I just got my physical copy via UPS, I'm really curious to see a teardown of what's powering the embedded screen & video.

Linus' whole schtick is cringiness, but I do enjoy his channel in general. I've never known if them to intentionally lie, and when they've been mistaken they make corrections.

I was similarly aghast. I don't think I love anything enough to punish myself like that.

I'm disappointed by the idea that all of my waking minutes should be devoted to producing value for someone else. Sometimes, I need some minutes to produce entertainment value for myself. Thus, internet comments.

Its the only actual town for miles in any direction. All those other dots on the map nearby are incorporated hilltops. If they have a gas station with a Hunt Bros pizza franchise, its a town. That said, our leaders spend any aid money we ge

In general, they blame environmental regulations rather than market forces. The area is full of urban legends about how the natural gas power plants are vastly inferior to coal fired plants, but they're being upheld by a cabal of evil

Well, at one time it stayed full of coal trucks. Not that I disagree with your point.

Nope! They aren't mutually exclusive, of course, but a lot of folk believe that they are, hence my comment.

In general, the fervor surrounding coal stems from the fact that for a long time it was the only industry where a person could bring home more than minimum wage, and see the decline of the industry as a personal attack. What the people real

Hadn't ever considered it, didn't know the power companies were crossing over like that. I'll definitely investigate further, thanks!

Our electric company is AEP, but our ISP is TDS. They're awful.

I haven't met any of their devs, but when our program began the owners came to speak to us. They're good people. A lot of times it seems people take it for granted that 'skilled/intelligent' and 'rural' a

DSL is what's available. Wireless is too susceptible to the terrain.

1mb 'broadband' service, offered as DSL, runs about 90$ per month, and that's our only ISP. One could get satellite that's faster, but satellite internet also has low data caps, and the cost scales out of proportion. The

I live on the most populous hilltop in Hyden KY. Our only ISP caps at 1mb, and its not terribly reliable. Satellite is of course an option, but the expense is prohibitive if you use a lot of data.

There isn't anywhere else I'd rather be. Before I joined a program in Hazard like the one mentioned in the article, I was in construction for 15 years, and I've been a lot of places. Appalachia is the best place though. We co

I live in eastern KY and there are a few programs like this one. In Hazard KY, another coal-bust town, I was accepted to a program to train force.com developers. Hold your scoffs please, we've learned a lot in the last few months, incl
