That probably doesn't cover suburban stations way out from cities.
I would absolutely love to one day own an OP-1. Teenage Engineering does amazing work. All of their stuff has a certain tactility to it. They definitely put a lot of thought and love into their work.

For those that can't justify spending about $1k for one, their Pocket Operator series is pretty fantastic.

I also recently bought myself a Novation Circuit, which honestly has the feeling of Teenage Engineering's interface design (minus a lot of the whimsy). For about $300, it's a fantastic little groovebox that I'll be getting a LOT of mileage out of.

Edit: formatting.
The irony of course being that it is illegal here and you can't buy it.

for me, anyone who understand Bitcoin as "investment" is a sucker. The value of bitcoin is orthogonal to it's function as digital cash system. If Bitcoin drops to 0.001 we can still use it to make transactions in software.

My prediction is that atomic swaps and lightning networks will reinforce the position of Bitcoin as a technology tool and crypto "Investors" will have wasted lots of money and time watching stupid graphs and "market caps" when the price adjusts to the real cost of mining and securing the coins.
Is anyone really attracted to someone who isn’t smart. Sure you don’t need to be a PHd. but, at least for me, you need to be able to have an informed opinion on things to be able to hold an interesting conversation. I’m so glad my wife meets that for me, we have great back and forth on things.
Damn, that is indeed possible. And I thought I understood these conceptually, now I have to read the papers again.
What? That's ridiculous.
Having experienced a lot of laptop over the years, higher end Thinkpad models are the most reliable. It's disappointing to hear even expensive XPS models are experiencing them same coil whine and battery issues my old Dell laptop had years ago.

Thinkpad also appears to use long lasting batteries that hold charge well. I've had 2 think pads, each 6+ years. They still hold battery for hours and hours.
That was my impression as well. I never knew that. Guess it's good to know though.

> It's my understanding that Congress didn't say marijuana should be illegal, but the DEA, right?

Incorrect. While the Attorney-General can add or remove drugs from the scehdules established under the Controlled Substances Act based on the criteria in the Act, with advice from the Secretary of Health and Human Services (in practice, as I understand, this is delegated largely to the DEA in DoJ supported by the FDA in HHS), the initial scehdules were set by Congress, and it is Congress that initially placed Marijuana in Schedule I, from which it has not been moved, when the Act was passed.

I took the parent's suggestion as being targeted for the HN audience; I agree that for most people, it's impossible to use, but for the readers here, I'd say it's an apt recommendation.
Under no circumstances should you pay to work. You'll be taken advantage of. No company that has anything positive to give you would consider such an arrangement.
It isn't a sales problem either. It's a tooling problem.

Git really ought to be treated as a low level tool that is called by a higher level tool that assembles content management workflows designed by developers that can be used by developers and non-developers alike.

Non-developers ought to be able to make 'commits' with git and pull requests without even realizing that git is the underlying tool.

Developers should just script their most common workflows and then use them 99% of the time.

Unfortunately the tooling that sits atop git is largely all shit and people have gotten it into their heads that one needs to have a deep understanding of git's quirks to be considered a 'serious' developer.
I agree. Like a lot of us here, I can build (and have built) my own networking gear starting with an empty hard drive and a Linux/BSD installer. I don't have to use an off-the-shelf networking solution. That said, Eero "just works" and much better than anything I've ever built myself. The mesh stuff delivers on its promises: I can start watching a video in my living room, then wander about the house hopping from AP to AP without dropping a single frame. My family doesn't pester me about idiosyncrasies. My kids' friends talk about our wifi being much better than what they have at home.

I could not possibly love Eero more. I hope they make it through this unscathed!
> But why?

It'll lower oil prices? Boost manufacturing in the US and around the world. It's buttresses the stock boom and keep the economy growing? At least for the short term. Internationally, it'll continue to put significant economic pressure on russia, venezuela and even saudi arabia to behave.

> Oil price is low as fuck right now.

It isn't low. It isn't high. Low is 2 or 3 years ago when oil prices got into the 20s. It's in the middle as has been for a while.

> Better keep it in the ground for later.

Why? If the current market can handle it? Besides, it's not like we are going to run out of oil.

Ultimately, trump is doing this because it'll be great for the economy in the short term and hence great for his election bid in 2.5 years. But there are host of other reasons for it as well.
Speaking from personal experience, exercising will definitely recharge you. I used to think procrastination was the only reason I couldn't get things done as quickly as I wanted to, until I realized that I had low energy levels (installing RescueTime didn't really help that much too). I started to going to the gym at lunchtime at work and there was a marked difference in my energy levels during the day. As a bonus, exercise also helps you sleep well and I can't stress enough how important that is.

> You could let developers build skyscrapers right next to the single Caltrain station (you know...the one next to the city dump?), and they still won't do it, because the demand doesn't exist.

There is literally a developer (http://www.universalparagoncorp.com/) waiting to build a project there. They submitted a proposal with 4400 residential units, and the NIMBYs are trying to shut it down.

> Make it quick and painless to commute to Brisbane (or any other city) by something other than car, and you won't have to tell the local lawmakers how to set their rules.

It's already quick and painless to commute to the proposed development by Caltrain. The local lawmakers are structurally incentivized to keep development out, which is the whole reason for this legislative proposal.
His same argument hold true for stock, everyone cannot cash out at once. So if it is a siren call for bitcoin, then why not for stocks? If everyone wants to convert from stock X to USD and no one wants to exchange USD to stock X is it not the same issue? How does the fundamentals of stock make it different? The bearish on crypto-currencies will argue that the stock has a fundamental value backed by a company but many market crashes have shown us that in reality that is just faith and that when there is a run to the exists the fundamentals of a stock do not matter. The same could be said for futures but even more so.
Hans started moving to Taiwan in the 1600s, then you had that big influx as the Chinese Revolution wound down.

There's also Native Taiwanese - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austronesian_peoples, they even make up about 2% of the population, I think they all want the Hans to pickup and leave their lands.
On that note; I'm pretty sure Trump will fail the Turing test.
For many architectures the coherency is turned off and managed in software by the device driver, to achieve better performance.
For anyone familiar with the Bay Area real estate market, this is obviously wrong.

Looking at recent sales, homes in Brisbane are selling at ~$600/sqft, which is easily enough to support the construction of dense housing. For comparison, that's about the same as Toronto, higher than Seattle and many other major cities.

All of Brisbane is near 101, which makes it better than a lot of places in the Peninsula for commuting.

Also, developers in the region are eagerly building condos and townhouses on any land they can get approval for, including areas with serious issues - eg. fifty feet from the Caltrain line but far from the nearest station. If you take a look at new construction listings you will see tons of these, and they sell great because many buyers prefer them over an eighty year old bungalow with tiny bedrooms, termites, and mold.

>Beanie Babies in 1999 are as good an example - I think they're a much more comparable example than any "commodities".

I'm guessing you think that's the case because you think bitcoin has no utility? Because basically that's all it boils down to. Gold checks off all your is a ponzi boxes (even the fanatical promoters, if you consider preppers/gold standard types). You can argue that gold has intrinsic value but a quick check shows that the majority of gold demand is either for hoarding or for jewelry (status symbols, no puropose except to be expensive).

>If I pay $1000 for a particular Beanie, that doesn't mean someone with 1000 Beanies should expect the book value of their holding can be realised.

If amazon has a market cap of $x, and bezos owns 50%, he shouldn't expect to get $x*0.5 from dumping all his holdings. This is a phenomenon in every asset.
We do a lot of activities we think give us energy but either don't, don't anymore, or only do in some idealized situation that isn't really happening. Or maybe something else that happens along with an activity is what we really enjoy (I thought I enjoyed driving, when actually I just like listening to music uninterrupted).

In the case of games or a show they can stop being fun and be more like work pretty easily. They're like junk food. They fill you up for a little while but they're not fulfilling.
Well, there are online only photo editing tools, but yeah, most still go for Photoshop.

The tool I am working on is mostly focused on analytics and data analysis, so even if the main target market is marketers I would not compare it to mailchimp or buffer.

Linux comes for free as the tool is developed using Qt & C++, but yes, probably not a top platform for marketers.

I got into a very nasty discussion with someone on here over Latin American history once.

As much as I love a lot of things about Hacker News, most users here have never discussed the indigenous histories of the Americas, so remain ignorant as to how to express themselves in such discussions.

To be clear, you should not be downvoted.

And to others oblivious as to why "peopled" is wrong: To people is frowned upon when discussing early histories of the Americas because it connotes that before the arrival of Europeans, aboriginals were not people and there was a lot of "empty space."

There were plenty of people in the Americas. The vast genocides across all of the Americas by the hand of European governments were due to a culture clash and the European immigrant's need for hegemonic power.

After the deaths of most indigenous population, Europeans used rhetoric to convince people that "vast, empty" lands needed to be "peopled." Genocide was used to replace native tribes with European immigrants.

A lot of the lands that were already rich in resources and on their way to healthy growth (prospering) did not need to be "peopled" by European immigrants.

Yes, if you know all this information and still use "peopled," you should be ashamed of yourself.

Here is a map of all the tribes in just North America:

As I already said to you, a few posts up:

> Also, non-penny-stocks tend to have rather fatter order books than any crypto (even Bitcoin).

The claimed utility of bitcoin is an open question at best. Blockchains have shown no use cases to date other than cryptocurrencies (I went and looked).

Literally the only reason anyone is talking about Bitcoin in 2017 is "number go up". If not for that, it would be in the Hilarious Disasters section of the Museum of Failed Technologies That Were Interesting But Not Actually Useful. The reason for "number go up" is not utility, except insofar as marketing claims that - it's pure mania phase speculation fueled by hype over "number go up". This lasts until the headless Ponzi runs out of n00bs.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his HODLing depends upon his not understanding it.
I have only great stories about Dell Laptops with the bullet-proof extended warranties. But I have those stories because I've needed the extended warranty. Is the computer still worth it for $200+ more? Mine was.
I used to have a paid subscription with some IPTV service which is kinda popular in this region of the world. Of course I knew that with internet-based video streams, they could track what and when I watch, but I naively assumed they wouldn't really do much like that... I'm a paying customer already after all...?

At some point, I think it was after the last big football event, they sent a marketing email. In it they listed which games I had watched, with minute-accurate viewing time information. They probably thought it'd be a neat surprise which customers would enjoy reading. I was repelled to see they keep this information in such detail. The marketing e-mail had quite the opposite effect on me.

A while after this, I cancelled my subscription with them. I was happy with their service otherwise - but I paid them to watch things, not to be watched myself.
This is all fun and games until an internet worm attempts to turn them on indefinitely. An empty microwave oven will overheat, hopefully shutting down in the process, though who knows? https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news/microwaves-can-be-a-fir...
Best one I've seen was a university library card catalog system from the 80s/90s that used unshadowed, 8-character salted passwords via the crypt() function on the Unix box it was on. Inexplicably, whoever wrote the application had limited it to require exactly five uppercase letters, crackable in a few seconds on my 33Mhz 386.
The money doesn't go up with traditional goods, but the total value in the system does.

This is easier to understand if you think about a specific traditional commodity, say timber futures. A timber future is created by some arborist who has some trees to sell, and will hopefully be ultimately purchased (after probably passing through a few investors' hands) by someone who has need of trees, like a sawmill operator.

But here's the magic bit: the same tree is worth more to the sawmill operator than it is to the arborist. Because she owns a sawmill, she can make finished boards from the tree which she can then sell at a profit. The arborist, who lacks a sawmill, can't take advantage of that opportunity. So there is some range of prices for a tree where the arborist and the sawmill operator will both think, correctly, that they benefited from the deal. By moving the same tree from someone who can't make further use of it to someone who can, the total value has gone up. And as long as the price of the future remains in that magic range, any number of middlemen can skim some off in between and everyone still wins.

Bitcoin doesn't work like that. There's nothing one can do with a bitcoin other than sell it, so there's no two parties who will mutually benefit from an exchange at any price. If two people disagree about the value they, personally, can extract from a fixed amount of BTC they can't both be right. They may disagree about their predictions or their risk appetite. But there's no sale of Bitcoins that both parties can look back on with perfect hindsight and agree that they both benefited.
I wouldn't call Maxim a startup, nor would I guess that their market reach approaches anything like the 95% figure above.
Check this paragraph from the TOS[0]:

If your subscription expires and you choose not to renew
your subscription within 90 days, Keeper Security reserves
the right to delete any Keeper records contained in your
account that have files (e.g. documents, photos, videos,
etc.) contained in them. Notice will be sent to you prior to
termination based on the email address associated with your
Keeper account. Expired user accounts convert to a Free User
account.

Sounds like you're stuck. The only way I think you can get out of this hole would be to pay for a month or so of a subscription and back your data up. Then charge back the cost. You are correct that this is a shady business model but you can always prevent it by reading the TOS for anything you sign up for. :)

They haven't done proper research. There are various reasons to like and not to like crypto. Prices might have probably gotten ahead of themselves, but they do have value.

Here is one example for store of value: how much wealth is held offshore globally? Around $32tn. Why is this held offshore? The wealthy want money secured abroad that can't be easily seized by any government -- especially if you have interests around the globe. You don't put all of your eggs in one basket.

Oh wait, that sort of sounds like a perfect use case for crypto.
The point is that all tools are hard if you don't have context about why they work the way they do. All of the tutorials are aimed at engineers, walking them through problems that they have and workflows that they'll want to use. Git Immersion is probably the best one I've ever seen and it's still aimed at budding Ruby developers.

Has anyone thought about doing this for content/marketing/design people? The tools that they use are hard too, but they know how because they were sufficiently motivated to learn them.

It's a big mistake for engineers to think that their jobs and the tools they use are significantly harder than in other fields.
I would say their use cases are that different from yours; I suspect for most, one of the primary goals is "I can configure these magical boxes using only my phone, preferably without having to type a single thing." which is definitely not what you get with Unifi.
I think Peterson is a little too intelligent to speak frankly on race, so he speaks in code to his followers that are in the know and allows them to make the logical deductions he leads them to. There's a discussion on his subreddit[1] that examines exactly this.

It was a nuclear disaster where nobody died from radiation and an old reactor coped well with bad luck and a natural disaster.

Care to share your usecase(s) that drive why you'd recommend the touchscreen?

On the plus side, I would imagine higher resolution translates to crisper text.

2. Screen wobble and fingerprints on touch

3. $350 premium over equivalent non-touch spec
