It’s hard to read the tech news without coming across a Google-related story each day, and usually with a positive slant the MacBook Pro was widely parodied This reads more as a summarization of 2016 press sentiment than a rigorous anal

I'm going to try to implement this in my app. I use Firebase/Firepad for true p2p OT but it's become cumbersome. Do you have additional thoughts about communication channel implementation?

This is really interesting. Can you cite any research on how effective this variant of Sensodyne is or might be?

These are currently the rules in San Francisco and we do pretty well on the whole! You know, it's interesting that you say that we can't expect people to follow all those rules, but I just got back from Japan and WOW. That country

SF has a very high diversion percentage (waste that doesn't go to landfull). I'm not sure what tradeoffs go into getting that number, but I do absolutely recommend going on one of the free Recology tours. We went on a tour a few m

There's more to it than machine choice, there's also process surrounding the machines. The current process probably assumes a certain compliance rate of people "not putting soft plastic in the bin". In so much as we are

This is very irresponsible. The reason soft plastics are unrecyclable curbside in San Francisco is that they pose a very real danger to the machines that do recycling sorting. This is possible to overcome with greater manual filtering of re

Thank you for your thoughts. I thought they were very well written and totally becoming of what makes hacker news great.

In so much as America is a "global cop", it's because we actually directly benefit the most from "continued peaceful existence of the world". We do the most trade, we are the largest economy. We have the most to l

I am a pretty successful bootstrapped software engineer by most standards, and I disagree with most of the things you wrote, besides the wife bit (I'm not married). I've had pretty positive experiences pretty much the whole way th

What sort of ethical boundary do you perceive as being crossed? He appears to be providing work to Chinese painters looking for work. Do the painters self-identify as "artists"?

Looks like they found a way to generate nanoparticles that don't damage host cells, but target bacteria more or less exclusively: These star nanoparticles were termed ‘structurally nanoengineered antimicrobial peptide polymers’ (

While the author makes good points about the relative affordability of Berlin, one does have to wonder what the general plan for newsletter profitability is.

While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I think a better comment would have involved research and a more concrete position on why you think they feel "scammy" to you. Clearly they have large customers that pay them for a

I've been running a tor relay on the original beaglebone black for a couple years now and have been very satisfied. Would have LOVED the wifi model back then.

I really can't agree - one major area is CSS 3D transforms. Firefox recently broke stacking order (again) context in 3D in the 49 release, and continues to have very poor aliasing artifacts. Chrome/Safari/Edge have pretty sol

My opposite viewpoint as a web developer: Chrome is faster and renders better than Firefox is pretty much every way. Safari delivers faithful color reproduction and speed. I spent 10x as much time fixing Firefox rendering issues compared to

Hah, sorry, too many tabs open lately. I'll edit. Thanks for the answer.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I don't mean "does Deepstream tell the user when it's disconnected", I mean: Does the Deepstream client have a facility (like Firebase) to instruct the remote server to perform an actio

How DARE you tone down my click bait headline. This would have never flown when pg was in charge. He would have just banned me immediately, like God intended.

I'm sorry too, I kind of threw that in there without much thought. If I had to be more specific, I'd say that what you've done is really more like enshrining what you in particular have done at your company, without too muc

I gave a talk at Dropbox called "How to start a business without quitting your day job" that I think delivers a lot of the punch on this page without the weird culty vibe. Give it a watch (for free, obviously) if you like: https:

Stackdriver is an incredibly poorly designed, communicated, and implemented piece of software. It's not clear what it's good at or what you're supposed to use it for. Random, completely noncontrived example: 1. Oh, GCP wa

One wonders: if publishing a key fingerprint on a website in advance is considered a reasonable warning, would a torrent magnet link prove just as effective?
