"Wait to long and all the good ones might be gone". The older I get, the more I see what a fallacy this kind of thinking is. A lot of the "good ones" often exit marriages and long-term relationships to better themselve

I did much the same and had a pretty horrible experience with Blackberry after owning multiple Iphones. I guess i realized that there are just so many basic IOS apps that actually had value to my life that weren't available on BB. Th

Apologies in advance for an off-topic meta comment, but I'm curious. I read this 8 hours ago when you posted it and saw it had a couple of upvotes. So how come 8 hours later and with only 6 upvotes this is towards the top of HN? Also

Yikes, kudos for enduring that. I've actually started to turn my phone off at night, and it's actually crazy the feeling of relief I get from that small action. It's like there's some invisible unbilical cord between m

The culture changed. Tech now mostly attracts (post)collegiate millennials chasing the startup wave (don't blame them, it's where there's chance of an actual job). You only have to look at the dwindling state of open-source

That Isaacson book really leveled him for a lot of people. OP is right about him not putting up with crap. Sure, not everything that came out of Cupertino was rock solid. But I think as much of an aesthete that he appears to be have been,

I watched this ascend to the top of HN in one min with constant refreshing. Refreshed one last time in that minute and it had disappeared. How does this happen?

I don't think Kubrick needs any more mythologizing or celebrating, but dammit if Barry Lyndon isn't a ridiculously great piece of film-making. While I think his Napoleon film (which provided all the research for the Lyndon world-

Parsing for quality signal here can be tough with an article with over a 100 comments. Screen real estate can be hogged by the noisier threads, making it difficult to track a meaningful discussion.

Another reason we meed collapsable threads here. You'll never stop "noise" entirely, but bullshit threads that sparked by OT comments could be easily snipped with collapsable threads.

The emotional maturity of humans creeps at a sloths waddle, while technological maturity moves like quicksilver. The virtuality roll-out will be interesting.

As a non-American, it's pretty scary for the rest of us to see how your society can tolerate these Eritrean standover tactics, while still retaining this "freedom loving" doublespeak in the national cinema you project into th

Well pop-art is calling, and would like a word about your first point. As for "real art", how does divergence stem from practice? There are plenty of great works, say a Rauchenberg or a Turrell, who's beauty comes not from t

You talk like complexity for the sake of It equates to value. It is the synthesis of disparate elements into something gestalt that creates something interesting.

Well I don't share this reductionist view. Overuse entirely infringes upon beauty because the technique in question becomes progressively less vitalic and potent with people thoughtlessly employing it for the affect of authenticity.

Aren't we over this visual effect yet? I renember a few years ago every hipster with a 5D was using this effect to give their work the affect of authenticity. It ma be interesting technically, but the overuse has made it far from bea
