on: Pixel C is 25% off for developers
> Offer2 only available in the United States while supplies last.
You may try to buy it with some logistic companies/ warehouse if the discount is larger than the service charge.
E.g. I am currently in Hong Kong. The service charge is USD33. If I buy the USD499 one, the discount is 124.75, still cheaper than buying in Hong Kong.

on: Ask HN: Can someone help critique my resume?
I am not working in US and in a different industry. I am doing marketing. You may just take my opinions as reference.
From the point of view of business, I suggest you can describe how you helped your employer/ company/ clients in the job description. I am not familiar with IT so I use things related to business as an example.
e.g. H&M Salesman
Original: Sold clothes to customers.
Suggestion: Provided professional advises to customers in order to help them to develop their personal image.
Numbers and descriptive phrases can help HR manager to remember what you have achieved.

on: AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol again in match 2 of 5
I know how hard it is. I still cannot beat my 15 year-old PDA when playing chess with it. The intelligence of Lee is far higher than I can interpret.

on: AlphaGo beats Lee Sedol again in match 2 of 5
Human can become tired, emotional and nervous.
However, a computer/ software would not have these problems.
Especially for Lee, the whole world is looking at him. An "ordinary" human like me won't be able to make the right decisions under this pressure.
A great respect to Lee and the Developers of AlphaGo. Good Game!

on: How our ancestors drilled rotten teeth
After reading this, I was so glad that I was born in the 21st century!
I can feel the pain by just looking at the monitor. The pain travels from thousand years ago and reaches my teeth!!

Although this is not a useful "innovation", I had fun while watching it.

on: Why do we need a new OS?
Keep going!
To make a new OS successful, there are too many difficulties. Existing competitors, acceptance of consumers and cost of shifting from the old to the new. We are happy to see a new OS. Hope it can go well!

on: Automakers Go Electric, Even If Gas Is Cheap
Gas and oil will not be cheap forever. Now it goes down but when investors or governments want to rise its price, it can be easily changed. Just make some "noises" or "predictions" and the price will be affected.
Besides, electric cars have zero road emission. Drivers will not see the exhaust emissions by themselves. Electric cars shifted the emissions to the power plant so drivers will have less feelings about their contribution to global warming.

on: In 2016, let's hope for better trade agreements – and the death of TPP
It is hard to convince those traditional countries to join since they have a strong sense of protectionism. Japan and Korea are also facing some difficulties from their citizens.

on: Mark Zuckerberg's 2016 personal challenge
Keep inventing and love innovation.
That's the reason why he can be successful. Some say you need to become a billionaire so that you can have free time to invent. However, he could become a billionaire because he used all his time on inventing. This is the fundamental difference between ordinary people and billionaires.
