i love that reddit thinks male feminists are all white knights.

actually, they probably think that any man who thinks of women as anything more than sex objects are being white knights.

then they wonder why women wont gently caress 'em. makes u think.

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

And there are other places where it seems like iOS just doesn’t know how to deal with Pebble: at first my phone seemed convinced that Pebble was actually a Bluetooth headset, and tried to route call audio and Siri to it. The music player controls worked fine with every app I tried, including Music, Spotify, and Rdio, but sometimes the track info displayed on the Pebble didn’t update.

These are all fairly minor irritations, though: once you get the Pebble up and running with your iPhone, it works perfectly,

the pebble, once you ignore all the faults it works perfectly!

Pebble claims the watch will run for about a week on a single charge, and while I didn’t have enough time to test that, I never once worried about the battery. Part of that was simply that there’s no battery indicator on the device — you’ll get a low battery warning, but otherwise you simply don’t know. It’s liberating, in the sense that being ignorant of death frees you from fear. Will you see a clock the next time you look at your wrist, or will you see the dead plastic talisman of a society shattered into pieces by information overload? Chances are you’ll see a clock.

As for the screen itself, I would call it just okay: Pebble calls it "e-paper," but it’s really a 114 x 168 "transflective" LCD that’s designed for watches. It’s functional, but ultimately it’s a low-resolution black and white LCD, and low-resolution black and white LCDs are not renowned for their beauty. It’s also covered by a curved plastic lens that can reflect light in weird ways — it’s not a huge problem at all, but you’ll notice it from time to time.

The screen itself always has content on it, whether it’s the time, the music player, or a notification, and it’s fairly readable in daylight without the backlight on. But the backlight makes a big difference: when it’s off, the screen is roughly black and white, in the same way a Nook or Kindle screen is roughly black and white. But incoming notifications and particularly fast movements trigger the backlight, which adds an unexpected bluish tint to the screen. It works fine, but there’s no way for it to feel super-premium if the screen looks cheap — the experience here is fundamentally all about the display, after all. I hope Pebble finds a better part the next time around.

I still have not received the 500 kickstarter. Unless it is just sitting on an amazon account waiting for me to claim.

Thanks for the job offer Proteus. I have an internship in DC with the department of homeland security within their cyber division over the summer. I signed an agreement with the government to work for a year in exchange for a full ride.

Securities and Exchange commission also invited me for a job in their DC office. The job would be half the time on the stock exchanges in New York and Chicago, then half the time in their DC office. Basically doing IT audits on the large investment houses.

Copywrite on wolfram? No way. They made their API for a reason right? I am showing them as a search result, plus I include the source link. Doesn't that make it fine? A better way to show search results in my opinion. I am nothing more than a search engine providing the best information available. Wolfram also contains additional information on their website that does not generate on the statpedia search. Wolfram will make money in clickthough ads with statpedia. They already have it.

Statpedia should think about profit sharing with these back links to searches like wolfram. Wolfram displays an ad between seeing it on statpedia, and being directed to wolfram. All these individual stat companies showing their statistics on statpedia can make money.

if they had actually tried to go to production with e-ink screens they wouldn't have been able to afford it and most of their stupid stuff that already doesn't really work would have worked even worse so lol.

its funny too because like one of their first demonstration videos was clearly using transflective lcd but being referred to as e-ink, think that got taken down eventually tho.
