Tinyyy··on Icebergs.io Brings Linux Desktop to the Browser
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out!

Hows the latency? Can you move the mouse naturally? That's my biggest concern.

Also, on LAN can you run it at lossless / no compression? How's the latency on that?

What's the latency on this thing?

Also, I've recently looked into remote desktop software, does anyone know of a good remote desktop software with very low latency through LAN? How low can it get? <50ms?

Tinyyy··on Google Announces Plan to Put Wi-Fi in 400 Train Stations Across India
Well you have to start somewhere. If they plan to build their own fibre in the future, then this is just a test run to see usage patterns and test the infrastructure. Of course you're not going to put the fibre in some unused rural area. I don't think this is a charity move from Google, and they didn't really disguise it as one (unlike Facebook).
Tinyyy··on 30 second arithmetic challenge
I think hard is bugged? It is around easy's difficulty and much easier than medium.
Tinyyy··on Volkswagen’s Diesel Fraud Makes Critic of Secret Code a Prophet
I think patents exists for this very reason.
Tinyyy··on The cure for procrastination? Forgive yourself
This resonates with me a lot, but I don't really know what to do about it.
Tinyyy··on West Virginia Engineer Proves to Be a David to VW's Goliath
What a ridiculous scandal. Greed knows no bounds eh.

Huh? What provoked this strong response? I'm not hating anyone here. I'm just thinking about this from his / my potential perspective where if you've already put so much effort into the project expecting zero returns, why 'taint' your own product? Its like putting ads on personal blogs that's gonna get you a few bucks in a year. Maybe I'm just particular about these kinda stuff and want to keep things 'pure' and 'clean'.
Tinyyy··on WebXray
How much do people get from these kinda referral links anyways? I feel that if you're only gonna get a few clickthroughs, then its not worth putting the link there and have people judge you / your intentions.
Tinyyy··on The FCC Might Ban Specific Operating Systems
I'm not in the US and I don't know much about US laws, so can you enlighten me on the relevant laws regarding this? Would it be illegal to stick a 4k camera on your window sill? What about for surveillance purposes?
Tinyyy··on To hack an Android phone, just type in a really long password
How do you know they aren't vulnerable ;)
Tinyyy··on The Revival of Concorde
I just wonder how you've got so much experience on flying.
Tinyyy··on AWS US East is experiencing high error rates on several services
Its pretty interesting to see how much our internet relies on cloud services like AWS, and all that are brought down with issues like this.

Hey, are you Julius?
Tinyyy··on Statement by Professor Xi on the Dismissal of the Federal Indictment
The comments on that reddit link are so vicious.
Tinyyy··on Vanishing Point: How to disappear in America without a trace (2012)
That was really interesting. Thanks :)
Tinyyy··on We are slashing the C1 price by 70 percent
I wonder if it is effective to run Tor nodes on this, given the unmetered bandwidth. I suspect that CPU is going to be a huge bottleneck here. Does anyone mind trying it out?
Tinyyy··on The adblocking revolution is months away
Currently the people who block in-app ads are people who have taken the effort to root / jailbreak their device. I find it hard to believe that they would put up with the ads.
Tinyyy··on The adblocking revolution is months away
I can also not use these kinda apps lol. Whats the point of putting in all these features to stop people if it merely results in an uninstall?

Nice hack OP, reminds me of http://thehustle.co/the-linkedin-hack-that-made-me-120000
Tinyyy··on GitHub threatens to shut down a repository for using the word 'retard'
I personally feel that offensive language should be censored because they’re intended to be offensive and hurtful to people, while OTOH if its obviously not purposely offensive but just a method of expression, it should be given a pass. Leave that to self-censorship / the readers / users.

Also, given the semi-monopoly that these sites have, I think that they have some sort of responsibility to not exploit network effects and alienate users just because they can.

A honest question, why are most people here okay with this, but they’re not okay with for example Facebook censoring certain content?
Tinyyy··on Show HN: A career test for people who want to have a social impact
Well you’re obviously recommending careers based on the survey, which tests on their strengths and interests, so I’ll say that you’re recommending based on their strengths and interests. You’re basically skirting the question with a vague answer.

> you should most strongly consider

Based on what?

Tinyyy··on Web Design: The First 100 Years (2014)
Can you really ‘invent’ fire, though? I think ‘discovering’ would be a more apt word. Maybe you can invent a specific way to make fire, such as rubbing sticks together, but evidently we don’t do that anymore.
Tinyyy··on YC Fellowship
Hey Kat (Sam and Matt too)! I am a grade 11 High School student from Singapore, and I’m considering applying with my buddy. The problem is that we have our End-of-Year / Promotional exams from 23 Sept to 30 Sept, and we won’t be able to get excused from school for this. However, we will be able to skip school and commit for the whole of October + November + December.

Can I still apply?

Tinyyy··on USA tops International Math Olympiad for first time in 21 years
This guy is being sarcastic, I don’t really understand the down votes. Maybe that’s just the way it is over here.
Tinyyy··on Dear Google Mail Team
Well if I didn’t explicitly sign up for the mailing list, I’m just going to report it as spam.
