If anything running Chrome OS instead of Android would be a display of internal politics at work. As Android is way more popular than Chrome OS. Plus, Chrome OS aligns better with Google's primary business.

Ridiculous. Suffer with 2GB ram and 32GB max storage or go with a phone that is too big to get 3GB ram and 64/128GB storage. Why even make a 16GB model. I prefer a device without vendor bloatware and with regular software updates but this round of Nexus is a fail.
The OS is completely Rust, with a minor amount of ASM for the bootloader and other requirements.

C is a third party possibility, I allow C programs to run on Redox.
My take is that not having the moderator moniker on his profile makes for less confrontational communications in regard to problematic behaviors. Sarting with the lightest touch that might work is probably better in the large and over the long run.

Once the [mod] tag is invoked the communication is to some extent out of band and fully public. It's a potential gasoline pour.
Mesos is a two-level scheduler, where the elected master is more of a broker for offers from agents to external schedulers that decide to act on the offer or not. By default it's pessimistic, but this is pluggable and there's no reason you can't write an optimistic allocator module that will hand out offers to multiple schedulers.
Well, I don't think it's important for FP in general, but most of Haskell's syntax depends on currying.
I own a Nexus 5, and I just preordered a 5X 32GB. I'll tell you why.

Wireless charging is something I use with my 5, but it is slow compared to USB. Compared to type C, is will be incredibly slow. There just won't be a need to charge the phone overnight like the wireless charger did.

The battery life is better.

The resolution is the same. This is a plus for me. I don't need higher resolution on such a small screen. It is already incredible for even the tiniest of fonts. Higher resolution = higher power use, higher CPU/GPU use, and more memory use. It would be fine, but I don't need it.

I will use the fingerprint reader. I'm excited to see Android Pay take off. I hate getting my credit card stolen, and I don't like typing in a code every time I use GoogleWallet or whatever I used to use.

The camera is a big deal. I'm excited for slow mo capable capture. I have a small child, and he is a ham.

I also am looking forward to the speed increase. More cores = more potential concurrency = smoother interfaces.

The primary reason I bought it was because it is financed (0%) over 24 months when you sign up for Project Fi. I get the $50 play credit, get to switch to Project Fi, and I get the phone in 2-3 weeks.

The total cell phone bill w/ 1GB of data and the phone included is less than the $50 TMo wanted for their cheapest plan directly.

Note: I would have gotten the 6P, except it was 4-5 weeks instead of 2-3, and I need it here soon as my cell phone plan is expiring.
Keep in mind Google's autonomous car team says they'll have a product commercially available in 4 years. So a Musk 3 years might well equal a Google 4 years.
Or leave them and add random nonsense to them.
I've been thinking about this. What do humans do when they don't know exactly where they are or there are detours/other off map difficulties? They mindlessly follow the cars in front of them. Waze at at small scale! The autonomous cars just need to a) not be willing to crash and b) follow the car(s) in front of them when in doubt...
Music Curation by Intelligent Machine: Why we need anarchy in the A.I
Once there is some information this might be interesting, but just the visual sneak peak doesn't seem special: its clearly a not-too-small Android tablet with a (standard? available?) keyboard case, but what makes this different from, e.g., Samsung's top-end Android tablets?

I'm sure there are technical features that distinguish it, but this sneak peak isn't highlighting them
Clearly the two results are different, so something strange is going on. But you need to define wrong, consider incrementally approximating pi in 7 steps:

100,50,25,12,4,2,3,3.5
> 3.5

Or even:

100,90,80,70,60,50,40
> 40

I'm assuming you mean wrong as in the algorithm implemented with arbitrary precision would en up with a different set of digits for the number of iterations given? Or something along those lines?
I expect you will still need one for a good decade.
Yup, Expedia are also terrible. I blacklisted them some years ago when they had a hotel listed as 100m from the centre of Santiago De Compostela (also in Spain) when it was actually 10km from the centre! Bit of a difference. I don't mind a mistake, but Expedia basically tried to deny all responsibility and blame the hotel. Had a real scrap to get a refund.
Uber raised their funding on the basis of their current business, not autonomous vehicles not any other delivery/logistics plays.
I think one problem I that there are de facto fanclubs. For example, I'm guilty of voting almost all stories of the sites http://www.kalzumeus.com (patio11) and http://www.righto.com (kens). When I see on of them, I read them immediately because they are almost sure good and then I upvote them.

I don't have the data, but probably most programing languages have a set of users that is very interested in them. IIRC this caused a few times a false positive with the voting ring detector a few years ago.

Probably, YC has a mix off many happy alumni here and many fans, so any story about YC get many upvotes fast, and that may look like an artificial bump.
That was so good I put it on the blog!
I guess this is what I learned last week! :-(

>Given the lack of any ideal alternative, I'm personally sticking with Nexus devices and just going with unofficial builds of the OS when it makes sense to do so.

I can understand your (and most people) point of view about this problem , but this is not how I encounter with my problems. Personally I am sure non of nexus device (no matter how they will be good) will be my next device . (I am planning to switch device in next month)

The one thing I want to mention and personally I cannot tolerate Google shows himself as savior of us from Microsoft/Apple.But it is not , it is as bad as Microsoft of Apple (I would say maybe even worse than them).
I just hate how they can handle media and most people thinks Google is different than any other dirty company out there.

Google literally ripping people off.Google can provide more update to solve the problem(or at least make problem less intense ). But instead they just went to opposed direction. They instead of solving problem. Literally made it harder to solve .

Because apparently the cameras are so bad that nobody records video on them. Do you want to store your music and apps or record your kid's birthday? Tough choice.
With a tow truck.
Amazon Instant Video is the reason the Roku stick is plugged into the TV and not the Chromecast.
They have an "urgent stop" button, which passengers can use. Presumably that's unnecessary, though, as I'd expect the vehicle can detect an accident and will stop. Tow trucks could take over, at that point.

I have tried two different 128GB cards on my Note 3. The first one died after a few months, the second one is currently having problems. My next phone will have at least 128GB internal storage (iPhone or 6P).
Well, yeah there's that and an easy to remember domain name.
Yeah, started happening to me last week (roughly?)

>I need 280 characters to express a simple and complete English-phrased thought. For example, this comment doesn't fit in their limit.

The above comment would fit, removes unnecessary words, and gets the same point across. I feel the limit helps people be more brief, although sometimes brevity loses a bit of the human emotion or necessary nuance.

The character limit is pointless nowadays, due to people using 1/n, 2/n, 3/n to chain tweets together. Even Snowden did this today and he just joined Twitter... http://i.imgur.com/MaAX7Io.png
I doubt that it'll be only a few years, Musk has a pretty bad track record on timing (great track record on results though).
You could probably just take the same methodology as the Poole-Rosenthal index for partisan politics in the United States. It's always the most widely cited for the current state of divisiveness in politics and I think could be applied here.
As @bsimpson had mentioned, i see this as a smart(political?) move to be the first hybrid chromeOS running android apps (or Android OS itself).

I've tested Android apps running in Chrome and it seems very promising. Excited to see if there is going to be a convergence/overlap! :)
I know RIs are different from spot instances. But it should be possible to have a spot instance API front-end which pulls from unused RIs first -- just like on-demand instances do, in fact.

What can the bank app do? Mine can only deposit and view accounts, not withdraw or transfer. Open access to it would be weird, but not much worse than someone fishing my ATM receipts out of the trash to see my balance.
The problem can be separated into navigation and situational awareness. The autonomous car won't ever be lost, and I guess it would be easy enough to prompt the passenger for input if it got stuck deciding where to proceed.
Pretty much everything described in this article applies to other activities or lack thereof. We sitting in front of our computers too long or wearing out the couch too much eating potato chips.

We lack the priority of taking care of ourselves.

"the lack of runways"

As an historic note with little relevance to your point, this wasn't solved until the US entered the second world war and the government built a bunch of them for heavy bombers, which were later converted into civilian use.

That's why the flying boats, like the Boeing 314 Clipper, were the go-to plane for long distance travel pre-war. There's no need for a runway when you can land and take off on water.

"lack of mechanics"

This isn't really true. The early cars could be fixed by most any mechanic or blacksmith. Remember, farm equipment was already pretty mechanically complicated.

The lack of gas stations was much more critical.
Rolling resistance is roughly constant with speed, so it's unimportant for efficiency. The main driver of changes of efficiency with speed is aerodynamic drag, because that increases with the square of the speed. Trains presumably have very low aerodynamic drag because they're long and thin.
Striking oil is hardly a financial innovation. Norway just happened to hit the lotto and manage the wealth responsibly, they don't have a real economy.
That sounds cool. So basically I don't need the chromecast audio if I have the PI, right?
I like the iOS' system level of audio output (AirPlay) and didn't know Android is flexible enough that an app can do that!

This is just for the public. Big companies rely on the 'reveal' to generate viral news that feeds off the surprise factor.
The biggest lost opportunity I find here on HN are not with the comments moderated poorly or that were banned, but with the comments never posted and the discussions that never happened because of harsh anonymous downvoting.

Donwvotes on HN are anonymous and silent. This equates to being slapped in the face by someone with a mask on while you're in the middle of a conversation, without knowing why, and not being able to do anything about it. In a real conversation, disagreeing with someone involves actually opening your mouth and talking to that person, and even then is not rewarded with an immediate punishment to the person you're disagreeing with. This is what leads to a discussion, or better yet, a debate. Instead, the only recourse on HN is to change how you talk or to keep quiet.

But at this point I must assume this is an intentional design decision, and I adjust my tone and substance accordingly. But I wouldn't be writing this if I weren't okay with HN's rules.

Google Maps SearchView Implementation
To be fair, GraphQL is, just like SQL, a query language, it specifies "what" the client wants, not "how". There is no "baking in the database". Which means, the server can use SQL or NoSQL or graph or XML database, or LocalStorage or any combination of them, to provide a response to a query -- it does not matter, long as the response is there.

This client-server separation setup has been around for some decades, and it obviously works well. For example, there is a bunch of NoSQL databases that will accept at least some SQL syntax. That is good.

Will HN move to its own domain now that it's going to become its own thing, or will it stay a subdomain of YC?
I wonder if they're experiencing feature creep because they've satisfied users of the core features. I use a program called Devonthink Pro according to this method: http://www.stevenberlinjohnson.com/movabletype/archives/0002... and in some respects my use hasn't changed that much. I use syncing features and some other pieces, and maybe the engine has gotten a little better over time, but mostly I do what I did with it 10 years ago.

I wrote a little more about DTP here: http://jakeseliger.com/2010/11/12/scrivener-or-devonthink-pr... , though I understand that some people use Evernote differently than DTP.

It seems this system requires the car to be stationary while charging but it would be like using cars as electric trollies. Hmmm I wonder if cars on hwys could have an automatically deployed arm for contacting a third rail or overhead wire?
I'm basing it on a rough mental model.

Let's assume there is zero difference between the quality of full time people and part time people, but, being people there is distribution of people that a) need to be trained over time to handle certain on-the-job situations (e.g. dog in yard, etc...), and b) the system needs time (or some number of deliveries) to discover that some people are basically not fit for the position - including people signed up with the intent to scam the system. Let's compare two groups of employees, a full-time group and a part-time group.

The first thing that might surface in this model is that the part-time group requires more people to fill the same number of deliveries that the full time group can fulfill. So, in terms of numbers of bad deliveries, you'll have more failures just because you had to draw a larger number of individuals for the part-time pool vs the full time - even if quality of individuals for the full time vs part-time are exactly the same.

Adding further assumptions doesn't improve things. Maybe one might assume that part-time employees are more likely to move on to other jobs and leave the Flex workforce - well that's more churn and you get more people in category b, and more people temporarily needing training/experience. Maybe the distributions aren't exactly the same between full time and part time - one might theorize that scammers are more likely to take jobs under flex (maybe even under multiple aliases to keep from getting caught)... again this makes the performance under Flex worse...

Maybe even given the quality differences, it only ends up making sense to offer Flex delivery on the periphery of where it doesn't make cost sense to install or expand full-time infrastructure.
I honestly wouldn't have minded if they kept the same form-factor and aesthetic with the original N5 (the one I use and love right now), and just did an internal overhaul...similar to how Apple does minor cosmetic changes, but a whole world of upgrades internally.
I can't think of a single use case where you are using your phone without touching the front of the screen in some way, whereas I can think of plenty where you have zero need to touch the back (ie. any time you have it in a mount or on a flat surface).

Seems like a PITA.

First answer me: Why do you think they chose to use a pseudonym? I can think of many answers to explain why. Most include risk of harm to the individual in various forms.

For example - there is a reason I use a pseudonym. I always have and always will.

Nexus phones never had an SD card unless you count the Nexus One. The Nexus One really needed it though, since it only had 512MB of storage. Every phone since has had enough it isn't a huge deal.

For a job with little educational background, fairly free ability to set your own schedule, etc., its fairly good (even with the additional cost overhead that comes with independent contract work, as I assume is the case here.)

For most of the people on HN, sure, its pretty horrible pay compared to their alternatives, but HN isn't exactly the target audience.
