I imagine an auction-site like this is only as good as the number of people that are using it. What issues do you have with it? I find it's not perfect, but it generally works reasonably well.

I find it amusing to imagine Nintendo trying to shut down this game. Like I get that legally they have the right to protect their IP, but realistically, what are they worried about? That this game is a threat to sales of their actual game?

Also in Amsterdam - canals mostly have no railings along their canals to prevent people from falling in. I heard a story that dead bodies of men kept getting found in the canals with alcohol in their blood and their flies undone. As you can

I use Firefox on Mac, but I don't notice any performance hits. At least not compared to Chrome, or browsers on other operating systems. I don't use Safari so maybe I don't know what I'm missing out on. What performance i

I've always had some admiration for ReactOS, but I also find it a bit baffling. It's been in development for so long, and it doesn't appear to be particularly stable. Granted, it's a difficult project, but I also struggl

Also an iPhone SE user, a smaller form factor is definitely important for me. I've actually ordered a Nokia 2720 flip phone. Features might be limited but it'll be good to have as a backup and to play around on.

The article is about a browser plugin, it doesn't state anywhere that Vim is more efficient at writing code.

I like the idea, but I also can't think of anything I'd personally use it for. Does anyone else have any Mac apps on their "run-on-linux" wishlist?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Can you define "bad taste"?

Interesting! What are some examples of electronic music in that vein you would recommend? Edit: I guess I'm also interested in your quality-CGI scifi films as well :)

And I thought it was a low effort, slightly humorous film that stoners would watch while "boiling pot" in their bongs. :P

I agree with you overall. Although I'd point out that some people enjoy watching badly made and acted movies for a different reason. "The Room" is an absolute trainwreck that I enjoy watching. But yes, you're right. It&#

I genuinely enjoyed Mulhulland Drive, dislike Beethoven's ninth symphony (and most classical music) and Die Hard. True elitism is assuming your subjective preference is objectively better than other people's subjective preference.

Your comment is very difficult to understand...are you suggesting people could repurpose cell-phones for projects you would normally run on a raspberry pi?

So is discussing things on HN a good way of consuming knowledge?

I don't know, but they've got a hell of a lot more of a chance now that they're actually aware of the issues.

Speaking from personal experience - I watched the film with my girlfriend and a lot of it was news to her. It's changed her relationship with social media and technology. I also suggested it to a friend who was pretty addicted to Faceb

Can anyone recommend a good router that's good for putting openWRT on and isn't so user-hostile?

Wow. Kind of like red-team hackers testing the security of their website or whatever. Sounds like a dream job for the right person...a "drmcometru" if you will ;)

Thanks for the link! Tristan, one of the main interviewees in the documentary, is a co-founder of that organisation (Center for Humane Technology). Does anyone know of a good app/plugin that removes recommendations / the home scre
