You might be thinking of the Boox Note line of devices. The Remarkable runs a custom Linux distro, not Android.

Not sure about the UK, but any kind of insecure or temporary housing is counted for the US - including people living on couches.

$500 stationary bikes are crap. Apple Fitness is only slightly cheaper than Peloton standalone - $10 vs $13 - so I don't think that would be a factor for many people. The main drive of Peloton if you aren't buying their bike is th

We know that removing traffic calming devices causes faster and more reckless driving. Poorly designed streets in high-density areas tend to rely on heavy traffic as their primary means of traffic calming. The pandemic could also separately

Renewables are already cheaper - solar in the US is the cheapest form of energy in the world. The remaining challenges are improving batteries for storing it, and continued panel efficiency to reduce the amount of space needed for generatin

That's even in the FAQ: But really, I’ll get something, right? No, we’re not even taking your shipping address. All we have to offer is nothing.

It's not storage that's expensive with glacier, it's retrieval costs. If you pull data down too quickly its conceivable that it could add up to thousands. In addition to the retrieval fee you have to pay for data out which is

You don't pay for a specific device. You pay for unlimited runs using 1 device, but that device could change each run. So its sort of akin to leasing without an option to buy.

Those are awesome and I'm sure well-deserved jumps. However, you definitely have not maxed out on the pay scale, especially if you're in SF/NYC. To quote patio11: > Pick a number, any number: somebody does a lot better tha

Do you have a source for that number? I've seen recent estimates of about 2.5-3.5 million Bitcoin users, but that's the global total. I have no idea how you could filter that down to just U.S. users.

This is really awesome! I've been passively looking for something like Vault for a while, can't wait to start integrating. I just finished tossing together a Chef cookbook to get Vault installed/configured up to the init&#x2F

Coinbase is hosted on AWS in the us-east-1 region; this makes co-location incredibly cheap and accessible. The specific availability zone isn't publicized, but it would be trivial to do latency comparisons between the zones and figure

Not any frequency, the radios have physical limitations that only allow them to transmit on a small range of frequencies. They can certainly cause interference outside of the bands they were designed to operate on, though.

Storage is a little different since there are some things you can reveal about files while keeping them private (filetype, size, last modified time) which are relevant to providers. Email is much more difficult, with the exception of the se

That's not viable. First, Google's business is built around data. Having unreadable emails kills half the features in Gmail as well as their targeted advertisements. No money and a less useful product means they go out of business

There are easter eggs in many of the crucial services on the Internet. The HTTP status codes are the first that come to mind. After all, what's the point of running a massive service if you can't have fun with it?

Isn't that just a needlessly complicated version of a stock grant, instead of stock options? What benefit would this have over negotiating for a stock grant instead?

If I remember correctly, the RethinkDB team opted to match their in-house version numbers with public releases. So the 1.x releases would be more comparable to 0.x releases for other projects, and 2.0 would be considered stable and producti

Switching SSH to any other port is a good idea as it will reduce the random attacks against it. Sure, those drive-by attacks are pretty weak and not much of a threat against a hardened configuration and the real attackers will find the new

$720/mo is solely for the instance. Add in the cost of traffic (Softlayer appears to give you 5TB, so let's use that) and you're up to $1463/mo.

Absorption is directly correlated with frequency, yes. Their 2km mile is probably a lab condition free-space number which will never even come close to being reached in the real world, especially in urban areas. This could be useful to a te

Once you add in a proper confidence interval, 17 responses on a yes/no question is enough to make decisions like this - as long as you know in advance what your target numbers are. The downside of the small sample is that your margin is goi

You wouldn't get $1k a month in equity. First of all, you can't ignore interest as its a huge part of what you pay on a mortgage. Depending on your down payment and rates, you could end up being over half the cost of the actual property in
