This is going to revolutionize computing. It took Microsoft to step up and develop something revolutionary to how we interact with our devices. And the best part is not that it's just one device, but all devices. I can use this at

I think science articles should be banned from HN. The userbase is clearly not educated well enough to deal with the issues. It only produces comments from armchair scientists conjuring up whatever pet theory they can explain away the res

Getting the poor out of the city won't be easy. They don't have enough capital to fund a relocation on their own. The government will probably need to ship them out on rail cars. Once the undesirables vacate their homes, those

Uber publishes secret key. Uber ignores security breach for half a year. Uber sues third party while trying to repair damage caused by their own failings. At this point the identity of the hacker is irrelevant. The data is in the wild, Ube

Are you addressing me specifically? Hn does not give me the option to downvote direct replies to my comments, even if I wanted to. Someone else on this website felt your comment deserved a downvote.
