This product doesn't look to me to be compelling enough to switch away from Finder and ranger. I use Finder when I want to browse pictures or other rich media and ranger when I just want to browse source code and other text files from

You can't blame him. SF is a giant leftist bubble.

Why is that? Is Everytown's message so shoddy that it can't hold its own against a ten second NRA ad?

Ha. I think just about everyone with a pet has thought of that.. But, if actually given the opportunity, I doubt most people would take it!

Agreed. It'd be quite difficult to measure whether or not someone learns something new, anyway, because of the variety of things available to learn (large and small). If we're talking about learning entirely new skills, though, ye

All of the subjects you mention at the end of your comment, especially memristors, are indeed the focus of neuromorphic computing. It's a nascent technology field, but there are plenty of papers available on IEEExplore or ACM Digital L

After reading, I think it's obvious that the author has seriously overestimated the impact of the technology. It could have had as great an effect as the author's tone implies but I'm not sure the evidence is available.

I believe you're right. He won't stop it. But he also won't let it dictate his actions, unless he's really foiled us all and every character of his every tweet is meticulously data-driven. I doubt it though!

I haven't read the entire article, but I find it a bit ridiculous that the author claims that "big data" is allowing the "rise of fascism" in the 21st century. Trump has been known to give the metaphoric middle-fing

Off topic kinda but I have to compliment you on the rig (the AK and watch are cool too). Mind providing some more details on it, what truck is it, how'd you find it, mods, etc.? Btw, you should start a blog!

Wouldn't he have quickly shuffled the US into signing the TPP, then, rather than boldly rejecting it (which was confirmed by WikiLeaks/Asian press today)? https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/823036353986

Sad that HN allows obviously hostile comments like these to remain... Anyways, Trump listened to America. He listened quite a bit. He not only visited and spoke to hundreds of thousands of people all over the country, but he held multiple (

To be fair, though, even if he had displayed a "pattern of deception [and] a lack of integrity" in his handling of federal grant money is not a valid argument against his climate science.

Oh, yea. How could I forget? I still use IRC on a daily basis... I don't think of it as a place to read news, though.

People, and hackers especially, generally don't "trust" Facebook to provide them with a platform to publish anymore. And why would they? Facebook will never open source the software responsible for determining what, when, and

Seconded. As someone who's hopped from distro to distro (Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu) on my ThinkPad x220, I'm really happy with elementaryOS for all the reasons you mentioned except HiDPI support (which I don't need).
