These look really nice and I want to get one, but shipping to the US is $40. :/

As far as I can tell, Microsoft told nobody. A blog post and an email to OneDrive users would have sufficed, neither of which use telemetry or happened.

This is exactly what I use it for. When I'm ssh'd into a server without my vim config, I prefer to use nano simply because I'm so used to my own vim. Using any other vim config is actually difficult, especially since I'm not actually that knowledgable about vim.

Nano takes the cake in this situation. It's everywhere, it's easy.

Possibly ad revenue payed out to content creators?

The software market, the Internet market, the entire ecosystem, it's working because the price of entering is lower. This isn't because of lesser regulation or a lack of standards and oversight, it's because over the past decade it has become so easy for anyone with an Internet connection to contribute. Not necessarily make the next best software business, but contribute to open-source (a decidedly un-capitalistic idea), provide opinions and give insight, and share.

This ability for anyone to connect and share with thousands of other people exactly as we are now is exclusive to this internet platform. That is the driver of success, of innovation, of technology and future. Every other media, every other market, is prohibitive to newcomers. There's a reason that disrupting a market is so praised, because it is something most everyone who tries, fails.

On the Internet, in software, disruption is the name of the game. It's a brand new sandbox that anyone can play in.

Same here on Firefox for iOS. Both links show the "hacked" text.

I am "Lara" in this article's sense, and I love NPR. Being able to listen for any amount of time and still get news that I haven't heard before is nice. At the same time most of the segments I hear are interesting, heartwarming, or really sad. Nothing on NPR seems outdated, but maybe that's simply because I've grown up with it.

I can really see this being useful for any language.

I think anti-trust also requires a non-privately administered market. In Apple's App Store, they own the servers serving the app market, giving them control.

I don't think the government could force them to keep an app on their server and continue to serve it to consumers running their software if they didn't want to.

I don't think (not a lawyer) that they could do anything if you put a disclaimer that it is a parody of their "creative work."

That should allow use of slightly changed (LessAdsDailyMail) trademarks, and proper citations could handle the rest.

These were my thoughts entirely while reading the article. If I want a command line utility, I really don't want to install npm then mess with any problems with that. I want to simply 'brew install' everything like that and be done.

Sure, if I need the source of something for compilation or testing, i.e. 'pip install numpy', then having that handled by pip + virtualenv makes sense.

Besides that use case, brew should handle everything to reduce conflicts.

Mobile Firefox too.

In my experience, there are three groups of kids in high school, at least concerning future studies/employment.

One group maybe wants to do something because it pays well, with no motivation because they aren't passionate.

The next group is very passionate about one or two things, and have lots of motivation. However, they seem to view that as the only option, even though more likely than not it will change and shift.

The third group has motivation to do work that is interesting, but they have know idea what to specialize in and have a few things they don't want to do. They aren't necessarily good at it all, and it's overwhelming to think about plans for the future because of the open-ended nature of that question to them.

This is what I've observed. And of course, people change between these groups all the time.

I disagree about the pause button. It works equally well without context. This is anecdotal, but I have seen it successfully used in charades to mean "pause."

Now, your comparison to the hamburger menu does make sense, and I agree. However, the context for the hamburger menu might be "button that's alone" and it just means "menu." I can see that catching on.

That's assuming that the vast majority of employment can be automated away at a low cost at this point in time. Which isn't true. Even if it can be in the US or other developed countries, that in no way applies to everywhere.

I am desperately trying to get this to work with my pyenv-virtualenv anaconda installation, but I can't get it to work out.

I also tried setting the path the ~/.pyenv/shims/python, but that didn't work out either.

Very interesting: reading this on my phone, the header image moves with a parallax effect when the phone is tilted.

I know people that draw two circles, one on top of the other.

This is a perfect idea to make government more transparent. I couldn't find if anywhere in this website there were the regulations put in simpler terms. Allowing more people to understand them and not only access them seems like the way forward.

"We kill people based on metadata." - former head of the National Security Agency Gen. Michael Hayden

“metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.” - NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker

This seems very useful for schools, who both need lots of paper (still even now) and who need it only for a short time.

Schools have the space and resources for such a machine, and they could potentially save lots of money and paper that otherwise goes into the trash at home. It all depends on the costs of the system.

In this article, and apparently this happens a lot, jurors are not allowed to research the laws they are supposed to reach a verdict on. Also, the jurors cannot get the court transcript or ask the prosecution to repeat the charges.

How is this the best alternative? Why can't jurors learn what they are incarcerating for?

It's interesting to look at if this article is fiction or non-fiction. It is certainly amazing writing with a strong message, but seems to be so strange to be non-fiction.

Then again, I knew about some of this from the excellent Illustrated Guide to Criminal Justice, so I wasn't totally surprised.

In the end, does it even matter if it happened?

The big thing for non-login websites is the threat of the information being tampered with on the line. Someone could easily MitM your http connection and insert whatever they wanted into the website, making you think that website had said it.

It's more like pinning a photo on a pinboard you share with a group of friends. Mailing it would be like sending it to them directly.

I think hashtags are more of a way to share to a group, where as mentioning with @ is a driect way of communicating that you want to give them the picture.

This is because hashtags aren't owned by anyone, but usernames are.
