One is reminded of Damien Hirst's famed retort to a critic who said "Well I could have pickled a shark" ... "But you didn't, did you. I did."

Stefan Sagmeister talks about taking 5 years of your retirement and interspersing them into your working years in this great talk, pertinent moments at 01:30-02:00: https://youtu.be/MNuOmTQdFjA?t=79&is=0GYzcLwy9fhQWqHR

Ha, have also slept outside Biarritz station whilst interrailing. Must be the sea breeze.

Wow that's a fantastic deal. I seem to remember it was about £280 in the 90s for standard class, 30 day unlimited.

Thanks, great to know. I hear you on at least knowing where you might sleep. Age 18-23 even this isn't that critical, when 'beach' or 'park' are viable answers.

The best part of interailling for me was turning up to a major train station, looking at the giant departure board, choosing an enigmatic destination and just getting on the train. No booking or reservations or even planning at any point. I

This is absolutely needed for media companies in London, some of whom may pay freelancers many months after invoicing and only if the freelancer repeatedly reminds them and escalates towards legal threats. When I ran such a company we made

They should give the data to people who ask, which will be a snapshot in time presented in a spreadsheet. Then what you are paying for is the interface that shows you who clicked yesterday with a thumbnail and a link to their profile, and w

So you don't want to be accountable to users, or to bureaucrats? If you had to choose one who would it be?

Your question ramp makes sense to me except in two ways: 1. why this "destroy lives in seconds?" question? 2. where do you see sugar sitting here?
13.
by jmkd 5mo ago
Okay sounds like we agree that sugar and junk food should be on the wrong side of the line, but turns out those industries have very little stigma. Who is standing outside the school gates protesting against big cola? My point is it's

There are plenty of other products that literally ruin people's lives: alcohol, tobacco, sugar, pharmaceuticals, credit cards, firearms, timeshares, junk food. Society has them all on very different parts of a stigma spectrum. Honest q

Search for the MinaLima edition of the Wizard of Oz, it's absolutely stunning.

Wow. Downvoted for factual clarification and helpful citation. No idea what drives such people, but must logically assume deception and obfuscation.

Both are featured in the video and both have credits visible through the microscope.

by jmkd 6mo ago
Watch the video if you believe it's worth being clear. The credits are perfectly visible on both the LaserDisc AND the CED. Approx 22:00-24:00 is the laser disc and 25:00 onwards is the CED. Enjoy.

Not simply repeating patterns, readable text from the credits as shown in the video.

It says its tailored for beginners, but I don't know what kind of beginner can parse multiple paragraphs like this: "How wrong was the prediction? We need a single number that captures "the model thought the correct answer wa

You claim to cite 'technologies' but include a few brands and companies for some reason. The one you keep citing, here and in the article, Quibi , lives on in technology-form (the spirit of your article we must presume) as an 8

Glad to see this here, Balearic slinging has a rich and impactful history. But sadly this is not much appreciated today on the islands. The Federation hosts open days where only a handful of people show up. Top slingers from the islands are

I think you mean complaining about metrication 50 years later :-) The counterpoint is that without the metric system how could we make snarky comments on US-based woodworking videos?

Thanks. It's very easy to miss, as I did.

The central idea that we all have the same tools which now represent an infrastructure baseline, therefore we need to look harder to establish our moats (not just in knowing things although that's one) is sound and well put. Thanks.

Nice, except, first game I clicked is now only pay-to-play on major platforms. I'm not against that, but it doesn't feel like a Show HN game anymore which I kind of expect to be a little rough and ready and certainly free to play.
