If you want to find a group of people who will be consistently sympathetic of ethically dubious business and UI decisions, look no further than Hacker News. I come to the comments …

"How do you overcome it?" - don't. Lots of other good suggestions on here, but I have some commentary on this problem as well. I experience the same issue when trying to read with …

... so they really did took er jerbs?

"“Once a field commits to a particular hypothesis, the research resources — funding, experimental models, and training — all get in line,” she wrote in a 2018 analysis. That brings…

I would love to see the impact of acronyms on information density. It would also be interesting to see how many bits per second the average human maximum is.

I've written tens of thousands of lines of code, solved a plethora of complex problems, worked on a number of projects from requirements to production in an assortment of different…

There are many reasons to not use auto iso, in spite of the fact that modern sensors produce much less digital noise than they used to. If you're enlarging your images, or cropping…

Yeah, you're super wrong about this. Manual mode helps you control the consistency of photos during a session. I've met very few wedding photographers (who incidentally work almost…

I think this is a neat idea. I would love it if you made this into one of those scary image popping up and loud screaming audio pranks. Three and a half minutes in everyone would b…

Patience isn't about waiting for something to take a little bit of extra time. It's about working on something and being willing to wait for _years_ if necessary to see it happen. …

There seems to be a high correlation between outages and security breaches. My guess is that at some point in the future there the consequences of these shutdowns will come to ligh…

Oh thank God, I'll have another company to not buy products from! Seriously though, I think his vision may have overstayed it's welcome at apple.

Sure this is a neat toy, but where are they going to get data on _everyone's_ heart signatures to make this practical. That's not going to be eas... Looks at Apple watch.. looks at…

Not to mention studies showing that hand dryers, with the Dyson models leading the pack, do an excellent job of distributing bacteria over a large area.

That's fair, my point is that in many cases (a rapidly growing number of cases), the entire site is JS. If you need to service, then you have to accept the tracking.

Aside from the obvious usability benefits, this kind of thing makes it abundantly clear why much of the web has gone to javascript dependent SPAs. If you need JS to run the site, t…

The downvotes are disappointing. If you don't have think it would be fun, just don't upvote maybe?

I've wanted something like the Remarkable for years, but the cost is still way too high. The rocketbook has been a decent interim solution, but there is always the issue that I can…

rocketbook is an amazing tool.

It would be amazing if they gave this an online battle royale mode.

The guy answered a question about market share like a 4 year old answers "how much do you like tacos?". The CEO had to take a risk on this guy, had to put him in a position to beco…

Sorry, but we have _definitely_ reached that point. Granted I'm extremely cynical, but stories like this are outliers and not the norm. And not simply because of the scale of the s…

How unethical would it be to take is idea and simply compensate him for it in some small way. A promotion, a bonus, some small percent of the proceeds. My point here, and it was ob…
