"You seem to believe that he cannot possibly be an expert." Bringing up writing a compiler in relation to SoC design is, in itself, absurd. It undermines the expert claim to begin …

Run fast and go to sleep has always been the primary power policy. A sleeping core is obviously the most efficient core, however you have said nothing to discount what I said. Putt…

This thread should embarrass you. Christ, I'm embarrassed for you . I linked multiple real world demonstrations (both the technical data, and actual observations of these cores in …

The amount of CPU time you should be spending on these tasks is really low. Which is exactly the point. They are not CPU intensive, but the CPU is constantly doing a multitude of l…

You don't want A53's "handling the majority of the workload". Yes. You do. If I'm casually browsing non-intensive web pages, e-reading, or watching a Netflix movie, or even encodin…

The 808 is also a big little architecture, with two A57 cores and four A53 cores. The A53 cores will likely carry the vast majority of every day use, and redouble the battery savin…

I pay $30 for 6GB of LTE data per month (Rogers, via a promotional plan that they've offered countless times). And I generally use about 200MB in an average month as I'm virtually …

Updates to Xcode added what Android's tools have had for years, which is the notion of generating multiple binaries for different devices/profiles. Xcode then signs those independe…

Google announced smart updates and then enabled it (they had already been using this for Nexus system updates). There is absolutely nothing any developer or user has to do, so ther…

What does "too little, too late" mean? Is Android now doomed? Android updates have been incremental updates for three years now (introduced at the 2012 I/O, and immediately enabled…

The other comment about electronics is completely off the mark as well -- people often see financial transactions that don't seem to make logical sense (whether pricing bots that r…

I worked for years on AML systems for banks. This isn't money laundering. Indeed, I don't believe I've ever seen a "this is money laundering!" comment on a social news site that wa…

And the vehicles in question -- the ones that are causing VW these issues -- do not have any urea injection system. That's the whole point. http://ask.cars.com/2012/11/why-do-some-…

Both of those platforms use Urea systems, as do larger and more expensive VW/Audio vehicles. The issue is purely in the small, inexpensive vehicles. The NOx problems were mostly re…

i.e. incompetence and not malice The primary revenue source of many of these sites are ad clicks (impressions often don't matter). If the function paying the bills are ad clicks, a…

Aside from bot traffic, a significant percentage of "legitimate" traffic seems, anecdotally, to be engineered accidental clicks -- the mobile site that is constantly pushing conten…

The GM issue was enormous for literally years. Further the GM issue -- where key assembly had less torsion than expected, leading to the possibility of heavy keychains or unintende…

The same comment appeared regarding Stagefright as well. It has no place on a site like HN, and is just people repeating cheap comments. http://www.androidcentral.com/list-devices-…

After my post has been moderated down to the abyss, Marco has announced that he has given the app code to Ghostery, who'll certainly release an app in short order. And for which al…

Hats off to Marco for putting his ethics first, not the money. I find this sentiment, and the moderation supporting it, incredible and almost a demonstration of the Stockholm Syndr…

especially if you expected this app to be not very popular in the first place The anticipation about adblockers on iOS has been fervent and growing for a while now. Marco went and …

Makes sense, really, even if some posters can't seem to fathom giving up money to sleep soundly at night. This is like kicking kittens and then announcing to the world that you're …

and doesn't enjoy controversy So he went all in on something that was already hugely controversial (for weeks regarding iOS, and for years on other platforms). That adblockers woul…

I think people irrationally get offended by swearing As you said, there is nothing particularly offensive about what the person said (it certainly doesn't seem to be homophobia. It…
