I have a dell 9700 and I had this happen just yesterday on a god damn flight. I am still pissed. I never put my laptop to sleep/hibernate. I always shutdown. I have no idea but it somehow turned on in my bag, I felt it on my leg on the flight. I opened the bag and it was freaking hot. I have no idea how this happened. I noticed sometimes when I docked I click shutdown, it doesn't shutdown.

The other thing is there is no freaking light on the laptop other than the keyboard lighting to indicate it's off. I have to flip the laptop and listen to see if it's on, I look like a crazy person in public. I love the laptop but this is downright ridiculous. As I am typing on it, I smell an electronic burn but the laptop seems fine.

"Test Pilot", "Experiment" are not words I want to see when it comes to my login credentials.

I've avoided AWS because I'm using Azure more (not that I have a problem with AWS)
They can't even keep a URL shortner service up and running?

BMaaS
I know nothing about game development or the likes. But I just browsed the site. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe create a torrent or huge iso file of this info instead of downloading each asset manually?

This is off topic. But what do you use to generate the api documentation? It's very clean, love it.

Hmm, you'd think this would make the stock go down (today), but it hasn't yet.

Re:A reality check for virtual headsets on Thursday July 06, 2017 @06:02PM (#14714306)
Mr Williams, a 32-year-old former marine, was playing “Sprint Vector”, a VR running game: players swing hand-held controllers to simulate motion. Though he has been standing in one place, his brain believes he has just run for several miles.

I wonder if anyone has tried using this tech to somehow trick the body into activating what happens when one actually goes running? Can I get a workout by just watching myself run in this VR world???

I believe the answer is just search on Instagram or facebook for the event, a lot of other people posting the same crappy concert.
They should allow the community to vote on naming these products, they have done a terrible job at it.
I didn't know this was a thing, people are denying an airplane hit the pentagon?? Wasn't there a video?

I don't know but this sounds scary to me, we just went from threats to national security to any crime.

However—and this is especially troubling—“if analysts stumble across evidence that an American has committed any crime, they will send it to the Justice Department,” the Times wrote. So information that was collected without a warrant—or indeed any involvement by a court at all—for foreign intelligence purposes with little to no privacy protections, can be accessed raw and unfiltered by domestic law enforcement agencies to prosecute Americans with no involvement in threats to national security."

As someone who just saw (from another HN post) the documentary "Before The Floods", I'm curious if they take into account energy saving and lower carbon footprints into the design as well.
Watching that youtube clip of the 70 degree temp moving up and down the US really puts thing in perspective, one small tip of the earth's axis and we are all f#$$ed

Wow this is amazing! Do you know if you can run powershell in terminal? I just tried to run my usual powershell build cmd ".\build.ps1 Prod" for example but it launches notepad with the code for the powershell script.
What options do IIS/Windows users have?
One thing I don't like about the chip is it seems to take a much longer time to authenticate. Is this the same in Europe as well? Would be nice if it was as fast as a swipe. But I rather have better security.
"and changed our protocols to binary, all at the same time. "

What does the author mean by that statement?
