It's open source.

Can you actually give that kind of gmail access to third party apps? Luckily I don't but it's unnerving to think that doing so can have those ramifications.

Publishing a fleshed out version of the story after doing the brief "BREAKING NEWS" one (like the NYT usually does, for example) is very different from backfilling the original brief entry, which is what commenter is accusing Bloomberg of doing.

This. For design-challenged people like me those guidelines are lifesavers. Ironically, I'm not a big fan of Material personally but it helps a lot to have these kind of guidelines handed down to me.

I'm more shocked at ebay being listed as a "fallen giant" when most of those shitty startups would be lucky if their business at some point generates at least 1% of ebay's revenue.

> I think a lot of Congress probably just thinks that passing this kind of legislation (on encryption) will make most of their voters happy.

Nope. There's a faction in the natsec establishment that wants this and so they're getting it. Most people don't care or know enough about encryption to apply that kind of pressure on their congressmen.

> You are not going to believe me how much time I spent for fixing ridiculous font rendering for Android Studio, at the end I just gave up (in Ubuntu. I tried all kind of patches, TuxJdk, changing arguments for OpenJdk, OracleJdk , changing fontconfig, using infinality and anything you can imagine. nothing works).

I went through all that BS so I feel your pain, but thanks to the IDE gods the IntelliJ people fixed the Linux font rendering issue in their 2016.1 release. They now include a custom JRE that fixes it. This custom JRE can also be used in Android Studio (and surely any other Swing java programs) just create a symbolic link pointing to it inside Android Studio's root folder and you're done. Needless to say this is way more elegant and safe than the ridiculous TuxJdk "fix".

Exactly. The people that say that "they advocate for extreme ideas" probably ignore the FSF's actual mission.

They also "updated" the search box, beside extensions the main reason why I still prefer it over Chrome. Firefox is slowly but surely becoming unbearable. It's a real tragedy that its market share has suffered as much as it has but Chrome users aren't coming back. If they keep this Chrome-ization their remaining users just won't see any reason to choose Firefox over Chrome and they will leave.

He won't. It's well documented that he was very miserable during his last few years at MS.

It wasn't a mistake at all. Sun was a lot of things besides Java, it just wasn't worth it for them and they were right to take a pass. Even if they end up paying big dollars to Oracle, the amount won't be high enough to retroactively justify buying Sun. Android is big now and it can weather whatever comes from this patent battle.

That's good to know. Thanks!

That hasn't been my experience at all.

gedit has to be the slowest piece of software on Linux, which is insane since it's supposed to be gnome's notepad counterpart. Starting up geany it's way faster and geany it's basically an IDE. Ridiculous.

I think it needs to die and be replaced by a standard wireless audio technology of some sort, more efficient than bluetooth. I honestly don't know how people can go about their daily commutes with cables dangling from their ears. To me, that is very uncomfortable. Bluetooth has served me well over the years but I think we need something better and way more energy efficient.

I know, I'm not on facebook and my friends either text or call to let me know about anything. @infinite8s explained what I meant.

> There is something fundamentally wrong with our system that "growth" is used as the main metric for assessing business success.

Not only that, if there is no growth in the next few quarters Apple will be considered to be in "bad shape" which is insane when you consider the size of the company and its revenues.

I really hope #2 gets traction. It's been disappointing to see the SE not do as well as I wanted it to. I'm not an iPhone owner myself but I'm hoping the SE popularizes the "small" form factor phone again.

I wonder if I will ever get to read Caro's LBJ books. They've been on my to-reads for ages.

Why is this a problem?

> and you can get drunk with your friends without your aunt knowing.

Unless your friends are on facebook. If that's the case then there's some second-hand facebooking/instagramming that you have to be aware of.

A story can have a lot of noise too.

This was one of my biggest takeaways from Her (the movie). Maybe the audio interface as represented in the movie is the future.

Sometimes is just a matter of expertise. The more you know about a subject the more critical you can be when reading about it. Many of the posts about SV startups here are very inside-baseball.

> You might not think it's a problem, but it's still a problem for Reddit: the conversation is generally inferior to the standards required for it to see mass adoption.

Uhm, what? Low quality comments have never been a barrier for a website reaching mass adoption. In fact, mass adoption has been what has crippled the discussion in the biggest subredits. In any case, when discussing the quality of the comments, mass adoption is beside the point as far as we (average users that have no financial stake in reddit) are concerned.

> but way less apps (notably no Amazon Prime TV app).

Doesn't it use the Google Play Store?

It's weird that I had not read about it on HN, given the wikipedia description: "The novel tells the story of a depressed and isolated man stuck in a tedious but well-paying programming job."

Which one?

Woah. I totally missed the news about nvidia's android TV device. Is it too locked down or buggy (my main critique of most android TV devices)?

This reminds me that I was always disappointed when they didn't include a Stalin reference when he was mentioned.
