Didn't we just have this on here? There was a Twitter thread where Philips tried to make excuses and sell this as a benefit. Embarrassing. Yeah, two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37594377 Meanwhile, re

The Atari computers (except the 400) had S-video from the very beginning, and the JVC-made Commodore 1702 is a great match for them because it has separate luma & chroma inputs. Interestingly, LaserDisc players, the best consumer video

I was responding to the OP's willingness to pay extra for DoorDash. I agree with your complaint. Of course some infantile shut-in or DoorDash shill downmodded my straightforward observation. Every day this site descends into Redditude.

Apple is a scummy, back-stabbing business "partner." Everyone from small-time developers to publicly-traded companies gets screwed by Apple burying their apps (or simply not showing them at all) in searches that spell the publishe

I wonder if these assholes (Meta, Google) could be prosecuted under a Net Neutrality law for blocking particular sites.

It's bad enough that loads upon loads of sites require people to use their E-mail address as a user ID. What a stupid policy, one that embarrasses many companies that should know better (YES, THIS MEANS APPLE). When you force people to

Their entire service IS delivery, so WTF is the "service" fee? It's still an insulting rip-off.

It's not about the price YOU, the customer pay. It's about the scumbaggery that these lowlives perpetrate on restaurant owners. The best one is how they impersonate the restaurants online, hijacking their online presence and setti

Amen. BUT, be aware that the delivery assholes often hijack restaurants' online presence and put up fake phone numbers that go to the middleman, not the restaurant.

"If you can only operate out of airports (without vtol), the useful range of the airplane will be significantly reduced" Why do you say that? That's backward. VTOL consumes a huge amount of energy, far more than a traditional

I would trust motors over an engine any day. Look at the contraption that is an ICE: You have fuel-, oil-, and air-delivery systems... you have ignition systems... you have mechanical parts violently changing directions thousands of times p

STOP CALLING THIS A JET. It is NOT a jet. I'm fully supportive of these innovators, but lying about what the product is hurts EVERYBODY. Grow up.

On a side note: Why are there almost no VIEWERS for Markdown? Every project has a readme.md, which everyone ends up reading in a text viewer with all the formatting markers all over the place. WTF?

It’s not that different, but yes: I find that starting with a data model gets you a long way, forcing you to answer most of the important questions.

Or just down-mod fact-based rebuttals and slink off, weasel-like.

First of all, I never said American values are superior. So you've started your homily on a false premise. Furthermore, most of your gripes SUPPORT my point, except of course for the tired catch-alls of "slavery" and "ra

At a time when traditional American values are more desperately needed than ever around the world, they are dying right here in the USA.

Thanks for the reply and that link. That article is replete with pretty bogus assertions, even for its time. Print is not all that informative for interactive presentations, aside from general principles of good layout with whitespace and a

And yet the (defectively) giant trackpads don't support the Apple Pencil, which would have been great.

I'm going to write one about the idiocy of the "flat" design fad. I wonder how people of 1900 would have felt about having to experimentally poke at things that looked like plain labels or placards, or decorative swatches of

That's what I'd imagine too, but thinking it through... the keyboard on this thing is super lame. The lack of a Delete key alone would piss me off if trying to do any real writing. I don't see a "travel" use case th

Yeah, all of that is too late. The ID verification has to take place at INTERVIEW time, not later.
