You can cancel your USA membership too - just renounce your citizenship and move to a service you find more appealing. Then you no longer have to pay.

They haven't really figured out the technical challenge of regular video playback yet - hopefully they've outsourced the streaming technology instead of building it in-house.

I really have to apologize if this is not a HN-quality comment, but I initially read this as a startup rebrand announcement. Ebola is now Curable (YC 17)

I know this is about games, but I wanted to relay my experience using an eGPU (using the Razer enclosure and an AMD RX Vega 64) in a professional context. I had a good performance boost using Photoshop and Maya. But if you're using a p

Fantastic work, produces a high quality render result at around 500 samples. Is it possible to customize the sample count used in realtime mode, or is that automatic? I initially tried on my integrated GPU, but over on my 2080 Ti I'm g

This is a good idea, but also the behavior will probably be emergent with the introduction of this feature - I can definitely see OSS maintainers offering logos/links in the README in exchange for monthly sponsorship. I bet we'll

But it's not down to polygons or details in the environment - the simple architecture still looks realistic with the addition of realistic lighting. In the quest for realism, modern games have so many details, dirt and grit everywhere

I’d be very happy if my investment income was taxed at the same rate as my salary income. I’d be even happier if it was taxed higher. My time (labor) should be worth more than my money (capital).

Yes, I have 3 Chromecast audios and 2 Google Homes and they all play in sync throughout the house.

That was his first YC application, and it got rejected. Looks like his current startup (which is in YC) helps companies with onboarding. Your implementation looks nice! The idea of yet _more_ people to discuss politics with however... is no

He basically agreed with your skepticism in his first comment, but he also believes that his situation is comparatively very fortunate, when looking at many other people in this country. Both things can be true - your comment is comparing u

Here’s a grainy photo of the Salesforce tower I took while flying out of San Francisco on a foggy day earlier this week. https://i.imgur.com/qdGUhc1.jpg It would be pretty fun to be on a higher floor on a day like this!

They’re very different. The BBC is an independent organization funded directly by license fees paid by television owners. Unlike RT, it is independent from direct government intervention, and it doesn’t attempt to advance the interests whic

I also find this surprising - in fact I had to scroll up to check it wasn’t from 2013! Would love to hear views from anyone with a seed stage startup.

You agree to the terms of service when you sign up. If you're talking about making anonymous requests to their service, they only allow a few of those before they stop showing you profiles. If you circumvent that protection, it's

I don't follow cryptocurrency news much, and don't really understand the consequences of this. I do have some BTC in Coinbase, though I don't really spend it. Would you recommend I withdraw it ahead of the fork?

No, but quite a few people who are familiar with OpenGL are interested in learning Vulkan, and it's really educational to have a side-by-side comparison of the same scene.

Right - because their business model depends on you updating, they are strongly incentivized to break the file format with every new version.

I kind of disagree about Sketch having a customer-friendly model, because files produced by a newer version can't be opened by an older version - regardless of whether any new features have been used in that file. So you pay for a year

I absolutely love this tutorial. I followed it many years ago to create a simple raycaster, then extended it to have a ton of features like reflections, sprites, variable height walls etc. Thank you F. Permadi for the good times!

So WhatsApp had did have bigger team (you're comparing 50 engineers vs 50 employees total), and now it's even bigger. There are hundreds of people working on WhatsApp. It seems to me that WhatsApp and Vine have a similar staff to
