MetaFilter too, in professional white. http://mefiwiki.com/wiki/MetaFilter

So a low-level low-pass filter would throw a nice wrench in this, right? I wouldn't really mind having most of my devices limited to 20Khz.

TBH, I don't entirely understand your point, so a reply is maybe out of order, butt ... :)

< The players in those markets

Wearable market = created by people who want wearables. Enhanced shoe market = created by portion of people who wear shoes.

And they can't rent bikes, create a locally-staffed concession area, sell tchotkes, and pull some $$$ out of the tourists? Tourists gonna tourist, and might as well beat them at their own game, and put the money back into trail infrastructure, and then take the cream off the top for local services.

This is one step closer to when I think wearables will turn an important corner: when they're commoditized as OEM parts that can be built into enhanced versions of things you already want. Rings, shoes, bracelets. Oh, and when people resign themselves to wait another 5-10 years for parting the workspace from the device form factor.

My third time reading this, and a new question popped into my head: Are there any volume adjustments (on software or hardware) that take into account the pain threshold curves? That is, volume adjustments that aren't flat, but that will attenuate the frequencies that will cause discomfort at the lowest volumes?

When there's a Latté ISO spec for Starbucks to comply with, or a Big Mac catches fire, then these will be directly comparable.

It would physically pain me to work at a company that sells defective equipment.

I'd like to see amazon just develop in-house testing for certain types of stock. Cables, power supplies...

I'd be fully ok with this if the kid in question was actually learning about "Equals Versus Equivalency," but all of my school experience says that's unlikely. I hope I'm wrong.

I read it as "There are people who work, make a moderate income, and don't have any specific physical or mental issues that would preclude them from being housed - but they don't, because the financial threshold is simply too high."

But yeah, it's a pretty useless sentence.

It's worth remembering that the behavior of the market is essentially influenced by the stigma, and subsequent banning of porn (and sexually explicit material in general, art or otherwise) in many TOSs. For that matter, I wonder how iTunes-type availability of porn would even affect spam.

Honestly I'm not really sure how this works - but uhh.. maybe the Fork 'n Go concept could be applied for more "out of the box" ease? (https://github.com/jlord/forkngo)

It appeals to me personally. My personal income in NYC is much higher than the average for the area I live in, and it seems to me that many younger people around me have aspirations modeled on those they see in popular media/instagram/youtube. Photography, sound production, graphic design, illustration... these are real, if difficult careers.

Fantastic. This also led me to find that the entire trilogy is available on the App store. Now all I need is "Continuum," and some grape Crush, and I can pretend I'm 14.

Indeed. My first thought was "Are tech companies trying to poach these folks in order to try and deconstruct what cues they're using, and/or to create a corpus of verified matches from low-quality source?"

I'm excited to see what the Motherboard Letters experiment turns up. I honestly can't recall the last comment section I read that added to the discussion. Aside from hot-button political or social issues with their associated vitriol, even technical videos or software reviews are cluttered with useless claptrap. Maybe I read the wrong sites. But when I was a heavier dead-paper consumer, I absolutely enjoyed the letters section of quite a few periodicals.

I think punting to social media is... uninvested. I enjoy twitter more as an index of links, rather than actual convo. Facebook, meh. It's facebook - a conversation mediated by an ever-shifting overlord that I don't care to participate in. But neither of them are lauded as interlocution par excellence, last I checked.

The big question for me is how the issue of engagement plays out. Comments update in realtime, letters assume you're familiar with the antecedent article.

Either which way, I think it's about time we saw more experimentation in this area.

(I'm glad I had the opportunity to read a page full of people projecting their own egos, conspiracies, and neurosis on this very article.)

From a "site-builder" perspective, I find this to be an excellent balance between high and low level interface. Perhaps less capable than something like webflow, but the learning curve here is a piece of cake. But unfortunately, the person who will feel freed by ease of use will likely be nonplussed at installation.

It's striking to me that here on HN, where there's rarely anything approaching consensus on software user satisfaction (IMHO), evernote is being roundly blasted. These feelings weren't formed in 2015 (I've been disappointed by it for years), and yet they continued to let it fester. (Shruggy guy)

NValt uses (a possibly nonstandard) markdown notation for checkboxes. So a search for unchecked would be "[ ]", checked is "[\]"

Bringing to mind... all of these apps should have the ability to lock the screen when they detect a strong shock, i.e. being knocked to the ground.

Such apps basically exist, in various permutations: - http://www.copblock.org/apps/ - https://www.aclu.org/feature/aclu-apps-record-police-conduct

But one more protocol on the stack with mac/windows/iphone/android clients is, IMHO, an entirely different ball of wax than a libre project with only a single platform under its belt. In my situation, the existence of mobile clients is clinch for actually pitching it to any org I participate in.

And yet so many people with aforementioned gobs don't. Stand-up guy is stand-up.

The Apple side of this is intriguing. I guess this is pocket change to them, but did they do this after reading about his thoughts and decision? Or was it simply cost-effective to batch return the money vs. reviewing and processing an unknown number of individual requests?

Oh, tots scam/plot/hijinx. Because everyone knows it's easy to game the system and become #1 in the broken thing that we call the app store :/

Assuming that one stores top-tier passwords (banking, primary email) in the password manager. Which is to say, yeah, 99.9% of users.

Here's a secret. Apple has never designed truly wonderful user interaction. But they have been unafraid to say "no," less horrible than most others, and opinionated. These discussions don't benefit from a false narrative of them falling from a grace they never held. (Mac owner from plus to pad)

Risk? The fact that these are legal settlements is exactly why this leaps directly into a distinct category from stuff like pay-day loans.

Well, anything with an RSS feed would be great. I don't know about others, but it's my preferred way to keep up to date on software that I use/am interested in. I do have recurring "check on [url] tasks" but eh.

This could be the seed of something fantastic, IMHO. I'm trying to gain some bulk, and was using the "leading" product (MFP), but stopped because their data is: absolutely filthy via redundant user-submitted info, oriented towards companies rather than simple fresh home-cooking, poor handling of units (should be agnostic with internal conversion), and has friction at every layer of the experience.

Even with basically no features, this is probably easier to adapt into something that I might use.

Part of the problem with calorie/nutrition tracking is that use-cases conflict. I guess this could either become more opinionated, have multiple opinionated structures built on top of it, or just stay lean.

Interested in seeing where this goes, would follow a dev blog.
