The anticompetitive part refers to social VR. Today we have multiple social VR apps (Rec Room, Altspace, Bigscreen and more). While Facebook aims to be a big player in social VR th…

Presumably, if you're smart enough to make a time machine, you'd be smart enough to calculate the target position in both time _and_ space.

That was a super interesting read (and view), thank you. I've been in Linux land for almost two decades, but I've also spent a week (or so) porting our Linux-based development envi…

The new package in Ubuntu Trusty seems to be broken. Not that Trusty is supported for much longer. See https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/591

My phone is made in China, from a Chinese manufacturer. How can we know this software isn't either pre-installed or installed via OTA updates?

I like it! Just chiming in to say that, to oppose all the nay-sayers you'll always get on HN. I think I heard a similar concept pitched on a Startup Weekend once. The problem then …

Looks like burning man.

I am the only remote person at my work. Sometimes I feel there's too much going on on Slack at the same time, and I haven't had any issues getting the information I need in a long …

I agree with this being frustrating. I had to explain to so many people that even though my watch doesn't have a SIM card, integrated 4G, GPS or a memory card slot for music it is …

I agree completely. And to expand on that, TypeScript with an IDE is a joy to work with in comparison.

I'm glad they don't go in the 'Python 3' direction, and as far as I've seen, the PHP core developers try very hard not to break too much of backwards compatibility at a time - whic…

Huh, your comment made me realize a new aspect of why I utterly failed at Tinder when I tried it, and have much better luck in real life. I guess I'm far more confident and funny t…

Hi! We are a team of 4 people participating in Startup Weekend Stavanger. This is an MVP made in 16 hours so we’d love to get some tester feedback to improve our product. Our produ…

Sounds just like the kind of half-crazy stuff NTNU students do when you give them some time to tinker. I heard a story from Samfundet where they were displeased with the speed of t…

Yup, it's BSSID. I took my router with me when i moved back home from university (and i changed the SSID first thing). For about a year my iPad would think it was still at universi…

Have you read the theory? Salary is not even a motivational factor. Salary is among the hygiene factors, that (quoting wikipedia) do not give positive satisfaction or lead to highe…

Employees are very rarely motivated by profit/salary. See Herzberg's two-factor theory. This is not unique to our sector.

A very related TED talk: The way we think about work is broken, by Barry Schwartz [1] I found the book in a bookstore this weekend, and I ended up buying the audiobook [2]. [1] htt…

Another attack that unplugging your computer and going to live in the woods would have defeated. More and more of the web is built on javascript, so opting out of a chunk of what t…

No, that's not like f/1.2 on a full-frame camera. But you have to consider the sensor size, and thus multiply by the crop factor. Most photographers know this about focal length (5…

* So if i deny the login attempt on my phone, an attacker who knows my phone number can still log in to my account? Email + phone number is not two factors, it's zero (neither is a…

Good point, you don't. But on the other hand, filtering out an email you don't want is easy (in most email clients), so you won't get a notification each time. I'm assuming this ap…

I'm intrigued! But a few questions/comments: * How is this two-factor? I only see one factor (a thing you have, your phone). Email adresses are not secret. * Again, email adresses …

Not really, I think. It was exactly as I expected. I once attended a mini-conference where he did a talk about PHP history. After the talk, someone asked a question about strict ty…
