I found it interesting that they having "Video Game Music" listed as a genre. I'm not sure you can classify video game music under a single genre. I listen to video game music quite a b…

Ah, that's it, thanks. I made the mistake of clicking the link (I'm on a desktop now), and copying the redirected URL to compare, which was the same as this one. That's what I get for p…

Pretty off topic, but I submitted this story last night [1] with the exact same URL and title. I thought whenever duplicate stories were submitted, it just upvoted the original submission without post…

I would say it's debatable as to whether YouTube has been harmful. I think many aren't a fan of the licensing changes and other experience elements, but maybe those would have happened anywa…

I'm trying to think of a tech acquisition that was favorable, or at the very least not unfavorable for the consumer. It seems like tech (maybe all ) acquisitions almost always favor the buyer …

I'm saying, though, that asking this alone doesn't make them a point sniffer. Somebody was bound to ask it within minutes of service being restored because I'm sure everyone was curious…

This is a bit silly. Anytime a (very active) social site goes down for a few minutes, people are interested in what happened, why, and what is being considered to prevent it going further. There'…

I considered this as well (seriously), until I saw the lost data from the past day or so.

I agree with you. Additionally: > When the number of blue-eyed people is 1, the blue-eyed person did not know there were any blue-eyed people in the tribe. Knowledge is added by the statement. Woul…

> What I am arguing against is elevating those features over more effective productivity boosting solutions that may not have quite the same dazzle. Who are you arguing against though? Nobody ever …

No kidding. I was -- and still am -- blown away when I saw this. I'm definitely rooting for its success. And it's not as if the current carrier methods have zero risk. Who's to say this…

Assuming this article is correct regarding the penalization of comments, I'm a bit surprised (maybe even disappointed) that it is assumed that discussion is a sign of controversy. And maybe it is…

Obviously I have nothing to go on for this, but just guessing, it would seem to make sense that: - Of all users, only a small subset would have private repos - Of those users, only a small subset wo…

I sort of see that, but I don't understand why baseline (purple) needs to be set that much apart from slightly above (pink but almost white) or slightly below (blue but almost white), which are o…

Your defense almost makes sense, but it still leaves out the fact that it grades from red to white, and blue to white, until it hits the middle -- at which point it suddenly turns purple. To go with y…

Am I missing something fundamental here? Is depression diagnoses really so objective that we can not only compare diagnosis rates across the country, but across the world? Sort of like comparing how g…

Very nice, from what I can see. Is this only targeted for authors of apps, not consumers? Because I'm a little confused by the sign-up requirements for viewing more data, but with the restriction…

I thought the same thing. I mostly saw the stuttering buffer. Is the effect really worth the risk of poor UX? Seems a nice background image would be effective enough. (I also realize this is nitpicky,…

Sorry to hear that Keith, I was rooting for you. I too think you shouldn't give up. Just because there may be other competitors doing something similar -- even giants you feel you could never tac…

Got it, I misinterpreted it, and humbly retract my statement.

For what it's worth, it did seem to take about 30+ seconds to load for me. I also almost gave up.

Movement is terribly slow though. I remember keeping an eye on anything greater than 1920x1200 (16:10) since I got my monitor at this resolution 8 years ago. The best thing has been 2560x1600 that are…

I thought one of the more interesting points, at least in the context of HN, was that the Facebook users didn't even know she could read her posts. Not that I feel sorry for them, just that so ma…

To be honest, I didn't give much thought to that piece. It was an interesting side-fact -- that her doctor had said she was in good health -- but that's about it. It's really not up to …

There's an ars technica article [1] that dives deep into the early industry of video games and how Nintendo held such a tight -- almost monopolistic -- rein over its third parties. A very good re…
