So recently I was made aware of the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. Here's a terse comparison of this phone to two of the currently top tier phones: (the reason I chose Plus and XL versions was due to the fact that their dimensions are comparable to those of Zenfone)

Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom [0]

--------------------------------------------

Battery: 5000mAh

Dimensions: 6.07 x 3.03 x 0.31 in

Weight: 170 grams

Screen: 5.5"

Price: $329.99 [3]

Apple iPhone 7 Plus [1]

----------------------------------------------

Battery: 2900 mAh

Dimensions: 6.23 x 3.07 x 0.29 in

Weight: 188 grams

Screen: 5.5"

Price: $969.99 [5]

Google Pixel XL [2]

----------------------------------------------

Battery: 3450 mAh

Dimensions: 6.0 x 2.9 x 0.2 ~ 0.3 in

Weight: 168 grams

Screen: 5.5"

Price: $849 [4]

So through this overview, the phones are relatively the same size, weight, screen size, and yet the top tier smartphones' battery capacity is greatly behind that of the Zenfone. Why is this the case? I understand that the three phones may vary in camera, processor, build quality etc hence justifying the price difference a bit. But I have trouble understanding as to why do the top tier phones not focus on increasing the battery capacity, which clearly can be done as demonstrated by Asus. I would gladly be willing to compromise on some of the Pixel/iPhone parts/features for a greater battery capacity.

I have limited knowledge about trading cryptocurrency, so obviously I need to educate myself about that first (feel free to suggest some resources). I do have a strong CS background thus specifically I'm looking for advice/resources that could show me how to utilize my CS knowledge in cryptocurrency trading.

Do any of you know of any open houses at tech companies in NYC happening throughout the summer? Looking to checkout what's available for full time opportunities. Thanks!

Majority of sites that have links open them up in a new tab upon clicking. This behaviour would be great on HN (at least the main page) so that way I can click on a link, read it, and close it. This way I don't navigate away from HN, and don't have to worry about opening a link in a new tab myself.

Here's the quick obvious template with addition of the target property: <a href="http://www.link.com" target="_blank"> My amazing link title here </a>
