   I'm surprised that a comment that started with "I'm no economist" and proceeds to claim a great many things without sources did so well on Hacker News. I wonder how well a comment like "I'm no computer scientis

   Wasn't native sharing always a feature of Android? Did Material Design change it somehow?

   This particular link has some info about that situation. GC pauses are deterministic starting Go1.5. Application code will run for at least 40ms out of every 50ms. The upper limit for the GC pause is 10ms and its typically lower.

   Debit cards solve the payment problem for me. They're accepted everywhere, so I've never seen the need to get a credit card at all.

   Just curious, why would you use this instead of the server in net/http?

   I can't say I've experienced any of the complaints about slowness that the other people have mentioned but this regression has really annoyed me. You could search for a song within a playlist and now you can't. I have no idea

   I actually assumed it was malware masquerading as an anti-virus.

   I think you ought to reconsider what the other guy said. His suggestions were quite good because they lead to simple, idiomatic code that relies solely on the standard library. You can read more here - https://medium.com/@ma

    If it was a German person making this claim against the FBI, I would be as sceptical as you are. However, this is a US Citizen who was held without charge and tortured. My only claim, and its a reasonable one, is that this sort of thing can

    I use MacDown for the same purpose - keeping class notes. I write in markdown and export to pdf. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

    By the standards you've asked, a great many crimes could never be proven. Anyone tortured or raped would never have any evidence other than their word that they had been assaulted. Should they be ignored then? It seems far fetched to t

    I wonder if you read the article at all or went straight to the comments. Your comment reminded me of the "banana" experiment that Ars Technica ran a while ago.

    What is the difference between a laptop designed for Windows and one designed for Linux? Apart from device drivers (graphics, Wi-Fi, bluetooth) which are usually not a problem, I can't think of any difference. Perhaps Linux might not l

    Its a problem that doesn't exist, but will in a few years from now. Those billions of sites depend upon advertising revenue. As ad-blockers have become more popular, the rates that advertisers are willing to pay has fallen. Eventually

    I don't think Source 2 was a surprise to many. Most of the people in the Dota 2 and CS:GO communities have been expecting it for a long time. Valve even explicitly stated[1] in early December that they planned "a major improvement

    I believe you do not lose that title after you step down. Bill Clinton is still referred to as President Clinton. And its not just for Presidents either, same holds true with other posts. Mitt Romney was Governor of Massachusetts from 2002

    So even if I do the bare minimum at work, I should be rewarded the same as someone who worked his pants off? Sure, that's fine. Just one thing, that guy who was working his pants off no longer has the incentive to work hard because his

    The downvotes might be because you're slightly mistaken about the level of control that Google possesses. While the code base of Android itself is open source, that means little because Google apps such as the Gmail, Maps and the all i
