Of course there are multiple rationales for choosing a platform, but support is certainly one of them. A while ago someone made a nice graph of how good Apple/Google are at maintaining OS support for their devices, it's pretty inf

This is incorrect. Nothing changed as they are paid in CHF and spend money in CHF. If they buy products from abroad, their spending power just increased by 15%. It's not good news for Google, etc. as their Swiss employees just got 15

Captive portals really need to die. Fake DNS entries, URL redirects, injected html/javascript, false certificates, all are very annoying essentially train users on bad behavior, and provide opportunities for nefarious actors (either b

It doesn't mean you've paid off your debts, but it does mean you are paying off your debts. There is no need to pay off your student loans completely if the interest rate on them is low and you can do better things with your incom

Amazon is probably trying to correct publishers who copy+paste their hardcopy texts (from InDesign or wherever) into eBook format, taking with them artifacts from the print designer, like forced hyphenation. These artifacts from the print

Is there any hard psychological or neurological research being done on ASMR? Not to detract on people's experiences (I believe you!), but right now it looks as though there are a lot of different manifestations of the experience which

It's the other way around. Messaging apps need to demonstrate their own security by releasing the source code. So far only TextSecure does this.

I feel like there is a major opening for access point makers to simplify 802.1x rollout for all networks. Now it requires a whole bunch of steps only IT admins can do (RADIUS server, etc). Maybe your new Dlink router comes with an 'ap

Yes, that is certainly a real phenomenon. I was speaking about 'discrimination' in it's wider sense, however, as in that there are clear rules about a cabbie's ability to reject a hail based on certain factors (like di

I used to buy a CD or two every month. Then I started pirating all of my music (mostly out of convenience). Then pay-per-download options came along (iTunes), and I used that a bit, but it was still inferior to pirating. Then services li

The concept is that police are, in theory, bringing charges against the property. They are saying this property is being used in the furtherance of a crime. So where's the crime? Who's been arrested/convicted/sentenced

While there's a lot to debate in the article, kudos to Graeber for talking about a taboo. White-collar employees 'work' (periods of focused concentration) a lot less than 40 hours. There are exceptions, and HNers may deny th
