Still don't really see what is "hipster" about these quotes from the article. They're pretty fair criticisms of what mainstream tourism is like today. While it's a bit much to say that Instagram is ruining vacation

I'll probably get downvoted to coach for this, but I strongly disagree here. It's written in long-form journalism format, where the story unapologetically takes a backseat to the author's experience of the facts and environm

Yet again, The New Yorker hobbles closer to the realm of click-bait. After the Malik trots us down the obligatory Sontag shortcut to establish credibility on the subject of photography and authenticity, he goes into some genuinely informati

I just don't see it. Haven't we learnt over the last few years that consumers just don't seem to give a shit about their data? Conversely, even Apple not handing over keys to the FBI still doesn't put privacy-concerned

I mostly agree, but can't see much evidence of Kim Jong-un being kept on a short leash by the West. Pyongyang launches 40-meter, 8000 km Taepodong missiles for funsies with very little international reprimand. I just hope this matter

It's a great question. I also would love to unearth an intelligent community where discourse isn't limited to growth hacking, jQuery plugins, and startup pivoting. HN is the closet I get, but people here tend not to take intelle

Not sure if how company who netted $18 billion in their last quarter needs to generate buzz. Either way, bringing a car to market is a wise move for Apple never struck me as a great idea. I've always suspected there's just too mu
