Exacty! The build quality on this thing is out of this world. Any time I unplug it from the dock and use it in more of a laptop mode, I get little dopamine hits all around.

I got the 1080 screen for battery life considerations. Totally satisfied with it, however I haven't spent much time on retina screens.

the XPS I had felt like a laptop from the past, the X1 feels like a laptop from the future.

The XPS's keyboard would multi press, the touchpad didn't work great, the hinge made it difficult top open the screen, the speakers kinda sucked. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice laptop, but felt very over hyped. A death by a thousand cuts. I felt a bit let down from what I expected after reading a bunch of reviews.

On the other hand, when I finally got the the X1C, I couldn't believe that there was so little hype about this laptop. All I would ever see online is stuff about macbooks and the XPS line, nothing about the X1C.

The X1 is such a solid machine. The interface is completely uncompromised, yet it is so light, it feels like I've just got a spiral bound notebook in my bag when I'm carrying it around. Feels like a leap ahead, rather than two steps forward, one step back.

You can get traction on projects without running ads. Show your product off to relevant communities of people asking for feedback, etc. If people start buying, start considering ads.

On a tangential note, I recently switched from an XPS 15 to a X1 Carbon. The thinkpad is a completely uncompromised device. It feels like a laptop from the future, where nothing sucks. The keyboard is great, the screen is great, the touchpad is great, the keys are all there, it's super light, but super solid, there's a bajillion ports. Anyone considering a new laptop should give a good look at thinkpads. They also have ridiculous sales from time to time - I got my X1C for about 50% of retail price.

I think the laptop to beat is the X1 Carbon. Feels completely solid and uncompromised.

If you're spending a lot of time figuring out how to fail in such a way that your product doesn't become waste, you're probably working on the wrong things.

Perhaps the choices you make and the time you spend on mitigating the possibility of your product becoming e-waste will make you more likely to fail, leading to a higher probability of your product becoming e-waste because most people won't bother re-flashing the hardware you're making.

Work on improving your product and making sure that you succeed.

> I’d guess that this is a cost-cutting move, as it’s much cheaper to offer push notifications from their app than it is to send out SMS.

I'd have to second this guess. SMS is much more expensive than push notifications.

I think you may be judging a book by the cover here. I'd imagine that those 12 rules are metaphors, and expounded upon.

That's not really a good analogy. You have a totally different sensor chemistry in your eyes, as well as different processing.

One thing worth checking out if you're looking for DF-Lite with nice graphics: Odd Realm.

insulin is dirt cheap to make

Zeus is amazing, and the brothers one is pretty impressive! Interesting to play around with different sizes at the transition points!

Site is rather broken on Android chrome.

Just a heads up, there's another IoT product called pulse: getpulse.co

SEEKING FREELANCER | Los Angeles, CA | Remote

We are an IoT company in the cannabis space. We make monitoring tools for cannabis growers. We're looking for a marketer to run pretty much all of our marketing. An ideal candidate would have an understanding of the cannabis space, experience with Facebook and Google advertising, email marketing, content creation, and SEO.

Check us out at getpulse.co My email is peter(a)getpulse.co - reach out if you're interested.

Since the headline talks about "impact", I expected to see more information about performance of the pages, how they chose the sections, how they generated the content template, how those decisions led to various results. Were there performance differences between different regions of the country? How did these pages "impact" business performance? What was their traffic before and after?

Pretty light on anything related to "impact".

I get that it's on their blog, but it is extremely light on useful content. The majority of information in there is "Segment does this".

This is just an advertisement for segment.

Just make one? Calculate how much the install costs per kw, and how much your electric costs...

I wonder what that's doing to housing prices in Denmark

Alternatively, more people living by public transit makes it easier to invest more in and develop better public transit.

Amazing, a path opening for a west coast city to develop additional housing! We need more of this. I bet there are NIMBY heads exploding in San Diego, probably on Nextdoor.

>> replacing the word "butt" with "butt"

Do you mean to say that extensions do nothing?

What's the big uproar about using unity for this?

they might make loading and unloading solid cargo more difficult
