I would recommend being more transparent on why you use only FB and what data you use. That can help alleviate some anxiety over using it to sign in.

A good example of how privacy and luxury meet.

On one hand, you have a device that can learn your habits, schedule, etc. This means you can have it handle controlling home conditions without having to admin it.

On the other hand, this is connected to the Internet. It has a webcam, a microphone, and intimate details about your personal life (when you come home, when you typically check your webcam, etc). This can be a huge privacy issue.

Is it possible for a device to provide all these services and yet assure you that your information is 100% safe?

Wonder what changes, if any, come to the infrastructure, what with Sprint being CDMA and T-Mobile being GSM.

Why would I use Go instead of Ruby/Python/nodeJS?

How is this relevant to HN?

It seems as if the "github resume" is becoming more commonplace. I am married with a 2yo son. I currently do not have time to contribute to open source projects, and my company does not use git for versioning its codebase. Will having an empty github account effect me adversely these days?

I would hope the readership of TIME is still infinitely more interested in what Snowden does than what Miley Cyrus does.

I just wish it were a viable development platform without having to install a *nix distro. Let me set up and run a MEAN stack out of the box, Google!

I am going to copypasta this in every "NSA is evil" post I come across. You put it more eloquently than I've been able to.

Is this because it is tied to Window Explorer (the Windows file system)? Or is it because the developers are dense.

I misread this and got excited thinking IE was going to drop Trident in favor of Gecko, in the same way Opera is switching to Webkit.

A result of the Apple lawsuit, I imagine.

Most articles like this are trying to convince me I should be excited to work 12+ hours in a day. I like my offline time. I like seeing my family and the world. I don't need to work 60 hours in a week to be a great developer.

What does this have to do with Hacker News?

I think we should refuse to acknowledge their authority. Obviously, when REAL law enforcement comes, you recognize theirs. When the TSA tries to touch you, you press assault charges.

The "ground staff" need to get real jobs. No matter how hard up for work I am, I will not sacrifice my morals and common sense by working for an organization as pointless and invading as the TSA.

We need to stand up against this shit. This is absolutely ridiculous. The TSA and DoHS as a whole are a fucking joke.

TBH, I see VERY few "Show HN" posts. I would like to review a startup and give constructive criticism, but HN has been flooded with op-ed blog posts with sensationalist headlines, or articles that have no relevance whatsoever to HN. Maybe the lack of "Show HN" posts is due to others feeling the way you do. But continue to post. Don't let HN become another Reddit, 4chan, Digg, pick-your-poison.

No names of who the 'fakers' or 'bad' people are. This is beyond useless. Revoked access immediately.

I suppose I can understand the argument. I know if/when we find life on another planet or moon (Europa, Titan, etc) that no living matter from Earth should touch that world, for fear of mutating / polluting it. But when it comes to others we either know have no life (Mercury, Jupiter, etc) or most likely don't (Venus, Mars, etc), what is the harm in human exploration or even terraforming attempts?

Even if humans "infected" the whole solar system, how can we spread from there? The Centauri system is the next closest star system [1], most likely without planets there, and is over 4ly away. That's roughly 25 trillion miles away. If we could travel at the same speed as New Horizons (36,373mph) [2], it would still take 77.5 thousand YEARS to get there. [3]

We are not gonna pollute the universe and its a silly to think ourselves capable of such a feat.

Pluto, while no longer a planet, as an inclined orbital tilt as well. It will also occasionally come inside the orbit of Neptune.
