You do have to trust Amazon or Azure and Frame to some extent, but that's better than trusting random baggage handlers and the TSA.
You could do something similar with a phone, but would need a keyboard and monitor and maybe a dock like the HP X3. I'd love to just have a generic deck that could cast to a TV and use a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo. I'm sure that's coming with the direction phones are going.
But I agree the real fix would be to elect leaders that can solve real problems instead of knee-jerk grandstanding. I'd rather fly with no security at all than give up my freedom. (Disclaimer, I work for Frame, but my opnions are my own)
So they named it after the Canoncial cloud offering, which is also called "One"? What's next "Dropship" maybe "MineCloud"? It's like they hired some clickbait spammer to name projects.
I suffered a brain injury at the age of five due to head trauma. I've had several issues over the years including memory and other cognitive problems. Over the years, I've developed various coping strategies (lists, mnemonic tricks, remapping tasks to take advantage of strengths and minimize weaknesses). The most useful thing I've learned is that most people have to make up for deficits, and you are not at all unusual.
The advice on exercise and healthy eating make sense in general, but you will also need to create some unfair advantages for yourself. Rather than depending on your own, natural memory, spend some focused time on mnemonic gimmicks. They aren't the same as learning, but they will allow you to carry lists around in your head like the world's most ingenious cheat sheet.
I've had good results with an old copy of You Can Remember By Dr. Bruno Furst. There may be better courses I don't know about, but this one gave me a bag of tricks I use every day to function almost as if I had a normal to exceptional memory.
It's just a bag of tricks though, and only a doctor specializing in cognitive issues related to sleep disorders is likely to be able to help you with the root cause.
... Isn't making a false statement under the DMCA essentially like perjury? And if it is, why isn't someone being charged criminally? ... And don't tell me it's a civil matter, because the *AAs have gotten enforcement of this ramped up to a federal crime.
The only crime that matters is annoying someone with power. Who with power was annoyed by WB lying? See? No crime.

I actually gave you quite a few specifics. No links, because I didn't intend to promote any particular brand. Normally, I would be happy to give you more detail about the treadmill desk I've used for several years now and how well it's worked out and the issues raised and resolved at work, that sort of thing. Over that time, walking 8 hours a day had a small positive impact on my cardio fitness and a big positive impact on skeletal/muscle resilience and comfort. But your attitude actually makes me enjoy whatever small suffering your life may bring.
You really need to learn how to interact with humans who haven't been paid to pretend they like you.
I do the Power90 workout with my wife six mornings a week before going to work, then I have a treadmill desk at work where I walk all day as I code, read, surf, post on/. If we have a really early or hectic day ahead we move the workout to before dinner. If we're sick or injured in some way we modify the workout a bit. The big secret is not to push hard, just show up and keep moving. The workout is for cardio and strength, the treadmill desk wiped out any aches and pains and bad posture from hunching over and typing for 20 odd years.
Give yourself three months of drill instructor attitude to get in the habit and aim at 3 years to measure your results, just to avoid any short-term thinking. That worked great for us, and now it's just natural to get up and do it.
But which company would actually build such a device?
Amazon is a possibility if they don't want to have all of their eggs in the Android basket. They've proven they can manage manufacturing, and no one does distribution better.
My wife and I actually run two websites, one for local artists, artisans and crafters and another for local service businesses, so people in our county can gift shop locally online.
I'm sure this thread will have lots of blather about how hip hop lyrics are (not) valid artistic expressions.
To support your argument that Hip Hop follows a long tradtion:
LO, praise of the prowess of people-kings of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped, we have heard, and what honor the athelings won! Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes, from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore, awing the earls. Since erst he lay friendless, a foundling, fate repaid him: for he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve, till before him the folk, both far and near, who house by the whale-path, heard his mandate, gave him gifts: a good king he!
Yo! I know you heard of the Scyldings already When battle went down, the kings were deadly, swords steady Each one did whatever he said he Would do, and to grab onto more glory was ready. Scyld started their line, looked mighty fine Just a baby found a-bobbin' in a boat Grew great so kings gave him silver and gold
No, the "Chuck" in question is Chuck Moore, and the universe is thus written in Forth (aka "Toaster code", or "back to front lisp" [stacks instead of lists] if you wish.).
I can , in fact, confirm that Chuck Moore is God.
The strange and paradoxical puzzles of physics are nothing more than the universe expressing itself in Reverse Polish Notation.
No discussion of creating simulated universes is complete without a reference to Forth. After all, what's the very first language you bootstrap on a new architecture so you can get right to work?
And ColorForth changed my thinking about code in ways I can't begin to list. Interestingly, Chuck Moore lives a few minutes from me.
Glad to see it back. I loved having DSL on a USB. I've been using Arch for that lately, but I have trouble remembering how to get it setup after long periods without using it. Hopefully this will also work on my old EEE PC netbook. I'm using Arch and E there too, but never did get around to making it autosense wifi and that sort of thing. As I recall DSL did that very well out of the box.
I haven't received my Nexus 7 yet, but it surprises me that it's poorly packaged. My original ASUS eee had a box so nice (a very Apple-like white box with lid inside a slide-off sleeve) I mounted it on the wall and turned it into a cabinet.
One other player that the summary didn't mention is Amazon. Their packaging for Kindle is awesome.
For me the packaging says something about the thought that went into the product from the very top down. Sushi wouldn't be nearly as much fun if it were just slopped on a plate with an ice cream scoop.
I take your question to mean that you want to program but aren't allowed to add anything to your work machine, including binary files that don't require an installer to run. That's typically how I've seen that sort of rule interpreted.
You mentioned an interest in HTML/CSS and presumably javascript.
Another option would be to look at some of the free shell account vendors online, but you seemed mostly interested in GUI IDEs so that might not be your thing.

I'm getting tired of having to have ridiculous passwords, now I'm just either ALWAYS making the first character an uppercase because it's easier, or doing quick pattern based passwords for the ultra fussy systems. 123qwe!@#QWE - that's surprisingly quick to input yet keeps those stupid systems quiet.
They can have my linked-in hash. Based on a similar pattern is should take 11945132084526 centuries to crack according to passfault.
For the lame systems that insist on bad passwords, I just generate something random in keepassX
I bought a treadmill that was designed to handle running slowly all day long and which has a low profile to slide under my engineering workstation.
I run it at about 1.5 mph all day long and it's very easy to type at that speed after a few days of acclimation. I imagine a job with quite a bit of mouse work would be a little more difficult, but my trackpad/wrist rest works fine.
It's much easier on my body walking all day as opposed to sitting or standing. The first week I wore my usual hiking boots and was in alot of pain, but switching to good running shoes that fit made all the difference.

Loved the original, and this version is fun. The lights on the monome were a show all by themselves.

"Can a horse drive a car?" Still a fun chatbot though.
Also failed on, "Could you restate my last question in your own words?"
Those are going to continue to be tough for a chatbot for awhile longer, world knowledge and conversation context.
