Fair or not, when I think of Stanford I think of Brock Turner and Elizabeth Holmes.

Given the choice between a mall with paid parking and a mall with free parking, I'm picking the mall with free parking. Even if there's some sort of validation system if you buy something, dealing with the whole ticketing system o

In the Charging Estimator section on their website, they think that a Model competitor gets 21 mpg ( https://www.tesla.com/models ) and gas is $2.70/gallon, so I would expect it to be based on that.

Xcode has a Touch Bar simulator you could have used

Yeah. Anyone remember WakeMate? They had nonstop problems with their hardware. And Lockitron had yield issues for two years on their deadbolt operating robot before cancelling it. Hardware is hard.

I love the part where I type complex systems into existence. The part where I have to figure out the complex systems other people have typed into existence, not so much.

No. I actually really like Apple hardware, and can usually deal with the limitations. I was hoping Apple would offer a USB-A port and 2TB of storage on the 13" MacBook Pro, but I still ordered one without. The graphics and memory limit

Xcode will never work on a non-Apple OS. It's just too tightly integrated.

Apple built a new MacBook Pro keyboard without the Touch Bar for the low-end 13" version, so they theoretically could put that on their higher-end versions too. Maybe they should make the Touch Bar a no-cost CTO option for all MacBook

As a child, I never really understood Peanuts or its appeal. If Peanuts is about childhood, it's from an adult's perspective.

Tesla has already said that the Model 3's safety features will come standard, though it wouldn't preclude such a lawsuit against the owner if the features weren't activated.

You seemingly missed my comment about Apple machines not being developer-oriented. A developer isn't Apple's target user. Why not? A MacBook Pro is standard issue for developers at most companies, and there are proba

A 1.5TB or 2TB drive would be nice too. My 1TB is full.

I'm voting with my wallet by not buying the headphone-jack-less iPhone 7, but I don't think enough people will care about the lack of MagSafe. It doesn't prevent you from doing anything, and with everything going SSD (i.e. no

No doubt you'll be able to get a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ethernet adapter

by kylec 10y ago
As long as there's at least one standard USB-A port, I'm OK with this. I can just replace my Thunderbolt cables and dongles.

I have a theory: the people who love open offices are the same people who love living and working in a city. It feels like the same sort of debate, just on a different scale.

If I had a suburban employer with a giant free parking lot (i.e. letting me live anywhere) moving to a downtown office in a hot real estate market without at least a 2x salary increase, I'd quit in a heartbeat. Same h

The same for the public transport -- in cities where rich people use it, the service is better I wonder which is the cause and which is the effect here. Maybe some cities were proactive in improving their safety and public inf

In articles and discussions like this I often feel like I'm in the minority by preferring to live and work in lower density areas. Living, or simply visiting, cities is stressful to me, and the benefits of doing so are not worth the do

Yup. Sitting here in an open plan work area reading about open plan work areas on HN. Maybe once everyone goes home I can get some work done.

Cubicles are a compromise - no one likes them because they're either still to open or not open enough depending on who you talk to. I'd still take a cubicle any day over an open plan though.

What do you think of the Model S? Because that's a hatchback and it seems pretty popular.
