Having tried to use the original Meta, and never quite managing to get my hands on the second version. It was unapproachable for developers as well. One of the really annoying habits of all of these companies in both VR and AR is they want

I am incredibly close to getting rid of my twitter account. Already most of my meaningful interactions have moved to private group chats on Slack (etc).

Etsy does take their identity verification for sellers fairly seriously, though it's hard to combat if you have a workforce of people whose ID you can use.

I didn't realize I could potentially get free karma by saying Donald Trump is a legend. Good to know.

It's a well-reasoned respectful comment though. It has been the HN way that downvoting is really to punish overtly bad comments and a lack of upvoting boring comments.

Not disagreeing with you, but there is a real difference between say the way Bangkok and Munich are treating it (I have recently been in Bangkok, now in Munich). In Bangkok 90%+ of people are walking around with masks (a combination of P2&#

Definitely a lot of rage about this on twitter at the moment. Early customers feeling betrayed. https://twitter.com/therealfitz/status/1219656757242474496

You read false claims then. The original statistic was 'police-related actions'[0]. This includes things like cautions or fines for throwing a cigarette on the ground (and many other things). 24 people have been arrested for arson

This is a problem not just in profanity filters but also on marketplaces like Etsy. Heaven forbid anyone named Harry Potter wanting to sell on Etsy. They would more likely than not find themselves banned with little recourse. In this case f

I made a friend in the accounts department when we had to reconcile our credit cards. He was manually copying and pasting stuff into excel for reports for his boss. Needless to say I whipped up some easy to use scripts that did the job for

As a digital nomad I have come to realise that tourist experiences tend to be very inauthentic for a number of other reasons as well. Cities like Prague and Budapest make for great photos, but if you go just 20 minutes in any direction life

There is a theme park just outside Da Nang, in Vietnam called Ba Na Hills[1]. The park is done up just like a European village. It's complete with a Gothic cathedral and a German beer hall, and is surreal to walk around. Oddly, it&#x27

I can see why small clients want to look like everyone else. Or I would guess look the same as bigger brands. It looks professional. They don't want to stand out in a bad way, so it's safest to go with the already established.

It looks very cool. I like the "free with attribution" to "premium" model you're using. As an aside, I really don't understand the other people in this thread linking to competitors. It feels a bit rude on a Sh

Every so often you hear a story about a recording that was presumed lost but has been found on someones VHS collection[1]. Then there are examples like Marion Stokes[2] who recorded 71000 tapes over 30 years. Fast forward to today (ha ha),

As someone who has been a tourist in London multiple times, I've never done anything other than catch public transport in and out. Be it Heathrow or the other airports, they're all very accessible by public transport. More so than

I've been a long time user of ZFS on linux. It's got some superb features, but a lot of them are heavily aimed at servers with lots of ram and even the ability to setup SSD scratch disks for caching. Not saying that you can't

I think it's just done by voting, anyone could submit an alternative link, but it would need X upvotes to be promoted to the primary link. I can see how this might not work so well with contentious stories, but when it's just link

Android phones can be incredibly cheap (circa $100). In addition there is nothing stopping them for trading their iPhone for a more expensive Android. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a likely outcome.

I've found the richer people are the less they understand the need for the timely supply of money. I have extended family that have this problem with their supply of trades. Very keen to get the work done, but paying the bill is someho

I went through a few years of unstable income in my early twenties (circa 2000), it wasn't altogether bad, just very very sporadic. When I think back on those years I had all kinds of bad behaviours that were not rational. For example,

At OC1 (possibly OC2, my memory is a bit vague) they handed out copies Ernest Clines' book Ready Player One. It was pretty clear this was the direction they were going to head, even if they seem to be blissfully unaware that they'
