Those consoles already existed, the Wii and Wii U, Nintendo moved away from the whole idea. It's a good idea in theory but it didn't catch on and realistically kids just aren't a big enough market to concentrate on in the con

They tried it twice, it didn't take off and realistically it never would. Unless all consoles/pc supported some kind of similar functionality most developers will ignore it because it's just more work for one console that won

It depends on the game, but some communities loathe skill based match making. Apex Legends is currently up in arms about it because upper 20% players are being matched in with top 0.1% players and that means every single game has to be play

The problem is, they usually sound like fanatics.

I think there's an entire section of the audience that don't like livestreaming but do like watching highlights of cool stuff in youtube. I don't watch twitch, but I know who Doctor Disrespect and Shroud are because I've

By your own description of what you're doing, yes it does? You've said nobody can make you contribute back to those creators via social norms so you will not, so within the system your actions are parasitic? You consume/use b

Ahh I see, a parasitic relationship.

It does require payment though, via ads/google red/paid promo's/patreon, you're just choosing to ignore it because it suits you?

The entitlement of people who think they should get everyone else's time and effort for free is quite astonishing. "I have deigned to click on your video, you may entertain me! Expect nothing in return! It is my right!"

It's not that nobody cares, it's that nobody can do anything about it.

Because nobody can prove people are skipping the ads. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, if you make an app that's sole purpose is that and it becomes massively popular then you know a huge chunk of the audience is skipping said a

The world doesn't want more search engines though. Like the world doesn't want another streaming service to pay for, it just wants everything in one place which costs $15 a month or preferably free.

Reddit has two use cases. It has the "logged out" snapshot of what's going on in the world/internet use case, much like digg or slashdot or fark fulfilled in the past. Then when you get tired or annoyed by that it has th

Dark modes are a lot easier on the eyes if you spend a lot of time infront of screens and to greater and lesser extent everybody spends lots of time infront of screens nowadays. That being said, I have pretty good luck with browser plugin

I don't really know what happened. This place used to be excited about new tech nowadays it's... curmudgeonly.

It's the daily hate on google thread. It doesn't really matter what specifically google is or isn't doing you'll see the same litany of complaints repeated over and over. HN has become painful in that regard.

The end goal for google with this tech isn't stadia, it's something completely new. It's loading and playing a game as easily as you load and watch a youtube video right now. Stadia's just the beta test to get the hardwa

The more likely explanation is that people got tired of Assange's story and so the articles didn't get the clicks to justify covering them any more. The Guardian can get more clicks with a steady drip of vegan opinion pieces, stor

Nothing like a good old fashioned moral panic, every time a new communication medium turned up someone tried to ban it or neuter it.

They don't do it because it won't lead to any additional page views but will require extra effort.

I think it's simply that the intrinsic act of telling someone why they failed to get a job is likely to be unpleasant for the person doing it and that person has absolutely no incentive to do it. Why would they do an unpleasant task th

Anything that people will actually use will become popular and will need to run ads to support itself, so it ends up in the same situation as youtube. The pressures that make youtube act the way it does aren't going to be significantly

I think it's the shift to mobile first design. Old reddit was a desktop site, new site is designed for mobile first.

I genuinely think slashdot did it best, being able to upvote comments for different reasons. Be they "funny" or "insightful" and then letting you sort by what you preferred to see.

I've travelled in Thai and Chinese sleeper trains, think I probably like the Thai ones the most although Chinese ones are fine as well. Nice thing is they're cheap as well, although probably about comparable in price as a budget a

by dageshi 7y ago
You're basically describing a sleeper train but those are increasingly rare because they are that much more expensive than flying that people don't consider them worth it. Not enough people will pay the extra for regular point to

Lot's of low effort contrarianism in just about every thread is what's happening. Genuinely, I think HN is now worse than reddit, only reddit has some actual funny/entertaining comments while HN is just... I don't know l

I think the Grand Tour probably got quite a few people to subscribe to prime.

The franchise itself is so big that it has/had a lot of momentum, fans were willing to give it a lot of chances. The test will be this years film and how it does.

Amazon more or less won didn't it? It doesn't have total domination of ecommerce but frankly it'd run into anti-trust issues if it did. No company is going to do ecommerce bigger than amazon without getting broken up so yeah.
