Android Native also has hot reload, what on earth are you on about?

You get both with Android Native, layout preview and hot reloading.

Isn't this exactly what people were saying about BitCoin as well?

BitCoin has a genuine inherent worth now and while it's still not nearly large enough to fend off crashes, it's there and it's growing. I don't see the argument for why Ethereum is different in this respect.

Perhaps I'm just not getting the real point of the linked article?

Education could use such an overhaul to be honest. Look at internet resources like Khan Academy and how they're proving the merits of mass-distributing a well-functioning formula for teaching.

As far as this bot is concerned it seems to do one thing very well: Reducing the costs of offering a teaching method for those who require "human interaction" to learn optimally (spoonfeeding if you want).

It's nearly impossible to be nuanced in the comic strip medium, but that does not mean it's useless for serious commentary.

The one in question is right this moment spurring serious discussion (here on HN, in this thread,) that's no doubt its intended purpose. Which in your analogy makes it not a dictated scheme, but a scetched canvas; ready to be painted.

Indeed, or make it even simpler: F6>CTRL+C

The F6 functionality is the reason I welcome this, Chromium devs aren't really taking control from us more tech savvy users, they're making it easier for regular users to spot the relevant part of a URL.

I already use F6 for all interaction with the omnibar as it is. Also, I'm not sure which browser it was (Opera or Firefox), but I distinctly recall either of those a few years ago having the exact same functionality discussed here, where only the domain was shown unless the URL field was active.

Walking our dog always felt like a chore growing up. I'd attribute it to being young, but it's now many years later, they have a new dog (both dalmatians) and walking him when visiting is still a chore.

He's either on a leash (by law) pulling relentlessly, or he's free, needing vigilant watch. It's perfectly doable having him walk next to you, but he's still stressing out at everything and it seeps into your bones.

Might be many would benefit from taking walks like you do, I run instead, no patience for walking, but I probably should if only for the benefit of learning to be more patient.

The idea of doing something so unproductive and slow is really hard to get over, though.

I've spent nearly every winter growing up swinging axes, and I cringed a bit when I saw him strike branches.

For the most part the axe does a wonderful job against anything, and that guy has ridiculously good aim, but anyone who have at some point been bad at chopping wood probably knows those twists to the side can do a real number on your wrists and hands. It seems to happen quite a bit.

It's still an amazing innovation, and I hope to be able to pick one up as a gift. The article is sadly not very informative.

Statistics are bordering on pointless in establishing the validity of the video and claim.

We know, full well and without any calculation the chances of such a shot are infinitely small, given that, the only reasonable action is ignoring it for the sake of tangible evidence.

For example, the skydiver was in a wingsuit, and the rock flies past him just as his parachute had opened. This means another person would have needed incredible timing to be able to match a rock throw/drop; having it go past him at a recordable distance while not hitting him.

I'm a skydiver so I've had my share of scares connected to parachute deployment, hanging around above something is for example a huge no. As the parachute opens, it's practically dead in the air; widening in area rapidly. Were someone to hang above him he is putting himself in real danger, his wingsuit is susceptible to changing winds and a few hundred meters (a reasonable estimate for how far you can expect a human to be able to aim a falling rock near another skydiver) go by in a flash.

There is also the practicality of holding onto a rock in a wingsuit (which you'd need to be able to follow his trajectory in the air). He could have devised a contraption on his stomach for the rock, and pulled it out at a proper distance, but a wingsuit diver pulls in with both arms in a quick motion in order to pull his 'chute, and would have to do the same for the rock, or suffer a nasty spin at a time he needs full control...

But reaching in still causes a dive, and loss of control, he loses forward momentum and falls rapidly, and he has to pull out a few pounds of rock in sync with the free hand in order to maintain direction, and now, in the midst of all this he has to be sure his rock does not hit his friends parachute and rip a hole, at an altitude I would be uncomfortable deploying my emergency 'chute, if he even notices the nasty tear in time!

There are actually more points to be made, but all in all, the film may have been doctored, but the jump itself most certainly was not an elaborate hoax.

Indeed, or Alt-| in my case (Norwegian layout), and it works for currently focused application, as well.

Try doing that with multiple instances (3+) of your browser though. I've got general browsing on WS1, Netflix on WS2, tutorials and the likes on WS3, and usually Gmail etc on WS4. Imagine cycling through those, and sometimes more for various reasons, without separating by workspace. Tedious, tedious, tedious.

I've got about ten extensions running, most of them I feel makes sense aren't in the base.

The one exception is one modifying alt-tab behavior so it doesn't group programs on different workspaces together. Honestly, that's the one behavior I cannot understand exists in the first place, makes navigating by keyboard nigh impossible.

It actually is in development already.

>they demand that drivers have things like a commercial drivers license

Not really relevant, you're essentially saying normal carpooling should require a commercial licence on the driver's part.

I agree on your sentiments, there are regulations for a reason. However, these apps are simply put P2P with a third party responsible for platform legitimacy; not the legitimacy of the clients (other than by extension.)

I haven't personally used Uber, mostly because I doubt it's got much traction in Norway anyway, but if the ranking system is as effective as, say, ThePirateBay's VIP/Trusted system then what we're having is fear-mongering and not an actual problem.

As for liability, whatever happened to accepting "at your own risk"? I suppose it's a problem of perspective for me, being guaranteed not to pay more than an equivalent of $700 a year no matter how badly my body is mangled.

Apparently it's a bit of a hothead.

Finish reading the article before commenting.

>Ant-Lab owner Petrov is now moving to Kiev, where the startup scene is more embraced. Ukraine’s capital has six accelerators, GrowthUp, EastLabs, Happy Farm, WannaBiz, Founder Institute, iHub and Polyteco.

The article is railing against Crimeans, not Ukrainians, although yes that earlier sentence did seem a bit odd.

At the time of my reply your comment is 10 minutes old.

That means you've been able to read the exact same posts as I have been reading in this comment section. Comments from experienced pilots, one of whom explicitly states it's impossible for everything we know to have happened to just "happen by accident".

It's reasonable to downvote your crusade, you're hogging a whole page with it.[1]

Doesn't surprise me at all, it's one of the main selling points for Apple.

It's fine on my laptop (Arch Linux), same as in Windows, but with an i7, GTX 660M and no optimus, and a 15.6" screen there's not much power to save.

Too true, Norway, despite having one of the works richest populations, are also hardcore pirates. It's not a question of money, it is exclusively one of service.

Delayed releases? Pirate. Poor quality? Pirate. Ad-riddled media? Pirate.

I subscribe to so much different stuff right now, but the second a service demands I watch ads over just paying more, it stops receiving money altogether.

Freedom.

Well made point. Combine that with chrissnell's point [1] and it makes even more sense in my mind.

Google Fiber isn't really necessary for the common household, yet. They might be mixing an investment in start-ups with a political agenda. For the latter, if they can push the competition in the rest of the U.S. to even 10% of their offering you'll still have a massive speed increase (and a brand spankin' new infrastructure).

Planes do have that, the engines also report automatically to a ground base every thirty minutes. The aforementioned trackers can be shut off in the cockpit, however, which seems to have happened.

It's unclear whether or not the engines actually have been reporting for hours, as Rolls Royce are apparently denying it according to some comments further up.

>This implies that a sufficiently powerful Force user could parry a lightsaber with their bare hands!

Star Wars games are considered C-Canon[2], so I think it's a safe bet a work as huge as SW:ToR can be considered authorative. I also remember Knights of the Old Republic 2 having a feat called "Unarmed Parry" or so which allowed parrying any melee weapon.
