They have been working on this for at least 6 years, possibly longer. They have created a unique display and display substrate that is fantastically thin.

A foldable phone would be great for PDFs. I often want to flip between pages quickly, which Kindles still can't do.

by jshevek 8y ago
Kindles are not phones, the parent said "I want a phone that I can read books on, and spend quality time with..." A foldable phone may meet his criteria, a Kindle would not.

I see nothing in the word choice of the grandparent comment to imply anger. Regarding "coming back", the poster may be in a different time zone or have an abnormal work / life schedule

I agree with you regarding the specific bikes I've personally experienced. But if I'm doing a blind "riding effort" test and am not allowed to lift the frame by hand, I doubt I could differentiate between all the contrib

It seems less distasteful to me if you at least put that word your are quoting in quotation marks.

Hiking and camping in cold weather can be an extremely effective weight loss strategy. If done with good nutrition, enough sleep, proper gear, it can even be a healthy weight loss strategy. I'm surprised no one seems to ever discuss th

It does not mean exactly the same thing as decentralized. It is true that it is not fully centralized with one party controlling everything, but it is also not fully decentralized with each user running their own server. Instead, multiple s

> When corrected for all factors there is no pay inequality. This just isn't true, but I think the problem here is a semantic one. It is true that the more finely tuned your analysis is, the less reasonable it is to conclude that se

Absolutely. Self reported data like this is nearly worthless in a serious discussion about policies and their consequences.

Which characteristics do you consider distinctive? I think of capacitive touch with no keyboard, but such phones did exist. Costs for those kinds of screens had been coming down before the iphone launched. It was obvious we'd see more

For me personally, I would try to talk about the specific issues and describe them, as you did in the second part of your comment. I understand there is a definitely place for using a simple phrase to characterize a larger pattern of inequa

Yes, I'm surprised the mods even allowed something so contrary to respectful dialogue. Calling a well considered position a 'bingo square' is not just trivializing in the extreme, it reads like flamebait.

The phrase strikes me as hyperbolic, but I agree there is a real problem underlying it. My point was that people should base their opinions on CHS' claims on her evidence and arguments, rather than who she associates with.

Thank you for offering this. This is far more helpful than a truly anonymous system.
679.
by jshevek 8y ago
I have trouble imagining truly complete anonymity being helpful. This is an invitation to abuse the system. Abuse could result from personal conflicts and office politics, or even people who wish to undermine the system itself by entering

How are you defining "pay inequality" while claiming it isn't real? If I interpret "pay inequality" as "the average pay for women ages 20-60 is less than it is for men 20-60 in the US in 2018" then I'

I took that sentence idiomatically, to mean something like "the obstacles have been reduced by at least an order of magnitude", since it's never literally true that literally anyone can write some software.

I would agree that democracy works better the more informed the voters are, however the very idea of taking steps to discourage 'voting while ignorant' is highly controversial in the US. We have a history of disenfranchising vote

I agree that this is not 'user error'. I would say its a 'poorly made interface', but bargl is right. Your initial claim was: >If it's user error, there should be reports of votes being switched both ways. Bargl

I was responding to a very short post by coding123. My point is that the free movement of people within Europe may have been a necessary condition for brexit, but it was not a sufficient condition. The free movement of Europeans did not le

Only after an influx of economic migrants. Without that influx of migrants, I don't think most of the pro brexit people would have been concerned about the free movement of people within Europe.

The people who think "hate speech" should be deplatformed are actively seeking to stop the discussion from happening.

by jshevek 8y ago
This is a good example of why free speech is necessary. I've always considered myself a strong supporter of "net neutrality". Yet there were instances in the last 5 Years where the policies or positions labeled by many, part

We already have laws that deal with explicitly inciting people to violence. So called "hate speech" generally is not an explicit endorsement of violence.

(Edit: I agree with everything else you're saying.) Is the difference between the First Amendment and the moral principle of free speech really that nuanced? It seems to me one has to be thinking strictly in terms of a single country,
