I feel you. Once again I'm finding HN's culture very reminiscent of the "techbro" epidemic that we are only pretending to be against. Can people here just not imagine what it would…

> I really think the most important part of maintaining the success of a social network is being "cool", or rather, being the social network that cool people use. Facebook hasn't b…

But this was true when Steam decided to start accepting bitcoin. There has to be some kind of profit motive behind making this decision at this point in time. I could only guess th…

There are people who would slap you in the face for talking about their work like that. You're completely ignoring the immense R&D costs that go into creating innovative, original …

Replace "low status" with "insecure" as many high-status men have proven otherwise

The poor guy is simply unaware he is a misogynist.

Sexism isn't real. Men actually have it twice as hard as women, because companies hire women just to make them look good. Here's a link to one source that proves this forever. Norw…

white people are a protected minority group in the eyes of facebook/twitter

Smart idea. I get a similar effect when I logout of sites like Twitter and have to face a login page when I revisit. It breaks me from my unconscious loop and lets me decide that t…

Animated gif puzzle game (iOS). https://github.com/danielhhooper/Gifsaw very short video: https://i.imgur.com/4zDAQe7.mp4 Was hoping to publish this app but could not find an appro…

Facebook owns Instagram so they win either way

It's simpler (cheaper)

It should be enough to raise a flag for someone at Apple to thoroughly review the app before approving it for release. Not to mention that software worth $5,000/yr isn't often, if …

I believe there's some in coffee mate (a non-dairy creamer)

> I'm not a minority, but I think you should be asking this question to everyone, not just minorities. Everyone deserves a non-toxic environment and it's an issue everyone has to d…

"a $1,500 USD bike that can be connected to smartphones via bluetooth and track rider statistics, such as route and speed, in real-time." So it's a bike with built in GPS? That con…

More like "tell everybody the dinner's getting cold" and Alexa will figure out what room they're in ;)

None of those dozen other car companies were able to make an electric vehicle that people actually cared about.

Am I being cynical or is this just an ad? Every other person is cancelling their subscription to NYT from a piece that went up yesterday, and now this shows up on the front page of…

I've kept my account because I joined a local music gear buy and sell group, and the experience blows craigslist and kijiji out the water.

Maybe once a month along with the rest of the job related ask hn's

Modularity is a fast horse. The current state of external GPUs is like phone blocks, and I'm waiting for the iPhone. A gpu enclosure with power costs about $300 USD. An Nvidia 1060…

This doesn't seem to be a popular idea but I think it makes a lot of sense. The issue with the idea is that you're now halfway there to an all-in-one, and I think manufacturers wil…

There is a missing product in the market right now. These high-end GPUs are all designed to fit into decade old computer cases. The pcb and chips are tiny and thin, you should be a…
