> Only a tiny percentage of laptops are ever upgraded. Probably yes and that is also probably because behaviors like this. Manufacturers have trained consumers for years that upgrading of fixing stuff is not worth it. Personally, I have

I love how Apple claim to care so much about the environment and then goes on to create basically the most unfixable pieces of hardware possible. Great job, really awesome for the environment Apple.

Thank you, Germany. I love the EU and it's countries more and more for every news article like this.

Firefox is unfortunately becoming unrelevant. They have pretty much less than 5% global usage and it's not exactly increasing. Mozilla needs to sharpen up in my view. I use Brave because I like Brendan Eich and I am not exactly a fan o

If the title wouldn't include a description of what it is I would be very confused. There is nothing on the website that actually say what it is.

Google has become such a garbage company to be honest. Is anything they do nowadays good and honest? I think Google heavily needs to be split up.

rocket.chat perhaps. But it is still a webapp so the memory consumption will perhaps be similar.

Looks cool and all, but what are the benefits of using this over say normal js? I guess if you want to use other libraries, you still need to include them somehow in the build step or can opal take care of that as well?

The only issue I have with that is there may be other engines which are not electric but could still provide the same benefits.

We also can produce energy without fossile fuels and burning coal. I am not saying we should not stop putting out carbon into the atmosphere. I am saying that the idea that we shouldn't travel as much etc will never fly (pun intended).

Why though? Let's imagine we could create an electric plane for example and produce the electricity it uses completely carbon free. Why would that be an issue? I think this is totally doable, if we desire.

Sure, but it was just an example to illustrate my point. They hanven't been the good at all in recycling their products until pretty recently. They still try and keep people from actually repairing their devices which are perfectly fin

I am a swede and I am totally confused on why people in my country seems to totally have lost their minds. People only feel guilty about some things. These are the same people that buy products from "hip" companies like Apple whic

Perhaps not. Maybe the contacts you will recieve and the amount of money is enough to help you bootstrap stuff faster. I have never actually started a company myself, so I wouldn't know. I just think I would be extremely satisfied if I

The problem isn't really the site or the admins, it's mainly the community and moderators. They almost instantly lock new questions if they're not very specific, they are hostile and they're elitist. If you haven't

I have seen people say this on HN over and over again. But it's not like most people who start businesses lacks vision. If you got a vision and start to earn enough money to sustain yourself you are free to hunt whatever vision you wan

Ok, I get the desire, but personally I believe it's a bit fluffy. I'd love to be in your guys position and I have a hard time just understanding why you would want to give away control which is basically freedom, be essentially be

I don't understand. If they make money from the app, why not simply just keep working instead of letting go of a portion of the company? Sure, it is a lot of money they will get but it seems like they don't really need it?

I work remotely for about 80% of the workweek. I am most effective at home. At work people talk to me and interrupt me quite often. You get interrupted by people walking by etc or just striking up a conversation. At home this obviously neve

I love his book "Why we sleep" and I think most people today should read it. People take pride in sleeping less than they should which is pretty fucked up in my opinion. DHH also have a lot to say about it: https://m.si

Well then I won't see it because I don't use twitter. Seems like a good way to miss out on potential talent.

Your condescending tone is not very nice. DJI is great but they make small drones flying on battery, this is a bit different with the missions being completely different.

I am not really certain about all the details, but it looked like a good deal at first but it turned out that they probably just wanted to copy their stuff.
