The title in the article (and subsequently on HN) seems to be terribly misleading. It's not a police station - it's a co-operation centre.

This seems super awesome and useful, under the assumption they ship. I have not tried anything else on the site, but put my name down on the waiting list for a pinebook around 6 months ago, and have yet to hear anything...

Having acquaintances and friends among all three, and being one of the three myself, it varies a lot, based on any number of factors (what type of each, government/private, exactly how long you've been working, country, specialisa

The article mentions the boondoggle with the census, but left out the equally/worse mismanaged saga with Queensland Health (which put IBM on a ban list of sorts for Queensland government projects). This is interesting, to say the leas

I've heard of this in other posts before, but can not personally say I've ever encountered this. I've searched domains on numerous occasions, gotten sidetracked, and when I returned a few weeks later to actually register the

Every time this topic comes up, I think of Nosedive (Black Mirror S3E1 [1]), and wonder how anyone can think this will end well. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive_(Black_Mirror)

This has been going on for almost 2 weeks now, and has spread to bananas, apples and pears (according to reports). One kid has been arrested for copycatting the original thing. There is a $100k reward being offered for information on the

I think GPs point was that it requires a full system/machine onto which you can install it, be it VM or bare metal (which doesn't look too involved, based on the documentation[1]), but that it won't work as/in a containe

I've recently reconnected with some friends, by way of a slack channel. The channel is exclusively meant for idle chat, and even there, if I ignore it for a day, I come back to 200+ unread messages, including actually mildly important

I can't find the links right now, but is this the same typewriter that was ripped quite badly in the media some months ago (I believe it was on kickstarter, or similar)?

What language/stack/field are you in? Any particular reason you prefer open source (considering Jetbrains' tools aren't)? What's your preferred platform?

I understand the physical/shipping portion of the ban, and why people would be redirected to amazon.com.au. Something that is substantially less clear, is how this impacts digital items, like Kindle books: - Can I still buy those

I just added my name to the BTO list. How long did you have to wait before they contacted you (and then before it shipped)? I can't seem to find anything about that on their site...
