Twitter's not so bad. It is civically important. Revolutions grow because of Twitter. Opposing armies tweet menacingly at each other. And for better or worse, it is the current US President's primary mouthpiece.

Microsoft already has released Office Online. It's lite versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. They're quite good. They get certain enhancements when you buy an Office 365 subscription (in addition to the full applications). IMH

I wonder if it would be worth the money for Google to keep services like this one running, just so that people (especially enterprise customers) don't lose faith in Google's competency with regard to long-term product support. Alt

Until I read this comment section I didn't know Blendle existed. It physically disturbs me. Literally, as in I have this pit in my stomach. If it takes off, it will kill journalism, at least on the Internet. I don't think I'm

Pay-by-article would be the death of journalism. I don't think that's an exaggeration. Everything would be clickbait.

It is in Uber's best interest to cultivate a welcoming workplace. Uber has done some shady stuff but I don't think this one is just PR. If tons of people quit Uber because the workplace culture is terrible, they'll suffer bra

This move is good at least from an ideological standpoint, as Google Play Services undoubtedly leaks data. Signal is of course not heavily reliant on Google Play Services; thus seems like a good solution for the most security-conscious, eve

It is a matter of safety. Given a national crisis, the cellular networks may go down, but the radio will practically always work.

I wonder if they've switched to preemptive multitasking. (No pun intended, although as I've found in conversations with friends, that one's going to pop up a lot.)

I go to a university about ten minutes away. I highly doubt you'd want some random guy off HN to go looking for an extremely valuable package, but I figured I should offer.

Hey byuu, just wanted to say that I appreciate everything you've done for preserving gaming history. higan is still the finest emulator I've ever seen, and it's an amazing feat that it can run SFC games cycle-accurately. On a

We will have our Fourth Amendment. I'm actually not surprised it's Microsoft leading the charge here. After all, if they capitulate, their presence in the EU will be greatly diminished.

"In Valve's eyes it's quality/quantity of available software, rather than price of entry, that's keeping a lot of people from buying into the VR market." This is absurd. Price is absolutely the limiting factor.

To repeat a comment I heard elsewhere - Just as Bitcoin lovers are learning the hard way why we have banking regulations, so are Ethereum followers learning the hard way why we have courts.

I wonder which straw will be the last. Google has been treating YouTubers like garbage. There's no end to the (completely justified) complaints. It's not frivolous stuff. Example: sometimes people get seemingly randomly unsubscrib

Tesla is going up against an old, entrenched industry. Competitors have been around for many decades. Their odds have been slim. They have made mistakes. But it's looking better for them as time goes on.

Was the election fair? I would say so. That being said, Donald Trump received almost three million fewer votes than his main competitor, Hillary Clinton. To say we "voted him in" is only strictly technically correct.

(Spoilers) The way I remember it - the universe was dying of entropy. The Reapers were created to solve the problem of entropy, but could not do so by the time of the events of Mass Effect. The purpose of the Reapers was to combine the inte

They knew where to go after the first one. The lead writer got a diminished role in ME2 and was removed for ME3. His original ending was far better than the trash we got.

If I remember correctly, Nintendo also implemented tough DRM like this for the GBC Video series. Same light gray cartridges, I think. (GBA Video was a short-lived series of video content available on GBA carts. I remember having a cart with

That was part of the intention of the second question. I don't have an answer for myself, unfortunately. I'm searching, of course.
