A friend did something like this a while ago (thesis + code) called Redink: https://github.com/evlrbot/Red-Ink Maybe there are some ideas in there for you. I really wished it got completed.

80 proof alcohol is one of the better things you can spill on your computer. I spilled a glass of milk on my Titanium G4. Had to replace a bunch of components (back when you could pop out the keyboard) and it smelled bad.

I like the flat style of Apple scissor keyboards, but I won’t discount what could be done with a touch surface “keyboard”. Why worry about emulating the feel of a mechanical keyboard? I love swipe keyboards on phones; removing physical keys

#notallmedicalprofessionals, says my SO. Needles get thrown because they're cheap, and expensive instruments get sterilized. Boiling will kill the few things that can survive on stainless steel, like the virii that cause hepatitis. But

Not quite. 54% of the 135M American workers have a retirement plan.[1] That's 73M out of the ~250M American adults. Maybe you can call that the middle class. But point taken. To be less pithy, these individual shareholders have little

The rewards of which largely go to executives and shareholders, not rank-and-file employees? Sure, sounds like a business.

Not exactly. The US media is happy to sell us bad news that reinforces our own sense of moral superiority. What we don't like is non-partisan news that challenges it.

Yeah, this does that last millimeter in Z. It can do pressure, at least by virtue of knowing the force needed to move the keycaps and how far they've been pressed. An SDK has to be part of this. I agree that Linux support will be good

Yes. https://vimeo.com/258421095 It's possible to turn a single keycap into a touch surface with the mechanics of a TrackPoint, and mapping to VR. Look for a product this year.

Problem is, no one wants to buy a car with $10,000 build quality for $20,000.

Maybe instead of hoping that the forces of capitalism alone could make us rich and enrich society, we should've gone into government where we could lay out and fund these large-scale initiatives. It's happening, though—just sl

I don't think the rights to a 10-year-old design have much to do with what GoPro and their copycats are selling now. Knockoffs are everywhere, especially where the market-defining product has a large margin.

Because that's how you get Apple Health omitting a monthly bodily function that a majority of the population has. Diversity of perspective makes a better product.

Yes. Similar to my child, who's interested in the process of the "art" she's scribbling rather than the result, and forgets about it soon after. But more self-conscious, as the process of taking common photos is a social

Swappa. A less shady eBay specifically for phones and like gadgets (though as it gets more popular, we'll see if it stays trustworthy). I've bought three used iPhones and an Apple Watch, never a problem.

That's a broad assertion about a whole country. Plenty of us don't want any large institutions with unchecked surveillance power. Up to a point you can choose not to patronize such places, but where do we draw the line? I'm c

The writing was awkward, lecturey, and belaboring points. I get it, it's an essay wrapped in something else, but something less palatable, not more. Like sister post, I often find that my taste wasn't great when I was younger, bu

This was also the theme of Ishmael , a terrible book wrapped around an interesting idea—that the native Americans practiced the right balance with the rest of nature.
