pinboard.in is a fantastic bookmarking service that will archive your bookmarked sites for you if you pay for the $39/year archival account: http://pinboard.in/tour/

There's a decent write-up of how to do this here: https://www.spinellis.gr/blog/20090805/

As you said, it largely relies on reverse engineering and bruteforcing Twitter's ID generation.

I share your complaints about 3rd party keyboards in iOS, but just a heads up in case you hadn't noticed: Google's Gboard recently added support for Dvorak and Colemak, and is by far the most stable/usable 3rd party keyboard I've used.

It almost certainly was -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-segment_display

Note quite what you're asking for, but a couple years ago Adobe demoed some voice/speech editing tech that's pretty impressive: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/11/adobe...

Google Trips seems pretty close to me: https://get.google.com/trips/

Sorry, I misspoke a bit there. What I was trying to point out was that

If you choose to enroll, that is when you waive your right to join any class action lawsuit.

Isn't true. Just by using the site to check, you're waiving your right to participate in a lawsuit, as expressed in the site's Terms of Use linked at the bottom:

This isn't true. Just by entering in your information to check if you're affected, you'll be enrolled automatically if you were indeed affected.

Really scummy behavior.

It switches tabs in most recently used order in Opera, similar to OS alt/cmd-tab behavior

"Buzzing" here meaning vibrating -- the iPads don't have vibrating notifications at all, or the required vibrating mechanism.

We use Sensu with the graphite plugins[1] for alerting based on graphite queries. It works quite well, but you do need to set up Sensu server – which is very straightforward in my experience

From your link:

The range that a two-way radio advertises is the range that the radio should get in "ideal" conditions. Ideal conditions are line of sight, such as from a mountaintop to a valley below -- no interference at all.

So what type of range can you expect from your radio? Usually half a mile up to two miles

For those wondering:

What makes the Nike Air Bakin’ such a sizzling story is the controversy that arose from the fiery logo on the heel; it was the word ‘Air’ designed in a fiery motif, but backlash from the Muslim community for its slight resemblance to ‘Allah’ in Arabic text forced Nike to recall the shoes and re-release with a basic Nike Air logo.

That's exactly what's in the linked PR...

Markdown support has been a common feature request for years, with many feature requests in their forums as well as entire blog posts from fairly prominent bloggers – just try googling "Evernote markdown support".

I've had the strong suspicion for a long time now that they simply aren't listening to these sorts of feature requests that don't tie into their enterprise/business focus – at least since about 2013.

Ha. From the end of that AMA:

I would never run for office, neither would I want to be in office, of any kind. I would rather drive a nail through my foot.

There's literally dozens of /r/ELI5 threads on this[1] that are useful:

Mind explaining the "eotech"/platoon sargeant being upset, for us civilians? ;)

Probably not quite what you're looking for (I'd like to know more about the documentary, too), but here's a 1h49m Youtube video of the author giving an overview of Platform Masters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzjW0xsW7_A

and the author's website:

It used to be significantly different:

... and how would they know "average casts per user"?

The Verge's review is also worth reading: http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/27/8661863/pebble-time-review...

I'm with bad_user. In the interest of mvp-ness, not showing this image at all (and not requesting these permissions) would have resulted in me installing the extension with no extra effort on your part (presumably.) As it is, I won't install this :/

It seems perhaps the NY Times has it out for Google recently:

From part one[1] (which I'd recommend reading):

Sometimes it will miss a number, as these phones aren’t 100% accurate, and there’s no way to know what you dialed, because there’s no screen. I know, how did we even manage to stay alive back then? If you botch a number, you’ll have to hang up and redial.

Does anyone remember this with rotary phones? I was pretty young when they were still in use, but I don't remember this being an issue.

For anyone else wondering about the use of "lampshaded", I believe HCIdivision17 is referring to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LampshadeHanging

News is exciting because I really don't know any other way to stream on-demand audio news into my phone (and car). Maybe there is already an app for that? I looked around lightly and never found anything.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but thought I'd point out NPR One is great for this purpose: http://www.npr.org/about/products/npr-one/
