I agree, but it's conditioned on the fact that in the UK netflix never had good movies, it was all about it's TV box sets rather than movies from the start here. Netflix UK doesn't push movies, I'd be surprised if it had

They could use the colours to indicate walking vs standing preference but instead chose to indicate gender for seemingly no reason. There should be three classes: 1. Wants to stand 2. Wants to walk 3. Wants to stand but will walk if lack of

Yup, hn has a rule about original headlines except where inconvenient. In this case though they slipped up, "might just make you better" means "likely to make you better" and the "just" no longer conveys "

This misses the point. It's about the unit test. jQuery is easy to develop with but difficult to unit test. React is slow to develop with but easier to unit test. For small projects, jQuery is better. For large projects where the all t

I wonder if the test is adaptive, did it hone-in to differentiate preferences or present the same scenario set to everyone? It felt like it was honing in on my preference at the end, but I'm not sure.

ASA are reactive not proactive, it takes complaints for an investigation to be triggered. Their standard punishment is "don't show the advert again in this form", this isn't a scary prospect for Hello Games.

I didn't say all skeuomorphism is bad, I said that gauges are an example of bad skeuomorphism. Buttons are an example of good skeuomorphism.

Given that RAW can have 32 bits per channel and PNG only 16 bits per channel, it must be possible* to construct two different RAW files which render to the same PNG. *Possible in the mathematical sense, it may not be practical.
