It's been years and there is no credible competitor to the Model S. Maybe it will be different with the Model 3, but until an equivalent car is on the road I'm not sure I agree with your statement. The Bolt - a nice car, and I&#x2

It amazes me that comments like this, more commonly seen in the comment sections on second-tier news sites, exist even on HN.

Curious what you mean by the quality of service dropping? I use both Lyft and Uber pretty regularly (multiple times a week) and have had only positive experiences in SF.

In the US, significant figures are included in standard high school science courses. That doesn't mean they aren't forgotten though.

The Nexus 4 was excluded from dev previews but still got Lollipop. I think it's possible that the same may happen with the Nexus 5 in this case.

VEX is arguably the manifestation of this philosophy. The team I mentor has multiple VEX teams along with a flagship FRC team. VEX offers a good deal of the excitement, learning opportunities, and more student autonomy for a small fraction

When was the last time you used Twitter? The first concern you mentioned is something they fixed a few weeks back. I'm still trying to understand the rest.

Interesting looking phone. I suspect many will buy it purely because of its unique appearance and the fact that it ships with an unlockable bootloader. But the "cloud syncing killer feature" seems like an incredibly complicated so

I fail to see how enabling a different billing plan for a music streaming service they already offer to Apps customers has anything to do with "stability" of the core products that enterprise users rely on.

I shouldn't even be surprised anymore when this happens, yet I still am. Why is what is fundamentally a different billing method restricted by account type? It feels completely arbitrary. There's a discussion on this going on ov

Webpass[1] has been pretty "disruptive." It's only available in larger buildings, but the service and price point are fantastic. [1] https://webpass.net/

Serious question: has any product or service of lasting value and success ever come out of an approach like this? It runs counter to most commonly-held beliefs on how great ideas turn into great products.

Is it possible they're using Amazon payments to process the orders? If so, an even greater dose of irony.

How does this actually work - are they actually creating more shares to give to the investors that bought in with this stipulation? Or are these shares coming from some pre-existing pool? I'm admittedly quite unfamiliar with this stuf

What does "their stake is being diluted in the process" mean specifically in this case? What exactly is getting diluted (does the issuance of extra shares to make up for the lower IPO price constitute dilution, or is it something

Curious what you mean by this, as it's overall one of the more polished products I use on a regular basis. Hasn't always been the case, and the Android app still does some weird UI things, but generally the product is solid and a

They're already selling Kindle and Fire devices in the store from what it looks like (presumably Echo as well).

Interesting, it looks like AppHub gets a bit pricey. It's not hard to build a basic version of this from scratch (just a basic update service running on a Droplet, and a routine in the app to check for new js bundles on launch and fal

The fact that this is included with Google Play Music is awesome, and really represents a great value for ten bucks a month (or $8 for long time customers). Also, 'Red' is a much better name than 'Music Key.'

I heard Pierre give a talk about LeakCanary at Square this summer. It's an impressive tool and I'm already seeing it become a standard recommendation from Google engineers and DevRel people. Props to Square for another awesome o
