batrat··on Tell HN: YouTube fixed the dot after domain ad bypass
Guys I have one easier: You can get a Ferrari if you just pay for it.

Time to start making tin foil hats. They will sell like crazy. (looking for investors)

batrat··on The Case for Rooms
> I would guess this author does not cook

Exactly the opposite. People with open floor plans don't cook every day, otherwise their home will smell like a cheap restaurant, unless they got used to it.

My parents have an open plan, i don't. My home smells fresh every day (except kitchen) despite cooking every day, their house, smells like food in every corner because the smell impregnates in every material(especially in the winter) and is very hard to get it out.

batrat··on Ask HN: What is your money-making side project outside programming?
The real answer. After a loooong day at work my brain shuts down completely when i'm at home. Gaming, sleeping and going out for dinner is enough.
batrat··on 28,000-year-old mammoth cells have shown reactivity in mouse egg cells
Maybe, just maybe, they can make mammoths big as mice and maybe a minified Jurassic Park so politicians will not get scared and say "this things are killing us". Imagine the mammoth pet...awww
batrat··on The CEO of RevolutApp on Slack: “Why Aren’t You Working on Weekends?”
"How do you dare to say that! Our ancestors took weekends off in the battlefield? GET IT DONE!"
batrat··on Windows 10: New study shows Home edition users are baffled by updates
> How about running long compilations, video decoding, etc

That has to run (and postpone updates) more than a week to force reboot it.

batrat··on Ohio will accept Bitcoin for corporate tax payments via Bitpay
Not from US, but I see this trend in my country also.

It's nice to see governments to embrace technology but, it will be nice to start from the ground up and what I would like to see is: modern websites, one mobile app for everything, transparency of the money they spend, multiple payment options for taxes and transportation, simple online forms, digital signatures, etc.

They take a step, then skip 100, do another one and then: "oh we are done here, we embraced technology"

batrat··on Running Windows Software on ARM Devices with Wine
lol?(Windows user perspective) Unless you run it on 10 year old hardware yes, terrible performance. Notepad is better. But if you have at least an ssd and 4gb of ram, I don't see any issues.
batrat··on International System of Units overhauled in historic vote
I feel almost the same lol. Without looking at my "smart" thermometer (is set at 24), I know what temperature is in the house. If it's 23,9 i'm already cold and I have to put something on. But if it's 24,1 I can stay with my shirt on.
batrat··on Romania orders investigative journalists to disclose sources under GDPR
They are one of the best journalists in Romania, of course they want to shut it down. If this goes their way we are doomed not only because they shut down Rise Project but the entire media.
batrat··on Facebook exodus: Nearly half of young users have deleted the app
I hate Instagram more than FB. Everybody become some sort of "influencer" there, everybody is selling something!!!??!! On top of that 1 out of 3 posts is an AD. I don't have it on my phone anymore.
batrat··on Hidden Tribes: A Study of America's Polarized Landscape [pdf]
PC = political correctness. What is wrong with people that invent a new abbreviation every second? Good CB (click bait)
batrat··on An Amateur Rap Crew Stole Surveillance Tech that Tracks Almost Every American
Nah dude. They will prefer posting every cr*p on FB&IG and all their secrets, so everybody can see, but they don't trust the government.

Government is/will be the first/last institution that can defend you and your identity.

Vote the people you trust.

batrat··on Show HN: A cross platform app for mirroring the clipboard between synced devices
Thank you. It's useful when I have multiple virtual machines open in my PC and something this simple is really nice.
batrat··on Blackmagic eGPU – Thunderbolt 3 external graphics processor
I work in a PC environment with 2k+ clients and even more side customers. 90% of PC customers upgrade their old laptops with more ram and SSD. Also some upgrade their network card, replace the dvd with a HDD/SSD, etc.

Because the CPU is not a problem and no noticeable difference in performance from generation to generation, makes no damn sense to replace their laptops.

batrat··on Show HN: Airmash – Multiplayer Missile Warfare HTML5 Game
So much productivity for today. :) Very nice game. Congrats.
batrat··on Languages for online betting: an investigation of Go, Erlang, and Elixir
The 1st thing I thought when I so the article. A "Solutions" company advertising their product?

Use the tools that get your job done and stop bragging about it.

batrat··on Microsoft launches Windows 10 on ARM
Maybe dumb questions:

1. How can Intel sue MS for emulator, but linux(qemu) can get way with it?

2. Why MS tries to push the emulator, when they can just port their programs (already ported to Win RT I think) and provide developers some tools to port their apps?

batrat··on HP installs system-slowing spyware on its PCs
There are some benefits on both sides. Here is the ability to choose the manufacturer of the hardware. Depends on what you need. The problem (for me at least) is when I'm stuck with one of them because of work, entertainment, etc. All of them are greedy bastards. Sometimes I want to wipe everything, install ubuntu and quit my job, but my wife disagrees.
batrat··on Canadian grocery chain orders 25 Tesla electric Semi trucks
If this is what makes corporate embrace new technology and protect the environment in the same time, I'm 100% for it. 25 doesn't sound much, but it's enough to test the ground and get some advertising for "free".
batrat··on I hate telephones
I have an s7 and I star every important number. I use use IFTTT to enable DND automaticaly at 22.00 and disable it at 8.00. Is very convinient. I can also filter an app for example whatsapp to pass DND and ring.
batrat··on OVH outage explained
People. In my experience faulty generators come from bad maintenance. We have one in every site and 2 generators in locations where there is no electricity (mostly Caterpillar). They mostly fail due to lack of/bad maintenance.

Like others said, yes they are big and with lots of moving parts. But if you take care of them (every month by the book) no one should have any unexpected problems.

For me is mind blowing that OVH did the last power failure test in MAY. WHY so rare? IMO that is 1st mistake.
