I f'in hate this thing. I've used it on my partner's car, and it doesn't compare to a few real purpose driven buttons. Try adjusting which vents are blowing, or something like that. Total PITA!

Touch screens are a cheap way to create modular displays: they can be reused for any "app". They're upgradeable and skinnable. In a car, maybe they have a place for people who want customization; my personal take is the oppos

In a sense, it's interesting that we (social network users) once found the activities of our friends and acquaintances "interesting", but that's largely been subjugated to simply "interesting things are interesting&

This comment has drawn the ire of hackernews, simply for posing it, with a slight tilt. The general consensus seems to be that good QA is highly valuable. As for if their pay were unfair, would they not leave for a better pay/safer wo

Is hackernews on the side of QA people? What’s the general feeling? I can’t see their working conditions being genuinely terrible or unsafe, or the pay being that unfair. Perhaps they’re being driven too hard?

What do you mean by copycat? As in he takes someone else's paper and gives it a clever name? Or do you just mean he is using lots of silly methods of doing data exfil?

I appreciate that my initial comment somehow led to this comment. Did Cobra Command pay in crypto? (and if so, which coin did it use?)

That's what I meant by different scale; not in terms of total valuation. Their celsius bucks clearly do not carry the backing of taxation, land, government, or military. I believe Celsius was lending out staked crypto and paying in the

Education in the broadest sense isn’t all positive. It comes at a cost of time and money. There are certainly institutions and endeavors that might not have a yield on the time and money spent. For profit colleges capitalizing on student lo

I can't believe this comment hasn't been downvoted into oblivion, but I tend to agree. It's a markov model. Educated people care about educating their children. Uneducated either a) want their kid to be the first to reach hig

Appreciate the driver insight here! We often play off “the good old days” before tech took over industry X. Nice to know history isn’t all roses and sugar in reality.

They’ve made multiple movies/series about WeWork. Where is the movie in Uber??? Take my money! Show me the Kalanick!

My self-esteem is fine! A 5 is not bad : half of people are prettier than me, half are less pretty. But calling a "5" a "1" is a little mean, no? ;-) Don't really care.

... I got a 5. When I smiled it bumped me up to 5.5 Fwiw, telling someone a 5 is a 1 is even meaner. :-/

Americans need to start realizing that a 100 year old building isn't historical; it's just old and may have outlasted it's useful life. That said, we also need to start modeling our cities based on the success we see outside

Did not realize that; I think you likely know more about movie economics than I do. Why only movies about real life? (or said swedish maroon stories)

This movie is about to get hackernews'ed ;) The residuals for whatever service will stream it are going through the roof. Funded. Get ready for swedish marooned family part 2!!!!

The ink disappears if you don’t pay your subscription fee. It’s amazing libraries have managed to stay true to their goal and not charge membership fees. Should authors be getting residuals on every read of their book in the same way every

I’m not even sure the liability should be on McDonalds. In stupid America, everyone tries to blame someone. Sometimes it’s just you spilled your own coffee on you. If it was a McDonald’s employee that spilled it on you, different story. The

It is possible that some jobs are meant to be stepping stones, not permanent positions (ie: you outgrow them, and someone lower on the learning totem pole steps into the role for a time).

Text is so cheap to store and distribute, yet they can monetize so well. Much cheaper than images, or video. Adding a way to get more content in their distribution network makes complete business sense. (whether it's good for the inter

I'm not sure why you wouldn't expect this; you're transferring energy into a motor, so it will either need to gyrate in place, or accelerate downwards or upwards up a hill. Is it a surprising a snake can move without legs? It
