wunderflixon Apple introduces new version of iMovie featuring Storyboards and Magic Movie

We’ve developed a simple video camera app. We focus on parents who are beginners in creating videos like most people. And: we only do vertical videos.

PS: let me know what you think if you give it a try!

wunderflixon Show HN: Research AI – AI Writing Assistant

I was dumb enough to sign up... The results are not impressive at all.

Now they have my CC number. There is no way to cancel your account. There is just a gmail support email... Let's see if I get my $14.99 back.

wunderflixon Facebook does not plan to notify half-billion users affected by data leak

Could someone elaborate on what the worst-case exploit would be for those number that got leaked? How would a scenario look like? Asking for a friend whose number got exposed...

wunderflixon TailwindCSS JIT with arbitrary values

It might not solve your problem. It does solve problems for other people like me though.

I have bought this, too. It's great.

There is also a “free” site, which offers lovely designs: https://tailblocks.cc/

wunderflixon What defines a great company culture?

I guess it depends on how hard it is enforced. In the end, consistency is something gray and not black and white.

wunderflixon What defines a great company culture?

> They key to a strong culture is consistency from the top. The CEO's job is to make sure everyone on the management team is on the same page. If a senior leader wants to create their own unique culture for their part of the org, they can't be allowed to stay.

I love this entire thread and it resonates a lot with me. I, too, believe that there is not THE right company culture that will solve everybody’s problems. Many in the agile or “new work” camp seem to believe that their way is the ONLY way, for example.

Consistency is much more important than how the culture actually is.

wunderflixon Leaked phone number of Mark Zuckerberg reveals he is on Signal

Maybe. And maybe he’s there because he is a smart lad who knows which products to monitor closely.

After all he bought Instagram and WhatsApp for peanuts, and copied the best features of SnapChat.

wunderflixon How Browsers Lay Out Web Pages

Awesome! Thank you

wunderflixon “I’ll Finish It This Week” and Other Lies

> So, what did we learn?

1. If you are coding or writing, multiply the expected time of any specific task by ∼ 1.5x (the real completion time will now probably still be 1.5x longer than your new expected time, but you tried).

1.5x matches my real-world SW dev experience.

wunderflixon How Browsers Lay Out Web Pages

Is there a good page about font sizes, spacings and all that?

wunderflixon Carbon's interstellar journey to Earth

Thanks for the write-up, absolutely fascinating.

Mind-boggling to imagine how all that then led to living objects and finally us exchanging messages on this platform.

Makes you wonder if it all happened by pure chance or if we are all part of an elaborated plan...

wunderflixon Vitamin D: The truth about an alleged Covid ‘cover-up’

There is a doctor on HN who frequently writes about how bad overdosing Vitamin D can be. So I’d be careful on the dosage at least.

wunderflixon When Feynman met Dirac (2020)

The site is hosted on medium. I doubt that it can be hugged to death?

wunderflixon When Feynman met Dirac (2020)

This all sounds an awful lot like a standard telenovela drama.

So he was awarded the Nobel Prize for being a "showman"?

wunderflixon Marwa Elselehdar: 'I was blamed for blocking the Suez Canal'

I remember a Ted talk saying that China grew much faster than India not because of any infrastructure advantage they had. But because of stronger role women play in the work force.

wunderflixon Commoditize your complements (2002)

The way I understand complement like it’s defined in the article is: something you buy from different players to use with your product. Cars/gas, Hardware/SW.

It’s not something you need to produce your product in the first place, like steel for car manufacturers. Thus, I don’t think your examples qualify tbh.

wunderflixon Commoditize your complements (2002)

I’ve read about this before. I can’t you tell you why, but somehow I think there’s something about that theory that doesn’t feel right. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe someone else can?

Are you aware that computers are a “bicycle for the mind”?

wunderflixon Zero click vulnerability in Apple’s macOS Mail

> Android had it since ~2012.

I seriously wonder: what difference did it make? Was there any groundbreaking thing iOS users missed for 8 years?

Apple is just great in omitting things and keeping focus to deliver a great product and then expand on that basis.

Most famous example: First iPhones didn’t have MMS

wunderflixon Fish Doorbell

From the Wikipedia article you referenced to:

> Fish ladders have a mixed record of effectiveness. They vary in effectiveness for different types of species, with one study showing that only three percent of American Shad make it through all the fish ladders on the way to their spawning ground

I guess that’s what they call artificial selection pressure.

wunderflixon The MVP most startups ignore

> What if we change the way we think about a startup’s first marketing site altogether?
> What if founders thought about their first website the way they think about their product?

> What if we treated early startup websites as if they are the marketing MVP?

Wait what? I don’t get it... Which startups website isn't an MVP? Can anyone explain what the point of this article is?

wunderflixon Stop Calling Everything AI, Machine-Learning Pioneer Says

I am pretty sure there is an AI toothbrush already...

(Haven't googled it yet, I swear!)

wunderflixon Stop Calling Everything AI, Machine-Learning Pioneer Says

I understand what you are saying and I tend to agree. But: AI would then be way more specific to computers. Science Fiction is a very broad term also applied to biology, engineering etc.

wunderflixon Stop Calling Everything AI, Machine-Learning Pioneer Says

I really liked the definition of AI (back in 2015) by Seth Godin - a marketer!

>One common insightful definition of AI: Artificial Intelligence is everything a computer can't do yet. As soon as it can, we call it obvious.

If the term is used like that it does make sense to me.

wunderflixon Show HN: Three Things Daily – Make gratitude a daily habit

I am a bit skeptic when it comes to these things. But, I have been doing a 1 min "prayer" every day while taking a shower in the morning. I remind myself how well I am off compared to many people and what a great family I have etc. It has really helped me to start the day with a calmer mind.

wunderflixon Google collects 20 times more telemetry from Android devices than Apple from iOS

I seriously don’t mean this in an offensive way. But isn’t bringing Apple now into this, “Whataboutism” in disguise?
