I'm seriously disappointed in HN when the only responses to consumers getting $16K power bills are them getting blamed or instructed on how to live without electricity.

That's why it says "In another 20 years" and not "today". Because you can bet that it'll be on everybody's minds in 20 years.

Well, if that move keeps it from being cut (as evidently was the case), I'd prefer this over the unhealthy new forests that are ecologically unsound but are purely for bookkeeping CO2.

I never heard of these before. I wish there was a plugin that'd signal me if I visited a Google-owned platform and provided me with alternatives.

Culture used to be a generations common denominator. People drifting towards certain media, fashion or consumer products that allowed to express themselves as individuals and as part of a larger group at the same time. That concept got grab

They don't as much share info as live off the same ecosystem in your phone. Regular users, who don't actively block their FB apps from accessing their phones in depth, will store Whatsapp contacts on their phones, which in turn ar

I'm fairly sure you missed his point. Entirely.

Everything about the VR investment is a mid- to long-term bet. So "they really don't have the tech yet" doesn't really mean much, since they probably will have the tech in the next few years. Both in a better (data gathe

Can you link me one of those studies? Assuming it's about modern hyper-targeted social media content based advertising, not last decade's old-school banners.

If you own an Oculus, you know how eery the boundary mapping is. Before they switched it off, you'd be able to see your boundary from outside its fencing. Some users report being able to see the boundary from a different room. So not o

You are treating VR like it's another browser. It's not. With cameras in every direction scanning and parsing your environment, data on your physical fitness and the always-on nature of the Quest 2 it is far more invasive than eve

I don't know if they still operate that way, but the Valve Manual For New Employees is actually a fun read. Evidently you just roll your desk over to the project group you want to be a part of and roll with it. https://steam

Whatever he did in the past, this whining about FB not linking his database with copyrighted script -interlaced with non-issues like how a platform he does not use spells his name- doesn't help anyone much now. There are bigger digital

Pfff, such fabricated drama. This shit gives real digital rights activists a bad name.

Well, it's no so much 'good riddance' (we really want you to stay) as we're all glad the awkward political tug of war is over and we all know where we stand. Even if it isn't where we would have liked to, at least w

If they measure the number of click-throughs as an absolute and not a percentage, it might very well have been that more ads have been served because there were more online productions or they simply drew in more visitors. I think this is a

I recognize your point of view. For me the Quest was a game changer. Just press the power button and you are ready to go. Even your previous boundary settings are retained. Just step into the circle and fly.

Well, in your metaphor he decided to get rid of all cars, forever. There are probably a ton of people who blog about that. Since there is no alternative for Linkedin and it is defacto the only professional social network out there, it is a

Space is empty. The deep ocean has things. Old, blind things with little lights and teeth and tentacles.

I just see a bunch of portal editors seeing fired. A guy picking through blurbs to post on a channel is not a journalist. Basically MS starts doing what everybody else has been doing all along: curation by algorithm.

I'm guessing they had been holding back until the campaigning season started. Now they get maximum impact.

That reminds me: What happened to WT Social? For a while it was a shiny new thing and then it just kind of fizzled out.

Wait what? A flight sim without VR? I hadn't even considered the possibility. That's kind of a bummer.

Thing thing about committing stuff to memory is that it results in a fragmented install base across the 'user base' that may not get updated regularly. Even just double-checking Google before you act on existing knowledge may prov
