This has to a be fake: Everything loads too fast. There's no way it could be faster than today's modern software and hardware...

Since I can't reply to a dead comment:

As long as people are respectful and follow the guidelines, sure.

Edit: your other replies are not respectful and seem to violate the guidelines.

Edit 2: Anyone can be respectful to anyone else regardless of beliefs. Choosing not to be respectful doesn't say anything about the beliefs, it speaks as to the person being disrespectful. This will be my last edit/reply.

I have 3 of these that I bought new back in 2018, that I'm considering selling in the Houston area.

I haven't used them in 2 years, but coincidentally, earlier today I thought about setting up a new workstation that will use all three. So this comment is to gauge if there is any interest.

I'm an Air Traffic Controller, and I discovered these monitors because we used them in a simulator. At the time, the screens we used for controlling traffic were 2048x2048 (that our tech-ops said cost 20k), but recently we switched to larger rectangular monitors (also Eizo).

If anyone in Houston is interested, email me at thomas@(username).com

Does it do turn-by-turn?

I currently use Google Maps on my Android phone for its navigation.

That's important to me, but another user is saying there are Linux apps that do that already, so for me, that's even better!

Just running uBlock Origin, the pictures did not load for me either.

I imagine that website is doing something that I wouldn't approve of.

The people that don't care about Climate Change will still be having kids.

Raising kids and teaching them well is one of the best hopes humanity has.

A bunch of sand powered by spinning rocks.

Is (1) a by-product of (2), or is (2) a by-product of (1)?

Some people are arguing that hollow points were designed for (1), causing the most damage, and that (2), stopping in the target, is just a side-effect of its true purpose.

I had to do an internet search. It was Pearl High School, and it looks like the principal only stopped the subject from leaving the school grounds. Who knows if the subject would have killed more elsewhere, the subject had already killed that day even before going to the school.

That's the thing, we'll never know how many shooting deaths were prevented by "a good guy with a gun", because we don't know if more people would have been shot and died if the shooter wasn't stopped.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

I think I agree with you: It is difficult to identify between good and bad guys. A kid with a gun might be a good person making a terrible mistake which is why I wouldn't want to shoot him/her, especially if that person hasn't harmed anyone.

> has there ever been a case where a teacher successfully shot a school shooter before any innocents could be harmed?

I don't think there ever will be. I would probably not shoot a kid that I only suspect would shoot someone. I doubt a teacher would either.

(Also, is the kid a "school shooter" if he/she did not harm anyone?)

There has been a case where a principal got a gun from his car and stopped a school shooter though.

Thank you.

I edited "stop" to "prevent over-penetration" before I saw your reply. I meant about the bullet not going through anything and hitting someone unintentionally.

Yes, designed to expand in order to stop, not designed to expand in order to harm.

I do feel for the teacher; the situation is not ideal and I wouldn't want to have to shoot someone I'm supposed to take care of either.

I think it's good that this teacher sounds like someone who doesn't want to use his gun (not "trigger-happy"), I just hope in the unlikely situation where he would have to use it, that quality doesn't prevent him from stopping a threat before more harm is done.

"hollow points, rounds designed to swell upon impact to ensure maximum harm."

My understanding is that hollow points were designed to prevent over-penetration rather than to harm more. How does the author know it was designed to "ensure maximum harm"? I can't help but think it was intentional.

Edit: Of course now that I read the rest of the article after initially writing this comment, I see that quote is also highlighted in a text box (side note, what is that called when they do that?).

I thought [1] was going to be a link to itself (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19224648).

It's possible to run Android apps in Linux.

Yes, I am one of them. They are not a fly-by-night company with a random Kickstarter. Of course it was a calculated risk, but it was worth it at the time, and it seems to be panning out in my favor. If you consider everything that people preorder on Kickstarter without due diligence, it would stand to reason there are some people that do due diligence and preorder something like this.

Do you have a source? They said "confirmed". Of course you could say everything is an estimate up until the point it actually happens.

Yeah, that is a bit disappointing. I would probably be irritated if it went into Q4, but considering I wouldn't know where to begin if I were to build a phone from scratch, I can't complain... too loudly.

I wonder how many people pre-ordered the phone. It might be a small-enough order, that they don't need to reserve parts with any one supplier as any decent supplier could fill the order on short notice.

I'm hoping the experience and feedback they get from this product run will justify the economics for them to itterate and push out a new hardware version in the future.

I don't see any damage control.

It's odd to me that people are nitpicking the negative news rather than the positive news.

They're making progress towards a privacy-respecting phone. I'm excited.

They wrote "the previous Q2 estimate is now confirmed for Q3 product shipping."

I haven't gone back to see what they said/estimated in the past, but going from an estimate to a ship date that's only off by 1 quarter seems acceptable to me.

I just looked at the reviews on Amazon. One reader wrote, "If you're looking for everyday examples of the felonies you and I unwittingly commit each day, you won't find them here."

I guess I won't be buying it.

Any Black Mirror episode writers here?

> They used to sell dedicated controllers/remotes years ago but these were also bricked as part of an upgrade about a year or two ago.

Would a class-action be successful in a situation like this?

Considering the US has states that are larger than those countries, can 4th year students from those countries fill in a map of all the US states?

> there's a complicated bidding process to even attempt to sell them to the school!

Did he mean complicated process for the school to buy them, or was he making them and selling them to the school himself?

I highly recommend Marine Engineering at a maritime academy if mechanically or mathematically -inclined. You get a four-year engineering degree and a license from the US Coast Guard as an Engineering Officer.

You can easily pay off your student loans very quickly, you get to see the world, and if you do it right, you have little to no expenses while you're sailing and can bank that money for when you quit.

For most people though, I don't recommend making it a long-term career though. It can be dangerous, and I always felt like my life was on pause while many of my friends were getting married, having kids, etc. (And I worked with a lot of older men who did not have good family/wife situations.)

One can certainly get a desk job with a Marine Engineering degree, but one leaves so much on the table if they do.
