I am getting rid of my smartphone after it breaks and downgrading to a flip phone.

I am actually looking forward to being able to type with one hand again.


With the thumb of the same hand that's holding the phone? Welcome to RSI hell!


48% of the country voted for him, not a surprise to see his supporters represented in any group with 2 or more people.


Trump won because democrats didn't vote. Look at the voter turnout for 2008 and 2012 and tell me nominating Hillary wasn't a huge mistake.

The DNC has no one to blame but themselves.


Time to upgrade HN?

That is hardly the first thread to experience performance issues.


That's not what we mostly hear from people, but yes we have some plans up our sleeve.


I look forward to seeing what you guys decide.

HN has always set a pretty good benchmark for minimalist developers.


Typical.

You didn't get the expected result so you blame democracy. History is filled with countries abandoning democracy in favor of dictatorships.

It never works out.


I have been following his blog for about 6 months because it seemed like he was a pretty rational and lucid trump supporter.

I have a newfound respect for him because he literally called every step of this election.


Too big to fail.


Karwho?

I anticipate Postmates & Lyft to cave within the next year also.

Uber seems pretty unstoppable now, I think government regulation is the only thing that can really slow them down.


TIL that most people have no idea how the porn industry operates.

Equating porn to prostitution is like equating a stunt driver to that crazy asshole that ran you off the road.

The porn industry is pretty heavily regulated, requiring std checks, identification, consent forms, and witnesses.

Legal prostitution would attempt to achieve the same level of regulation, but due to the scale it will just result in more trafficing and abuse.


But there is a lot of porn I suspect that is not made in the USA or other countries with these legal frameworks in place and I suspect most people viewing it realistically do not really care where it is made (be honest!).

Prostitution on the other hand is always in the country where the service is provided. Big difference.


Porn is more pleasing when the girl sounds and looks like girls that you know. It gives it a more realistic feel. So consumers actually do care where the porn is made.


> Porn is more pleasing when the girl sounds and looks like girls that you know.

Unless you're attracted to women you consider "exotic", in which case the girl-next-door look would bore you.


I actually prefer amatuer porn made by couples.

Its authentic and everyone is having a good time.

I would think there would be hard data on this by now.


If you have it I would love to see it.


Does it really make a difference for Soylent at this point?

I would imagine their brand is already trashed.
