Yes and this Minecraft game looks like it was made in the 80s...pretty horrible as well. It's not just Nintendo, the subpar graphics have spread everywhere. Do people really care about graphics that much? My guess would most casual gam

I've always wondered how learnable an understanding of unlikely events is but never investigated further. I guess a population of online poker players with increasing number of hands played (10k, 100k, 1 million etc.) (preferably winni

They can always claim that they were told it's not that bad and that they did get company counseling but it was not sufficient and the actual dangers were undersold. This paragraph makes me think there's actually a decent case: &q

On Android 6.0+ you can deny the READ_PHONE_STATE permission and stop using apps that won't work if you do. A quick search seems to indicate that there is an Alibaba app for iOS. Do you think Apple negotiated that the IMEI isn't r

Sounds very similar to my story with some minor differences. I never had an Amiga/Atari ST/C64 as I simply had...nothing (friends had ST and Amigas so I got some exposure). Later on my family got a super expensive PC (first genera

I'm not sure it's that wise to look at this years money in and this years money out. Wouldn't it make more sense to look at say the last 5 years of money out and the last 5 years-X of money in (X being 6-10ish, whatever the a

"Beta tested and used by almost 1,000 YC founders" Most things I have clicked on have about 10 ratings tops and one line reviews. Even as a quantitative tool it's not that useful (yet). Would be interested in seeing some stat

How does this turn into a unicorn? I have trouble envisioning the scale tbh (and it seems fairly easy to imitate). I like the general idea but it doesn't strike me as something a VC would find attractive.

You could use this idea as a MVP quick lab framework of sorts. 1) Get inspired by a soon to be expiring domain name 2) Buy something similar, set up MVP, set target metric and number you want to get to before the domain from 1 expires 3) If

I think it's pretty shady to air the episodes before the deal is finalized (imo, other people I know strongly disagree). They essentially get free reality TV candidates without any obligation. You can always back out if you want to. [I

I think the MMORPG concept could get a nice boost from live AR (Ingress/Pokemon Go). I think it would be pretty cool to form a group, walk around and fight spawning mobs and play some sort of instances. Would probably easy to monetize

Linux has about half of the market share of all OS X versions combined. Not too bad considering there's not exactly many systems that come with Linux preinstalled. Still minuscule compared to the Windows market share but I'd gladl

So I can't send an email that explains why I think X algorithm is slow and should be changed? Seems silly. NYT: To the dismay of their employees, Google insist on using slowALGO, possibly costing them X sum.
