Too bad their shitty mail service does not play nicely at all with Firefox. Seriously, Yahoo Mail does not even allow me to attach a PDF when I'm in Firefox. There's a raft of other functionality issues which drove me to the deci

I think it may be partially attributed to what Bret Victor calls Picture Under Glass [1]. Bret talks a lot about how we use our phones and tablets all day handling representations of real things beneath glass. We are not interacting in a

Detroit is the perfect microcosm of the US wealth polarity trend. Only a few miles from the "ruin porn" live suburbs like Bloomfield Hills - which has the fourth highest income out of any suburb in the US (1). I'm hopeful tha

So how exactly are we meant to "fight for it" in a world where everything we own will be soon talking to each other? Is Assange arguing for stasis? What is his vision for a commercial internet? The holocene is over Mendax. The

Exactly. Let's not engage in this faux polemic about art-v-practicality. Sony are not mumblecore aesthetes from Bushwick. They are a megalith that should have their security locked down hard. Sorry you got owned, but seriously get

No, I think you nail it with the rawness and lack of music. Maybe do a little research into noise gating and micing techniques. I also think the more you shoot in rooms without reverb, the closer we'll feel to the subject. I'm

Intereting idea. I must admit I found the cinematography great, but the interviews themselves not so engaging. I think your interviews would benefit from something like Errol Morris' 'Interatron' (1). Basically, this allows

Eww. Stop saying 'gorgeous'. That goes for 'bespoke' and 'beautiful' as well when it comes to desicribing your design and UI. Seriously, it's 2015 in a couple of months.

I thought the licensing thing is not an issue if you switch to x264 (open source)? Better video also - smaller file size, less artifacts, doesn't desaturate the image.

Is it really "viral"? I think there's probably some kind of confirmation bias going on for the journalist, where participating in the subreddit makes it seem more popular than it is.The series has its moments, but has defini

Actually disappointed I scored so low on this. I think it's healthy for community discussion that HN users to have sizable hater scores - otherwise we're a bunch of yes people (like me, it seems).

I'm building a site like this at the moment and things like this made me happy we chose video and real humans - instead of vector images. Showing people how to exercise in 7 minutes is easy - but motivating them to exercise is a total

I'm not convinced. Anyone could do this "hack" with MS Paint. If it were real, then surely the proof would manifest with some kind of change of the Twitter interface.

Downvote away, but "meh" from me. This read to me like just another SJW alarmist, wringing their fists and crying "because social media". Women, like every other group, need to engage with the internet on it's own t
