I'm blown away at how many tech savvy people on hackernews still persist with Google search or talk about it like it's the only choice when there better and/or equal less evil alternatives. I say this as I would expect more u

I've had three incidents with touch controls that would not have happened with physical controls. The fact is, it's much harder to keep your eyes on the road and be certain you've pressed a button when you have nothing to tou

While I agree in some areas, this is a safety topic imo and corporations are all about making profit for stakeholders period.

IMO, there is likely much more that we don't know that what we do know.

I wonder how much pollution was created by that exercise. When will we actually start to put a higher value on the planet when we make these decisions. The irony....

Nice. Personally, I want shoes that make walking harder so I burn more calories and get fitter as I walk.

Generations isnt even real. People change year on year little by little not once in 20 years. It's a gradual shift not some shift that happens new years eve one year.

Is this more of a US issue? I'm ex tradesman and know a lot of tradespeople in my part of the world and they're often some of the best off and fittest people I know. Being on your feet all day and moving around seems to be good fo

I have a question as someone who has only just started toying with gpt3 and chatgpt. Currently there is a lot of power with the big corporations to put their angle/slant/bias on search results. But in general, as a user you still

How much are chips in mobile devices currently? How much of a saving are we talking?

I wouldn't call Tesla's sexy, they may have tried to be designed to look sexy but ended being very boring looking IMO.

I'd like to add lack of tactile physical controls to the list. I've had three bad experiences in safety situations that would have been avoided with tactile physical controls. And since then, my opinion has changed to that of cert

As I mentioned, good music is out there. But finding it seems to be harder now as a lot of it doesn't make it into the charts and stays hidden except to those who know about it.

by pleb_nz 4y ago
Personally I like music regardless of when it was made. If it sounds good then I like it. Time has nothing to do with it. And I can't remember exactly what dates the studies focused on as there have been a few I've read. One was o

People probably have, but now it seems to be getting some backing by statistics. This isn't me just saying something random, it's something I've read about recently and had come out of studies of changes in music over the las

I tried this some years back with limited success. 1. Some apps were removed while some weren't 2. Some apps returned after updates. Now given up on windows.

by pleb_nz 4y ago
But I would hazard to say that the quality of well written likable music that will stand the test of time and keeps people interested has nose dived with the progression you outlined. Or at least, what is popular doesn't highlight the

Absolutely. Kagi, brave are two popular ones if the top of my head.

Reading through these comments I am surprised at how many people were/are still using LsstPass. I used it until they had an incident 5 or 7 years ago. And there face need others since. How many chances did an organization get with high

What does it taste like?

by pleb_nz 4y ago
Why does it have to be a competition. Shouldn't it be about being able to help and contribute. Too much focus on efficiency and not enough on well being of society as a whole. 80 year olds with a desire can still contribute. It doesn&#

by pleb_nz 4y ago
I might be reading it wrong, but I don't think that's what they're trying to say. You're right, people should be able to. But people should also be encouraged and helped if it's their desire to continue to grow. To

While a cool idea. Aren't most cruise ships and their parents companies behind the ball when it comes to environmental impact and they're responsibilities to be good to the planet? I hope they choose a company/liner that is n

Not sure if you mean talking literally, but imo offices a noisy enough now. I'd hate to work in an office full of people like me talking to an AI all day to get things done. I guess it would be like working in a call center. I'm g
