Ah it seems to redirect HN users to [0]. Sorry, it worked in my search so I didn't know about that. You can just search for "color typography" and read an alternate link or try clicking into that one from Google/the addr

To be honest, most people on HN/reddit focus wayyyy too much on titles these days, so much so that the only comments in this thread so far are about whether it is clickbait. Yes clickbait is a problem, but I also think we should make e

No thanks, Disney has already done enough to fuck over the public domain via copyright. We don't need them using trademarks to fuck over developers too. Besides, I doubt their lawyers would want them to dilute their trademarks like tha

You got downvoted but it's true. People unlocked their phones just fine before with pins or patterns. The time saved is marginal. Fingerprints need to go the way of facial recognition to unlock. Unfortunately as these get more popular

Why is everyone getting so caught up in the free part? If the lectures were a dollar would you say that they're obligated to subtitle them then? Nope, then you'd say that they're forcing a private organization to do things. (

Or the reasonable thing for them to do is address the issue? No organization in the article said they were going to stop but instead reiterated their commitment to spreading knowledge, as they should. As for your last point, it's very

Spoken word does exist. You're just drawing up arbitrary lines when in real life boundaries between media and genre aren't so distinct.

Unpopular opinion, but they're both overrated. DiCaprio just overacts and people interpret it as a sign of good acting (c.f.: "he cut his hand and kept acting!"; method acting is also given too much credit these days as well)

Thanks for the response. You raise an excellent point on the interdisciplinary nature of a lot of modern projects, and how ethical issues can often be ignored. While I don't doubt the team is using some kind of heuristic to ignore spam
