You're not the only one here that thinks someone describing something as "hostile" means they feel entitled to have it. I don't agree and I don't understand the connection. Speaking personally, when I find user-host

There are a lot of folks here on HN and around the web that are upset at Google's AMP cache system, and somewhat rightly so. But at least it is an attempt to make mobile internet less hostile -- at least less in-your-face hostile.

I don't think I ever saw a Documentation page in a search result. Instead, I saw (and see) dozens of copies of the same SO Q&A content spread across multiple sites. I wonder if they would have had better success if they adjusted th

Their Q&A site was vastly better than what existed at the time, and that's how they won the market. Now, though, it is full of people looking for quick points (as you suggest) -- people that think that the original poster was askin

If media spin can affect people, why couldn't a corporation or foreign government do the same? I don't understand why the facts that that a large number of people want government reform and that corporate and government forces wer

I think it's worth noting that those BJS stats talk about convictions and that less than half of all violent crime is "cleared". [1] It's hard to know for sure who is getting away with these crimes but it's enough

I kinda get it too, but at the end of the day there's no way for Nextdoor to effectively enforce the rule, and there's no reason for a journalist (not party to any agreement) to ignore what is sent to them. The rule may as well no

Nextdoor forums sound like never-ending HOA meetings.

If the cost of disclosure was a dollar a user there's pretty much no way we'd see them voluntarily tell us they were hacked. We'd have to wait until the information got out some other way.

IMO, it's because it's a term that they can use without getting much kickback. Before, they might use "fag" or whatever, but folks would (rightly) take offense to that. Even folks not directly targeted by those slurs wou

We're already talking about reducing the install base by over 95% (in my experience) by having no free option. It's hard to get too picky about who installs your app when you're at that level, IMO.

That's pretty much the only argument I ever see, other than the standard one for cannabis (it's just a plant).

I'd be ok with investing in 200mph rail if we went ahead and bought enough ROW to add faster adjacent rail when the funds/will is there.

Neat. Any chance of adding JSON processing where you can pick a key (ala `jq`[0]) and then combine it with RSS or other JSON or what have you? [0] https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

And (1) is in part because they deliberately put in extraordinary effort to customize and break Android, increasing the costs of merging from upstream.

There's plenty of money in it. Imagine if you could price the house correctly out of the gate, reducing the amount of time the home stays on the market. It is indeed a hard problem to solve using ML. You'd need a few other things:

Complaining about downvotes is one of the worst things you'll see on reddit, there's no need to bring it here. Pedantry is also not very useful but I guess it's not worth "downvoting" over.

In addition to contract enforcement and standardization, I'd add reducing and/or internalizing externalities. This is fundamentally a power differential issue but I think it's important enough to highlight independently. As f

I think they could make threads work with some simple changes: * Optionally show thread replies in-line with chat, as they come in, just like regular chat but with some special annotation to indicate they're part of a thread. * Allow t

It doesn't seem like that to me. It seems like Garadget is willing to let Amazon handle the refund, which Amazon would do, anyway. I wonder why Garadget would want to let Amazon process the refund, anyway. It seems like that's got

I'm also surprised at the amount of overly sensitive people defending Garadget here. Their basis -- that this customer was likely brought up wrong -- is a bit amusing. It suggests that the defenders were brought up to judge others base

Whoa sorry about my super late reply here. The APIs are not great. Some of it is down to poor naming, for example: The callback you'd use on a CheckBox is called `OnCheckedChangeListener.onCheckedChanged(view, boolean)` (or something)

And the final result was that the two languages had roughly the same performance, which may surprise folks that believe Java is still a slow language.

Ok. What laws do we need to pass and enforce to allow us to collect and share that evidence? Would any such legislation pass?

I look at these previews as an example of things to come 3 years from now. I keep hoping that Google will figure out a solution to that (restrict access to Play Services, say). Until then, I guess I'll continue targeting API 16.
