What I would consider the killer features for this, if present (as in, if guaranteed these, I would buy it):

- The ability to use it as a drawing tablet for another computer. It's already a perfectly good large touch-sensitive surface meant for drawing, why should I need to buy a second one for Illustrator?

- ssh, and some way to connect an external keyboard. E-paper is excellent for a terminal, and this is big enough to be useful.

- Some way to use purely as a display, whether by some plug or by X-server broadcasting via SSH or some form of screen-sharing client. Most non-video uses of a computer (if color is not crucial) work just fine on e-paper.

- The ability to turn off cloud-sync. Sorry, but I'm not sending you everything I write. For some people that might even go deeper than a personal choice (NDAs, if they work on anything proprietary, depending on how they're phrased).

So, basically, the ability to use it for its components and not just the singular agglomeration of them that you envision. I put that above even the ability to write your own software for it.

In other words, if ReMarkable has the following, I would have already pre-ordered, even if it's got nothing else:

- an e-paper touch display

- plus Wi-Fi, USB, HDMI, etc.

- the ability to disable automatic cloud sync

- with four built-in programs:

-- ssh

-- drivers-for-use-as-drawing-tablet

-- VNC client

-- The reader/drawing program demonstrated in the video, for use alone
As others have mentioned, it is a narrow definition. The idea is that the only fluctuations occur due to uncontrollable factors (weather) which, in all fairness, do impact carbon-based power too (to varying degrees).

So a war in the middle east or a trade embargo won't impact the price per kwhr. Whereas a tornado would impact both wind and oil (even if just by slowing down the deliveries).

I would argue that wind (and solar (not so much hydro)) are much more susceptible to weather impact, but with sufficiently large capacitors/batteries that can be minimized.
What properties does email have that asynchronous messaging services (e.g. Signal) do not?
I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. I know a guy here who's hobby is exploring the old underground tunnels – sewage, overflow channels, catacombs. He's making a map of these because there's currently no official complete map. He often finds places there in a very alarming state – like, about to collapse and create a huge hole in the ground – and reports this to muni service so they can fix it and prevent a disaster.
We are destined to re-invent everything SGML in JSON. In a decade everyone will be pointing fingers at JSON, "overly complex and cluttered."
In my experience, people simply don't care. If the headline is juicy enough and is something they very much want to be true, they share it and reshare it on social media without bothering to examine the source, much less the content. Worse, a lot of these people have a distrust of "mainstream media" and professional journalists. They seem to have this notion that all journalists are part of some global media conspiracy to just make stuff up (though no one seems to know what the actual motives are for this supposed conspiracy), so they trust some dimwit blogging from his mom's basement who claims he has "inside sources" that no major media organization has. That's what we're dealing with here in the U.S.
Excellent reply to an almost insulting comment.
Thanks! Yeah, it's the same with the native pull to refresh feature on Chrome; it is overridden when the site has certain touch events, as there's no standard to prevent the default behaviors. I guess it's the same with Safari, which I imply you're referring to.
http://ionicframework.com is a hybrid framework built on top of Cordova. It's used for creating apps using HTML/CSS/JavaScript while still having access to native device features.

Specifically, Ionic uses AngularJS as part of it's framework. So, implementing this would be a little more work than drop-in but I'm interested in trying, when I have some free time.

Thanks for creating it.
Same on Windows. A device is quite unusual if it doesn't fit into the existing USB device classes. The only drivers I've needed to install are video drivers, and even then it's only to fully use that shiny Nvidia chip to its fullest. I didn't spend $500 to only push 2D.
As a fellow Arch i3wm user I completely agree. I love i3's simple and readable config.

It's odd that in Windows I dread updates, but using Arch I love to go home and see how many packages are ready to be installed and I usually end up running Pacman -Syu when I'm bored heh.

"Unlimited", like "arbitrage", is business-speak for "someone is going bankrupt". Hence the sad reality that "unlimited" anything is usually just "a lot".

I remember being pretty disappointed when I learned that deals like "unlimited candy" generally just deliver more candy than is healthy for one person to eat. I also remembering being floored by the story of American Airlines offering actually-unlimited flights for $250,000. And as you point out, that turned out to be a stunningly bad deal for the company.

Sure, "real" AI is important. I meant that using massive resources for solving simple problems with expensive AI will drive to deception, as soon as someone shows equivalent results by using cheaper AI (e.g. minimax, pathfinding, linear optimization, expert systems, etc.). In my opinion, it is like hunting ducks with cannons when using a simple gun could be enough for it.

In my opinion, real advances apart, a large portion of the "new AI bussines" is just a way of getting money from investors telling following magic words: "deep learning", "big data", "jump the wagon before it gets too late", etc.

You're right, long-term identity keys are bad. Long-term identity keys are not a concept mandated by PGP, they are a result of how people use PGP or how PGP is implemented in a third party app.

No part of PGP requires you to use a key more than once. This phenomenon is a result of a consensus of people deciding on a terrible operations strategy over a long period of time.

The only "trouble" I have had with UEFI was when I moved my wife's HDD from the old to the new Laptop (a Tuxedo btw that ships by default with some Linux). A live usb repair distro (I don't remember which one, I started from looking at SuperGrubDisk but ended up elsewhere) dealt with that quickly. She, not a computer person, is using Kubuntu for years.

Later, I got also the same laptop and moving my drive with an (fresher) install of Antergos went without any issue at all.

Here is how the US Department of Labor define jobs:

"People are considered employed if they did any work at all for pay or profit during the survey reference week. This includes all part-time and temporary work, as well as regular full-time, year-round employment. Individuals also are counted as employed if they have a job at which they did not work during the survey week, whether they were paid or not, because they were:"

Hopefully we will soon be able to discuss the reality of our situation and start looking at what to do about it instead of keep insisting that jobs are just jobs and that outsourcing and automation have no effect.

The Sun NewS stuff was some kind of postscript based rendering system that ran in parallel to X with an X server sharing the screen -- kind of like how X works on MacOSX today). I stayed away from it because I used mostly X windows terminals & DECstations. There was very little Sun hardware I could sit in front of in my formative years as an undergrad in the late 80s / early 90s.

I kept the same basic customizations for years, mostly around focus-follows-mouse and what mouse buttons + key combos moved, resize, iconify windows. My problem was that the key things my muscle memory depended on were fairly hard to configure in most things, and by that time, it was too late to change my muscle memory.

Eg, I have this hard-coded in my brain:

Button1=m :w|f : f.function "move-raise"

Button2=m :w|f : f.resize

Button3=m :w|f : f.iconify

(this means alt with mouse button 1 = raise window to front, and move it, alt+mouse2 = resize, alt+mouse3 = iconify)

So changing to anything else that didn't easily allow this customization was painful. I used a Mac for almost a year, and lived in the X environment so much that I went back to a *nix desktop. I kept doing crazy thing when I moved my mouse to another window, and the focus did not follow the mouse. So I'd start typing code in an Xemacs window, and i'd be deleting or forwarding mail. Argh.
This is pretty close to what video game companies do for their UIs and it works very well. You can even create a graphical tool for creating the UI that saves to json, circumventing the issues you always get when non-programmers try to directly edit data files.

The only downside I've noticed so far is a lack of theming support. Say you want consistent headers throughout your app and you only want to change the header style in one place. Is there a way to define a style and apply it to multiple components?

Price = where supply and demand cross. If there's no wind, supply goes down, so with constant demand prices will go up!

Florence, Italy | ONSITE | Italian language proficiency needed

Develer is a not so small company that develops software for third parties; our team is composed of passionate people who enjoy coding and learn new technologies. We are looking for software engineers to grow our web-oriented team. Here are some things you will work on:

* full-stack development of performance critical web applications;

* development of HTTP APIs for mobile and web applications;

* full-stack development of real time monitoring dashboards;

* UIs based on web technologies to control industrial appliances;

* mobile application development using React Native.

Our preferred technologies are Python (Django and Flask), Go, React, React Native and frameworks for single page web applications, but we welcome any passionate developer.
If you also know any of AngularJs, Ruby, version control systems or other programming languages (eg. C or C++) you have our attention!

We require at least 2 weeks per month onsite and proficiency in Italian language.

Send us your CV and some code examples at https://www.develer.com/jobs/
I typically send 3-5 per week.
Most people I know in business management default to passing tasks off to other people (as I think they should). They end up like the opposite of the absent-minded professor: They are skilled in getting people to do what they want, but have no technical skills of their own. I'd imagine when you get to that level, it's even more concentrated.

This is a crazy story but I still think Keybase gives you a lot to defend here. You have to compromise all the accounts and change all the proves to actually be able to send valid messages to somebody else.

That is a tall order, even if you use the same email as a username everywhere. I use long random passwords and 2Fa on a number of the important accounts. I don't trust google and Facebook, but I trust them to have some interest in not letting accounts be compromised.

Also if somebody changes all the proves, they will all be new and a smart system should be able to detect this sort of stuff in the future.
