Just FYI, but no one outside the tech scene knows about Google's reputation for dropping support of their products or their eroded reputation in regards to do no evil. I have tried talking to people about it and they really just don&#x

I disagree. The natural business model will be a mix between subscription services and free to play games with micro transactions. Microsoft (and others like EA) is already moving in that direction with game pass (monthly subscription gets

Even a short novel is fine. Outside of the points you listed, I think shorter is better for potential readers as well. I am a pretty avid reader and would never pick up a novel by a first time published author that is 800+ pages; the time (

Yeah, that's kind of weird. I think they said that to reinforce that this will be the exact same game. Thats great, but not providing the port team the source just sounds like they are trying both arms behind their back.

Sounds like I might not be a good judge of quality frames then! Might have to give Zenni a shot next time I need a new pair.

I've heard people dump on Warby Parker for being cheaply made, but honestly their stuff doesn't seem any worse then what my insurance covered at my optometrist. Also as a side note, my first pair from Warby Parker had the lenses g

While some parts might (I am do not work for FAA so I do not know), ATCs are not covered. This article [1] covers it better then I will. I will only add that I do have multiple friends who are ATCs who are currently planning to not get thei

I hate the TSA, but this shutdown affects things like ATCs who actually provide value for air transportation or you know, many of the other government agencies hit by this shutdown.

I think they are asking to stop being prodded with baby ads altogether, not to be shown ads for loss support hotlines.

The counter argument would be police departments rarely buy this equipment - it's given to them as part of a program between the Pentagon and law enforcement. They get the vehicles (and lots of other military grade equipment) for a hug

I have found the HN crowed has a rosey view on trade jobs that doesn't seem to reflect reality. Family members of mine are employed primarily by trades (lots of plumbers, some carpenters and electrician's) and a lot of what you sa

The obvious benefit is not need a specific cable just for my iPhone. I am slowly getting more USB C cables over the last year - it would be nice if I could replace all my lightning cables, which are only used for my iPhone and iPad. It&#x27

Nintendo has historically terrible controllers which started with the N64 controller. That didn't end until the pro controller for the Wii U/Switch. Even the switch joycons, which I think are incredibly impressive with how much te

I agree there is an unwarranted stigma against blue collar jobs, but I think HN romanticizes the professions as well. I have multiple people in my family who work as plumbers and carpenters and it's not as simple as you make it out. Wh

Could you provide a few example questions you would do? Just curious what medium difficulty questions look like to you.

A lot of what you say is true, while also casually ignoring the many downsides to being in the military (such as being in situations where you are forced to kill or be killed). I have a lot of respect for the military, and part of that come

I am assuming the downvotes are for you lack of distinction between two. Eavesdropping and spying, even amongst allies, is basically an open secret or just an activity everyone assumes the other is doing. Actively influencing an election is

If you are putting each individual work term as an item, make sure to note the co-op program. I did something similar and it was never seen as a negative.

You say that as if it changes it from days to weeks makes the situation better. The person you are responding to is correct in that the red line has a reputation that is well justified.

I made the switch from Android (always used Samsung or Nexus devices) to iOS two years ago. My two issues with iOS: - Siri is absolute trash. I've given up on using it for text messages. Even when just using it for timers it fucks up.

I think you keep overlooking the path taken to get to the point of making those six figures. I would love if someone in the industry could shed some light here. I have two friends early in an ATC career and it sounded like getting to where

It's requesting that you remember that a human life was just lost, and to not reduce this woman's life to a rounding error. The only strange thing in this thread is the emotional detachment many are showing and one could probably

Excellent point about how they are judged in hindsight. It's funny seeing Civ V so praised, because it was a decisive game when it was released. The AI bugs you mentioned were occasionally annoying, but overall I loved V - the combat c

I also use it daily and loathe Siri. I went from Android to iOS with the 7 and Siri is my only regret. For every timer I set Siri gets about 1/6th wrong and for every text I try to send (short messages like 'on my way home')

Yeah this is bullshit. Trolls have always existed, but shrugging them off was never a solution. In message boards I used to frequent trolls were suspended without question and banned for repeat offenses. Now when trolls get banned there is

A story that is expressly written to hook you for ads is obvious both in how it's written and it's quality (hint: usually bad). There is a lot of trash written just to hook eyeballs so I understand your sentiment, but it's ve

Went to a concert this summer where the woman in front of me was taking pictures/videos and posting them during the concert to Facebook. It was a blacked out arena and she had the brightness near full. Saying it was distracting is an u
