Maybe you think everyone tries to look smart by pretending to read lots of books, but most smart people read books just because they want to learn. If you don't understand this I guess it can't be helped.

I can't think of a reason why the richest and one of the smartest men in the world would go through all that trouble just for petty "image management" (he has nothing to prove to you in terms of intellect, we all know already

Is there a feature to upload to s3 buckets from local? That would be cool.

One thing that kept coming to my mind while watching the video: "Why the hell does this guy try so hard to balance himself on that huge thing?" Hoverboards in back to the future are are small like skateboards so that's why th

Yeah, like another guy said below, who said they get "nothing" but experience? Also you seem to think "experience" is not worth much (maybe because you lack experience of getting experience?), but if you ask me, I would

Did you even read the article? People who don't want risk can go to Google and make tons of money. There's nothing wrong with it. This guy is saying if you're working for a startup you shouldn't do it for the money since

Would you say that about angel list too? I'm as much annoyed as you about their opaqueness and it would be nice if they were more transparent but it is what it is. It's your responsibility as an entrepreneur to make sure you don&#

I am pretty sure you can resubmit to PH when you have a new version, especially if you had a great run with your first version.

Just a simple google search will show you tons of articles and blog posts giving you more than enough tips really. People complaining about this just shows that they didn't do their homework before submitting.

The problem with these criticism is that they seem to be coming from people who have no idea how Product Hunt works. If you have ever actually had your product featured on PH you would know better than this. Here's how Product Hunt wor

Can you give a transparent answer to this scenario?: Let's say I posted a "Show HN". I would email my friends who are HN users, telling them "hey guys i posted something on hacker news, please go to the front page, find

Yes theoretically it shouldn't work, but I see it work everyday, you just need to email your friends and tell them not to visit the direct link but go to the front page and find your post and upvote. But anyway my point was exactly thi

In my experience, the OP is correct about one thing, it's waste of time to post on upcoming on PH. However this is nothing compared to how opaque Hacker News is. If your product is novel enough and reach out to these "insiders&quo

I would argue this was on the wrong track the moment it started out with QR code. "Why don't we bring two geekiest technologies--QR code and Augmented Reality--together? Sure! That will make it mainstream!"

by volaski 11y ago
I think you're assuming a lot of things about mainstream users. If AR was that intuitive, it would have already been mainstream. Many apps tried to port existing good old text based interface into AR but none have yet to gain traction.

What new possibility does this bring to the table? Connected devices concept has been around like forever. Sure it looks cool (like flying cars, or those impractical UIs from minority report) but how does this make things more convenient? I

Someone please enlighten me, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get why this augmented reality interface is better than having a centralized web page where I can manage them using the good old textual interface. It feels lik

I didn't remove FF because of it either, but these things pile up slowly--makes me think WTF were they thinking?--and if I see several more of these I will probably stop using it. As I mentioned in another thread somewhere, I agree a l

I realize this conversation is going nowhere since you decide to interpret things in ways that fit your argument just to fight, which is why I said you're just word-playing. I will go ahead and answer but you will probably disagree any

What's not true at all? When you say something is not true at all, you need to specify what exactly you are referring to. I mentioned several points in my comment. "Extension" is something that you extend your browser with an

If you ran a survey to every firefox user asking "Would you prefer this Pocket bookmarklet show up by default or not", I'm sure this wouldn't have been a "vocal minority" group. Most people (in terms of ratio)

"Pushed hard", since the feature made it all the way to production versions which rolled out to every firefox user. This is a significant business decision which can change people's perception towards Mozilla. It definitely d

Even before getting to security issues, why would anyone prefer typing in emoji instead of numbers? I can imagine people struggling to find some random emoji from the keyboard before the notification banner disappears. (Normally I don'

Please don't try to use wordplay to get your feminist ideology across. Nobody calls a girl "Him" in real life, just like nobody calls a guy "Her" in real life. That's what I pointed out, not some interpretation

by volaski 11y ago
There are certain cases where it feels very ridiculous. For example, some authors use "her" to refer to even a group of people generally known to be predominantly male oriented. While it definitely won't be criticized by any

Tell me, where did I say that? This behavior of yours (putting words in people's mouth and accusing or insinuating them of sexism/racism/elitism etc.) is exactly why this stupid "singular they" phenomenon has arisen

You see it in notifications from social apps. "Jenny has started following you. Follow them back", etc. Because a lot of apps don't ask people to enter their gender they just resort to "them" instead of "him&qu
