I would go for T420s.

- you don't really need IPS for development.

- you can swap battery easilly in T420s and you can get additional in the ultrabay if battery life is really big concern. (in any case always get a new battery if you are buying second hand laptop)
This has very little to do with their laptop business but everything with Westinghouse and their nuclear power plant business.
I'm pretty skeptical this is true. I don't think this has to do with Twitter censoring left or right wing accounts.
I browsed Tesla's recent 10-K filings [1,2] in the meantime. The lithium-battery cells, at least, are purchased from Panasonic by Tesla, which (I assume) implies that it's Panasonic's technology to manufacture and sell.

The Gigafactory 1 appears to be some sort of joint venture which is bankrolled by Tesla, but operated by Panasonic, where the batteries are produced. The Gigafactory 2 is similar, but produces PV cells and modules.

yea, just toss an opinion aside as blind because you don't like it. That will get people listening to your point of view!
A Chromebook would be the only non-crap new machine for that budget. You can install Linux on Chromebooks.
> I can still own my own site and redirect the URLs if I so choose.

IMHO that is the most important bit. As long as you have a backup of all the important content (relatively easy with a blog that's mostly text) and own the domain, you can always pack up and leave if the platform you are using goes away or doesn't fit your needs anymore. (Related: I wish more services allowing you to bring your own domain would also allow to setup flexible redirects for old URLs, but I can understand that would be a relatively complex feature)

We'll make some.

The gamble we're making is that we're smart enough to survive in the most dire conditions.

That's a stupid gamble, but we might win. Plus we're on a roll so far.
Do you believe that we are heading to near extinction-level event? As far as I have seen, even the most extreme predictions of climate change consequences don't come close to that.

I have seen predictions expecting mass forced migrations, decrease in sustainable population, etc; but unless you're literally expecting the vast majority of the worldwide population to die, it's not an extinction-level event, it's not near extinction-level event, it's an entirely different ballpark.

It might be a horrible catastrophe, it might change civilization as we know it, that's for sure, but there's really no valid reason to mention the term of extinction in this context. There are some risks/potential events that have a (low) chance of threatening extinction, but the expected climate change is not one of them.
It's only a matter of time until the Department of Labor weighs in.
I wonder if people say these same things when there's a bootstrap related post, or do people just get that it's a jumping off point? I get it if you just don't like it, but we shouldn't need to explain boilerplate.

I like to look at the apps google builds with their own frameworks as a guideline for good examples. Like https://material.angular.io/ using angular material 2. I like it simple, clean, and easy to read.

Quibble. Electricity is tangible. Use your finger to complete a circuit. My bet you will perceive it by touch.
What's the "A 100, A 200 etc." on the right-hand side?

And the 50-900, what's this about? From the docs, I read: "pick 500 as primary color". But what does the number refer to?
The HN title i clicked said 5 hours, is that true? Holy cow.

But certainly in the case of the iPhone a lot of them do get bought locally. Perhaps not by Foxconn factory floor workers, but certainly by a lot of other people in China.

I mean I kind of get the point you are trying to make, but Foxconn and iPhones aren't really a good example of that.
Only problem with that is that after that my kids wont want to talk to the strange guy at their play with a camera strapped to their head :)
I have a way cheaper machine myself that I still use everyday.

It's a T60 with upgraded CPU (T7600), second hand 60GB SATA II SSD, 3GB RAM (limited due to chipset bug), ExpressCard with USB 3.0 and a 9-cell battery which lasts for 1/2 hours.

I spend around $100 for this machine in total, only $25 for the T60 itself.

I'm not using this particular machine because the specs are so great, but because I found it on Ebay and it was painted yellow. It's such an awesome thing. It runs Debian with XFCE4 fine, but websites like Facebook in Firefox isn't that fast. For development purposes it's perfectly fine.

I'm thinking about upgrading this machine with a motherboard from a T60p with a FireGL GPU one day, but I have to research if that would work.

You could take the same route as I did, but if that's too much work I'd go for a X201 with SSD and 8GB RAM.
It really is too late, I think. There's too much momentum, and too little control. It's like that situation just before the Titanic hit the iceberg.
If you're going to be SSH'd into servers (or other devices) most of the time, a Chromebook could be an option. Just get one whose hard drive can be upgraded if need be.
One of the more archaic meanings of "concern" is a business. It was a common term up until the early 20th century. Remember that prior to that time, corporations were much more difficult to form, and a "company" was usually referring to specific entities vs. the more typical partnerships and other entities.

A "going concern" is a business that is operating and making a profit. A "going concern warning" is a term of art that implies that a company's situation (usually fiscal) is such that it may need to stop operating. In other, smaller, contexts disasters like a loss of key staff trigger that kind of warning.
But also not strictly on their platform. There's top-down "encouragement" from management to use Material Design in all their iOS apps too, which isn't really being a good citizen of the platform.
10 Must Have Customer Service Skills (and How to Identify Them)
This, indeed, hits the nail on the head. It is not an anti-technological rant, but a proper rant against technology as an end in itself. Big-picture thinking -- on the scale of the Earth and a timespan longer than one life -- inevitably overlaps with the spiritual; which is to say, how we live our lives; and the manner of our living is exactly what is having dramatic effect on the ecosystem now.
my droplets are all fine, and were running the whole time. the issue seems to be connectivity related, as i can only ssh into most of them, and they've been coming back online in groups...
I still don't understand: wouldn't "going concern" if it had that origin mean the opposite - i.e. that it was going to fail soon? I would naively say it's "without a going concern" for a stable business.

Are you sure about this? I have an i7 x220 and it doesn't come with USB3. I think I remember having a tough decision between the x220 (USB2 + nice keyboard) on the x230 (USB3 + chiclet keyboard).
While mortgages do go on for decades (typically), people will frequently re-mortgage based on new interest rates.

e.g. in the UK it's typical to sign up for 2-10 year deals, with the interest increasing after these offer periods, meaning people will likely switch to another deal.

So there will be a certain amount or organic churn.
Nope. Just pointing out, that what you described above is pretty common. You don't need to "fully invest in the Microsoft ecosystem"

Seriously, get a grip and stop being self-absorbed. Read history before you long for something you've never actually truly experienced!
IDK, if it's your nature than try to embrace it rather than loathe it. IT generalist can be useful in consulting business.
I guess if we had foresight we could have prevented the industrial revolution which would had (likely) prevented climate change.

Of course, the industrial revolution was a force of economic pressure, not a decision the world came together and decided on in unity.

So to prevent the industrial revolution would have required a suppression of freedom and property rights unlike has ever existed in history. On a world scale.
I know there are a fair few startups in the news summarisation space but I haven't seen any take this kind of approach. Off-topic, I know, but hey.
That's what turned me away from Scrum. When you do something really difficult you end up reporting the same thing for weeks. Or you feel you shouldn't even try something difficult because you can't break down into little daily chunks.

I prefer my people solve difficult problems and not just little bite-sized tasks that only touch the surface of the system.

Wonderful to know that Hilbert was a finitist, and that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitism is an official camp.

Without knowing too much about about the subject, I've vaguely wondered about this idea for a long time, now, but I figured it likely an un-respectable position. I think it's too bad that beginners are often shielded from controversies in foundations.

Within the past few years I ran across an alternate approach to calculus, which if I recall correctly, achieves the same basic results, but without the same notion of infinitely small slices and so on... now I can't find it to link.
Since when we are sure? Just a few weeks ago some scientist on BBC was talking about extreme events and was careful not to insist that they are a direct consequence of climate change (though there finally appears to be a link).
I am aware about consensus on climate change, but not about direct link between it and more frequent or more severe occurrences of extreme weather events. Pretty much all agree that it is likely that changing climate "may likely" bring more of such events but are careful not to directly link any particular case with it.

China’s Huawei Will Take on Amazon, Alibaba with New Cloud Services
Games are a "hits business", like movies and music. People mostly have predictable, conventional interests. If you don't want to be a one-hit wonder, you must continue to provide what the audience is demanding.

Many game makers mistakenly conflate any kind of success with an endorsement of their game creation skills and assume it will transfer. If the next product doesn't hit the necessary behavioral hooks, it's going to fail, no matter how well your first or main product was received.

Just as in movies and music, the big players rehash the same stuff over and over again because it sells. The dividends from these formulaic products pay for the small fraction of experimental/non-formulaic ("soulful") projects, which typically lose money.

The pictures look great, but black or slate roofs are not so common in the USA so I'm not so excited. If you want the nice look a black roof parts that aren't covered with panels will probably make the attic way too hot. With less airflow the panels must be less efficient too.

I preferred the Tesla Solar Roof Shingles they announced last year https://www.tesla.com/solarroof. I any case its an exciting time and great to see people working to make them better looking.

I did not think this was about politics. I am not sure this is true either but I thought twitter was trying to curb abusive tweets lately. Perhaps the tweets towards United were trollish/abusive etc?

So "concern" is something that matters to someone. Here, a business.

And "going" means that it can keep going, that it won't stop because of some failure or limitation.
English has changed a lot over the centuries.

I, um, don't mean that as a snarky comment or anything; it really is in a lot of ways the best explanation. It's weird and fascinating how words slowly shift over time and how ever though "go" or "concern" never necessarily quite "changed their meaning", it still sometimes wanders a little bit and over the course of centuries it can add up to a surprising amount. Phrases sometimes can get "stuck" and survive past their constituent words having their meanings shift away.
It's... an extremely common accounting term? First day of Accounting 1 or so?

It's common enough that it's been used as the title for a pop animated sitcom episode -- Archer (S2E2).
Is it calories or mass? I.e. cow eats 10kg of grass to produce 1kg of beef, we eat 10kg of beaf to gain 1kg of weight?
And in any case it does not really answer the question.
Electron is flash for the desktop (2016)
I would go with Chromebook with 8GB memory.

Thinkpad is overpriced. Zenbook is good alternative to Mac.
Nice question man, I've been scouring ebay for the same rough specs($300-$500). Long battery life, thin, 13.3", 8gb ram, i5 at least, 1080p screen minimum.

The ones I found were: Asus Zenbook, Samsung Ativ, Lenovo Ideapad (2-in-1)

The Ativs are really nice except for the "Windows 8 COA BIOS key in system, need to download copy of Windows 8 from Samsung" that was one ebay listing I saw.

The Carbon X1 is a good series but has fan, also battery life not good and 14"

I'm favoriting your question as I'm looking myself. It's tough man, a lot of the older computers don't have good battery life or are stuck with 4GB ram. Macbook Air 2013 is probably your best bet as far as actual battery life/build quality but it runs Apple OS, you could dual-triple boot that was an option I was considering myself however the battery life is partially software on Apple's side.

The Dell 13.3 edge displays are nice haha, surface book would be nice as well, but yeah out of budget.

There are some other ones that slip my mind. So many times I was sold on a laptop then found problems like heat/battery life/display problems.

Right now I get away with 13.3" (Samsung Chromebook 2 Exynos $140 (slow processor)) and Cloudbook 14 by Acer (battery life $99 good battery life longer in Windows than Linux with TLP I tested 9+ hrs), but these suck 4GB ram, 2GB ram respectively. The chromebook what's nice about it is the screen/size. I have crouton on the chromebook but it's not as convenient as just having full linux (watching shows better on chromebook side).

I'm mostly productive on my 8GB desktop though with 2 screens. Laying back coding in bed has yet to be proven productive for me haha but that's the "reason" I'm trying to find a good dev ultrabook for cheap. I'm also concerned about theft, so the idea of lugging around a Dell 13.3" edge display xps... I don't know what I would do if someone just stole that... so a "disposable" but useful laptop is appealing. This Acer Cloudbook 14 is close but that fixed 2GB ram damn...

Keep in mind my search is for ultrabook, hopefully the fans either don't exist or are positioned in a way where you can set your laptop on your lap.
Was sceptical of this myself until I experienced it. Scott Adams completely disappeared from my feed for, well I'd like to say months but can't pinpoint when it started. I assumed he had just given up his account/been banned. Until one day I searched for him, and there he was still posting. He had actively tweeted while I was logged on yet it was no-where on my timeline! I scrolled back a bit collarating tweets that appeared for me on the homepage versus times that he had posted, he was no-where to be seen and presumably under some sort of shadow block by Twitter itself. Before someone comes in and says it was due to preferences etc, I don't follow a huge bunch of accounts, I don't like/retweet or even tweet.
Is there a list of the apps anywhere?
The term "going concern" is fairly standard terminology in the accounting world. I'm quite amazed more people haven't come across this term. It's certainly used heavily in the UK when discussing whether or not a business is able to function or not.

For example, "we bought the business as a going concern" would be its use in a typical sentence.
> The one button to rule them all thing was a flop that even their own apps have ditched, the only place I still see it is in myfitnesspal (and it's super annoying)

Exactly. The math on digital ocean is strong. I've got a lot of credit with them from a few blog posts that got popular and I still host my blog on a $7 / month Heroku hobby dyno right now with unlimited bandwidth.

The entire reason that I do it myself though is because my blog is what I use for random technology experiments, so I get some value out of that.

This isn't just because of 2 GC's working side by side. This happens to any memory that isn't a JavaScript object. So every asm.js and WebAssembly library is affected by the same issue, even if it doesn't have its own garbage collector. With there no way of hooking into JavaScript's Garbage Collector, you can't free your native handles when the JavaScript object wrapper gets collected, so you get leaks all over the place. So the only option is to manually manage your JavaScript objects in your JavaScript code by calling their "destructors", which kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a Garbage Collector. With WebAssembly on the rise, I hope people become more aware of this issue and implement proper GC Hooks for JavaScript.
No, it's not a "concern" in the sense of "worries".

It's a concern in the sense of "commercial enterprise, entity".

Similarly, it's not "going" in the sense of "leaving" or "going out of business", but "going" as in "ongoing, viable".

So, "going concern" is not a negative thing, meaning "bankruptcy worries" or so, but a positive thing, meaning "viable enterprise".
