Forsure, intel comes to mind when you say this. Focus on profits, milk 14nm, screw R&D for 10nm and appoint the CFO to CEO. Perfect combination for the current market where intel is dying and AMD ate their lunch.

Contrast that to AMD which has an engineer with a PHD in engineering from MIT as there CEO.

Look whos eating whos lunch now.

This is also a great way to get ADB to run on chromebooks.

Unrelated, but hiring by race or gender is inherently racist.

We should hire by skill alone whether the person is a Lesbian Black Female, or a White Male

Same here, very depressing to see how extreme, fake liberal policies have destroyed the city. No more street vendors, everything boarded up, no high class people paying tax anymore.

We need new leadership in NYC to fix this up!!

I am blown away by this. Very simple and elegant. Nice Job.

greatjack613··on Consumer Reports: Cadillac's Super Cruise Outperforms Tesla's Autopilot
This is a very misleading title, even CR agrees that tesla's autopilot outperforms supercruise in terms of features, accuracy, and performance. They just don't like the amount of freedom tesla's system gives the driver while supercruise forces the driver to stare straight ahead the entire time.

I remember when this came out and everyone in tech that I spoke to said this story was fabricated. However bloomberg stuck to their reporting.

We are now over 2 years later , has any new evidence come to light either way?

As an orthodox jew, the concept of giving 10% of your money to charity is a biblical requirement known as Maaser.

Really happy to see the rest of the world joining in this.

Valid point, but I do not think they are lying, I am sure they can present it to cloudflare if required.
greatjack613··on Cloudflare, Google, Bing Destroying the Infrastructure of the Free Web
The solution is simple. Can some cloudflare engineers here grant this search engine the same access it gives the chinese ones?
greatjack613··on Show HN: The Wifi Block – Let your guests connect to WiFi with just a tap
I am more curious about the technical aspect.

I could not find any android documentation on building wifi nfc tags that are automatically connected to by the system.

Can someone explain how this is working? Hidden apis? A NFC spec, or something else?

greatjack613··on I fear App Review is getting too powerful (2015) [pdf]
Imagine telling someone with an iphone that there is no facebook, whatsapp, spotify, or netflix. I think android would gain a huge boost from this.
greatjack613··on I fear App Review is getting too powerful (2015) [pdf]
I honestly feel the best option would be for spotify, netflix, microsoft, facebook, epic, and all other companies who have been burned by apple to pull their apps indefinitely.

Sort of like a hunger strike. I am confident apple will cave first.

Got it, will do that in the future
greatjack613··on America might wield its ultimate weapon of mass disruption
That is fair, will gladly delete, but it appears I cannot since it is flagged.

1 Question, people post the same kind of comment just pro china, I am just taking the other side. Is there a way for me to report those comments to you so that I do not need to break the rules by responding to such a comment with a comment?

greatjack613··on America might wield its ultimate weapon of mass disruption
Respectfully you sound like a classic CCP propagandist.

No logic, no reasoning, just bashing the U.S while hiding china's crimes.

The biggest proof that the U.S has a future vs china, is that I have many great chinese engineering friends who have emigrated, ALL of them love the U.S.A and MOST of them are upset with the way the CCP has acted in regards to IP, human rights, and hong kong.

I don't hear the same about people moving from the U.S to china, please keep your CCP propaganda to yourself.

Wooha, was looking for exactly something like this. Thank you.

This is why I love hacker news.

ccp propaganda. Facts are Tesla was the first company allowed fully private ownership of ip in china. No other company has had that before.

As an engineer who lives and breathes java, both in the context of high performance servers and android apps, can someone explain what this does for me besides for quick startup times through the native image feature? what are the benefits of this?
greatjack613··on Huawei CEO: After September 15 No More Kirin Chips
Please don't be pedantic, We do not have votes on whether the president should sneeze into a tissue or a paper towel, but yes, the president that decided to go to war was voted in by the majority of the population.

Please do not try to push the CCP's propaganda by knocking the United States, it only ends one way, and that is all of us being slaves to winnie the pooh

greatjack613··on Huawei CEO: After September 15 No More Kirin Chips
We are a democratic country, don't support a war, vote for someone in office who does not support it.

China on the other hand if you don't support putting muslims in concentration camps, you end up there yourself

greatjack613··on Huawei CEO: After September 15 No More Kirin Chips
Through a system of judgement by peers, not a morally corrupt dictator
greatjack613··on Huawei CEO: After September 15 No More Kirin Chips
+1 to this, China has never made anything real themselves. It is all stolen property from countries who actually play fair.

Until the general U.S population realizes that china's end goal is to eat them alive and unanimously supports putting china in its place, nothing will change and by then I fear it will be to late.

greatjack613··on Huawei CEO: After September 15 No More Kirin Chips
And a clear win for democratic governments who do not send dissenters to re-training camps.

From a competitive landscape, yes it sucks. But Huawei / China needs to be punished for its blatant IP theft, I think this is a great place to start.
