This product doesn't look to me to be compelling enough to switch away from Finder and ranger. I use Finder when I want to browse pictures or other rich media and ranger when I jus…

It matters when the tool you're using doesn't respect your privacy, yea.

You can't blame him. SF is a giant leftist bubble.

Why is that? Is Everytown's message so shoddy that it can't hold its own against a ten second NRA ad?

Ha. I think just about everyone with a pet has thought of that.. But, if actually given the opportunity, I doubt most people would take it!

Agreed. It'd be quite difficult to measure whether or not someone learns something new, anyway, because of the variety of things available to learn (large and small). If we're talk…

Expanding fact checking at Google? Fine. DuckDuckGo[1] it is for me, then. [1] https://duckduckgo.com/about

All of the subjects you mention at the end of your comment, especially memristors, are indeed the focus of neuromorphic computing. It's a nascent technology field, but there are pl…

Off topic kinda but I have to compliment you on the rig (the AK and watch are cool too). Mind providing some more details on it, what truck is it, how'd you find it, mods, etc.? Bt…

Wouldn't he have quickly shuffled the US into signing the TPP, then, rather than boldly rejecting it (which was confirmed by WikiLeaks/Asian press today)? https://twitter.com/wikil…

He wrote a "Contract with the American Voter", you know. www.track-trump.com

Sad that HN allows obviously hostile comments like these to remain... Anyways, Trump listened to America. He listened quite a bit. He not only visited and spoke to hundreds of thou…

To be fair, though, even if he had displayed a "pattern of deception [and] a lack of integrity" in his handling of federal grant money is not a valid argument against his climate s…

"Thank you, and goodbye! click " Hahaha. Very good.

Queue complaints about how acrobats' living/working conditions are just as poor in 3.. 2.. 1..

Oh, yea. How could I forget? I still use IRC on a daily basis... I don't think of it as a place to read news, though.
