If it's a decentralized system and it uses a free and open protocol, there could be many different clients. I am sure many of them would be very easy to use, and as far as cognitive load goes, Facebook's many capricious and poorly consider

Stallman is right. What Facebook provides is a completely unoriginal set of social networking tools wrapped in a mediocre presentation layer that requires you to surrender some of your most precious human rights in order to access it. Thei

I ranted a bit when this news was first posted on HN late last night, now that I've had more time to mull it over, it just pisses me off even more. It seems like every Adobe press release these days is like a gorgeous chocolate cake... ...

That's the hilarious part about this. You probably won't need CS5.5, or any adobe product other than alchemy. You will compile straight from unity or udk or whoever else they drag onto their sinking ship. As a guy that writes a lot of actio

I agree that some of the folklore built up around "hackers" is a bunch of bullshit, but I disagree with some of your assertions. I would never work for a company with a dress code of business casual. It's not that I want to wear comfortab

What does the East Somerset Railway have to do with this article, and how is the article fluffing the East Somerset Railway? Some useful individual noted that he is referring to Eric S. Raymond, not the East Somerset Railway, but then delet

I don't know how this slipped under my radar, thanks for the recommendation! Play Money is a fantastic non-fiction account of online gaming economies if anyone wants a more extensive non-fiction treatment of the topic.

I, for one, will mourn the loss of such exotic supercomputing architecture. Whether it's the massive clustered PS3 supercomputers that people built because of the commodity pricing/loss that Sony was willing to take or the absurdly difficu

I've been crowing about these issues for months now. They have built something that solves a problem (getting the important thing in the image in focus) that has been better solved by multiple other means (AF, hyperfocal distance + high DO

His letter to Musk makes him seem much more reasonable than Tesla honestly. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1073312_is-tesla-brickin... The part that really registered with me is the request for a simple phone call. Why didn't Tesla

I was not aware of that. Do you have any details on that arrangement? I don't see any record of that in any of their earning reports for the last two years. My understanding of that arrangement is that it is a mutually beneficial relation

I've been wondering why they haven't done this for a very, very long time. The player itself has not been a source of revenue for Adobe for quite some time (they used to license Flash Lite to handset manufacturers and made money off of tha

Yes, I really don't understand moves like this. With Israel poised to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, and perhaps start an all out air war with them, you would think Iran would want to gain some good will from the international community

Swapping out bullshit about how the iTV will fail, with bullshit about how the iPhone would fail. So familiar... ”We’ve not seen what they’ve done but what we can say is that they don’t have 10,000 people in R&D in the cellular recepti

I would not be saddened if they turned their eye towards patent trolls, but maybe there just aren't enough lulz to be had there.

There are. Small production companies. Hundreds of them. But when it comes to marketing and distibuting what you've made, you really need a major studio's support.

Do you disagree with his premise that the hollywood system's support of unionized highly skilled manual labor is beneficial to up and coming content creators? I believe it could be argued that the studios do not do this intentionally (indee

Their standards are different. Also, they're being slightly disingenuous by omitting the time it took to fabricate all of the various parts that they then assemble on site. Still, it probably comes down more to standards. I really like thi

"acceptable software" is the line that made me stop reading. That has to be the single largest problem I've encountered with Samsung products--buggy and slow interfaces (on their TVs, DVD players, and Blu-ray players). I'm more than happy t

Maybe? Even if you agree with the underlying goal of SOPA (protecting rights holders), the bill is horribly written and grants far too much power to copyright holders without any transparency. So in what sense are you on the fence? You agre

I occasionally watch things with my friend who has access to HBO Go in our office. It's horrible. Adaptive bitrate streaming is slow to switch or nonexistent, buffer times are too long, aspect ratios are often handled incorrectly in their

My point is that it's all relative, and from Google's perspective, something bad will happen--people won't use their service. Telling your potential users to grow up and act like reasonable people is not going to be a successful strategy wh
