All sorts of cool innovations are locked up in Apple's patent portfolio. Nobody else is allowed to use these features in their products, at any cost, without getting sued. As a consumer, if I want those features, I can only buy from th

Thanks for saying this so eloquently. I saw the headline and rolled my eyes, because as a consumer, I have absolutely no recourse for Apple's extortion. If Apple loses this suit, then we could feel smug that they have tasted their own

Why are you blaming the OP for your broken ad blocker? Forbes has more money to spend on blocking ad-blockers than the ad-blockers have to spend catching up. This a game of cat-and-mouse, and you chose the side with fewer resources. What di

I can see the benefit of an AI having access to more of your data (owning the whole experience). But can you explain why the hardware is so important? Why couldn't it be implemented as an app?

Sarcasm usually plays out very poorly on written mediums like this, but you nailed it.

Facebook is primarily focused on making React Native work great on iOS and Android. But the community is absolutely moving towards full cross-platform support. Windows is already supported, and there are promising experiments to run RN on U

This isn't supported yet, but if you care about it, you can upvote the feature request on product pains: https://productpains.com/post/react-native/android-home-scre... This will help the core team know what

I came across this issue last week and alerted the internal packager team about it. We'll get it resolved- even if the issue is avoidable, we can help people avoid it with better tooling, errors, and documentation.

Your ideas aren't even mutually exclusive! They could have multiple tiers of membership: a lurker who pays to read ad-free, a promoter who drives traffic and provides good feedback for free, or a quality publisher who actually gets pai

This is why you want to be a winner in a market with network effects. You can treat customers however you'd like once you've won. Ticketmaster has 'earned' this spot in the ecosystem, and the benefits that comes with. To

And once Uber squashes Lyft, there will be no competition again, and they can start treating customers as badly as Ticketmaster does!

Not surprising, given that the hype train was billowing at full steam. A friend of a friend interviewed there and eventually walked away saying "Wow. That is a lot of cool-aid" Meanwhile, teams like Oculus are reportedly trying to

Hey vjeux! I'm sure everyone here on HN would really love the story of how you first implemented css-layout. You had a really inspiring use of fuzz testing and TDD. You used a hilarious technique to implement it in several languages at

Interesting that Tennessine and Moscovium are named in honor of Tennessee and Moscow. I wonder many elements on the table are named after places.

If this had been posted on medium, nobody would have accused the source of being sketchy. Statements like yours encourage people to publish on big centralized sites, which are easier to control and censor. This centralization slowly erodes

If there is a 60x performance difference, why not put that information in the title? The title doesn't even mention uWebSockets, and it is clearly your intention to promote it. In the future, please avoid using link-baity titles like t

Its not likely that Apple will really start to embrace the web, but we can go the other direction! Somebody could figure out how to tie this into an Electron API. (It would be awesome to use the touch bar with Atom, for example) With a bit

From what I can tell, Milagro does more-or-less the same thing as Ethereum. In what ways it it different?

Why would it be a bad thing to support additional repositories? Personally, I don't like how centralized the JS ecosystem is. For example, if I refer to 'left-pad', it would default to 'npmjs.org/left-pad'. If

I'm ecstatic about this project but this demo was not the first of it's kind. It was demo'd live earlier this year at F8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzhHCcR6hic

I wish it were so simple. Most apps implement tabs now too, so you also need to learn Cmd-Shift-[ and Cmd-Shift-] to get around with the keyboard.

Google needs an OS that works better for realtime applications like VR/AR and robotics. Note how they spelled out how it is designed for a non-trivial amount of RAM. This is in contrast to the tiny hardware that a realtime OS would typ

I'm amazed that a trivial feature addition like this can make the front page of HN. GitHub may not be perfect, but they are clearly doing something right to win (or re-win?) the affection of the community.
