dynofuz··on Enhancement of human color vision by breaking the binocular redundancy
I already see in slightly two different colors in each eye. One is more of a blueish hue, the other more ruddy. I'm an artist and in color tests, I get the best marks. My friend who's a photographer also has the same condition and excellent color acuity. Anyone else experience this?
dynofuz··on Snap Inc. S-1
It doesnt make sense that it would be worth more than twitter or even instagram. Even if ads are more effective, there's 5x the interest to advertise on those platforms than snap (https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=snapchat%20ads,twitt...). I say its worth more like ~3B market cap
dynofuz··on Backblaze Hard Drive Stats for 2016
Yeah i think pricing is key and it looks like the different cloud storage providers all optimize for different types of storage (hot / cold). backblaze seems to be cheaper when storage is high and data transfer is relatively low (calculated via http://coststorage.com)
dynofuz··on Alphabet Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016 Results
i believe its that the supply of sold online ad clicks has grown significantly (fb) and therefore marketers have more bidders resulting in lower costs (not just for google but the whole market)
dynofuz··on Doomsday Prep for the Super-Rich
it seems that living in an apartment would be safer than a stand alone house. at least in the apartment even if you dont know your neighbors there may be some sense of community -- if we protect the apartment then we all have some safety. also surface area wise, an apartment has many more people to defend than a standalone house. personally if i were going to route of the people in the article, id get a boat and live on the coast.
dynofuz··on Ask HN: Dual monitors, or single 4k?
Yup ive had a 39in 4k monitor for 4 yrs and its amazing. no black bar breaking up visual flow. no multiple cables going into the comp. no issues with widescreen or vertical layouts. no calibration issues between screens.

the only change i'd make is to get a curved 39in 4k monitor.

dynofuz··on South Park's creators on how the series has evolved
"While you’re doing the first episode, you go, “Oh, this is really working. Let’s let this be the thing that slides through to the next episode.” So we’re reacting to what is working the week before, instead of having some grand design. And then later on, the design starts to reveal itself a little bit."

Is that what makes big companies fail? They plan too much?

dynofuz··on Why cyclists should be able to roll through stop signs, ride through red lights
Whenever someone yells at me for doing this i just tell them, "it's pareto efficient" Of course, i slow down and make sure there are no cars or people in the way before crossing.

dynofuz··on Ask HN: Raise vs. Acquire multiple rule of thumb?

dynofuz··on Sharpest ever view of the Andromeda Galaxy (2015)
those specks are not noise, they are stars! if you zoom in to the darkest top right corner, you'll see that there's in fact no noise in the image.
dynofuz··on Sergey Brin: Come to Silicon Valley to scale a business, but not to start one
Atlanta maybe? the south east has a disproportionately low number of tech companies relative to number of people (whether that's equivalent to talent, who knows?)
dynofuz··on Sergey Brin: Come to Silicon Valley to scale a business, but not to start one
Where would you start one then?
dynofuz··on Firefox Test Pilot
if the drone fox needs a dome, he probably also needs rockets to replace the propellers
dynofuz··on In the Future, We Will Photograph Everything and Look at Nothing
Maybe in the future we will actually look at everything and have to photograph nothing because it's being done automatically by our brain chip.

dynofuz··on Is Organic More Nutritious? New Study Adds to the Evidence
happy animals (milk, eggs), lower chance of toxins (roots, fruits without skins), and higher micronutrients / antioxidents which are produced when plants are subjected to slight stresses that make them "stretch" get all the nutrients they need since they arent being forcefed by fertilizers or bombed with pesticides.
dynofuz··on Amazon Free Shipping minimum is now $49
Agreed, most products above the $500 range can be found cheaper elsewhere, with the possibility of saving $100+ when compared tom amzn. that's why im working on https://percht.com.
dynofuz··on Show HN: Suto – Expert advice on products via SMS
Why not look at product review ratings or narrow down the product based on the features you want? Is it that you don't know what features are important? I'm interested because I also do work with product search
dynofuz··on Web Scraping Finds Price Fluctuation
I'm working on https://percht.com (still under high development). If we could use your payment and shipping info (entered once on percht) and make the purchase for you on bestbuy, target, etc., would that be convenient enough to take advantage of these deals? Also, electronics deals usually save you $100s not $10s.
dynofuz··on Alphabet Becomes the Most Valuable Public Company in the World
Previously google used to organically list products in their "froogle" search. now all product listings are ads. Therefore it's not surfacing content from the entire web which almost always has products for cheaper prices.
dynofuz··on How to Raise a Creative Child. Step One: Back Off
i dont have kids but, .4% rate of winning the nobel prize is way better than the 0.00000124% rate of the rest of the world. And "stepping back" may lead to much less success than pushing a kid to practice and i'd take that risk of .4% creativity vs the rest of the population.
