I considered doing one of these, but the quit my day job thing has me on the sidelines. I guess I will have to trust that I have enough discipline to make Self-Study work for me. Who am I kidding, Game of Thrones will be on again in a couple weeks.

It's confusing, but no: There are two things happening here.

These are solid strategies, but the biggest challenges I've encountered haven't been with fully remote teams, but rather with partially remote teams, where maybe half the team is local and usually together in the office, but the other half is distributed remotely.

Sure! It plays well, yes. And it doesn't seem to slow anything down. We've written about it before, and there's a similar one called PriceJump that just works for Amazon :)

It's not exactly the same solution, but http://readruler.com/ can tag your Pocket items (in 5 minute increments) with estimated reading times based on a words per minute that you specify. This effectively accomplishes the same thing as Short, but only works if you're a Pocket user.

It all works internally within iOS, as opposed to working with a web service. It's really cool, I can't recommend it enough if you're the type who likes to tinker around with this kind of stuff.

Your best works out of the box solution is probably going to be a Tivo Roamio. That should allow you to record the game from cable/antenna and then stream it where ever you are. Slingbox might also be an option but I don't know if it can record.

I don't anymore, not because it wasn't useful, but it simply is not currently reliable. More than half the time the keyboard does not show up and I have to click the globe icon and click it again to get the keyboard to show, and othertimes no keyboard shows up and other inconsistencies. The keyboard developers say…

I'd either have to move, get a different job, or get used to adding several hours to my daily commute for public transit. I live in New England, so while I live close enough to bike, the weather can work against me for a large chunk of the year. That, and I get off of work after dark, and I don't really trust…

Its a constant scan, we are talking a couple of mAh of power to ping the light sensor, it is barely even touching the battery life. Its all software. FLUX adjusts the color temperature of the display, more so than it does the brightness.

I don't tend to be near too many natural disasters, but interestingly this actually came up for me the other day. There was a pretty bad storm near me, but not in my neighborhood. Some people on Facebook asked if I was okay. I didn't actually know what they were talking about at first, but if it had been more serious,…

If you upgrade every other year, the off-contract options should be similar or cheaper. If you upgrade every year...you might be better with one of those "early upgrade" plans on the major carriers.

Good idea!

We just got back last week from a trip to East Africa and it was so sad to hear how much this was affecting them, in countries with no cases that are thousands of miles away from the outbreak. Our local guide said many folks had canceled scheduled trips, which is going to have a devastating effect on the economy of…
