The issue is not the total space, but the price for the size.

It's not even a complete "house", it's just the frame!

For that price you can get a 1000 sqft. mobile home, probably furnished too.

If you want to live in a shed, you can get a 1000 sqft. frame for $4k, not sure why this is $44k.

540 sqft. No, that's an expensive shed.

Just get a trailer house.

It's really easy to find: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33285734

GP probably didn't want to expand because of their previous experience.

Either way, you derailed the discussion more than anyone else and contributed the least, don't you think?

I'm not talking about the 2014 "election" that happened after the Crimea invasion.

I'm talking about before all that. The 2014 coup openly supported by US and Europe that overthrew Ukraine's pro-Russian elected President.

These things aren't propaganda, they are events that happened.

Do you honestly believe that coup was totally organic and the US had no hand in that one (just others)?

There is precedent for the US meddling in other countries and even Ukraine in 2004: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usa

But maybe, just maybe, the US had no hand in these "revolutions", just the Middle East and LATAM countries.

That doesn't give a blank check to do whatever you want without criticism.

And if previous actions justify later actions then the US shouldn't have meddled in 2014.

Thus "no need" to blame Russia, the US is responsible.

In reality, things are much more nuanced than that logic.

I don't understand the Roblox hate I see here all the time.

As a self-taught programmer who learnt via private game servers, I see the importance of making programming fun for kids.

Roblox also needs to be able to sustain itself financially to continue developing the framework and maintaining server resources.

It seems like a lot of the hate is from people who haven't even checked out this community, they just parrot the same talking point and hate that previous people have said.

Such as?

Contrary to the tone of the article, this is an obligatory reminder that the BlackBerry movie is heavily fictionalized:

IF that's the case, they shouldn't have put it in their 2030 predictions video and hosted it on their platform.

Handwaving it away as some low level actor's wacky vision isn't really a good or original excuse.

Or her essay was actually about what it's title and content literally said and the "thought experiment" line was a pitiful backpedal.

I mean, everything you write is a "thought experiment", that doesn't mean you are immune to the responses to the content.

For example, if you wrote something really racist and then got backlash, could you just claim it was a thought experiment to invoke discussions about race? Not successfully.

Does the semantics of "thought experiment" vs "prediction" really matter though? The point is it's a dystopian view being discussed at THE platform of world leaders... It doesn't look good at all.

That's crazy. But the main draw of Y.JS is how easy it is to use.

It has many providers, easy persistence, and many integrations.

Maybe make a compatibility layer to use the Y.JS ecosystem?

There's a fair amount of deciding what is "newsworthy" on the media's behalf.

Which murders, scandals, legislation to cover...

Just more trash from the NYTimes...

Why does American media portray Japan like this all the time?

They take one niche thing, write an "article" about it, and frame it as the norm for all of Japan...

That'd be nicesuhh?

I'd pick fake British any day, though I haven't heard any prominent use.

Valley/Uptalk is the most annoying. Everything is a questionnn. No matter whaatt.

Those are mostly regional accents btw, not generational.

Yeah, hopefully they'll educate themselves.

That's about the level of retort I expected.

Yes I believe most people are a "little bit narcissistic" if you have to term it like that.

Do you believe it's binary or a spectrum?

At what point do you think people "cross over" to meet a threshold of being a "narcissist"?

He does have a coherent policy platform, you may just not like it, and judging from this thread people can't get over his hands.

Seems like people can't get over him in general, we're talking about him in a Google Pixel Fold thread lol.

He can't get over it, or others can't get over saying the stupid meme?

It's not him repeating it over and over. It's childish and not political satire at all.

There may be people with a bad case of it, I assume it's on a spectrum like many personality traits, but the term is heavily overused.

I see it mainly used when someone doesn't agree with the other person's line of reasoning.

Just right now, my denial of it nearly had you diagnosing me with it.

Might as well just go back to calling people heretics.

I believe the "joke" is used far more than the few times he's addressed it. If anything, it's the people constantly saying it who are obsessed with Trump, not the other way around.

The media will stir up controversy anyway, you may as well reply and get your side in, otherwise they are dictating the conversation and truth.

And we're all narcissists... that's nature. It's such a pointless and empty statement.

I did not say exclusively used.

But sure, Never Trumpers like Marco Rubio threw the same lame insult.

So if someone keeps making fun of you about a physical trait, true or not, if you respond at all, you're insecure?

That's really convenient if you want to make fun of someone. If they get bothered, just call them a narcissist and your insults are justified!

Actually the "Let's Go Brandon" phrase has an interesting origin of a reporter trying to say the crowd was cheering for a Nascar driver named Brandon while they were clearly chanting "Fuck Joe Biden". So it became a euphemism for the actual phrase they were cheering and a callback towards that event that shows the media's biased coverage.

So yes, I think that phrase is a bit deeper than saying someone has tiny hands? over and over for a decade.

It's more of a petty "joke" that leftists use because they don't have anything else.

It's at the level of a modern SNL skit, all superficial and more of a "mean girl" insult on appearance than satire.

GP was correct in saying "no one cares about that or if it is true." That's not the point, the point is to insult.

You're ignoring the part of how obvious the request is overall.

Everyone wants faster travel, you don't need to ask anyone for that, it's not a vision.

They weren't addressing my main point, so the straw man started earlier, no?

Cliche HN words aside, they started with a personal question, which I can't answer as it would dox me.

Then their main point concerned the lack of going viral, which has nothing to do my point.

They said "Great products almost never go viral on their own". I'm saying build a product you think is great, fuck others bad advice, then market the shit out of it and make people realize how great it is.

> But people with actual experience have learned this repeatedly.

I have experience in this. The real pioneers aren't doing that. It's just a SV meme to maximize their shit product, it's the best they can do without a vision.

I'm not saying don't market it. But I'm also saying you should have a better vision than "well gee what should we make, world?" That's pretty pathetic. Have passion in what you want to do, it should be personal. If you have a problem, there's countless others with that same problem.

Showing it to them and pointing out the problem is hard, yes.

I wasn't saying "move fast break things", at all. Nearly the opposite in fact.

Take your time and build something you know is great.
