Because it wasn't the point of the story, even though everybody was expecting it. I imagine Jeff left it out to focus on the message he's trying to send.

TypeKit has a lot of countermeasures to ensure that the fonts are used according to the license, and not by anyone who isn't allowed to or through proxy's or something. I don't know the details but had a run-in with this in the past, resolv

Have the retina. It's an awesome machine, and his points are correct: * A lot of them suffer from burn-in, mine doesn't (I have a samsung display). I'm lucky! * The scrolling is jittery at times. Yes I do notice. * You can't really update a

$2 an hour? That's more than minimum wage in Estonia, a European Union country with most likely higher cost of living than China.

Thanks for this contra-point! Interesting to see Elon reply to this description. Personally I have more reason to believe EM than Eric, but still, as always the truth probably lies somewhere in between.

In the book "The Paypal Wars", an account of the almost complete history of Paypal through the eyes of one of its employees, Elon Musk is painted as a stubborn, semi-ass. According to the book, when he was assigned as CEO after the merger,

Exactly. It makes the contrast, one of the selling points, more noticeable than if everything around it was white. The black case of the previous kindle was in my opinion a very good design choice.

I see a lot of uninformed and unwarranted (apple-)hate in this thread. The removal tool, is a reference to how Apple includes the "SIM removal" tool with iPhones, which is just a paperclip. To me, it's obvious that you can just use a normal

How do you collect them, just in a directory or do you use some tool? I also collect sites and web-apps who's UI/design I really like on my personal wiki system, but it has a lot of flaws, i.e. they're not screenshots so if the site changes

I don't think so. The average filesize of a JPEG image on the web is what, 50KB? At those sizes, it's just not worth it to put a system in place that could introduce more bugs through extra complexity. Especially since duplicate images woul

Learning the syntax of programming for GPU is easy. The problem is porting algorithms to utilize the GPU most efficiently. This means taking into account SIMD architecture, warps, different kinds of memory, ... It's easy to port code to run

The advice of waiting until the friend has some activity logged sounds good, and possibly might give better results. The article though is completely subjective. These are things that can be A/B tested very easily, and should, before making

Is it really that important for sites like this to "be the first" or at least "at the same time" of other press releases? It was 12 hours, most of your readers probably didn't read about it yet, why not just post about it? I wouldn't have n

The bashing of MP3 in that article is unwarranted. I can't find any decent source, but I'm pretty sure a 192kbps MP3 is indistinguishable from a CD for 99.999% of the people. Especially with the crappy included headphones everyone is using.

So, this is why you top-load the crew compartment, and not side-load like the shuttle. There's no eject-system that could have saved a space shuttle in a situation like that since it would be engulfed by flames together with the rocket itse

That's insane, that's a bannable offense in Google. How do they still show up in search results?

Seconded. I don't have paid services I can compare too, but the free service I'm running generates some feedback that make me lose hope in humanity. Some people feel so entitled for something free, it's as if I killed their first-born baby

Yes, and it requires quite a low-level understanding of the architecture to "think GPU". SIMD, warps, blocks, threads, different memory types, no branching/identical branching per core, ... Some of this could probably be abstracted away but

Of course not, but once you have edge cases like a dispute, there needs to be a human who can view both videos and check who is right, instead of just starting another automated system. There needs to be a system in place to punish those wh

This is another symptom of Google's extreme "let's make algorithms do what people usually did". In an effort to automate everything and minimize employee-customer interaction, Google creates automated systems that work correctly 90% of the

I noticed this made me anxious every time I received an SMS. Best solution still, unfortunately. Putting a different ringtone/vibration pattern helps alleviate SMS-anxiety.

What would you suggest? A screenshot of the resource would be even less accessible for the majority because like it or not, I'm sure 90% of HN users do use Facebook. This is a major feature that deserves a place on HN frontpage (especially

At that point, one generally consults a specialist. In this case: please go see a doctor!
