Bribery is pretty common. In many countries you almost cannot do anything without greasing wheels. My Father was a head of publicly traded pharma. Stories he had about China and India in particular were fascinating and sad at the same time.

I never understood America's irrational hate against wagons. It actually goes back decades too. Luckily, hatchback is still somewhat available in the U.S., so that's what I drive, plus manual tranny. But they're now unicorn

Have you sat in one? (at least ones from the 90s) Their seats make you go "Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh"

how worried should I be about Saab 900 ('78-'94) and its manual transmission reliability? I adore this car (and its lovely seats) so much I'm tempted to buy one but I hear its manual tranny is fragile.

If you're using Chrome, change the page zoom from 100% to 33% or 50%. It feels so much more normal (to me)

Yeah, and given App Store owners (AAPL GOOG) have vested interest in selling more phones (or increase share), they won't be penalizing any time soon.

I went through 3 lenovos in the past 17 years. I had 3 failures: 1. HDD failed. 2. SSD failed. 3. I dropped it from kitchen countertop. Backlight had to be replaced, but otherwise fine. There was zero failure associated with ports, keyboa

Are you using online version or Amazon downloadable one? I've been using the latter for 20 years and have never felt like it was being deliberately misleading. I just say no to everything. I don't even e-file. I still print and

It looks like a legit kit!

Agreed. I’m surprised there are more than 500 parts. I guess to do a proper Justice the kit would need to be twice as big with 5 times more parts

This would be for adult and I don’t think they would actually play with the completed kit? A lot of adults are into aviation and they are probably the target audience. Personally growing up with lego sets in 80s I prefer kits that do not ha

Reminds me of Go Pro IPO https://g.co/finance/GPRO:NASDAQ?window=MAX And to a lesser degree, Fitbit, which of course was bought out. I'm guessing Peloton will follow the Go Pro IPO trajectory.

It's interesting how those green pylons were completely invisible to the car's sensor. If you look at dashboard LCD 4:30, the car seems too slow to register them as objects or misses it completely. 4:42 it makes a right onto tram

I agree there's no pressure on these companies as a whole. Ideally, they should be heavily investing in R&D while the moat is still wide. I manage a product design team. We've long moved away from from using Adobe products.

I think it's partly because you're looking at this through HN posting and you are aware of the dark pattern issue. Even if it poses no problem for 95% if people, if it does for 5%, it's a big number. the problem is, they&#x2

That's the problem. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects have almost no competition and they know it. Even if there were, companies can't just jump to different tools because they would lose ability to open all thei

I can't stand youtube ads, especially the ones one with conversational tones! The worst thing about youtube is, when I do a search, it intentionally throws in videos that have absolutely nothing to do with my search.
