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 the command line using vim-like hotkeys.

It matters when the tool you're using doesn't respect your privacy, yea.

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, yea, obviously a cashier will probably not need to learn any significant new skills over the course of their career.

As always, people who do make learning new things a part of their life's rituals will generally be more successful than those who do not.

Nice username, by the way.

Expanding fact checking at Google?

Fine.

DuckDuckGo[1] it is for me, then.

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 Library to satisfy curiosity! I'll take a look at the survey paper I wrote a couple summers back-- if it's decent I'll edit this post with a link.

Edit, links: Paper: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7QHR9a8j1iiU3RxSHZSNFh2cEdv... Slides: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7QHR9a8j1iiSE1ET2ZTb09aNFBP...

Because the list of countries was drafted by Obama's administration.

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.

Light weights to build self esteem.

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-finger to big data analytics and marketing [1]; on the contrary, almost every move of Hillary's campaign was dictated by the "advanced" big data engine called "Ada" [2]. While Trump "spent a fraction" of what Hillary did on ads and technology, he did run a paid Facebook strategy [3].

Awesome cheers!

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)?

He wrote a "Contract with the American Voter", you know.

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 (7 was his max) rallies everyday near the end of his campaign.

He also frequently sent long, detailed surveys (with both multiple choice and text box questions) to gauge public opinion.

On the contrary, Hillary was the candidate who failed to interact: from the lack of press conferences to lack of media interviews to lack of rallies to lack of presence in many states, Hillary's loss is arguably a direct reflection of her failed engagement with American people.

Edit: Here come the down votes.

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.

"Thank you, and goodbye! click"

Hahaha. Very good.

Queue complaints about how acrobats' living/working conditions are just as poor in 3.. 2.. 1..

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 how people see news articles.

Is there anything Zuckerberg doesn't want to get his company involved with?

It's been said on HN again and again, but I'm really looking forward to a decentralized digital publishing platform that gains momentum and actually gives Facebook a run for its money.

Anyone know of any such existing platforms up and running now? Last I looked into this, I discovered "Steemit", but it doesn't seem very promising.

What do you find yourself using the TB for in your context?

Agreed. If you discover how he achieved it, let us know please!

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).

Fraud? If a user wants to automate his browser to click all ads encountered as he surfs, that's fraud?
