That’s so short sighted. Sure, if we stick with what everyone uses now everyone will be supported. They only way to move towards those greener pastures is to have companies actually support them.  MS hasn’t supported the port, and is intent

AKA, we don't care about the future, cater to what people want now. I guarantee most people would be thrilled with one cable for everything, making a step towards that halfway through 2017 seems reasonable...

Heck man, I didn’t say take away anything, just add USB-C. Perhaps take away a USB 3 port for it or something. They’re now making a stink about “People who love USB-C love dongles. so we have a dongle for you” so it seems like they’re going

Intentionally omitting a USB-C port kind of reveals how petty microsoft is being. Deciding to omit backtracks from a nice universal standard presumably to intentionally hinder Apple who put all there chips in it. Now accessory manufacturers

I think the article details well how useful you are to facebook even if you are a light user. They get info you still say, they get what sites you visit and what content is there, they get what you and your friends say to each other... like

One of the things that got me to leave was how crappy facebook has gotten for actual communication. This part of the post really resonated with me > If you’ve ever had that conversation, you’ve noticed that there’s a big disconnect betwe

I know it might not be their shtick, but I wish the post focused more on the "publication independence" part of the criticism. Giving Google control over prioritizing a subset of the web, and letting them optimize for it, just giv

There's been a lot of public outcry because coastal sanctuaries seem like the only place you can give these animals close to what they need "artificially". What it really boils down to is if you love someone, let them free, e

Oh my gosh, one of you shows up in every thread about Soylent or veganism talking about how we need 30% protein in our diet or something. As I went vegan I went from benching 120 to 200 with about 20% protein intake, and it was fine. We don

"You wont have the government standing between you and your internet!" is the response I've seen around. I'd really love to see if there was any legit defense of this action though...

Sounds like money better spent to me than the 5 trillion dollars in global fossil fuel subsidies in 2015, or 500 billion just in the US[1] That 5 billion number for Musk I think is a grand total of all subsidies, spanning all time. [1] htt

I'd say it's all awful, one being worse doesn't make the other better.

I believe they are saying times change and some things that seem fine to most of the populous currently seem monstrous later. It's a lot easier to dismiss if you interpret it as you did, though.

I think splenda is a good example, in the end after killing thousands of animals to approve it people discovered it can actually cause weight gain[1]! Kind of destroys the original reason for it. That's the thing with models, they&#x27

Sure, if unions pumped out lies to uber employees of the same magnitude that'd be bad, but it's not what we're talking about and don't have evidence of, so pretty irrelevant. Also, "neither is worse than the other&q

When you talk about people dying for science is it Marie Curie and the radiation poisoning, or Nazi's testing hypothermia? One is someone boldly (of her own volition) pushing the bounds of science, the other is an oppressive group perf

I wonder why this is sitting at the stop when the MS critique with less votes in less time in at the bottom of the page? Hacker News story placement can be confusing at times. I would understand if they have some tech centric metric somehow

If their algorithm causes such a positive feedback loop that only the most vapid of our content is seen I argue that is still Facebook's problem. People already complain young people are superficial and self interested, algorithms feed

I think it's because the ideals of a start up and co-op are at odds. Start ups typically want large success, and are more pitching in for a gamble. What this person is talking about, and I imagine many co-ops are in general, is just wa
