Windows phone keyboard was leaps and bounds ahead of iOS and Android. I still miss that keyboard. Swiftkey on android just isn't the same.

Can you read data off a floppy disk today? How many others can? How many in fifty years can? The point is that left alone our physical media of today is not compatible in the future because you need specialty tools to read it.

Anyone can pickup and read a piece of paper or a rock with carvings in it. The point is that not only does the media need to survive, but the means to make use of it needs to survive as well.

That is the key issue with technology today. Someone needs to keep loving the data from floppy to zip drive to thumb drive to hard drive to whatever is next or it's lost.

Werfel noted that the IRS' strategic plan over the next three tax years include a sharp increase in audits, although the agency reiterated it won't boost its enforcement for people who earn less than $400,000 annually — which covers the bulk of U.S. taxpayers.

Saved you a click.

That accurately describes the state we're in today, it is that way (requiring trucks for a significant leg of the "last mile") due to the incredible amount of subsidizing being done for road maintenance.

Imagine if we were subsidizing rail infrastructure for freight and passenger service.

I would argue that devs getting 500k in stocks are at least decent at negotiating and other soft skills.

You don't get that kind of compensation for just having tech chops.

it's not like it will auto-delete.

You're probably right it won't, but it definitely could be done by Apple and Google.

Options and competition are good things for consumers. Not sure why you would be against that.

Some might even call that invention a train.

They aren't cheap, but I have been very happy with pens from tactile turn. They have a newer aluminum line that are a bit more affordable, and they all take regular pen refills.

I have a few cartridge pens which are nice but the tactile turn pens are a better balance of convenience for me.

There are enough people working this problem that we can realistically aim for both and capitalize on incremental improvements in each area along the way.

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn't add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.

Proton drive has windows and Android clients that work well. I'd love a Linux client for drive and for them to fix the photo upload issue on android, but eventually those things will come.
