You have to realize that in the US you have the luxury of stable (corrupt, but stable) government. A lot of other countries dont have that luxury. An international standard is a lot more enticing to someone from such a country than it is for you. Like stability is relative. What you can perceive as unstable, someone can perceive as unstable but stabler than the default.
Your comment strikes me as odd and unnecessary.

The Pixel 2 (not XL) would probably a good enough choice between those two, though I'm not sure if this battery degradation experience would be much better on other devices (in my understanding, those devices would experience sudden shutdowns with a degraded/older battery, just like iPhones did before the software updates to throttle CPU performance). The Pixel 2 XL has also been reported to have some serious display issues [1] that the Pixel 2 doesn't.

You have the read in the implied math about the length of the demand cycle and how long it takes to fill capacity at the quoted throughput. for example, 12MWH battery can handle 12MW of peak throughput for 12 hours, and then discharge over 12 hours of trough throughput. "12MWH" and "12 hours" are ouputs to the battery formula, "12MW" is the output.

Not really, just the way that keyboard input is mapped to a charset (like ANSI or Unicode). A keyboard is not a device that is 100% compatible with any character set (mainly because it is an array of keys that have an arbitrary meaning in a charset).

The current terminal architecture enforces any application to adopt its mapping of key combination to code points, which doesn't really make sense, at least from an input perspective (think of binding C-Tab in Vim to something: You can't, because the terminal knows no representation for it).

What would make sense OTOH is for the translation to happen in the application itself -- and maybe having a common API that makes the default mapping easy to use.

If I read [1] correctly, that's basically the same idea -- introduce a new API with which an application can determine which buttons were actually pressed as opposed to just reacting to an ANSI control signal that could've been produced in multiple ways.

Peripherals have the same problem, by the way: The USB HID for example can't send code points to the computer, but can only produce key codes, which are then interpreted by the keyboard driver. Sadly, this means that I can't tell my Ergodox keyboard to send an `ä` to the computer directly, only the combination that would produce this character if the right language has been selected.

Edit: Also, to quote the Plain White T's: Hate is a

I’ll give you a more realistic answer: if you’ve never done microelectronics interfacing, you won’t have much luck until someone develops a driver (“software api”) for a particular eInk display for a platform you’d like to use.

I’ve never used MicroPython, but the C APIs I’ve seen for LCDs for micro controllers are usually pretty straightforward. Depending on the level of abstraction, they might offer a basic “put this B&W/R&G&B pixel at location x,y” or a higher-level “print text xyz” type of interface, both of which are easily exposed to python’s ffi and consuming it from there should be no problem.

But the trick is waiting for someone to get that driver made.

I’ve been meaning to play around with mine, if there’s sufficient interest I could see how realistic writing up some Arduino-compatible code to interface with it and some instructions would be.
If the telco companies had slightly longer-term vision I agree, but I'm skeptical of them not shooting themselves in the foot
I guess in effect we have a "CGT allowance" of ~$6000 USD/year, but if you make more than 6000 USD in taxable income from _any_ source, you cannot use it. It's a deduction that is used for all income sources.

If we do have shareholder lobby groups, they certainly do not have any impact on policy. Capital gains tax increases one percentage point to 31% next year, up from 27% five years ago. In addition, there is the 0.85% wealth tax on net assets above ~180,000 USD. There is no deduction for long term capital gains.
What are the odds - we have a tiny bottle on our shelf that some visiting Finlanders gave use about five years ago!

When I was reviewing robotic vacuums for potential purchase I was disappointed to understand that most of these (if not all of these) are for the "maintenance" use of cleaning a floor.

By that I mean, they will run a rather random route, and may or may not get to that spot on the rug you'd rather them clean, which would harken the "Alexa, clean the rug".

These things, although still very cool, seem kinda useless for anything other than once-a-day scheduled routines for keeping dirt, hair, and other messes down to a minimum.

Ironically each commercial will show the robot cleaning up a spilled mess with easy, none can actually "see" these messes. But you know, marketing.

"Rather, dollars are a temporary store of value, a means of transmitting that value from one person to another. As Buffett says, valuing bitcoin is like trying to value a paper check drawn on a bank. Pointless."

I agree with the premise of the article, but isn't this quote a jump from that?

Note that this is exactly what's already happening with services like T-Mobile's "Binge On," AT&T's "Stream Saver," etc. You pay for some amount of data, and certain providers like Netflix don't count against that data allotment (and maybe their videos are compressed, or precached near cell towers, or something).

The FCC was inquiring into these programs until Ajit Pai's appointment as chairman: https://www.geekwire.com/2017/fcc-ends-inquiries-t-mobiles-b...

You don't get killed by transaction fees. Some exchanges have withdraw limits. Some exchanges have withdraw fees (but they are flat). Your market/limit orders may also have fees, percentage fees, so those are to look out for, but when arbitrage opportunities are around the 5% range, it's moot. I think what kills you is the time that it takes to balance your accounts between exchanges. You can make one arbitrage execution, and have to wait 30 minutes up to an entire day, before you can rinse and repeat, assuming the spread still exists by then. Scripts should really help here.

This is a beautiful way of looking at the X from a very zoomed out perspective. To an extent, I agree with much of what’s said and felt the same way when starting to use my X.

But, and this is the important but here, we’re existing users. I saw iPhones develop over time, so for me this is evolution and I put up with it. But what about new users, that are new to the platform.

Apple made some interactions so unintuitive that even I was confused. One example is purchasing an app. Pre-X, you’d tap the “get” button and place your finger on the home button or enter your password. With the X you have to tap the button, look at your device, and then follow the most unintuitive animation to actually press the physical side button.

That’s where I think we start to see the difference between evolution and compromise.

One per team sounds about right, unless there are some components that don't fit together in the same runtime (e.g. a data lookup with a little business logic might not fit with a module sending out emails). That said libraries go a long way to reduce the dependency graph and prevent developers from creating unnecessary edges by randomly autocompleting code.

I don't believe OP was implying that at all. Seems more like OP is opining on the rather large barrier some people have to living where they work vs. being forced to commute.

Some folks end up in a situation where they can't afford to move (or, probably more commonly, live) closer to their job, but can't find a well-paying enough job in their own town to survive their either.

If you're commuting and can't afford to live in the city to which you commute, you're being paid below market rate. Probably well below. It's very easy for companies to exploit that to their benefit, and much to the detriment of their employees.
I'm not sure I understand; if you don't care about the output then send it to /dev/null. If you do care then pipe it to an editor. A terminal is not a text editor (I mean, I suppose it could be, but that seems like a rather large scope change.)
This is simplistic and probably wrong. Part of the reason ambulances are expensive is not because of the intrinsic /cost/ of the service but because the consumers have no choice but to choose the ambulance. They are, in effect, a monopoly and therefore can charge monopoly rents. And Uber (or whatever) is helping to break that monopoly.

(It doesn't have to be that way. Other countries have managed to keep ambulance services affordable.)
It turns out, that the value of this data in aggregate is pretty high - there is the possibility of saving probably 100 million person-years per year of lives through algorithmic medicine (ie. each person on earth lives 1 year longer), and the raw records could form a substantial cut of that value.

The flip side is researchers don't need everybodies data. A few million records would be very beneficial, and they can likely offer something worth a few cents to persuade enough people to hand over data.
I never understood how or why patenting math is a thing.
> All countries are at different places in the march towards human rights.

It’s a tightrope for sure. On one hand, you can’t completely alienate people, because then they will not engage with the rest of the world and see how life can be better. On the other hand, being too accommodating reinforces the existing power structures against domestic pressure. It signals that you can participate fully in the western international order without adopting its values.

Something like refusing to hold international events in a place is a great pressure point. It’s not something like economic sanctions, which will cripple countries and make the people hate the west. At the same time, it’s an embarrassment and a source of shame to the ruling elite.
> which directly affected Boeing's ability to sell them their equivalents.

Boeing's bid to Delta was some Embraer E series they had from an Air Canada trade-in. [1]

No model of 737MAX competes with the C Series for Delta's RFP. Both Boeing and Delta have readily admitted this when asked (see [1]).

Boeing has nothing in the market to compete with regional jets like the C Series. This is exactly why they are now looking into buying Embraer to counter Airbus acquiring a majority stake in the C Series. [2]

Hear, hear. Meanwhile in remote areas of Africa, this is more like what functions as currency:

Cows are currency and credit card and bank account rolled into one. In South Sudan, banks can go bankrupt — cows are more reliable. At least that's how it used to be."

Business VPNs usually look different, traffic-wise, from personal VPNs - you can permit Cisco IPsec and ban OpenVPN, and get close enough.

Also, you can just keep track of known-business or known-personal VPN endpoints. VPNs don't hide the fact that you're using a VPN, nor which VPN you're using, from your provider. (You could still use Tor pluggable transports, but then you've completely given up on performance.)

I rarely use terminals so please don't take my answer into account. Just for the fun: I hate terminals because of the lack of discoverability. I know, it is probably the antithesis of a terminal, something that can not be fixed without breaking the concept of a CLI. But I really hate the lack of visual feedback. What is the state of the system? What are my options right now? How was my command interpreted (sometimes I have to scroll many pages up to maybe find an error message.) Etc.
The entire source tree is based off of git submodules and an automatic build system, right? I wonder what would happen if you ran “git submodule —update” (presuming the submodules point to master, though I am unsure if that functionality was around in git when this was published) and then tried to build it with tup.
Liberal spec licensing was a deliberate goal of the WHATWG: remember that most of the WHATWG specs have been written from scratch rather than derivatives of the existing W3C specs (which W3C host organisations hold the copyright of).

It ultimately gives a further constraint on relevance: be relevant, or someone will fork your spec and implementers will follow.
