While you come off a bit rough on victim blaming you do have a point. Video-game developers should have formed a union long time ago but here we are. I somewhat lack sympathy when the industry is clear as water about abuse like this yet peo

Do you somehow imply that wireless earbuds didn't exist lol? We've had them for _years_. I used to go to the pool with a set that was also _water-proof_ like 3 years ago, watch out for the _new_ waterproof airpods coming out!

I mean their overpriced and look absolutely stupid. Airpods seem to be entirely an US thing and a result of great marketing. If anyone could convince people to buy and wear this it would be apple in USA.

Took them long enough. I've bough some chinese wireless earbuds _with_ a charging case like this a year ago for 30$ and they are surprisingly decent. I feel that some big companies like apple are losing their edge when it comes to inno

I've gotten some 20+ seconds unskipable ads. That's the moment when I simply switched to MPV for watching youtube videos as the ads keep squeezing through every adblock filter I've tried once in a while.

Ech at least on android you can easily install apps outside of google play. _I_ find it scary to make business with as you can be pretty much _snapped_ out of existance in a single decision.

I live in one of such buildings in Thailand and I love it! I live in 30 store high new condo that is pretty much bought out by chinese investors and few seasonal tourists. There are probably 200 people living here and on my floor I have 1 n

Your anecdote covers business leasing when the article discusses housing. Surely having a flat sit empty for years while people don't have any place to live in is a problem, right? Obviously there's an economic incentive here (why

Wow, what a contrast to this study of 36 people. Personally I feel that it's a bunch of placebo but a bunch of people I know swear by it. Nevertheless it's much harder to convince people to do what's more efficient compared t

My vlogger example was rather lazy. I'm not really sure how to define the current meta youtube content but "creative" is definitely not a word would be using for majority of it. I mean every youtuber thinks about how to avoid

It doesn't matter. Youtube videos are a business to some people so anything that has _potential_ to harm revenue will go straight out of the window. "Is it worth to include this kid in my skit if it will reduce the revenue by 10%?

You are depressing. You are validating blanked "solutions" that harm the creative content and at what cost? This obsession with regulating and controlling everything that happens on the internet is just hysterical. Also "Thin

I love liberapay but everytime I go there I see that developing floss is not a viable career path even for the best of the best. Weekly income is no more than 100€, that's what like an hourly rate of top end freelance developer (which

I'm really confused as well. HN is not really a community and there isn't even a set subject on this site. People who are interested in Tech news? That would be an absurdly broad and uninteresting classifier.

Should we design standards for the dumbest of the lot lol? Not everyone understand that TLD is then maybe they should be educated rather than appeased to. Also it seems to be primarily USA's issue. Every other nation uses their domain

Really? Because starting feb 28th it's only 12$/year, that's lower than pretty much any other decent TLD. Do indie devs really need the high demand domain names?
