I consider this harmful.

Don't you know? Higher is always better! 5 Ghz in my laptop, plz!

Off topic: Always define your abbreviations. To find out what CNN stands for here, you either have to read a comment thread on HN, or go to the paper and read the introduction. The…

Am I the only one who thinks that Apple was turning around independently of Taylor Swift? It seems to me that they had heard the criticism before and then used it as an answer to S…

I don't think Swift is so influential as everybody thinks. Apple turned so fast after her open letter, it makes me think they were already thinking about it. Not that Swifts letter…

While not wrong, as the UK is in Europe, it is a misleading title.

I'm unionised, working in IT. In Norway, basically everybody is in a union.

If the company wants to hire you, they will want to negotiate a deal that works for both parties. Crossing out and signing might be a bit harsh, but there should be no problem sayi…

Maybe the colleagues should start working in some kind of organization? Then they could get real political weight.

If I remember correctly, the patient "died" after the game got too much press, and the server crashed. Instead of rerunning the game, they called it a success. Couldn't find it eit…

So basically, while HTTP/2.0 could force TLS, the world could still be like it is today, with some pages running web servers with HTTP/1.1 without TLS?

For how long will HTTP 1.1/1.0 live alongside HTTP/2? It's all nice if every web page has TLS, but if I can just not upgrade to 2.0, it will not matter at all...

There should be a karaoke bar when playing the instrumental. Also, high seems to be low for me?

According to wikipedia [1], make appeared in 1976, so it should be younger than C. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)

As this is an issue of copyright violation, I don't have any issue with this. A DMCA complaint fixes just this. A few years ago I got an email from a TA in a subject I took the yea…

Inkscape has been a project for 11 years, why the hesitance to have a version number above 1.0?

Please do argue javascript. How else could you do dynamic and logical operations in the browser presently?

Really? Do you mean people chained together multiple processors, or that Intel produced something? For I can't find it and would be interested in reading about those old systems.

I'm not saying they would be fine now, but once (10 years ago), that was what you had. And now we have 4-8 cores on our laptops, and 2-4 on our phones. Why shouldn't we have 64 cor…

I don't like predicting the future. > So give up on parallelism already. It's not going to happen. > End users are fine with roughly on the order of four cores, > and you can't fit…

Absolutes are dumb. Practically, a CPU is throttled on memory access, but it is not hard to imagine scenarios where the computation is the bottle neck. For instance, if most of the…

What's your source on Uber and AirBnB actually endagering life and causing damage? I get that you might not like their business plan, which is a totally legit opinion, but a claim …

Last commit made 5 months ago, and no updates on the project anywhere. Seems abandoned.
