>Why is no one allowed to be critical of video games?

There's a lot of vitriol going back and forth by both sides of this latest iteration of the 'Battle of the Sexes'. I think abstracting back, a lot of very good points are being brought up that need to be discussed (lots of bad ones too, in the interest of intellectual honesty). It's not until you get a bit more granular that ugly heads start to rear up and we ultimately end up with this.

We're at an unfortunate point right now that dissent is a tacit admission of complicity with the various social ills that people like Sarkesian are trying to explicate on a large scale at best, and treated as an existential threat to 'progress' at worst. No, that's not an indictment of the entire movement of feminism, but it's also not hard to find for anyone who goes and looks for it.

I used to care about this, a lot. Now? I prefer to just sit back and let both sides of screaming ninnies tire themselves out so that the people who are willing to reach across the table, admit that their movements have baggage and are mature enough to look past that baggage can have a melding of the minds to get things accomplished.

Yes, Nexus 5 is great except for the battery life. I hate that this is so huge, and that it has a physical home button. The larger battery (thanks to larger screen) will be an improvement to battery issues, though.

Many very popular types of guns do not have "safeties" in the sense that you are likely thinking. They do not have a switch that can be toggled between "safe" and "fire". Glocks are one prominent example (they lack some sort of safety switch, although they have other sorts of safety features.)

Truly mechanically induced accidents are nevertheless exceptionally rare. The guns only fire when the trigger is pulled, which is why gun owners stress the importance of trigger discipline.

Id expect that since the idea is having your windows container running on a windows host, that each version of windows server will have a "this edition allows X number of containers" limit. This would line up with how they treat VMs. Lets hope the number is 5x the current VM limits.

In javascript, any method that relies on receiving a value of "the set of all the even integers between 2 and 14 but 10" should probably check that it did in fact receive such a thing or it might be buggy. In a statically typed language, that check can easily be centralized to wherever an `EvensFrom2To14Without10` value is constructed.

Here's an example in rust[0]. If the `print_bare` method relies on only receiving even numbers between 2 and 14 excluding 10, then it is buggy, because it isn't checking its input, but the `print_tagged` method is correct without needing to check!

Out of 8 million licensees, plus anyone who wants to with a clean record in Vermont, Alaska, Whyoming, and Arizona, there's going to be people who screw up. Police do at a much higher rate, in my observation over the years (there are, after all, a lot less of them).

Years, as in the wave of "shall issue" concealed carry regimes started with Florida in 1987, and now includes 43 states and most of the population. Every time a state goes shall issue the usual suspects scream "blood in the streets", yet it never comes to pass, as they mean it. Here you're stretching quite a bit to go form "normal" accidents to postulated future bad actions in a shooting event, because you can't find any of the latter. (You can't because there aren't any, at least that I've learned about since the early '70s and my readings of prior modern history.)

There are going to have to be a lot more, and much more worse screwups, before the toll is a fraction of the massacres in NewSpeak "Gun Free" zones.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Review
Same here, I want a Fire TV but Amazon's particular flavor of android seems to be a lot more locked down than ASOP and has a smaller ecosystem. This will be perfect for me.
Oh, thanks. Thanks so much. I hadn't even noticed until I read your post. Then I had to read the headline again twice to see it and now every time I see it my eyes hurt.

What has been seen cannot be unseen. Please remove the grit from my eyes.

I understand your comment, and you are probably right. I like to watch movies/tv shows in their original language, so not many would be open to pay to watch english only shows... I don't know.

Stares at the lack of Amazon Instant Video on Android and rolls eye. I stopped giving amazon money for videos and music until they have it on Android as they already have it on Fire, and iOS.
Yup, good point. I think the sweet spot for phones is about 5 inches now (up to about 5.3 with thin bezels) and for tablets it's probably around 8-9 inches.

When I bought my gf a Nexus 7 and she still had her iphone 4 (3.5 inch), the Nexus made a lot of sense. But now that she has a Nexus 5, she doesn't use it nearly as often, and if she had a nexus 6 that effect would be even greater.

I guess it might be possible to have the layout switch automatically depending on which window is in focus..

Windows does this. Its horrible. It also doesn't remember what window has what layout between sessions, so you have to manually set the layout each time. If the game is a fullscreen game its even more effort because if you alt-tab out, it is no longer the focused window (and therefore changing the layout does NOT apply to the game.. frustrating).
I'm not sure that there are any opposing views here. I think that once you filter out the actual arguments, they are mostly independent of each other. Which opposing views did you take away from these two blog posts?

One of the things I've always respected about Apple (even though I loathe the company) is how they have fought hard against the size thing. Apple's largest laptops are the same size as many company's smallest devices. I love me a little 11" laptop device but so few companies make good ones.

I hope Google will resurrect the Nexus 4 brand as a budget device and release a non-phone wifi-only device for kids at some point.
Hum... interesting.

OUYA was almost dead. Now it's done.
>With a large 3220 mAh battery, you get over 24 hours of use from a full charge.

I would hope so, call me old-fashioned but I would say that once a day is the absolute limit on how many times I'd accept having to charge my phone.

Of course, you don't use your phone 24 hours in a day (at least I hope you don't) however, marketing being what it is they generally mean "very very light usage" when they quote battery-life.
It seemed like very many years ago there were no big phones around. When the Note (1) launched it was revolutionary for its size (in 2011). If you compare the Note (1) to phones around today it is "average" at 5.3 inches.

I think the pendulum has swung too far in the stupid direction now. I purchased a Note (1) in 2011 because at that time bigger was better, but even for me now phones are getting too large. That's partly why I skipped the LG G3 (5.5 inch), why I'll skip the Nexus 6, and why I no longer buy the Note range (now up to 5.7 inch).

My sweet spot is 5-5.2 inches, no bigger. Anything larger and when you sit you notice it in your pocket (and I have decently large pockets).
Hmm, as an Android developer you pretty much HAVE to buy a few Samsungs, not Nexuses.

That is - Nexuses actually work and run new OS, while people out there you're developing for are using Samsungs with their buggy and broken firmware.

I don't see any details on the body anywhere. I'm assuming the sides are in aluminium, but what about the back? I always hated the cheap android phone for their glossy cheap plastic feel. (Also the reason why I can't stand any case on my iPhone) But with a price point around 650$ I'm expecting some more premium feel.
> “We issue cash bonuses at the end of a good period, whether it’s a month, quarter, or year. It actually ends up being a better outcome for most employees."<

With all the obsession we see over the stock options/startup lottery, I think this point bears consideration. A stable, low employee churn organization with great cash flow can make you plenty rich if the founders and board put aggressive profit sharing and bonuses in place. I think for bootstrapped businesses this is a great alternative to complex options plans that have no value until an exit/IPO. Wish this approach gained more publicity, even if they've offshored the bulk of the operation.
Ahh, I didn't realize that the specs section had an expandable button to see more details.

It's definitely a huge phone, although barely taller than the 6 Plus, which is exactly what I suspected.
Thank you for the support! And thank you for your feedback.

We do have some stuff that ZenPayroll currently doesn't have such as the btc (which you mentioned) and our paycheck distribution which allows for employees to automatically take their paycheck into any number of bank accounts/bitcoin wallets.

RE integration: Yes. We realize that the taxes is a huge part. Currently we're offering a free month and plan to have tax deductions integrated before actually charging customers. You'll notice now, there isn't even a spot to enter your billing details for using the service. It's currently free.

The other stuff you mentioned is in our roadmap. We're just getting started and plan to add much more.
I appreciate this article for demonstrating Haskell optimization techniques. But honestly, I kind of expected a 3D game with impressive graphics to finally prove FP can used for these purposes. This is just a Breakout clone that runs below 30fps on Android.
Help drive adoption of Google cloud storage would be my guess.
It has an arm64 CPU. It looks like this will be the first cheap, easily obtainable and hackable (?) arm64 hardware out there.

I'm writing the arm64 Go compiler. I wonder if it's feasible to start testing on this machine too (e.g. how open it really is, how hard is to get a sane working environment, etc).
4.7" should be the plus, if you ask me. I'm dreading the day my 3.5" phone dies and has no reasonable modern replacement.

EDIT: I'm open to switching to Android for my next phone if anyone can point my to a small one. Priorities are good camera, ok battery life, and not awful build quality. And maybe good support from Cyanogen? I'm out of the loop on Android and don't have a sense of how important that is these days. But IIRC Cyanogen comes with real permissions control and some other things I'd like, coming from iOS. Halp!
The stuff under the button seems slightly off-center to the right.
I think you are reading way too much into that sentence.
The Nexus 4 has been nerfed since shortly after the Nexus 5 came out - just like the Galaxy Nexus was nerfed just after the Nexus 4 came out. Based on their history, a Nexus device needs to be replaced once its successor comes out, so it's not a big surprise (but still a shame) that the Nexus 4 won't support L.

Well they are a cloud company. They probably just expect you to not store anything locally.

No company puts a good amount of storage in their device for a reasonable price. It's a problem on par with battery life.
Why not just have a link to your twitter with _target="blank"?
I wonder why they went with an Intel Atom CPU instead of using ARM chips as they do in the Nexus phones. Seems like a strange choice.
A bit suspicious that there's no resolution announced, especially considering the Nexus 10 had its resolution advertised ad nauseam from the day it was announced, and the Nexus 6 has its high resolution hyped up as well. It'll be curious to see if they've pulled back on the resolution arms race in favor of something like battery life or price range.
No, we should talk about the topic at hand and stop trying to make nonsensical comparisons.
I do not think it was (yet).
The one thing I've waited for is the DSP support so I can just say "OK Google" and go instead of having to do a long-press.

I realize the controller is sold separately, but I did find it a little odd that the controller says "ASUS" at the top instead of "NEXUS" since it seems to be the official controller.
Haskell is strongly and statically typed which means its compiler can generate more optimized code. The compiler also creates programs that run without a virtual machine. Clojure is dynamically typed and runs on the JVM. It is still really fast compared to many other dynamic languages.

Rent a movie from Google if it's not available to stream on Netflix is what I read it as. They just didn't want to say the name of their competitor.
I have an HTC One with dual front speakers. Before I bought one (for reasons entirely unrelated to the speakers) I would have agreed. But now that I have them, I frequently find myself casually plopping my phone down for some music while I cook or do other chores. It's one of those things that, for me, inserts itself into your life in unexpected ways.

People have gotten very used to some of the niceties and existing organizations that have evolved around normal currency (Over a lot of years. Probably a few orders magnitude more years than how long Bitcoin has even existed). Such a safety net does not exist for Bitcoin, yet.

It's just a matter of people realizing that fact, and re-acting accordingly. Be more cautious, perhaps come up with some sort of novel organization to fill this need, even.

GP here; you've used much better words to mirror my opinion. This being on Hacker News, my initial thought was that it would be an amazing technical display. Frankly, it isn't, but the discussion here has helped me realize that the reason we care about it is because it's an incredibly useful application of existing tech. That's still great—there's a ton of value outside of technical wizardry—but it just wasn't immediately clear to me after reading the article.
Normal cooling (cooling towers or similar) requires a huge structure to dissipate 100MW. The cooling infrastructure can't fit in a truck. What you can to is transport the plant to somewhere where the environment can help with the cooling, such as where there is a good supply of cold water.

One can imagine these to be simple drop in replacements for existing coal plants with existing cooling infrastructure,which would be a huge environmental win in places where those are still built.

That's slightly larger than the 3200 mAh battery that my Note 3 has and I have no issues with battery life.

Granted, the Nexus 6 has a larger and higher resolution screen. But it also runs a cleaner version of Android which I expect would be less power hungry.

Sad to see no SD card slot. I know that's not Google's thing, but Asus and Samsung have defied them in the past to include them in Nexus models and I was hoping HTC would follow suit.

That said, I hope this sells well. HTC badly needs some success.
With D-T fusion you would have more activation of the reactor materials, because D-T produces such high-energy neutrons. What you wouldn't have is transuranics, which make up the bulk of our nuclear waste (and all of the really long-lived stuff), or fission products (the most radioactive stuff, like the cesium and strontium we heard about after Fukushima).

But D-T is only the easiest form of fusion. Next up is D-D, which has much lower-energy neutrons. Helion is working on D-D combined with D-He3, producing only 6% of its energy as neutrons. And several outfits are hoping to manage proton-boron fusion, producing very little neutron radiation.
"$40 more." So, $180.
There's no dedicated app in Google Play, but you can enable Amazon Instant Video streaming inside the Amazon app. It's still an unnecessary hurdle, but the silo is slowly being demolished.

Sadly this will bring the Nexus buying streak for me to an end. 6" is too large... the price is too high. Too bad though, that battery and camera would have been nice. I think the Nexus 5 will hold for another year.
It's a nice idea, but absolutely impossible to implement in the US for political and practical reasons. We may as well discuss my plan to tear up all railways and replace them with canals deep enough for container ships. (Think about it; you could kayak to anywhere in the country!)
Can anyone explain to me what the fetish is with pushing the same amount of pixels as a freaking 27 inch display (which, by the way, I've always considered gorgeous)?

I mean, does anyone actually notice the difference? Because if that difference means I'm paying $100-200 extra for a better screen, a better graphics chip etc, and it means my battery life is reduced, I really just don't get it.

I elaborated a bit on this question here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8459761

Anyway... my biggest gripe is really price point. The Nexus 4, 5, 7 weren't any more interesting than devices coming out from Samsung or HTC. What made them unique was a sick performance/price ratio, the best mid-level entry device range for people who aren't interested in $500 a year fees for their phone+plan, yet like running the latest android on a nice device.

Now we seem to get another high-range flagship-type phone and tablet. I kinda get it, you want a benchmark device and you've got moto filling the lower-mid range quite nicely, but I really wish they'd have kept the Nexus series below the $500 range.

Love the thickness by the way. 10mm or so is great. Not a thick slab, but it's got some real grip to it. iPhone 6's thickness really sucks for me. (although it's a slightly different story when you add a case, I did like the thickness of the iphone 6 with a case when I tried it)

I'm curious about how you're doing per user pricing. If the source is open, how are you enforcing limits on the number of users? Is a portion of the code base closed source? Or are you just using the honor system? I'm asking because I sell hostable software too and I've been thinking about per user pricing for a while, but I haven't made the switch yet.

Okay, more simply, in other cases of mass murder/"terrorist" threats, regardless of targets, the federal government gets involved at the drop of a hat. Not so in this case.
Does it have a removable battery or is it another sealed device? That's not clear from the web page.
Everything else looks great about this device but if it lacks a swappable battery then that's a deal breaker for me and I'll have to get a Samsung Note 4 instead. Even a 3220 mAh battery is insufficient and external battery packs are just too much hassle to deal with.
It would come down to who wants to be the first. Also the people making these death threats are not in a sane state of mind from the start, judging from the published samples.
