How do you sleep at night? You do realize that you are just re-implementing 10-15 year old tech without the quality control, well-defined limitations and user experience research that made these driver assists actually work? And then top of

The value of being a part of NATO seems at best fluid with the current US president. That means that your NATO membership might not be as valuable as you thought it was. I'd even go to say as far as saying that Denmark and Norway are b

So-so. I watched it. Enjoyed parts. Mostly cringed through it. But just like the Danish/Swedish Netflix series "The Rain" in a similar genre the writing was painfully bad at times - I think this is what stopped it from being

There's been a quite generally raised awareness of the importance of civil resilience here in Sweden the past two years. The perceived threath of a Russian invasion (or perhaps more likely network-based sabotage) has been the cathalyst

I guess this solidifies the more and more common view that Apple's thought leadership is something from the past. A few years ago, the messaging was along the lines of "just wait, this will just be a temporary pain - Apple is just

It would be super neat if anyone of the people who downvoted that could comment on... you know, why? Please don't be so 1-dimensional.

That Nobel Peace Prize for Obama was just so wrong. It was a Norwegian (Not Swedish) small celebrity/exposure hungry group of elderly people who abused the power of the brand for their personal gain. (Liberal-minded americans downvotin

Very well put. It's important that we recognize the history that led us to where we are, even if it's not a super beautiful history. I remember this particular period relatively clearly. There was intense debate everywhere, it was

> The flags outweighed the upvotes. Are you saying there were more flags than upvotes and that this is the trigger for the non-linear movement to page 3?

Ok, in plain words, please try to justify why a gaggle of XYZ lang devs should be able to effectively silence a topic they think goes against their personal agenda by pressing the "flag" link once per user? I don't to see how

I disagree. I think lots of valuable stories are being buried by organized niche interests. I hope to be able expose some of this.

That flagging scheme of yours allows a subgroup, in this case likely C# devs whose careers are aligned with the success of Microsoft to very efficiently silence any dissent. I don't think this is something that has caught you by surpri

I think he's a psycho (could be a good thing, wait) who cares about two things: a) Tesla making enough money to make Space X work b) Being able to establish a colony on Mars, using Space X I think he's super honest about the Mars

It's interesting to see the HN reaction to this. The last time the EU fined Google a huge amount of money for anti-trust reasons the general sentiment here was that it was just socialist Europeans taxing American companies trying to ma

I've just started using the Amazon Prime Video app on Apple TV 4k. It's web-based and frankly horrible. And not just horrible because of the technical constraints imposed by having to target a web runtime - there are some serious,

I pulled that move once in an old product - not all of our users could upgrade to the newer product because of HW constraints - the one we had directed like 97% of our development efforts at, but that tiny thing kept them happy for quite so

But wait, I also love mspaint.exe. It's such an original piece of software. Those people who say it's just a crappier clone of MacPaint are just haters.

Microsoft is awesome. I love Notepad and Bill Gates. What he's doing for the world is just great. I am in no way compelled to write this.

The thought that Satya Nadella, who joined Microsoft in 1992 and then steadily climbed his way (in extremely fierce competition) to the top would be a better, more moral person than the "old guard" is kind of funny. He's just

Because Github, unlike Microsoft is not particularly dependant on US government contracts.

I can't tell if it's astroturfing (e.g. WE/Waggener Edstrom - that PR firm actually had to change their name because they were so tightly connected with a negative/abusive kind of PR) or millennials (who were small kids
