I feel like this is pretty important since the article is talking about the comparison in the first place. Here's a couple blog posts on the subject, which I think explain it better. http://www.dustmop.io/blog/2015

In all fairness, it has that too, along with Pandora, a Grocery Manager app, and some other things. http://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-rf4289hars-refrigerator...

It sounds more like they're integrating their stores with their online site. You scan the register you're at when paying for something, and then you can pay with the app -- you probably need your credit card info saved to your Wal

Static analysis doesn't have to involve typing, but it is only about a program reviewing your code for potential issues. Whether or not it is interpreted isn't important.

The short and sweet version (and heavily paraphrased) version is: If you're tired in the afternoon, you only need a literal moment of sleep to feel revived. You can do this by sitting in a chair, holding something in your hand (a key,

I doubt it, simply because the feel of the game is such a significant factor which an algorithm presumably has no regard for.

You might be correct, but the SC2 engine (which also powers Heroes of the Storm) seems to run significantly worse than Overwatch engine on my computer. The content of each game is so radically different that the comparison might not be appr

While the title is obviously geared for sensationalism, I think the question the article is actually asking is whether or not a gimmick (for lack of a better term) like a documentary style horror movie, and having people go in the theater n

I don't have a use for it, but I like the simplicity. Maybe this is a strange question, but why no pornographic material? I'm more curious about why you'd bother to single it more out than anything else. It seems to me that t

To be clear, the article you link is arguing against the graph at the top. > Solar panels, according to Weißbach, generate four times as much energy over their lifetimes as it takes to manufacture them. Unfortunately, Weißbach also claim

For what it's worth, I'm not sure that line communicates the change correctly. Judging from the kickstarter video and the Steam store page, it looks like it was always a 2D game in a 3D world (glorious 2.5D).

I don't disagree but it's hard to say the internet hasn't changed. 15 years ago Digg didn't exist, Facebook wasn't even a concept, and no one ever used the term "social media." I wonder if the proxy intera

Given the profile of the submitter, I suspect that it maybe came up in a discussion somewhere and they thought it interesting enough to share with HN.

The problem on both ends is the tone, I think. The soylent guy is using really strong language to get you to think things are better his way -- he replaces his clothes rather than cleaning them, he replaced his kitchen/fridge/groc

You should really be allowed to click on a completely separate circle to start a new chain. I was initially unsure about how the blockers worked, that should be made more clear. For others, if you create a chain out of a prime count of numb

Perhaps it's related to the distribution channels. Apple sells through their stores and website, where they must take in a significantly better portion of the sale than through sales by carriers. Google sells through a website, but I&#

Do people go into Pwn2Own knowing the exploits they will use in advance? I'm not sure I understand the format of such a contest.
