Unrelated, but the MacRumors thread that's linked to has someone posting about neighbors harassing them by doing things such as "moving my cursor all over the place and speeding up the temperature, causing the fan" and that t

There's no point in your life where you'll cross some barrier and think "well, I'm successful now." Stop caring about it so much and focus efforts on better things: finding fulfillment in doing good work, nurturing

With many of the lower-end laptops, price-wise, having ~128GB of SSD space, yes, it's a concern.

How can you be very privacy conscious yet lack ownership of the phone number that your Telegram account's registered on? Whoever takes ownership of that number can easily lock you out of your account while retaining access to everyth

On an unrelated note, this is a pretty nicely designed website, OP.

The problem is overbooking, though. Corporations are getting preferential treatment by being allowed to sell services which they're not going to fulfill. The boner people on HN have for objectivism really does get quite old.

Rather interestingly, you see this sort of mirroring in other areas of neuroscience as well. One example is the simple cell receptive fields in the visual cortex [0]. If you take a natural image, slice it up into a bunch of small patches, a

I found Gibson's writing style to be a bit difficult to get into when I first started reading his work. I started with Neuromancer and I'm currently reading The Peripheral. At first I was a bit mad -- it seemed to me that he left

I'm rather doubtful this is true. Any sources to back up your claim?

This isn't about "showing off morality." It's about making the tech community welcoming to people of all genders. Your attitude is part of the reason that doing so is so difficult.

He should change it. Regardless of the intention, this is how it will be interpreted.

Seconding this. I'm now unable to use CAPS LOCK on my Mac as ESC, which makes using vim slightly more of a pain.

Exactly what I was reminded of when I saw this. Very cool stuff.

This is some of the best pop-sci writing I've read in quite some time. Hat's off to Carl Frederick; itching to go read some of his science fiction now.

I generally agree with Stallman here, in that people should be allowed to use pseudonyms, but I often wonder if the pseudonymity that places like Twitter, reddit et al. provide just serves to facilitate widespread abuse and harassment. Onli

Hopefully this pushes Signal developers to transition from a Chrome app to building a desktop-native client.

I dream of the day that I can program while backpacking through the Appalachians. Also, title should be fixed -- "Excerise" -> "Exercise".

I believe he's talked about how Soylent, for a lot of people, is meant to replace meals that you'd rather not spend time cooking and cleaning for. i.e., not social gatherings and BBQs.

Yep, just checked. It's not here at all. Were you asked to sign in again after you revoked?

The amount of self-aggrandizing and general contempt for people I see on HN really astounds me sometimes.

I'm running iOS 9.3.2, and signing in to Pokemon Go caused it to have full access to my Google account. Just revoked it and looks like I can still play the game just fine. Perhaps they misconfigured the Google auth sign-in? It's r

It is a bit discouraging. And keep in mind that the game is technically still in Alpha, everyone.

I find it interesting that there are so many complaints about the UI / keybindings. I agree that the keybindings are a bit confusing once your start, but I didn't find them to be that difficult to master. No more difficult than sa

Moving through the activity made me feel very uncomfortable, to the point that I simply stopped and closed the tab. I wonder -- supposing others might have had this same experience -- how this might affect the data.
