In general I agree with this, though it seems to be mostly about startup founders pivoting. I do take issue with this suggested exercise: > What bad things are you afraid of happening? Imagine in detail what it would be like if they happ

Probably frequency illusion. Looking at google trends, it peaked around the release of iOS 7, when Apple introduced a flat design. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=s...

I really hope all these games a preserved somewhere. There are big movements to preserve old console and PC games, but flash, and possibly to a bigger extent, mobile games seem more overlooked. I think there's a tendency to look back a

From the guidelines: Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work There are tons of examples, with links to the code, I think it's fairly informative.

Ah, yeah I see what you're saying. Twitter may not be the best example though. Users don't pay anything, but they've also failed to turn a profit.

They also have obvious downsides, so I don't think there's any harm in attempting to create alternatives.

This part is baffling. The story has always been that Logan has a young, impressionable audience. These are grown men with a bunch of disposable income, and they’re listening to the Logan Paul podcast and buying his crypto nonsense? Does no

Yeah it’s a terrible and misguided scene, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t require effort and talent.

I can see that, but it's a complex situation and I have counterpoints. - Young male angst has no shortage of outlets. Sports, both extreme and normal, tons of existing media, pirated media, blowing stuff up, etc. Taking away Steam acco

What would be the point in cutting regular Russian citizens off from video games? It may actually be a good way to communicate with them.

I’ve wondered if that was the case based on my experience. Every response is 80% too long, just like the real internet. Yay?

It all comes down to DRM. The media you get to download cannot work on it's own, so you're forever tied to the store that provided it to you. Otherwise you could just store it on your own. Meanwhile the pirates still always find t

I disagree. VR is cool, but just walking around with nothing to do is not that interesting now.

> Safari does support extensions on iOS They have to come from the app store, which greatly reduces the number of plugins available compared to FF, and subjects them to the same strict policies as their apps.

Seems like you're explaining exactly the intent of this account: Proving that putting free speech above all other values on an internet forum isn't always a good idea, even if it's legal. No one actually thinks this account i

I would say the taboo is gone in many places. Like podcasts or youtube, where the existing moderation controls hold no power. I wouldn't call it a great victory. It certainly reveals who has a shallow vocabulary and leans on the f-word

This is my major complaint about Spotify. All of their clients have problems, not just android. And then they're constantly tweaking them, usually not for the better. It's a music player, it doesn't need to be complicated, ju

Just checked from the US, the only thing I can see are some soundtracks or compilations he's been on. His actual discography is gone.

You could probably find a video or article and understand all this in a few minutes. You have four attempts (downs) to move the ball 10 yards or you lose possession. Nearly everything else makes sense with that context.

The post is about a new feature related to errors, the top comment is the same old complaint about verbose error handling, which is only tangentially related. I wouldn’t consider that quality discussion.

The conversation around Go on HN is as broken as a political discussion on Facebook. It’s pathetic.

Choosing the right database technology for your application has nothing to do with abstractions as far as I understand the term. Even if you're just going with the dictionary definition, that doesn't makes sense. An ORM is an abst

Agreed, they should probably include their definition of 'abstraction' in the post.

Ok, still, does that hold up in court? It’s just a technicality. Vidangel has tried a bunch of loopholes and they’ve all been closed.

Nah, OP was right, it is stupid. I like hard games, but if you’re not getting any enjoyment out of it just give it. There are a million other things to do.

Removing or lowing the volume of the song is definitely a modification.
