I think the issue here is with the conception of "evil". The one shown in most media is incredibly flawed, and it is why the best villians are the ones that can actually argue their point, make you understand where they are coming

I'd offer Pokemon as a contender, though I love both games. Not to mention the switch itself, the gameboy color, GBA, so many things Really the note here is Nintendo know how to design.

I used to love it, but have had very annoying connection issues of late. Also shuts off and restarts during some use. I had to switch it over to 2.4Ghz recently which I think did it in, which I had to do for connection of home devices with

See the linked article: the volume increasing is a trend; old but rising of late. COVID is certainly making it a more favorable route as well. Either way, you're not responding to the original point: east vs west consumption has nothin

Is that a common occurrence or is it specifically happening because of the backup on west coast ports? Or is it even part of a bigger macro trend not related to east vs west coast consumption? https://www.wsj.com/articles&#x

Actually curious, what items are people in the Western USA buying that the east coast is not? Why not single out the Eastern USA here?

I think you're underestimating a few things here re React: 1. Before the React/Vue era, there was so much JS churn and many devs who went through that are not looking to change anytime soon. 2. Even if React goes into keep the lig

I would bet people are staying on over 50% given the acceptance rate and self selection there, but that's 12M in revenue even at 100% active paying and 10% acceptance rate. That's 200K per employee - server costs. Seems like they&

As someone who regularly works on a lot of projects at once or regularly context switching, I think this is missing the larger point here. Returns are not magically nothing for someone 50/50 on two projects, but there is of course a co

You shouldn't need to, but on Hacker News I can't say I can fault this caveat getting ahead of some potentially nasty comments, even if in principle I agree it shouldn't need to be said.

This is almost 100% GDPR and laziness around their legal liability. You can find this issue of not being available in the EU for many sites entirely, regardless of if the news is about the US or not.

While there may be some, it is worthwhile looking into where that news was coming from. Much of that push was coming from NCOSE, which is pretty much a literal puritanical force. They had success recently with Pornhub, and then moved to Onl
