Awfully pricy, but I'm tempted. I've been through 3 generations of Roombas. They didn't work that well, but I'm a gadget freak.

This one seems more like a serious "vacuum cleaner" and not just a carpet-sweeper like the roomba.

Nobody ever said exercise more. (That may be bad advice for obese people too, because it will make them hungrier and they may injure their already strained joints). Plus, it won't help the environment. (That's the subject here!)

Just eat less!

Wow! So telling people not to overeat--to save resources--is the same as rounding up people and shooting them! You YCombinator people sure are nuts!

Yet you'll gladly tell people to drive less, or to change their lightbulbs to LEDs, things that could either greatly inconvenience people or cost money. Eating less is free!

You missed the point. The majority of Americans _eat too much_. Why can't they just eat less and save the planet?

America can reduce its carbon footprint by 5%, save 300,000 lives/year, and save about $400 Billion dollars a year without spending a nickel.

If the 66% of the American population that's obese or overweight would just stop overeating, all of the above could happen overnight.

Of course, it's not hard for them to use a different caller ID for each call they make...

I don't think there's anything to see here. Google now tags it as "safe." The mechanism worked; the website administrators removed the malware, and the warning was removed.

See! Everything works in a rational way. There's no conspiracy.

It's the Linux OS API. It can run Linux binaries. So I'm fine with the name

There were two things that convinced us to start using it, even for things like corporate blogs that had no login or user info:

1. Google saying it would help your page ranking

and

2. Free Letsencrypt certs

Amazon is the most impressive company, IMHO. I love my Echo, and I read on a "paperwhite" Kindle even though I have an iPad.

I think Amazon could take over the phone market. Just make a phone that is an "Amazon remote control" with shopping, music, and video streaming built in, combined with Alexa that "just works". (Or a color e-ink phone with no video support, but a long battery life.)

I fixed my MacOs in my post.

(For me it went MacOs, OS X, then Windows 10).

MacOs (i.e., Os9 and before) had special meaning for colons, too. I wonder what would happen for git on those platforms.

Edit: Apparently colon is _still_ a special character on Mac! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13298434/colon-appears-as...

They also used it as a "weapon", removing verification from people who had unpopular views.

Flash is built-in to Chrome. You'll have to invent another straw man.

In fact, I recommend Chrome to unsophisticated users (hi Mom!) who need access to flash content. I tell Mom to never install anything ever. (She's managed to get malware on her Mac, even though I keep reminding her not to ever click on anything that says "your computer needs updates", etc.)

You can go a long way without Ifs in a pattern-matching language like Prolog or Erlang, too.

It is astounding to contemplate that it's possible to type a series of English words which would be illegal to _possess_! Even if I was the only one to know about these words and, for example, kept them in a safe.

These could be IBM Mainframes that are EBCDIC based.

It's a big boost for .NET in general, too.

At the Gym I go to (a real, physical gym, not a Pokemon gym) we had people--grown adults who worked next door at LinkedIn--wandering around outside looking for monsters.

It's insane how popular this is.
