I've never heard of an efficiency enhancing feature not being automatic. That would be like overdrive defaulting to off, or having to manually enable cylinder deactivation. People would use it more if it was in the pedal's logic.

I must have misheard the sales guy when I test drove one. Thought he said 180.

Would he also buy an Aveo because has a bowtie on it? Badges mean a bit too much to some folks. Meh.

So a leaf with a +20 mile upgrade would beat it easily in everything including ugly points? Neat. Way to flop again, GM. I've got a crumby idea: How about a long range EV with a dual pack system, like a dual tank pickup truck. You coul

Not to be glib, but this is true in much the same way as secure http. Really the only way to do it properly is to control the root key for your organization. The chain of trust starting with the vendor you got the computer from is bonkers.

This isn't hacker or startup related. It's just amazon news being upvoated by.... Well hang on, now that makes me wonder. Does Bezos make more or less money by people getting laser eye work done?

Some things don't work at scale. I guess squeezing leaves into bottles is one of them.

> Not supporting hackers fixes that quickly. Fixed that for you. We're just trying to maximize our resources and minimize cost. Nothing wrong with that.

Idiots don't seem to realize that there are two ways hardware is supported by linux. Either the vendor writes the driver (like in windows land) and releases or merges it, or some other guy figures out how to twiddle the hardware and ma

My wife loves portal and portal 2 because you get to explore and not get shot at without walking into it with early warning. For 90% of the game, you can just drop the controller, come back the next day, and everything will be just how you

It ensures that any browser that isn't from google, apple, mozilla, or microsoft in the last year will simply not work, avoiding them significant support burdens!

Stronger isn't what I'm looking for. If it was, I'd be on facebook. I just want a smaller community with closer interests. More like benheck and bacmods were and less general interest. HN is all business now so it's no g

Does converting microusb cables to OTG dongles by hand count as a good whipping? crack!

Where do you share? I'm not on facebook, reddits..... bad now, and all the hacker messageboards I used to frequent are gone (benheck, bacmods, etc).

More likely to be that sergio correia guy. I heard bad things about him.

For the same reason it would be inappropriate to blame you.

So now that building a decent printer completely from scratch is possible, remind me again why we still need hp printers?

Ubuntu has used a different init system each time for the last 3 LTS releases. It's only bad because they keep changing it!

You refuse to look, and thus have clarity. Dude that is not a good argument. What is not uniform about the previous service handling implementation in debian?

Binary only logs was enough for me to hate it.

Ran as a normal user on debian jessie, and now ssh logins are delayed by 30 seconds. I don't see any other problems yet, but this is a VM host and so leave it running for a while for fun. :)

Since google stopped substring matching and started picking and choosing on it's own which keywords are important and dropping the ones it doesn't like, these things are no longer really working in google search either.

HTTPS is oppressive to those who cannot afford computers powerful enough to run the cyphers on so many connections. Try browsing on a 66mhz bus pentium some time.
