   It boils down to personal preference I suppose. I'm used to the tech press mixing opinions & facts, and probably unreasonably expect actual practitioners/inventots of tech to omit opinions, especially omniscient, overarching,

   But my reasoning is spelt out clearly in my first post- I find the opening statement of the article to be a frivolous hyperbole in a world facing cancer, global warming, hunger, poverty, antibiotic resistant infections....

   I'm entitled to my opinion just like you're entitled to yours, and my opinion happens to be negative, the reason for which is spelt out clearly in my opening salvo. I'm stunned that you think your point of view is somehow the

   Also, please note that the author is a professor at NYU. I'm certain of his higher intellect than mine, humbly noting. However, he's no stranger to peer review, both as an author and reviewer. The opening statement of this post ju

   Anywhere - free speech IS non negotiable, free speech IS essential. However, intelligent speech is what I expect to gain traction on HN. There's plenty of free and inaccurate speech on the internet. I mistakenly expected a democratic,

   In a world dominated by hyperboles, opinions, click bait and general Fox newsification, I do realize that demanding unbiased facts can be an alien concept, but generally expected the hacker news community to embrace this thinking. I'

   "The most important thing for humanity to do right now is to invent true artificial intelligence" Maybe the article makes some valid scientific points, but I simply cannot go past this unscientific opening claim to a purportedly

    Because they want to profit from it. BTW - the kernel layer is GPL-ed and is already available in source form with the Ansroid x86 project. The Android layer is Apache licensed and they are't required to open source it, or using your o

    It's not X server that's important. The Android Linux kernel has different modules enabled/disabled. For instance, standard IPC is replaced by Binders, and kernel module loading is typically disabled. What you need is a super

    I hope this gains traction. The more interesting thing would be the UI of Android/Jide and all the apps running in parallel with legacy Linux. For instance, they recommended installing on a flash drive, but want the drive formatted as

    I don't understand this - every product & service sold in the open market - from baby formula to clothing, from a meal at a restaurant to a flight - relies on competitive advantage that's proprietary to the seller. A mindset t

    So your argument is: Stallman is a moderate when compared to a hypothetical software terrorist? In the real world, Stallman is still a radical. The English meaning of the word freedom cannot be twisted for suiting one's philosophy. Tru

    Do you use a constant N in your N-point FFT? What is the N value? I can do the FFT implementation in javascript. You have to figure out how to pass audio samples (Raw PCM?) to it.
