I've seen some pretty OK porn via the browser on the latest quest. Problem is there's not nearly enough of it, there are only specific studios that do half decent studio-grade first-person VR porn shoots. These actors have to wear

That's funny because airlines are now also straight up asking customers during checkout for donations to go toward some mysterious emission reduction expenses meanwhile C-suites aren't taking pay cuts. Why is this the customer&#x2

Right so what doordash did is a good thing. Now it's not weird to call it a tip. All jurisdictions should do what they need to do to ensure workers are compensated enough regardless of tipping

This reads like a boomer shitpost. Like something you see in the comments section of clickbait tabloid news sites like the guardian or dailymail, not necessarily here.

Above items seem to be neither, and it bothers me because it betrays the thesis by insinuating that a simple life can only be had after having a complicated one. True or not, one has to wonder if this too becomes another act of propaganda

Didn't this person's blog post make the front page of HN the other day? Why do they think it got "so little attention"? Said blog post and the resulting discussion is quite literally the only reason I know of Kagi's

If you consider all the other software you use daily that should also get $10/mo from you, it adds up to the point where we'd all have to start touching grass for most of the day while general purpose computation becomes more excl

1. Obviously Apple's market reach is wildly different-- they can still sell globally without requiring to scale indefinitely. 2. Hardware isn't their only product. Anyway, infinite growth is impossible , so the comparison to a lo

If apple didn't need constant growth it'd likely be totally fine selling devices with a 10+ year turnaround. I mean the shop on my corner has been the same for 15 years and it didn't die because of it.

This should come as a surprise to no one. Any platform returning a whole webpage with a prominent "download our app" button when you try loading a direct link to a .gif is clearly up to some major bs.

No offense, but you took amphetamine salts once or twice and are now suggesting someone take it as medication? I urge you and your partner to double check how worth-it the long term effects may be to you. In other words, make sure you real

I want to chime in and say that you are probably doing the right thing. I was diagnosed with ADD in high school and did the whole adderall and vyvanse thing. Back in the '00s. Those meds are crack lite: they will help you get work done
