I am not 100% sure why people are discussing their individual styling preference. Keep what you have. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, sorry for the silly question as well, I aggressively block social media on my laptop and only seen the image. Visiting your link on a PC answered all my questions.

Newbie here with these types of images. In the image there are spheres and flat discs. I take it the life forms were spherical and flat discs have broken off rather than vice versa? Of course I find it hard to imagine discs forming spheres but at the same time, that sphere doesn't seem single cell to me. Fascinating none the less.

Does anyone have time to ELI5 WebRTC?

Is a Flying Car just essentially a big drone with more noise? Do we need the Car part? Also why are we building big drones, can't we just have mini electric helicopters?

I actually don't use projects that aren't authored in TypeScript these days, I am looking forward to their rewrite.

Any particular reason that you prefer Vue over Angular seeing as you have had experience of both?

What is WebPack and SystemJS? I am being tongue in cheek but I totally agree. See all this bundling stuff? Nothing is more boring and lifeless to me personally and Angular CLI has shielded me from all of it. Really great project.

The only real problem I am having is lazy loading and dynamic component's. I am being forced really to add routes to lazy load some heavy components but I would really like not to have to deal with that. I believe there is a way to use SystemJS to load dynamic components at runtime but there is scant information and have no interest to pursue it. A small price to pay.

I found a video about it, pretty cool. http://www.1001inventions.com/media/video/clock

I completely agree with this sentiment.

I absolutely hate the "does it work on ie6".

The time you spend dealing with old browsers is never returned in profit. I had one customer (ie10) in 4 years, and losing him cost me and made me nothing.

Was that really a thing though? People cried because they didn't understand the offer of better tooling.

Thanks for pointing it out to me guys, I am not in the react world and don't mind getting down votes for being corrected. Appreciated.

All in all is it still a terrible idea to try to build native apps with HTML?

In my experience going back to Phonegap, I have tried many evolutions of these products over the years and all of them are terrible. Like unusable. 3fps and unresponsive.

Is React Native a new generation, a new stable outlook, or is it simply making React 3fps and unresponsive?

Unity is fascinating. I remember upgrading from a old gaming PC to a brand new one. I sat down and fired up Kerbal, and it was almost as bad. I don't play Unity games any more.

I really hate that Unity games are mashed with traditional games as well and that I can't filter that shit out on any popular stores such as steam. Drives me wild.

Great idea Deepak and all the best moving forward.

I am currently considering moving away from tech. When I started out, I had dreams but absolutely no contacts. I am especially bad at bullshitting my way through recruitment agencies and nothing has changed in 10 years. I am still at the same job.

Somewhere along the line I wish a service like this existed as it would have made all the difference.

Is "weed-induced psychosis" an actual bad thing? Of course it sounds terrible, but do people jump out of windows, or rake their throat out scratching an itch that isn't there? Is it dangerous or just one of those things? A Nut allergy for example?

That made me laugh, maybe that was the goal of the ad....

I have a selected blindness with ads.

However what I found recently was so do others. I was with my friend, and we wanted to know the exchange rate, so my friend fired up his phone and googled it.

We got to a web page with tiny white boxes with black text, and a half screen booking.com ad. I asked him what his thoughts were on annoying ads shifting the content down like that, and he said "I haven't seen an ad for years mate".

The glaring device screen was mostly ad and he failed to even make the connection.

It makes me wonder, are ads really so easily ignored, or have ads went down some psychological hole where you think you are clever but a few years later you are foaming at the mouth as a booking.com customer?

Yes :(.

$59.50 (£44.75) for Levi.com Jeans in US £85.50 from the "Levi.com UK" branded store.

In the early days, when we had double the exchange on the dollar, I used to buy everything from the US, and the shipping prices were pennies. It used to be exciting to have different markets to browse.

I am one of those people. It isn't that I don't understand it's purpose. What I hate is when people like my boss, who haven't read a text book on the subject for 13 years pull Jquery out automatically and force it into everyones face before any actual purpose for doing that is established. It really winds me up.

Thanks, I always enjoy HN recommendations for books. Even better there is an Audio Book version!

Hi David, UK here. Do you mind if I ask what scooter you purchased? Also how is maintenance? Keep being a pioneer!

I get the impression Amazon are much "bigger" in the states. Size, reach, marketing? Not sure. I don't particularly find Amazon UK very user friendly and very rarely if ever do they have the cheapest price so I don't find myself there often.

I also consider them a bit dirty for the same reason as you as I know employees and they are treated like garbage. Maybe not in head office, but certainly in distribution.

This is just one source of the many examples I have read over the years painting a similar picture.

>> In the UK, 8.39% of deaths were due to pollution

It always seems pretty high.

I always wonder why they focus on the effects of say, a few beers, or someone who has a smoke in the morning.

Yet all the health problems caused by the very air we breath in cities, well that is fine.

That is really good information! I would look a bit weird but it is discreet and no one would know the true purpose or make the connection.

I am also interested, it looks a cool machine but seems secretive. looks like stage lighting laser.

Too close and awkward? By the time I scrambled up a 20 foot pole, citizens would already call the police on me for weird behavior.

Is a EMP spherical in shape or directional or is that purely a design choice?

Yeah but aside from the legal aspect, what are my technical options?

In the UK they are pretty tough to get a hold of and not very discreet or quiet! Although certainly a viable solution!
