rnernento··on Show HN: A better way to find films to watch on Netflix
Awesome design / interface. I saw this initially a few weeks ago and I'm really starting to come around to how useful it is.
rnernento··on Boosted Boards (YC S12) Unveils Its Magical Electric Skateboard
These are cool and I desperately want one but the price point doesn't seem reasonable for what it does.

Also, why do they keep showing people walking their boards up stairs in the video, seems counter-intuitive.

rnernento··on Things I, as a designer, wish more tech startups knew
I guess effectively using contrast isn't one of them...
rnernento··on Why Ratings Systems Don't Work
Ratings leave something to be desired for sure. You can tell if something is worth checking out if it's highly rated but other than that they aren't tremendously useful.

That being said I'm not a fan of the goodfil.ms graph at all. Why do I care about how rewatchable someone else thinks a movie is? Do I want to watch it again? I would know because I'd have seen it.

I think rewatchable is the wrong term. Fun is what you're looking for. Major Payne is a fun movie. It is incredibly rewatchable but I don't need a website to tell me that. I could use a website to point me to it if I haven't seen it before.

I think the site is on the fringe of something important though. There are multiple ways to rate a movie, and mood plays a huge role in what you want to watch at any given moment.

rnernento··on Facebook barely holding 50% line (19.01)
I don't know why I love watching the Facebook stock sink so much, I know it's probably bad for the tech industry as a whole.

Facebook is so mediocre and this is right in line.

rnernento··on Why is Apple scared to compete with Samsung?
I don't think the lawsuits are because Apple is afraid of competing with Samsung, I think they're because Apple feels they shouldn't have to bother.

From the Apple perspective they've done all this innovation over the past decade and Samsung is an annoying leech.

Regardless of whether or not you believe that I think the motivation for the lawsuits is not fear of competition.

rnernento··on Why I now, unfortunately, hate Hacker News..
Steve,

Where's the constructive criticism? It's a community, you can take your ball and go home but if you actually want better feedback start by giving some.

rnernento··on I Have 50 Dollars
Nice start, clean design but it looks like signup is broken. It redirects to some random TED talk :p
rnernento··on Amazing CSS3 3D popup book
Really cool design, I love seeing seamless in browser 3D, can't wait till this is the norm.
rnernento··on Amazing CSS3 3D popup book

rnernento··on The Making of Warcraft, Part 2
These articles are great, thanks OP.
rnernento··on The Tablet Problem
Windows really has the potential to shine in this department. Not quite a killer feature but it's definitely something they're capable of getting right.
rnernento··on Telltale Signs You Are A Horrible Boss
32. You are always reading the internet instead of working.
rnernento··on Are Android tablets ready to take on the iPad?
Loving the Nexus 7, I just wish the Android app/game quality would catch up to Apple.
rnernento··on 4chan: Beyond one billion
Ahahah so much hate, def rustled some jimmies.
rnernento··on Google to buy Frommer's
Awesome, can't wait to see integration into google maps / location based services.
rnernento··on 4chan: Beyond one billion
OP IS A FAG.

rnernento··on Show HN: A RottenTomatoes for Books
Fantastic, just sent the link to like 5 people. There is definitely a need for this.

That being said I don't love the cloud icons. Also the layout of the social media icons when viewing a book is ugly.

I predict tremendous success.

rnernento··on Education, Skills & Slavery… and why we’re probably screwed.
Tell me more about Piracetam? I want 10IQ points :)
rnernento··on Google Art Project
Pretty cool but it seems kind of clunky by Google standards.
rnernento··on I just built my first Rails app and this is how I did it
I tried the referenced app, it pulled up a description and I clicked "Meh" then it didn't do anything. Meh.
rnernento··on Rules of a Zen programmer
Yeah, I could understand a company that makes nuclear warheads but I don't see the connection between nuclear power and tanks. I think the author either isn't informed about the possible positive aspects of nuclear power or meant to say something else.
rnernento··on Show HN: My weekend hack project, Appload.io, get your app's first 1k users
You my friend, are on to something...

Great idea, nice design, I'll keep poking at it and let you know if I can break anything.

At this point I'm scared to comment...
rnernento··on What I Learned From Opening a Bookstore
Great morning read, I'll have to be more careful about my fly...
rnernento··on With Today's Protests, SOPA Becomes a Mainstream Issue
This is a key first step. Now that it has some real attention we have to work to get the right information out there. At the very least people are going to be curious, hopefully they'll be turning to nerds everywhere for an explanation.
rnernento··on The SOPA Blackout Roundup
Yeah, has Zuckerberg said anything about it? They really dropped the ball.
rnernento··on Google will protest SOPA using home page
I'm starting to get the feeling tomorrow is going to be crazy. I don't think congress is prepared for this. Their approval rating already abysmal, and I predict this will put a LOT of people into action.
