You can mirror a whole display. It's an option in the Chromecast plugin for Chrome. It's labelled "experimental" but it actually works really well.

That's false as a matter of fact.
What about adding a couple of random "new" articles at the end of the front page, clearly marking them as "new"?

This would help people that simply don't take the time to click the "new" button often enough - people like me - to contribute to the initial selection much more often.
Chipotle – Taste Invaders
Historically this is the rocket equation, which led to multi-stage rockets. I'm not sure we'll see multi-stage electric cars anytime soon. Although with progress in autonomous vehicles, some kind of first stage or trailer could drop off and drive itself back home...
Men underperforming women as students has been going on since at least the nineties. Now those students born in the 90s are adults and can't find men on their educational level to date, and suddenly it's a problem.
I'm really curious if he acquired the @snowden handle from somebody that was sitting on it, or if it actually wasn't taken until now.
"Now that HN is it's own thing, maybe we'll see access(api?) for vote attribution?"

I'm curious why you'd want this? Typically when voting people don't expect that they're going to be 'named and shamed', or even categorized on any level other than anonymously for stats.

They don't lose anything in the short term, but look what tipping did to the restaurant industry in the long term. As tips become standard, businesses use them as a reason to keep wages low - in some cases lower than minimum wage.
It doesn't. Methods would have to be designed to prevent this. I don't believe its insurmountable though.
Look, I am pretty security conscious and while I am not going to list off my environment configuration, and it isn't perfect, I am sure I take privacy and security much more seriously (technologically) than most Americans.

The point I was sort of facetiously making here was that the people who implement these things don't think about it the way we do. They probably don't feel ashamed and do it out of a misplaced sense of patriotism, power or coercion(if they got caught doing wire crimes).

More granularly, if you believe you are protecting America from a 9/11 scale attack I could certainly see trading away some of your fellow countrymen's privacy.

These aren't my personal views on privacy or security I was making the point that some engineers won't be ashamed implementing this sort of stuff. I am pro freedom and privacy to be clear, and, I wouldn't make the above trade.
Spaceteam is now a chaotic and cooperative card game (currently on Kickstarter)
Well, there's the 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." And there's a quite reasonable position that says that an unbiased reading of the constitution does not give power over education standards to the United States government.

And the other side will state that it's covered by the commerce clause or general welfare clause or something. (But everything can be argued to be covered by those to clauses, and the 10th Amendment meant something to the authors...)

We definitely don't give special treatment to YC companies' stories and I'd be happy to look at links if you have any you're wondering about. But make sure you're not looking at the job ads as described in the FAQ. Those are indeed reserved for YC companies. (That is the main thing that HN gives back to YC in return for funding it.)
It sounds aggressive, but most of the hurdles at this point are regulatory and insurance related (at least during fair weather conditions). Uber is aiming to have autonomous cars within two years and Google is actively testing local autonomous commuter cars, so it seems feasible. Also note that current Tesla cars (assuming you are in the beta program) can drive themselves on highways today.
Nobody cares about Android TV because the worst thing that can happen when you turn on your TV is it displays "Optimizing app 15 of 189" for the next half an hour.
Lithium is mined in a variety of places like Australia, Chile, Argentina, China, etc[0]. Not a whole lot of lithium production in the US, although there are significant lithium reserves in the US. I would assume Tesla/Panasonic gets their lithium from all of these places.

Very recently Tesla agreed to start buying lithium in Nevada[1] which is also where the new battery factory will be.

The simplest option would seem to tag these mixins somehow to make them obvious and, perhaps, allow opting out of this altogether in the account settings.

I trust the math behind RSA in general, but I also trust Digicert specifically in the sense that DigiCert Global Root CA is in my Trusted Root Certification Authorities store whereas, say, Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA is not.

My big thing over the Nexus 5 is all the carriers are covered. I am a grandfathered unlimited data verizon customer. I am still using my Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus 6 was just too expensive for me since I am paying out of pocket to keep the unlimited data.

If you asked one of these women, I bet they'd say it's because they want someone who is as educated as they are, claiming some sort of preference of higher intelligence.

Of course, the real answer is money. College educated men make more money, generally.

I'm still confused if the Snowden leaks meant that the NSA was cooperating with the companies listed, or had developed backdoors with the companies listed.

There were Google security engineers that seemed to be in the dark about the level of NSA engagement.

Given that there is no perfectly capitalist society, and in practice, all capitalist structures degenerate into crony-capitalist structures without strong government regulations, I would say there is no difference.
No. They must also be tall. And willing to overlook any sort of weight issues or flaws on the other parties behalf.
I doubt there is any principled reason for the lack. Rather, I think it's just that the people in a position to make the improvement don't place the importance on it that you do. Personally, it's not a feature I've ever wanted. I'm using the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hckr-news/mnlaodle... extension, which offers this, and never once have I intentionally folded a comment.

Accidentally, I've folded comments many times. My main improvement to the extension (if I were to write my own) would be to _remove_ the folding feature and just have new comment highlighting (which I find much more important than folding). Separately, if this is an important feature, why not use an extension that offers it? Is there a reason it needs to be built in?

Half the memory of the basic model is enough to hold about 100 albums. Is that not enough? Maybe you could listen to some of them twice.
I am one of little faith. At the high school level, there's really only so much that can be done without the instructor understanding the end-game. It's just fundamentally difficult for an algebra teacher to effectively teach algebra is they haven't really groked any group or ring theory or linear algegra. And it's really hard for a Calc I instructor to teach effectively without having really mastered some elementary analysis.

Especially the second one. I'm not sure what a calc I teacher is supposed to say if a student has any foundational questions, which any bright student probably will.
No, he didn't say that at all. "We’d guess that’s not what he had in mind" is Techcrunch editorializing. Musk himself didn't say what he had in mind.

Given that 620 miles is roughly triple a Tesla's current everyday range and it's unlikely that battery performance will triple in the next two years, it seems a lot more plausible that he's thinking of extending the current hypermiling techniques -- add a special software mode, tuck in a few extra battery packs around the edges, etc. -- than about some fundamental innovation that would yield 620 miles from typical driving habits. If he really meant the latter, he could have said so, but keeping it vague allows him to make an ambitious-sounding prediction that is, strictly speaking, still pretty straightforward for Tesla engineers to fulfill.
A very underrated film, whose central conceit serves equally as a metaphor for our own society even if you ignore the rapid advancements in genetics.
RuntimeJS – v8-based exokernel
Yea, bummer. I use my Xbox One because it supports everything and does Blu-ray too, but the thing uses like 80 watts while playing videos and is pretty clunky to navigate.
In the long term, it would have meant that people like me who think there is a legitimate reason for nation states to have intelligence agencies could support him with clear consciences.
The latter also mentions the old thing that did not work, where you just pulled a random post for /newest, and put it at the bottom of the front page. I see the current, successful, technique as an iteration of the failed one.

GSA, the General Services Administration, is the purchasing, construction, and building operations unit of the US Government. They're a huge operation, with a $20 billion budget and operations all over the US. The Office of Management and Budget is a White House staff unit with about 500 employees, most in an office building next to the White House.

GSA has forklifts. OMB has clout.

It can be done less easily in Haskell, because even if arrays are available (albeit as second-class citizens) and hopefully well packed, the actual structure and memory layout of their elements is an implementation detail (and, in practice, it tends to be unusually pointer-rich because it has to support lazy evaluation).
I suppose that Greeks could begin selling their production for export at some discount to foreigners for BTC and then use that BTC for local trade. The people outside cities who have land and use that land to create food (plants and animals) could eventually bring enough BTC into the hands of Greeks to make the economy work in a somewhat normal fashion.
That very likely could be be my point of confusion. Thanks for the response.

DXOMark is all about shooting specific test targets under controlled lighting conditions and automated algorithmic analysis of the results. Basically they're trying to scientifically measuring the maximum potential of a given sensor under ideal conditions. They don't produce any interesting images to look at.

I would not recommend the Moto X Pure. I have last year's Moto X Pure, here's my short summary (my personal opinion, so feel free to reply and explain why you disagree):

pros:

- good feel in the hand; not easy to drop
- like the choices for back, etc.
- decent camera for an Android device
- reasonable price
- superfast charging with Quick Charger
- mostly-stock android UI (read on though)
- Motorola UI customisations can usually be disabled
in favour of Android stock version (e.g. Lock screen)

cons:

- Motorola software updates significantly lag behind nexus
devices; took a long time to get stagefright security
fix
- over a dozen spontaneous phone reboots for no apparent
reason during last year (i have very few apps
installed, so it seems unlikely to be due to that, and
apps should never be able to cause that anyway)
- catastrophic and mysterious phone shutdown which lead to
rebooting to a black screen, which the only option for
recovering from was a factory reset (which meant I lost
all of the data I hadn't backed up yet, which for me,
was some pictures I had taken but hadn't backed up)
- poor battery life
- signal strength / reliability not as good as my spouse's
iPhone 6 plus; they often have data when I don't, even
though we have same carrier (AT&T)
- Some Motorola add-on software not removable
- Some Motorola customisations conflict with Android
standard customisations which leads to weird UI
interactions problems sometimes (mostly the lock screen)

My previous phone was a Nexus 5, which the software experience was generally better on since I got updates on a timely basis. However, the hardware experience was pretty poor (made by LG) and I went through two replacements due to GPS issues.
I really like this idea and will do something similar. Did you not provide any other guidance beyond "write the 3(or more) worst things about me in any detail or context they wanted and provide detail if they wanted to"? I agree that an anonymous Google form approach may (hopefully) warrant more insight. Any additional advice to make this more impactful would be appreciated. I'm all for continual self-improvement
I feel like most (all?) popular art is that way. Games, movies, music.

1. Create something amazing, pour artisan-level craftsmanship into it, gain huge following

2. Exploit your popularity by churning out branded garbage

3. Profit

Even Disney's not immune. Have you seen how many direct-to-DVD/streaming 'movies' there are that cash in on their popular franchises? It sucks.
I'm glad that improvements are being made to community moderation, however as someone that doesn't comment much or read comments that often, improving mobile would be something I would put higher on the priority list.
I love the site on mobile.

I'd prefer a bit more separation between up / downvote buttons.

I'd prefer the text to be a bit larger, although I accept that some people would hate larger text. Is this the kind of thing that HN could have a setting for? optional style sheets? (Because users can't set their own styles on mobile).
Yes you can - the UX isn't all that obvious though: Open Chrome, click on Cast extension, click on small arrow and select "Cast screen". It'll mirror your desktop to CC.
Same problem here. I eventually started putting them in a "Read Later" bookmark folder. This fixed the original problem......

+1000 This is the same conclusion that I've reached. Advertisers must pay us. There is no way that the free-ride that advertisers have been getting is going to continue.
We control what enters our minds, not advertising companies. If they want to pitch products or services to us then they can pay for "qualified leads" : those people who explicitly allow them to advertise by first being paid.

We have the means to enable this (even somewhat anonymously) with bitcoin. Once the advertisers get over the initial disconnect with their current system, they (at least the enlightened ones) will understand that this helps them too. Instead of desperately hoping that someone out of millions will carefully consider their message, they can get a much higher response by advertising to the people who are more likely to be receptive.
It's useful when a parent comment spawns hundreds of replies and you're not interested in the direction the parent comment has taken the discussion, but want to discuss other parts of the article.

VeraCrypt fixes the issues, and lists them as local privilege escalation bugs: https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Release%20Note...

Intel has an interesting angle on this: FPGA + Xeon.

One story I see here as similar to what has been happening to the GPU business: Intel controls the access to the CPU, and therefore they will have an advantage because they can hold the competing solutions at arms length over PCI.

The link is just the first result I got back from Google, but, for example, 20x perf upside claimed:

The other takeaway, for me anyway, is that these are interesting times because hw architecture and hw/sw co-optimization appear to be gaining in importance (i.e. because Moore's law is slowing).
Product Hunt Pushes to Podcast Discovery
This is an interesting article, yet I believe it largely misses the issues people have with income inequality. The article seems to focus on pay discrepancies between people with the same role, missing a lot of the big picture.

Completely missing from the article are any references to differences between jobs with easily measurable output and those with difficult to measure value.

Software engineers and management are two great examples of professions where value is very difficult to measure. In the opinion of many, software engineers tend to be underpaid compared to the value they produce. Managers on the other hand, tend to be viewed as overpaid or at least better compensated compared to the value the produce. I believe that managers do a better job of capturing their value primarily because they (or someone just like them a step up the chain) hold the purse strings.

Back to what the article focuses on for a moment. Sure a superior producer might be able to capture more of their value than their low-producing counterpart. That's a drop in the bucket compared to C-level compensation vs salaryman pay.

In summation, people aren't upset that the guy in the next cubicle makes 20% more money because he's more productive. They're upset that the CEO makes 100x more than they do even in bad times for the company.
Normal driving conditions for a 500mi trip are substantially different than those for five 100mi trips. Generally speaking, people going 500+mi (highway driving) all at once aren't doing so at 55mph or 65mph unless they're towing/hauling something. A reasonable speed to go 500+mi is 70-90mph. Nobody going that far wants to sit in a car any longer than they have to. A lower speed is reasonable for a trip of less distance.

That's the beauty of having your own floating currency though. Independent of what the problem is, your trade balance evens out automatically. If a country's forestry exports tank, imports will become more expensive and exports will become more competitive though currency depreciation. And people will eat more domestic cheese vs imported, stimulating domestic demand.
