kuldeep_kap··on Dodge Reveals New Charger Daytona EV
Are they adding speakers to make that loud sound?
kuldeep_kap··on The 15-minute city (2020)
where did you move? hows the city life there?
kuldeep_kap··on The 15-minute city (2020)
100% agree.

If anyone is interested here is great video on [Autoluw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlXNVnftaNs). This is what US needs, but I dont see this happening due america's car-centric culture.

kuldeep_kap··on The 15-minute city (2020)
I'm dreaming of the day when US cities start adopting car-light (if not car-free), walkable & bikeable urban designs. I have no interest in car centric 15-min cities. They are hard to scale and even when you achieve that goal with cars, the standard living is poor.

Portland & Detroit comparison is a bit laughable. May be we'll see this one day, but I'll believe it when I see it.

kuldeep_kap··on What I Learned at Clubhouse
i'd change the keyword 'celebrities' to 'top of the social pyramid'. You want to start the social group at the top of the social pyramid of the respective social circle. Create a social clique, which everyone would be jumping off the ground to join. Facebook was started at Ivy League, which allowed it to spread like wildfire in colleges. Similarly Clubhouse was started in Silicon Valley with top VCs and Founders.

Of course, each social app goes through various inflection points and arguably celebrities is towards the peak end of it. Celebrities usually catch on once it's already going mainstream or has a mainstream appeal. For example, Twitter had already created strong base of engaged users before celebrities caught on.

kuldeep_kap··on Show HN: I built an After Effects for dummies
Congrats! This looks amazing!

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you decide to commit to complex app like this? It must’ve taken a long time to build the MVP. Did you interview potential customers before hand or just went I with your gut or your own pain points? How did you know people will be willing to pay for this, considering there are a lot of similar tools out there?

kuldeep_kap··on Why Do Buses Bunch?
You are forgetting people who would want to get off that stop, so this is may not be an option.
kuldeep_kap··on Net Neutrality Day of Action: Help Preserve the Open Internet
Thats what I am referring to - the certain quality of service and especially no throttling part of it. Of course technically no one can guarantee certain speed, but they can try to hinder it intentionally.
kuldeep_kap··on Net Neutrality Day of Action: Help Preserve the Open Internet
Net neutrality is about getting exactly what you pay for. For example if you pay for 100MBps connection you should get 100Mbps regardless of any site you access. You don't want your ISP to decide that Netflix would stream on 20Mbps and Comcast would stream at 100Mbps. This gives us unfair advantages to certain sites which is beyond your control. Worse yet ISP can police which sites you can visit which not with absence of Net Neutrality. So this has nothing to do with communism or also not to be confused with the "right to free internet". Those are all independent topics.

kuldeep_kap··on Amazon engineer will let strangers manage his $50,000 stock portfolio 'forever'
Does anyone know how is this implemented? Is there some stock trading API?

He also talks about some regulation at the end. Does the entity needs to be setup legally in a certain way?

kuldeep_kap··on Driver who died in a Tesla crash using Autopilot ignored 7 safety warnings
1. I think any autopilot system which makes users to keep their hands on steering wheel and pay equal attention is totally useless. In fact it's detrimental since it gives false sense of control and naturally leads users to lapse.

2. Anyone who read Don Norman knows this is usually fault of the design of the system not the user. The system needs to do more to assist users in these edge cases.

Interesting. I think it would be good to have just 'upvotes' so you can tell general interest with the idea. Its always good to know for creators whether there is interest from other users.

kuldeep_kap··on Show HN: IMDB and RT ratings on Netflix
Thanks! Looking forward to the update!
kuldeep_kap··on Show HN: IMDB and RT ratings on Netflix
Perfect timing! I was thinking of spending a weekend myself for an extension like this. You saved me a much pain, Thanks!

It would be great if you can add the IMDb rating at bottom right corner of the title image, instead of me having to hover on title to see. It kind of gets annoying to check each and every title for ratings.

Sorry about that. You are right, i think I forgot to remove popup.html file, which was an example from Google.

It all comes down to the search. I know we have a lot of work to do on that front.

Bookmarking mostly never worked for me, because like you pointed out in the example, you may never know what information you might have to recall.

We may come up with a way to 'star' a link to help bring up the favorite pages.

Your browsing cache will just go back to a limited time. This you'll feel free even if you switch your comp, crash it or clear your cache.

Look it as an alternative to the bookmarking service. You never have to click on a button to record your favorite pages. Even if you miss it to click, you'll still have it stored somewhere.

I appreciate your concern. I'll try tp put that up as soon as possible. It was a weekend project and I put it out for everyone out of sheer excitement. I'll appreciate if you can try the service out and help me with the feedback. Thanks!

Guys thanks for trying out the service.

It's completely secured. I am encrypting data on all sides. Your data will be completely private. It literally started as a weekend project and now, on monday I am releasing it. So please bear with me as this looks like a rudimentary offering. Please feel free to use the service. I appreciate your feedback.

kuldeep_kap··on Show HN: Pen.io
I think you should give them out editable pretty URLs made from title of the post such as pen.io/this-is-a-test-page instead of sub-domains. This will also help you with the SEO.

Assume that people will want to build lot of pages. Don't let the lack of sub-domains hinder this. Plus, in future you can let them build a blog or something from this set of pages. Advantage you have is you are letting them start-off with minimum resistance.
