"Something is being covered up" That's an extraordinary claim - I presume you have extraordinary evidence? I mean... this is Hacker News, not a conspiracy website.

This was always going to happen, Atom was always doomed to fail. Why was that technology stack used to develop Atom? A browser window to render a text editor? If Atom wanted to take over the world, it should have chosen a technology stack t

That can't be correct, I get lots of traffic from China, and use Cloudflare. Unfortunately, the traffic is often SQL injection type garbage, so I'm going to be upgrading to Cloudflare Pro as it seems they block such traffic.

What is the cost to produce a page like this? Must be high, versus the cost of a normal article with inline images. I cannot imagine that the ROI is worth it. Therefore I think that this article format will disappear for economic reasons.

Are those cumulative figures? A bit misleading if so.

The technology is not nearly ready. Not in a city. It's like flying drone delivery. Easy to demonstrate in a single controlled setting, but nearly impossible to actually implement in the real world.

Self-driving cars in a city environment are like flying cars. Sounds kinda plausible, but the tech is always going to be 20 years away.

I found the multimedia presentation to be over-designed, clunky, unusable nonsense.

When did this type of website design become acceptable? I'm starting to see it more and more. It reminds me of when "Multimedia CD-ROMs" first appeared circa mid-1990s, where flashy interfaces were ranked much higher than use

A great startup. But the linked webpage... when did design like that become normal?

No please, don't turn this into a "people with power" can do anything rant. Reddit removed the sub because they were overwhelmed with DMCA notices. If the other sub you mentioned was also flooded with DMCA notices then it wou

So why not send your mobile traffic to Google Adsense, and the normal traffic to your current ad provider.

fizzbuzz is very useful as a pre-interview screening technique. But as the author says, it's 20 minutes of wasted time in an actual interview.

I presume that the content on your website is somewhat NSFW, otherwise you would be using Google Adsense or media.net to server the adverts. They give full reports, pay well, and in my experience pay higher for mobile browsers. You say that

"The only topic on which I manage to accumulate downvotes is Snowden/NSA related." Indeed, I got -40 karma on this story. Dissenting opinions are not tolerated on NSA stories. Therefore people who do not agree with the HN c

"Yes[1,3] and yes[2]. Have you been in a cave for the past two years?" Yes, the NSA can monitor specific targets. Do they monitor all Internet traffic worldwide? No, such a task is absurd and technically impossible. However I have

Think about it. You're saying that the USA spies on all non-US internet traffic. Does that make any sense? Is there any evidence? No and no.

by Dolimiter 12y ago
If you're wondering why you are being downvoted... The readership at Hacker News firmly believes that the US is a surveillance state. Stories are chosen and upvoted which confirm this worldview. Dissenting opinions are downvoted. If yo

Another top-voted article about the NSA on Hacker News that is thin on evidence to say the least. It appears to be hearsay from a disgruntled ex-employee. However I understand that the story fits the political narrative of the forums here,

I'm a "shill"? Really? This is the level of debate? Also, none of your links in any way prove that the NSA stores all phone calls. None of them. 1 is hearsay from someone, another talks about metadata, and another says that t

Requires node.js ... EDIT: oops I'm getting downvoted, sorry for mentioning the platform. For the record, I think that JavaScript is the perfect choice of language for a terminal text editor. I can't think of a single better langu

"Languages don't matter. Platforms matter. APIs matter. Playing nicely with the rest of the world fucking matters." Nice, I like that. Reminds me of the Discourse peeps, who rejected eg PHP, and wrote it in their pet language

Is anyone else puzzled that stories about the NSA are accepted as gospel fact when posted on Hacker News? The Reality Distortion Field appears, and people believe, because they want to believe. It depresses me, the lack of intelligent disco

Not sure about that. It eats processor cycles and chews up battery life. For no discernible advantage.

Indeed. Atom will never be fast enough. Because of the "cool" underlying tech chosen.
26.
by Dolimiter 12y ago
atom.io is not fast enough, not even close. Not for a professional developer who is using it 8+ hours a day.

What's there to talk about? He's wanted for questioning over sexual assault allegations. He doesn't get to have "talks" about that. He's not the messiah.

Worse was when they ran noisy auto-play video adverts last month. Every time I viewed an image, I was faced with "HEYY WAZAAAPP!!! JUSTIN BEIBER!!!" nonsense. I'm in Europe, the USA didn't get them, so there wasn't

It was Snowden himself who said is was office gossip. The only people reporting it as fact are those caught in the Snowden reality distortion field.

by Dolimiter 12y ago
Wait what? Snowden himself says that the source of the information was office gossip. This isn't a case of believing or not believing Snowden. It's a case of people taking a snippet of gossip and reporting it as true because they
