I remember my father's palm Vx
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Palm Phone for Minimalists
I bought a palm pre when I was in infantry school and learned a week later I'd be assigned to a unit in Okinawa Japan where the phone wouldn't work. Cool device though.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on What is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve?

clSTophEjUdRanu··on Honda bucks industry trend by removing touchscreen controls
You'll often see screens surrounded on all sides by physical buttons. The screen can be updated and changed over time but the interaction is still physical.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Honda bucks industry trend by removing touchscreen controls
I'd argue that humans have evolved to physically manipulate their environment. Safety critical systems are the last place you want UI variation. Things need to be predictable and tactile to build muscle memory.

I think the phone they think is the next Google flagship is actually the 4a budget device.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Help Take the Fight to COVID-19 with BOINC and Folding@Home
I once caught wind that my professor gave extra credit in distributed systems class for BOINC points. I ran this constantly for years and then he didn't even give the extra credit.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on What If Andrew Yang Was Right?
I look at it from a selfish perspective. These "lowlifes" actually drag society down. It benefits me if they are helped.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on How do we stop people from blinding other drivers with aftermarket LEDs?
One of my friends laughs about blinding everyone in cars with his truck.

Staying culturally relevant is an overrated farce.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Discovering the brain’s nightly “rinse cycle”
I've always wondered why we need to be unconscious for our brains to recover? Seems like a huge weakness to let your defenses down for so long. And all animals do it! You'd think there would be a huge evolutionary incentive to find a workaround.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on The core memory inside a Saturn V rocket's computer
Why are you disappointed?
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Reddit has become a guide to personal finance
I feel like the widespread misunderstanding of tax brackets is used as a weapon.

Candidate X wants to tax you 60%!

clSTophEjUdRanu··on We need to take CO2 out of the sky – an overview of climate tech
Fusion energy and CO2 removal are my bet.

The limitless consumerism isn't as bad if all the products were created with power from green alternatives.

clSTophEjUdRanu··on Julian Assange was 'handcuffed 11 times and stripped naked'
It really bothers me how anyone who views Assange or Snowden as criminals on here get downvoted.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Early riser or night owl? New study may help to explain the difference
Anecdote: I was a night owl until I joined the service. Now I'm not in the service and I'm still not a night owl.

You can be what you want.

The Mullvad VPN app is written in Rust.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Math is an insurance policy
This is my thought as well. Just don't be the first one automated. We will either have figured out post-work society or we will face some sort of collapse.
clSTophEjUdRanu··on Which of these Amazon Prime purchases are real?
