Chromecast has gotten a lot better about not losing connection in the last few years, or maybe it's because I have Pixel phones. If you have Google Home, the voice control is awesome. I feel like I'm in the future every time I tel

Remember, it's important to not discuss politics on Hacker News. Politics being things like "Is the current government threatening to put people in prison if they don't do them political favors?" You know, just politics.

Because if you're a startup, you probably don't want to deal with something like that. You want something that "just works."

It doesn't have to be formal. Everyone does this today, and keeps a kind of list of debts in their head. "Bob asked me to help him move this weekend, and I really don't want to, but he helped me move last year." If you

I was in the market for an Android phone a few months after the Essential came out, and bought it at a much-reduced price. As others have said, it was a really nice phone except for the camera. I'm not sure exactly why it failed. I rem

How would an attack on a git repo work? You create a repo with identical hashes but different content and next time the user clones from scratch they get your modified version?

Microsoft products get supported basically forever. But they're not cool/trendy.

I don't think that's necessarily woman-specific. I'm a guy, and if I could stay at home all day and spend time with my kids, I would too. Certainly, I would if my wife was making 330k/year :D

I think Brave is fine, but the important difference between the two is that Brave is Chromium, and ultimately dependent on Chromium development. Firefox is 100% independent, and a true "third party" browser implementation. With Mi

I agree that based on this single email alone, it would be shocking for someone to be forced out. On the other hand, apparently RMS has had a long history of making women feel uncomfortable around him, and not taking "no" for an a

I don't know. Have you ever read Stallman's appearance requirements[1]? I mean, yeah, it's probably a joke. But I wouldn't be shocked it it were true either. [1] https://github.com/ddol/rre-rms/

This article takes me back. I remember being pro-trillion dollar coin, if it came to issuing that or defaulting. Too bad Obama didn't know what Trump does: obeying the law is optional for the president.
