Can you expand on this? What are some of the terms that should be careful examined?
te0x··on SIPC Says It Has Serious Concerns About Robinhood's New Product
I buy Vanguard ETFs and many other index funds (that Vanguard doesn't offer) on Robinhood. The user interface is 100x better, and why wouldn't I want to keep it all in 1 place? They just need an IRA product and most people would be set.
te0x··on Robinhood launches 3% checking account
That sounds awful, and nothing like what we have in the US.

te0x··on Marc Andreessen – Lessons, Predictions, and Recommendations [audio]
Yeah but no one is using Wall St as a benchmark for accountability. You're going to call them out for ousting a founder that encouraged fraud?
te0x··on Chrome removes Backspace to go back
> Your solution: Make it harder to move away.

The more genuine way to phrase this would've been something like "Your solution: use different keys for moving away from a form and erasing data", which sounds a lot more reasonable

te0x··on The Financial Industry Is Having Its Napster Moment
No, in context "Napster moment" is used to describe the effect on the industry, especially when the revenues are moving. Even though Vanguard and ETFs have been around, no one paid attention to them for decades.

Yes to all of the above, except the last.
te0x··on The Sign Up with Google Mistake You Can't Fix
No, you're drastically overestimating. Try working in a Best Buy. Everything you just put together with logic is not a safe assumption to make about the average user.
te0x··on Ghost in the Shell remains our most challenging film about technology
I want to get into it but am not sure where to start. If you had to choose 1-2 seasons of TV and a few films, which ones would you watch?

te0x··on Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Review
I disagree completely. I have two Macbooks (2015 air and 2014 pro) for work and home but also use an SP3 at home.

Biggest weakness of the SP3 keyboard is the lack of gaps. It's a little flimsy but that's not a huge deal. SP4 looks like it fixes both of those things and finally has a solid trackpad.

Either way once you get used to the keyboard, Office applications are still far better on windows than Mac. Even with the new Mac Office. If I were an Excel heavy user, it's Surface without a question.

Comparing El Capitan to Windows 10, I wouldn't say OSX better anymore. Windows 10 certainly looks far better, no competition. Similarly spec'd, my Macbook air feels a lot slower although I do still prefer browsing on it. For productivity, I much prefer the way MS snaps windows to each side and find it far superior to OSX's new split view. Now that Windows has their own 'mission control', the feature gap has closed significantly.

Touchscreen for browsing is pretty nice too.

te0x··on Ask HN: I am the dumbest person in the room. What should I do?
That may work, but there's something wrong with him not feeling comfortable communicating with coworkers. The problem sounds bigger than his own personal issues.
te0x··on Dropbox for Gmail
Why? it's an additional feature for a product you already use.

The Data Science Pyramid provides a high-level framework that covers everything from key performance metrics to machine learning to help evaluate whether a company is truly data driven.

te0x··on We Need to Talk About Android
I can't even think of a good Android phone out on the market today that anyone would consider small. These days decent Androids generally range from 4.3'' screens to the 5.3'' found on the Galaxy Note.
te0x··on We Need to Talk About Android
I had to wait more than 10 months for official Gingerbread to come to my Galaxy S (Epic 4G), but in the case of ICS not even the Nexus S 4G is on board yet so I wouldn't really fault Samsung or be so quick to buy a Nexus device in this case.

Depending on which Galaxy S you're on, look into CM9. Despite its early stages, it's amazingly stable. I've been on ICS without any problems for awhile now.
