I would think most developers would like at least 16gb

> People are doing everything on smartphones they used to do on "personal computers", the form factor doesn't change that.

I don't think folks are doing programming and graphic design on their phones...

>Why not let things play out a little before predicting chaos?

History.

Sounds like a lot of ego protection going on. "We're the real victims!"

A private company owned by the French Government, no?

>He has set up a fund with about 32 billion dollars in it, explicitly for the purpose of ensuring society follows his preferred path - one world government, open borders everywhere, EU replacing national governments, legal abortion everywhere, mass migration from Africa and so on.

What is the name of this fund?

No?

>Churches provide services to communities far exceeding 70 billion.

Nah.

Bullshit.

This is some serious PR. "Oh we're just about giving people cheap entertainment, it's a total coincidence we profit hugely off the misery of others."

>because I've never seen anything less important seem like such obvious brainwashing.

I take it you're not a touch typist? What kind of wpm do you get?

Seriously?

"But, as noted in the wikipedia articles, some feel that explicitly indicating when text is meant ironically defeats its purpose"

Is that, in itself, irony?

> Right, give them a desk and a book.

How do you propose they learn to read the book?

So never reveal abusive practises ever if it's by someone who employs you?

Really? I'm interested in reading more about this?

You just pick up the factory, set it up in a different part of the world, and start it up again?

I think that's an assumed EOL on Pentadactyl because of Electrolysis. The devs don't talk but the community is trying to come up with a way to continue. Vimperator has similar issues with Eloctrolysis, I think?

I hope pentadactyl makes it, cos it's my favorite of the vim extensions. Vimperator just doesn't feel as advanced.

Pentadactyl is great, but you'll have to find the signed xpi.

I'm on pentadactyl and loving it, but haven't heard of qutebrowser - what made qutebrowser stand out for you, if you don't mind me asking?

By doing that you're not opting out of government rule, you're just changing governments.

Point of fact: the RSA department of education removed Java as the language being taught, and replaced it with Delphi, despite objections (from some like myself). Here's an article: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/columns/89295-is-delphi-better...

> "There's an old saying where they say the goal is to pluck the feathers from the bird with the least amount of squawking," said Chamberlain. The less visible the cuts, the better—even if it means taking money out of employee pockets. "Changes to contributions to employee retirement plans," he suggested as a less disruptive cut than emptying the snack larder. "These are highly obscure from a worker standpoint."

That's some cold shit right there.

I found dual n-back while looking around - http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/ - which claims working memory and fluid intelligence improvements.

Thanks :) I also found that, which was a bit disappointing, but maybe they come out with something soon.

I found "dual n-back" while looking around, which (controversially) claims some "fluid" and working intelligence boosting - I'll give that a try. It's over here: http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/

Would love to try if the game was in any way available. Are there similar options out there?

No.

>"I want Jobs and [Bill] Gates and [Mark] Zuckerberg and all of these guys to thank me for blazing some of [those trails], because it was much easier once there were several notable successes from [people] in their twenties," he says.

>But with that success came hubris.

No kidding.

And yet one is allowed to use the word retard.

So why should you be able to say nigger and retard on hacker news? Why stop at open source repos? Why not extend it to all forums and social media?
