Just add some lo-fi rain samples and vinyl distortion on to and you can pass off your mistakes as "retro vibes"!

I have a Macbook as well as a Windows laptop. I honestly find Windows to be a smoother experience than OS X. Windows management and file management have always been better on Windows, but it is now also much faster than it used to be. A rec

Around the last recession, I had this distinct feeling: that this exuberance is a little too irrational. The press was constantly talking about how great the economy was, and people I knew around me were splurging on things they could in no

Your link itself says that it's not illegal, only that it is recommended that pedestrians don't walk in the middle of the road for their own safety.

The US is one of the most anti-pedestrian countries I've been to. Everywhere else I've been to, drivers are supposed to watch out for pedestrians crossing the road. In the US, they've managed to make it illegal!

I hated it at first. But the more I look at it, the more I like it. It's crazy and totally memeable, like a cross between Guy Fieri, Cosmo Kramer, and Jeff Goldblum. I bet they'll get a ton of sales from people buying it ironicall

HN has an anti humanities/social science bias that often rears its ugly head in discussions such as these.

It was never a thing in India or China. That's about 40% of the world's population. Fair to say that it wasn't a massive thing outside America. Compare the overseas gross of the recent Star Wars releases against a globally po

This is not a good looking vehicle. It reminds me of something from a dystopic sci-fi movie, and not in a good way. Too Bladerunner-ish

I doubt Valve decided on the protagonist recently. This has to have been years in the making

Star Wars was never a thing outside of America. Even today, fans in China, who otherwise love their CGI heavy sci-fi, don't care much for Star Wars. You really have to have been either a firsthand or secondhand part of that culture to

I get motion sickness easily. So that counts me out of the VR experience. And I reckon that's going to be true for a lot of other people as well. The price and inherent limitations (such as motion sickness) of VR are going to ensure th

My no. 1 recommendation to any young person learning to cook is to master three things: 1. A good fried rice 2. A good stir fry 3. A good omelet These three things alone will mean that you'll have substantial, delicious food at the rea

I find the non-romantic relationships to be far more interesting. Romanoff and Captain America, for instance. Male-female friendships on screen are rare, especially when both the man and woman are attractive and the woman fills the "te

The WeWork I work out of in Gurgaon, India, has the best coworking space I've ever used. They charge a big premium over other spaces but I'm happy to pay it. WeWork, I feel is a very viable business. Its obituaries are too prematu

The problem with Oyo, and its virtually most people who've used it (me included) will concur, is that the Oyo brand itself is tainted. Experiences are extremely inconsistent and the quality is all over the place. Hotels keep withdrawin

I agree with your fundamentals. But I don't believe Oyo's execution is right. Nor do I agree with this statement: > It's a worthwhile bet given the Indian consumers purchasing power/quality expectations are on the ris

On the content side, it isn't financially beneficial to invest in higher quality content or presentation. Most websites that aren't outsourcing their content to $10 writers on UpWork are already running on razor thin margins. Outs

Here in India, when I was young, the milkman would bring his cow with him and milk it right in front of you. Just to prove to his customers that the milk was unadulterated. Maybe its childhood nostalgia, but milk has never tasted as good ag

I work in content marketing so SEO is a big part of my work focus. Google's algorithm tends to classify queries as "evergreen" and otherwise. With the former, recency doesn't seem to matter that much. I've had conte
