kevando··on Senate Bill to Ban TikTok
yeah i found it noteworthy that your comment had mostly green user replies. thanks for sharing this, i didn't know about the 50 cent party.
kevando··on EU approves legislation to regulate Apple, Google, Meta, and other tech firms
100%
kevando··on The Problem with NFTs
also stay well away from milk. you don't need it.
kevando··on The Problem with NFTs
file this under reaction videos. he's reacting to the hype. this is no different than saying "the problem with YC" and only focusing on the last 5 batches.
kevando··on Akamai Edge DNS was down
lol
kevando··on Types of propaganda, propaganda techniques, and propaganda strategies (2017)
100% i think it was peter thiel who i heard say something to the effect of “if 90% of the most recent supreme court justices went to hardvard/yale, you have to ask yourself what are they teaching there?”

and on the other side, i witnessed what the chicago public school system says to the kids (remote learning) and holy shit. it was like something from 1984. gotta start preparing us to not own anything and like it some time…..

kevando··on Your product is a joke: lessons from improv to build better product
wow what a great post! i think you totally nailed it. the KEY to a funny imorov scene is the normal base reality. there’s like one joke before matt foley comes out of the basement. you nailed this with your observation, yeah finding my docs is a pain. and it’s super important not to derail from your game. key and peele are the masters of this. substitute teacher is literally one joke over and over and it’s hilarious. they’re also masters of the unusual thing. that’s where i might challenge you with eesl. a search bar in browser extension is not unusual.
kevando··on New Snap Spectacles Feature Augmented Reality Display
Finally :D
kevando··on Ask HN: How to build empathy?
empathy is the TCP handshake of understanding

Me ---------------- My feelings -------------- > You

Me ------------- I understand? -------------- :You

Me <------------- You understand -------------- You

kevando··on Epic’s decision to bypass Apple’s App Store policies was dishonest, says judge
Great point. Now consider what browser came after Firefox. This is what Apple wants to prevent.
kevando··on Unity Software Inc S-1
Love this positive attitude. Have you tried using Lens Studio?

I never thought I'd say a tool brings me joy, but Lens Studio brings me joy.

kevando··on Edward Snowden: Permanent Record
For me in the US I went from talking like a lunatic to talking about yesterday’s news. Frustrating to say the least.
kevando··on Ask HN: What are you learning in 2019?
Sketch comedy writing
kevando··on Verizon to Sell Tumblr to Automattic
made me lol
kevando··on Ask HN: We have a great team and capital but can't find a good idea
Many great tech startups began because the founders had the protection of doing whatever they wanted (fb, goog, snap) without worrying about other stuff. You guys had a year to figure this out. Startups tend to happen naturally and they aren't for everyone.
kevando··on A Closer Look at the $13B Premium Eyewear Market
Yes you bring up a good point. A pair of glasses is quite different than a bottle of water.
kevando··on A Closer Look at the $13B Premium Eyewear Market
Seems that most frame design comes from European, so it probably has alot to do with pride.
kevando··on A Closer Look at the $13B Premium Eyewear Market
check out my company frameri.com and if you like what you see, message us on intercom. we designed everything ourselves
kevando··on A Closer Look at the $13B Premium Eyewear Market
Why do you see an ophthalmologist and not an optometrist?
kevando··on A Closer Look at the $13B Premium Eyewear Market
Yes this is all true, but the real reason glasses cost so much is because people buy vision, not glasses. And people value vision extremely high. I started a glasses company and when I'd tell people their $900 glasses cost the eye doctor less than $100, they would give me this blank stare like "so what? I can see."
kevando··on Jack Dorsey's two years as Twitter's CEO have not saved the company
I'm not really surprised, but I also don't really understand the comparison. Facebook/Twitter distribute news, they don't create it.
kevando··on Jack Dorsey's two years as Twitter's CEO have not saved the company
I feel like media companies (like recode, cnn) are really going after social tech companies (like twitter, facebook) right now.
kevando··on Ponzi Schemes Using Virtual Currencies (2014) [pdf]
I don't see this any different than advertising laws. Given the nature of capitalism, people will always try to bamboozle each other and if the benefit of bamboozling someone is high enough, we get really smart bamboozlers. I think it's natural to plan ahead and prevent this.
kevando··on Show HN: Reddit Grid – A better way to browse subreddits that are very visual
hahah I love Reddit.. SFW: 1 row. NSFW: 3 rows
kevando··on ICOs and VCs
Can you site any of this?
kevando··on Lessons I Learned from the Dotcom Bubble for the Coming Cryptocurrency Bubble
Does anyone think that when the crypto bubble bursts, that will cause a stock market level crash?
kevando··on Killing C.I.A. Informants, China Crippled U.S. Spying Operations
Every time I read news like this, I remember that nyt has many choices of what to publish and they CHOSED to publish this. Why? It feels like this article is designed to increase sympathy for the CIA.
kevando··on Ask HN: How to leave a startup when you own a third of it?
How much did you pay yourself during the 16 months? Did you three all get paid the same?
kevando··on Ask HN: Is there room for another search engine?
Yes and I predict Reddit will be the first challenger to finding web content. And looking beyond, I don't see Google as the way I find amazing AR/VR experiences.
kevando··on David Rockefeller has died
>In 2008 Rockefeller gave $100 million to his alma mater, Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I have to agree with Malcom Gladwell on this... Of all the ways to donate $100M, OF ALL THE WAYS
