Amazing how people don't even open the article isn't it?

edit: opening it is the easy part, reading however proves challenging for some

I think the term you're looking for is a 'vestibule'
ng-user··on Introducing Messenger Kids
Their situation is not an either/or, it's both. It's an awesome model and I think eventually a lot of companies will replicate something similar using AR.

Thanks for pointing that out though!

ng-user··on Introducing Messenger Kids
Going to play devil's advocate and ask, did you really expect a tech company to encourage children to avoid all of their products and go play outside like they did 30 years ago when these companies never even existed? Of course they want children and people of all ages on their services. It's in their best interest to get the majority of folks using their platform.

I seriously have no idea why this is so hard to understand.

What if I told you there were no "Simple Fixes" for "Massive ____ Problems"

Is this not a repost? I could of sworn I saw this posted an hour or two ago.

edit: It is! Here's the discussion from the previous post.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15798960

ng-user··on HP installs system-slowing spyware on its PCs
There's an app on the Play Store called "Bixby Remapper", let's you choose nearly anything you want that button to do.

Honestly it's been extremely useful and I'd recommend it to all S8/Note8 users.

ng-user··on HP installs system-slowing spyware on its PCs
I disabled the Bixby button on my S8 and remapped it to open Spotify. It's become way more useful than originally anticipated.
ng-user··on Ask HN: What tips do you have for weathering a recession?
Express gratitude for things/people that are already in your life. Become truly grateful for the life you live. External validation can only do so much.

It'd be nice if Pai came around all of a sudden too..

Vastly different set of principles clearly.

Yes
ng-user··on Ask HN: Fastest/easiest framework to build a web application in 2017?
What are you good at? It'll be tremendously faster to build a web application using a technology or framework you're already familiar with than it will be to LEARN and then build. It sounds like you're looking for something like a MEAN stack generator or the like, check out Yeoman if you're into JS development.

Not to mention, how would you limit it to children only? Talk about pedo heaven.

However, the postal service doesn't retain a copy of the data it receives, nor does it even open or view said data.
ng-user··on Ask HN: Should I code for equity?
Never a good idea.
ng-user··on Ask HN: Would you send a self-driving car to pick up your kid?
This is the answer whether most choose to admit it or not.

Years ago folks would never consider the option of summoning a stranger (not a taxi, a stranger in their own vehicle) to come pick them up at their home and drop them off where they were going. However, today everyone living in any substantial metropolis does it in a heartbeat. Why? It's time-efficient, we've got well-established services that hold "some sort" of accountability and it's the most convenient option in most cities.

Today almost no one would be willing to say "Yeah I'll take a self-driving car to the airport" because the process has yet to be proven successful. After all, it's _only_ 2017... give it 10 years and we'll see what the majority are doing. It's about what people do not what they say they will do. Actions speak louder than words.

ng-user··on VS Code Roadmap 2018
I really want support for multiple monitors!
ng-user··on Show HN: API to check where a TV show or movie is available
Thanks!
ng-user··on Show HN: API to check where a TV show or movie is available
Does this separate the region specific content appropriately?

ie. US Netflix has Clerks 2 but Canadian Netflix does not.

ng-user··on How do i make 1M friends who always respond to my messages within 1 min
Why 1M and not 1B? Why 1 minute and not 10 seconds?

Both sets of values seem unobtainable to the average "random Joe".

Perhaps you can divulge why you require such arbitrary values?

ng-user··on Which MacBook Pro configurations actually have tangible performance differences?
Maybe 5-8 years ago 8GB was enough. In 2017? Yeah right.
ng-user··on Ask HN: Where can you ask Stackoverflow questions but for money
You can try HackHands [0]. I got $20 credit with them through the GitHub Student Pack and only ever used it once. It seems like it might be the service you're looking for!

ng-user··on Ask HN: What simple tools or products are you most proud of making?
Kickass! I love the idea and I'm genuinely surprised it's not covered with Spotify itself. You've got another user :)
ng-user··on Ask HN: Whats your favorite backpack for everyday carry?
Spend the money and get a GORUCK GR1
ng-user··on Ask HN: Best and worst UI's you've seen?
Personally, I don't like flushing toilets around the world because there are a million ways to do it. I'm surprised something like that did not get standardized internationally or nationally or even across a brand. I understand it's cutting water costs in a lot of places by having a lite flow + regular with the dual press but it's wildly inconsistent. I've pulled the lever, pushed a button, pushed a half button, pulled a string hanging from the ceiling.. is this just something that we mutually agree is fucked? Or is it just me?

Shit could be improved.
