No, Android on tablets is dead. Chrome OS will probably fill that hole but it's not there yet. (I own a Pixel Slate and using it as a tablet alone is a horrible experience.)

Go with an iPad if you're in the market for a tablet.
We need a distributed scientific inquiry system that exists on the scale of social media. Imagine if instead of Twitter optimizing for attention, it optimized for rigorous scientific inquiry. The world would be a much more intelligent, reasonable place.
A lot of places in the US it's becoming more common to be able to make a living on a small-scale farm. Especially if you live near (hour) of a larger city. You can sell a lot of produce to restaurants that want local ingredients. I don't know if it's respected, but it's not looked down upon.

Also, apparently in the last ten years or so American farming has become small-scale by a vast majority. I think it's about 90% are 3 acres or less?

Slack is a massive company with a singular product. Can they really not afford to write their product natively? Their backend should be reusable, and they could write a core of the application in C++ that should give them a core functionality in all operating systems. Then have a native team take over for iOS, mac android, and windows, Linux. There are cross platform libraries that gets you a ui pretty far, or they could use pure graphics library and roll their own.

A billion dollar company has few excuses in my opinion.
The burqa is extremely unpractical to commit crimes, since actual visibility is very limited in practice. It’s akin to horse’s blinders. This is why it’s pretty unpopular even with Islamic women, who tend to prefer headscarves, even if they take longer to set up at first.
Which 3D anatomy app do you recommend?
I'm 35 and this is what I use mine for:

- Blink Shell and Mosh to do light coding in vim, remote scanning etc on my desktop at home while I'm away from home

- Effects processor in my music production/dj setup

- Paint/sketch in procreate

- Reading books

- Watching movies/series while traveling

- Control my Sonos setup

- Browsing the web obviously

So to answer your question; no it doesn't. The iPad product line is probably not for people coding during the day and playing fortnite at night.
It's not envy he's correct. When Uber left Austin there was a ride hailing app up in about a month. It's a bunch of people that got bailed out in 08 with zero percent money thinking they are smart looking to be part of the next big thing. Uber will never be profitable. But all early investors will treat ipo as an ATM, complete opposite of what stock market is for
Yep, and in a democratic nation, anyone who tries to add high taxes causing their large cars to be much more expensive to own and operate will be voted out, so the only thing that can really stop them is when the price of fuel is forced up by sheer lack of supply.
More features isn't always better. I already find Slack very overwhelming.
All of what you said is true, but that doesn't negate the issue raised in the post to which I responded. Fixing filesystem naming constraints, isn't enough to fix the command line problems you've identified. So if you're going to truly fix command line parsing, you're going to have to do it there. Perhaps offering a library that can eventually be used across the spectrum of utilities and commands.
Not sure what was bad about the DOS and Windows compatibility? OS/2 was frequently touted as "better DOS than DOS, better Windows than Windows" and it was generally true. You could multitask DOS apps (lots of people used this for running multi-line BBSes and so forth) and Win16 apps could crash without bringing down the whole system.

Of course OS/2 was later severely hampered by its inability to run Win32 apps, but that's another story.

This is like offering a discount on car insurance if you consent to having a GPS tracker installed.[1]

It's voluntary for now, but the industry is hoping people get used to it so it can be made effectively[2] mandatory.

And because people seem caught in race to the bottom competition to give up the most privacy they can, stuff like this may regrettably catch on.

[1]http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/01/14/scenario-auto-insuranc...

[2] Effectively mandatory meaning that insurance without a tracker will be like 10x the price.
I primarily read books through Kindle and O'Reilly (Safari Books Online). I went through a couple different kindle devices. E-Paper type devices are good for prose, but not really that great for any books with graphical content and don't work at all with web content.

I tried using a Kindle Fire, but the pixel density on all those devices is terrible. I had an older Fire HD for a moment which was decent at 254ppi, but it bricked itself during an upgrade. Amazon offered me a discount on a "newer" unit with 189ppi. I gave up and got an iPad mini with a 326ppi display.

I mostly use it for reading books on public transportation.

Nice Idea but ... where is?
>, “Boeing 737-800 pilots were required to receive some additional training on the MAX 8, which included an hour lesson on some differences. Additional training was not required, as the 737-800 and the MAX 8 have same type certification.”

How are those type certifications determined? It seems to me that there should be an instance checking if the type certifications make sense.

Or perhaps they did, and they just really look like similar planes. In which case I wonder if the threshold for 'versioning' should be changed.

(I know nothing of how this actually works, it just baffles me that seemingly different planes get the same certificate)

EDIT: I read the FAA does check this, but I wonder on what _grounds_ it makes the decisions.

If I give my email and phone number to OpenTable in order to make a reservation I am absolutely not giving the restaurant the right to scrape my data out of OpenTable and give it to SevenRooms with whom I have no relationship. I am 100% on OpenTable's side in this.
Unfortunately, he was right here, because that project was hopelessly overpriced. Yes, we badly need HSR in America, but the prices they're talking about are completely ridiculous.

What we really need to do is just hire the Japanese to build HSR for us, because we obviously can't do it ourselves.

Yeah, ideally, it should be between you and the restaurant.

OpenTable came into existence because of simple value proposition. For the restaurant, it simplifies the process of booking reservations. For the diner, it provides an easy way to access availability of any given time slot quickly across many places. Seems like a solid business that provides a nice service.

Unfortunately, that's not enough.

They took a big fat IPO, sold a couple times, and are now owned by Priceline. If they don't do the "surveillance capitalism" thing, that makes them a money loser-- given the obscene amount of money pumped in to "scale" them.

The best thing we can do is to make a phone call to the restaurant instead, or, just show up and hope for the best. Perhaps in time the restaurant industry will come up with an open standard webservice to do this stuff instead of depending on OpenTable, but I won't hold my breath.
The problem with the surface is that it is not good at "use it for 10mim, switch it off, and reuse it 30min later" kind of use case. It either goes to sleep then takes a while to wake up, or doesn't go to sleep and sucks the battery. It doesn't have the instantly on and available behavior that smartphones and non windows tablets have.
You're definitely confusing with Symfony, the PHP framework. As others pointed out, Symphony is a Slack competitor.

I will be downvoted to hell but I'll say this- tablets for fun were a fad that most people don't repeat twice (except the tech crazy/HN type crowd). Some people still use tablets for work (something the iLine of devices is horribly deficient at) and surface works well- I think you can install linux too.

Imagine surveillance being turned upside-down. Imagine a company unable to hire workers, because a union demands they first fire the CEO/management that looted company pensions at their previous company, or ran a predatory loan business, or tried to extort others through bogus patents.

In the eyes of restaurants, your relationship is with them. As a result, they feel fully justified in taking it wherever they please. No service company wants to be at the mercy of an intermediary.

Of course, I don't trust restaurants and hotels to not abuse my info, so...
Don't know why you got downvoted for this.

Five kids is an edge case. Besides, it's impossible to shuttle five kids to different places simultaneously by car without five parents. Not so with good public transit.
Keeping the lightning port is what really jumped out at me. Now some iPads are going to have USB C and others are going to have lightning, all under the same umbrella product of the iPad.

What is even worse (!) is that the iPhones and iPads still ship with a USB A to lightning cable, meaning even users inside the Apple ecosystem need a USB C/thunderbolt dongle with usb A ports to connect their iPhones/iPads to their computers. I have no idea how this decision was approved without thinking about this.

I've noticed an almost complete lack of coverage of the flooding in Iowa and Nebraska - I have a lot of family there and the amount of damage has been astounding[1].

I think they have enough use cases that they'll continue to sell, but I think the market is pretty much saturated at this point.
Is that the case here?
Sigh.

There is no privacy there. People need to understand, ANYTHING you use on the internet opens you up wide to privacy violations. Anything you use on the internet can end up in the hands of law enforcement. And certainly any SOCIAL network is, by its very nature, NOT private.

There is no way to be on the internet, and be completely opaque to the larger world at the same time. Zuckerberg is lying to you. So are Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, and Wire. If you're worth it, the US can track you. (Not just the US, several other nations and organizations can as well.)

Your tech savvy buddy who told you that they couldn't find you behind that pseudonym as long as you were using a VPN? Yeah... he's lying to you as well.

Brian Acton? Yep... you guessed it. He's lying to you. If you want privacy, DO NOT USE THESE TECHNOLOGIES. If you must use them, accept and understand that you have no privacy while you are using them. Then behave accordingly while using these technologies.

All that said, while we will never have privacy using the internet in its current form, we can undertake two initiatives simultaneously to ameliorate the situation.

Firstly, the internet has to be rearchitected with privacy as one of the design goals. (This likely can't happen all at once, but bit by bit over time we can get there.)

Secondly, and concurrently, we need to agitate for laws that make the sharing of data between commercial firms explicitly illegal. This won't protect us from the government aggregating our data, but it will make the government's job a little bit more difficult and it will stop commercial entities in their tracks.
I stopped using a laptop a while ago. For me, when I need to do complicated work I sit down at a desk with my 30” monitor and clacky keyboard. But on the go and for day-to-day tasks all I need is my 12.9” iPad Pro which, as a bonus, is s much better entertainment machine (reading comics and magazines, video, games) than my laptop ever was. I’m a lawyer fyi, so no I'm not writing apps on the thing or doing fancy multimedia workflows.
Not really bad public transport, but we have no traffic.

For me to go to work on the bus route I have to go pretty far away from my home to then work my way back due to the way the bus route flows.

or I can get in my car, drive to 10 mins traffic free, and be a work

Around here people use Public Transport because they have no other means of travel, not because on congestion or anything else

Fontforge is very useful and featureful but boy is it an eyesore.
This is incorrect. The engines are not too powerful for the airframe. The problem is that the engines themselves create lift at high Angles of Attack, pitching the nose of the plane up.

"This new location and size of the nacelle causes it to produce lift at high AoA; as the nacelle is ahead of the CofG this causes a pitch-up effect which could in turn further increase the AoA and send the aircraft closer towards the stall."

I nearly upvoted it on the title. I fully expected it to be some cool (but useless) thing involving setting a camera timer if it saw some particular image at the target within the shot. That wouldn't be too far off from a lot of HN content.

Instead it appears to be using the keyboard as a trigger and opencv to print text over an image? That doesn't exactly fit here. I suspect people interpreted the title as something far more interesting.
I usually take statements similar to "in this house, we believe science is real" as conveying the message that the people believe in the scientific method, rational inquiry, evidence-based arguments, etc, rather than a set of specific scientific theories.
I got a bonus roughly twice the cost of the iPad 2 64GB when it first came out, so I used half of it to buy it on a whim, no use case in mind at the time.

It's now my primary personal computing device. My day job has me in front of a desktop with keyboard all day. I have little to no desire to do things resembling work when I leave the office. My iPhone SE is too small to use for extended periods (but I won't get a bigger one as I want to be able to use it one-handed and hands wont oblige), so the iPad (now an iPad Pro) gets all my outside-the-office attention.

Reading, planning holidays & booking flights, budgeting, Netflix, whatever.

Software dev here, use my new iPad Pro in work all the time.

I originally bought one for home use, so I would stop using my laptop to watch Netflix/YouTube/Prime and then get distracted by work (too easy to flick over to an IDE or GitHub when an idea would pop into my head when at home).

The iPad works really well for this but I now find myself using it in work too for almost the same reason. Rather than bringing my laptop to meetings and then getting distracted (same as watching Netflix at home) I now just bring the iPad to take notes or look up stats/analytics online(most of the platforms we use have pretty good iPad UI support).

It's been great at properly focusing on meetings, now if I have an idea on a problem I just write it in a note and get on with the meeting rather than finding myself jumping to VS code and trying to work.
It’s still their product. You have the freedom to not pay for it and use whatever alternative you want or build your own.

Have you tried this? It takes forever to clean out a bucket. At the scale we're talking about, doing this on a single thread from the CLI tool means you could go home and come back the next day and cancel it then, and you still wouldn't have made a particularly big dent in the bucket. It's really a pain in the neck to delete a whole bucket full of data when you actually want to. It's "easy" to start off a recursive delete, sure, but I think you're overestimating the "kaboom" factor.

The Amish commonly pull all their teeth at once and just use dentures. Though I'm not a Lancastrian Dentist, I've not heard that they experience too many issues with long term dental use. Then again, their diets differ from the US norm by a fair bit. Still, they are a sub-group that does pull their teeth unnecessarily and seems to not have too many issues.

This looks phenomenal to me, and I recommended it to a few photographer friends of mine. They all felt the same way: yes this is super cool, but 10 MP is far too low to use in any professional capacity (in particular when dealing with photographs that would eventually be made into prints). It's cool for social media and stuff, but not anything they'd be able to sell, and thus not something they would pay for.

Currently the list of people I know who would pay for something like this is identical to the list of people I know who would require higher resolutions for it to be useful.
Real-World WebGL Applications
Agreed. I have tried using a tablet on the sofa but I just find it a poor experience. If I need to write something I either need a case with a shitty keyboard which basically makes it a crappy laptop in form factor or I have to lose half the content to the on-screen keyboard.

I currently use a MacBook (the 12" model) and it is close to perfect for casual sofa browsing. It has a decent enough keyboard, a perfect trackpad, good screen and while not a huge deal I still prefer macOS over iOS. Even when I use macOS in full screen model so it acts a lot like iOS I still find just having a mouse cursor much nicer to work with over a touch screen. I think this is mostly down to how awful the new oleophobic coating is on the new iPad's (Pro included). I can't stand seeing all those finger print smudges over the screen. Drives me up the wall!

I guess I am just too used to a laptop form factor and can't get past my own mental blocks?
I think it's valuable to ask some questions about the costs and unforseen second-order effects of throwing out all our traditional ideas of respect and status. It's pretty reductive to characterise this as saying people should "do what they're told". I can confidently say that's not an accurate reading of GP's comment.
