Yeah, my phone died recently and I'm really considering replacing it with this. I can hold out on an old spare iPhone until then, I think.

Yeah, it's pretty fucked up when an internet lynch mob gets you fired because you said "dongle" or something similarly bad.

Simply observing cryptocurrency users and exchanges in action does enough to delegitimize them, I'd think.

I found that line quite interesting. The wording seems to imply that someone is going to read this tablet to Ea-nasir, and possibly that someone wrote the tablet on behalf of Nanni…

The Pokemon game was itself just a slightly modified version of Ingress!

I typically only watch Cartoon Network when I'm traveling for work and I only wish it was King of the Hill. They use Family Guy as a firewall and it's fucking interminable, I keep …

Check your local over-the-air stations; PBS has a separate digital channel for children's programming here, so it's always available.

> let's download his file list to see what kind of porn they like. this was the experience at my college, anyway

It's funny they pejoratively described the housing developments as beige, when all the pictures of Arcosanti are... beige concrete.

> The worst part is that this kind of stuff is ammunition for the Trump supporter view that Amazon is doing harm to the American economy by promoting goods manufactured by cheap la…

I think you'd be surprised how easily Grandma cottons to the idea of cheap knock-off crap, and that by typing a code from her multivitamin bottle into product-validation.gov, she c…

Well that's embarrassing, I've been reading his name online for years and always read it as Gerrard. I'll just blame small fonts, that's it.

Andrew Gerrard worked on both and apparently didn't think Camlistore was the right basis for what they wanted in Upspin. But I'm sure you, who I'm not sure has used either project,…

> You have no more need to use a mobile phone today than the Romans did. Don't tell that to the 'digital divide' people

Yeah, with a different 'face', I think boys would think this was cool too. I know 9 year old me though 'secret codes' were very cool, so I'd have probably been into it.

If you think it's just western civilization, you haven't spent much time looking at non-western civilizations.

When I was in school (90s and early 2000s), it would have been considered extremely embarrassing to have your mom drop you off and pick you up every day. I think it was about the t…

Nope! My Internet connection is less than perfect but better than the national average. The local sandbox is still laggy crap on a recently-built i7 desktop with a 1-year-old NVidi…

I've played with High Fidelity. It constantly disconnects, and it can take over a minute for an area to load enough to provide basics like 'a floor to walk on' or 'the shapes of bu…

Well, it's been flagged. Didn't match what everyone on HN already knows to be true, so it's gotta go.

They presumably call it the Big Fucking Rocket at SpaceX. But if Musk says "Big Fucking Rocket" on stage, TV news can't quote him. That's counterproductive to his goals, but using …

You're getting downvoted because everyone hates when Bitcoin idiots force it into every damn conversation.
