Yup. Why is this even posted on HN? Seems really low brow, honestly. I see this as the exact sort of click bait, anger inducing content a lot of people here want to avoid. Why do we trust the poll if it doesn’t publish the survey contents a

Unrelated to this comment, thread or OP in any way, you mentioned to me the concept of Complexity Catastrophe ~4 months ago from the book Design Rules by Baldwin and Clark. I’ve finally gotten around to reading it and I feel compelled to th

Is there a test going on? What you are saying used to work, but I get a different form. The one I get looks like: [email] [username] [password] And you can’t click submit without an email.

It’s because there are huge tax incentives for “under preforming” real estate investors. It’s honestly maddening. You literally get to deduct everything short of your desired “market” rent (even if the market can’t bear it, you just need a

I mean, I tend to give all of my friends a hard time about sweets and sugary drinks, and expect the same. Most everyone I know understands that it’s best to avoid sugar, but it is both truly ubiquitous and extremely addictive so it’s essent

I like this, I even wish it had a name because I have observed it frequently, but upon some reflection it really only seems to be the product of certain organized situations and perhaps even just an artifact of our own pattern recognition.

Yes, the pulse selection is the most useful part of the implementation, and makes me not want to upgrade to iOS 13 on my iPhone X based on feature degradation alone. I use 3D Touch all the time and have for years now. I don’t understand the

It’s not the sense of direction or ability to find our way that I was referencing, but simply that we are large, bipedal, ground dwelling animals. Picking through the brush is much faster for a Fox. Inclines that would have to be carefully

Walking a trail isn’t the same as walking cross country. Humans aren’t very good at off trail navigation.

Thanks, this makes much more sense. Typically we’ve used the market as a judge/pre-judge, but low inspiration me-too content in an opaque marketplace seems to disrupt this model significantly. It seems to me the value, especially for

I don’t understand your argument at all. Is 900k/year to curate a store that’s on almost all of their products (or even one) supposed to be a lot for Apple? Seems like a rounding error to me. Not too mention that the real benefit isn’t

Don’t force the verb form. “I’m worried about my kid at summer camp” “Don’t worry, I’m sure they are having a great time” Sounds very natural to my west coast ears.

Yeah, as someone from a rural background, it always strikes me as far-fetched that people are going to give up ownership of vehicles because of driverless tech. People routinely spend 10x what they need to on a car, living well outside thei

Yeah, I found out this evening that I have aphantasia, after a lifetime of thinking that counting sheep was a metaphor. My strong sense of spatial relations has adequately filled the gap in my life, apparently. I also don’t have an inner

If that is truly your goal, it is a noble one, but in that case baking the pathfinding into the roads seems like a bad design choice. People get lost driving in a convoluted city a lot even with GPS, but much less so in a regular blocked c

I love 3D Touch, it makes user interfaces better by far. I think calling it a bad technology is completely baseless. I know multiple people who won't upgrade their iPad until they get 3D Touch. Peeking/popping links in a browser i

>well, maybe it is their fault, but it's not a bad thing I'd argue that having a single entity have such power over something so critical as being bad by nature. Concentrated power is the root of evil.

I understand that. But at the same time I know plenty of people who live in SF who would love to move to a more rural area, but they or their spouse can't find work in their field outside of metro areas and SF is close to their rural r

I have been to old town centers in Europe, you really ought to tone down your elitism. What I meant when I said "tractor drivers getting to work" is people like my friend who grades and compacts pads for new homes. He drives a 4x4
