I don't see how it's immediately beneficial for just about everyone. I currently have a flat rate for kWh and no solar panel... and moving soon. It's not worth the $. In 6 months I'll be renting for a year, still not

Thank god! This means every Facebook (React) thread on HN and Reddit won't be half filled with patent arguments.

Google Plus (Picasa) supports unlimited photos under 2048x2048. This is much better than printing (4x6) in terms of quality as well. The question is what will happen to Picasa? Will it be free in 5, 10, 50 years? Will it be free? https:

Let's say it doesn't have any affect on their profits... hell, lets say piracy makes everyone MORE money. Does it matter? Shouldn't content creators still have a right to say who gets their content for free?

The wonderful thing about being a consumer is that you have the right to purchase or refuse to purchase anything you want. If an audio book disallows you from reselling, don't buy the audio book. I disagree with invasive DRM but in n

How? It benefits me as a consumer, I'm excited to put Windows 10 on a Pi. It benefits the RPi foundation (assuming their sales go up).

Well I have a B+ and installed Raspbian for a little home energy project that reads from my smart meter over serial and pushes the data to the cloud. The programming was easy, I spent 5x as much time trying to get things installed. Finall

And there's nothing wrong with that. Kids will be more productive on Windows and more likely be able to take those skills with them. How many kids need to know linux in the future? Here's what the Linux trend looks like: http:

I completely disagree. I used Ubuntu for a year and I spent more time fixing things or trying to do things in the OS than I have in all other operating systems combined. My nephew tried to install Ubuntu on his new build and hit brick wal

Because the web is changing at light speed and the frame work they designed years ago requires more than a bandaid to adapt. It doesn't mean it's not "good", it's just not great. The dev world is very opinionated,

I believe the hover is throttled to avoid constant animations, so maybe 100ms before it'll draw the tooltip.

Why do you find it intensely irritating? Google's a massive company that employees all sorts of different professions and types of people. This puzzle isn't targeting you, seems successful to me.
