Nice that you made your money. Unfortunately, you also gave some bad advice:

Working on a laptop only all day long is insane. You need to separate screen an keyboard, otherwise one of them will be at the wrong height. If you use a laptop, it means you need to add an external keyboard. Everything else makes absolutely no ergonomic sense!

Here's an example of what you should have advertised: http://www.ergotron.com/ProductsDetails/tabid/65/PRDID/320/l...

Plus, you can sit and then stand up by just pushing down/pulling up the table up easily with one hand.

This, the Parallel Construction story, and the Patriot act having been principally used for the War on Drugs than terror... has made me consider that the War on Drugs may actually be more dangerous to Liberty than the war on terror.

No doubt it's basic premise, that putting a substance into one's own body is a "crime", is a pernicious lie.

The War on Terror's pernicious lie is twofold: Terrorism isn't a crime, and thus isn't subject to any laws, that this war is eternal, and the whole world is a battlefield.

Certainly in practical effects the Drug war is worse: Minorities whose communities are regularly raided by soldiers, depopulated, and placed into our glorious, humane prison system with the highest incarceration rate in the world, than stripped of voting rights and essentially blackballed from employment afterwards, would think surely so...

My natural tendency has so far been to see the war on Terror as worse, this may be me I, like many HNers with dissident political opinions, am more likely to see myself as an actual target in the War on Terror. That, and being an Orwell fan...

Me feelings exactly. I'm not totally sure, but I think the fairly strong sales of the Furinno stand is evidence that the message matters.

How is this different from the last Paperwhite model? I see "improved screen" and "faster processor". It seems like there's also some new software features, but that's just software. Is that all that's new?

A: 1366x768 is especially junk, as 720p video is going to get slightly upscaled and blurred. So it's low-res and looks bad for video.

B: Pixel doubling is a fine alternative. I recently saw a MacBook Retina, and I spent 15 minutes just reading colorized HTML because it was so shockingly good looking. Windows 8 (at least the WinRT side) supports scaling much better, and 8.1 is supposed to be able to do 200% (aka perfect) out of the box. So again, they're just lagging by not even offering the option.

C: Not everyone has terrible eyesight. Lenovo offers no 1080p (or higher, like they IBM did) on anything less than their 15" device (and the 11" Helix, I think). There's no excuse for that. I'd be exceedingly content with 4K on a 12" X-Series. I'd be overjoyed even to get 1920x1200 on an X-Series.
My post describes exactly what is "scammy" about it, hint: there's other links. Though you could also argue click here to learn about KitKat should give you an Android 5.0 info page since this is android.com

At risk of never flying unmolested again--you do realize that you've identified the lacking qualities in the aforementioned attack plan, and that those can be readily addressed by such simple actions as hitting more places at once over a longer period of time?

The entire point of the article is that that sort of a analysis is ongoing, is that when you try to deal with an opponent you are dealing with something actively exploring a solution space.

That's what makes the security theater so annoying--it's clear that there are a dozen ways to stage a successful attack were one so inclined, none of which would be stopped or even slowed by our current (or any forseeable) measure.

I was thinking the opposite. They've taken the analogy too far (Kindle, Kindle Fire, Matchbook).

With the historical associations that come with "burning" and "books", I've always found the analogy awkward.

> the principal of never having to turn a profit.

There should be no barrier between a writer, and a consumer. The margin, everywhere in between, should be effectively zero.

That argument reads to me like this: "If my kid injured himself, I would be inconvenienced - so let's take extra steps to make sure I am not inconvenienced."

And to your point, there are cases where this is valid - when the inconvenience would extend beyond just "oh my afternoon is ruined" and into "everybody's afternoon would be ruined".
KitKats aren't a dessert item, they're a cheap brand of candy people buy at gas stations or at the grocery store checkout line either because they want some no-thrills candy to snack on, or because their kids won't shut up.

If given the choice between a delicious eclair, or the frozen yogurt, and a plain old package of KitKats, I would choose eclair or the froyo. Quite a few people probably would too. This is because KitKats are inferior. Some people will even add crumpled KitKats to their frozen yogurt much in the same way they might add sprinkles.

Anyway, you guys get what I'm saying. I basically think it was a bad idea to name the latest version of android "KitKat". Key Lime Pie is classier.
They call these organisms the "Problematica."
Not AFAIK, but reading on a front-lit Paperwhite is a totally different experience from reading on an actively-lit tablet. I regularly read in the dark in bed, and I have no problem with it at all. When I read on my Nexus 7, I use the inverted scheme, but on the Paperwhite I just set the lighting to a comfortable level and off I go.
Nope, nope nope nope nope. Authy's latest "innovation" where bluetooth on the host can grab a new code from your mobile device provides a direct link between your two factors (reducing them to one). I don't think their team understands much about the problem they're trying to solve and they seem to be watering down the security of the product to attract new users instead. DUO and plain TOTP are really the only ways to go.
BTC in and of itself has no answer for the situation of not trusting the merchant. However, merchants typically do business with many customers, don't need anonymity, and have an interest in maintaining good reputations. None of these conditions obtain for the customer in the general case, and this asymmetry explains why all merchants that take BTC are paid before delivery.

Those who need to use a credit card, will.

I don't think the agency model was bad per se, it's just that all of the publishers decided to have the same prices with the agency model, which made it very unlikely that there wasn't price fixing, since with an agency model you're supposed to compete like in the free market, and vary prices.

I don't think they would've had any problems if they priced them at $10, $8, $3 and so on. But of course the greedy publishers would never do something like that. They wanted to use the agency model so they can move the prices upwards, instead of downwards.

I agree that Skype's protocol may be terrible. But you cannot state that obscurity didn't help. "No one" is even able to connect to Skype, let alone break it, at this point.

Funny, Amazon is becoming quite like Wal-Mart, but we don't complain. When Wal-Mart comes to a town, the stampede away from the old shopping areas to the new Wal-Mart is alarmingly clear. However, with Amazon, their brick and mortar competitors are slowing fading away like apparitions as they are outmoded by new technology and trends.

Further, with Amazon we don't have to notice the low paid hordes that run the machination as these Morlocks are now in some unknown warehouse out of view toiling away to mail me my case of toilet paper so that I don't have to leave work early to purchase it through direct human contact.

Whilst the way Amazon has been doing business is very distasteful (and I was on Apple's side in the recent DOJ trial), I can't see a problem with this offer and in fact am very pleased that a company has finally offered it. The majority of consumers are unlikely to purchase both an ebook and physical copy of the same material, so offering a slight increase in price for both seems like a win for everyone.
> Words can and often do have multiple appropriate meanings.

You seem to greatly overestimate our ability to distinguish among different word meanings based on context. The meanings are not all appropriate when they conflict. I first discovered this conflicting meaning of "Caucasian" when discussing something with a Polish friend. Unlike me, he did not default to the popular American meaning of "Caucasian". That led to us misunderstanding each other for a few minutes. "Indian" has caused me enough headaches online. I'll reiterate: not everyone defaults to popular American (mis-)usages.

Leave aside the matter of popular usage for the time being. Do you also think that if population geneticists were to use all these conflicting meanings, it would cause them no problems at all?

I hope my explanation also disabuses you of the notions that I'm "[insisting] upon only a single meaning for each word" or trying to "rule out all words with spurious etymologies". Don't worry about me having a considerably poorer vocabulary; I do extremely well on most tests. When I write, people may have trouble understanding my point, but it's never been because I used to wrong words. Addendum: if it were to turn out that I have used the wrong words, I'd learn, and correct myself.
I would have wished for more details - or rather, more features. When they talk about a better light, this is hopefully a more even light across the surface. For the "old" Paperwhite, the LEDs at the screen's bottom had a visible "aura" (no pun intended). The first production series were notorious for their color-shaded light (rather than being pure white). There seems to be room for improvement.

A 25% faster CPU is probably fine, however: what this device needs is a tad bit more RAM.

Otherwise, this doesn't make a great improvement. What that "better contrast" means remains to be seen.

As a Kindle hacker, I'm interested in what they did with the bootloader part. The Paperwhite is the first device since the Kindle DX(G) that cannot be put into "USB downloader" mode where you can re-flash the software. Given that even the original software is buggy and prone to get corrupted, that seems to be quite bad design - they can't easily refurbish units. Maybe today's pricing margins don't allow this anyway, though.

As for competing with the Kobo flagships, this is not an impressive new device.
The problem is not with the way of asking the question.

Have you ever tried building a hackintosh? If you don't have just the right hardware, the whole thing hard-crashes. It doesn't even boot with fallback drivers. It just says "nope, not what I expected, goodbye." Additionally, it only works on non-Apple hardware due to the efforts of a homebrew community - out-of-the-box OS X just plain won't run.

The fact that Windows XP would boot into an at least marginally-usable state on random hardware puts it lightyears ahead of OS X in that regard.

I've been running various flavors of Linux machines for 15 years now, as well. I'm quite intimately familiar with the driver woes there (wireless drivers still basically never work out of the box on $LINUX_DISTRO), but again, it's so far ahead of OS X in that regard, it's not even funny.
Your Code is Wrong
I think it's an interesting move, but not a "phenomenally important move". If I like print books but not ebooks, how does this affect me? It doesn't - not in the least. If I like both, I'm sort of happy - "Uh, I guess that's cool." I'm struggling to think of the person who needs both a printed copy of a book and an ebook version. The only person I can think of is someone with a textbook/learning book - you read the print version (that's why you bought it) and you use the ebook to quickly search and have at your fingertips. But for fiction? I can't see how this helps.
Good advice. Indeed it looks like changes to the open source Google Authenticator app dried up in late 2011:

It was not that unusual to "hand assemble" programs, as it was not that unusual to remember the codes.

Yeah, I grew up with 6502s, too.

You'll think I'm weaseling out here, but "hand assembly" isn't what I was talking about.

I feel the original comment implies that some people, intending to write significant machine code, sat down with BASIC and started typing in DATA statements. And I don't think that happened to any significant degree.

As in the case of the "programming environment" under discussion, machine language routines force-fed into BASIC DATA statements were the output of another tool or process -- whether assembled by hand or by machine -- and were an intermediate form that was never intended to be editable.

Or perhaps, "I can't control nearly anything anymore, so I'm going to get super focused on those few things I still can control, like my child's vaccine schedule."

People have spent decades now having their lives turned upside down by forces they're told they can't control: market movements, giant corporations, unresponsive political systems. Rather than pushing back and trying to assert some control over those things, which would require collective action, they focus inward instead on those things in their lives that they know they can control. It almost doesn't matter if their interventions there make things better or worse; it's more about giving the feeling of being In Charge.

It's like the CEO of the failing company who spends all his time micromanaging the colors on the company Web site home page. He can't give an order that will turn the business around, but he can give an order to change those colors. Which makes him feel like he still has some control over the future, even though he really doesn't.

Hmm, I always bought the Kindle editions because physical books are a pain in the ass to read. Before the Kindle, I even resorted to a WinCE device (built-in backlight, easy rotation for any position). Kindle Paperwhite is simply the best reading experience I've ever had in my life.

The fact I could get a paper version doesn't even factor into my decision. Actually, the price rarely factors into the decision, as the difference is usually only a few bucks anyways.
