You know it's funny though because I stopped using Uber with the most recent update that completely screwed up the UX. There's a billion variables that will go into which companies succeed and fail.

Seems a little premature to require this as we don't necessarily know that this would help.

Honestly the Pebble is perfect because it's so stripped down. It does exactly what I want it to do which is show me notifications, the time, track my sleep, let me set timers and press next in spotify without pulling my phone out of m

As someone who quite likes their time steel and who was patiently waiting for their time 2 this is incredibly frustrating. No other watches do what I want so I guess my foray into smart watches is over. It's a shame too because I appr

Right but then I'm changing standard keyboard layout so as soon as I go to another computer muscle memory is screwed. Honestly would it really kill them to have a top spec MBP without the touchbar? I mean would it really kill them to

I just realized how big a deal a stable super heavy element would actually be. I mean is it crazy to think that if such an element were synthesized and it was stable enough to amass like a gram of it you could be looking at the largest sin

Even as an engineer I needed a loan for relocation from my parents. My job paid to relocate me but it was just a reimbursement and I didn't have the money for a cross-country move up front.

Yeah this statement doesn't seem very far off from "100% of children receive financial aid from their parent or guardian." I too am impressed that as much as 25% don't get anything at all (I guess the definition of finan

No totalitarianism tends to happen when you have a state run media apparatus which is run by a media mogul with a position close to a demagogue leader who has floated the idea of not giving press credentials to other media organizations. S

So now you want to force businesses to associate with businesses they don't want to associate with and you're calling them totalitarian?

Yeah until I really see some practical applications written in Eve I don't think I'm ever going to really get it. It's nothing against Eve, it might be great, but nothing I've seen about it so far as really captured my

Yesterday I was working from home and trying to compile our codebase was taking an excessive amount of time. Still have a spinner in my home computer so I heard it working really hard even after I stopped the compile and noticed spotify sl

Not even mentioning the existential crisis we face knowing that Donald J. Trump, a man who has stated the most important thing in life is to get even, has his finger on the nuclear button and there's nothing any of us can do to stop hi

Has Chipotle's customer perception been hurt that much? I know personally the threat of E. coli infection, while certainly higher than it should have been, was not really that much worse and I certainly didn't stop going to Chipo

To some extent it depends on the game. First person shooters can have super accurate AIs that are really frustrating to play against. Try beating the last "boss" in quake 3 on nightmare difficulty. A game like Starcraft relies m

I appreciate that someone else made this comment. I've always just listened to music I want to listen to. Any attempt to use "focus" music or whatever is just annoying. I know people don't like the cynicism but honest

Does this also preclude ISPs from not allowing you access to higher tiers of service without consenting to data collection? That is that in addition to requiring an opt-in they can't incentivize it at all by giving users who don'

I try not to buy too much into the Jobs hype because it falls into the same line of thinking that leads to the "Great Man" theory which I don't put much stock in. That said he did seem to have a way of understanding the whole

I'm sorry I'm replying 7 days after your post but I came back to this comment to check something and noticed you'd posted a reply. I say all this to say... One candidate has sexually assaulted women. One candidate has most

I know Google has gone the route of removing the steering wheel but it seems that even if vehicles have self-driving capabilities some level of "manual override" will be desirable especially if you're not in a densely populat

Seriously I feel like I'm taking crazy pills on HN the way people are apologizing for Trump in this thread. This is a man that has sexually assaulted women and actively campaigned on kicking out all the "others". Trump is no

When did sites become "emotional experiences"? I'm sorry I want to say something more constructive but I'm giggling too much at the absurdity of this statement.
