The way they layer sounds is so intricate and dynamic, it pulls you in from the start and keeps you hooked with every listen.
Also the Ratatat Remixes Vol. 1 & 2 are just genius. One of my favourites : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVHCR3W5ITo

We have been using Braintree since 2017, and no complaints so far.
As the business grew, they have contacted us a few times for risk related reviews and asked us to submit supporting documents. But they don't hold the funds first (unless you don't comply I guess) which I find a better approach on how to treat your customers and establish trust.

Great read, thanks a lot for sharing your process and providing diy instructions. Can't wait to see the PCB and case :)
I am on a similar journey and wanted to ask whether you had considered/tested the bme680 instead of the SHT31 + SGP30?

All my domains are registered through Gandi. What good registrars would you suggest? I'd like to move them out.

> it's not like Paypal will miss me, I know, I would just feel too "dirty" to keep it open after all that happened
It's comforting to know that other people feel the same way.

Terms of Service; Didn't Read (https://tosdr.org) is a project aiming to achieve what you describe, but it's mainly for websites and web applications.
They need much more contributors though.

For people over 50, and for African-Americans, the current recommended intake is even lower - 1,500 milligrams per day.
I am intrigued by the current guideline for African-Americans. Does anyone know what is the rationale behind this stricter limit?

In my experience, comparing absolute temperatures across different climate/countries does not give the full picture.
I used to live in Paris where it felt warmish when the temperature was around 10C. Now that I live in Hong Kong, 10C feels freezing cold, as you pointed out.
Maybe it's related to humidity ? Or maybe it's because there is no indoor heating at all, as seanmcdirmid noted.

Agree. What really annoys me most, are websites where you can only "login" using your Facebook account.
Anyway, in this case, even registering with your dummy/spam email address is worth the trouble :)

Re:Android is the new Windows CE.

Your article is poorly constructed. It is called "Android is the new Windows CE". It's a very catchy and intriguing title. But it's a scam.
You start by stating your conclusion: "while iPhone and Windows Phone are revolutionary smart phones, Android is the closest thing I ever seen to an evolution of Windows CE."
However, your have only one argument in the whole article defending your conclusion. The only point of comparison with windows CE that you develop is that they "supposedly" share a desktop as a common feature. Wow! I should have stopped reading there.
Then you proceed with various complain about the system
1/ The UI design is poor, that it lacks consistency. Sure that can be a fair point. It's also a matter of taste, but I agree that iOS and Windows are an order of magnitude more consistent. However, what has this to do with Windows CE ?
2/ Google is over-emphasized on Android. Sorry? You are an iPhone user, and you complain about the fact that the company behind Android is too present on it. I would say Android, is much more detached from Google, than iOs devices from Apple or windows from Microsoft. And you are contradicting yourself at the end of your article, by stating that Android is successful because it is customizable. And I would add, that Google has a strong presence in search, maps and emails... So many non-Android users would anyway install Google Apps on their devices.
3/ You could not find the app store easily. Why because it is not called "App Store"? Would someone new to iOS intuitively go to Safari, a compass, as a web browser? If I wanted to read this kind of non-sense, I would read my Grandma's blog. Not someone from the tech industry.
4/ And then random rants. Pin number, News & Weather, Photo Album is called "Gallery" (omg) ... are you serious? And what is has to do with CE?
