Free TV (stronger competation compared than in the US), Public TV, Sky, Watchever, Amazon to name a few here in Germany(a market traditionally difficult for Pay TV). Personally I think netflix has the way better technology but content wise they are all pretty mediacore at best.

On another note: I might be reading it wrong but if netflix made 60 million USD with 53 million users that would be $4 per user per year which seems little.

I think we're going to find (eventually, as people get bitten) is that [forever searchability] + [real name policy] + [non-deletable content] will = abundant caution to the point of self-censorship, reducing the overall quality of user-generated discussions.

I know I self-censor a lot on any platform that requires a real name (or on those like HN where I choose to use mine). Who knows what (today uncontroversial) opinions will be considered taboo, criminally weird, or treasonous in 40 years time? I need to make sure I can run for president one day, you know.
> I keep seeing this complaint and the only conclusion I can come to is that people who complain about this really buy tight pants with tiny pockets.

Well, yes, lots of guys wear tight pants. It's not really the size of the pockets that's the issue, it's just that the pants follow the curve of your outer thigh, so you can't put a big flat device in there.
This is just part of larger sociologic problem. It seems that "Worse Is Better" is grand rule how our society has been built.

Yes, I am biased against Microsoft. That bias is based on a history of what I believe is unethical behavior that hurt innovation on the Internet and in Open Source software. Others may not consider their past behavior unethical, or may believe in "forgive and forget" now that they seem to be playing fair, which is fine for those folks. I am not as ready to forget, even if I eventually find forgiveness.

Regardless of what others think of Microsoft, I believe my disdain and mistrust for Microsoft is based on a reasonable understanding of historical facts, rather than some subjective vendetta. I've been a nerd for a long time. Microsoft has (until possibly very recently) never been a good citizen in the tech world.
I'm with you, one would be so valuable that even if you bought a considerable amount in all of them, the net gain would easily overshadow the loss of the others. Kind of how VC money works btw...

> Why can't smartphone manufacturers understand that a longer battery life is whats lacking in mobile devices?

Very true. These companies create some of the most complex products on the planet, and yet can't figure out that it's completely fucking brain-dead dumb that the device can't last through a day of normal usage. These are critical devices in our lives now, and Google et al could probably save millions in health care costs from stress-related problems caused by dead phones.
Oil, coal, and gas is subsidized to the tune of ~$400 billion a year (2010 numbers), while renewables are around ~$60 billion a year. Renewables have a capital cost, but no fuel cost.

http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-10-21/when-it-come...

"Meanwhile, a recent report from the U.N. Industrial Development Organization notes that photovoltaic module prices have been falling at a rate of 15 percent to 24 percent a year for some time. In 2011, factory gate prices for crystalline-silicon photovoltaic modules fell below the $1-per-watt mark, often regarded as the point of “grid parity” for solar power. Earlier this year, they reached 85¢.

The “levelized cost of electricity” for solar, a measure of the average price of power over the lifetime of a power project, has fallen from 32¢ per kilowatt hour in 2009 to 17¢ in early 2012. These declining costs are a major factor behind an explosion in use. A report by the Natural Resources Defense Council calculates that from 2006 to 2011, wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, and wave electricity production increased from 1 percent to 2.7 percent of total US production, from 0.1 percent to 1.5 percent in China, and from 5.3 percent to 10.7 percent in Germany. One sunny Saturday in May 2012 saw Germany produce nearly half of its electricity from solar. Given the long life of power plants—often measured in decades—this rate of change is phenomenal. Again, five years ago, total global photovoltaic capacity was just 16 gigawatts. In 2011, the world added nearly twice that—29 gigawatts—of new capacity."

Note this article is from October 2012, two years ago. Renewable installations have skyrocketed, with subsidies far below what oil, gas, and other fossil fuels are provided with.

I think the point was that seatbelt laws are relatively unoffensive and yet they still restrict rights, not necessarily that they're unjustified.

They started with "The burden of proof should be on the people who want to restrict rights", and I think it's safe to say that the burden of proof has been met with regards to seatbelt laws, for exactly the reasons you specified.

I used Google Play Game Services for a turn-based Android game a friend and I made this summer[1]. I like to develop on the PC and have a really fast test cycle, so I made a client implementation for desktop Java using a wrapper around the REST API.

It worked pretty well, except I could never figure out how to be notified that the other player took a turn. On Android there are hooks for this, but on the PC I ended up just polling their API for changes (I figured since it was just me I was unlikely to be tagged for abuse...). Maybe "Pushtokens" is the thing to use? The API documentation doesn't say what a "Pushtoken" is.

That's an odd thing to say. We have one of the top healthcare systems in the world, and it's not perfect. If Nigeria can contain Ebola, the US certainly can.

There is no indication that it's changed to be more transmissible. Have you read the report that the Dallas nurses gave to the nurses union? Here it is, if you haven't:

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-ebola-dallas-20141014-st...

It's a private hospital and is self-policing when it comes to preparing for and implementing CDC protocols. Based on the allegations, they clearly had not made the necessary preparations, so the nurses were very poorly protected and almost certainly came into contact with excretions from the patient. The fact that the nurses had to release this information via a union that didn't represent them because of fear of whistleblowing probably has a lot to do with how this situation came about.

The term "after-hours" has become antiquated in trading. Pretty much every electronic exchange operates ~23 hours/day (1 or 2 few close periods for maintenance/book-keeping stuff).

Now you'd just refer to those time periods as "Asian hours" and "European hours." Also, remember there is not 1 stock market. There are somewhere around 50-60 exchanges where a company's stock may be traded (counting dark pools), and each of those may have different rules/open periods/etc.

It doesn't even need to be a false flag. All it takes is one un-hinged idiot who thinks they're Doing The Right Thing, and by the standards that HN users apparently have, that's enough to discard the entire movement. Because, yknow, a group's most unhinged members only stand for the movement when it's GG, even when those members are denounced by everyone else, but that same standard doesn't apply to people on the other side because reasons.

You'll pardon me for refusing to take this kind of lazy, hypocritical, dishonest viewpoint seriously.

My observation is that Netflix Instant Streaming had the exact same total lack of consumer awareness for years while they built up their library.

I do agree that Amazon needs a real name for the service, though.
You're right, and this opinion is technology-agnostic. Textmate vs Sublime would be a good example, in that Textmate languished while Sublime flourished. Now Sublime has an uncertain present/future, Atom [1] and projects such as Lime [2] have appeared. This still doesn't negate the fact that the original Textmate is a perfectly serviceable editor, and neither Sublime nor Atom truly offer a new, compelling day-to-day feature which would make a developer want to switch.

I'm not innocent of this - I moved from Textmate to Sublime in the hope of exciting new features, and because many people in the community did the same, I have a healthy ecosystem available to me. The point still remains that there is very little wrong with Textmate, in the same way that WPF may still be completely viable.

The new cool is the new cool. People go where the work is and go where their peers are.

What not to expect from Apple's upcoming iPad announcement: A moon shot
If we get a working CFR as described, I'd be shocked if the cost of coal extraction and usage remained low enough for this to be a sound idea. In the face of extremely cheap, clean power, I'd sincerely hope that the government would incentivize its use. Coal and oil lobbies might be able to fight this to some extent, but once a safe and economically viable alternative is present, the days of fossil fuel reliance are numbered. This can't happen soon enough.
Ask HN: What would it take to put Dart in browsers?
Dart is a language developed at Google whose goal is "ultimately to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform".

But after three years of being released, and despite being powerful, there aren't strong enough signs of adoption. It received a share of criticism from the industry[1], including the following comment from Mozilla's previous CEO Brendan Eich, who developed the Javascript language:

"I guarantee you that Apple and Microsoft (and Opera and Mozilla, but the first two are enough) will never embed the Dart VM."

Lukewarm adoption is always understandable of new things but this seems political. You'd hope big cos would give a fair shot to a better web and yet you get the semblance of a second Cold War.

If the big guys control the web and not even them can fix it, what would it take then to replace Javascript?

If Apple announces just a new iPad and Mac refresh, as the rumor mill has suggested it will, couldn’t the company just post it on its blog like Google did today?

Tomorrow id Apple just announces an iPad and a Mac , only Apple customers will be impressed. Apple’s brand is only making incremental progress. The automotive industry makes incremental improvements every year, but the world doesn't take notice. The world anticipates the next Apple product category to follow the Mac, Macbook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad breakthroughs. To meet consumer expectations, Apple needs to introduce the computer industry equivalent of a flying car. In Google terms, Apple needs to land a moon shot.﻿

I moved from a Galaxy Nexus to an iPhone 5s, and was sorely disappointed with the smaller size. I plan on pre-ordering the Nexus 5 and selling my iPhone as soon as it arrives.
I am incredulous when people say phones are too big for normal users. I once wandered out of an Apple store after laughing at the postage stamp sized displays to see large groups of asian girls with small hands pull massive bejewelled Galaxy Notes out of their bags and comfortably use them.

The people who supposedly can't use small phones due to dainty hands can in fact use them very well and have the ideal fashion accessories to lug them around. Which kind of cast doubts on some of the arguments I hear as do the sales figures.

My only conclusion is that a large number of people owning Apple stock only use one hand to operate their phone while I can only assume they are masturbating with the other.

I think the demand for screen size is also due to the fact that we probably have some ways to go before getting good at designing things for small screened devices.

The first rule of Apple software quality is that you don't talk about Apple software quality. It's like complaining about Rolex watches not being accurate.

Typical error on a Rolex is a minute or two a month, sometimes worse. Rolex doesn't even provide chronometer certification for their watches. As their CEO says, "We are not in the watch business. We are in the luxury business".

Isn't it slower to type or navigate apps one-handed, and isn't it more likely to result in dropping the phone (even one as small as an iphone 3)? How many coffee accidents has one handed phone use (while carrying coffee in the other) caused?

It might feel like using a phone one-handed is productive, but I rather doubt it. I also wonder if larger iphones have higher applecare profit margins (given identical hardware costs) because of a reduction in phone-drop accidents.
I tried to post a point but got deleted by the Apple mafia on HN. The fact is I have seen large number of small handed users (asian females) comfortably carry and use large format phones like Galaxy Notes.

The problem for the male dominated tech media and HN users is that they mostly do not carry a shoulder bag and cannot conceive of a device which does not fit in a pocket being useful.

Add a bejewelled hello kitty pocket book case and carry it in your shoulder bag and a large phone is just fine. It is also great for people who use their phone mainly from their desk and carry a briefcase or backpack. A tradie will not be climbing on roofs with a Nexus 6 in their pocket. But it is a big market and there is room for differentiation.
I'm going to provide my ideas/feedback.

Unlike a lot of the other people on here, I like the Facebook integration, provided of course nobody else on my Facebook can see that I've added this app. It saves the hassle of having to upload pictures and lowers the proportion of fake accounts.

As a male (23 years old), I've completely written off online dating. Sites like OkCupid make total sense if you're a female because you don't actually have to do any work, but they absolutely suck for men. Women are inundated with messages and rarely respond, and thus as a male you have to spend hours and hours sifting through profiles and sending tons of messages. On top of that, very few of the women on dating sites are even attractive.

That's why I prefer Tinder, although it'd be nice to have a middle ground between the shallowness of Tinder and a dating site.

It's great that this site saves time on the user's part (mainly the male). The problem is that it doesn't seem like I can see what my potential match looks like. Being a male, looks are pretty important. That's why I stopped going on Groupers - my last one hooked us up with 3 unattractive women. It sounds shallow and fucked up, but that's just the reality of it.

Until a service comes along that hooks me up with women that I know will be physically attractive enough from the get-go, I'm not going to pay money for it. And since most hot women are already inundated with guys trying to ask them out in real life, I'm not sure if a site like that could ever exist.

This is the #1 reason why I still have Netflix. As of a few months ago when I used Amazon Instant, Netflix has auto-play while Amazon did not, Netflix automatically chooses between SD and HD while Amazon made you pick, and just a bunch of other things Netflix does right that Amazon does so so wrong.
OK, now you sound like a thoughtful person that I can actually have a conversation with. And I probably responded a bit overly harshly, too.

But I keep seeing this "Java's type system is essentially worthless" idea, tossed off glibly as if it was God's own truth, and I've never seen a justification for it. I get that it's not Hinley-Milner. I get that it doesn't have higher-kinded types. Why does that make Java's type system worthless?
Even the need for regular replacement went away long ago. Our current (old) designs get refueled only once, and new ships don't get refueled at all (the core lasts as long as the hull does). They do all need regular maintenance, but that's true for all U.S. warships.
