Flowsion

That was fun, reminded me of some flash games I used to play. Got a bit boring after like level 6. It'd be nice to have different power-ups and upgrades. Maybe you had that at later levels, though!

There's not much leftover, as they are served in small little sauce-like plates. It's pretty frowned upon to ask for more banchan if you aren't going to finish it.

But yes, the leftover dishes are thrown away.

Early mukbang wasn't really about gluttonous binge eating. It was more just a way for people to eat in front of their computers with another person. It's changed a lot now, though.

3 separate incidents and he put himself in harms way each time to save others. What a wonderful man.

I completely agree that you must be compensated. I don't think anyone is telling you to share this for free, in fact, a lot of people are stating how they would be happy to pay for it.

It makes sense that a collection of apps, extensions, etc would become a full-time job that demanded full-time compensation. I think the disconnect people are having would be, how could a single app demand that?

Either way, it's your prerogative to do as you'd like with your app. I wish you the best of luck as it's a really neat sounding app.

I can understand this logic, but does every app generate enough revenue to sustain a developer full-time? I would think that some niche apps are able to bring in solid revenue for the amount of work put in.

I'm unsure how much time would go into general upkeep and management. Could some of the others suggestions here work, asking users to pay for future updates?

I'm in the same camp as most of these users. I have this problem while using Discord and a game on STEAM (Counter-Strike). The mic quality is degraded heavily and I would be more than happy to pay a one-time fee. But I do not like adding too many subscriptions, no matter the cost, especially for apps that I could see myself requiring no serious updates unless I upgraded my physical products.

I almost never pay attention to ads and have never purchased anything from ads.. until Instagram. The targeted ads on Instagram are unreal. They've shown me products from local creators/shop owners that there's no way I would have found otherwise.

I still get a lot of crappy ads and get bombarded with the same product I just purchased at times. But, it's by far the most customized/useful ad experience I've had.

I've heard many horrific stories and first-hand accounts where Tamil people were tortured, raped and had their entire families wiped out.

The Sri Lankan Government burned down the Jaffna Library in an attempt to erase Tamil history. They wiped out entire villages with bombs and forced generations to leave Sri Lanka forever.

The British were horrific but let's not ignore what the Sri Lankan Government did to its Tamil people.

LTTE committed war crimes. But, the Tamil people are not the LTTE. Sri Lankan government committed genocide. They bombed UN medical camps and safe zones setup by the Government.

Great post and pretty interesting comparison, IMO. I can't imagine Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony allowing a competing store on their systems.

I spent years playing an MMORPG called "Maplestory" where me and my online friends would just sit on virtual chairs and talk to each other.

There was something called the "Free Market" where there were no monsters to kill (so you couldn't die.) Guilds claimed different Free Market rooms as their "guild rooms" and people would just go AFK there. You'd always be able to find friends hanging out and talking in these rooms.

You could spend real-life money on their cash shop, which had cosmetics and small things like virtual chairs or couches to sit on.

You could even buy "friendship rings" that would display animations if the two of you were in close together.

You literally had to link to YouTube to show us your work.. You don't see the irony in that?

That was a crazy read. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic article and read. It would be really interesting to see something like this for online advertising and selling ad campaigns.

How is this entitlement? They are responding to a claim:

The value of youtube-dl wasn't the software. It was the community. It was the ability to respond, within hours, to a change made on any given site. I.e. youtube-dl stopped working? No problem, file an issue, wait a day, solved.

I don't think you need to preach to HN the value open-source maintainers provide. I think it's fair to assume most people on HN understand this.

I think he means how simply it is to 'decline'. Most websites will have an 'accept' and an extremely convoluted 'decline' or no 'decline' at all.

I've been using Namecheap for domains and domain searches since at least 2009. I haven't used any of their other services, besides their WHOISGuard offerings.

I have never had issues with them stealing domains after searches or any other problems w/ my account.

Wow, thank you for sharing. That was really insightful.

Michael Jackson is a good basketball player. Wayne Gretzky is a good hockey player. Mike Tyson is a good boxer.

I think we can easily say these unbelievable athletes are "good" at their respective sport.

Clicking on individual VC firms doesn't show any results. Looks like a bug, as they show up in the 'all' filter.

This hasn't rolled out to me yet (Canada). I'd be super annoyed about this.

For 2012, the US Department of Justice reported a 93% conviction rate.

Japan also looks like it has a 99% conviction rate. Most countries have the ability to exit-ban foreigners visiting their country. It's not unique to China at all. US does it. Canada does it. South Korea does it.

I think the warning from the US Government is that, in their opinion, China will illegally detain you over made up charges, be careful.

Yeah, there should be an opt-in for this, maybe. But, it was very obvious that it was happening and I don't feel like it was malicious.

UberEATS just shut down their entire operation in South Korea.

A person telling off a blind man with a guide dog is not going to stop being a jerk. They are just inconsiderate and do not care.

Why is it clickbait? Do you mean the title is exaggerated? But "impossible" is still in quotes. It's not clickbait.

That was an incredible read. Such a commitment by the writer to spend this much of his life with them and to share a wider human experience. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, agreed. I think that's why it has a score closer to profound statement.

Are you Tamil? I've never seen Rasam being sold online or in packets like this before.

In South Korea, this is taken to an extreme. Every freeway speed camera is indicated on the default Maps app. It beeps (shorter and louder as the camera gets closer) and then stops.

So everyone just slows down as their maps beep and speed up again once they pass the camera. But, I think this is accepted practice and my suspicion is that a lot of these cameras aren't even real.

Just by having them placed along the freeway every x metres, they force cars to constantly slow down.
