https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#/m... Don't believe me? Fine. Pretend your little echo chamber is the whole world. I have better things to do with my time…

Not sure I get the point - Netflix with Chrome on Linux just plain works. I use it all the time. Stop trying to make Firefox happen. It's a rapidly dying browser. I see less than 1…

Yes, and no less than 3 of my former jobs required a photocopy of the card itself. You can argue legal requirements, or you can shut up and be paid. Sometimes it's better to be pai…

For "social security" benefits. Yes. And look how that's turned out. It's deemed proof of citizenship (and a vital document) despite being just a poor quality piece of paper. The d…

I'd argue "A citizen should _never_ have to register with the government" should really be the entire statement. Things like aid and whatnot should really be isolated and broken of…

Wow, someone has no freaking sense of humor. Getting flagged for a Danger 5 quote? Someone just lost all their nerd cred.

And as always... Kill Hitler!

Yes - looks like from his followup he's going with a D750. So, yeah, body swap. I guess the war continues :)

The one he was referring to in his post is 12MP.

Ups for google fit. I can tie my Pebble into that (at the moment), so it'd give me a leg up. So to speak.

To me HN is more like 1999-2004 era slashdot. Certainly not like reddit.

The concept is nice but I have a real issue with this part: Why do they need pixel tags for tracking, and why don't they support DNT? No 'new' website should put up with this. I'll…

That's what I would think. Just keep swapping out bodies to keep pace with the tech

My kids were also pretty bright, so I just taught them how to access info they were interested in... and got out of the way. When they came to me with tough questions, we would lea…

Very cool, I will certainly keep an eye out for them!

Their site: http://vectorwatch.com/vector-luna-smart-watch#luna-steel-bl... The watches seem to start around 350 euros I'll take a look on amazon :)

Great! Looking forward to seeing it. Might give me a reason to check out fitbit again :)

I'd prefer to see NVidia style drivers, personally. I don't give a rat's beans if optimized video card, nic, etc drivers are open. I just want a system that will work properly with…

/Slowclap :D

Neat concept - but the intro page there is a hard stop for me. You need to convince people why they should log in via your site, screenshots, overviews, etc. Right now, it looks li…

I think it's a given that anyone asking about cameras that high end is spending that kind of money. I brought it to HN from a different angle. Most photographers crop and downsampl…

I find the optimizations tend to derive from real use cases. In this case, both Windows and Linux are used for huge server farms. MacOS not so much. Apple probably doesn't spend th…

How about one where style pages via bf->js->sass->css

So delighted to see this :D I once fail/won with a paper in whitespace. I love the non-traditional programming languages. They're fun, whimsical, and sometimes a nice break. LOLCod…
