Re:Ask HN: Should I Downplay My Age? on Saturday February 07, 2015 @12:48AM (#9013219)
No, of course you shouldn't downplay your age. If such prejudice exists, you are perpetuating it by downplaying your age.
If this is "disaster porn" then so is all flavors of media.

Errr.. relevant?
Really? An implied freedom in the US? I agreed with your initial post, but this one is ridiculous.
Re:US bugged Merkel's phone from 2002 until 2013, report claims on Saturday October 26, 2013 @08:37PM (#6620149)
At least somebody with influence is getting angry at all.
Re:US bugged Merkel's phone from 2002 until 2013, report claims on Saturday October 26, 2013 @08:36PM (#6620145)
Ugh, so let's stifle the media on the subject? The fact that the leader of a powerful nation is making any sort of protest should be lauded by the tech community.

These are unfortunate casualties of progress, but the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience.

Europe has been well linked by rail for how long now? Com on USA, it's time to catch up.

The hyperloop is just a concept. I don't see how it is relevant to this article.
Re:Everything You Know About Fitness is a Lie (2011) on Wednesday December 26, 2012 @09:56PM (#4972130)
In fact, this article has been submitted to HN 7 times in the last year!
Re:Everything You Know About Fitness is a Lie (2011) on Wednesday December 26, 2012 @09:19PM (#4972031)
This exact article has been posted and well received before on HN.
Can anyone comment on how good cross version development is on Windows? If tools are available to minimize the overhead of cross-platform development in this regard, then I don't see why the ad should be viewed in such a negative light.
"The problem is that it clearly wasn’t created by developers"

I would shudder to think what an ad developed by developers would look like..

The tone of your comment was not necessary. Keep it constructive and positive.
So from the recap of quite an interesting interview, TC went with the apple vs google headline? That was hardly the most interesting aspect of the article.
Re:Lytro Announces New Light-Field Camera Photo Features on Thursday November 15, 2012 @08:01PM (#4791803)
The interesting thing about Lytro is not so much it's current offering, but the potential the technology unlocks.
Very useful. Thank-you.

Re:The Most Revealing Job Interview Question on Thursday October 04, 2012 @04:32PM (#4614231)
I've interviewed at many places, and received many offers. What ever happened to no BS, sit down and have an honest conversation. I'm done with interview questions.

People hiring fret so much about tricking candidates into revealing certain qualities. The candidate will give you the answer they think you want.

+1 to that. Apple related posts feature too frequently on here..
There appears to be a lot of discussion about market penetration of the two operating systems. This is a separate discussion. The author is comparing the new iOS functionality to that present on ICS.
Agree. The motorcycle may well exist, but it certainly wasn't constructed by a man stranded in the desert. Not plausible.
