Grabbed a preorder, the Beige one seems like a legitimately good deal at 300 USD; and it comes with a spiral bound user manual!

For some reason this is not linking to what I expected… Edit: I think this is where you meant to link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/checkmate1500mini/retro...

Plenty of well-meaning laws have unintended consequences. Intent does not absolve being the cause of the effect.

Tangentially related, is this book worth the hype? I don't read a lot of genre fiction, but don't like to miss out on the exceptional (just finished and loved Flowers for Algernon, as an example). Edit: Sounds like an enjoyable, l

I don’t think the cost of fuel is the primary factor in travel decisions… it is almost always the cheapest option regardless. People are more interested in time and convenience, both of which become drastically less favorable the longer you

Personal sites are like the last bastions of free speech on the internet, you really want to censor that because it may offend someone who is voluntarily reading it?

We have a saying in the industry… IPv6 is an academic solution to an engineering problem. The reality is it’s just too damn complicated to implement and maintain at scale while also retaining compatibility with v4… which is never going to g

Reading literary fiction is such an enriching activity in life, I highly recommend it. If you don't know where to start (and you need to retrain your attention span), pick up an audiobook. I started with Jeremy Iron's reading of L

You may be onto something… sell strategic decisions by an AI cohort as a service, insure against the inevitable duds, profit.

As someone who is having kids, I am both curious and anxious about the world they will become adults into. I am not sure if it will be a world of economic opportunities due to the inevitable labor shortage, or a world of suffering due to wi

Also curious… in the US I don’t know any working professionals in my generation (millennial) that are counting on social security as part of their retirement planning. If it’s there, great - but if it’s not, not going to let it keep me from

Can you recommend a better one? I picked it at random when I wanted to explore literature, but it seemed to be cited often enough.

I agree, and in fact I did not start with Ulysses and do not recommend people do. I read 2-10 on the list, then Hamlet, then Ulysses - which I feel mostly prepared me for it. I did love it, but it is not an easy read, and took me the better

The full quote is allegedly "The purpose of education is to free the student from the tyranny of the present." ...I picked it up in Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death, but he didn't cite which work it came from. G

I am about a quarter of the way through Modern Library’s top 100 and it has been a worthwhile journey. It is “just” literary fiction but it is among the best humanity has produced. I have learned so much about the human condition, my abilit

> Judging by political positioning, cook’s donation to trump’s inauguration didn’t sit well with the fanbase. On the other hand, it may have saved his company billions on tariffs.

That’s a shame, solar panels bolted onto traditional roofs look so gaudy… solar roofs blend into architecture well.

Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death is probably worth a read. The problem is with the medium, and how it strips away critical information. Television stripped that information away from typography, TikTok strips away even more. I

This is so true. The most frustrating thing in the world to me is waiting for the UI to catch up to my actions… that should just never happen in 2025. Not only is it frustrating to wait, but as you elegantly stated it forces the menial task

I will always have a soft spot for Gatsby, it was my gateway drug into literature. I reread it every few years - the book is almost perfect, and short enough that you can get through it on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

The original pebble was almost entirely dependent on it's connection with the android/ios app. Given the increase in onboard processing capabilities, are there any plans to allow for a more standalone experience?

There is a book for this, aptly titled “You Should Quit Reddit”. It got me to quit, highly recommend it.
