cinbun8··on Launching Steve.Ai – Fastest way to create Videos in seconds
If I were a betting man, I'd say the product does not exist.
cinbun8··on Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes
How is this hacker news material? The article is poorly written too. It's just paraphrasing a Sun article at best.
cinbun8··on Launch HN: Tavus (YC S21) – AI-generated personalized videos for sales outreach
I don't know. I was able to tell she was a robot 5 seconds in.
cinbun8··on My startup failed, then I found out I was unemployable
A failed self funded video game project is a microcosm of the pain felt by bootstrapped founders that don't make it against their competition (VC funded or otherwise).

Reminds me of this thread - https://twitter.com/awilkinson/status/1376985854229504007

cinbun8··on DMX has died at 50
Not sure if its a coincidence, but this site has now gone dark - http://isdmxinjail.com/
cinbun8··on IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1
Has always been fast for me and Idea has been the best java IDE around. What specs do you run and how large is your project?
cinbun8··on BitClout is a scam, change my mind
> If there is a scammer like an inventor who is doing a scheme similar to Theranos. They will have influence, and the wealth to back a BitClout currency, and once the scheme is busted the values will become zero.

You'll need to argue that busting the scam actually reduces their influence. Anna Sorokin got a 300k deal with Netflix right after getting out of prison. If she writes a book I'm sure there are some people that would be willing to buy it. Has the scam really destroyed her influence?

The OP also does not go on to make a case for WHY they think this is a scam. A sales person not answering your question does not make the company scammy.

10 points to you if you were able to zoom in correctly on the Suez Canal
cinbun8··on Launch HN: Mezli (YC W21) – Robotic restaurants that serve healthy fast food
"AWS for bowl-style meals" - I just don't understand YC anymore
cinbun8··on Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu bar
yup, I would not have that on the site. Or I'd reword it.
cinbun8··on Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu bar
This is neat and will certainly be useful for folks that have loads of meetings everyday.

About your expansion into other areas - The reason the menu bar works is because it is tailor made for one thing now, which is finding the next meeting to join. If you add more options, would that not move the clutter from the browser tabs / apps into the menu bar? Something to think about.

Good luck with the product. I wish you the best.

cinbun8··on Our Dumb Security Questionnaire
I really loved this list and think its a great place to start . Add to this a network diagram; arch diagram; Tenancy; WAF + FIM + SIM; Bring your own keys; and you can start bringing in the enterprises into your deals. Not that you need all of those, but the add-ons usually build on the struts mentioned on that list.
cinbun8··on Automate any tasks that require multiple entries of data in a browser
Is this a product that helps create say the same user in multiple accounts and helps onboard an employee?

It's difficult to grasp the value prop since the solution seems to be pitching itself as a once-size-fits-all automation for any task. You're better off creating marketing pages for each niche problem space that this solution can help with.

cinbun8··on Former Tesla engineer sues for defamation
Recording internal meetings to raise an issue isn't the best way to deal with the situation. I'm not surprised she was let go. The company probably saw this as dangerous behavior.
cinbun8··on Noted A.I. Ethicist Timnit Gebru Let Go from Google Following Email Exchange
So anyone that fires ethicists is not ethical?
cinbun8··on Apple’s M1 silicon is all about platform control
I don't understand why exerting better control over hardware + software would mean we are being duped. A more cohesive experience provided by Apple can only be a win for them and their customers.
cinbun8··on macOS Big Sur
Is there an iPad app that you are looking forward to use on the new M1 processors with Big Sur?
cinbun8··on Apple's M1 processor spotlights Intel's chip challenges
No one sees Mac as a gaming platform at all. And gamers are a small subset of the user base.
cinbun8··on Send Payments in India with WhatsApp
That's kinda the point
cinbun8··on Document your code just by hitting “record”
I watched the video and did not understand the product. Is this supposed to be some way to make me watch a video that also documents how the code was written and how it is meant to work?

The video would be distracting from the mental model I have built of how the calls stack and can get stale pretty quickly.

cinbun8··on I reverse engineered McDonalds’ internal API
It helps to say something outrageous like that to attract more attention.
cinbun8··on White Women Need Not Apply
I read through the whole thing and came to the same conclusions. Your comment summarises the situation well.
cinbun8··on Ask HN: Why is Reddit on mobile so obsessed with making me use their app?
> We have to assume that smart people are working at Reddit

I wish more people in HN thought this way. Perhaps it's there because it's working and getting better engagement is the way to go.

They would lose revenue.
cinbun8··on I tried starting a manufacturing unit in India
You're missing the point. He's not saying he's against any of the documentation. It shouldn't be this hard, re-zoning or not.
cinbun8··on They Just Don’t Listen': SF Kimchi Maker Saw 'Food Tech' Practices Up Close
I really thought you were serious until I saw the /s. I wonder - Is there an onion version for comments? Can people really tell the difference anymore?

I clicked the link thinking the title said 10 million. haha!
