Guys, let's not go overboard with the hyperbole. I fully accept you guys wanting to support their PopOS endeavor, I totally get it. But let's not all act like we're all CEOs of megabillion dollar companies with boardroom meet

Wildly overpriced compared to building it yourself or compared to other PC building companies? Both actually, the markup is extremely high on their stuff if you try to get a gaming rig from them. I built all my PCs since I was 13, and I c

I totally sympathize with the driver compatibility concern, but what is the hassle of sticking in a linux usb drive to install? In general, how serious are these driver compatibility concerns for modern laptop hardware?

What makes their stuff so great? I was customizing a gaming rig on their site the other day and it was wildly overpriced. I imagine you can match their specs for this laptop at cheaper prices.

People from India need to speak up about this if that's true, because Western readers love articles like this to broadly discriminate.

How long before a good PR team re-brands crypto as "Alternative Finance Vehicles"? Feel like that crypto brand is taking quite the beating now days. Not Crypto, AFVs. The pitch: This is not another scam Crypto startup. This is an

You'd need a good volunteer team of experts willing to shepherd it first and foremost. For it to be a volunteer team you'd need everyone to ideologically believe in the idea. They should be able to build an outline, line item wise

Star Citizen raised half a billion dollars for a game that is never going to be released and all they did was promise a game in space with spaceships, sooo ... Yeah, I think we could crowdfund a billion dollars for this, but we'd need

Lack of reality based thinking coupled with adhd stimulants that on initial intake create a euphoria and makes you feel even more grandiose. That's when reality based thinking goes completely out the window. He has no objective capabil

Sure seems like a Adderral high right? Like bro, the feds are building a case against you. Shut the fuck up, and only talk to your lawyers. He’s high as fuck on Adderral right now. The Adderral high can make you feel like the dumbest shit y

The average user wont do it because there is still physical barriers. The headsets are too heavy still, and outside of the Quest2, they are usually tethered. It’s not a casual experience yet because even putting the headset on is not a casu

I think there is a big difference between Indian tech/medical workers and the nearly billion people living in India. Indians will most likely deal with what America deals with, but with even greater contrast between the haves and have

This is not the form factor that will change the paradigm. The smartphone was. I agree with you that if you had your face slammed against a Gameboy as an adult in the 90s, people would have judged you. That changed real fast, but it had to

Form factor for AR is literally like nuclear fusion at the moment. I don’t know when they are going to get it looking like normal fucking glasses, but until then, no one is going outside with this shit. They have to pivot this soon enough t

You're actually presenting this as an excuse for racism against Indians? Holy shit. I am not presenting it as an excuse, I am presenting it as a probable reason for it. It’s like if a historian explains to you the Treaty of Versaille

It’s left over resentment over Indians being cheaper for the sake of being cheaper. It’s a more economic resentment than a racial one. I personally don’t think this dynamic is as true anymore because Indians can command market rate globally

I doubt it. If they only hire themselves, eventually they will have to compete with each other. That’s when the gloves come off and they’ll hire whoever to beat the other Indian. The Indian on Indian war is inevitable. How do you think they

It’s not that insignificant. It’s still a minority group that is getting to the top without specific diversity mandates. Hiring an Indian “because diversity” was never a thing. There wasn’t ever a huge social push to “get more Indians into

Can you explain what makes them good at it? I’m guessing be a grade A yes-man has a lot to do with it.

It’s not invalid. That particular counter argument you reused has been overused. We live in a relative world. Sometimes you do have to realize your perspective is off when you over internalize and take a narrow view of just your own predica

I’d look to addicts and alcoholics that turn sober. Their feedback loops are way out of whack from years of drug/alcohol abuse. Yes, you do return to normal. It’s just that addicts and alcoholics cause so much social and legal issues t

This sounds like the correct way for these things to be utilized. In your case, you were approaching a bottom so in so many words, you were at the end of the line and the only way to go was up (if you wanted out of the predicament). Where t

I’m only saying it like this because I’ve been through this neurotic phase. It’s a soul leech. At one point I overthought so much that I literally laid in bed in fear for days. It took awhile to snap out of it and realize what a pointless e

You’ll just have to get over it and do the best you can. HN cannot keep giving posts like this soft advice, especially when so many of you are no where in the realm of teenage years anymore. Even if you were in your early 20s, I’d advise yo

I mean we have good evidence that athleticism at the competitive level has a drop off at a certain age, and even that is mostly only a factor at elite levels. There’s nothing stopping you from being a great basketball player in casual terms

40 has nothing to do with it. Every other day I see a Ask HN post from younger people bringing up depression, burnout, and apathy. Listen, there are 60 year olds that look like our long held image of a 60 year that can barely walk or do any

Weight loss aside, eating a lot early just makes more sense. You can go the whole day hungry and tired, or you can go the whole day not hungry and tired. It just makes sense to put the big meal in the morning than at night.
