By what logic?? Most reports says otherwise.

How so?

Check the Razer blade series

The new ones will have the 7th gen CPU from what I understand. For example, a new review on the stealth variant[0].

You can add more RAM, you can get a choice of screens ( 1080p or UHD ) you get a proper GPU ( if you want ) and you pay less. And you can use Windows or Linux. Or both.

All I want to know is the build quality, but I cannot find any store to try them at.

Why not go with the "new" Razer blade[0]? Seems like a good fork of the MBP.

I have a logitech camera, an old one, and hangouts work fine.

For some reason I had to install "cheese" to make it work. But that's all. No extra drivers needed or anything else.

I actually did the same after the Macbook pro presentation. Got Elementary OS on my desktop to try it. Works fine so far, better UI/UX than Ubuntu for sure.

But I have some problems with the Nvidia support. https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/8952/artifa... Also v-sync doesn't really work, I get lots of tearing.

The terminal is nice and the window manager is good as well. ( elementarty-tweaks should be in there by default )

I agree that driver support is one of the main problems. But someone that will sell the OS can make money to solve that, right?

I'm fine with a small set of HW as well.

I don't think I use any macOS specific apps. Browsers, text editors, terminal, email clients, docker etc, all of them exist on Linux.

I'm mostly sticking with them for the OS as well.

Why isn't someone grabbing the chance to take a linux distro and polish it to get that audience? I would happily pay for that OS so I can use it with any PC/laptop I want.

Didn't know there are BBC pages that you cannot see in the UK! http://i.imgur.com/rUaBZPy.jpg

By accepting remote work, they open the candidate pool to the whole world. You compete with people having potentially much lower living costs. Why would they pay "market rate" if they are in a city with high rates?

Great work! Thanks for sharing your unused work.

My side project is a HN reader. (yeah, I know) https://hack.ernews.info

Some parts of the back-end are open source, and I intend to rewrite the front-end in Elm and make it open source as well.

Maybe you want to try and make a more "modern" version of that classic "Y" logo? So far I just used some principles from Google's material design, and a free icon set. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, especially for mobile users.

Happy to hear any comments/advice on the design.

Exactly. That was the main reason why I left Germany. If you want to stay, it should be your first priority to learn german.

I posted it without having any relationship with them. I haven't even used basecamp ever.

Glad to see the "collapsing" feature. It's definitely helpful.

Weird to see the "favorite" one. I implemented it on my reader[1], but almost no-one used it ( I do though ).

Any update on whether auth will be given to the API consumers?

That's the behaviour I have on the reader I wrote. https://hack.ernews.info Works pretty well

Bear in mind that HN has mainly US based readers. So those insights are not reflecting the reality IMO.

How about contracts? Is there a "company" way of contracting? Or 40-45% tax still applies to freelancers?

It takes time. I was actually working and taking German classes after work. But that adds to frustration, since you get more tired and you still don't understand anything because it takes a lot of time to get proficient.

True, that's another big reason for people to not move out of the UK. I've worked in Germany before, and I left mainly because of the language.

I'm on the same boat.

But, as counter arguments I see that,

a) there is a big(?) risk for Europe itself to fall apart within the next couple of years,

b) those cities cannot possibly replace London in the next few years. I think they'll probably share the "tech" that London will lose, and the gap will shorten between them and London.

Also, by being a contractor in the UK, I now see that this nice tax efficient way of working, does not apply in other countries, Germany for example. So after all, London might still be more attractive for some. ( Ltd tax might fall even more for example )

Got an HN reader as a side project ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8809477 ) and I got some users daily, which pushed me to rewrite the whole thing after a year and keep updating it since then.

It's an excellent way for me, to experiment with things and learn on something that other people see/use ( to keep you responsible in some way ).

Most weird thing is that, although I now have at least 100 unique visits every day, no one gives any feedback, positive or negative. Don't know how to interpret that...

I just mentioned the facts after the result. Are they not? And I'm trying to say that they have such a big effect, that defending them is not, in the long-term, good thing for this society. I'm just sad that a minority is viewed falsely as a majority.

I guess you do not care whether the UK will be (or maybe is) way worse off economically and that xenophobia/racism is now an "every day" thing. Fine, vote "leave", probably suits better that mentality.

Around 4 million EU nationals that live in the UK, were not eligible to vote, and they are directly affected by his decision, while they pay taxes and they contribute to the economy as much as the ones who could vote ( if not more... ). Also, a significant percentage of those who voted "Leave", around 10% at least, now would certainly change their vote since they saw that "scare tactics" was basically people telling them how economy works. So a false 2% margin is "democracy"? Not really. And this decision is way to big to rely on that typical and false margin. The circumstances do matter.

Oh, by the way, "The referendum was non-binding, it's advisory".
