Wow, what? How is my favorite novel the top result on HN right now.

No no. The idea behind abolishing time zones is that everyone then lives on the same schedule. It's just that for some people the work day will be in the middle of the night, etc. Some longitudes would probably wind up more sparsely po

GTFO NYT lol it is well established that gameplay mechanics are not subject to copyright. The level of presumption and disrespect and ignorance about the culture is pretty par for the course for the goons running the NYT.

If comments are code, they should all be removed, because they do nothing, and dead code that does nothing should be removed.

A disgrace. I will never buy or even read these. None of us should.

I think you have to be very immature and foolish to want to be a leader (I get that in some cases you may feel it's your duty or you have no choice, but that's different from wanting it). Leadership is a huge burden.

Prob just a way to hire good Android devs away from Google or something. Can't believe anyone senior at MS ever really thought this was anything but a technical/PR exercise

It absolutely is. The typical SV investor is risking essentially nothing - a portion of their wealth that does not make a meaningful difference for their standard of living. And they are free to do whatever they like while they wait for the

I don't remember that one - must have been on a hiking trip. This one might turn out to be worse yet! Hopefully not.

I've never seen an outage this bad and I've been on Facebook since the oughts.

LOL @ the idea that the investors are the ones who take on the largest risks. Investors barely deserve 1x, never mind anything higher.

It's always been this bad. It just hasn't always been this visibly bad.

Why would you (or anyone) be working on a project that is not highly relevant to your ideals? That seems like it would be a huge waste of a very short window of opportunity.

It's funny when people on here get salty about posts roasting men given that there are probably like 3-4 people who qualify as real men on here

I mean an integrated social feed for just your couple dozen hand-picked fitness friends, and ability to see each other's stats etc.

Why is it better, if it's populated by people who don't take their supposed ideals at all seriously?

All good points, and also: Discord is not and will never be cool.

It's all so cliche and mundane and sordid and DULL

Heck yeah, this is awesome. Any chance of some kind of social features? I want to control my data, but I also do want to be able to share my fitness stats & journey with a specific self-selected group of people: friends, running club ma

No, I confuse nothing, you have Hollywood-induced brain rot :) The purpose of a movie is not to entertain. Or rather, that is one possible and valid and fine purpose, but it is certainly not the only such purpose. To believe that it is, THA

Heh. Yes and yes and in general I like to see the guts and be free to easily fiddle with them. The Mac way is the software equivalent of how you can't open their hardware easily, which I also loathe. To me a love of Apple is one of the

Watching Rocky run up the stairs every day might well be boring for long stretches, especially to people not used to looking closely and patiently at the world, but that's fine. It would elevate the movie into something fundamentally b

Well, a man's gotta earn a living somehow. I'm sure he never made much from his books - they were too good.

I'm 100% certain Wilhelm Kempff still found playing the piano difficult after 41 years in the industry. Because he cared about doing it well.
