$2373.00 for March 1st till March 31st in Miami and $1650.00 for Ubud (Bali) seem quite expensive.

What also seems a little strange is that his blog has a members only section with special "deals" like book excerpts for which you need to sign up.
Never saw that on a personal blog, I might be mistaken, but on first glance it seems like its more of a business than just a personal blog.
This plan for Manhattan will obviously only stop people with low financial power from driving, although they might already have paid for these roads via taxes and duties.

He also mentions that for some people solutions to immediate problems are more relevant than constant learning via weekly screencasts. I hope he finds a way to offer these customers something, for example by selling course packages for a reasonable price, like all the recent „Vue.js with Rails“ screencasts as a package for XY$.
Overall GoRails is a great ressource for Rails developers, Chris Oliver seems to be a decent guy and I wish him best of luck with his projects.
Isn't it just like the Reading List feature of Safari (or other Browsers) only more open (syncs with various devices, even some eBook readers which I think is quite nice). Also its owned by Mozilla[1].

Just yesterday I wanted to order the new Kindle Oasis because I think the hardware is perfect (good to hold, physical buttons, …) but was told by a coworker just before ordering it can‘t open .epub files.
Edit: Thanks for all the tips about .epub + Kindle. I just found out that there also is an option to install Software like KOReader[1] if one wants to go the Jailbreak route.
As a customer, you can order from any Retailer and return within 14 days without giving any reason, as we have a special "Fernabsatzgesetz" (Distance Selling Act).
Nearly every Retailer offers free returns and above 40 Euro purchase value, returns even have to be free of charge.
Many Retailers offer more than 14 days, 30 days is nothing special and some like Zalando (a Zappos clone) even offer 100 days of free returns.

I use this with NeoVim and it works perfectly.
From Wikipedia:
'The functions can be accessed simultaneously to provide what the manufacturer calls "12 functions": steaming, emulsifying, blending, precise heating, mixing, milling, whipping, kneading, chopping, weighing, grinding and stirring. Several of these differ only by the speed of the motor.'
I read about that neat productivity boost that also reduces the strain on your left hand a lot in a blogpost which "sold" this idea as "this is how VIM was intended to work" and I really love it. Useful even for normal terminal combos like Ctrl+C.
Only downside is, once you get used to it, you just can't go back ;-)
What astounded me most was that nearly none of the established solutions offers a simple way to just cache these requests until when the device is online or any other simple ways to get such basic stuff working when offline/the connection is bad.
Generally speaking: In early 2017 its still way to hard to get very basic stuff on native (let alone web based) mobile apps working offline. The whole offline-first movement still has a lot of educational work to do.
I was one of the first customers to get one and used it to play through Portal 2 (which was bundled with it) and really liked the experience. Playing a little bit Civ 5 in between was also good.
After that I sold it (even with a small profit) because it felt cheap but mostly because it lacked a rechargeable battery and headphone jack, both of which the Xbox One controller has (and every modern controller should have).
I would buy one if they shipped it with a rechargeable battery, headphone jack and a build quality comparable to the Xbox One controller (which is really gread imho) for around the same price.
The author mentions in another post why he is done with Apple after his 2013 13" MBP and states he has no use for the Touch Bar. Thats fine, just get the Pro without the bar and with physical function keys.
The build quality of other laptops just isn't on par with Apples. Greg Koenig and many others have analyzed why Apple has a tremendous edge over other vendors when it comes to building computers and gadgets from aluminum[1].
Also if your are used to macOS, its perfect integration of hardware and software, its polish and many of the very nicely crafted ("made with ︎love") 3rd party applications, it might be very hard to switch to a decent Linux distro, let alone Windows.
It may be wise to first try the switch on your current Mac, inside a Virtual Machine …

Any workarounds for this?
This includes irrelevant sextapes.
Also if there is a greater good at stake (for example the security of a nation) its questionable if the public needs to have access to every intimate detail, that often just contribute to humiliating the person in question.

After developing your application for a while, check in the application together with the Gemfile and Gemfile.lock snapshot. Now, your repository has a record of the exact versions of all of the gems that you used the last time you know for sure that the application worked. Keep in mind that while your Gemfile lists only three gems (with varying degrees of version strictness), your application depends on dozens of gems, once you take into consideration all of the implicit requirements of the gems you depend on.
This is important: the Gemfile.lock makes your application a single package of both your own code and the third-party code it ran the last time you know for sure that everything worked. Specifying exact versions of the third-party code you depend on in your Gemfile would not provide the same guarantee, because gems usually declare a range of versions for their dependencies.

You can also easily navigate it with your cursor keys though.
