How many people on HN have a James Webb wallpaper?

No but I think it’s more likely the data is going back to the original manufacturer and the white labeler has no idea it’s happening. Despite assuredly rigid QC and security testin…

Respectfully disagree. I feel like quality and selection at most Nordstroms I’ve been to recently has been much worse. Salespeople have been less knowledgeable and more pushy. Feel…

But seriously, what’s the point of putting out this drivel. Isn’t the point of these statements to excite investors and potential big customers. Who in the publicity chain thinks t…

This is horrible. All of the views are impossible to parse quickly.

I think this sort of thing is much harder to do in the modern digital world. It’s one thing when it’s one-way, magazine -> audience, and the current edition is off of newsstands in…

$75k. Tell me the government doesn’t take privacy seriously without telling me that government doesn’t take privacy seriously. > Three weeks ago, genetic testing firm 1Health.io ag…

Why is it so hard for Android OEMs to keep supporting their devices? I don’t buy that it’s just planned obsolescence. As Apple invests in making devices usable for longer and longe…

I always tip well because I get that tips are misplaced wages, but the tip economy is so messed up. A huge piece is that it's based on an asymmetry of information. I don't know how…

I miss the “Under Construction” banners. It was ok to tell your visitors your site was a work in progress! (Also you generally had to publish and debug live.)
