    > They don't want 100 apps that do the exact same thing. I read it as the "insane" part parent is pointing at. It's nothing new, has been going on basically since the existence of …

    Slightly besides your point, but it's interesting how many here naturally ponder about how the current winner could or "should" keep winning, instead of how another company could b…

    You're right on the principle, and this camera is purposefully aimed at a subpar viewfinder experience. As a comparison point, many people shoot street photography "from the hip", …

    Absolutely not defending anything the US gov is doing now or for the past years, and in general agreement (Iran is targeted for totally stupid reasons), just to point out: > With t…

    Yes, but the situation got a lot better and a lot worse... Sadly there has been a bunch of pretty devastating earthquakes in recent years. In particular in Kumamoto the one in 2016…

    On top of that, one of the toughest part could be the extent of the power outage. It's reported at around 46000 homes, the region has many elders and the outage will impact air con…

    Can you think of anything open-source that has to go through mandatory tests to be distributed and still survived ? There is a reason to it, that's as good as any angle to find why…

    I'm curious how many times you end up in the similar situations as an exam after you graduate from college. I share your experience of remembering written notes while a student, bu…

    To parent's point, A24 is expressing respect for the community, but with no further commitment to do anything about it. We use to point the finger at youtube channels uploading who…

    I read "resolution" as pixel count more than DPI. As it becomes cheaper to capture and process higher res content, we're bound to push it to bigger displays (VR included). I guess …
