I could not agree with this more but I would argue that many parents buy homes in suburbs specifically because the school districts are good -- to put it succinctly, parents buy access to good schools, not good homes.

It should be noted that IMDB is owned by Amazon, but setting that aside it most definitely is unfortunate to see that so many great films are locked up behind licensing barriers. We may never see them get released into public domain.

That's more indicative of the agitator movement "Black Live's Matter" and the disgusting mainstream media that assists them in provoking the general populace. The death of black men at the hands of the police is unrelate

I would love to have more privacy-focused features and more distance from the whole "everything's public" mantra -- following a user without anyone else knowing, following a user for only a specific hashtag, private-only hash

The votes were going up and down pretty quickly and hard, HN has a well-established policy of killing controversial threads and submissions. I don't blame the mods for killing it, and nobody should jump to conclusions or accuse censors

This is it -- much like how getting caught in a tsunami is not very interesting itself, it is the debris (which includes vehicles and other large objects) that will kill you and otherwise cause devastation.

Agreed on Hangouts. When they removed SMS integration in favor of their new Messenger app, I was saddened. I cannot fathom why they would remove features and retire Hangouts.

Similar Nexus-only owner here -- Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and now Nexus 6P. I skipped Nexus 6 (released between 5 and 6P) and I'm afraid I will also skip the initial Pixel line in favor of what's next. Depending on what's next, I ma

Looks like yet another product that Google will abandon quickly due to lackluster interest. There is absolutely no indication that the people behind Allo will make any effort to mitigate the clear and present problems. Sure, it has a couple

Taking a piss in woods managed by Fish and Wildlife Services will land on on the sex offender registry, if caught. It's absurd.

I'm more interested in how far popularity has crashed. I was previously interested in the game but Niantic has shown zero interest in being responsive to the community's concerns.

But why? What is wrong with latino/latina?

There is a term used in the article -- latinx. I have never heard of latinx before today. What's wrong with Hispanic? Why invent a new term?

Bump that up to 99.99% and you'd be right. There are a lot of big .Net heavy-duty apps that are wedded to Windows.

It's a common API for things like networking, IO, threading, serialization, and so forth. Library authors need to do refactoring to achieve compatibility across .Net Platform (old stuff, Windows-only) and .Net Core (new stuff, cross-pl

Still no async/await for ES5 build targets, but other than that a plethora of excellent new features.
