I've found a solution which I presume is the one you have in mind, though it's worth noting that it doesn't work in Firefox at the moment. Feel free to add a link with your answer later on, just in case you came up with somet

This looks like it would be very useful to me. A pet peeve of mine is when an application does not use a monochrome icon in the menu bar. I don't suppose you could offer a monochrome option for the percentage, turning it the same colou

Based on their blog there are no more tablets to ship, but if the words of an unfamiliar HN user mean anything to you, I can verify that I received the first half of my refund two days ago.

While it is hardly a discoverable feature, you can override custom context menus (at least in Firefox) by holding SHIFT and clicking.

Since you've already brought it up as "blabbing" - why do you dismiss basic income as a solution?

There is actually a growing middle class - the Donju - earning money through the black market. They certainly have enough resources to (over)feed themselves - and buy expensive electronics. As for the larger population, while most of the co

No, I have used OpenVPN throughout the betas without issues, and OSXFUSE added support in version 2.8.

It has to be a method that can not be accessed by malware - the very thing SIP is meant to protect from. I believe that is the reason the option ended up on the recovery partition.

I certainly understand what you are saying, but I must repeat the essence of my previous post. For something so critical, there should simply be too many safeguards for any test to make it through all the way to end users. If a test update

Microsoft _should_ not be anything like where you work. I'm not a Windows-user, but if I were I would hope and expect that the update mechanism for one of the worlds most used pieces of software was closely guarded by several layers of

"A very good example is Finland and Sweden. The former has problems because of Euro but the latter thrives because they control their currency." There are several reasons for this - many of which are likely more important than the

I believe you misunderstood the last sentence of my post, since we seem to be in agreement. I also say that most people alive today will probably not benefit from the advances.

I believe that we will see significant advances in lifespan-increasing research over the next hundred years, barring any major disasters affecting humanity. Old models and expectations for calculating death can no longer be relied upon. Mos

You speak as if Europe has a choice in accepting refugees. I believe the last few weeks in particular show that this choice does not exist. They will come, and we will have to do the best we can out of the situation.

What would you prefer their policy on censorship be? Though I was unaware of CloudFlare and this situation, I believe that one compromise can easily lead to a slippery slope. How do you see protocols (bittorrent or ipfs, for example) where

Games are not the usual fare on Hacker News, but with this creative twist I believe it would qualify as something hackers (and nostalgic Half-Life fans) find interesting. Part two and three are located here: https://www.youtube.c

"The nsa could potentially read my email or track my location. But Google definitely already does." From the leaks we know that they both do the same thing, which is to use their computer resources to sift through all emails they

In theory they could charge money for their services instead and not capitalize on user data. I would pay them for this if I was given the option and already do so where possible, but it would seem that I am by no means representative.

It would be nice not to have to rely on centralized servers at all. A P2P/torrent client built specifically for sharing code from git repositories, perhaps?

"It's possible to make a nuclear reactor fail-safe" Are any such "fail-safe" reactors in operation today? You make it sound like a very simple problem.

Please don't speak of a "European attitude towards technology" when there is none. For example, I can't imagine hearing the attitude you describe here in Sweden, and I believe you could find plenty of germans who would d

Such sentiments are only rarely or not at all expressed in any news I consume. While some media are intentionally sensationalistic and some others aggressively push an agenda, I find that they can easily be avoided with some critical thinki
