I wonder/hope if a downstream effect of this technological change will be the end of the idea of a "shameful" or "humiliating" image. We all have bodies, we all have sex, and I agree that soon images of ourselves be

I have no insight into the actual company's thinking, but in general there's not necessarily any relationship between the cost to provide a feature of software and the amount that is charged to use it. It's usually more about

Yes. It's not a compelling argument that something can be used well for crimes. If cryptocurrency is just John Wick tokens, it not only isn't useful to most people, but further it's anti-useful to society in general and will

The biggest, most helpful shift in perspective that ever happened to me was this: external circumstances are generally downstream from your inner life, rather than upstream. You don't feel crappy and unmotivated because of how work&#x2

I don't know that we can infer that from this. They refer to a pre-existing (but here unstated) rationale for wanting to be in the camera market, which could include that it fits with some broader data strategy. I'm not saying tha

This is one of those moments where the thing itself as it exists now doesn't excite me, but you can already tell the next several iterations (maybe by a different company) could start to get really exciting. Having a little, quiet dron

Brief photo theory interlude: beware of rhetoric about photographs "revealing" or "exploring" things. These photographs are telling a story , and have all the subjectivities and editing that we take for granted in writt

I’m not sure we can ascribe religious purpose to works that borrow from popular stories that happen to be religious. The books/movies are also profoundly pagan, and lay out their own religious system for eg the elves which is not espec

I got a much clearer sense of the deeply Ayn Rand political sensibilities of HN and much of startup world. I naively expected a mix of sort of normal California liberalism with utopic, egalitarian aspirations. But in fact the dominant ideas

Amazing to read your answer! When I lived in Chicago I Was lucky enough to eat there multiple times, and it felt a bit like something sacred was being trod on. Will never forget eating "birthday cake" directly off the table, scatt

Does this have any relation to the world-famous restaurant, sometimes in the past ranked as the #1 restaurant in the world, of the same name?

To offer a slightly different frame: making products that suit people with differing cognitive ability doesn’t have to include a derogatory idea about them. Lots of wonderful people have difficulty with certain kinds of cognition. In additi

It’s also a conflict of interest: when they’re interacting with that industry and advocating for things are they doing so on behalf of selling ads for Facebook or for the publishers on their platform?

I’m not saying that the speculation implied by this headline is true, but, if this were related to the Epstein case, which explicitly involves the president, who just commuted the sentence of one of his several criminal associates... I’m no

Warning: anecdote. My boomer parents have a Tesla and complain constantly about its reliability. However, often this is a consequence of their own disinclination to the more "techy" interfaces that Tesla favors. There are several

I got quite deep into the article, but couldn't get through the morass of PR to understand the basic idea of their agroforestry initiative. At one point, they actually write that a lightbulb went off... but what is the new idea? Is the

Odd, I haven’t experienced any of this. Smooth all around for me so far, no refreshing at all.

There is another unfair competitive advantage that Amazon had for many years, which lead directly to this situation: no profit expectations from its shareholders. Amazon chose not to earn the normal profits that most businesses need to surv

On the contrary, these random, isolated incidents, many in tiny local elections, should give us great confidence in our electoral system. Such a tiny rate of problems means our democracy is incredibly strong with respect to fraud. From an a

This list proves the total irrelevance of voter fraud. Going back 30 years there are only 1000 such cases in a country of 300M+! To justify severely hampering the public’s right to vote you would need to demonstrate a pattern of recent fr

I would take a step back and question the criteria we are using to make decisions. “Engagement” in this context is euphemistic. This startup is talking about applying engineering to influence human behavior in order to make people use their

This is a nice idea, especially for a case where a website is collaboratively edited. I don't love Google Docs for solo projects, and I don't enjoy using it, but its collaborative editing features are so good and reliable that I c

I think many people go through life uncurious about why an idea occurs to them, why they have a certain preference, why something makes them feel a certain emotion. The subconscious, for all its mysteries, offers the best chance of understa
