The "Compiling Javascript" loader takes way too long (at least on my system) to not give any indication as to how long I will wait or whether it's still doing anything. At least a "this might take up to X minutes". Demo itself ran halfway

They actually have an example for a regular blurred jpeg at the end. And yes, a camera shake may big difference to a regular blur, but then again, an actual regular blur (so an unfocused lens instead of a moving lens) is less often the prob

No, I think "seem" as a qualifier places it perfectly well into the realm of an opinion, with the implied agreement that it can be debated. You and the other comment mistake it for an absolute judgment, which would be problematic, but that'

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built around 2560–2540 BC, Cleopatra reigned from 51–30 BC. So - this statement will remain true for another ~446 years.

I don't really think wakemate ever had any actual business. They had an overhyped alpha phase that never really got to a beta. Then they sold that alpha and everything, from the almost laughable unit itself to the broken website interface t

So what you're saying is that MLM works the better it resembles an actual, honest business that does not rip off its employees. At the extreme end, MLM is pretty much exactly a pyramid scheme. Move, step by step, towards the way in which an

90% pretty certainly means they were selling them at a loss, but I would agree that it's probably not as huge a loss as a 90% discount would suggest. In the "enthusiast" branch of the market, I would guess that a margin of at least 50% shou

That rings very true. But it needs to be taken further: I would say that regardless of mood, it's still a worthwhile pursuit. Because to sometimes be unwilling to be one, whole, person is essential to finding who you are, eventually. Once y

Just to clarify - I wasn't addressing you with the hellban call (I know you know, but, you know, other people). And to further agree - I think "well, what can I do, they're hot!" (or its buddy "hey, what do you know - they might like it!")

Makes me wonder whether HN could use a function to auto hell ban certain usernames (could be tough to find out which, but 'throwaway*' seems like a good start - I have yet to see one contribute value to a discussion).

Agreed. I sometimes wish slightly drunk people at cocktail parties would skip to the next paragraph. Or skip to the last paragraph before I decide whether I want to hear the ones in between.
