Another startup takes on the strange world of the digital paper tablet | TechCrunch
Another startup takes on the strange world of the digital paper tablet | TechCrunch:
The unsubtly named reMarkable is the latest product to give it a go, launching with what the company calls a “no latency” digital paper. Certainly sounds good. And it looks pretty decent in the video. “No latency” seems like an overstatement. From the looks of it, it’s not quite as instant as drawing on, say, an iPad, but it does quick – particularly when compared with past devices using older tech. How it actually plays out in real world use is another question entirely.

Stoking Fires and Poking Bears
Stoking Fires and Poking Bears:
I am no feminist at 13, at least, I don’t think I am. My conservative Christian school has taught me that abortion is evil, the gays are to be avoided and prayed for, Evolution is a lie created by atheists to test our faith, and that the best kind of woman is the silently supportive one.

Richard Rorty’s 1998 Book Suggested Election 2016 Was Coming - The New York Times
Richard Rorty’s 1998 Book Suggested Election 2016 Was Coming - The New York Times:
[M]embers of labor unions, and unorganized unskilled workers, will sooner or later realize that their government is not even trying to prevent wages from sinking or to prevent jobs from being exported. Around the same time, they will realize that suburban white-collar workers — themselves desperately afraid of being downsized — are not going to let themselves be taxed to provide social benefits for anyone else.
At that point, something will crack. The nonsuburban electorate will decide that the system has failed and start looking around for a strongman to vote for — someone willing to assure them that, once he is elected, the smug bureaucrats, tricky lawyers, overpaid bond salesmen, and postmodernist professors will no longer be calling the shots. …
One thing that is very likely to happen is that the gains made in the past 40 years by black and brown Americans, and by homosexuals, will be wiped out. Jocular contempt for women will come back into fashion. … All the resentment which badly educated Americans feel about having their manners dictated to them by college graduates will find an outlet.
