Surely some of that is lag time in economic policy.

Between Gen X/Millennials pulling back from technology, and Gen Z revolting against it, I wonder what kind of products and/or design trends might materialize. Hoping for a return to a more tactile world.

Isn't China currently stuck in a deflation loop?

Is this demonstrably better that just... the devices already in your bag? My backpack would be a primary use case... and in it are my AirPods, iPad, and MacBook Air. I think any of these can use Find My already?

When I was a kid I always wondered why Dr. Sattler had to manually prime/charge the breaker before enabling it. Apparently it is because that model (and others like it) use a spring to quickly close the circuit. When she is priming it

Really neat concept but that name is so unfortunate. Is it bit-chat or bitch-at? Frankly either would work.

As the last generation that remembers what life was like before the internet, we need to ask ourselves - is the world we built better than the one we were born into? The older I get, the less convinced I am. It's not just nostalgia, as

I am not sure what is driving it, but PC gaming has had some explosive growth in Japan recently. I think in 2024 they were up to 15% of marketshare.

Fish is also right there. They are all high quality, readily available protein sources. It should not be a surprise that they show up so prominently as a recommendation.

Sites back then had benevolent dictators that curated an experience for fans. I think in many ways it worked better than the democratized communities we have today.

Interesting thought experiment, replace "AI agent" with "computer" in this article. Seems our parents/grandparents may have been having some of the same conversations 50 years ago. --- The advantages of computers ov

I too struggle with this. It's not like people can't publish things on the web without ads. If the author/artist wanted it to be free, the ads wouldn't be there. So people who use ad blockers are either making a moral ch

I disagree, something I learned pretty quick when we moved out of the city. How do you haul your trash to the dump when there is no pickup service in your area? How do you acquire a replacement dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, or big screen

Almost 25% of Americans are rural as well… bikes and public transportation are never going to work for them. In fact, cars don’t always work for rural folks - a lot of them benefit from (if not outright need) trucks.

My thoughts definitely drifted there. I read it last year and IMO it’s still as relevant as ever.

Merry Christmas friends! I have a C64 Ultimate under the tree this year so looking to have a bit of retro fun that would make the HN community proud (after assembling all the kids stuff, of course).

Yoshi’s Island still holds up, and I think it remains a contender for one of the best platformers of all time. Recently replayed with the little ones and they were completely captivated.

As I age, it gets harder to enjoy competitive games. I just can’t keep up with people who play 6 hours a day and are in their peak twitch-reflex years.

I bought one of these to play with when it was announced, but with all the drama I’ve been hesitant to invest any time with it. Anyone make anything interesting?

Would it be possible to just ship video streaming devices with a FPGA that can be updated to support whatever hardware accelerated codec is fashionable?

And now that disco easter egg is stuck in my head... (although technically I think that was part of Beyond the Dark Portal).

My kids will still go to a four-year university, but for the education and experience, not for any vocational aspirations. I have no delusions about the marketability of an undergraduate degree. A happy side effect of that university degree

I have complicated feelings towards process, especially in large enterprises. In one hand, I know process is how you get good work out of average people - and that has a lot of value in big businesses because statistically, most people are
