Yep, I have a 2012 Fit Sport Manual. The Honda transmission is generally great overall, much easier to shift than my friend's Camaro IMO.

Another odd one, but my Honda Fit 2nd Generation. So many things about that car are so well thought-out, and even more expensive/luxurious cars miss things that the Fit designers included. Some examples: - Cup holder on the dashboard t

Now that would be an interesting side coding project -- auto-filter the fluff from Facebook comments. I used to subscribe to Zuckerberg's posts, and the comments were hilariously consistent. Uniformly positive, and approximately 80% of

I suspect the parent comment was meant as sarcasm, but in line with Poe's law, it's unclear without some kind of notation.

It's downright impressive how comic-book-evil this administration is. Next up, the white house will presumably be moved to a volcano base with overly large ventilation shafts.

Good. Those have been becoming increasingly prevalent to the mobile web's detriment. I don't mind a few ads, but many of these interstitials are downright maliciously designed, making the entire page load consistent on hitting a t

That hasn't stopped "buying expensive stuff for doctors to sway them" from being a thing, even now! http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873246951045784145...

Apple's trackpad drivers for Windows are some of the worst on the market. They just don't care.

Agreed, all the way at the bottom they almost seem to have a link to examples, but then it turns out that it's just a repo of examples that you can clone and serve yourself. It definitely seems like they're missing a huge part of

The article's main point is simply that change is not necessarily bad. You assert that transitioning from a volunteer effort to something with a year-round staff is a "legitimate criticism", but to others that is just part of

I love this breakdown; it really demonstrates how the "ruining" of Burning Man is no different than the sort of aversion to change that occurs with basically anything that people are enthusiastic about. * Bands? "They used be

I would hope that most people on HN are knowledgeable enough to agree with the EFF's take on EULAs -- they are of questionable legality, and "dangerous for consumers and innovators alike"[1]. [1]: https://www.eff.o

Which, in turn, would be a pretty impressive achievement, and certainly worthy of an HN story.

It's not "stealing" if you paid for a license. By your logic, jailbreaking an iPhone would constitute theft.

Facebook blocks Messenger.com for mobile browser user agents; you need to spoof your UA if you want to use it on mobile. (Some of the Facebook app wrappers can do this for you.)

My Amazon Fire works pretty well flashed to stock Android, certainly worth the $35. Once you get rid of the Amazon bloat it runs swimmingly, even with only 1gb of RAM.

I think this is the key issue that really muddies the Snowden issue. I completely agree with Snowden's leaking of the domestic spying program information, but he also leaked a lot of information not related to that. Foreign spying is b
