Why is the type system a joke (genuine question)?

I'm curious, what's make the app unusable according to you? Genuine question.

Here is a break down of the permissions:

- microphone: used to capture your voice to communicate with someone

- phone: you can send sms throught the app

- contacts: to associate a ring id with a contact (and have the phone number to send sms

- storage: to store your private key

- location: I admit, that one is weird

I don't really get that part. You have everything needed to build it yourself (and so host it) on the wiki [0].

Also, everytime someone builds something now, it seems to be the first comment out there "it needs to be self-hosted". I get that this is a security oriented communication app, so it needs to be audited and open sourced so we can trust it, but now that this part is OK, people are finding something more to ask: the self-hosting part.

Ring has some UI problems but I hope it'll get better. It's open source and a company in Montreal contributes a lot to its development.

The big problem right now is the scope of the app. They want to do too much at the same time (text, voice and video).

Anyway, I like the effort and I hope it succeeds.

I had the X1 carbon 3rd gen and I have the XPS 13 9350 right now, I don't see a lot of differences in the keyboard. Why do you like the ThinkPad one better?

Agreed. And you know, since they're not available anymore, we can start looking at what's actually available.

It's sad to see you had trouble. With the latest version of it (9350), I had trouble at the beginning but upgrading the kernel to 4.4 solved all of them.

Also, regarding #3, I've heard Linux Mint as great HiDPI support in their last version.

That would change the price of the hour. We can still say $1.66 per minute but less appealing than $1.

They announced $399 for the 16GB and $429 for the 32GB.

Very cool. I like how you update the list. Page up/down doesn't seem to work though.

Edit: my bad, my focus was still on the country dropdown.

I think people are saying APC is dead because another opcode cache was included in PHP 5.5 and APC has not seen a release since 2012.

It's a bit like saying "I've done something completely different and it's much faster".

Anyway, sunsed looks cool.

I believe your first link is still version 20. Here is version 21: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-key-pinning-21 .

Also, your second link point to a 404.

There is a 'g' missing in the link to Mozilla Wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/Public_Key_Pinn... .

And https://tack.io doesn't respond for me whereas http://tack.io does.

"Providing machines for Kubernetes in not only necessary as a pool of raw cycles and bytes but also can provide a critical extra layer of security". [0]

Maybe it's true for now, but containers may be enough security in the future.

And what about spending time to optimize a end user's time?

They seem to still have the 32GB black and white in stock actually.

That was fast. I though they said it won't be like for the Nexus 4 which was sold out in something like 30 minutes.

I will wait for the next batch then. Thanks.

Are they already out of stock or there is just none available in my country (Canada)?

On the Android Mobile client? I never experienced that. Where can I see this behavior?

Isn't that much better to know you can update your software and transition to another system every X years ?

Knowing you can update or change your system implies nothing or no one is really indispensable. I would much prefer something like that.
