A neatly stacked supply of energy bars will also earn you a complimentary bag unpacking.

That sounds like backpacking paradise, of which I am delighted to hear of as a contradiction to my experience. I hiked the New England section of the AT in high school, but our small party included a guy who snored louder than anyone I've ever met before or since. A wet, sucking, horrific noise that to the mind of my light-sleeping sixteen y/o self was surely identical to the sound of a giant lamprey or hagfish, slurping the innards of its living, long suffering prey, still undead after twenty-odd very very long nights...

Best of luck in making a permanent change in your lifestyle. I've been maintaining a low carb diet/lifestyle (paleo inspired) for over ten years, so it is indeed possible, with enough habit building.

Here's a $2600 G-Master lens that finishes last in comparison to its Nikon and Canon peers.

Citation for caffeine levels and the other numerous claims you're making up and down this thread?

Why? (It's not obvious to me by your link.)

Awesome story! I was hoping that the original article would have included some of your uncle's sketches of the parts he was replacing. Would you happen to have any drawings of his you could share? He sounds like a tremendously talented individual.

I found the adjustable stand up desk to be really only part of the ideal solution. Standing all the time aggravated circulation problems, so I added a treadmill specifically designed to be used at a desk. Now it's easy to walk miles a day, at whatever pace fits with the task at hand. The desk is on wheels, so I roll it away from the treadmill when I want to sit. I vary between sitting, perched sitting, standing, walking, and reclining while on the computer. (Working at home.)

I also just ordered a Cubii under-desk elliptical, for use at the office where a treadmill and moving around would be intrusive. Like many here, my job and several hobby projects involve working on computers, and all that sedentary time adds up if you don't combat it.

It may be that the monolithic edifices that typify so many favorite dystopian worlds don't lend themselves to scaling up or down as an organization grows or contracts.

Perhaps only organizations that are immune to market vagaries can handle an architecture that does not respond easily to growth/change. Also, many prefer to lease rather than own, and real estate developers are almost universally conservative and conventional, thus unlikely to underwrite the costs of aesthetically significant architecture.

(In my experience it costs at least twice as much to construct things in a way that is outside standard convention.)

A mixed example, Apple's new campus is a more friendly-faced monolith, but will be difficult to expand without breaking the trademark purity of its circular geometry. (An aside, at least as shown in photos, that building puts my creative mind to sleep and carries a message of conformity, like any monoculture gone to far.)

As I understand it, forged metal is stronger than cast metal, because the forging process aligns the crystallized structure of the metal into a "grain" that is parallel to the geometry of the final part.

If the english subtitles are accurate, to me it seemed he was disgusted by the movements of the character itself, and the motivation for creating them, rather than the specific AI means by which they were created.

What is the use case for the models themselves?

Indeed, the tone, headline, and imagery are bizarrely incongruous to the gravity of the message. I have to assume that internally they're just trying to make sense of a difficult situation and PR is not one of their strengths. One recalls that the first stage of grief is denial...

I agree, and it's such a shame to see this company/product's demise due to overreach.

Per their site, Pebble's current product line has three different case designs, each available in at least three different finishes, and one with an additional heart rate monitor. That seems like an awful lot of SKUs for a small hardware startup to develop, manufacture, stock, fulfill and support. Their latest kickstarter added even more models.

From my armchair, it looks like they tried to expand and segment their market too quickly, for the sake of both growth and the optics of their product line in comparison to Apple.

I'm in the early stages of creating the world's tiniest "hardware startup" (the product consists of a single piece of metal), and it's a constant discipline to not get caught up in offering variations on the base design. Every product design choice ripples through the supply chain, increasing complexity and overhead at your peril.

Good luck to all the folks at Pebble in their new endeavors.

My thoughts exactly! I just made my pledge, with the hope that they'll clear the $1M stretch goal.

I'm curious about this too.

Also, how many nights of shooting in the bakery were required?

Love the spirit of the project! I look forward to seeing if you iterate/modify/improve on the design after using it.

I suppose the logical fallacy you're employing is a variation of the argument from authority, isn't it?

Why don't you present an actual argument in support of "SIGINT Enterprise" instead?

Competition is always welcome! We do however build solid relationships with the neighbors and enroll the kids in local schools to provide complete residency simulation. All for one low fee.

Shameless plug, for my just-released "fake home occupancy as a service", where my family and I charge you only 0.5% of the property value to satisfy the government's occupancy requirements. Contact info in my profile.

Thanks for all you wrote! I suspect I'm in a similar place to where you were prior to getting treatment. I've resisted pursuing a diagnosis because it's hard to see what an alternative "normal" would be like. Whether creativity would suffer.

I'd be interested in talking further; If you wouldn't mind answering a few more questions through email, please send me a message at the address in my profile. Thanks again.

Note that the OP is referring to a "60th percentile" rule, not "60%" rule. Results in a much different number within a given market. I was confused initially, as "60% of market rate" salary would be very much on the exploitive side of things :)

We choose "we".

Even if you're the sole author of the app/site, the voice of any text should be abstracted away from your identity at least to this small degree. Use "I" only in testimonials, quotes, or in a "message from our founder".

This discipline helps keeps the voice/tone of the text consistent throughout the app, which inspires trust and confidence. It's more polished and professional, especially if you ever contemplate expanding your team.

I struggle with what I sometimes think is ADHD, but I haven't pursued a diagnosis or treatment. How did you discover you had it?

Good observations. The difference with Spectacles is playfulness and fun: kids goofing off for the camera on a beach vs normcore cyborg narrating on a bluetooth headset.

A potential weakness of Spectacles as a product is that it augments only non-selfie, "extraverted" photography. So it doesn't engage the selfie obsessed side of the userbase as much as the phone-based AR filters do.

I haven't been a fan of Snapchat, but now I'm curious to see how users react to this product.

My intuition is that these will be a hit. Simple, fun, youthful & on trend, not fussy to charge, huge captive userbase to sell to. Can you turn them around and use the mirrored lenses to take a selfie?

Snap probably has a winner here if their users will further embrace the idea of turning cameras away from their faces and onto their friends and experiences. How big an "if" that is, I can't yet say.

Right, because then Ford could sell you a backyard oil well and refinery to fuel the Focus parked in your garage.

Why bury it when you can use it as a building material and textile?
