Reading through the comments here, I see a lot of reference to GPU speeds. Anand mentions in the article that the new iPhone 5s is more powerful than the 2010 Macbook Air 11" and has more graphics performance than the iPad 4. I used to be one of those guys who would build his own PC and spend hours overclocking everything for the maximum performance gain but I do not understand this;

What's the infatuation with performance in a cell phone?

Snappy is snappy but there are diminishing returns here past a certain point; I think Anand stated it best when he said it is "the most future-proof of any iPhone ever launched"

Ironic "Never borrow money" shows up here considering the start-up orientation of this site... Small business owners are a cornerstone of capitalism and our economy so we should incentivize people to take risks when they can.

What about international numbers?

You- Senior rails dev w/ mysql experience. Must have gone to University(CS degree not necessary). Preference if you have worked at a startup before. You enjoy small teams and working on something really exciting. (our team will always remain small). No perks, no big paycheck. Generous options and an ability to help shape the company as it grows.

I'm looking to pay someone for some work in JS and RoR, messaging me is probably a good place to start...

Sounds like your glass is half empty; try inverting your view

Great

This.

I love the top voted comment at the end of the article.

It's the terms of that $650k that matter...

I use Hacker News <I>because</I> it doesn't have those features...

This is very wise +1

.article { margin: auto; width: 700px; }

I think this is the best idea/solution in this thread...

also, it has a great search feature/filter built in

I have about 1300 and Chrome's bookmark interface is slow at this quantity so I use and recommend this extension:

Step 1. Unchain him.

You should check out Hacker Vision as see what you think: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-vision/fomm...

I've tried f.lux and while it's great for ios devices(if jailbroken), the colors seem to come out weird in most situations.

What I use now is a Chrome extension called "Hacker Vision" and I highly recommend it to anyone reading this. It flips the colors of websites so you get a white text on a dark background. It's really great in a dark room or sitting next to someone at night AND I can turn my MacBook Air's backlight down to 2 and read everything clearly; that resulted in an extra 30-40minutes of battery life!

Here's the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-vision/fomm...

Anyone highlighting text for the contrast will love this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-vision/fomm...

We aren't equipped to see perfectly in light or dark, we have a range. Everyday is sunny here and people wear sunglasses. I'm not disagreeing with you though - I think the difference is that monitors are backlit and things in nature that create light you tend to not look directly at for 8 hours a day.

I don't agree with Hedonism being the driving force behind dark websites. I prefer dark(and spend all day coding with a dark background) because it's easier on my eyes... The idea behind skeuomorphism in webpages mimicking paper has proven itself when the print industry attempted to carry their print practices over to the web and failed. The internet is still very young; I think what we will find over time as more and more people spend more and more time on computers is a departure from paperesque websites to a more functional design that is dark and physiologically friendly(easy on your eyes).

Interestingly enough, the website in the link looks awesome using the Hacker Vision Chrome extension I use which is designed to do just that - it applies a dark theme to all websites so the bright white backgrounds don't destroy your eyes.

I tried f.lux and do not like it at all; I don't think color temperature is the problem and my MacBook Air seems cheapened when it has a 1970s red tint to the display.

Since using Hacker Vision, I notice that I can turn my display brightness down to 2-3(again, a MacBook Air) which has the added benefit of giving me an extra ~40 minutes of battery life - very cool!

If you enjoy working at night and use Chrome, this extension has been a huge help for me(and my eyes):

For those who use Chrome web browser, there's some fixes by way of extension that really help save time on CL... My favorite: http://www.craigslistextension.com/

I really enjoy reading articles like this; what I found interesting is that there is an assumed entangled relation between the photons and the beam.

"A second test of entanglement, which used polarization orientations other than horizontal and vertical, found a ratio of approximately 4:1."

I didn't see a reference to the orientation in regards to the Earth's magnetic field.
