This is such a fun idea, great execution too. In a way I feel TikTok taps into this type of TV-like discovery, where you are not overloaded with options but instead just swipe through channels until you find something you want to stop and w

This has been brought up in the past and Apple did try to cater to that market with their smaller phone and it seemed the market response was not great, they ultimately had to drop the iPhone mini because it was not worth it.

So you define yourself as energy? Not your conscience? Because your conscience and sense of self is what most people would describe as gone when you die, and that's where the fear comes from. Energy has no feelings, no conscience, no s

You probably didn't watch the video. These are exactly the earrings used in the video to create the matrix LED ones. These earrings are just a fake jewel with an LED back light. The article showcases a programable LED matrix, which ope

Second that. Good to see a polite but firm discussion in the comments. Also very interesting topic, would love to be a fly-in-the-wall in a meeting between these two.

Issue is that modern UX designed moved away from this type of 3D buttons. There was a big transition from UIs using heavy skeuomorphism to a more flat and digital look. To achieve hat you're showing you need some depth to the button. H

I would expect these bots will be calling an ordering backend API which will validate the price of the items and the total. Are you suggesting people will plug open ended APIs that allow the bots to charge any amount without validations? I

This is a fantastic demo. I've tried to build these type of prototypes for all Meta Headsets in the past but their very limited API/SDKs block you from doing anything meaningful with computer vision. They are too scared of devs ge

A product manager is expected to view things from a business point of view. To identify features for the product and help it succeed in the market. A project manager is in charge of planing, execution and governance of a project. They don’t

It would still be interesting to do that excersice but with more recent movies. I do think the formula works quite well. As for the Joker I wasn't agreeing with the critics just describing the consensus based on reviews I've heard

I don't agree. Let's begin by making clear that art is subjective so what I'm stating depends on personal taste. I believe IMBD can help you identify the "most popular" movie. But it's up to you to decide if th

You went for very old movies which skews your analysis. A lot of the old movies you picked are famous and popular in movie pop culture. Audience scoring this in RT probably went out of their way to watch these films, they are not as organic

"Politically confronting themes" sounds like is very relative to your own political leaning. Probably more in line with the idea that film critics have an inherent type of political inclination being a small, creative niche.

TLJ: from a technical film POV this movie was actually great. Strong cinematography, interesting twists in the script and overall good acting and pacing. The issue is that it was a very bad "star wars" movie. A lot of fans felt it

I'm not sure what this is. Are you selling the hardware or are you selling the software to render the UI? There are no links to documentation or any information beyond a snippet of code. Not sure of the usefulness of this post. Might b

Cloud gaming is fantastic. I use it daily as I don't have or want to buy a PC or console. I pay $10 a month to play Destiny's latest expansion and I can unsub when I'm done. 4 months of gaming worth $40 instead of the console

Maybe the answer is that no one is trying to "keep tabs on worker power" and the decision is primarily driven by financial reasons? Cheap money had to be spent in an inflationary economy, money is more expensive now with higher ra

Exactly. The kiosk app that communicates to the terminal only gets a "transaction approved" response. There is no personal identifiable information provided to the kiosk app so there would be no way to link the pin they typed in t

Climate change doesn't invalidate the progress made with the industrial revolution. This is not a productive message, just trying to stir the pot.

This is something I ask myself constantly. I believe what the commenter means is that if you want to "grow" or get a higher salary then you will be expected to do more, and at a certain point the definition of more can only mean s

The audience of hackernews has grown and old users are trying to maintain the culture of the site. The value of this site comes from its community. Let's not turn it into reddit. I personally welcome this type of policing.
