lol, people on HN learning that fashion is a thing is always hilarious to watch.
this isn't fashion; this is status signaling. i would hate to be you.
I genuinely find it hilarious that everyone has such a strong opinion about a random accessory. Seriously, who cares? Why is it that any company could make any random thing an everyone shrugs their shoulders and either likes it or ignores it but when apple makes something everyone’s knickers get in a twist? Why do y’all care so much about something you’d just walk past and ignore in literally any other scenario?
Hope. For better or worse tech nerds (me included) maintain a hopeful optimism that Apple will make good products. For the longest time they were the only tech company that really cared about design, and most people don't encounter good or thoughtful design or ever really see behind the scenes or think about design and designers. Jony Ive and Steve Jobs really glorified design I think rightly in many ways, and elevat…

> Why do y’all care so much My pension. When "jokes" like this hit the frontpage of HN, I am reminded that every dollar I put into my 401k will never see the light of day. The FTC should be mauling Apple for resting on anticompetitive laurels, but instead they're letting them grow fat and become a high-risk business. If you're not filing for retirement tomorrow, you should be considering the consequences this will ha…

Synthetic fabrics are perfectly capable of being high quality. Buzz Rickson aren't making their MA-1s out of junk.
The MA-1 "works" under a relatively narrow set of conditions that I don't see most days. I tried. It is a miserable garment for how and where I live. I'm not saying synthetic materials are always bad. I own a few jackets in synthetic materials that are good, but I have gone through a lot that are rubbish. For jackets it is more about the technical design than the exact material. I have had lots of expensive jackets t…

It does initially look like a stupid and Insanely Facile fashion statement, I agree, but I think the iPod sock v2 could be one of the most practical and cleverly designed products Apple has ever released. It's clearly intended to be used as bait for phone snatchers. That iPhone dangling loose a foot below your arm in free air is just too tempting… no thief can resist. But, then! You start swinging that motherf*cker,…

Also made in Japan
I'm as big a weeb as anyone but this is a textbook example of: >thing >:( >thing, Japan :O
It's an economic fact that a factory worker in Japan will have a higher salary and more overhead than a similar worker in Vietnam or China.
