Please flag the above comment. It won't let me delete it now, and debating with this crew of simpletons is just entirely unrewarding.

I would respond sincerely and absolutely eviscerate your ignorant nonsense, but this is HN so it is wholly undeserving of that. Instead - lol, ok

A bunch of my comments were flagged as well. HN is an absolute joke. There is zero rational discussion on here. It's just zealots contriving their bullshit.

That wasn't a personal attack whatsoever. Saying that the market is a wasteland doesn't eliminate the occasional tiny oasis. But compared to the size of the userbase, the market wa…

"You're claiming the nonexistence of something that clearly exists." You have become incredibly insincere in your arguments, or you are seriously misunderstanding this discussion. …

"I had a 10 year career in that "wasteland"." From your CV, apparently developing for the Mac. Actually at a well known developer that probably had just a handful of employees. It …

Your two fringe examples hardly render that "utter nonsense". There have been over a billion Windows devices in play for 3+ decades. The average Window user has paid for at most an…

"People quickly forget that software was distributed on the web long before the App Store existed." Independent software development was an absolute wasteland. It was extremely har…

Orthogonal complaint, but it was a huge loss when the Civilization catalog was removed from GeForce Now. I loved playing Civ while developing on my laptops, without it spooling up …

Apple's GPUs achieve "integrated" level performance and it would be a large step for them to achieve AMD or nvidia performance levels. Maybe they can scale it up sufficiently, or p…

You should demand a refund. Vote with your wallet. Of course that was a bit trenchant, however you're complaining about a promise that was never made. No one ever promised that you…

Mr. Mauch is replying through this thread and I don't think many have noticed. Great initiative and project, with a wonderful outcome. This is great HN material.

She was asked by CNN, given that she's running on the Biden-Harris ticket. No one particularly cares whether you care or not, but she is clearly a rather important person right now…

You could have simply given your opinion, but leading off with a dismissive "ignore the haters" (where haters are apparently people who didn't enjoy it) made your comment carry zer…

The submission is about trying to draw in users for a meat-world social application during a pandemic. In the sunscreen example, someone could absolutely be designing packaging, se…

Their comment addresses the fundamental substance of the submission. It's as if someone started their sunscreen door to door business in January: The fundamental timing is broken.

"I believe most people just don't notice the judder, and many of the rest don't care" This is probably the case. DAZN took over NFL streaming in Canada and for the first two years …

"supporting a brand as team sports is a thing like supporting a political party as team sports is" This may be true at times, but the assumption of the same is the root of a lot of…

"I have an Apple TV 4K, which can do 4K Dolby Vision playback and looks ok, but the Apple TV tends to have some jittering when streaming certain shows (very noticeable in panning s…

The chart does not see to show every bitrate for every target resolution, but rather is show where the 4K stream would have to drop to a lower resolution given insufficient bandwid…

"But, selling it to a company that have commitments to investors, paying customers and an executive team who might not all have technical backgrounds makes TDD a hard sell" It's an…

"The ISPs now will have a series of PR articles about how Google wants to own the internet, track all your web DNS, monopolize the access, and evil blah blah." They'd be right, but…

Epic knowingly, intentionally, and publicly defied Apple's rules. In response Apple "threatened" exactly what they threaten every single other company doing the same -- to suspend …
