It may not take into account things like health plan and other benefits but things like sick leave are definitely in favor of a contractor. 1,000 an hour is 1.9M per year. The hard part is finding a steady stream of gigs, you typically mak

Just to provide a counter point of view, I owned a Nest 1st gen for 2 years (before selling my house) and didn't have a single issue. I worked at home which means the smart scheduling was useless but the aesthetics and ease of use were

I'm not a fan of patents but I don't understand your comment. What exactly is violent about this?

I'm more amazed by how everyone on HN is so shocked by a computer on a fridge. We live in an age where powerful computers with touchscreens can be had for tens of dollars... what's so shocking about an underpowered computer on a

Looks great. Why such emphasis on "Ember"? Does the target audience really care what front-end framework is used?

I think most westerners think of freedom as the ability to do what you want when you want. This means freedom of speech, freedom to travel, freedom of censorship, freedom of dress codes. I'm not claiming other nations are completely f

Except the author hang had a stable release in months. Apparently is working on a rewrite but is doing so privately despite several offering support.

Not expensive in the US either... where exactly are you from?

I drooled when I saw it but I don't think I can justify a nearly $2k price tag. 128 GB isn't enough and I'd like the detachable GPU, which puts it at: - 256GB/i5/8GB/dGPU: $1899

The first one is uncomfortable to wear, which makes the Band 2 worth the price. No way I'd purchase something for daily use that isn't comfortable.

> Executions serve no purpose for society except to satisfy our thirst for revenge This is illogical. When someone is executed, the are gone... literally.

Probably both, as well as improved efficiency.

Did you read the article? > Musk didn’t elaborate on whether someone would need to drive just as slowly to reach 620 miles in 2017. We’d guess that’s not what he had in mind, though. He is saying that by 2017 he believes Tesla cars will

I don't think he was saying it was "absolutely" secure or totally or completely. Just that it was the "more secure" method, which is not an absolute. There may not be an absolute in security but there are definite

Because he's profiling, it's a survival instinct. He sees on the news daily about Muslims using bombs and blowing things up and he's associating it with this kid. He believes statistically that Ahmed is more likely to be ca

I agree, it's kind of ridiculous. I don't own an iPhone but "support" my wife, mother and mother in law who ALL have major issues with space and iCloud space to the point where they have to pay for additional money. The

If you think there's an 85% chance that Zu was somehow connected to the AM hack then you didn't read the article.

Some tweets may be a bot but it's clear someone is typing direct responses and tweets from this account.

I still don't see the problem. If this handle was directly connected with $x I would fully expect people to be discussing my handle in blogs/forums. Going to the cops is fine and dandy too of course. Krebs even clarifies "I

Why do they need to censor an alias account for someone connected to the hack? There is no "Zu", the photos of Zu and his locations are copied from the internet.

Quicker than what? And a framework choice doesn't guarantee a certain level of responsiveness, it also comes down to the implementation.

Why is it unusable for those people? Will they be held legally liable if something were to leak? Seems like Windows 10 is one of many services collecting anonymous information, what makes it different?

Looks like an awesome product and hardware but the SAAS model sucks (for us). Here's to hoping they release a LAN model for a one time fee.

The space you pay for is your seat plus space gained from reclining your seat minus space lost from person in front of you reclining. Why would you think otherwise? If you can't fit in the space designed then pay for a seat with more

I can't believe so many people see reclining as rude, it's the design of the seats. If the person in front of you reclines, recline your own seat. This product is like covering up your neighbors reading light because it bothers y

I haven't read your links or spent time researching but is this really the same thing? Seems like game companies can argue (and IMO be correct) that bots are damaging to the game and community. Technically you're "just"

Then don't by a "smart refrigerator" or connect your refrigerator to the internet. IoT isn't being forced on people, people are embracing IoT.

The goal of driving (for most) is to get from A to B, not entertainment. I agree, I loved my manual car but the masses prefer the convenience of automatic which is why manual cars continue to disappear. Electric cars will eventually replac

I actually didn't miss it, I was simply pointing out types of users who don't benefit from it to counter the "beneficial to almost everyone" argument. I realize there are many types of people who will use this product a
