Similar precision can be achieved by using GPS coordinates with four (10 m accuracy) to five (1 m) decimal digits, sometimes even fewer depending on location as you don't need trailing zeroes. The coordinate system is old, ubiquitous,

I do hope your tablet works at least as well as devices in store (after finishing with updates :) ).

I think it's easier to add "constraints" to existing WYSIWYG apps, than to create something from scratch. Like, take MS Word and enforce using only styles (no inline formatting), no more than 1 consecutive space and line brea

Once we go beyond plain text editing, WYSIWYG becomes quite useful. E.g. even a simple table looks ugly in wiki[1]/markdown[2] format, and manually aligning columns with pipe characters is painful and time consuming. Then there are ima

> Russians don't use Facebook and Gmail huh? Gmail/FB and local alternatives (yandex/vk) take about the same market share. Russia has it's own NSA (SORM-2), so I'd stay away from it.

Won't using UTC globally be enough? Converting to decimal time will render most current time-aware devices obsolete, from wrist watches to microwaves to airport terminal software. Also, scientific calculations rely on metric time[1], a
