for the first chart (sourced from https://epoch.ai/data/machine-learning-hardware?view=graph&y...), what is the audience supposed to think about that trend line? there's a step after you slap a regression on some points where you evaluate whether there's a real trend or noise, right? i don't see that either in the article or the linked source.

"all the time" in this context means frequently, not constantly, and is usually understood as a global rate.

for example: people fall in love all the time.

https://docs.openindiana.org/misc/openindiana/ looks like what you wanted, was not straightforward to get there from the homepage.

To elaborate of the commenter above, here's what I tried to try to get some information about this site:

* Looked at the top and bottom nav for a link to something like a blog or an about page.

* Searching for [2ndwind] brings up tons of athletics links.

* Tried visiting both /about and /blog to see if there was more content, just hidden.

The poster including more information about the site than is in the real <title> makes it seem like they know more. If you do: please summarize what this page is.

For anyone (like me) who raised an eyebrow at the "trans fats are highly toxic" bit, wiki helpfully mentions some recent (2013) FDA guidance on the matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat

Note the timestamp on the article and compare to: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/the-et...

Thinkpad keyboard only appears to come with $5,000 limited-run version, and it's detachable. Every other version explicitly does not come with a keyboard because of how little consensus there is.

buffer -> http://bufferapp.com/. nothing to fix, just someone deciding that, since someone has done X, no one else should do X.

congrats on making something! happy new year.

I'm puzzled, your comments seem to claim simultaneously that:

* There is not a battery life problem on Windows machines.

* The battery life problem on Windows machines is not surprising.

Default switch happened in August https://people.gnome.org/~csaavedra/news-2013-08.html while spike appeared to start 2 months previous.

I'm curious if the problem here is splashtop--does it work when you go to cafes with spotty wifi? For example, running vim from an ec2 instance might give you better connectivity.

4.5% tablet marketshare (http://www.winbeta.org/news/windows-8-and-windows-rt-account...) is tiny, but big enough to account for anecdotes like this.

In the "pros" column, you're just violating netflix TOS so in the worst case they figure out you are lying about your country and delete your account. Sounds like a pretty safe (but expensive) way to pirate movies to me.

Right, there's not a legal way to subscribe so you're illegally subscribing. For the children, or something.

You weren't actually asking for comments, so sorry if I'm just being annoying, but:

* I love the font size and content column width. More line height than 140% might be good, but I then again have extreme preferences for line height (160%).

* Consider not paginating the posts, or picking a higher limit. You currently have 1 more than you show on the first page, so why not show it on page 1?

* The big image on the search page is funny, but takes a very long time to load. Removing it or moving it to a CDN will make loading that page faster.

* text-align: justify is your friend! Thin columns look weird with right-aligned text.

<3!

Thank you for making this, and please please please don't "pivot" from a bookmarklet into another half-baked social network.

The title is missing a >. Should be "-->"

No requests are sent when I hit the "Save Changes" button. I have a small amount of confidence that my preferences are going to be picked up.

It's important to note the careful hedging in that response. Specifically:

* Activity Streams will be read-only, except through their (non-ostatus) API.

* No subscribing through pubsubhubbub "initially." It implies but does not promise eventually subscribing.

* Similar to streams, webfinger will be published but not consumed.

* From context, the final clause about inbound and outbound syndication is through some non-ostatus mechanism.

Sorry for the tangent, but svbtle knockoffs like the http://wp-svbtle.themeskult.com/ used here are annoying.

I don't want the whole internet to look like svbtle. Heck, I don't even want svbtle to look like svbtle.

Citation needed.

I never thought I'd say this, but that page is too orange.

This sounds like snake oil. I'd love to read more about it--any sources for "profile picture as EULA"?

"Hadopi, the body charged with hunting down freetards under France’s three-strikes law, has sent a million warning e-mails and 99,000 registered letters."

Did The Register really just say "freetards?"

Your phrasing here suggests that you work for orbitz or a similar company. Is that accurate?

I'm confused: how do you use message queues to handle traffic spikes? If a user request is sitting in a queue, aren't they staring at a white screen until I get back to them?

edit: "And you can launch more servers to eat away at the queues if they keep growing." sounds a lot like autoscaling to me. The graph is misleading.
