Nice to see it's not just me with this frustration. I had the same problem with my Sammy LNT4061. One capacitor and 5 years later, and it's still going strong.
If only my Kobo aura H2O had the same story. One drop on an airport floor and it's an expensive paperweight. Kobo does not repair, nor sanction repair, nor is it even really possible.
Came here to see this. I expected to see a well reasoned argument for functional programming and how entrenched the OO mentality is. What's the mess we're in again?
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks driving should be a full time activity. If you don't have a personal chauffeur, you are not important enough to need your phone while driving. If you do have a personal chauffeur, text away Mr./Mrs./Ms. Important.
I didn't get a "don't pursue certain technologies in order to protect certain industries" vibe from the article. Most here will agree that is futile. There will always be someone willing to take it a step further for another dollar.
The takeaway in the article is to be mindful of our work, and feel (some) responsibility towards the PEOPLE whose lives it will change. The collective "meh" on HN to any person outside the tech industry is disgusting.

Cool, nothing wrong with going to the bare metal for Gmaps in simple applications. If you find yourself doing any complex marker or polygon manipulation Gmaps-for-rails is really worth a look.
Keep up the good work, look forward to more from you in the future!
A few years ago I tried to eliminate every possible trace of my real name online. It just doesn't work, there will always be something.
So I gave up. Now I just try and make sure there is an accurate representation of my personality, views, and so on associated with my real name, online. Hopefully this gives a bit of balance to my profile in case I miscommunicate something in the future.
Have fun closing your account by the way, I went through that fiasco recently. I regularly run the LastPass security challenge and an old email of mine was in the Adobe breach too.
