If you're more in the market for a chrome-and-platinum vacuum and don't care as much about the performance Is no one listening here? I said I care about performance, and build quality. Why can't I ask for both? Perhaps the

I don't care about a status symbol. I'm not in the vacuum market right now and already own a miele. Based on all the hype Dyson tries to generate, their product renders, commercials, sales lingo, etc, I expected this to be the iPh

Dyson definitely does a great job at marketing, and giving their products a premium price and expectations. I was at the store one day, and saw vacuum cleaners. Now, I have no interest in a vacuum at the moment, but they had a Dyson Ball, a

I run a large community as well, and had some similar issues. Occasionally threats work if you can convince them you're willing to take legal action, and you can scare them with evidence pointing to their name or IP address. If that do

Does the shape and mass distribution even matter? It's going to have a center of mass, so once that's located, shouldn't the orbit be close to a perfect ellipse?

It is interesting. At first I thought these fonts were hideous compared to the ones we know and love, but the examples gave me a little inspiration for them. Click the photos of the individuals, and they show examples on products or posters

I'll toss in a few thoughts. Design is something that evolves over time. We're slowing working towards improving the design of the internet by taking two steps forward and one back. We build off each other, so you don't see h

There is balance but it's not easy to find. If I visit a restaurant, and they only serve chicken, that's kind of limited. Now, they give me the option of beef or chicken. Ok, this is a decision I can make, and be confident in sele

About your first point, I don't think that's true. For example, I visit the store to buy toothpaste. I might see 25 different kinds of Colgate, and 1 kind of Crest. Personally, I'd likely buy the Crest, because I can't d

I think people living in the modern world, with all of our technology are no more happy than a caveman sitting by a fire with his family. However, to survive as a species in the long term, we need to leave this planet. To do that, we need a

Yes, but we wouldn't have cars or 1080p in the first place. Why would you develop 1080p technology if you were perfectly happy with 480p? Who would support your research and business by purchasing a 1080p tv, if they were already satis

I don't know if it's that simple, it's only human to question things in life, and it's one of the main reasons we've come so far in the first place. Being unhappy and unsatisfied is the main reason we have the techn

It's difficult or impossible to tell if you made the right choice though, so you have no way of knowing if you should regret your decision. If I visit the store and there are two boxes of cereal, or two deodorants, or two digital camer

There are a couple of popular TED talks about choice. http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_ch... It's something to keep in mind with your development work as well. Let's say you create an

I know their prices are average, or slightly more expensive, however, it's convenient. For example, say I need a pair of sunglasses, a fan for my computer, a new frying pan, and SD card for my camera. I go to Amazon, find the products

Perhaps their evaluation isn't based on their profits, but how much value they can remove from other well established businesses? If they steal users from other platforms, like Facebook, then SnapChat is worth the amount of money Faceb

Agreed, they own some of the most well known typefaces in the world. Sadly, their pricing is absurd. For example, I run a forum with a million daily page views. If I wanted to use Gotham, I need to pay $150 for the font, and then subscribe

I'm trying to gain 10 or 20 lbs, because I'm on the slim side. The problem, weighing yourself once a week is open to random fluctuations. For example, let's say I'm trying to gain 15 lbs this year. That's 0.28 lbs p

Yes, I was paid for them. I was expecting the numbers to be corrected in the weeks to follow, which occasionally happens during strange activity. However, it was nearly a year ago, nothing happened, and the money arrived in my account.

It was a user with a grudge that was banned from the service. They attempted to use a number of online point and click tools to attack the site, until I eventually banned their IP address, and then talked with them and threatened legal acti

Slightly different, but I had a user attempt to get my AdSense account banned by repeatedly clicking ads for days. Sadly, for the advertisers, Google didn't do a thing. This user racked up close to 10,000 clicks, my earnings skyrockete

There have been news topics submitted, highly voted and commented, but they've been deleted or removed from the homepage. It would be nice if we could get an answer as to why it's being censored from HN, when it's something t

You can remote control a vehicle or truck at the moment with a few electronics and supplies. I don't see anyone using them for weapons, so why would autonomous vehicles be used that way? As for suicide bombers, a lot of them appear to

Definitely a mistake, they took a service that wasn't working (G+), integrated, and forced it on users for services that did work. I'm curious to see what happens, because it can't just be rolled back, and I think it's r

This reminds me of a weird calling issue I came across, but mine is obviously unrelated. I needed to make calls from America to Australia (inquiring about apartments from the Australian equivalent of Craiglist), so I was using a calling car
