I'm not a tech wearables person, but many of us are used to wearing semi-valuable watches on a daily basis. I wonder what that transition is like.

I get you're being sarcastic, but I've heard that immigration doesn't actually have an deliberate effect on wages.

>it's been my default video app since I can remember. Curious as to what you think about MPlayer, MPC-HC, or mpv, which have mostly taken the crown in nerd circles as being the de facto video players.

If it's encrypted, it's harder to sync across devices is what I assume, but I'm not sure. Lavabit seems to be doing fine.

As a teenager in America with immigrant parents, I'm surprised at how few people understand metric units or even the universal dating system and 24 hour time. Foreign language classes are the only things even bringing this stuff up whe

Everyone claims that the PC market is dying. I don't fully understand. I get that you could theoretically use Android, iOS or any other mobile OS full-time, and I would consider using one like that maybe one day. But for now, the world

No offense to the author or OP, but I think most people on HN know that you can use your hosts file for adblocking. It's not something I like to do because it's not very flexible, especially if some sites block ad-blocking users.
