pay the 15000 Euro for this truck, but it isn't dirt cheap to purchase a car in Africa(I thought the same thing before).
I am not surprised that Google took this down when reported for copyright/IP violation (whether true or made up) and that emails from a relatively small project are only getting canned responses (I wish it were different, but realistically Google is not going to change). I think the only way to change this is to get advocacy online to get noticed. And as someone else said, if you build plugins for a company-managed software, you are at their mercy WRT to disabling it at any time (the same is true for a community-based software as well, but the process is usually transparent and more aligned with users and developers needs -- no blanket "because copyright" rejections).
Yes, thanks. Somebody mentioned it here before, looks good.

> Ah I see, so serverless service is a way to say "I am so high up higher than your puny little cloud down there".

I don't believe there's any judgement in "serverless service". Depending on your requirements you may want this solution or you may prefer something else. It got a name, because when you get tired of saying "model more abstract than PAAS but based on the same principles of being independent of the infrastructure" you invent a short name - servers got abstracted, so it's "serverless".

> its just funny how our industry invents new words every year or so, it gets hard to keep uptodate.

The industry doesn't invent words. It invents new solutions. If they get popular they get names, so it's easier to communicate. That's how every industry works.

That's a good point, but it also seems strongly correlated with those that run ad/privacy blockers. (Even with such a blocker, perhaps the data collected is still valuable, though?) My instinct is that by selling an ad and tracking-free site, they would be indicating that the ads and tracking are a bad thing, as opposed to the party line that it's all "to deliver better services to you".

The first two from above don't apply because I am a solo founder in an unfunded, yet to be launched stage.

For number three, I think the best way to foster diversity is to practice it. That way it's not empty words, or a checklist item that can be discarded or ignored. By practicing it, I mean value people, value their perspectives and make a conscious decision to include the people and their ideas in your understanding of the company. I think this is difficult as we battle our egos in the context of opposing or competing ideas or perspectives. However, this approach only enriches our understanding, which actually improves our own value to an organization.

If I may suggest a number 4, what about including, "Is diversity a priority, why or why not?"
I have another counter-example. Why not simulate a smaller part of the universe, not the whole experience?

Suppose you have a real machine with 10 GB. You simulate a world of 1 GB. Inside the world, the universe is contained in 1 GB (say, a smaller version of the universe, simplified physics, etc). Inside the virtual machine, in the simulation world, the perceived universe is 1 GB. They simulation agents don't perceive a short-coming because they have never been exposed to the out-the-simulation experiences.

When I worked at MetaDesign back in the late nineties and early zeros we had something called RedBooks.

RedBooks were most of the work we had done for a specific client printed out in tabloid size bound into a spiral back book and put on a large shelf system.

We also had a matriculate digital folder system with projects, searchable and the same pages as PDF plus much more accessible from your computer.

Guess which one we used the most?

With the RedBooks it was very easy to pull out the book and look through it for inspiration, talk about how we did this or that and so on and with the book we only put in the things that where somehow relevant.

The computer folders on the other hand had everything because, yeah well why not. But what they had in quantity it lacked in human relatable tangibility.

Computers are great when the amount of information become so waste that it's impossible to manually search through it all or if you need to share a lot of your things with other people.

It turns out that for all the great things computers can help us do it still haven't solved tangibility.
We learned to harness ox and horses for this reason. These things don't pollute as much as a truck, and at the end of their lives we can eat them or they can become food for our ecosystem peers rather than leave them in toxic dumps.

I'll rephrase my point to highlight what I think most relevant: if we constantly make concessions towards cost efficiency (because it's "pragmatic" and "mature") we will run out of time to deal with the major pollution problem before it kills us and most of our peers.
They weren't required to run Chrome 46 on older version of Windows 10 on Surface Book as the video clearly says test was run in 2015 under video. I will object that it is a cumulative effect of Widows 10 (+ driver updates) and Chrome improvements. So Google has cheated again and took credits of others hard work.
I blame them for wanting to achieve a working product rather than a really cool concept.

That would be true, assuming a uniform prior probability of complex life in the real universe and a simulation. In actuality the simulation would almost certainly have rules that encourage the aggregation and stability of information, such that the probability of complex life would be much, much higher.

"The point is -- Eastern Europe was in practice left under occupation"

No one "left" anyone. Eastern Europe had a right to self determination, which was infriged upon by the soviet block. Blame the soviet block. Western Europe coming in and "spreading democracy" would have been a disaster.

It's easy for you to say, now that the west has won the cold war. At the time, Western Europe was simply either with the US or trying to find a third path, neutral and not involved in the cold war.

It is the responsibility of Eastern European to revolt and make a country for themselves, not anyone else's.

GitPitch Slideshow Presentations Announces Support for GitLab and Bitbucket Devs
Parts of the automotive industry is moving back to hand-manufacturing for a lot of different reasons. So far, out of the big manufactures, it's only been used for premium cars (I think Audi and BMW are two examples, and not every model from them).

There's a lot of reasons that might be in favor of good old manual labor instead of high tech robotics.

There is mass unemployment all over Europe at the moment. including UK. Untrained labor might not be as expensive as you think, especially compared to the guys who can design, install and operate automotive manufacturing robots.

It does make sense to use robots and CNC for machining and parts manufacture (where you'd need skilled labor) but the assembly line work is pretty straightforward. Especially in vehicles such as this.

Another aspect is volume. This doesn't seem to be a high volume vehicle, at least initially. It would cost a lot to set up an automated factory for this kind of product.

Finally, this car was designed to be shipped unassembled and be put together by the customer or a distributor, which might not be in the UK.

You can make an argument that Firefox should stay neutral. But I don't believe that many use Chromium instead of Chrome. For one because you can't find decent builds, unless you're on Linux, but also because people that don't want Chrome because of Google's services probably use Firefox, because Chromium is still integrated with Google (Web Store, Sync), while providing a poor experience (no PDF viewer, no Flash, no DRM, or any other proprietary bits).

Good thing that PDF.js, the PDF viewer from Firefox, ended up on Chrome's Web Store, so you can add it to Chromium. Which is the main difference between Mozilla and its competition: when Mozilla improves Firefox, it tends to benefit everybody.

Although I do see why Raspbian is included with it (project is geared more towards non-technical users) - it would still be nice to have a O/S-less download option for people who are on metered 'net connections or are using their smartphone data plan, etc. I realize this means having to create a tool or script to combine PiBakery with a pre-existing Raspbian ISO, but I don't see that being all that difficult. Maybe a tool that outputs a bash script or something that will run on first-boot of a default Raspbian install (just spitballing ideas here)?

How Universal is the Mind? (2011)
I think any hobby that attracts interest in the first place also attracts "purists". Coffee. Computers. Photography. Shaving (and the eight different major sub variants of shaving methods). Smoking meat. Smoking tobacco. Vaping. Audio equipment.

Pick a wikipedia page and chances are that scattered across the world, you'll find a handful or more of purists dedicating themselves to that subject. The internet has made it much simpler for these purists to indulge in their obsession with the meta.

Meanwhile most of the people into a hobby keep on just doing it with the equipment and materials they have. The purists do the hobbyist [1] a service in that they discuss every myriad detail at great length, frequently. The hobbyist gets free research this way, and the purist can continue to feel satisfied in their knowledge of the subject.

1. It's not that purists aren't also hobbyists - but their hobby as often the meta of the subject as much as the doing of the subject.
