If you have a SmartTV or similar smart device, not much. At least Chromecast gives you the ability to "cast any tab" from Chrome, whereas this stick doesn't seem to even have that. Like you, my living room TV already has Netf

I think this is great advice. While I've only contributed to a couple open source projects and haven't lead my own large ones, I completely agree. There's more to submitting patches than writing the patch- understanding contr

Had to re-watch a couple times: on that move, white had already moved pawn from g2 to g3, the knight from d6 to e8 is a pre-move that happens very quickly (you can see the red square); while white was setting up that pre-move, black moved t

In the Boston area, one ISP already does this (for Netflix, at least). Not only do I get flyers in the mail, but they also advertise online[1]; though that page has been updated to highlight some new feature with TiVo boxes, it used to spec

Does that mean it stores values for fields uses with credit cards, for example? Because that doesn't seem like a great idea.

How often is it repeated on HN that ideas are great and important, but implementation is the key? Why is it a problem if there is more than one version of the same concept? What if some people just aren't creative but are great when it
