I just downloaded and played with it for about a minute. A couple thoughts: - it’s fast & menus are very snappy - cookies and history don’t come over from safari: that would be a nice feature - tiny download Nice work! Labors of love

YouTube wants it. Imagine all the grassroots movies. Already some of the Star Wars fan shorts are getting pretty good and the writing is already better than some of the movies that hit the theaters. YouTube wins when content is created by

For people who are interested, I highly recommend reading the bill. It's actually fairly straightforward, so I won't regurgitate the specific text, as you can easily read it on Page 6, lines 10 through 20. [0] The main situation

I think there is something much more fundamental going on... 1. Maintenance is expensive. 2. Maintenance of living systems is even more so. 3. People hate spending money on maintenance. 4. You reap what you sow. We can&#x27

Given that redundancy is considered harmful, you probably want to create a ConsideredHarmful class and then a ConsideredHarmfulFactory to make for a more enterprise-ready structure. :)

Yes, but that bedrock is way down there. From [0] : “Construction of the John Hancock Center began in 1965; however, was stopped in 1967 because the building kept sinking. Because of the John Hancock Center's lakeside location, 57 conc

If it were more than 65 million years ago there would be no evidence due to plate tectonics destroying all evidence. Still could be on the moon or another planet though.

So, basically fiber optic technology but without either the fiber or the focusing lenses? Neat.

If you read the article, it seems to be the huge amount of Russian spying that is causing the issue. So much so that western countries don't like sharing intelligence with Austria. As far as "Anglos", Americans are barely ev

I agree completely. I'm trying to highlight that this is a particularly egregious way of counting users. I fully expect that if this continues past a few months, then shareholders will demand real numbers ("active" users) as

And you will continue to be a user because if you delete your account, your instagram goes too. More of Zuck cheating at life.

MoM numbers can be bumpy and bounce around a bit every month regardless. YoY numbers smooth out that bumpiness. It's very possible that next month we see numbers go up, which would make this report an outlier, and the YoY numbers more

If you look at the pictures from the link, the Windows 9 screenshot has a much better use of space. The two screenshots have almost exactly the same functionality, but much worse use of space. So while I agree with your comments, I still h

“ As I’ve told colleagues and upper management, Canonical isn’t the company I excitedly joined back in 2011 and it’s not a company that I would want to join today ” Pretty damning comment. I don’t know the backstory here, but it seems aimed

I really hope that when the Pi 5 comes out that the one thing they change is the number of PCIe lanes in a meaningful way. As much as I’d like all sorts of other improvement, this one improvement is far above the rest for me.

The J&J case over talcum powder showed that you cannot in fact do that. But to your credit, even they thought they could until a judge said otherwise.

Strong disagree here. Regardless of whether is does well enough to cover costs, they’ve made a pretty decent breakthrough in de-aging an actor who is very well known both in old age and at his younger age. That will help storytellers presen

This is a great article, and I pretty much agree with everything in it. However, I want to comment on a bit of the discussion about hammers and carpenters in the comments on HN. Let me put this briefly - carpenters learn about wood way more

Maybe VP 2.0 already shows enough gains that this is a smart choice? Obviously this is just one of many cases.

TSLA net income ~12.5 billion TM net income ~2.5 billion The relative valuation seems about right. Also, your P/E ratio for TSLA seems really high. It’s about a third of that.

I’ve been reading geek blogs and tech sites for years, and I’ve never heard of Gear Patrol. Based on this, my hunch is that DPReview will go here to die and in the future, Amazon will be able to say “we had nothing to do with its death!”
