I think a lot of this stems from "take backsies" on a long term subconscious level. The HN audience in particular is not just tinker-friendly, but the vast majority surely lived through the era of Apple where Jobs pitched the iPho

>What do you think is the PineTime's biggest strength when compared with a mainstream smartwatch? Frankly, I think the combination of price/replaceability and privacy are the only things unique (besides niche FOSS modding) to i

Rewind? As in a non-automatic mechanical? Admittedly, all the mechanical watch issues I've read tend to be pertaining to the automatic variety.

It's an interesting experience, I have github send me an email on the odd occasion the community developed "OS" gets an update. Then I download the zip file on my phone browser and upload the file on Gadgetbridge for the upda

If you're cheap/privacy/FOSS focused like myself, I find the "PineTime" is largely the modern day Pebble watch. It may not literally watch every breath you take while you sleep, but I haven't wanted that person

It's funny how often I see people make bring up the "did you know" tidbit about software engineering not being "real" engineering in a traditional sense, which seems to go very uncontroversially. But prompt engineer

To be fair, I haven't ever heard suspicions of prejudice as an argument to discredit Spanish expedition's writings on the matter, presumably as I've heard the accounts were often eyewitnessed, unlike typical Roman/Greek

While it's interesting and something I hadn't heard about, Carthage's potential religious human sacrifice aspect of culture, this comment is ironically not that far off from historical views/curiosities of rival societie

Oh it most definitely grows faster, it's more a production question/investigation. I can say as someone who has a hobby woodworking in NA though, even factory made bamboo items can be reasonably pricey for the amount of material u

Hell, from what I've heard, basic electric knowledge was taught/expected in Britain until fairly recently. I was told that appliances would often come with a wire and no plug and it'd be the expectation that the consumer woul

Well, from my experience, bamboo isn't cheap, and from my reading varies in properties based on species at least as much as wood. A probably bigger problem though is you'd need to add production steps to an already not dirt cheap

Statistically, many "average" upper middle class people are very able to become low tier multimillionaires through a well educated upbringing and a good job, and good financial decisions over a long period of time. But many of tho

Have you never been in a real workplace? Passive aggressiveness is generally the tool of those in power to deflect any potential criticisms/issue taking, and the lower rung and more powerless the worker, the less their overt aggression

It's comments like these that make wanting a better world feel like a truly thankless, sisyphean task. All I can say without wasting too much of my own personal time is: in the world of federal spending you suggested > US military

Well, if there's one thing I've learned, is that a venture capitalist proposing biometric world crypto coins does probably have quite a bit of charisma to keep people opening doors for them. Frankly I've heard of worse loya

To be honest, as far as I can tell, the case FOR Sam seems to largely be of the status quo "Well, idk, he's been rich and successful for years, surely this correlates and we must keep them" type of coddling those in uber supe

It is also worth noting that as of time of writing, the idea of whether or not Laozi was a single person that ever existed is less clear than originally interpreted. One of the translations I've read more recently takes note of how it,
