TL,DR: If PICO-8 is your highest priority, no preferable alternative exists anywhere near the RGB30's price point. The next best options are probably the TRIMUI Smart Pro or the Miyoo Mini v4, but both have serious shortcomings relativ

"Decent" feels like the correct word to describe the RGB30. To be clear, I'm ultimately glad I bought it, and it's germane to this discussion that the release of the RGB30 is what got me interested in PICO-8 in the first

One of my few genuine regrets is not attending St. John's College when I was fairly aggressively courted as a high school applicant. (I may nevertheless attend one day, and be the weird old guy reading the Great Books curriculum with m

I always wondered about whether that was meant to have any practical function. (Protective cushioning at the expense of board feel? Shoes stay on better while untied?) Now the pendulum has swung all the back in the other direction. All thes

This is actually a really interesting footnote in the history of Nike's evolution and expansion into different markets. They (as well as Adidas and the other big brands) had been trying like hell to entice skaters to wear Nikes with l

Hypebeasts trying desperately to get the hot new whatever and coming up empty handed, thereby increasing anticipation for the next drop, is a feature not a bug.

There have been numerous Supreme x Nike collaborations, starting (I believe) with this Nike SB Dunk in 2002: https://www.flightclub.com/nike-dunk-low-pro-sb-black-black-... which at the time were arguably the most sought af

Not that any of these "peek into the subculture" style articles ever get all the details just right but this: Then, in the spring of 2014, the company announced a collaboration with Nike on a basketball sneaker called the Foampos

Being a weird is far more dangerous than being a normal. We agree. Being gay is far more dangerous than being straight. Being Muslim in a majority Christian or Hindu society is far more dangerous than being a adherent of the prevailing reli

No one is beyond reproach. But it would be nice if those reproachments were saved for people's actual words and actions rather than a laundry list of prejudices and assumptions extrapolated from a single data point. It would be even ni

You're right, he could have continued with his work had he simply avoided ever giving anyone the impression he held any beliefs which varied from THE ORTHODOXY . But why should that have been required of him?

VR is impressive tech, but is Luckey a time traveler now? He went back to 2008, publicly supported and voted for Ron Paul to give himself plausible deniability for his future support of Trump? (EDIT: I'm leaving this error here, but Bo

Why do you presume that someone who made the public statement "I am a libertarian who has publicly supported Ron Paul and Gary Johnson in the past, and I plan on voting for Gary in this election as well" is a Trump supporter?

I mostly agree with you, but you're off by about an order of magnitude (±0.5) on Snap's revenue numbers. They did about $60 million in 2015, and were projecting 4x that for this year. Source: http://www.bloomberg.com&#x

I'm not a believer myself—not that I don't find Snapchat compelling, just not necessarily $18-35 billion compelling—but here's my best shot at a devil's advocate argument. Snapchat is the proverbial 'new MTV' t

It's also worth noting that regardless of which keyboard or combination of apps you're using on Android, it's not possible to send an animated GIF as an MMS attachment without dropping so many frames that the clip becomes ess

Just a few hours into the experiment several Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey userscripts were released that enabled auto-voting, among other features. The ability to mute users was also welcome, given how spammy the big rooms got.

When I went to sleep last night the group I was in had just grown from ~800 to ~1500 after a merge. In my absence it grew to ~2500 and then ~4400 before Reddit crashed and the room was abandoned.

Congratulations to Justin, and to Sam/YC for making a great choice. On a tangential but related note, does anyone recommend any good follows on Snapchat, particularly anyone discussing tech/entrepreneurship? (There are obviously t
