There isn't a great story for dropping one more device - the phone. And that story is quite unlikely since you wouldn't want to carry your tablet with you on a night out, etc. I could see myself using this and dropping my phone if I never did things like out of band experiences. I'd eventually have enough situations per year where I wanted my phone, not my tablet, that I'd end up with a phone - but maybe I'd live with a 3-5 year old phone for that...

The wife would not like to see the tablet around 100% of the time since, with LTE, it'd be a physical extension more than PC's and the phone are now.

There are always enough jobs. There aren't enough jobs that people are willing to do for the money others are willing to pay. If I knew someone near me was living on <$1/day, I would raise their pay to $5 to do something mundane. If that person could find 15-20 of me, they are above the poverty line. My standard of living has gone up and so has theirs AND they now can circulate that money to others in their service - and so it goes on.

The problem isn't a lack of jobs, it's the draining of capital flow that happen when the monetary system dries up. Whether you believe that to be unfairness or just some players being so adept at the game... that doesn't matter.

The ball needs to move or people who want to play the game will be sitting out. If the ball is kept moving, even artificially, anyone who wants to play will get to play. The only ones left out would be willingly out or mentally/physically unable to play at all.

Right now, we let the game rules be such that some smart shits helped some lucky shits collect the ball and now the dumbshits think the pile of "money" is worth something when not in circulation. Look at all my symbols of currency! Doesn't matter if it's dollars, metals/commodities, or the butcoin... without a functioning-thriving ebb and flow of currency, everyone is poorer.

Spend like death with 0 is the goal. Don't take on debt or get greedy. We'll all live better.

I wonder what it smells like. Does it get happy or sad?

Oh man. I just got my employer to pay me in bitcoins instead of dollars. I'm sure this will blow over and the good times will roll again. Just everyone be cool and stuff.

Which is also when we can start hacking it for fun and profit.

Jailbreak device, steal fingerprints, spoof purchasing with valor!!

I'm sure they've put many hours and much thought in to this, but it won't be nearly enough.

Says the guy with a 'strategic design' firm... Bullshit player lobbing bullshit claims at bullshit.

Maybe he's A/B-ing some secondary bullshit article to see what can get better rank on HN. What's the best link bait for placating boredom and wasting attention on derivative industries suckling at the teat.

Does this article need to exist? Who is this preaching to?

This screams of... did you not realize how unimportant you've become?

This game is equally well-played with all the places we like to bomb. Watch it.

"Online quotes are vacant appeals to authority. I wish they would stop doing it to me." - Scott Kim

Such a quote is not a talisman. Focusing on the good coming from irrelevant pursuits is confirmation bias and applying such a quote broadly is a slacker's crutch. Let's look at all the semi-self-serious stoners, punks, drunks, libertarians, etc. contemplating the irrelevant... accomplishments? Only if we want to say "do no harm" is better than what they'd do with a bit more ambition.

because your time is worth less than your money. we are fully descended into the first level of mediocrity.

I think I must be getting time-trolled. People come up with ideas to deliver me 5 minutes of hate on a Monday morning.

Let's put together cheap things to waste massive amounts of time in the pursuit of crap, disposable techno-folk-art. Thank goodness the bombing starts right after football kicks into high gear.

Can't hover with touch.

"Growth Hacking": It's not SEO sliminess, we swear.

Great. Year+ old. Thanks for Hacker -> News <-

Sorry. The analogy breaks down. Once you fork a government, there really isn't a mechanism to submit a pull request.

Anyways... No, you don't work within the system. You can't move fast enough to grassroots the elimination of funding for CIA and NSA and ancillary groups within military and war contractors. Any amount of traction will fail since there would be an asymmetrical and tactical-heavy process. You will lose against the financial and political interests of the ruling class. If the financial and political ruling class sees such a crowning jewel get it, they will FTFO and see it as a portent for things closer to their own power. The intelligence groups are the necessary brain to the necessary brawn that keeps the geopolitics in line with their bottom line.

The chasm between rich and poor is getting so far in the US that this is the beginning... you can't trust the poor. There's too many of them!

This, this, this.

You can't let yourselves lose a power war by wasting all your time losing tactical battles. It's a tragedy if we all spend any time trying to protect our LOLs and OMGs to-from each other. If you are working on means for tracking behavior and extracting value (monetary, political, etc.) you are doing something less good than you could be.

Don't get caught by rope-a-dope when you could just cut funding for all this. We don't need protection from 20 terrorists who can kill 3,000 people. We can deal with them together. Somehow (fear, greed, stupidity?) we've lost our collective front. We need a 'We' now.

When Bush and some war-nat-resource-industry profiteers stack the deck, it's awful, but expected. At least the actions are rational. At this point, it's pretty obvious (not that it hasn't been for 50+ years) that we have a problem. The organizations at the heart of this are willing to act outside the spirit, if not the letter, of US law. The political factions riding power act outside the spirit, if not the letter, of our law and founding documents.

Our government is not behaving towards the world or our own citizens in the way that inspired generations to come here to build a better life for themselves.

The baby boomers frittered everything away. Lazy asses. Now, it's time to make amends. It's time to FORK THE USs REPO!!!

That's it Schlage. Time for 2-factor authentication key-rings.

Schlage Master Security (SMS) "Turn the key, type the text"

When your intelligence and security services don't know what quinoa is, you're in trouble.

Then legalize those as well... Treat addiction. Educate and inform instead of scaring and prohibiting. Instead of the boogey man and crapping bricks of money to build more jails, paying lawyers and DEA, provide safe guidance in drug use.

Pay for the the treatment industry and you will get recovering addicts and fewer cartels.

Pay for the punishment industry and you will get criminals and cartels.

"in your choices lies your talent..."

Who has told people to stick investor-repellent soundtracks IN EVERY DAMN start-up-beggar campaign? That same bland optimistically beige stuff. This one didn't have the plunky piano and/or guitar bits, but it's like someone ran out and said...

The words aren't enough. We need sound reinforcement to lend emotion. Hmmmm... Apple used quirky, plucky, minimal for their quirky, plucky, minimal industrial design product launches... I KNOW! I want people to think I'm a quirky, plucky, minimal start-up that puts stinky color stickers on people!!!

I love good frozen eats, so I can hope hers is good and can be part of a movement that pushes quality at scale so that US ice cream gets to where Europe is (quality at scale and optimal quality with regular availability)... The fawning contextualization and link bait headline - damn you internet.

Ingredients will be limiting factors since some preparations can not / should not be done in the mixing step and post-freeze manhandling of this soft stuff is wasted time - melt is death.

Traditional hard ice cream has a post-mix hard freeze time of 48 hours and some great preparations, like parkerhouse and butter pecan, just wouldn't render well. Not every flavor should turn out like a Dairy Queen Flurry. Not every texture should be mostly indistinguishable from a lumpy frozen custard.

She is perfecting ice crystallization but pawning off the wider challenges of the product. I hope her efforts don't create a limiting view of the cream-based frozen treat experience.
