"Run powerful apps and the latest games. Pixel C has an NVIDIA X1 processor and loads of graphics horsepower. Under the hood, you’ll also find over 10 hours of battery life to keep you going strong."

How much graphics horsepower does ChromeOS needs? On the 10 hours of battery life, I would have expected more for a, more or less, one application OS.

Edit: Oh, did not know it was Android. Thanks!

Why so expensive? What kind of requirements do you have? I buy my SSL certificates for around $10 a year.

I am not sure it can be called an "art" nor "self-preservation." Not even sure about "self-mummification" (http://io9.com/the-gruesome-and-excruciating-practice-of-mum...). Yet, because the uniqueness of what's described, an interesting read for the curious.

Can you elaborate more about tilde? Is there a webpage?

Do you have this code on GitHub? Would love to take a look!

Please excuse my ignorance. Is Node required for this to work?

My Jekyll install (https://collantes.us/) is also minimal. I truly love Jekyll, and the flexibility that presents: add post (.md file), commit, done.

I think it relates to the JavaScript used, and limitations imposed by the web browser.

You need to run it from a web server. Open a shell on the root directory and run `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888` on it. Browse to `localhost` on 8888.

Am I missing something, or there is no link to the claimed $1M bounty "press release?"

I have been on Zerodium page, and there are no indications that this has happened. Vice.com says really nothing, other than repeating what the bounty entails, and that some "unknown group of hackers" did it.

See: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=the%20machine%20stops&sort=byP... (the many "The Machine Stops" entries on HN)

I really do not know.

That matters and helps little to a regular user. If you want to access the data from the AWS web interface, or any other client (Transmit, etc.), you are out of luck if you use Arq.

Not being proprietary is an advantage. Freeze is as simple as it can be.

Files you backup with Arq are only visible through Arq. This application seems different:

> "No proprietary encoding of archive descriptions. No proprietary encryption or compression features that would make it complicated or even impossible to use other clients."

That makes it different and more usable (at least for me), even if its behavior isn't "Time Machine" alike.

A trial or a demo would be nice.

In total there is a 13% fee (that includes Stripe fee). What is the real advantage of using your service? How do you handle the selling of pirated material?

Because using ASCII makes the documents more portable, more cross-platform.

There is not need to learn another version of Markdown, the diagrams are just plain ASCII and Markdeep supports the Markdown you know and love, plus more.

I think it is great, I love it!

Requires Java.

The worse advise. If anything, he should just keep away from Instagram and never go back.

Assuming Instagram is behind this, it is bad business to do that. Instagram by itself is nothing, it's users are what made the service, and showing a lack of respect for them it is their worse publicity.

This is powerful, thank you very much for sharing it.

Many, many excellent ideas there; thanks samsquire!

This is my favorite Google application of the day. I totally love it! Very clean, and fast (so far), currently uploading half of a TB. The Google Photos Backup is missing the OS X dark theme icon, but it is minor detail. Eagerly awaiting the iOS app.

I would rather like a flag one could easily draw by hand (like most flags). Not too fond of the color neither; if we want it to represent Earth, maybe a blue/green blend?

Interestingly enough, AdBlock (different from the one the article refers to) blocks 7 ads on that page.

Looks very nice.

Other than the concerns a closed source application carries, I worry about its longevity. I use gpg with symmetrical encryption to encrypt my files today. Not as GUI friendly, but as least I know I will die, and my files will still be of use. Encrypto looks great, but how long will it last? How long will it be updated? Are files encrypted with it going to last one or two generations, at least?

Not as good looking though. But it is true it might be easier.

Very nice! I wonder what took so long for something like this. With DodgerCMS anyone can have a website for pennies per month. Thanks!

It is not a bug that you have 200 GB on iCloud, upload all your 30,000+ photos and videos to it, and "optimized" it takes 60-70 GB on your desktop computer, plus your 16 GB iPhone, and 32 GB iPad are completely full.

It might be a bug that while importing your photos to the iCloud library, many fail to import for no apparent reason, and that when you try re-importing again end up with thousands of duplicates.

It might be a bug that all, web, desktop Photos.app, and mobile Photos.app get almost--to fully--unusable with a 120 GB library size.

It is not a bug that there is no selective synchronization, and/or one way synchronization, so I can synchronize photos from my mobile devices to iCloud without pulling down existing photos on iCloud to my mobile device.

I agree Photos.app in all devices, and the iCloud is not really viable unless you are a light user. This guy [1] has similar complains.
