Looks nice. I've been using Writemonkey for a few years, but might consider switching to this if the price won't be too high.

The showstopper for me, at the moment, is the non-international spellchecker. I need my native language (Norwegian).

I would also like the option to have a tiny clock in the bottom right of the page (like Writemonkey has). It's useful for fullscreen writing.

Writemonkey is probably the best alternative for Windows. It has way more features, and it's free (unless you need plugin-support). It does not, however, have inline live preview.

Exactly. Phones without FM capabilities can now listen to FM radio.
It even works in "airplane mode", since you're not actually streaming anything from a server.

And by the way, most phones have the FM chip purposely disabled... forcing you to stream data from the internet.

Looks nice but isn't the point of markdown pretty much that you can still do your typing in clear, explicit plaintext and then merely generate properly formatted html/pdf/whatnot from it, effectively avoiding any wysiwyg editing?

That's what different mark-up languages such as SGML (HTML/XML), LaTeX, even Org mode, etc generally try to achieve: to separate content and presentation. That is, to write the meat of the text explicitly and not even able to worry about how it will look.

Yep, iTunes or Image Capture... annoying. I have a Pavlovian reaction now, and I avoid plugging my phone into my Mac. While one can easily change the preference to prevent it, I've been caught out too many times, from reinstalling or using an alternate user account.

Having iTunes fire up while I'm using my Apple remote with VLC is even more annoying. And since it tends to catch me when I have company, I generally don't feel like pausing a film to fix it either.

They're a free marketing channel for celebrities (and businesses) with large follower count. They monetize those users indirectly by showing them ads of course. But a case can be made to charge some money from the celebrities themselves for value add services (e.g., personal customer service, subtle advantages in placement of tweets in user's streams etc. Lots of these tweeple/tweepanies would be willing to pay, say $20 a month for value added services leading to better engagement.

There's also a really interesting monetization model of users rewarding each other for exceptional posts with virtual goods. Reddit gold seems to be a successful example of this model. Twitter is a public square just like reddit. They should try this model.

Is this a trustless system? If so, what is the game theoretic aspect of it, what nodes do the mining and what are their incentives? If it is not, what prevents you from implementing a traditional distributed system with traditional consensus protocols? I'd wager that traditional methods are much more performant than the BitCoin blockchain in that scenario.

RethinkDB was simply too good to be true. I've been reading Slavas defmacro.org probably since he started writing it, and was watching where he will end up. It was no disappointment that he created this with his cofounders, and while I'm a bit sad they couldn't find a viable business I know they are young and ambitions, we will hear from them.

Go Slava!

I got a flight across Greece a week or so back. It's the first time a named device was singled out as "do not turn on, do not attempt to charge, please identify yourself to cabin staff"-type stuff since the 1990s when there was a bunch of - I think, Gateway - laptops that were known to catch fire, and they were regularly not allowed on flights.

The fact this is a replacement means the product has a major engineering flaw, and is likely to end up meaning the product is scrapped completely.

This could be the end of Samsung. They need to get on this and shut it down within a few days. Good luck to them.
Depends. If I spend 1 hour on FB - showing me 2 min of ads is easier. If I spend 6 minutes on twitter - with one minute of ads I am not only heavily monetized, but probably you are pushing my ad tolerance limits.

FB could easily double their ad content and still be usable. Is that true for twitter?
Two more national security reasons:

1. There is the problem of depending on potential enemies (all others have potential to be enemies) for goods that are critical to the military and/or general economy. Suppliers can threaten to cut supplies. Note that this can happen even if actual shooting war is unlikely; the threat to cut supplies is a brutal negotiating tactic that can block us diplomatically. For example, if we depended on Russia, they could demand that we support the Syrian government.

2. Lots of physical things contain computer chips. He who builds them is in control. Remember when France gave the UK some secret codes to make Argentina's missiles (purchased from France) fail. It's not just military equipment. Consider your Ethernet card and/or motherboard chipset. It could include a hardware debugger with full memory access, controlled by magic packets. What happens when we can only get those from government-owned Chinese companies? What about modern computerized farm equipment that phones home for licensing? If that were foreign, could a foreign power disable our farm equipment at a key time, causing us to face food shortages?
At my institute at least, scientists are required to maintain everything that is necessary to reproduce a result for at least ten years. That includes all the data and the software used to produce the results. It's not an easy job, but it's important.
> I dislike cassandra immensely, but I still use it every day.

I feel your pain. There is very few robust database system that handle recovery well enough at scale, and for those without the deep pocket to keep a dba on hand there are very little choices.

For small/middle scale robust system Cockroach db is promising but still needs a couple years development, if it can survive without a monetization strategy long enough.
> From an economic perspective, however, there can be no revival of American manufacturing, because there has been no collapse. Because of automation, there are far fewer jobs in factories. But the value of stuff made in America reached a record high in the first quarter of 2016, even after adjusting for inflation. The present moment, in other words, is the most productive in the nation’s history.

Pay no attention to the top % - that reaps all that benefit of that automation, and widening the wealth disparity chasm - behind the curtain.

> The shares of Samsung don’t trade on major exchanges like Nasdaq and NYSE in the U.S. It is listed on the Korean exchange and available as GDR in London and Luxembourg. However, in accordance with Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, U.S. citizens are prohibited from investing in GDR’s. The following options are available to U.S. investors:

> 1. Investors can either buy shares directly in the Korean stock market after proper paper work or through a local securities firm or bank (Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. are eligible)

> 2. Investors can buy Samsung’s shares traded over-the-counter in the U.S.

> 3. Investors can opt to take exposure to Samsung along with other Korean companies by investing in a South Korea ETF, for example, the iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF (EWY) has a heavy exposure of 20.64% towards Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

Price point is way too high. I can buy a portable radio from Target for $10.

If it were just an app (no hardware) with a price point in the $5-10 range, I'd find it useful. Not sure whether that's even possible though. The existence of cheap competitors sets a ceiling on what you can charge for it.
They've been maintaining their own set of apps that mirror Google apps on Android for a long time.
I agree that AR will allow for software to live between us. We don't have that paradigm at the moment. Yes we have a lot of devices that we use but they are all passive, nothing that we can visualise, interact with and that is active in real time like AR entities.
Rethinkdb is great software that was really designed with technological goals, one after the other, in mind. I'm a bit surprised to see the company shutting down. I mean, in some way, it's years they work at the project, but in the final usable form the project is not so old after all... Anyway to make it viable for the project to have a good live as an OSS project, there is to build a big community of core developers, and that's hard, so as a first step what I would do to ensure the viability is to strip-down it as much as possible in order to reduce the codebase of the fundamental part of RethinkDB to a more manageable size/complexity.

DTU Biosustain | Copenhagen Area, Denmark | Onsite | Full-time | VISA
Full-stack Web Developer for Synthetic Biology Design Platform
With advances in synthetic biology, genomes can now be edited at unprecedented speed and fidelity allowing making multiple changes in the same genome at the same time. This increases the need for computational tools to design cells and communities of cells analogous to the tools used in Computer Aided Design (CAD) of cars, buildings and other man-made objects. The European Commission has awarded 6.3 million Euros to a four-year collaborative project to build a CAD tool for data-driven design of cells and microbial communities. Applications will range from human health to sustainable production of chemicals.

Our web stack currently, in no specific order: AngularJS (soon Angular2), Angular Material, Typescript, Python 3, PostgreSQL, Docker, gRPC & protobuf. The API is written in Python and our scientists write most of their algorithms in Python. We currently use AngularJS for the front-end, however this is not set in stone. As visible on our GitHub org (https://github.com/biosustain), we are very dedicated towards releasing most of our tools as open source software.

We will help with getting a VISA, as well as with administrative issues related to relocation. Our working language is English. We are a very diverse workplace; 70% of our staff have an international background. The salary depends on qualifications and needs to be agreed by your union representative -- so I cannot give an official range -- but a rough personal estimate is 420k-500k DKK.

So if this sparked your interest, come and join a diverse team of scientists and engineers to work on something that matters.
