That's sort of my point. Most people, with April Fools just around the corner (and already here, for some), it will still be used in mockery comments about the product, even though they know it&#…

I guess, if your philosophy is "bad coverage is still coverage". But hasn't this happened with an Amazon product announcement before, and backfired? Amazon Echo comes to mind. Not even …

Similarly, I can definitely see Brita ordering these prematurely, based on their (IMO) very aggressive refill recommendations.

The timing is terrible. Even if it's not a joke, they've just set themselves up for this exact comment. Surely someone would have thought of this? Just seems like a really bad choice -- too…

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as your edit. Once GitHub makes it easier to become independent of them, then it... well, becomes easier to become independent of them.

How is this site going to use the data? I don't see it ever really mentioning the intention of collecting the various bits of data on its form. Would be nice if we saw some more information, at l…

That's the problem. One of the main reasons I got this was to do iOS development, and it's not like there are any non-Apple alternatives, unless I go w/ a Mac (iMac/Mac Pro/Mi…

I just, last week, bought my first MacBook Pro -- my first Apple laptop ever. It was much more than I usually spend on a single computer. And now I hear about this. Probably one of the most widespread…

Original discussion from last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9131923

I'm assuming the original story was actually told as a joke, where the "128" number was intentionally misleading until the punchline at the end where he incremented the number and "…

A lot of contradictory comments on this thread: > This means that the benefits outweigh the simple measurement of calories burnt, especially for people who are otherwise sedentary. > It was m…

This makes sense, but when designing the new MacBook, they still have to take battery life into account. For example, if Apple truly wanted the best device design at any expense of hardware, it would …

The scenario where you're on a long flight and need to heavily use your laptop to catch up on things, or just pass time. The scenario where you forget to plug it in at night, and don't reali…

> I can tether to my phone of course, but this seems like an option they should have considered. I think you just answered your own question. It seems to make more sense to have one channel to th…

Is the world really as obsessed with smallness as Apple thinks it is? From what I keep hearing (and this is anecdotal, of course), it seems that most people would prefer to (reasonably) maximize the b…

I never joined the discussion about the dress (I was actually removed from technology pretty much until after the whole debate died down, after which I experienced another interesting phenomenon). But…

As cool as the technology behind this is, I'm going to be that guy that is very glad the soundtracks from classic SNES games sound the way they do vs. how this demo sounded. I guess the point of …

Maybe it's just me. But one thing about linear (live) broadcasts -- and this also applies to an extent to live radio vs. mp3's -- is that there is just something engaging about watching a pr…

To me, full stack has always meant vertical coverage, not horizontal coverage. That is, not necessarily experience in multiple web languages, but rather skilled in a particular stack from top (present…

I disagree quite a bit with the advice left at the bottom. It seems many people equate "being honest" with "being a jerk". You can still provide very honest and valuable feedback w…

The iOS app ($1.99) should more prevalent here too (it's buried in comments below): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noisli/id862773459?mt=8 …

> That's part of the job description for a graphic designer, but why shouldn't this rule apply to software developers, too? I think there's a very obvious reason for this. And it…

tldr can be found in the last sentence: Which brings us back to Moffett's original point: Nobody knows what the heck is going on.

My problem with recruiters isn't the recruiter. My problems with them are: - the types of jobs they are trying to fill - the types of companies they are working with - knowing that I will get pai…

This sounds good, but if it's still going to lock all of my files behind a proprietary and obscure file structure -- and metadata library -- that totally get borked whenever I try to have some ot…

I definitely wasn't surprised, as I've known this principle has been going on for some time. But I, for some reason, thought this could be done somehow with a single device, or something. I …
