Before anyone thinks Switzerland is some bastion of democracy, I'd like to point out that they've been very conservative in some areas. Women didn't have federal voting rights until 1971, and received nation-wide local voting

Maybe because it's a popular topic and many readers may assume it's linked. Of course it's also possible the author just wants to dramatize this event.

Sure it was bad, but not for those specific 5 years. When IE6 came out it was a really good browser. The real problem was that people were still using IE6 when IE7 was already out, and even when IE9 was already out.

Not necessarily true. HN has a "hide" feature for example, and if you hide some stories you will get a different top 30.

Blind trust in such a simply verifiable case is quite naive. You can easily open up the front page of HN as a logged in user and see that it contains information about which storeies you've voted for and which you've flagged. On t

Of course not, it's hyperbole. Your criticism can be applied to anything [1], because nothing will make someone hireable everywhere. The point is that if you go through a decent period [2] of running a start-up you will acquire experie

The fact that gofmt doesn't enforce some arbitrary line length is a blessing. I have a modern widescreen monitor and I use a maximized window text editor. I have no problem with 200 char length lines. I'm more easily annoyed by 80

The "games don't use CPU" line is only really true for multiplatform games that must also run on the low performance PS4/XBox One AMD Jaguar CPUs. If we look at PC exclusives [1] then we can see that these are extremely

Well said and I encourage you to continue promoting your product with this strategy. Being overly precise with lingo will result in a worse world where only domain experts understand what's going on.

Yes you depend on Apple's cooperation on iOS & Google's cooperation on Android. Even if you flash your phone with your own custom OS, your radio chips will still run proprietary firmware that can be updated over the air withou

You've set up quite a straw man here to take down. Amazon isn't actually offering this premium support.

It's not a bribe, because it only gets you in contact with a human and doesn't guarantee a solution. In addition, paying a few hundred $ is far less than losing your business.

Good question and I would say the difference is the current regime and their actions. Germans have been very cautious after WW2. They haven't been acting aggressively, they haven't been holding parades to celebrate Nazis as heroes

I assume you're referring to Trump not being happy with NATO members freeloading on USA. Estonia spends >2% GDP on military [1] as the NATO guidelines say. Thus, at least in regards of Estonia, Trump should be satisfied. [1] US, Gre

As an Estonian I can give a few hints. First, historic precedence. Russia has attacked & occupied the baltics multiple times. Imperial Russia occupied Estonia during 18th - 20th century, and Soviet Russia once again occupied for half of

One issue is that it's a prototype with planned future greatness. It's tricky to reach H265 compression ratio without touching patented methods. Even if they reach it, by that time H265 will probably have well-optimized encoders&#
