Life should NEVER be about others who randomly value some ephemeral stuff that has no bigger meaning to you. NEVER. Your life should be about what YOU value. If you want to work at a company which carefully selects for "passion program

Usability is by far the biggest factor for me when it comes to AirPods. 3 years ago, they were the first seamlessly and reliably working product to free me of the cabled ear buds mess. Were there other bluetooth ear buds before? Yes. Were

What organization is really even credible anymore? In Germany, I liked to read the SPIEGEL magazine (not Spiegel Online, that's half a step before boulevard) until the Claas Relotius case happened [1]. They tried to save face and apolo

As a Mac/iPhone user the only thing that sort of breaks seamless is that Apple doesn't allow you to define a custom default browser on iPhone. I have Firefox in the dock on iPhone and it's really great but random links, e.g.

Watch VR when it (or rather if) it takes off. Then ads will truly be squeezed into our eyeballs in the most literal sense.

What makes it 10x worse for me is that the desktop Slack app icon looks 90% identical. The Photos app icon is a blurred version of the Slack app icon. Ugh. Edit: put them next to each other and took a screenshot to underline my post above:

PB goes kind of well with meat, as do peanut sauces in Asian cuisine. I get the same vibe out of it but only eat organic PB, not the processed garbage which has the texture of liquid plastic.

I use ShareNow daily, because I enjoy it. They will not last in Europe, deep in the red. Operating costs far exceed what people would be willing to pay for a ride. Essentially you have to provide people with brand new cars all of the time,

The only way for something to be profitable as online business, aside from e-commerce, is being a "platform". Ephemeral, little assets, just man-in-the-middle. Operating costs are basically determined by server centers and employe

Of course they do - at least in Germany. Your biometrics are part of your personal ID and passport. It is only thumb and index finger though plus facial scan / photo.

Same as US then. Every time you travel to the US - boom all 10 fingers scanned. It's nothing the Chinese are exceptional at.

That's very easy to say, and I am definitely NOT saying you are wrong. But I'd be somewhat careful. Space exploration has in the past provided us with lots of information that we can use to understand our own climate and planetary

But it's not a product you can sell or artificially inflate its monetary value so out the window it goes.

It's a bit unnerving how much this resembles my own experience. Never got that PhD though, stuck with a Masters :)

But the problem with all of this aren't these strategic questions about eradicating disease and improving the human condition. It's that all of this is happening within a frame of ignorance with regards to the insane, elusive comp

Nice solution for users, one that will immediately be denied by all providers. Why take your share of $15 /month if you can easily coerce the vast majority of consumers to pay the full $15 for your service by releasing the next seaso

It's always the same on HN. Some post about any news at Boeing, be they good, bad or whatever. Someone has to chime in and drag Airbus through the dirt at least once. Let's at least mention one issue regarding Airbus. Is this a sa

Wait a second. That HEAVILY depends on the different aspects of detection here. For starters, mammography is not performed every year for women at any age. Why? First, you need near perfect results on 1) false AND true positives and 2) fals

This resonates well with me. I honestly do not understand the benefit of dropping video games in favor of <random hobby>, for example reading. Alternate / do both if you enjoy it! Before you recoil in disgust, let me note that I
