When I heard that story, I couldn't help but thing of Steve Jobs "Real Artists Ship." The device was good but the inventor was a perfectionist instead of an entrepreneur.

The difference is the quantity. Meta has already had a face logging feature in its glasses https://www.wired.com/story/meta-smart-glasses-face-recognit... So it'd be less likely th…

If someone signs in and gives up their privacy, I don't care. Where I do care is when someone with their pervert glasses captures an image of me at my kid's little league game and …

Probably different concerns. If you had a home video and I was in the background I wouldn't care. The odds of anyone recognizing me would be low. If you upload it to anyone using m…

I spun up an extension to open links in incognito, something that wasn't possible with the native desktop webpage that would always refer you back to a linkedin link to redirect.

My biggest question is why isn't there something better than Linked In? I get the network effect but Linked in is crap.

Yes there are companies such as Streak. It's possible to pay back early funders so it's a win-win.

Are there any other incredibily generous offerings out there for computer resources? What are the best things that I'm not using?

I give it a 51% chance of Discovery Loop being acquired by Google

Maybe we can get the USA to get the metric system for all those men who are 1.83 meters and below. Or do people internationally say that you need to be 1,8 meters to be dateable?

Regarding Iraq, please Google “Dick Cheney 1994” he predicted exactly what happened in 2003.

If you don’t have an objective, no amount of military might is going to get you there. This was the USA’s biggest mistake in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran.

In order to be invited on TV you must be entertaining first. You don't have to be correct in order to appear more times. Personally I'm of the mindset that the current AI prices ar…

If people misuse or don't understand a tool, that doesn't invalidate the usefulness of the tool.

I'm not disappointed in the article, there are many of them out there. I'm disappointed that this is near the top of HN. I lazily outsource my information hunter and gathering to H…

If you're using an LLM and not an agentic workflow then you're doing things wrong in 2026. My agents have to pass tests meaning that if their LLM hallucinates, the agent tools capt…

Yes, eminent domain is there. In the case you linked to, it started in 1998 and took until 2005 for the Supreme Court. Sure new cases may happen faster, but it still takes year wit…

I'm not saying that the economy or markets are everything; however, if you don't have dissidents you don't as much friction. If China wants to move your mother's grave for a factor…

Personally I think 3D sports for Apple TV would be a game changer. I used 3D glasses + special TV in 2010 to watch the world cup and it was awesome.
