"Something is being covered up" That's an extraordinary claim - I presume you have extraordinary evidence? I mean... this is Hacker News, not a conspiracy website.

This was always going to happen, Atom was always doomed to fail. Why was that technology stack used to develop Atom? A browser window to render a text editor? If Atom wanted to tak…

That can't be correct, I get lots of traffic from China, and use Cloudflare. Unfortunately, the traffic is often SQL injection type garbage, so I'm going to be upgrading to Cloudfl…

What is the cost to produce a page like this? Must be high, versus the cost of a normal article with inline images. I cannot imagine that the ROI is worth it. Therefore I think tha…

Are those cumulative figures? A bit misleading if so.

The technology is not nearly ready. Not in a city. It's like flying drone delivery. Easy to demonstrate in a single controlled setting, but nearly impossible to actually implement …

Self-driving cars in a city environment are like flying cars. Sounds kinda plausible, but the tech is always going to be 20 years away.

I found the multimedia presentation to be over-designed, clunky, unusable nonsense.

When did this type of website design become acceptable? I'm starting to see it more and more. It reminds me of when "Multimedia CD-ROMs" first appeared circa mid-1990s, where flash…

A great startup. But the linked webpage... when did design like that become normal?

No please, don't turn this into a "people with power" can do anything rant. Reddit removed the sub because they were overwhelmed with DMCA notices. If the other sub you mentioned w…

So why not send your mobile traffic to Google Adsense, and the normal traffic to your current ad provider.

fizzbuzz is very useful as a pre-interview screening technique. But as the author says, it's 20 minutes of wasted time in an actual interview.

I presume that the content on your website is somewhat NSFW, otherwise you would be using Google Adsense or media.net to server the adverts. They give full reports, pay well, and i…

"The only topic on which I manage to accumulate downvotes is Snowden/NSA related." Indeed, I got -40 karma on this story. Dissenting opinions are not tolerated on NSA stories. Ther…

"Yes[1,3] and yes[2]. Have you been in a cave for the past two years?" Yes, the NSA can monitor specific targets. Do they monitor all Internet traffic worldwide? No, such a task is…

Think about it. You're saying that the USA spies on all non-US internet traffic. Does that make any sense? Is there any evidence? No and no.

If you're wondering why you are being downvoted... The readership at Hacker News firmly believes that the US is a surveillance state. Stories are chosen and upvoted which confirm t…

Another top-voted article about the NSA on Hacker News that is thin on evidence to say the least. It appears to be hearsay from a disgruntled ex-employee. However I understand that…

I'm a "shill"? Really? This is the level of debate? Also, none of your links in any way prove that the NSA stores all phone calls. None of them. 1 is hearsay from someone, another …

Requires node.js ... EDIT: oops I'm getting downvoted, sorry for mentioning the platform. For the record, I think that JavaScript is the perfect choice of language for a terminal t…

"Languages don't matter. Platforms matter. APIs matter. Playing nicely with the rest of the world fucking matters." Nice, I like that. Reminds me of the Discourse peeps, who reject…

Is anyone else puzzled that stories about the NSA are accepted as gospel fact when posted on Hacker News? The Reality Distortion Field appears, and people believe, because they wan…

Not sure about that. It eats processor cycles and chews up battery life. For no discernible advantage.

Indeed. Atom will never be fast enough. Because of the "cool" underlying tech chosen.
