my thoughts exactly - what does this give me that a chromecast doesnt? i dont care for a controller (or for games).

i can't think of anything this can do (that id want to do) that the chromecast cant for a lot cheaper.
My personal definition of a seed round is a round where you don't give up any board seat or special power to investors. After a seed round you should basically work as usual (product, users, product, users, ... nothing else). By this definition, our round qualifies as seed. Managing a board takes time and energy and the more you can delay this, the better (from my experience).

That being said, this is a very subjective notion and everybody is free to have their own.

I agree, that eMail as transport media is far from optimal, but it is the only general available media currently.

I still think that from the point of usability a passwordless solution is better for many applications, where security is not the top priority.

Because so many applications in the web force you to have a password, security in general is at risk. Most people get tired of passwords and use either bad passwords or just one for all. And those passwords are endangering those applications that are really security sensitive.

I would rather like to see, that only a few services (like banks, ...) want to have a password and the others just authenticate their users with less intrusive means.
Why do you like the small screen so much?
Agreed, though it looks like this device is a chromecast player as well.
Last year's nexus 5 didn't have an SD card slot either. They're pretty much a dying breed at this point.
There's an Amazon app for Roku that I use pretty heavily. Wonder how long that will last now that they have their own Roku competitor though.

The pissing contest between vendors is ridiculous though. I vowed to stop using Google things until they quit being childish with Microsoft and Windows Phone. But all of Microsoft's apps work just fine on my iPhone. Amazon's not the only one who can be petty.
Do you have a source or owt for that? You can't just drop something like that without any evidence.
I don't believe this is the case. I'm pretty sure there have been "hard" limits so far on what can be achieved. I'm not a physicist, not even close but as I understand it two issues remain. One is that sustaining the fusion reaction has been problematic. I believe the longest sustained reactions have been less than one second. Two is that currently we have to put more energy into creating and sustaining the reaction than it yields. These two things make this categorically different than a challenge like building the hyperloop which as far as I know didn't have any unsolved science or engineering problems.

Again, I could be wrong on my physics but as I understand it, fusion power is still a question of "is it even possible" whereas the hyperloop was more of a question about socioeconomic will.

Terrible choice for an opening phrase to your website. You are putting yourself in a position against SO which IMHO is one of the few websites that are actually really helpful for the community (definitely not a waste of time).

My honest advice, don't get cocky... at least not so early.

Yes.
Without going into specifics, Apple's event(whatever they reveal) is scheduled for tomorrow and so today is Google's day.

Today, some startup/enterprise somewhere in the valley may be making final touches to a press release on some bad/shocking news such as layoffs...etc tomorrow so that little attention will be paid to that, since most tech press may be glued to Apple's event.

Life repeats on and on as before.
"I'm guessing this means that they will try and maximize profit rather than maximize cheap and clean energy for the entire world. That is a bit disappointing if true."

I don't understand what you expect? You want them to give it away for free? After paying very intelligent, expensive engineers decades worth of salaries to create it? You want them to create a fund where people can donate their hard-earned money for this noble goal? I'm sure you could give them a call with that idea, or you could create your own fund, even.

Or you could badger your "government" to fund such a project. Seeing as government is a very good analogy for a bunch of people giving their collective earnings for society-level goals. Let me know how that goes.
Nice cherry you picked there. If you would leave a meaningful comment, I would be happy to talk.

I stand by my words. Her videos are full of lies. They are on a Columbine or Jack Thomson level of "objectivity". Someone please prove me wrong about Hitman otherwise.
Can anyone confirm what is driving this larger screen war? I know when LTE was rolling out manufacturers needed space for larger batteries but couldn't make the phones thicker due to market backlash so bigger screens began to trend. Now I can't help but think it is completely consumer driven but if that is so what are the larger screens enabling users to do? Is it the resolution? The multitasking? This just doesn't look like a valuable tradeoff for less portability and 1 handed use.
As an aside, I don't think you are using the word "nerf" correctly here. "nerf" is a gaming term that means turning a powerful weapon into basically a nerf gun. It means to make something cause less damage or make something less dangerous. I'm not sure how the Nexus phones were ever causing damage to anyone. I think the terms you want are "made obsolete" or "planned obsolescence".
Yep, because the SJW feminists don't hate men...
I bought the Nexus 5 as soon as it was released and have really liked it, however, I'm not sure I'll be buying this one. The biggest issue I have is the screen size. I just think 6" is over my threshold. At $649 I can basically buy any other phone off contract. One of the original appeals of the Nexus 5 was the low price.

No wireless charging either? Not a dealbreaker, but I did use it on my 5.
At some point the IRS may have to change their tune. The tax code is malleable even though it does require Herculean effort to change. Cryptocurrency and more generalized blockchain platforms such as ethereum could provide leverage to change minds if they could begin to demonstrate their value on the fraud prevention front to regulatory agencies. I work at a nonprofit startup focused on creating systems for pooling and streamlining the administrative overhead for nonprofits, and we consistently find that the regulatory obstacle course nonprofits are faced with is related to a fundamental problem of trust created by a few bad actors. A "triple entry" linked accounting platform built on the blockchain as described at https://medium.com/the-block-chain/creating-the-everything-l... could radically alter the nonprofit sector by making fraud much harder to do, though getting a critical mass to adopt it would be challenging. Not to mention the underlying engineering challenge.
Yep, and that's where this thread went.
Ah, that's what that does. Didn't even realize it was a button until you said so. Seems like they didn't want to draw attention to the resolution drop (admittedly to a smaller screen) between the Nexus 10 and the Nexus 9.
At $99, how is this a Roku killer? At least Roku has Amazon Instant Video.
Possibly because they're pointless.
I completely understand why you'd think that but we're not trying to be AirPair. We're a match making service and that's it. It's up to users how they connect with each whether it's through PM, voice, video etc.
As someone against having any form of debt other than a mortgage or useless obligation such as a cellular contract:

$649 is where I stop paying attention to the Nexus line.

The hours worked to afford the device and it's needed case and accessories make the 6" screen not worth it.

And trying to hide the cost behind a cellular contract brings that cost over a thousand dollars. Stupid.
Not in public, but ocasionally it's nice to have at least decent sound out of the phone.
For me, the biggest surprise here is that it will be available on Verizon.

I thought that Verizon and Google parted ways permanently for the Nexus line after Verizon botched the Galaxy Nexus so badly in 2011 - this is the first Nexus available on Verizon since then.
But how much volatile memory does it have?
You're clearly not paying attention to the "debug" issue in the kernel. Bug was created on FD.o's bugzilla, Kay Seivers labelled it WONTFIX and closed the bug in systemd.

This wasn't the first time, either, but I'll leave that as an exercise for you. Simply look at what bugs in systemd/pulseaudio are closed as WONTFIX. It's a simple query.

Also, I recognize your nick from the SystemD IRC and forums. Nice to see you stopping by to defend your favorite project.
They might have changed the page since your comment but this is on the page :

"Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks."
If you read the whole article you'll find that the nexus 4 will be supported
Hi Eldelshell, your blog shows, that we're lucky to have you in our new team as you also regard things from an abstract way as much as from the material scope. Seeing forward to meet you, "A PM-ing Developer". ;-)
Before anyone goes jumping on the "best ones" from Dell, take a read through this 35 page support discussion about their UP2414Q:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/35...

Anecdotal, but a friend and I both have problems with ours, and he got lucky with the 1.1 firmware revision (Dell won't let you upgrade it, you have to go through support for a replacement, and they'll send you a refurb that might have the newer firmware because they decided it would cost too much to update their existing inventory). And even then it might not work. He's waiting on Dell Support for his 3rd unit.

Do yourself a favor and wait until DisplayPort 1.3 is widespread and can drive a 4k screen without using Multi-stream Transport. It's not worth the headache.

Right now my computer is convinced that the left and right halves of my screen are separate displays and nothing will convince it otherwise. Other times MST will fail to connect and it only picks up 1/2 the resolution in the middle, with 1/4 width black bars on the left and right. From what I remember reading, Dell botched the DisplayPort handshake, and the workarounds that AMD/Nvidia have put into their drivers to try and fix it aren't 100%.

I need to return mine for backlight flicker too. But I'll write that off an an excusable manufacturing flaw that's going to pop up occasionally on some number of any model.

EDIT: Just for perspective, this is a screen with an MSRP around $1100, though we both bought ours on sale. The amount of shit we're dealing with for a screen that expensive is not reasonable.
Im sorry but that's just wrong. Let's change "default male position" and "almost always" to "feels like it after scrolling though this thread". I also think you confuse offering a second opinion with making an absolute statement. So "I will tell you a better way to handle this" becomes "I think this is a better way to handle this". Sound a lot better, doesn't it?

I don't want to put words in your mouth but I also think you're implying that the male in your example believes his way is better because he's a man and therefore smarter and all that nonsense. That's just unfair. The irony in phrasing it like that given the context is quite obvious though.
Yes! Google continues to add barometers to phones!

Although, it's disappointing that the Nexus 9 does not also include a barometer. I suppose they've decided that the use case for fast GPS and altitude works better in a phone than a tablet - that, or, since the 9 is built by HTC it would be their first time adding one. Oddly, though, Motorola put its first barometer in a tablet (the Xoom) before they tried any phones.
Afraid the RAND institute disagrees with you WRT NYC, e.g. http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG717.html

Look, NYC is infamous about cops handling their weapons poorly. I thought everyone who pays attention to current events knew this, but I guess I was wrong.

As for your claim that we never face these stressful situations, that's flatly false. Guns are used ~ 2 million times a year to stop crimes (probably more now, those figures are some years old), and there are a number of active shooters who've been stopped by citizen concealed carriers.

But you of course wouldn't know of them because the national MSM for some inexplicable reason doesn't report these incidents. If your Google Fu is up to snuff you can find them. Try including "mall" and "church" for starters
We don't want to exclude those who can't afford it or those who have no access to payment.
I think the loop goes something like:

- few people yell loudly about wanting a big phone
- manufacturer makes a big phone which can have better hardware due to easier heating and larger battery
- the big phone sells well because it's the only decent phone manufacturer made that quarter
- manufacturer builds a bigger phone ;)

"Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 10 and Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks."

I don't understand why people keep saying that it won't come on Nexus 4.
Amazon doesn't play well with Google.
Push the oil and natural gas markets lower, pile on all the other factors pushing them down right now, and further harm Russia's economy.

I'm half joking, but I'd keep an eye out for more unusual energy related press releases, to see if that'll confirm that it's a media blitz aimed at the oil market etc.
I fear the release the this new Nexus Player portends we're not going to see an update to the Chromecast anytime soon, if ever. That makes me sad.

I guess I'm just not the average user, but the Chromecast handily beats what this (and other options in this genre, i.e., Apple TV / Fire TV / Roku) have to offer. I don't want another remote control. And making my phone the best remote control is an awesome solution. And the Chromecast doesn't take up any room in my living room / entertainment center. And it's only thrity-five-goddamn-dollars.

I guess the downside is that I can't play crappy games on my big screen. Darn.

Ask HN: Orange-tinted sunglasses for programming at night?
Like many, I spend way too much time on the computer, including at night. And there is a lot of evidence the suggests that this is not good for you. Hence why the software flux is so popular, and definitely helps out some.

I did some research and found another possible solution, amber sunglasses meant to block blue light. A popular option on the net is:

http://www.amazon.com/Uvex-S1933X-Eyewear-SCT-Orange-Anti-Fog/dp/B000USRG90/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413390677&sr=1-1&keywords=Uvex+s1933x

Aside from anecdotal reviews, there are some studies showing possible effectiveness:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20030543
"At the end of the study, the amber lens group experienced significant (p < .001) improvement in sleep quality relative to the control group and positive affect (p = .005)."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22850476
Basically, looking at tablets and/or bluelight (wavelength 450-495 nm) at night, which suppresses melatonin production considerably, compared with blue-blocking glasses.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21552190
A similar study to above, where orange-tinted safety glasses where used to remove the melatonin suppression effects.

Has HN had any experiences with blue-blocking lenses? Does it help, or is it placebo and/or nonsense?

Cheers.
> Hyperloop case doesn't have 50 years of track record of being "just few years from now"

There have been steady incremental advancements in the field. I think your knee jerk reaction is coming from "cold fusion" which does have the problems you are talking about. Two very different fields.

The main issue with fusion is that it can't be weaponized and therefore doesn't have a nice military grant behind it. It lacks a Manhattan Project. It's probably always been "a few years from now" under the assumption of adequate funding.

The events following this announcement will probably be a good time to form a concrete opinion on fusion. It's being given a fair chance, so lets first see if it can prove itself.

This is promising stuff. Most of the other reactors have been Tokamak reactors - which are better suited to research and not practical applications, so we could be seeing some interesting results here.

To me it makes total sense. Intel's Atom has facilities to do hardware accelerated H.264 video decoding[0]. They're both low power chips (ARM and Atom) so can both be passively cooled, ARM is just more focused on minimalism, whereas the Intel Atom is a little bit more feature rich (which is great if you happen to be utilising one of those features, as in this case).

Absolutely.
Wait, they're using the 64 bit K1 as their processor? That's Project Denver[1]! I'm super excited to see how that thing benchmarks. This is basically Transmeta's Efficeon (same IP and team, even) with a bunch of improvements. They mentioned in the Hot Chips talk that they had made improvements like enabling native execution while the optimizer works - they benchmarks they provided said that it was very effective but I'm eager for third party tests.

They did. Well good then.
Is that running Google TV?
What will the screen resolution default to ? The resolution mentioned i.e. 2560×1440 (493 ppi) is too high for human eye to decipher on 6" frame. MacBook Pro's with retina displays have 2560x1440 resolution available however the highest viewable is 1920x1200 (unless you use 3rd party software like SwitchresX to override the maximum )
Did your gorgeous 27" display cost more than $500? I'm not quite clear why you think $500 for a very decent computer that fits into a (big) pocket is unreasonable.
We're a match making service and that's it - profiles and messaging like Linkedin I guess. It's up to users how they connect with each whether it's through PM, voice, video etc.
This is interesting, because I may have done this recently and I didn't think twice about it. I took someone else's patch (which had been submitted but never merged), merged it in to a newer version, fixed quite a few conflicts and tests, and committed it. Is that problematic? The original submitter's commits are intact and all the "fix-up" code is in the merge commit in my name. What if it is a rebase or cherry-pick where the commits themselves are re-written but retain the original submitter's name?
What Developing Acute Schizophrenia Feels Like
Was just reading the reddit thread and Jordan posted a picture of a transfer of $25000 to Andrew. However the details were not blacked out properly, you could see the address easily and could probably figure out the account numbers given a bit of time. The picture has since been removed.
I sure hope somebody does soon. I'm looking forward to devices with enough power to do more than just push pixels to the screen. Of course, I exaggerate, but it's doubtless a factor in performance.
A silly price, considering their competitors cost the same, and have been in the game for much longer. Google is late and entered the market at the same price as established players, but with a track record of failure in this space (Google TV and Nexus Q).

They probably don't want to provide the information because it's embarrassing.
The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has 1200 hp and therefore probably produces around 2.5 MW waste heat at full power. A factor of 40 is still quite a difference but it does not sound like an unsolvable problem.
Thanks. We'll take a look at the class and SSL is on our list!
That's the thing - we buy our devices in line with what our customers use. So I have about a dozen devices, but I don't think the Nexus 6 will crack into the top 10. Is it worth buying solely for whatever new developer release comes out next Google I/O?
This is a shitty gamergate meme and has no basis in reality.

The evil "women in gaming" conspiracy would have to be very, very well organized to fabricate the amount of false flag abuse they're constantly subjecting themselves to just on twitter.
I think that he means with the typical pixel-doubling you get with "retina" branded screens, UI elements on 4096x2160 would actually have the same on-screen size as UI elements on a non-retina 1080p display, which on a 27" screen is probably too big. (27" iMacs are 2560x1600 which makes onscreen elements considerably smaller than if they were 1080p.)

OSX on a "5K" 27" display would maintain the same size of on-screen elements as the current 27" iMac, but everything would be twice as sharp. I would probably buy one in a heartbeat if the price is right.

(Edit: I guess the other alternative is that OSX would use a 4k screen but would do some graphics card tricks to render everything at 5120x3200 and downsample it to 4096x2160, but that's an odd ratio (5/4-ish) so things may not look as good. That's what they do on retina MBP's when you set the display settings to "more space", which renders everything smaller.)
I'm also interested in what you mean by "10 hours per week" and how you present that to clients, and what sort of pushback (or not) you've experienced from clients about that.
So death threats are okay as long as you don't follow through?
