"Great. So can DuckDuckGo" No, I don't see a fast interactive graph when I clicked on that link.

Sorry but your comment is just hand waving. Can you give a specific example of those ad related sites Google "phones" whenever you go to any site on a vanilla Chrome installation?

Chrome is Chromium, the only difference is branding and dynamically linked plugins (PDF, flash) which you can disable from about:plugins or delete, then you have identical binary to chromium. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3034628 Al

What I actually meant was that your comment: "Frankly, if Steve Jobs is not one of your heroes, you're not a hacker in my book." is as ridiculous and preposterous as the opposite version I posted. Please don't try to categorize hackers or H

In a lot of countries there are government web sites and services that forces citizens to use Windows and specific versions of IE. Some of them used Activex, vbscript etc, The worst example I remember is an important web service for drugsto

I guess you should have a look at the language spec, there are answers to some of your questions and concerns. ( http://www.dartlang.org/docs/spec/dartLangSpec.pdf ) For example: " Dart supports optional typing based on interface types. The

Could you enumerate what actually made you hate it? Familiarity is not necessarily a bad thing, and it seems it was one of the main goals of the language.

I guess that was the intention, they bet on familiarity as well. Most changes are subtle, not necessarily a bad thing.

Interesting naming choice. The guy is Turkish, and "Coban" means shepherd in Turkish, it seems they preferred adding an i to the end to make it sound greek. "Yogurt" is also of Turkish origin.

Moore's law does not suggest order of magnitude performance increase in 3 years.

I lived in Istanbul for long time. I agree that traffic and some drivers are terrible, It is correct that they don't care about zebra crossings, but drivers obeys traffic lights in general. The main issue is density, too much vehicles, too

Can you give a reference about this assumption: "At one point in Android's development, Google was using Sun Java, and it is not really embarrassing to see the CEO of Sun congratulating google on becoming a customer. For whatever reasons, g

I don't see what you are trying to say. Google translate is a machine translator, it could be less accurate, but it scales very well. It is probably translating millions of pages per day. You are comparing a system to generate voluntary tra
