We were in one of the South Asian country not too long ago (family of four). Bought 2 pairs of glasses each, everything you name it, is included. Cost? <$50 for all. It would have cost us at least $1000 in US. And you cannot tell we wear

Tangent about threads and Slack culture. I have noticed that there are people who either purposefully, or unconsciously, do not use threads. They litter the stream by making sentences instead of paragraphs. What I don't understand is h

As much as I was in awe of WaPo's tablet app (on Amazon's Fire), I despise their website on the public Internet ever since they have started the paywall flags. Neither NYT, nor WaPo are going to solve the world's publishing b

Solution is simple. The more money you have, the greater is your responsibility towards others (beings and nature). Taking things out by force (from anyone and anything) is never a solution, because everything is relative in this world, inc

As an OP, I'm engaged in this topic (you can look at my other comments on the primary thread). I'd provide a comment back to your comment here but two of your first sentences fall into the category of ... not providing any direct

How about an example of say, someone shows something new on HN, and the number of commenters providing alternate services, line up? I guess the 'shameless-plug' types are fine (because they provide value) but my point still would

All good points. But why 'less interesting' when comments are meant to be explicit to the OP? Wouldn't the fact that there are ample opportunities to post diverse topics through multiple individual posts, provides even more a

Thanks for sharing. Nice. I'm not a programmer but I have taken many courses all over the web (I think I only lack practice). This talk reminds me of the Edx course on functional programming using DrRacket. As the talk suggests about t

There is almost always a main idea to any given topic (it starts and ends by saying something specific). > And how do you even decide what's on topic and what's not? Good point. But in general, one can sense an overall picture

> I think this is a product of how humans think in general. Yes, that's exactly what I am questioning. Why does it have to be exactly the same when we are online, as opposed to being in person? A submitted article, opinion piece (or

My point is that a thread (topic) + comment mechanism provides a feature for humans to stay consistent at any given time. You have a submission box and you have a comment box. That's what I specifically mean by 'technology is desi

No it has not. An average person wouldn’t have time to tweak the unknown changes thrown by unknown developers at them for their kids viewing experience. Nobody should trust the YT for kids because their primary motivation is not kids safety

Have you investigated their rabbit hole for children? YT for Kids simply needs to die. They are evil.

I bet this is a typical story across the board in US. The "salesman (or woman)" are just that. They are barely trained as technician in this field. But they are trained to sell.

I tried this. They wouldn't take the return of empty frames. In any case, the cost was cheap enough to try. The frame quality is good enough for the price.

This is nothing compared to what they serve to kids. I long for the TV days when it was safe for kids to watch public TV or PBS. Google is single handedly responsible for fast evolving humans to a time when kids are no longer safe (and ther

You would have been down voted to hell for saying this here when Chrome came out. But I bet you know this already. Google did to Firefox what it did to Yahoo, Altavista, Excite etc. When you can sell ‘6 minutes Abs’ who would buy ‘7 minute

They should have taken over docker. Instead, they went old fashioned. Fine. But this probably doesn’t scare competition away (MS, AWS, Google).
