If you have access to BBC (UK), there's a 3 part series on the history of EDM. The first episode was shown last week and it touched- quite significantly- on the Detroit scene:

There's also the VPN option. PIA, for example, comes with its own system ad-blocker (MACE) although it's nowhere as good as Adguard Pro (which allows you to use custom DNS server).
To save PDF into Evernote on the Mac:
- if it's a file- use the share option (right click>Share>Evernote) - if it's in a browser- in Safari click on share (top right hand corner of the browser) > Evernote. If it's in Chrome, AFAIK, you have to use Evernote Web Clipper (extension) which is also available for Safari. - Of course, you can also copy/paste or drag and drop PDF into Evernote
> Walt Whitman's Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife Discovered
Just make sure you separate the middle part- Letter For A Dying Soldier To His Wife- from the rest.

It probably provides the best insight to the problem Google engineers were and probably is still facing in regards to high performance audio on Android. Even when the latency is brought down, there's still other audio related issues/glitches (like buffer underruns).
Even now that Android is measurably better than it was previously, things like buffer underruns can still affect the overall usability. Increasing the buffer (to fix the underruns) render the device less suitable for such things as using it with external MIDI controller. You can see from Superpowered's audio latency measurements:

that the buffer for iOS is half that of the best Android (the dual-core Nexus 9)- 64 instead of 128 for Android.

Are you guys planning at implementing dark/night mode at some point? One of the thing that makes MiniHack (the other iOS HN client) a joy to use especially later on in the day is that the screen automagically turn dark according to the display brightness. May I suggest that instead of going with black background, use the grey similar to the one in Reeder:

And another thing- I can't seem to be able to post my comment from within the app. If this comment is posted it's because I've published it via the website:

“In 2012, Google arrived on the list of top-spending Washington, D.C., lobbyists—a list typically stalked exclusively by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, military contractors, and the petro-carbon leviathans. Google entered the rankings above military aerospace giant Lockheed Martin, with a total of $18.2 million spent in 2012 to Lockheed’s $15.3 million. Boeing, the military contractor that absorbed McDonnell Douglas in 1997, also came below Google, at $15.6 million spent, as did Northrop Grumman at $17.5 million.”
I know a lot of people go overboard when cleaning the screen. Either driven by OCD, you tend to clean it too often, putting way too much elbow grease and constant use of solvent. At the other end are those who let their laptops get covered in dirt and grime, thus, when they do decide to clean it, it's easy to do too much because that's the required effort.
What I would do is make sure after each use or every night, give your laptop a light wipe or dusting- eg. using a Swifter duster (use the 360º duster instead of the single-sided as it would minimise accidental scraping). If you don't have an old, soft cotton white t-shirt, use a good light colored micro-fibre cloth. Why white or light colored? To easily detect sand or dirt.
