angkec··on Apple iPad Gets Split-Screen Multitasking in iOS 9
Why is this comment downvoted? Flux is the thing that I misses the most on my iPad. Moving from my Mac to my iPad at night is a painful experience due to the sudden influx of blue lights.

Thanks!
angkec··on Show HN: All You Can Optimize on Your Website in a Single Report
Just curious, what is the technology used to control browsers programmatically to carry out such tests?
angkec··on New Tesla 70D all-wheel drive, 240 mile range car for ~$75k
That's mostly likely true. Assuming you drive 12k miles per year and gas costs $4 per gallon for your 15 mpg premium european sports car. The price for gas over 10 years is: (12,000 / 15) * $4 * 10yrs = $32,000.
angkec··on Google’s Cloud Loses Following Among CIOs, Survey Finds
It wasn't easy to mitigate: re-writes were needed because of the private apis. We ended up doing a lot of optimization to prevent a pet project from costing us too much money, which before the price increase stayed well under the charging threshold. The pricing incident was the only thing on my mind about Google's cloud because we left Google since then. I'm sure things are different now, but then I got too many other things to do before taking a serious look at ditching aws for google.
angkec··on Google’s Cloud Loses Following Among CIOs, Survey Finds
Yes that was 2011 but it scared the hell out of me. Since then all my company's project are hosted on Heroku and other Amazon technologies (Simpledb, Dynamo etc.). If I had to have a vendor lock in in exchange of faster development process, I'd prefer to get locked in with Amazon other than Google after that GAE pricing incident.
angkec··on The Bling Dynasty – The Nouveau Riche in China
It will for the second and third generation.
angkec··on The Workman keyboard layout (2010)
Any one has any experience using an alternative keyboard layout in a qwerty world? How does it fit?
angkec··on Theater Chains Decline to Show Sony’s ‘The Interview,’ Citing Threats
Maybe they were all blackmailed by the same attacker?
angkec··on Ask HN: Best blogging platform in 2014?
posthaven?
angkec··on Who Has Your Back 2014: Protecting Your Data From Copyright/Trademark Bullies
I'm using Namecheap and GoDaddy. Both works functional wise. So given the reputation Namecheap has and GoDaddy has not, I will go with Namecheap for the future.
angkec··on Volvo Bets Its Future on Small, Turbocharged Engines
But Volvo has a third turbo that powers the other two turbos. The mustang's turbo is probably a conventional turbo on a 4 cylinder.
angkec··on “Complete Acquiesence”: How the Pontiac Aztek Happened
Honest question: aside from the outside looks, what's so bad about this vehicle? (I started driving in the year 2006 so Aztek has been off market for sometime.)
angkec··on I'm 25 years old and I am lost
Soylent? I haven't got my shipment though.
angkec··on How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To
As funny as it sounds, this is sadly my experience sometimes.
angkec··on How to Make Yourself Work When You Just Don’t Want To
Please make some examples when you apply it. I'm eager to hear the applications as the other commenter!
angkec··on The Horrifying Apple Super Bowl Ad That Time Forgot, 1985
Reminds me of the Pink Floyd MTV The Wall. Where lines of students followed each other into a meat process machine.
angkec··on OS X Mavericks kernel_task eating 100% CPU
I think he refers to the server VPN support from Mavericks server. It is broken for like half a year at least before Apple fixed it.
angkec··on Anti-ageing compound set for human trials after turning clock back for mice
Cancer does decrease with age. I read it somewhere that it is some professor's pet theory but they do have some evidence.
angkec··on The Pricing Model That Increased Our Free Trial Signups by 358%
Yeah sounds like everything they do is lowered the price.
angkec··on Facebook Requires Social Fixer Browser Extension to Remove Features
How do they suffer by reading reddit comments? Just curious.
angkec··on Confusing UI in iOS7
Sounds exactly like the problems for WP: can't figure out which is tappable just by looking at it. Maybe that's one of the inevitable pitfalls of flat design?
angkec··on Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do?
Thanks buddy! Will give them a try.
angkec··on Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do?
Thanks. We are contacting a lawyer now. Hopefully not gonna be very expensive for a $100/mo hobby app.
angkec··on Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do?
Is this remotely possible? Just interested.
angkec··on Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do?
Thanks. Funny that we are not even remotely successful with the said app. Monthly sales of $150 range and it is strictly a hobby app since maintenance costs around $10/mo.
angkec··on Ask HN: Just got sued by patent troll – what should I do?
Thank you! I'll check it out.
angkec··on Soylent Campaign
Trust yourself on the food industry is stupid too. Please. Stop eat junk food.

But you still eat them right?

angkec··on Soylent Campaign
It's interesting to see everything went from supportive on soylent to very negative after they published this campaign. I wonder what has changed?
angkec··on Soylent Campaign
Yeah I remembered he claimed to be able to control the monthly cost for around $103 and I got pretty excited over that. Now I'm disappointed to see the price rose to $230. I guess it is time to really find out where my own mix went wrong: I feel the irresistible urge to eat a ton a few days after I'm on my own mix.
