It's a very good store of value/gold analog and a not so great currency. That's fine though - if you have something that holds value you can move it into whatever currency exists w…

Plus rewarding early miners creative the incentive structure more likely to drive adoption.

+1 - this is a childish move and bad business imo. I'd guess the author is pretty young.

I still use it, I just started traveling way more so lounge access was nice. Then once I had the travel cards I started using them to see if I could optimize their perks.

The Apple Card is a great credit card for people that aren't optimizing points for travel (most regular people). The software is solid and Apple prevents them from reselling your d…

This is great, thanks!

The tech for this will obviously get better (is the example shown even recent?). The complaints in the Twitter thread are ridiculous imo. Disney is right to be experimenting with t…

Yeah I think it’s the same thing

If you haven’t seen the Get Back Beatles documentary that came out during Covid it’s definitely worth a watch. It’s very long (3 parts, 9 hours?) but it’s the best type of document…

This explains why the random text that appears in the images often says things like “ethnically ambiguous”

My counter argument would be that a lot of the world’s best people move to hubs anyway to intentionally be around other great people. So being located in the Bay Area gets you the …

I'll concede this point - it is primarily about communication. In theory you can resolve this (I'm at a remote company now and think gathertown is a great tool for this), but the l…

This is a classic HN post that will get a lot of positive attention here playing into the HN cognitive bias zeitgeist, but I think is mostly bullshit. The market will settle it in …

I doubt it’s common - almost certainly most users don’t think of it or even know what an engine is. I just notice it - if I see something is unity I’m less likely to give it a try …

+1 - I actively avoid games using the unity engine in favor of ones using unreal. It’s a noticeably worse experience for end users of the product (not just the devs, but also the p…

Usually the dumber thing is the true thing, I doubt this was some three dimensional company strategy (and it doesn't make sense for that to even be the case if you think it through…

The video interview is really great, worth watching the entire thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aCg7jH4S1w Also starts on a funny note with the interviewer asking about Elon…

I love the HHKB - it’s compact and looks/feels nice. I’m either using a variation of one of those or the macOS boards.

Audience capture is a scary thing: https://gurwinder.substack.com/p/the-perils-of-audience-capt... (a particularly sad and grotesque example). I think it's something we're all vuln…

Not everyone needs to be doing keto (especially if you’re active and doing cardio) - though getting protein in your diet I think is one of the few things that’s generally agreed to…

Are standard cheerios really that unhealthy? They’re easy - 3 cups (two servings) with some almond milk is only 315 calories and they’re packed with fortified vitamins. Three cups …

I'm in California - reality is even with this stuff it's hard. I'd say maybe 20% companies you send CCPA request emails to don't know what to do, have broken forms, etc. It does wo…

This can come up in other interesting ways. There are human behaviors that appear to be entirely selected for (and then kept around via culture) [0]. In this case a population may …
